Great Zhou Empress

Xue Zhijing's words really suited Yuan Jin's appetite, and she also said excitedly, "Zhijing, I really like playing polo, let's have a good time together."

"Good~"

"Can Aunt Xue know how to ride a horse?" Yuan Jiegang asked.

Xue Zhijing knew it in his previous life, but he can't say he knows it now, he can only say, "I've seen others ride it."

Yuan Jin immediately patted his chest and said, "It's a little trick to ride a horse, I'll teach you."

The horsemen brought over two tall horses, taller than Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin. Yuan Jin took the reins and patted one of the horses on the head, "This is my good friend, named Li Huo, who came from the Western Regions." As for Maxima, it grew up with me, and it can understand what I say."

Yuan Jin spoke with the arrogance and childishness of a young man, as if he was showing off his treasure to his friends.

Xue Zhijing's psychological age is much older than her, so naturally he doesn't feel uncomfortable, he just finds it interesting.

"This horse is called Heishi, and it has a very docile personality. You can ride this horse and learn."

Yuan Jin showed Xue Zhijing how to get on a horse. Although she was not big, she had strong legs. After stepping on the stirrup with one foot, her waist, abdomen and legs exerted strength, and she rode up like a catapult.

Then Yuan Jin rolled off the horse and said to Xue Zhijing, "Come on, Zhijing, try it."

Xue Zhijing stepped on the stirrup, supported the saddle, and pushed up with strength from his waist and abdomen. Perhaps because the body was too small, the first push was unsuccessful, and he got on the horse after two times.

After taking a breath, Xue Zhijing was thinking, he really needs to exercise properly, his physical fitness is not enough.

Yuan Jin rode her raging fire, and Xue Zhijing rode Heishi, strolling slowly around the racecourse. Because of Xue Zhijing's experience, he got acquainted with each other very quickly, not to mention that Heishi has a docile personality, and at first glance he looks good.

"Zhijing, you were born to live on a horse. The first ride was so smooth, not bad." Yuan Jin smiled.

Xue Zhijing held the rein, showing a shy smile, "I can barely walk, Yuan Jin, you have to teach me, train me well, I still have to ride a horse and play ball."

The slight show of weakness made the youthful Yuan Jin feel proud, and he raised his head and said loudly, "No problem, I, Yuan Jin, can do nothing else. If you want to talk about riding horses, archery and playing polo, I want to be a son of an official in Bianjing. In terms of ability, it ranks second, and no one dares to rank first."

"If you are so powerful, then you should be my master, Master Yuan, this disciple is being polite here."

"Good talk~"

After going back and forth like this, the two became acquainted. Judging by Yuan Jin's reaction, he liked Xue Zhijing very much.

Yuan Jiegang looked at the two little girls chatting happily on horseback, and Lao Huai stroked his beard in relief. This daughter, he was taken by him to grow up in the schoolyard since she was a child, and she has the same hobbies as a boy. At this age, no one knows how to embroider, so there are no familiar girls of the same age to be friends with.Unexpectedly, this time in the palace, she would hit it off with the newly promoted female official so much.

Seeing that Xue Zhijing quickly became familiar with riding a horse, Yuan Jin took her to speed up for a few laps. Xue Zhijing also followed, so he designed a training plan for her according to her ability, and Xue Zhijing also approved it.

After getting off the horse, Xue Zhijing mentioned to Yuan Jiegang how to form a polo team.

Yuan Jiegang is very familiar with the polo team. He trains in the school grounds, and occasionally uses it as a recreational activity. It can not only train the equestrian skills of the soldiers, but also cultivate the spirit of organization.

It is normal for the royal horse farm to do training.I am more concerned about the polo players. Yuan Du knows that you are more familiar with me than me. Where can we recruit these polo players. "

Yuan Jin chuckled, "The royal polo team, don't look for some aristocratic children, all of them are smeared, they are the best when it comes to singing songs, and when it comes to riding horses, hehe, each of them may have their feet softened into mud."

Yuan Jiegang heard that his daughter hurt others so much, but he didn't say much, and he really doted on her.

"My suggestion is that there are many children of middle-level soldiers in the army. They have practiced martial arts since childhood and have a strong physical foundation. If the imperial concubine wants to build a team that can really play, I think it is better to recruit these members." Yuan Jiegang said.

Middle class?

But Yuan Jiegang's proposal is also in line with Xue Zhijing's intentions. After all, it is the royal polo team, so it is definitely not suitable for ordinary people, but the children of official families. .On the contrary, the middle and middle ranks of the army have the desire to improve and have a strong physique. If they are trained properly, they must be a strong team.

"Okay, then please Yuan Duzhi. The racecourse, horses, training funds, etc. are all raised by me. Yuan Duzhi can find someone without worry."

Xue Zhijing wrote the plan of forming a polo team into a proposal and presented it to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine looked at it, nodded and said, "The writing is very clear and feasible, the words are not many, but it is better than what many ministers have written for me."

Xue Zhijing smiled, "It's just seeing my majesty that you read so many papers every day, and the writing of the chief executives is brilliant. My majesty sometimes has to use her left hand to review. It's really hard. I have nothing special to do, I can only use the most concise Explain things clearly in your own language, so as to save your time, ma'am."

"Not much." The imperial concubine folded up Xue Zhijing's letter of plan, and patted the palm of her hand with the hard shell, "This is the handwriting, it looks like it was written by a child who just learned calligraphy, so ugly that I cry."

"Eh?"

Looking at the imperial concubine's expression, I knew that she was teasing more than disgusting, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

Having been here for so long, Xue Zhijing also knows that people in this era have high requirements for calligraphy that are as high as moral requirements. Her handwriting can be seen clearly in italics. Not at all. If you want to take the imperial examination, the examiner will probably have to throw it away at first sight. It is impossible to pass the most elementary child's examination.

"Hey," Xue Zhijing rarely showed a shy expression, "Madam, I will practice, I will practice calligraphy, and I will practice from today on."

"Yes, practice for me!" The imperial concubine took the paper and patted her head lightly, "Writing is a person's face, practice hard, don't go out and embarrass me, let people say that people who go out of my palace, He wrote an unspeakable word."

"Yes, ma'am, I must practice hard."

The imperial concubine allocated a part of the funds to her according to the budget she wrote, "This part is the private property of our Yuan family, which can be regarded as my dowry. There is no extra money in the national treasury and the royal treasury. Give it to me." Save some money."

Xue Zhijing smiled, "Madam, I will make good use of the money you gave me to form a satisfactory polo team for you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

But this polo team can't just rely on the concubine's money, it needs some income. Xue Zhijing already has some plans in his heart, but he can't implement them yet. He has to figure out the prototype of the polo team first. come out.

Xue Zhijing became extremely busy. She took Xiao Hong, Xiao Lu and Xiao Cui to run around, arranged the racecourse, selected the horses, and prepared some preliminary work.

From time to time, I have to meet with Yuan Jiegang and Yuan Jin to see the progress of their recruitment of players, and at the same time, I have to train myself to practice physical fitness and equestrian skills.

In order to increase the training time, she even started riding a horse out of the palace to the Yuan Mansion by herself. She really used all the time and opportunities to improve her technical ability.

Finally, it was time for the polo team members to meet.

What Xue Zhijing didn't expect was that the establishment of the Royal Polo Team leaked out through some channel. Not only some children of middle-level military officers came to the racecourse, but also a large number of noble children with luxurious clothes.

This is how to do?
