If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 399 Polo Club 2

Once upon a time, all the noble families in the royal capital refused to see Queen Ruan and the little prince, because it was a well-known fact that the little prince was ill. Under He Zhiyuan's deliberate arrangement, everyone believed that the little prince would not live past the age of twenty.

Therefore, the aristocratic families tend to support the second prince Fu Yuxuan.

Due to health reasons, the little prince seldom comes out to interact with everyone. Only the Ruan family occasionally comes out to show their presence and remind everyone not to forget the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.

If in aristocratic families, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is indeed obvious, then for royal bloodline, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is not that important.

The Second Prince and Concubine Liu were incomparable in popularity, completely surpassing Empress Ruan and the young prince.

Everything changed because of the return of the eldest prince, Prince Chen.

Who would have thought that Queen Ruan’s eldest son was still alive and living in another country.

Not to mention that he was crowned king right after returning, the Pacification Office had a bad hand from the beginning. There was not a single useful talent. All the carefully educated direct descendants of the aristocratic families were waiting to see the prince make a fool of himself.

It's not that these children from noble families completely surrendered to the Second Prince, they just wanted Prince Chen to face up to reality and bow to them, so that the interests can be balanced in the future.

As a result, Prince Chen directly bypassed them, beckoned a group of trash, turned the tide, and conquered the Thirteen Villages with a few trash.

Today, the Pacification Office has completely established itself. I heard that it recently solved two old cases, implicating several ministers.

Not to mention the officials in the court, even the aristocratic families began to feel scared.

So when Shen Sui'an's invitations were sent to various houses, almost no one refused and came with generous gifts.

They all rushed to establish a good relationship with Shen Sui'an.

In addition to Princess Jinyun, she had a grudge with Shen Sui'an before.

She glared at Shen Sui'an angrily.

"What are you proud of!"

The eldest princess glanced at her calmly, "Why are you so impatient?"

Jinyun bit her lip and said, "Mother, I just don't accept it."

"What's there to be dissatisfied about? She married a good husband. Do you think those people flatter her because she organized the polo match today? It's because of the Prince and Queen behind her." The eldest princess whispered.

Jinyun finally felt a little regretful now. If she had known that her uncle would ask her whether she wanted to marry Prince Chen, she should have agreed.

She wanted to see if Shen Suian could still laugh.

"Miss Ruan won."

With a gong, the polo match ended.

Ruan Zhaoxia came over with the prize. The girl had a bright and happy smile on her face, beads of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks were red like steamed red fruit.

In her hand was a famous sword named Raozhirou.

How can steel be tempered a hundred times and become so soft as to be as flexible as fingers? This sword is a soft sword, with a blade that is both hard and soft, suitable for women to carry. It was given by Queen Ruan as a prize.

"Cousin, I won." Ruan Zhaoxia shouted.

"Tsk, what's the point? Everyone else gives in to you." Jinyun did not forget to sneer.

Ruan Zhaoxia sighed, "Jinyun, you're not blind. Who gave in to me just now? Point it out, or you can come down and let's compete."

"Let's compete." Jinyun stood up.

"Ha, you really dare to agree. I just finished a polo game and haven't even had a sip of water yet. If you compete with me now, even if you win, others will say that you won unfairly. If you lose, you will cry again." Ruan Zhaoxia said with a smile.

Jinyun glared at her angrily.

The princess pulled her back and said, "Xia Jie'er is right. You refused to leave just now, and now you are unwilling to accept Xia Jie'er's victory."

Ruan Zhaoxia raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Sui'an with a smile, "Cousin, I'll leave this prize with you first. I'm going to change my clothes."

"Go quickly, don't catch a cold." Shen Sui'an said.

As soon as the exciting polo match ended, a group of heroic women appeared on the horse field and began to perform wonderful skills on horseback.

I saw the woman in red in the middle riding a horse and galloping around the field.

He shook the spear in his hand, and the spear cherry bloomed like a flower.

Then he flipped over on the horse's back like a kite, and the tip of his spear cut through the air like a dancing silver snake.

Everyone applauded.

"Where did Princess Chen find such a group of acrobats?" asked the eldest princess.

Shen Sui'an said, "Don't you know, Princess? These girls are from the Salesian Home. They are not acrobats, but are preparing to join the women's army. The Queen heard that I was going to hold a polo club, so she specially lent them to a few people."

"Are they female soldiers?" The eldest princess sat up straight.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Not yet. We have just finished the training and the selection has not been completed. Not everyone can join the women's army. I heard that there will be a selection after the training and only those who are suitable can join."

"..." The eldest princess's lips drooped slightly, "Princess Chen has just arrived, so she knows everything clearly."

Suddenly, a scream came from behind.

Then there was the voice of a man calling for help, "Help, help."

The eldest princess' eyes instantly sparked with strong curiosity, "What happened? There are only female guests today, where did the man come from?"

I saw a young man covering his bleeding forehead and running out from the women's changing room in panic.

"The eldest daughter of the Ruan family has killed someone. The eldest daughter of the Ruan family has killed someone."

Shen Sui'an's eyes changed slightly. This man...

She guessed the other person's identity almost immediately.

She looked at Ruan Zhaoxia worriedly, and only felt relieved when she saw that she was neatly dressed and Fuqiu was beside her.

"What happened?" Shen Sui'an asked coldly.

"Ah, isn't this the eldest son of the Shao family? He seems to be Xia Jie'er's fiancé, right? No way, even if they want to have a tryst, he can't..."

Shen Suian looked sharply at the woman who spoke. It was Madam Huang who had been following the eldest princess.

Mrs. Huang lowered her head guiltily, not daring to continue speaking.

Ruan Zhaoxia sneered, "Cousin, this man was sneaking around outside the locker room and was hit with a stone."

"It was clearly you who smashed it." Shao Guanming pointed at Ruan Zhaoxia and shouted.

"If you weren't sneaky, who would throw stones at you?" Ruan Zhaoxia chuckled. "I'm actually very curious about what kind of hobbies Master Shao has. Why is he lying outside the toilet?"

"You want to steal the toilet?"

The women behind Ruan Zhaoxia covered their mouths and giggled.

"Cousin, we were combing our hair together just now, and Fuqiu said there was a thief sneaking around, so we all went together to catch the thief."

Shen Sui'an saw that Shao Guanming's face was covered in blood, "Take him down and let the doctor bandage him first."

"I remember that Mrs. Shao did not come to the polo club today. How did Young Master Shao get in?" Princess Kang asked puzzledly.

"Mrs. Shao didn't come, but Miss Shao seems to be here."

The eldest princess: "Miss Ruan, are you bringing your future sister-in-law here?"

Ruan Zhaoxia replied dignifiedly, "Your Highness, the Princess, Young Master Shao and I have long since broken off our engagement. We are married and have nothing to do with each other."

The dissolution of the marriage between the two families was officially announced to everyone.
