A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1356 - 1354: Best Friends 2
Previously on A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace...
On the vast field, three girls on white horses stood in three different directions.
The polo was right at the center, held by a little eunuch who was also the referee.
He held the ball high, with a whistle in his hand.
Later, he would blow the whistle and throw the ball high into the air.
Once the whistle sounded, the Princess County Lords would immediately ride their horses forward to grab the ball.
Where they stood right now was their own goal.
They had to use the sticks in their hands to get the ball into their goal to win.
At this moment.
The little eunuch raised the ball and whistle high, and the field was silent, even a bit tense.
The three girls kept their eyes fixed on the Colorful Silk-Wrapped Exquisite Ball, their ears ready to catch the whistle sound.
...
A moment later, the little eunuch suddenly placed the whistle to his lips and blew a long sound.
At the same time, he threw the ball forcefully into the air.
The three girls instantly shot forward like three arrows released from a bowstring.
Each had a serious expression and a graceful posture.
While swinging the long whips in their hands, they shouted.
"Giddy-up!"
"Giddy-up!"
At that moment, they had just one thought in their minds: faster, faster, must beat the other two to the ball!
Yue Er held her breath and focus, being the first to reach the center and take the ball.
She hurried the ball towards her goal while dodging the pursuit of the other two.
Yilan and Chen Wei Yu were not to be underestimated, especially County Princess Yilan.
Her riding and ball skills were superior to Yue Er’s.
Seeing the ball snatched away, she calmly adjusted her direction and encircled Yue Er directly.
Yue Er was shocked and just intended to change direction to evade, but unfortunately... it was too late.
Not only did she fail to evade, but she also lost the ball to Chen Wei Yu amid the twists and turns.
Chen Wei Yu smiled triumphantly at having seized the ball.
"Yue Er, even old horses stumble at times!"
Yue Er felt indignant, furrowed her brows, and harshly swung her whip to chase.
To her surprise, Chen Wei Yu nimbly dodged aside, avoiding Yue Er’s pursuit.
She continued moving the ball towards her goal.
Yue Er pursued relentlessly, as did Yilan.
Chen Wei Yu ran desperately forward.
But unfortunately... no matter how desperately she ran, she could never escape the chase of two experts.
Soon, her ball fell into Yilan’s hands.
Yilan was not proud but remained calm.
Skillfully riding her horse, she rushed towards her goal with maximum ball-moving speed.
However, Yue Er and Chen Wei Yu were no pushovers either.
One focused on chasing, the other on intercepting.
Finally... just as County Princess Yilan was about to reach her goal.
Yue Er spotted a weakness in her defense.
She went past the side of the opponent’s horse and took a risky swing.
The ball flew out.
Chen Wei Yu turned and caught the ball on the chase.
Yue Er quickly maneuvered with her stick to hook it.
The beautifully crafted Colorful Exquisite Ball landed smoothly under her stick.
"Haha!"
"Even old horses stumble, Wei Yu!"
Chen Wei Yu was so furious she gritted her teeth.
"Yue Er, you..."
Yue Er stuck out her tongue.
"I didn’t break any rules!"
"Off I go!"
She quickly flipped over, bypassing Yilan who was coming to demand the ball.
County Princess Yilan and Chen Wei Yu exchanged a glance.
"Chase!"
"I’ll chase from here, you go over there!"
"Alright!"
The two agreed to encircle, but Yue Er was ultimately a step faster.
In the end, Yue Er successfully moved the ball into her goal.
"Hahaha... I finally won once!"
She enthusiastically dismounted from the horse without even wiping the sweat from her head.
County Princess Yilan and Chen Wei Yu took off their gear, but both were somewhat discontent.
"You little girl, you’re so bold, even dared to jump off the horse and flip over!"
"Exactly! Technically, it’s against the rules!"
Yue Er was smug.
"Where’s the foul? You’re losing and trying to cheat?"
Chen Wei Yu was speechless and directly took off her Cat’s Eye Stone Bracelet from her wrist.
"What’s there to cheat? We’re not as high as Princesses, but we can afford to lose this little thing!"
Yilan raised her eyebrows.
"Indeed!"
"Later I’ll have my maidsend the nesting dolls to you!"
"But we should make it clear first, you must return them on time!"
Yue Er, while playing with the Cat’s Eye Stone Bracelet, giggled and agreed.
"I promise to return them on time, definitely!"
Yilan was completely relieved.
"That’s better!"
She looked at the sky and said to Yue Er.
"Well, it’s not easy for you to leave the palace, hurry back!"
"It’s getting late, and we should head back too!"
Yue Er felt a bit reluctant.
"Oh! Have to go back again!"
"I really want to go with you!"
Chen Wei Yu laughed teasingly.
"Sure! Why don’t you stay and spend the night at my place!"
"Our house may not compare to the palace, but we have two empty rooms, and if not, we can squeeze in one bed!"
Yilan couldn’t help but laugh at her.
"Can’t believe you said that, a Princess would have to squeeze in with you!"
Then she pulled Yue Er aside.
"Don’t listen to her!"
"If you feel bored, come to my place!"
"Last time you went, my mother kept thinking about it!"
"She keeps asking when you’ll come again!"
"She made braised goose feet herself, better than the Imperial Chef’s! She’s been wanting to save some for you!"
Yue Er’s eyes sparkled more eagerly.
"I want to come!"
"But not today, let’s talk later!"
"If I come back too late, my Empress mother will worry, and my Emperor father will scold me!"
Thoughtfully, she added.
"Please thank your mother for me!"
"Tell her... I’ll visit her when I have time!"
Yilan smiled.
"Got it!"
"Be careful!"
Wei Yu also smiled.
"Hurry back, next time we’ll come to the palace to see you!"
Yue Er waved with a smile.
"Okay!"
Then she turned and left.
...
By the time she returned to the palace, it was truly dark.
When she entered Fengyu Pavilion, an Old Sister came up anxiously.
"Princess, you’re finally back, the Empress has sent someone to inquire three times!"
"Next time... you must not be this late!"
The Sister following Yue Er immediately panicked.
"Oh no, oh no, what should be done?"
"The Empress will surely call me for questioning again!"
"Princess! Princess, you must speak up for this old servant!"
Then she continued to nag.
"Didn’t I say you should return in two or three Shi Chen?"
"This old servant reminded you over and over again..."
Yue Er was sweating all over, feeling sticky, while walking inside and taking off her coat.
Hearing her endless nagging, Yue Er felt instantly annoyed, and her tone turned impatient.
"What nonsense are you babbling?"
"Keep on talking, and I’ll seal your mouth shut!"
So annoying, she’s becoming like a fly!
The Old Sister quickly shut her mouth.
"Princess, don’t be angry! Princess, don’t be angry!"
