Five years after her death, she awoke on the dragon bed.

Chapter 460 Consort Ning Lost
"I must say, Consort Ning is indeed a very good polo player," Lou Suyi remarked.

Unfortunately, Consort Ning was trying to wink at the blind man, and Murong was watching her the whole time, his attention not on the polo match.

No matter how well Consort Ning played polo, Murong had no interest in her whatsoever.

After scoring, Consort Ning looked expectantly at the head of the table. She thought that Murong would take a second look at her after seeing her superb skills, but the result was quite the opposite.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Murong never looked directly at her. To be precise, Murong's attention was entirely focused on Lou Suyi, and he didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye.

Her purpose in participating in the polo match was simply to let Murong see her excellence, but this man just didn't like her.

Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the reins, and the cheers around her suddenly became shrill.

It turned out that her carefully prepared riding outfit and superb ball skills were nothing more than an insignificant performance in Murong's eyes.

She suddenly felt that the beautiful goal she had just scored was utterly ridiculous, just as pathetic as the one-woman show she had directed and acted in.

If Murong doesn't pay attention to her, what's the point of her winning the match?
No, that's not the case.

If she wins the polo match, she doesn't want Lou Suyi's prize; instead, she wants to make a request of Murong.

Having made her decision, she was filled with fighting spirit once again.

Chen Xing and Lou Suyue were discussing countermeasures. They both knew that Ning Fei was very strong, and if they went head-to-head, their chances of scoring were slim. So they had to use strategy.

At this moment, Lou Suying brought them water and said in a low voice, "I don't know how to play polo, but I think three of you in this group know how, while only two of Consort Ning's group do. Perhaps Consort Ling is the breakthrough point. How about we try a feint?"

Chen Xing and Lou Suyue exchanged a glance, realizing that Lou Suyue's words made sense.

If a direct confrontation doesn't work, then we have to resort to tricks, which still offers a chance.

Lou Suyi was about to go back when she discovered that Murong had followed her at some point and had obviously overheard her words.

Those not far away saw that Lou Suyi and Murong were both standing on Chen Xing's side, and immediately understood that the Emperor and Empress were on Chen Xing's side.

Consort Ning also witnessed this scene and thought to herself that such matters would not be changed according to Lou Suying's will.

She won the game based on her own strength; even if Lou Suyi were the empress, she couldn't possibly influence the outcome of the match.

Today she was going to show Lou Suyi that she not only wanted to win, but to win big.

After a break, the polo match continued.

Ning Fei seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and she actually bypassed the defenders and went straight for the goal. It looked like she was about to score, but fortunately, Lou Suyue intercepted her at the crucial moment.

The two teams then became locked in a stalemate.

Chen Xing and Lou Suyue fought calmly and patiently, exchanging a knowing glance as they kept a close watch on Consort Ning from both sides.

Whenever Consort Ning rode her horse with the ball, two figures would always follow closely, blocking her attack route.

Ning Fei appeared isolated and helpless amidst the heavy encirclement, but she stubbornly insisted on her own way, preferring to have the ball intercepted rather than pass it to a teammate in a better position.

With the scoreboard on the sidelines remaining unchanged for a long time, Ningfei's team gradually became a little anxious.

Just then, Lou Suyue suddenly made a beautiful turn and caught the ball.

She pretended to pass the ball to Chen Xing, who was supporting on the right wing. As expected, Consort Ning fell for the trap and immediately turned her horse around to charge towards Chen Xing.

In that split second, Lou Suyue flicked her wrist, and the polo mallet drew a blur in the air, sending the polo ball flying diagonally toward the unmarked Ling Jieyu.

The previously unnoticed concubine now had eyes as sharp as an eagle. Her arms outstretched, the sound of her mallet striking the polo ball sending a shiver down one's spine. The ball streaked through the air like a shooting star, landing steadily in the goal amidst the goalkeeper's panicked gaze.

No one at the scene expected Chen Xing's team to have a chance to score. Anyone with even a basic understanding of polo knew that Ning Fei's team was far superior to Chen Xing's. But just when everyone thought the game was over, a turning point occurred.

Murong and Lou Suyi were the first to applaud, and only then did the others react, and the applause in the room was thunderous.

Ning Fei was genuinely surprised that Chen Xing's group had a chance to score; her mind went completely blank.

She didn't hear a word of what the person had said to her.

After a break, the game continued.

People were worried about Consort Ning's condition, but Consort Ning, being strong-willed, said she was fine. It was only due to her negligence that Consort Ling had taken advantage of the situation.

This time, as long as she kept a close eye on Ling Jieyu, Ling Jieyu would have no chance to score again.

The third leg was more intense, with both sides trading blows and the defense becoming more solid. Neither side managed to score by the end of the third leg.

After three rounds, the score was tied.

In other words, the last round will be the deciding game.

Chen Xing's group discussed their strategy and decided to stick to the feint attack plan. Old tricks don't matter, as long as they work.

The competition intensified as the fourth round began.

Consort Ning was heavily guarded, and her polo mallet never managed to touch the polo ball.

Her galloping figure was marked by obvious anxiety, and even the spectators on the sidelines could see that this concubine, who was skilled in football, was in an abnormal state at the moment.

Just then, a glint flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. Seizing an opening in the opponent's defense, he suddenly dribbled forward.

"Stop her!" Consort Ning shouted sharply, and she spurred her horse toward Chen Xing.

Chen Xing raised his staff high as if to shoot, but changed his move and turned towards Ling Jieyu the moment Ning Fei approached.

Consort Ning's lips curled into a cold smile. She had anticipated this feint and immediately turned her horse around to intercept.

Unexpectedly, another unexpected turn of events occurred. Chen Xing skillfully twisted her wrist, and the polo ball flew diagonally from under her mallet towards Lou Suyue, who was completely unguarded.

Lou Suyue was prepared and swung her staff before anyone could react.

With a loud "bang," the polo ball shot into the net like a white rainbow piercing the sun, amidst gasps of surprise from the crowd.

The crowd on the sidelines erupted in thunderous cheers, and the Emperor and Empress both stood up. Lou Suying shouted "Bravo!"

Only Consort Ning remained frozen in place, her golf club drooping limply in her hand.

She lost?
With her ball skills, how could she lose to a bunch of good-for-nothings like Chen Xing?
Consort De's hands were almost broken from clapping.

Consort Ning probably thought she was sure to win, but she lost. Not to mention Consort Ning couldn't believe it, who else present would believe that Consort Ning would lose to Chen Xing and a few other concubines whose ball skills weren't that great?

"Today's game was quite entertaining, not bad," Murong said, gesturing for the four winning concubines to come forward and receive their rewards.

The gifts were all ordinary items, and even Empress Lou Suyi thought that Murong was being a bit stingy.

She then added some prizes, giving each winning group a headdress.

Interestingly, the losing team got nothing.

At this moment, everyone understood one thing: neither the Emperor nor the Empress liked Consort Ning.
