Seeing her look his way, he shamelessly waved at her, causing those nearby to glance over and whisper to Song Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing his riding outfit, Wufu asked Yonghe, \"Is Crown Prince Song also participating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yonghe looked over and replied, \"Indeed, Crown Prince Song, a talent among youths, and being the Crown Prince of Prince Wei’s Mansion, how could he not participate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Song Wei again. Seeing him still staring at her, she couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wei’s eyes lit up at the gesture, but before he could rejoice, Wufu suddenly turned the thumbs-up downward, causing his face to darken. What did she mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu laughed aloud, turning her head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were drumbeats, and next came the sharp voice of an Inner Servant: \"His Majesty arrives, the Empress Dowager arrives, Her Majesty the Empress arrives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone rose from their seats, bowed low, and shouted long live and ten thousand years, the deafening sound spreading far, startling birds into chaotic flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Ministry of Rites official stood up and recited some ceremonial words, but Wufu didn’t pay attention to what was being read; it was undoubtedly praises of the Emperor and Empress Dowager’s merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She focused on the central field; at some point, horseball teams representing Beiyan and Nanyue had lined up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beiyan’s team wore mysterious black and crimson uniforms, with silver-red ribbons tied on their heads, while Nanyue’s uniforms were hidden blue and dark red, with silver-white ribbons on their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu searched for Ah Jiu in the Beiyan team; he wore the same uniform, but his collar and sleeves were embroidered with Coiling Dragon patterns. His handsome face and upright posture on horseback drew attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Beiyan or Nanyue, those participating in the horseball match were young men from noble families or military officer backgrounds, their robust energy captivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these men were good-looking, with striking appearances and youthful vigor, making it hard for women not to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when these men appeared, someone screamed first, cheering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even beside Wufu, there were women screaming, leaving her amazed, wondering where the demure and serene young ladies had gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changping said, \"Such occasions are rare; no one will blame them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu put her hand to her lips and blew a loud whistle, then dropped her hand quickly, too fast to be seen, but startling the women around her.
