I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

The Beirong people were enthusiastic, which made the Emperor frown slightly.

In fact, he didn’t really want Xie Xuanchen to have too much presence, especially in this kind of diplomatic occasion. Recently, Xie Xuanchen was appearing much too frequently.

It’s just that Xie Xuanchen’s reputation was so great that even though he was hidden for 2 years, there were still people who couldn’t forget about him. Even though he himself declined the invitation to play, his prowess was powerful enough for the other party to continue persisting until he accepted their challenge.

The Emperor sighed in his heart, but the overall situation would be the most important thing. Seeing that the Beirong people were all tough and good players, it seemed like each of them was strong and powerful. If Xie Xuanchen lost, the Emperor would lose his image. For the sake of the overall outcome, the Emperor could only put aside the differences between him and Xie Xuanchen for the time being, at least, to resolve this matter first.

The Emperor said, “Prince An and the 8th Prince are young and energetic, so competing with each other would be good to promote the understanding between our two countries. I like to see you youngsters full of vigour and vitality, so I will be the referee for you two. The five-man team of the 8th Prince is ready. Prince An, who would you like to select to join you?”

Everyone present knew that there was no selfishness in light of the overall situation. Ultimately, the next polo match was about to determine the reputation of the country. No matter what personal grievances there were before, they had to push it away at this moment. No matter who Xie Xuanchen chose at this point, the chosen person must fully assist him.

There was no need to worry that teammates would not try their best. In contrast, they were worried that he wouldn’t even be able to select anyone.

The people who were present knew their skills to some extent. They looked at the Khitans’ strong and powerful physique, each man having burly arms that were suited to ride a horse before looking at the civil servants and scholars of the Ye Dynasty. Upon seeing the stark difference, they were embarrassed.

Xie Xuanchen didn’t even bother to look at his choices and said directly, “Anyone is fine. Whoever wants to get on it, do it; it doesn’t make any difference anyway.”

People in the Ye Dynasty felt a little saddened when they heard it and the Emperor looked around, aware that there was no one to choose. For the first time, he regretted that there were no military generals in the centre. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be put in a situation where he couldn’t even select 5 members on a team.

Xie Xuanji, who had remained silent up till now, took a step forward. He cupped his hands and said, “Father Emperor, I am willing to help Second Brother.”

As Xie Xuanji took the initiative to join the fight, many people gave him admiring glances. Standing beside Xie Xuanji, Jiang Mingwei also felt honoured.

Although Jiang Mingwei didn’t remember the plot of playing polo with the Beirong people in the original book, Xie Xuanji was the male lead. And since the male lead was going to play in the game himself, how could it not be a big deal?
