Chapter 122
"This Gu Qingwan is here to be funny, this drumming, archery, and flying flower order is not something that anyone can perform well, she can do it well, just wait to see her make a fool of herself when the time comes." Lu Rong secretly said to Gu Qingyue, listening to the tone of voice, she was very disdainful of Gu Qingwan.
"Perhaps, my sister is already ready, maybe she will shine after the performance." Although Gu Qingyue was speaking for Gu Qingwan verbally, her heart was the same as Lu Rong, and she had been waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Soon the bow and arrow were ready, Gu Qingwan specially picked a peony flower and handed it to the maid fairy crane in the princess's mansion, the drum sounded, Gu Qingwan neatly tied the wide sleeves with a ribbon, and took the bow and arrow.
The first wave of drums stopped, and the peony flower reached Gu Qingzhao's hands, and Gu Qingzhao quickly said half a line of poetry: "When the window is cloudy." β
"Mirror decal yellow!" Gu Qingwan quickly made a good poem, and at the same time, the arrow in her hand was also shot out, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye, fast and accurate.
Everyone cheered, as if they didn't expect Gu Qingwan's archery skills to be so exquisite, clean and neat, which made people look very happy and enjoyable.
Soon the second round started again, the drumming stopped, and this time it reached Xiao Lan's hands, "People return to the queen of the geese." β
"Sifa is in front of the flowers!" blurted out again without thinking, and at the same time hit the bull's-eye.
Round 3......
"Twilight is flat and still."
"Spring flowers are blooming!" It's also the bull's-eye.
The drum beat got faster and faster, and in the fourth round, with the beat of the drum, the flower passed to three people, namely Zhao Yueli, Ji Han and Ji Sheng.
"The first sentence is to solve the three autumn moons."
"The second sentence, the peach and plum blossoms in the east of Luoyang City."
"The third sentence, three hundred miles of Mirror Lake."
The three of them asked questions one after another.
Gu Qingwan replied one by one, "They can bloom February flowers!" Fly around and fall on who's house! Lotus flowers! β
At the same time, the three arrows fired at the same time, passing through the three arrows that originally hit the bull's-eye, everyone was speechless, but they didn't expect that this rumored straw bag beauty Zhaoyang County Lord was not only brilliant, familiar with poetry and proficient in archery, and cheered in unison after being stunned, "Good!" β
Those present know the difficulty of this performance, you have to shoot arrows at the same time as the poem, it is strange not to be distracted, and it is even more difficult to do it well at the same time.
Therefore, this shows how wonderful Gu Qingwan's performance is.
The rest of the rounds are more difficult than the last, Gu Qingwan has completed the performance excellently, her archery movements are smooth, she turns her head, squints and even every step, it looks so beautiful, her voice is soft and clear, and every poem she is right is so beautiful, people can't help but put their eyes on her, and they are reluctant to look away.
With her steps and voice, everyone's emotions fell, and one by one they looked at the woman in the middle of the dance floor with their eyes stupid, how could they be so beautiful and thrilling!
They had never seen a woman with such a beauty that could not be seen in the world.
The drums grew louder and louder.
Gu Qingwan's arrow was like lightning, suddenly sounding, and like a dragon going up to the sky, shuttling and swimming. Her steps, sometimes light as a swallow, sometimes as sharp as an eagle, in the blink of an eye, is the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers!
Ji Han was stupid, the hand holding the wine glass unconsciously loosened, and the wine glass fell on the robe but he didn't know it, even he was stunned-
Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan, what kind of power is still hidden in your body, which impresses me again and again, and makes my eyes have to fall on you.
And Gu Qingyue tightly twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand!
She thought that Gu Qingwan's dancing skills were not good, clumsy and boring, and she would definitely lose to her, but she didn't expect that she didn't mean to work her dancing skills at all, but shot arrows directly.
And Gu Qingyue doesn't know how to shoot arrows at all!
Now, Gu Qingwan is such a preemptive person, everyone has been taken away by her, and they have been indulged in it for a long time, and later, how can her performance make people enter the state!
She bit her lower lip fiercely, and she was really angry in her heart.
At the end of the drum, Gu Qingwan covered her eyes with silk cloth, bent over, her slender waist bent into a beautiful arc, and she shot the last three arrows in her hand......
Everyone's eyes widened, even Ji Xu put all his attention on Gu Qingwan, and nervously clenched the wine glass in his hand, until the three arrows broke through the air and hit the bull's-eye, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that his palms had already been wet.
The crowd of spectators was also thrilling.
At this time, Gu Qingwan had already retreated to the center of the stage, knelt on the ground, presented the bow and arrow to the eldest princess with both hands, and said, "Princess, the courtiers are ugly." β
The eldest princess smiled on her face, nodded, and said, "Very good! Very good! Zhenyuan Houfu has this woman, it is really a blessing, come to someone, reward! β
The reward of the eldest princess is a great honor, and she has always been generous, which will definitely give Qingwan a lot of treasures.
The jealousy in Gu Qingyue's eyes became even stronger.
Old Madam Gu nodded approvingly, it was something to be proud of for her granddaughter to be appreciated by the eldest princess.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie." Gu Qingwan bowed her head and thanked her, and then returned to her seat lightly, always with a faint smile on her face.
She has liked riding and archery since she was a child, her father has always loved her, and he personally taught her to ride and shoot in his spare time.
Horseback archery and polo were her favorite games in the past. After becoming a princess in her last life, she began to learn poetry and songs, and a subset of history. Chen Yuan also specially found the best teacher for her to teach her, and she knew a lot of things.
Gu Qingwan's performance was over, and the eldest princess looked at Gu Qingyue, who was a little pale, and asked, "What are you going to perform?" β
Gu Qingyue hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Courtier, what the courtiers want to perform is "Neon Dress and Feather Dance". Originally, she was full of confidence, but now she has no confidence, and even her originally radiant face looks dark.
Because, she had to admit that even she was shocked by Gu Qingwan's performance!
She never knew that Gu Qingwan would have such a difficult thing.
Sure enough, because everyone had been immersed in Gu Qingwan's performance of drumming, archery, and flying flowers for a long time and did not come back to their senses, although Gu Qingyue tried her best to dance a dance of neon clothes and feathers, it did not attract much attention.
Ji Hanshizi, who she was thinking about, didn't even look at her. Just now, His Royal Highness the proud Prince of the World had the same Gu Qingwan in his eyes who he once looked down on and even hated.
In the end, a dance ended in a tasteless way, and the eldest princess yawned again and again when she saw it, which was really embarrassing.
Gu Qingyue hated Gu Qingwan very much in her heart, but she still didn't give up, she still had a magic weapon!
She nodded to Mama Zhen who was accompanying her, Mama Zhen was very cautious in front of the eldest princess, she was holding a parrot with a very beautiful color in her hand, and everyone's eyes were attracted by this parrot, thinking, what is this second lady of the Marquis of Zhenyuan going to do with a parrot? has been compared to my cousin, aren't you still reconciled?
I saw that Gu Qingyue was holding the parrot, stroking its back with her green and white fingers, walking to the eldest princess and kneeling, raising the parrot high with both hands, bowing her head, and saying:
"Princess, this blue-winged macaw is occasionally obtained by the courtiers, and after being trained by the courtiers, it can also say auspicious words, and the courtiers specially brought this parrot and presented it to the princess."
"Oh?" The eldest princess's expressionless face finally showed a hint of interest, and asked, "What auspicious words will you say?" β
"Will say, 'Princess auspicious, Princess Jin'an'." Gu Qingyue raised her head and said.
"That's good, the parrot in this palace died a few days ago, you just sent one here, bring it over." The eldest princess's face softened unconsciously.
"Yes." Gu Qingyue was overjoyed, and finally won the princess's favor.
Seeing that the princess and Gu Qingyue were starting to get closer, Old Madam Gu also nodded secretly, and said in her heart, Gu Qingyue can enter the eyes of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess's words are worthy of her toys.
Gu Qingyue bent down, put the parrot in front of the princess, touched its head, and said softly, "Bird, bird, princess auspicious, princess Jin'an." β
Suddenly, everyone looked at the parrot and waited for it to speak.
However, I don't know what's wrong, this parrot doesn't have the spirit just now, it droops its ears and stands in front of the eldest princess's table, Gu Qingyue guided it several times, and refused to say a word.
Gu Qingyue glanced at the eldest princess quickly, and suddenly became a little anxious, so she unconsciously increased the strength of her subordinates, patted it on the back, and said, "Quick, bird, princess auspicious, princess Jin'an." β
However, this parrot seemed to be deaf, did not listen to Gu Qingyue's command at all, and took two steps forward with its wings fluttered.
What the hell is going on with this big bird? Didn't the previous auspicious words go very well? Why do you suddenly refuse to say it now?
Gu Qingyue saw that the eldest princess was waiting, and couldn't help but increase the strength of her subordinates, and said in her mouth, "Say, say......"
"Quack, quack!" Suddenly, as if in anger, the parrot suddenly screamed twice, and then fluttered its wings and flew towards the eldest princess as if she were dyingβ
"Quack, quack!" The parrot's claws clawed at the princess's body, and its sharp beak pecked at her face.
"Ah......h
"Ah......" Gu Qingyue was shocked and shouted in panic.
Suddenly, the guards came running quickly, and there was a commotion among the people in the seat, and suddenly, I saw a shadow flashing like a gust of wind, and the parrot was slashed by a palm, tilted its head and fell to the ground, not moving.
"Imperial Aunt ......"
Gu Qingwan's hand holding the wine glass tightened, the person who saved people was Ji Sheng, the eldest princess was shrinking in her arms, her face was pale, and the rest of the guards and minions were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground, only to see that the gorgeous and rich clothes on the princess's body were torn through two holes, and the face was scratched by the parrot and left two deep blood marks, and the gurgling blood came out and fell on the placket on the chest, which looked so scary.
"This, how can it be...... How could this be......" Gu Qingyue was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, unable to move, her whole person was stunned, and she couldn't understand what was going on for a while.
