Chapter 4 Eccentricity

The house is very empty, and all the ornaments on the first floor are emptied for today's pitching pot.

As soon as Xie Ying entered the room, everyone's eyes looked over. Some of them were amazed when they saw the scene of Xie Ying playing butterflies in the garden just now, and now Xie Ying is closer to them, and they feel that they are really stunning beauties.

Pang Dai, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, she was very unhappy, she was the focus of everyone in the past, and today the limelight that should have belonged to her was taken away by Xie Ying.

At this moment, she is not happy, Xie Ying should not be happy!

"Sister Xie is here, we're watching His Royal Highness throw pots!" With a passionate face, Pang Dai pulled her to a man dressed in crimson. "This is the Second Highness, and the one next to him is the Sixth Highness."

"Second Highness, Sixth Highness." Xie Ying saluted in turn.

The Second Highness is indeed the same as the rumors, heroic and magnificent.

It's just that these six highnesses are dressed as Confucian scholars and have delicate faces, if it weren't for Pang Dai's reminder, she would only be a scholar.

"Don't be polite, I heard that Miss Xie Er was born in Jiangmen, presumably this pitching pot must not be difficult for you, can you learn a thing or two with this king?" Mu Jue's voice was thick, looking at Xie Ying with anticipation in his eyes.

Xie Ying was stunned, she thought that it would be Pang Dai who wanted to throw a pot to make it difficult for her. And Pang Dai was desperately trying to suppress the smile on his face at the moment.

"Second Highness praised falsely, I practiced martial arts just to strengthen my body, and my martial arts are not good." Xie Ying could only pretend to be very embarrassed.

Today is in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is the birthday of the Zuo Minister. She didn't want to be in the limelight and dismiss the face of the main family.

"Really? But wasn't Miss Xie Er taught by Lao Guogong himself? Who knew that Mu Jue asked again.

"Yes, I grew up with my grandfather." Xie Ying answered truthfully.

"That second young lady is good at martial arts?" Mu Jue asked.

"Briefly." Xie Ying felt bad in her heart.

"That's it, Second Miss Xie grew up next to the old Guogong, and she knows martial arts, she must be taught by him personally, if she wants to come to learn from us, she will definitely come out on top, otherwise wouldn't it be an insult to the reputation of the old Guogong, Second Miss, you say, what this king said is right?"

Mu Jue's face was sincere, looking at that face, Xie Ying wanted to beat someone.

She didn't understand, where did she offend Mu Jue, she had to be so aggressive, or what did he want to throw the pot for? Try your hand at martial arts? What does he want to do?

"Second brother, Second Miss Xie has something unspeakable, why do you want to force it." Mu Yao, the sixth prince beside him, saw that Xie Ying was forced by his second brother, and he couldn't bear to open his mouth to persuade.

"Second brother, what the sixth brother said is right, why should you endure it." Mu Jue was about to speak, when a male voice came from outside the house.

Everyone looked at the door, and the leading man was wearing a royal blue robe, with beautiful facial features, and a folding fan in his right hand, with a polite style.

"Your Highness." When Pang Dai saw the three princes, he hurriedly went up to salute, and then everyone hurriedly saluted.

"The second brother doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." The Third Highness in front of him, Mu Po, spoke out and blamed.

Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?

She and His Royal Highness each have a marriage contract, and she will be his sister-in-law in the future, if he pities her, I am afraid that after today's banquet, she will have a reputation for being a red face and a disaster.

She didn't believe that His Royal Highness really didn't know who she was.

At this moment, even if she couldn't think of anything, or it was impossible to throw the problem to the Second Highness out of the difficulty of the Second Highness just now.

"Back to the Third Highness, the Second Highness just wanted to learn from me about the pot throwing skills, and I was afraid that I hadn't touched this thing for many years, and my skills were unfamiliar, so I hesitated. He came to the pity and cherishing jade that His Royal Highness said. Xie Ying said slowly and unhurriedly to the Third Highness.

"I see, but I misunderstood." Seeing that the third highness was not embarrassed by the second brother, the third highness changed his words.

It can be seen that the third prince has a relatively frivolous personality, but this fifth prince can stretch and bend, and he is a character.

"Since Second Miss Xie should go, let's start the competition." Mu Jue looked like what had nothing to do with him just now, and was bent on competing with Xie Ying.

Xie Ying had scolded him thousands of times in her heart, but the smile on her face was extraordinarily bright: "There should always be a head pick in this competition, right?" ”

Mu Jue felt bad when he saw Xie Ying's smile, sure enough, was it just a pick?

"Okay, if this king loses, I will give you the treasure spirit bow that my father once gave me." Mu Jue's words were refreshing.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the Baoling Bow was the emperor's favorite bow and crossbow.

He once took it to conquer Beirong in person, shot Xiao Gan, the first general of Beirong at that time, with an arrow, drove away Beirong, and returned stability to Beirong for decades. After that battle, this bow became famous in the Great Liang, and many samurai dreamed of it.

However, in today's holy government, he likes literature and dislikes martial arts. And the second prince is the only one among the princes who has outstanding martial arts, so he gave it to the second prince on his fifteenth birthday.

"I'm not going to lose." Xie Ying looked at Mu Jue and looked directly at him, his gaze firm.

"Okay, then I'll testify, we will throw the pot in today's game farther and more stable than who hits." The third prince immediately spoke, approached Mu Jue and said, "The second brother is not allowed to deny it if he loses." ”

The entire Cuiwei Pavilion was attracted by this competition, and they made room for the two of them.

After a while, the pot in the hall on the first floor was rearranged. Two pots are placed in the center of the hall, and a line of white flour is drawn on the ground one meter away from the pot, which is considered not to be crossed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Royal Highness just informed the minions of the new rules for throwing pots today." A young man with a very festive smile walked up to the crowd.

"There are three rounds today, six arrows per person per game.

The first game disposed of the pot at one meter, the second game at three meters, and the third game at five meters, only more than who threw more arrows.

Second Highness and Second Miss Xie have any opinions? ”

"This king has no opinion."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's get started." After speaking, two maids came up and stood on both sides of Xie Ying and Mu Jue, handing arrows to the two.

"You start first, I follow." Mu Jue looked at Xie Ying and said softly.

"Okay." Xie Ying didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all, there was no such incident today, did this man want to test her martial arts?

Xie Ying took three arrows from the maid's hand at one time, turned the feathers of the arrows upside down, and the three of them hit the mouth of the pot in unison.

"Good!"

"You can still play like this!"

"Awesome!"

There was a round of applause, and Xie Ying turned her head to look at Mu Jue. She could have not had to be so flamboyant, it was all him. So let's just get off the horse, and she's excited to see how he'll respond.

Mu Jue looked at Xie Ying's gaze, with a smile on his face, but he was sincere.

He wanted to try his future sister-in-law's martial arts today, and when she was shuttling through the pear orchard, she found that she walked lightly, and when she was a martial arts practitioner, she was very curious and wanted to try it.

But she doesn't want to be like this, and she doesn't look like she's going to be the one to admit defeat!

Mu Jue picked up the arrow in his hand and also turned the feather end upside down, like Xie Ying, three in unison, straight to the mouth of the pot.

There was another round of applause around, and Xie Ying felt provoked.

Again he took the arrows from the maid's hand, this time three arrows, and divided them into two parts in the same way, two into the left ear of the pot and one into the right ear of the pot.

The same is true for Mu Jue.

"The first game is a draw, and the second game begins."

In the second game, the pitcher was placed at a distance of three meters, Xie Ying's body leaned forward slightly, and three arrows were thrown into the mouth of the pot and then popped out and then fell into the mouth of the pot; The last three arrows were divided into two parts and thrown into the teapot lug.

The same is true for Mu Jue.

"The second game was a draw and the third game started.

Xie Ying looked at this situation and suddenly became very calm in her heart, and if she continued like this, she was not too ostentatious after three draws.

In this game, the pitcher is placed at a distance of five meters, which is a bit far away. Xie Ying asked the maid to bring a cushion, knelt on it, and used two arrows at a time, two middle pots, two middle left pot ears, and two middle right pot ears.

Mu Jue didn't sit on a cushion like her, she still stood and threw the pot, and then threw it three times like her.

It's just two middle pots, two middle pots with left ears, one with right pot ears, and one rubbed the right ear of the pot and fell to the ground.

"In the comprehensive three games, Miss Xie Er won."

"Good!"

The crowd was full of applause again.

Xie Ying knew that he did it on purpose, but why? He loses, but he has to give the Bow......

"Tsk, my hand is slipping, it's this king who lost, Miss Xie Er is worthy of being born in the general's house, and she has not humiliated the family." Mu Jue turned around and looked at Xie Ying with a smile, showing his generosity.

"The second brother even has a time when he misses, but he can't be fooled! Hahaha! The third prince stepped forward and looked at Mu Jue and laughed.

"It was His Royal Highness who underestimated the enemy, so I was able to drill the gap." Xie Ying retorted.

"Miss Xie Er is skilled, I am willing to lose the bet, I will ask someone to send the Baoling Bow to the Yasukuni Mansion tomorrow." Mu Jue was very sincere.

The two of them were touting each other, and near the door, a woman in a crescent-colored shirt stood looking at the two who were talking and laughing, raising the corners of her mouth, her eyes showing fierceness......

"Sister Sakura is amazing, can you teach me next time?" Zhang Xuan put her head in front of Xie Ying, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay, but I have to ask your sister-in-law about this." Xie Ying tapped her head.

"Okay, sister-in-law will definitely agree, and Sister Xin will come with me then." turned around and took Song Xin's hand.

The three of them walked out together, there was a painting competition in the bamboo forest, and it was said that Chen Ling, the little painting fairy in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, was also there.

Walking to a place where there were fewer people, Zhang Xuan suddenly stopped, looked up at Xie Ying, and hesitated: "Sister Ying, will you blame me and Sister Xin for not speaking for you when His Royal Highness made things difficult for you just now?" ”

Song Xin also looked at Xie Ying with some doubts.

This is really a direct girl, and if others would have exposed it, they would have treated her like a handkerchief.

"Why, if you open your mouth on that occasion, it will inevitably increase unnecessary trouble." Xie Ying replied with a serious face.

"Uh-huh, I knew my sister wouldn't blame." After that, Zhang Xuan turned her head to Song Xin: "Sister Xin, you are just blindly worried." ”

It turned out that this was Song Xin's idea, and this girl's mind was a little delicate. Feeling Xie Ying's eyes, Song Xin lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's good to say." Xie Ying didn't care.
