That sounds pretty simple. Chi Wan deliberately pretended to be innocent and romantic and replied, she knew that Wang Yan had always been unaccustomed to herself, so she must have wanted to see herself make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

Wang Yan listened to her words, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, this rural village girl, thinking that with the favor of the princess, she could really fly on the branches and become a phoenix? Today, I let her know that a sparrow is a sparrow, and it will never be possible to be with the phoenix.

Because she wanted to give Chi Wan a dismount, Wang Yan could be said to be full of strength, staring at the spout of the pot in front of her with bated breath, and with a wave of her hand, the arrow feather that went off her head crossed a beautiful arc in the air and landed steadily in the pot.

"Good!"

Wang Yan won the jackpot and was praised by everyone.

"Now it's your turn." She raised her head at Chi Wan, looking arrogant.

Chi Wan lowered her head and smiled, this little girl's scheming is still too shallow, and she has no thoughts written on her face, but such a person is also the best to deal with.

Looking down and thinking about things, Ji Wan casually threw the arrow feather out.

The arrow swirled around the spout of the pot a few times, and then fell dangerously into the pot.

Knock -

"Ah, in." With a dull sound, Chi Wan tilted her head in surprise and pretended to be surprised.

And seeing that Chi Wan's arrow also successfully entered, Wang Yan's face changed, hiding the unhappiness in her heart.

"It is said that novices are lucky, and sure enough, but the distance will get farther and farther away, and it is not so simple to want to invest in it again." Wang Yan said meaningfully.

Ji Wan smiled indifferently, "But my luck has always been good!" ”

Then everyone failed one after another, but only Chi Wan was able to shoot every time, and it was a little thrilling before, but then she threw more and more easily.

Wang Yan's face became more and more ugly, and in the end, when she didn't even throw it in, she angrily threw the arrow to the ground.

"If you know how to play, why pretend to be a newbie? You're having a good time playing us around, aren't you? Wang Yan decided in her heart that Chi Wan must have done it on purpose.

Chi Xia was talking to other ladies, so she naturally noticed the movement here, but she didn't mean to speak for Chi Wan, she was just responsible for bringing Chi Wan into this circle, as for whether she could gain a foothold in this circle, and then it depended on her own ability.

According to the previous incompatible relationship between her and Chi Wan, she was already good if she didn't stumble in secret, so how could she help?

Originally, when Wang Yan was impulsive and Chi Wan confronted her, she still had some regrets. After all, the princess is standing behind the other party, how much the princess is favored by the national army, everyone can see, in case the princess is in trouble because of this, what should she do?

Thinking of this, Wang Yan's face turned pale, she looked at Chi Xia tremblingly, but found that the other party didn't want to stand up for Chi Wan, but looked at them for a long time, Wang Yan even saw a hint of schadenfreude in the other party's eyes.

Perhaps, the relationship between this Xie Wan and the princess is not as close as everyone speculated.

In a flash of light, Wang Yan came to such a conclusion, plus her words had already been spoken, and there was no room for recovery, so she simply didn't do anything, glared at Chi Wan viciously, and forced the other party to give herself an explanation.

"I'm not lying, this is indeed the first time I have played this game, but I used to go hunting with my father in the mountains, and his father also praised me for my accurate archery, probably because of this, so I was able to hit every time." Chi Wan explained timidly, but it made Wang Yan aggressive.

There were also people at the scene who couldn't get used to Wang Yan's style and immediately stood up to help her speak.

"Miss Xie can be described as a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, not only chivalrous, but also humorous and knowledgeable, no wonder the princess likes you so much." It was the lady of the Protector who spoke.

The weight of her words was much heavier than Wang Yan's, and Wang Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, but she still endured it and didn't have a seizure.

Seeing that it was almost over, Chi Xia interrupted the farce with a timely voice, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said slowly, "Miss Xie is lively and cheerful, with her with me, I feel that the days are not so boring, why don't you live in the princess's mansion in the future, and let the subordinates clean out a courtyard." ”

Resident at the Princess's House? Chi Wan's eyebrows wrinkled suddenly, Xie Yutang, an outsider, could not enter the princess's mansion at will, so wouldn't the two of them have to separate? Moreover, if you live in the princess's mansion, you will definitely be restricted under the roof of others.

"Thank you princess for her kindness, knowing that the princess is lifting me up, but I don't dare to accept this gift with a cheeky face." Chi Wan politely rejected this request, "The princess has given me a lot, I have nothing to reciprocate, I can only accompany the princess to chat and make you happy, if you see me every day, the novelty is over, maybe one day you will be annoyed with me." ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Wan, a country girl, was so knowledgeable, and the ladies present praised each other.

Chi Xia didn't force it, and directly asked the people under him to take out a land deed, "I still have an empty house on East Street, you are not familiar with the place here, and there is no place to stay, I will reward you with this house." ”

After Ji Wan shirked a few times, she took the title deed with a smile.

This was also discussed by them in advance, after all, her current identity on the surface is just a country girl, and suddenly owning a big mansion will still arouse suspicion from others.

"Your performance at the banquet today is quite good, I will take you into the palace in a few days, you must behave well, and strive to make your father like you."

Chi Xia had a lofty posture, as if she was really a princess, and Chi Wan was a country girl at her mercy. Although Ji Wan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't show it, Chi Xia was still useful to them now.

After going back and telling Xie Yutang about entering the palace, Xie Yutang was still a little worried.

"I will send someone to protect you secretly, no matter what happens, your safety must come first."

Chi Wan couldn't help laughing, "Don't underestimate me, I don't think Chi Xia is very reliable, we had better gain the trust of the monarch." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yutang couldn't help but snort coldly, "I can see through her careful thinking at a glance, don't you just think that we are down now, and she wants to pinch us?" ”

"She is not afraid, she is afraid that the people of the King of Chu will find us here." Ji Wan is determined to make good use of the opportunity tomorrow to impress the monarch of Shanglin Kingdom.

Early the next morning, Chi Xia sent someone to invite Chi Wan over, "I think you are entering the palace for the first time, and it is always right to prepare in advance." ”

After speaking, he found that no one answered, Chi Xia turned his head suspiciously, only to find that Chi Wan was staring at him with a smile. She suddenly reacted, the other party used to be a person who often went in and out of the palace, and explained a little uncomfortably, "The customs and conditions of each country are different, and I have to explain some things to you in advance." ”

Chi Wan glanced at her, and her tone was slightly cold, "It's better to let me know in advance next time." ”

"Got it." Chi Xia regretted a little that he was led away by Chi Wan like this.

How was Chi Wan and Xie Yutang beautiful before? Now it's just two rats hiding in Tibet, and they have to rely on her to shelter, why should they be afraid of her?

Thinking like this, Chi Xia straightened his waist again, raised his chin and said, "I have prepared clothes for you, you can go and change them first." ”

After Ji Wan changed into clothes, she frowned, this dress was inevitably too close-fitting.

Just proposed to change it, but was urged by Chi Xia, "It's too late, let's hurry up." ”

In desperation, Chi Wan had no choice but to go out in this dress, and as soon as she came out, Chi Xia's eyes lit up instantly after seeing her.

"I knew this dress would fit you perfectly." It is said that people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold. Chi Wan's dress is more dazzling than usual, I'm afraid few men will not be moved when they see it.

Chi Wan felt something weird, but she couldn't say it, "Can't you really change your clothes?" ”

"How can I have time to change my clothes now?" Chi Xia had to complain in his heart that Chi Wan was good at everything, but she couldn't let go.

On the way to the palace, Chi Xia and Chi Wan explained in detail some of the monarch's preferences on weekdays.

After listening to this, Chi Wan couldn't help but admire him in her heart, it was not a simple matter to be able to master the king's hobby in such a short time.

After entering the palace, the monarch still had political affairs to deal with, and the eunuch led them to the side hall to rest.

Chi Xia's maid stuffed a silver ingot into the little eunuch who led the way, "Father-in-law, this early in the morning, I don't know which adult the monarch is seeing?" ”

"The Prime Minister and the King of the Ministry of Rites are here." The little eunuch weighed the silver in his hand and replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Chi Xia couldn't help frowning, "These two adults are here, I'm afraid there is something important to discuss with my father, or I'd better go back first, so as not to disturb my father." ”

The little eunuch shook off the dust with a smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Concubine An wants to go to Prince An's fiefdom to retire for the rest of her life, and the monarch is worried about this matter." ”

As for why he is worried, the reason is very simple, Prince An is the half-brother of the monarch, when the monarch was still the prince, the two of them were also strong contenders for the throne, and later, although Prince An was defeated, the fief was the richest.

Prince An was a filial son, so the monarch detained his mother Concubine An as a hostage in the palace, and Concubine An proposed to go to her son's fiefdom to retire on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Most of the concubines went to the fiefdom with their sons, so the monarch had no reason to stay with the concubines.
