Chapter 43: The Competition
Miss Liu sat next to Tonghui and asked in surprise: "Qingping, your sister is so good at throwing pots, I don't look inferior to the Hou Shizi of Pingyang." ”
Zhao Heng, the prince of Pingyang, and Cheng Huai, the prince of Wei, can be said to be the best among the children of the entire Jingshi family.
Tonghui didn't know that Tong Yan was so accurate, but she didn't want Miss Liu to see that she didn't know, so it would inevitably seem that she didn't have a high status in the Yongwang Mansion and didn't know anything.
She smiled and nodded: "Tong Yan is very good at these things with Daddy." ”
Tong Yan had already returned to her seat with Shi Shiran, and pulled her arm happily, "You are so amazing, you can even pierce your ears." After saying that, she then stood up and raised her chin and said to Princess Anle, "How is it, the princess is still satisfied?" ”
I saw that Princess An Le couldn't slow down, and her two eyes were like copper bells, and she looked at Tong Yan in shock, as if she was looking at some monster.
Tong Yan felt that this An Le was like this, a little like the neighbor's cat in the past, and her big round eyes were inexplicably cute, and she couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Yao felt a fire in her heart, and looked at Princess An Le next to her without smiling, but found that this An Le was staring at her in a daze. Her chest rose and fell a few times, forced the anger down, touched Princess Anle's arm, and said softly with a smile: "Princess, this Zhaoyang County Lord is worthy of being the daughter of King Yong, and she is really a good start for everyone." ”
Princess An Le came back to her senses at this time, and when she saw Tong Yan pursing her lips and laughing, she thought she was laughing at herself, and she suddenly became angry and blushed.
It's just that there are a lot of people, and she can't be angry on the spot, so as not to provoke people, so she has to suppress this tone for the time being, and then settle accounts with Xu Mingyi and Zhaoyang when she has the opportunity in the future.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "My cousin is really amazing." ”
This tone was reluctant, and the women looked at each other, and they didn't know whether Princess Anle was complimenting or sarcastic.
Shuning smiled and said to An Le: "Originally, this pitcher should be compared in pairs, my sister is anxious, I didn't forget the rules, but let Zhaoyang finish it alone." ”
These words made An Le's heart empty, it was indeed that she was too anxious, she just wanted Zhaoyang to come up and lose face and overwhelm Xu Mingyi, but she forgot about this stubble.
Jiang Yao smiled and relieved An Le: "It's all because I didn't explain the rules clearly, but I misunderstood the county lord of Zhaoyang, thinking that it was to show his skills, so he threw this arrow into it in one go." ”
These words suddenly took Princess An Le out, from An Le's eagerness to make Zhaoyang make a fool of himself, to Zhaoyang's eagerness to show off his pot-throwing skills.
Tong Yan frowned invisibly, not knowing whether this Miss Jiang was intentional or unintentional.
Xu Mingyi frowned, and just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Miss Liang, who had always been sitting quietly on the side, smiled faintly, looked at Jiang Yao and said: "Where is it Miss Jiang's, it's obvious that I, the host, didn't make the rules clear." ”
Jiang Yao realized that her words were inappropriate, and her face was embarrassed.
Xu Mingyi felt that it was very happy at the moment, but he didn't expect that this talented woman with a high level of chivalry was also a little chivalrous, and it was much more pleasing to the eye when she looked at Liang Yunfu.
After all, with so many noble ladies present, it was not good to make the atmosphere too stiff, Tong Yan said with a smile: "Pitching the pot is just a game, but if you want to have fun, I just got lucky." She looked at Miss Jiang San and said slowly: "Why don't you come and play with Miss Jiang, it just so happens that I didn't have an opponent just now, how about it?" ”
Jiang Yao didn't expect the county lord of Zhaoyang to say this, her smile suddenly stiffened, and she shirked: "If it's a game, how can one vote is finished, and the other person votes again, so it's unfair." ”
Although she throws pots well, if she is in good condition, she can hit five or six of the eight, but compared to Zhaoyang, it is a small thing.
"It's okay." Tong Yan smiled indifferently, "I can vote with you." With that, she got up from her seat again and made a gesture to go to the middle of the field, matching Jiang Yao with her.
Jiang Yao was a little flustered, her name as the number one beauty in Beijing, because of the arrival of Zhaoyang, was about to die, and if she was on a par with Zhaoyang with a pitcher, wouldn't she be directly shorter than Zhaoyang?
Princess An Le was happy, and pushed her directly: "Go quickly, aren't you also very good at throwing pots?" I don't believe that this Zhaoyang can really hit every shot, you are about to win her, help me breathe! ”
Jiang Yao really wants to scold An Le for being a fool! Isn't it obvious how much of a chance she has to win? Nine times out of ten, you will lose!
"It's just for fun, Jiang Yao, you shouldn't be afraid, right?" Xu Mingyi added another fire and said provocatively.
The women whispered.
Jiang Yao gritted her teeth and said with a forced smile: "Since the nature of the county lord is high, then I will play with the county lord and have fun, but I don't have such a quasi-head as the county lord, and I ask the county lord not to laugh at me." ”
Frankly and openly said ugly things in front, if she lost, there would be no shame.
"How so?" Tong Yan looked at her funny, "What's the joke here, Miss Jiang can't help but think too seriously about her grades, it's just entertainment, Miss Jiang, relax." ”
Xu Mingyi almost didn't laugh out loud, and Shuning also pursed her lips and smiled.
Tong Yan's words suddenly made Miss Jiang a narrow-minded person, and I am afraid that Jiang Yao will die in her heart.
Isn't that exact? The only smile on Jiang Yao's face couldn't be broken, and he said in a stiff tone: "I didn't mean that, I didn't have such an accurate head as the county lord, I was just afraid of disappointing the county lord, and the county lord thought too much." ”
Tong Yan smiled and nodded, but the smile was a little indifferent, as if she already knew what Jiang Yao was thinking and didn't care about her prevarication.
Jiang Yao was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.
Tong Yan took the arrow, walked to the throwing position, looked at Jiang Yao, who was still standing in place, raised her eyebrows and said, "Is Miss Jiang first, or am I first?" ”
Jiang Yao walked over, grabbed the wooden arrow from the maid's hand, and said with a smile: "The county lord throws the pot so well, let me go first." ”
Tong Yan nodded, made a gesture of please, and said lightly: "It's better to have two for one round, eight for one person, how about it?" ”
"Then according to the county lord." Jiang Yao simply responded.
If the two are at the same level, it is natural that the person who votes first has a little advantage, and whoever hits first, naturally there will be invisible pressure in the heart of the person behind.
Tong Yan already has a strong concentration ability, not to mention that she is almost 100 hits, and Jiang Yao is not at the same level, so it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes last.
As for why Tong Yan asked for two teams for one round, it was purely to make Jiang Yao panic.
She had already thought of a fun way in her mind.
If she told Mingyi now, she would be very excited. Thinking of this, Tong Yan couldn't help but laugh secretly.
