Chapter 231: Pitching the pot
Shi Jinxiu was not familiar with the Eighth Princess, so she looked at the Third Princesses and Cai Xiang'er.
The Third Princesses and Cai Xiang'er didn't expect the Eighth Princesses to come over, and the two of them are also you look at me, I'll look at you.
"That...... We are not very good at playing...... "The third princess said to the eighth princess, "A few of us together are just a number." ”
"I also want to make up a ......number," the eighth princess looked back at the other princesses with a look of embarrassment, "...... They don't really want to take me ......."
Shi Jinxiu followed her eyes.
I saw that the other princesses and concubines were standing with those noble ladies with fragrant clothes and sideburns, talking and laughing with each other, and looking at them with contempt from time to time.
Shi Jinxiu sighed in his heart.
She is not unheard of about this Eighth Princess: it is said that the Eighth Emperor Concubine was not the person that the Eighth Emperor originally liked, so the Eighth Emperor did not treat the Eighth Emperor Concubine well after marriage, but only gave her some of the most basic decency as a royal concubine.
As the saying goes, husband and wife are also bullied if they don't get along with their neighbors.
Therefore, the other princesses didn't look down on the Eighth Princess, and even treated her a little contemptively.
"In that case, then the four of us will form a team, it's just the reward of the imperial concubine, I'm afraid we can't count on it." Shi Jinxiu eased the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere and said jokingly.
"It's okay, isn't there another sentence called the emphasis on participation?" The Eighth Imperial Concubine smiled kindly at Shi Jinxiu.
The third princess and Cai Xiang'er had no objections, so the four of them formed a team like this.
"Which one shall we play first?" There are juju, pot throwing, archery and other events on the field, and each event is bustling with people, so Cai Xianger is a little undecided.
"It's the same with every play." The third princess looked around with her feet worried, "There are too many people over there in the pitcher, why don't we go and shoot arrows!" ”
I don't have any ideas about these Shi Jinxiu, and the Eighth Emperor Concubine also follows the trend.
Just as the four of them were about to go to shoot arrows, they heard a burst of exclamations from the other side of the pitcher, which made them stop.
"Let's go see the fun." Cai Xiang'er dragged Shi Jinxiu's hand and drilled into the crowd without saying anything.
In the center of the crowd stood a heroic woman in a red shirt, only to see her holding an arrow in each hand, throwing it towards the copper kettle a zhang away, and then she heard two "jingling" sounds, and the two arrows fell into the copper kettle, and the surrounding crowd also exclaimed again.
It's a beautiful skill!
Shi Jinxiu looked at it and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But when the woman turned her head and let Shi Jinxiu see her appearance, Shi Jinxiu was even more stunned.
It's Shi Linglong!
Cai Xiang'er also recognized her, so she couldn't help but pull Shi Jinxiu's clothes and said excitedly: "Isn't that your third cousin?" I didn't think that your Shi family still had such a powerful person as a pot thrower! ”
Shi Jinxiu laughed a little wryly when she heard this.
I'm afraid no one has ever counted Shi Linglong as a member of the Shi family!
After all, she is the daughter of the eldest princess and the nephew of Emperor Qingde.
Cai Xiang'er's voice was not small, and Shi Linglong naturally heard it clearly.
She stopped what she was doing and looked at Shi Jinxiu with her head slightly raised, her eyes full of indifference.
Obviously, she didn't like Cai Xiang'er's rhetoric just now.
Seeing that Shi Linglong, who had always been imposing, suddenly stopped throwing the pot and looked at someone, everyone who didn't know why followed her.
For a while, everyone's eyes were on Shi Jinxiu and Cai Xiang'er, which made Shi Jinxiu a little restrained, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
When Shi Linglong saw it, a chuckle appeared on her lips: "Who am I, it turns out to be the fifth girl of the Shi family!" Would you like to play two games with me? ”
As she spoke, she danced at Shi Jinxiu and danced the feather arrow in her hand.
Since Shi Jinxiu got married, few people have been called "the five girls of the Shi family" anymore, and Shi Linglong said this, which means that she wants to get rid of it.
Growing up in the Changxing Marquis Mansion, she naturally knew that although her second uncle Shiya was still the eldest princess, the eldest princess did not like the Shi family, and she was unwilling to have too much contact with the Shi family.
Even with her, her children are not very close to the Shi family, especially Shi Linglong, who always looks high in front of the Shi family, as if they are people from two worlds.
In this regard, Mrs. Shi has always had a lot of complaints in her heart.
It's a pity that the other party is a royal person, and it is impossible for her to put her mother-in-law's score in front of the eldest princess, so she can only endure it.
Mrs. Shi is still like this, let alone those who are juniors.
Therefore, Shi Jinxiu didn't want to have a relationship with Shi Linglong from the beginning, but looking at Shi Linglong's behavior, he was a little annoyed in his heart.
"Okay!" Shi Jinxiu stepped forward to take the feather arrow in Shi Linglong's hand.
Shi Linglong looked at Shi Jinxiu and raised her eyebrows, she didn't think that this Shi Jinxiu, who had no sense of existence in the Shi family on weekdays, would dare to respond to her battle.
Isn't Mo married to Yu Wenyan, and even his courage will become bigger?
"Best of three games! Let's take ten arrows in each game, and whoever throws the most will win. Shi Linglong said to Shi Jinxiu.
"Okay." Shi Jinxiu smiled and responded.
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were shocked, and they looked at Shi Jinxiu as if they were looking at a fool.
Just now, Shi Linglong threw almost ten shots, and at this time, he was either stupid or stupid!
Everyone gathered around as if they were watching a play.
I don't know who shouted: "Why don't we add some more colors!" Otherwise, it's so boring! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Someone should be along.
For a while, before the confrontation between Shi Jinxiu and Shi Linglong began, everyone laughed and made bets.
Seeing this scene, Shi Jinxiu suddenly felt that her brain had suddenly protruded, why did she forget about this stubble.
However, there will not be many people who want to vote for her, and Shi Jinxiu's heart suddenly relaxed again.
Because there weren't too many rules to speak of, after using a copper coin to determine the order of precedence, Shi Jinxiu threw the first arrow.
I don't know if it was because there were too many onlookers, the feather arrow she threw grazed the mouth of the copper kettle and flew out, but Shi Linglong threw the feather arrow into the copper kettle impartially, causing a large crowd of cheers.
Shi Jinxiu glanced back and found that except for the Eighth Imperial Princess, the Third Imperial Concubine and Cai Xiang'er were all gone.
When she was wondering in her heart, she heard the Eighth Princess whisper to her: "It's okay, let's withdraw some strength from the next arrow, and we won't throw it so far." ”
Shi Jinxiu threw a grateful look at the Eighth Imperial Princess, then silently took a deep breath, and after shooting again, he didn't think that the arrow didn't even reach the edge of the copper kettle, but fell straight in front of the copper kettle.
