Chapter 165: Competition
Shen Xianhe just wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but before she spoke, Miss Li, the girl of Prime Minister Li's family, spoke before her.
"Yes, yes, although there was some misunderstanding before, but don't take it to heart when you say it, it's boring for you to sit here alone, let's go over and play together."
Hearing her words, Shen Xianhe thought about it, too, anyway, she can't leave now, and she can't know what happened to the No. 1 investigation until the flower party is over, instead of sitting here bored, it is better to follow this group of noble girls to have fun and pass the time, or by the way, you can also find out Gu Rongrong's role among them, so as to find the opportunity to fight back against her.
He nodded at them.
"It's hard to be gracious, then I'll be respectful and obey my fate."
Follow them to the lotus pond, which is spacious and has a large open space, but the only place where she feels a little uncomfortable is the garden where the men on the other side can be seen faintly through the lotus pond.
Even as soon as she came here, she clearly felt that there was a gaze on the other side that was staring at her unscrupulously, and it also exuded a signal that made her feel dangerous.
But when she turned her head to look for that look, she couldn't see anything, only a faintly swaying human head, and couldn't tell who was spying on her.
Just when she lost her mind, Gu Rongrong, who had already divided the team, walked up to her and spoke.
"Miss Shen, what's wrong with you? How absent-minded, the team has been divided, you and we are in a group. ”
Shen Xianhe suppressed this feeling that something was wrong, looked up at Gu Rongrong, and smiled at her.
"Nothing, okay."
After playing like this for a while, Shen Xianhe didn't have the heart to do it at all, and was still thinking about the eyes staring at her just now, but despite this, when she came on the field, she threw it casually and threw it into the pot, and she threw five arrows per person, and she threw them all, not to mention the people next to her, even she herself was surprised.
The nobles of the team with her were all happy, jumping and jumping around her, and they kept praising her, and the other team was led by Miss Li, the daughter of Prime Minister Li, who was about to wake up, because Shen Xianhe's sudden reversal took the victory from them.
Miss Li looked at the compliments of everyone around Shen Xianhe, and instantly became unhappy, the reason why she helped Gu Rongrong invite Shen Xianhe to participate in this game before was that she was selfish, that is, she had feelings for the emperor between men and women, and more importantly, the Li family trained her according to the queen's standards.
Therefore, in her heart, she has long regarded herself as the emperor's person, and when she went to greet the emperor at the gate before, she listened to the conversation between Shen Xianhe and the emperor word for word, and unlike others who understand, she felt that the emperor was hinting that even if Shen Xianhe was not her cousin, his feelings for her were still the same as before, and Shen Xianhe was still very important in his heart.
So at that time, she was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth, and later said that she helped Gu Rongrong invite Shen Xianhe just to show that she was stronger than Shen Xianhe, because the venue for the competition was proposed by her.
Now that the emperor is on the opposite side of the lotus pond, losing to Shen Xianhe, how can she be willing.
So he held back the unwillingness in his heart and said to Shen Xianhe.
"I didn't expect Miss Shen's skills to be so superb, I am more competitive, I feel a little unwilling to lose, I want to invite Miss Shen to compete with me alone, I don't know what Miss Shen thinks?"
Although Miss Li hid it well, Shen Xianhe still felt inexplicable hostility in her, and after hearing her say this again, he remembered the look in his eyes before, and wondered if that look was related to Miss Li in front of her? Originally, she was disdainful of this kind of vindictiveness between her little daughters, but in order to test the doubts in her heart, she agreed.
"It's not a good skill, it's just because of good luck, but since Miss Li has said so, then I have to give it a try and see if I can have the same luck as before?"
"Miss Shen is too modest, thank you for agreeing to my request."
Because of Miss Li's sudden war letter, the surrounding nobles quickly divided into two gangs, and then cheered for the people they supported, but after the subordinates rearranged the previous venue, Miss Li suddenly spoke.
"Miss Shen, since we want to compare, then let's increase the difficulty, how about swapping positions? It is to put the pot on the edge of the lotus pond, and people also stand on the edge of the lotus pond to vote, which is more difficult, and it is exciting to compare, isn't it? ”
If Miss Li still had some hidden thoughts before, but now she has clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with herself.
She is not a timid person, if someone wants to target her, then she naturally has to "repay the favor" and "exchange courtesies".
"I can do it, since Miss Li wants to play a little more exciting, I naturally can't let you spoil your fun, just compare it according to the rules you said."
No matter how stupid the people around them were, at this time, they all began to react wrongly, but everyone didn't want to get involved, and they all pretended to be crazy and stupid.
Only Gu Rongrong, who was standing in front of the crowd, quickly flashed an imperceptible sinister smile on her face, and then quickly disappeared, revealing a worried look, but she couldn't help but be ecstatic in her heart.
Because the plan prepared by Mrs. Huai'an Hou is to create an accident, the protagonist of this accident is naturally Shen Xianhe, who is a thorn in their eyes, and Mrs. Huai'an Hou has long been taking care of the lotus pond for the sake of making people get a lot of silt at the bottom of the lotus pond, as long as people fall in it, it is difficult to climb up.
In this way, she will be drowned in the lotus pond, even if she is not drowned, she will be seriously injured, and the task that Mrs. Huai'an Hou told Gu Rongrong is to let her create an accident to push Shen Xianhe into the lotus pond, and then she will deal with the rest of the matter.
Therefore, when Miss Li proposed to play a game by the lotus pond, Gu Rongrong didn't even hesitate, and directly agreed, and now, Miss Li deliberately targeted Shen Xianhe and leaned towards the lotus pond, without her trying to find a way, how could she be unhappy.
Although I don't know the reason why Miss Li targeted Shen Xianhe, as long as she is dealing with Shen Xianhe, she is her friend, although she is not used to this Miss Li on weekdays, but the enemy of the enemy is a friend, this is the eternal truth.
Therefore, she did not stop it, but sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, allowing them to kill each other, as long as she looked for a good opportunity to push Shen Xianhe into the lotus pond, everything would be fine.
The subordinates quickly rearranged the venue, Shen Xianhe and Miss Li were also ready, and the men on the opposite side were all attracted to the lotus pond by the formation on their side, and watched the game between them through the lotus pond.
When she was preparing, Shen Xianhe saw that Miss Li's eyes kept looking at the lotus pond, and she quickly followed her gaze with suspicion, only to find that the person she was looking at was Chu Xi, and after seeing Chu Xi, her face was dyed with some unnatural flushes, seeing her like this.
Shen Xianhe finally understood why this Miss Li suddenly targeted her so much, the reason turned out to be Chu Xi, but he didn't expect Chu Xi to like girls so much, he liked him so much that he could be angry for him, and he didn't even care about the usual upbringing.
She sneered in her heart, and looked at Miss Li and said lightly.
"Miss Li, you or me first."
"You won before, so let me go first, after all, your strength is obvious to everyone, so it can be fair."
Shen Xianhe looked at her with a sarcastic smile and said generously.
"It doesn't matter who comes first, anyway, the final outcome is not decided by whoever comes first."
"Miss Shen is so confident, then I have to do my best."
Shen Xianhe didn't answer her, he smiled faintly, but the sarcasm in his eyes was not hidden.
By now, the battle between them could no longer be concealed, and it had been turned to the surface, and the two did not hide the tension between them, bringing the smoke of gunpowder between them to the surface.
Miss Li started first, still five arrows per person, I saw her condense, standing by the lotus pond, throwing the arrow in her hand forward, her body swaying, as if she was using some force, she would fall into the lotus pond, but unfortunately, despite her best efforts, she could only throw four arrows.
