After learning that the emperor was the referee of this running water pot competition, the sons and ladies of each family were eager to try, wanting to get a different look at him.

After everything was ready, the group came to a pond under the leadership of Ruan Haoxuan.

Because Xie Jinlan didn't want to be in the limelight, without clearly mentioning who came up with this entertainment project, everyone thought it was Ruan Haoxuan's idea.

This kind of pitching is unprecedented, no one wants to be the first person, in case the results are too poor, wouldn't it be a shame?

Ruan Haoxuan didn't care about this, so he took the lead.

The Ruan family is all martial, and although it is difficult to throw a pot with running water, after throwing it three times, Ruan Haoxuan slowly found his touch. In the next three times, the embroidery thread attached to the suffix of the embroidery needle hangs on the spout. The last four times, the needles fall into the spout.

Seeing that Ruan Haoxuan had only scored four points, the sons and ladies of the various families flinched a little.

They had already thought that this would not be an easy task, but they did not expect it to be so difficult. Even Ruan Haoxuan, who has superb pitching skills, only has four points, so how many points can they score?

Three points? Two points? Or a zero score?

It could even be lower than a zero score!

Seeing everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one stepped forward to compete, Qinghe Emperor laughed, looked at Ruan Haoxuan and said:

"Haoxuan, it seems that it is too difficult for you to throw the kettle. Lo and behold, no one dared to give it a try. ”

Ruan Haoxuan said: "As the saying goes, 'there must be a brave man under the heavy reward', why don't you add a lottery to the emperor's uncle?" ”

Emperor Qinghe teased: "You kid, have you been calculating my treasury for a long time? ”

Ruan Haoxuan said: "Uncle Emperor, you have wronged me." If I take a fancy to the treasure in your storeroom, can I just ask you for it? Why bother? ”

Emperor Qinghe bowed his head slightly, and said gently: "If you are so cheeky, that is, you can say that you are so reasonable." ”

After sweeping his gaze over the crowd, he continued:

"In this way, I will add a lot of color. In this competition, men and women each recorded a first place. In the end, the leader will be decided from among the two. The first names of both men and women were rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. The Leader may make one more request to me. ”

As soon as these words came out, the young ladies present were all ready to move, looking at the expressions of others without a trace, but they did not dare to be the first person after the emperor spoke.

Or Xia Yue, the second son of Wu'an Hou, walked out and was willing to give it a try.

Xia Yue was in strong shape, and his martial arts were better than Ruan Haoxuan, but he only scored three points in the end.

It seems that brute force alone will not work.

Next up was Yan Jiange, the youngest grandson of Guozi's priest wine, who seemed to have seen something from the pitching pots of Ruan Haoxuan and Xia Yue, and finally got the highest score at present, six points!

With these two people taking the lead, others also stepped forward to compete.

After registering the color of the embroidery thread at the place where they received the embroidery needle on the side, everyone began to throw pots in twos and threes within the specified range.

Seeing that the pitching pot was about to end, Xie Jinlan walked to Chen Qing's side and said in a low voice: "Ziyu, why don't you give it a try?" ”

Chen Qing shook his head and smiled: "Chen Qing is a weak scholar, and he has never played pitching pots, so he knows that he doesn't have any chance of winning, so why bother to try?" ”

After a pause, he asked rhetorically, "Why don't you give it a try?" ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Except for the three people who led the way with Haoxuan Xia Yue and Jian Ge, most of the rest of the participants were for the sake of performing in front of the saint, or for the promise of the saint. I don't ask for neither, so why try? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and stood quietly watching everyone compete.

It's just that the two don't want to compete, but they can't bear to be noticed by someone.

Emperor Qinghe glanced at Xie Jinlan and the others not far away, and whispered to Ruan Yezhen beside him:

"I've also heard of the name of Xie Jinlan's leader, so I'm curious about what kind of results he will achieve if he participates in this pot throwing competition?"

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, her eyes couldn't help but fall on Xie Jinlan's body.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if Xie Jinlan felt something, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to collide with her gaze.

Xie Jinlan smiled slightly.

Ruan Yezhen looked away as if she had been caught peeping, and looked away quite weakly.

Xie Jinlan was stunned at first, then shook his head with a smile, retracted his gaze and continued to watch the competition of everyone, occasionally talking to Chen Qing for a few words.

The interaction of this young couple, Emperor Qinghe had a full view, and he was quite pleased in his heart: he was worthy of Master Huiyuan, and the two were really as he said, it was a match made in heaven.

Retracting his thoughts, seeing Ruan Yezhen with a sweet smile on his face, Emperor Qinghe couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhen'er hasn't answered the emperor's uncle's question yet." ”

Ruan Yezhen blinked, her mind turned before she remembered what Fang Cai's question was, and said coquettishly: "Uncle Emperor, it's obvious that you are curious, why did you push it on Zhen'er?" ”

Emperor Qinghe raised his eyebrows, and did not deny it: "Then Zhen'er is willing to satisfy my curiosity?" ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "The emperor's uncle is the Son of Heaven, if you are curious, just ask him to come forward and have a try, and ask Zhen'er what to do?" ”

Emperor Qinghe quipped: "If you don't ask for Zhen'er's consent, I'm afraid that Zhen'er will complain about me in my heart." ”

Ruan Yezhen puffed out her mouth, snorted arrogantly, and said, "If the emperor's uncle makes fun of Zhen'er again, Zhen'er will really be angry." ”

Emperor Qinghe coaxed: "Don't be angry, I won't talk about this." ”

Ruan Yezhen smiled at this time: "If the emperor's uncle wants to know what kind of achievements the Xiang Guild has achieved, Zhen'er will go and mention it to him." If the emperor's uncle spoke, it would be too eye-catching. ”

Emperor Qinghe smiled and let her pass, but in his heart he was thinking:

As a son of heaven, he is the object of everyone's attention. After Zhen'er came back and forth, and then Xie Jinlan went on the field to compete, and many people present could guess what he meant. It's just that those who are not deeply involved in the world can't see through it.

Knowing the meaning of Emperor Qinghe from Ruan Yezhen's mouth, Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows and asked: "The saint is curious, is the lady curious?" ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "Whether I'm curious or not, you have to go up and have a try." So, I'm curious or not, does it matter? ”

Xie Jinlan smiled improperly and said, "Nature is important. If the lady is curious, I will naturally try my best to compete. ”

Ruan Yezhen's face was slightly red, she glanced at him with disgust, and said, "If I'm not curious, do you still want to perfunctory the emperor's uncle?" ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head lightly and said, "No, no." I'm going to take it seriously, but I'm not determined to win. ”

Ruan Yezhen's chin tilted slightly, and said, "In that case, then you can show me a leader." ”

Xie Jinlan pretended to be serious and arched his hand at her, and said, "Since it is the lady's order, Jinlan should obey her fate." ”
