Siqing looked at Shangguan Qiang'er, who was drawing a bow and aiming at her, her palms were full of sweat, and she silently prayed for herself in her heart.

Yun Wan on the side looked at Ling Ling calmly, her eyes were glowing with a bloodthirsty cold light, and the scene of Yun Chu covering the shoulders of the lost arm and running back to the Ning Xue Palace covered in blood came to her mind, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of doing it at the moment, she really wanted to kill Ling Ling immediately and avenge her sister!

Shangguan Qiang'er pulled the bow hard, and the arrow aimed at the apple on Siqing's head, and as soon as her hand was released, the arrow from the string shot quickly towards the apple.

When everyone felt that Ling Ling was bound to lose, Ling Ling flipped his hands, only to see that Shangguan Qiang'er's arrow was bounced off by something just before it was about to touch the apple, and it instantly turned around and fell straight to the ground.

At the end of the competition, the apple on Siqing's head was intact, and when she looked at Yunwan on the side, the apple on her head fell to the ground at this moment. A broken arrow is stuck in the center.

Another arrow was falling next to the arrow that Shangguan Qiang'er had shot.

Some of the officials and visitors around gasped, no one expected this to be the result!

Bai Feiye lowered his eyes and drank, a faint smile appeared on his carefully crafted lips, and he only heard the Qingliu hammer hand sigh behind him,

"Use arrows as throwing knives! Only Miss Ling wants to get it! ”

Qingfeng stretched out his hand and patted Qingliu's back hard, Qingliu looked at Qingfeng complainingly, Qingfeng leaned into his ear,

"Are you afraid that others won't know the relationship between the prince and Miss Ling?"

Qingliu reacted at once. immediately pretended to be casual, with a cold face, and stood behind Bai Feiye seriously and continued to watch the play.

"I don't count this competition!"

Seeing that her apple was intact, Shangguan Qiang'er was instantly annoyed, she never thought that Ling Ling would win in this way, and the thought that she was about to accept the punishment she set for herself made her heart even more crazy.

Ling Ling smiled faintly and asked in a raised voice, "Dare to ask Niangniang, why don't you count?" ”

A wave of anger rose in Shangguan Qiang'er's heart, she glared at Ling Ling, and said coldly,

"You're cheating."

As soon as she spoke, several officials stood up to help her speak.

"That's right! Lord Ling, you are cheating, we are using bows and arrows in the competition. How can there be a reason to use only arrows? ”

"That's it! You have shot the apple with an arrow, which is unjust, and the result cannot be counted. ”

"I also think that this competition is not counted."

……

Ling Ling's gaze swept over those people one by one, and chuckled,

"Why did I cheat? Do you remember what I said about the competition? ”

With a smile on her face, she walked leisurely towards Bai Yixiu, raised her hand and saluted, "The emperor testified, did the minister say at the time, whoever shoots the apple first will win?" ”

Bai Yixiu nodded, "That's true." ”

Ling Ling turned to everyone again, "I believe everyone should have heard this when I said this, I just said who shot the apple first, and didn't say who pulled the bow and shot the arrow first to shoot the apple, so this competition should be based on their own ability, and the one with the best skills wins, how can it be said that I cheated?" ”

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to look at Shangguan Qiang'er, with a smile on her delicate little face, "Are you right?" Concubine Qiang. ”

Shangguan Qiang'er couldn't wait to tear the face that looked like Xiahou Ling at this time, she clenched her hands, and squeezed out a smile on her face with exquisite makeup,

"It's the palace that lost, the Lord of Ling City is smart and witty, and the skills of the palace are not as good as others."

Ling Ling raised his eyebrows, "Thank you for agreeing." ”

Shangguan Qiang'er, who felt that she had lost face, didn't want to stay on the field anymore, she waved her sleeves lightly and walked to her seat casually.

"Concubine Qiang, please stay,"

Ling Ling stopped her, and Shangguan Qiang'er turned back a little impatiently, "I don't know what else is going on with City Lord Ling?" ”

"Do you remember the agreement before the competition?"

Ling Ling didn't give Shangguan Qiang'er a face-saving reminder at all, which surprised the people around them, they saw that Shangguan Qiang'er didn't mention it, the emperor didn't mention it, and they were tacitly ready to forget the previous punishment, but they didn't expect Ling Ling to mention it without fear, didn't this make it clear that he wanted to slap Shangguan Qiang'er in the face!

There was a sudden silence all around. seemed to be waiting for Shangguan Qiang'er to respond.

Shangguan Qiang'er, who was difficult to ride a tiger, pulled out a smile hard,

"This palace lost the competition, and I was a little disappointed for a while, and I forgot the agreement I made with the Lord of Ling City before, and I am willing to lose the bet, come to someone, and put pen and ink on it."

Huo Yun frowned, Ling Ling was naturally happy to win, but she was too emotional about Shangguan Qiang'er's ruthless approach, and it would definitely bring her more unnecessary trouble in the future, he really didn't agree with it in his heart.

Ling Ling naturally knew that she shouldn't be more serious, Shangguan Qiang'er was Bai Yixiu's concubine after all, no matter what, she wanted to give Bai Yixiu a face, she turned her eyes to see Bai Yixiu looking at her with a smile and a word, and then looked at Murong Xue, who was flushed and scratched her face from time to time, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

"It's just an entertainment competition, how can the minister be more serious with the mother?"

She said it lightly, as if she really didn't care.

Seeing that Ling Ling was suddenly so generous, if she went down the stairs she gave her at this moment, wouldn't it seem that she was really cautious and couldn't afford to lose?

"The rules are set by this palace, and if you lose, you lose, it's not a big deal."

Shangguan Qiang'er looked righteous and awe-inspiring, Ling Ling looked at her with a smile, and laughed in her heart, did she want her to be this wicked person to the end?

"The rules are dead, people are alive, and the rules set by people are naturally changeable, and the minister deeply admires the mind of the mother, but the minister feels that the mother is the body of a daughter, if the mother really accepts the punishment in person, it seems that the minister is the kind of narrow-minded villain. Since Niangniang insists on carrying out the punishment, it is better to let Niangniang's personal palace maid be punished instead of Niangniang, which confirms Niangniang's words. Second, it also makes the minister less embarrassed, what do you say? ”

Ling Ling's words reached Shangguan Qiang'er's heart, she naturally didn't want to be punished herself, but she was a dignified concubine, if she did such a thing as escaping, then she would become the laughing stock of those concubines in the harem in the future, and she would never allow such a thing!

After a moment of silence, she smiled with relief,

"Since City Lord Ling insists on this, then this palace will not embarrass City Lord Ling."

The pen and ink were already on it, Ling Ling raised her hand and picked up the ink-stained brush, looking at Siqing with a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth raised, and she said softly without smiling,

"Aunt Siqing, come here."

Si Qing walked up to Ling Ling with a twist, staring at Ling Ling with a pair of eyes that were both scared and resentful.

Ling Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that Shangguan Qiang'er couldn't trouble her for no reason, just because she was similar to Xiahou Ling, and it must be Siqing who contributed to it, the purpose of her going around such a big circle tonight was not only Murong Xue, but also the little palace maid in front of her who had not learned her lesson in Linglong Garden.

"Get on your knees."

Her voice was cold, as terrifying as that day in Linglong Garden.
