Chapter 120: Dinner Competition
Si Qing looked fiercely at Ling Ling, who had not gone far, and immediately said,
"That person is the one who bullied the slave maid in Linglong Yuan before!"
Shangguan Qiang'er's expression turned cold, turned to look at the gradually smaller white figure, and asked Su Shen next to her, who had not yet entered the camp,
"Father-in-law Su, who is the woman in white who just went out from here?"
Su Shen raised his eyes to look in the direction of Ling Ling's departure, and said respectfully,
"Hui Niangniang, the one just now is the Ling City Lord of Mingyue City."
"Oh?"
She closed her eyes, as if nothing had happened, and walked into Bai Yixiu's tent with a smile on her face.
In the evening, it is the pre-hunting feast.
As the night deepens. Countless bonfires lit up the surroundings, led by Bai Yixiu, and everyone sat in a square in the open space next to the tent, and in the center of the square, several graceful dancers were dancing to the melodious sound of the piano.
Ling Ling sat with Huo Yun, she held her head in one hand, and held a silver carved wine glass in the other, which was brought to her mouth from time to time, her eyes casually swept over the people around who were drinking and talking, her eyes subconsciously glanced at Bai Feiye's seat, he was talking to Taifu Murong Zhi next to him and another official she couldn't name, only Qingfeng and Qingliu were behind him, and Mu Nishang was missing, she frowned slightly.
Realizing that this was not something she should worry about at the moment, in order to soothe the discomfort that was gradually rising in her heart, she raised her hand and drank the wine from the small wine glass.
"Ever since I saw the birthday gift that Xiao Ling prepared for me in Longyun Gate. It's a gorgeous song and dance like tonight, but in my father's heart, it's nothing more than that. ”
Huo Yun's voice interrupted Ling Ling's thoughts, she turned her eyes to see Huo Yun beside her, who was looking at her with a smile on his father's face at the moment, and the two mustaches on his lips added a bit of interest to his tough and handsome face.
She put away her thoughts, her little face was full of pride,
"What your daughter thinks is naturally unique in this world!"
"Hahaha......"
Listening to her answer so immodestly, Huo Yun suddenly burst out laughing,
"This is my Huo Yun's daughter, what the young master of Longyun Sect should look like."
He has something to say. Ling Ling also understood that he was trying to find a way to make himself happy, looking at the fatherly Huo Yun in front of him, for a moment, those uncomfortable emotions in his heart seemed to disappear, and the corners of his mouth naturally rose to open a good-looking arc.
"Thank you dad for the compliment!"
The bonfire shone on her slightly flushed cheeks, and her more and more delicate face was even more beautiful at this moment.
Bai Yi saw Ling Ling who was smiling and talking to Huo Yun not far away, he was slightly stunned, and a shallow smile froze on his lips.
Murong Xue followed Bai Yixiu's gaze, the fingers in her wide sleeves instantly clenched, wanting to draw his attention back, she smiled and said to Bai Yixiu,
"Your Majesty, it's rare to be so happy tonight, why don't you do something entertaining to help the fun?"
Bai Yixiu's eyes were faint, and the smile on his lips rose again, "Xue'er might as well talk about it." ”
"Hunting is going to start tomorrow, why don't you warm up tonight and learn from each other?"
She deliberately raised her voice, and the people around her were attracted by her words and gradually quieted down.
Bai Yixiu noticed everyone's curious gazes, and he was not discouraged, and continued to ask,
"How's that for a fight?"
"Ten apples are placed on a long table, in teams of two, and whoever shoots five or more apples first wins, and the winning side can ask the losing side to do one thing. I wonder what the emperor thinks? ”
Looking at the eager expressions of the people around him, Bai Yixiu raised his voice and asked, "What do you think?" ”
The son of an official family stood up from his seat, looked at Bai Yixiu excitedly with his eyes, raised his hand and saluted,
"Your Majesty! The minister thinks that Xue Guifei's proposal is very good! ”
"So is the minister!"
"The minister also thinks it's very interesting!"
……
The crowd chimed in. Bai Yixiu raised his hand,
"Okay, according to Xue Guifei's proposal, everyone will learn from each other, come here, and prepare apples."
Ling Ling casually held his head lazily, his eyes raised slightly, and his gaze swept over Bai Yixiu and Murong Xue.
Seeing Ling Ling looking at herself, a smile appeared on Murong Xuexue's white and moving face, that smile was noble and generous, quite a concubine's demeanor, Ling Ling raised her eyebrows, and gave her a bright smile in return, and when she noticed that Jinrong had quietly left behind her, her smile deepened.
Yun Wan walked out of Murong Xue's tent, because the wind was a little strong at night, Yun Wan took a coat for Murong Xue as instructed.
"This aunt!"
On the way back to the dinner venue. A small entourage with a dark complexion and a slender figure called Yun Wan.
Although there was a bonfire around her, the facial features of the little attendant under the moonlight were particularly blurred, and Yun Wan was a little impatient with the person who suddenly blocked her way, she frowned and shouted,
"What?"
The little attendant smiled vaguely, his voice a little low, he scratched his head, and said,
"It's like I've eaten a bad stomach tonight, I don't know where my aunt can ......"
Yun Wan pointed casually, "The row of tents on the very edge." With that, he prepared to leave.
The little attendant grabbed Yun Wan's hand gratefully, and hurriedly said thank you in his mouth.
Yun Wan withdrew his hand in some disgust, and the little attendant smiled awkwardly. Holding her stomach and running to the place she pointed, Yun Wan looked at his back with disdain and snorted coldly, holding Murong Xue's coat and rushing towards the dinner party.
At the end of the dinner, a group of ministers and children of official families were having fun on the field, and the people around them were also focused on the center of the field.
Shangguan Qiang'er looked coldly at Ling Ling, who was bored on the side, she had only heard that she was somewhat similar to Xiahou Ling, but she didn't expect that the two looked almost identical, three years ago, that Xiahou Ling made her embarrassed in the palace, and now a city lord of Mingyue City dared to slap her palace maid for Nangong Lingyu, and made it difficult for her father to step down in front of the ministers, since Liangzi has already been married, then she will take the opportunity to clean her up tonight!
"Your Majesty," Shangguan Qiang'er got up gracefully, "the concubines couldn't help but want to go up and give it a try when they saw them having so much fun." ”
Bai Yixiu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Concubine Qiang also wants to go to the competition? ”
"I heard that Concubine Qiang, the daughter of Prime Minister Shangguan, is good at riding and shooting, and the ministers also want to feast their eyes!" An official shouted.
As soon as she heard that the concubine was also going to participate in the archery competition, the people around her also echoed it.
Bai Yixiu smiled unabated, "Since Concubine Qiang has this Yaxing, then go and give it a try, remember not to hurt yourself." ”
Shangguan Qiang'er smiled coquettishly, "The concubine obeys the order." ”
She slowly stepped down from her position and came to Ling Ling's seat in full view of everyone. Ling Ling, who was playing with the wine glass, was stunned for a moment, and saw Shangguan Qiang'er in front of her looking at her with her eyes down, although there was a smile on her lips, her eyes were full of disgust.
"Some time ago, I heard that Longyunmen held a selection of young masters. The Ling City Lord stood out from among them, presumably because of his superb martial arts, I wonder if the Ling City Lord would like to compete with the main palace? ”
Ling Ling helplessly held her forehead, she got up and saluted Shangguan Qiang'er, and said with a sincere face,
"Thank you for lifting up. However, the minister does not know how to ride and shoot. ”
"City Lord Ling, with such a happy atmosphere, how can you sweep away Niangniang's Yaxing?"
As soon as Ling Ling's words came out, some officials immediately raised their dissatisfaction.
"Yes, Niangniang invited you to take a test, that is to look up to you, Ling City Lord is so prevaricating, do you not want to give Niangniang face?"
"Or is it that the Ling City Lord can't afford to lose, and I don't want everyone to laugh at the dignified Young Master of the Dragon Cloud Sect who can't even ride and shoot!"
The ministers on the side of the same official wind in the court took the opportunity to fall into the trap against Ling Ling.
