Chapter 65 Admit defeat or admit cowardice?
On the other end, Ling Ruiyin went back to the bedroom with the support of Aunt Chang, and she had been frowning on the way, Aunt Chang hurriedly asked with concern: "Today's competition of the ladies is very interesting, why are the ladies still depressed?" ”
Ling Ruiyin sighed, "It's a snow girl, what the mourning family is looking forward to the most is her performance, but I didn't expect that girl to hurt her hand, and she doesn't seem to be in a state all day today, and the mourning family feels upset when she looks at it." ”
After Ling Ruiyin said it, Aunt Chang also felt that Shi Qingxue was a little strange today, "It seems that since the county lord of Baoning proposed the archery competition, Liuniang has been in a trance." ”
"Oh? Have you noticed that too? Ling Ruiyin recalled the previous scene, and said: "When the mourning family asked her the reason for her injury, she didn't say, but she unconsciously moved her eyes to Baoning ......."
A trace of information flashed in Ling Ruiyin's mind, but the next moment she rejected it, "It shouldn't be, those two are sisters, and their relationship is good, so there shouldn't be conflicts." ”
Aunt Chang also chimed in: "Everyone sees Liuniang's kindness to the county lord of Baoning, and the county lord of Baoning is a person who knows how to be grateful, so they will definitely not have contradictions."
However, the injury on Liuniang's hand is not light, just now the imperial doctor came to report, saying that it was like being scratched by scissors, and if it was scratched a little deeper, it would hurt the muscles and bones. ”
Ling Ruiyin was stunned, "It's so serious?" ”
"Yes! Although I am now on medicine, it is impossible to heal in one day. Aunt Chang was also worried, and said in her heart that even if Ling Ruiyin gave Shi Qingxue one more day to think about it, the result would be no different.
Ling Ruiyin couldn't guess what Aunt Chang was thinking, and said with a wry smile: "Ah Chang! How can the mourning family not feel sorry for the snow girl, but you also saw the situation just now, if the mourning family really cancels the competition, then her reputation will be ruined in the future.
She is Shi Yunyang's granddaughter! Shi Yunyang was so injured that his arm was about to be scrapped, but he still carried a knife to the battlefield, and this mourner still admires it. Although the snow girl has been pampered since she was a child, the mourning family also hopes that she will lose even if she loses. ”
Shi Qingxue didn't know what Ling Ruiyin really thought in her heart, but she had been in a state of confusion since Shi Baoning proposed archery, and she couldn't believe that Shi Baoning would do that kind of thing.
If the injury on her hand last night was not 'accidentally' scratched by Shi Baoning, she might have only brought it up unintentionally by Bao Ning at that time, but at the moment she couldn't deceive herself.
But why?
Shi Baoning was willing to help outsiders humiliate his own sister!
"Liuniang, don't think about it, your hands will definitely be good. We don't have to compete in tomorrow's game, anyway, your archery skills are there, if any of them dare to laugh at you, when the injury on your hand is healed, let's go and slap her in the mouth again! Dongshuang looked at Shi Qingxue pitifully, for fear that Shi Qingxue wouldn't be able to turn around.
Shi Qingxue looked at her right hand and smiled bitterly, "How can it be so simple, when things get to this point, don't they just want to force me to admit defeat, or admit intimidation?" ”
Dongshuang's tears fell even more fiercely, "Woo, Liuniang, the slave is really not worth it for you, you are so good to the eldest lady, but she doesn't care about you at all, it's really worthless......"
This cry is so magical, as if the person being bullied is Dongshuang herself.
Rao is Shi Qingxue was bored and amused by this cry, reached out and pinched Dongshuang's chubby little face, and said with a smile: "Eh, the injured person seems to be me, right?" Why did you cry like a little flower cat? ”
Dongshuang didn't hide, and muttered pitifully: "The slave is sad for you, Liuniang, you don't feel sorry for the slave and the maid, forget it, and laugh at the slave and maid, it's too much!" ”
"Okay, I don't laugh at you, I feel sorry for you, okay!" Shi Qingxue comforted her perfunctorily and called Xia Mang to take people down to freshen up.
Dongshuang still refused to leave, pulling Qingxue's sleeve and whispering: "Liuniang, if you lose, you will lose!" Let's not joke about our bodies, you don't really shoot arrows every day! ”
Shi Qingxue was helpless, glanced at Dongshuang, met the other party's insistent gaze, and had to agree: "Okay, I must not hurt my right hand, okay?" ”
Dongshuang thought about it and felt that she had received Shi Qingxue's assurance, so she left contentedly.
However, the next day, when Ling Ruiyin asked Shi Qingxue's wishes again, Shi Qingxue replied like this.
"Niang Niang often said that no matter what the competition, as long as you participate. Therefore, Qingxue does not want to win this competition, but only not to be a deserter. ”
Ling Ruiyin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being Shi Yunyang's granddaughter, and she really inherited his unyielding temperament!" Okay, then you can shoot arrows at will today, and don't hurt yourself too hard. ”
Shi Qingxue obediently agreed.
Qin Yanyan didn't expect that Shi Qingxue really had the courage to continue the competition, so he wasn't afraid of waste?
But this is a good thing, she moved to Ling Ruiyin, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, yesterday Er Yanyan mentioned our competition with His Royal Highness Si, he was in high spirits, and said that he couldn't let us little ladies please in front of you, and he also wanted to show you a look, but he was afraid of making you angry, so he was waiting outside, I don't know what Niangniang thought?" ”
Ling Ruiyin likes to be lively the most, so she naturally agreed: "The good grandson of the mourning family is also here, it just so happens that the mourning family has a good eye again today!" ”
As she spoke, Mo Junhao had already walked in first, and there were several princes behind her, and it seemed that the young people on the other side of the palace couldn't bear the loneliness and all came to join in the fun.
Ling Ruiyin took so many noble ladies of the family to travel with her this time, in addition to accompanying herself to relieve her boredom, she hoped to let these noble ladies get along with the princes more and see if she could pick out a few princesses.
The current situation is just what she wants, and she is naturally happy, and she also asked her subordinates to prepare a full set of archery tools, as if the young people also showed off on the spot.
Mo Junhao has been in high spirits recently, and he quickly grabbed the first opportunity to show, and his archery skills are also extremely accurate, except for one arrow that did not miss a little, and the others all hit the bull's-eye.
And several other princes also showed their skills and were appreciated by Ling Ruiyin.
Seeing that the atmosphere was pushed to the highest point, Qin Yanyan suddenly said: "Now that even His Highness has shown his skills, Qingxue, shouldn't you also show us your exquisite swordsmanship?" ”
Ling Ruiyin agreed to let the young people shoot arrows first just to give Shi Qingxue more time to prepare, and it was not good to delay it now, so he said: "Qingxue, you prepare!" ”
Shi Qingxue replied, "Okay." ”
"Sister Snow, is your hand hurt? It doesn't matter, have you seen an imperial doctor? As soon as Shi Qingxue took the longbow, Mo Junhao came up tightly.
His eyes were full of care, for fear that others would not know his thoughts about Shi Qingxue, and Qingxue would be disgusted.
But Shi Qingxue held back, and smiled gently at Mo Junhao, "Thank you for your concern, Qingxue is fine." ”
Mo Junhao still looked uneasy, and grabbed Shi Qingxue's hand strongly, "Let me see." If you really hurt too badly, don't shoot an arrow, in case the injury is more than bad. ”
This ambiguous move immediately attracted the attention of many people, and this was exactly what Mo Junhao wanted, he became more and more cold and warm, as if Shi Qingxue was a snowman in winter, holding it in his hand for fear of melting, and worried that the cold wind outside would blow people away, full of affection.
Shi Qingxue didn't know what Mo Junhao wanted to do, and she didn't care.
Just looking at the other party's hypocritical face, she felt more and more uncomfortable, and sneered: "Qingxue is fine, please stay away from Qingxue, after all, the long arrow has no eyes, and it will not be good if it hurts His Highness." ”
Qin Yanyan also hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Mo Junhao, and said in a coquettish voice: "Yes, Your Highness is noble, so don't get too close to these places." ”
Mo Junhao deftly avoided Qin Yanyan's hand and hid the disgust in his eyes, "It's okay, Sister Xue's hand is injured, if I can't accompany her, I will definitely not be relieved." It's Yanyan, you'd better stay away, if you hurt your face, you won't be able to draw it! ”
Qin Yanyan covered her face with a winch, for fear that Qing Xue would really shoot a sharp arrow into her face in the next second.
Shi Qingxue didn't look at these two people, you and me, and said coldly, "Okay, Qingxue is about to start archery, please stay away." ”
After being rejected several times, Rao is Mo Junhao was also a little angry, but when he caught a glimpse of Mo Junyang, who had been standing far away from him, he was looking at this side with cold eyes, and he suddenly smiled with satisfaction.
smiled gently: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you to shoot arrows, I'll wait for you next to the arrow target to watch you shoot arrows, okay?" ”
Shi Qingxue said in her heart: You give me where to stay cool, don't show up in front of me.
can catch a glimpse of Mo Junhao's sticky expression, she suddenly didn't want the other party to be so happy, since she dared to provoke her, she had to have the consciousness of being rectified by her!
She smiled brightly at Mo Junhao, and made people laugh so much that she said softly: "Since this is the case, then it is troublesome...... Your Highness is waiting for me over there. ”
Even if it's a play, she can't call that person 'Brother Hao' anymore.
Mo Junhao naturally didn't have anything to do, and walked quickly to the target and waved his hand at her, but calmly took Shi Qingxue's longbow and taught her in a low but serious voice: "Qingxue, don't you want your hand?" If you force the bow to be drawn again, then you really won't want to shoot arrows with your hands again! ”
"Miss Leng is right, Liuniang, didn't you promise the slave maid not to shoot arrows yesterday? Let's admit defeat or not, let's not do such dangerous things. "Winter Frost is crying and crying again.
And Qin Yanyan, who had already been red-eyed with jealousy by Mo Junhao's actions, also said mockingly: "It's better for some people not to be blind, even if you really shoot ten arrows, you still have to lose to me, why bother!" ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Qingxue's right index finger wrapped in gauze again, pretending to be surprised, "Oops! How did the imperial doctor wrap your hands into zongzi? That's a problem, how do you draw the bow? Would you like to help you uncover the gauze? ”
Qin Yanyan wished that Shi Qingxue's hand was useless, so he pretended to be kind and stepped forward, but Shi Qingxue didn't buy her account, turned sideways to avoid her hand, and said lightly: "No need." ”
"Oh? Then I'd like to see how you draw your bow with your hands wrapped around like this?! Qin Yanyan stepped aside, looking like he was watching a good show.
Shi Qingxue took back the longbow from his calm hand without changing his face, and suddenly chuckled: "Who told you that I can only use my injured finger to pull the bow?" ”
