Chapter 419 Bullying Her
Walking up to the crowd, Yan Siying bowed and said loudly, "They are busy in the paddock, asking for the deer leg promised by the emperor as a prize. Why don't we have some fun here, find a way to have fun, and ask for a prize?"
At this time, the Fifth Princess and others were talking to Su Yujin enthusiastically. When they heard Yan Siying's voice, they stopped talking and looked at each other.
The fifth princess spoke first, "I wonder what Concubine Yan thinks?"
"The weather is great today, and the scenery in the paddock is beautiful. How about we recite some poems?" Yan Siying said with a smile.
Recite poetry?
The fifth princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Yan Siying.
It was known before that although Yan Siying was touted by outsiders as the most talented woman in the capital, the most famous lady from a noble family, and a woman of both talent and beauty, after several previous palace banquets, the Fifth Princess knew that some rumors were not credible.
Especially now, Yan Siying is just average looking, and her brain...
I guess it’s all about origin.
This proposal was clearly intended to embarrass Su Yujin and Lu Wenjing, and it was made without any concealment.
But before the Fifth Princess could speak, the Seventh Princess pouted first, "At banquets in the palace, people usually either recite poems or write couplets, or they paint or play chess, or they compete in musical performances. There is really no meaning and it is very boring."
"Yes." Princess An Ning also nodded. "I've been learning these things at home all day long, and have been lectured by the teachers. I finally came to the enclosure to relax, and Concubine Yan suggested doing this?"
"Miss Yan suggested writing a poem. I think we should wait until they come back from hunting and then go have a hunt this afternoon to see who gets the most. How about we also ask the emperor for a prize?"
Lu Wenjing said this in a muffled voice, and even glanced at Yan Siying after she finished speaking.
It's great to be able to write poetry. If you have the ability, let's compete in horseback archery in the paddock. "Okay." Princess Kangle's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly. "Sister Lu, this is a good suggestion. Let's go for it?"
Princess Kangle's maternal family was also of military origin. Although her own family was civil officials, they always emphasized that one should keep fit while studying, and did not want to be a weak scholar who could not even tie a chicken. Therefore, all of their descendants were both civil and military, even their daughters were the same.
Princess Kangle was young and liked to play, so when she heard Lu Wenjing's suggestion, she naturally nodded quickly, but she did not forget to look at other people's reactions.
Needless to say, the fifth and seventh princesses had horse riding and archery as part of their daily studies. Although they could not kill the enemy in battle, they could still handle some hunting.
The reason why Chu Zhaoyi and Wei Jieyu were able to accompany the emperor this time was because they were both daughters of military generals and were good at riding and shooting. Although they did not practice often in the palace and were a little unfamiliar with the skills, their skills were already ingrained in their bones and naturally came with no problem.
The only ones left were Su Yujin and Princess An Ning.
Although the two had little contact with bows and arrows, they were quite skilled in riding horses. Even if they couldn't gain anything, it was no problem for them to join in the fun. Seeing that everyone was very interested, they agreed.
"Since everyone agrees, I will go tell father and let him come to see our skills this afternoon." The fifth princess was very excited at this time and ordered her subordinates to prepare everything they would need in the afternoon.
The others were discussing the afternoon's hunting with great interest, and mentioned the deer that the emperor had just hunted, and discussed whether they should go and ask for a piece of it to have spicy hotpot for lunch.
Spicy hotpot is the eternal god, it can be used to cook anything, including venison!
Su Yujin smiled and said, "Deer meat may not taste as good if it is cooked. I asked my subordinates to make a simple baking pan last night. Why don't you ask for a piece? We can roast it and eat it around the stove at noon."
"Add some vegetables, hand-cut lamb slices, and the secret barbecue sauce I brought with me. I'm afraid it will taste even better than roasted whole lamb or roasted deer leg."
After hearing what Su Yujin said, the Fifth Princess and others couldn't help licking their lips and swallowing their saliva.
Especially when I heard the word "secret recipe", my eyes lit up.
Everything Su Yujin made was delicious, and this secret barbecue sauce had the word "secret" in it, so how would it taste?
Everyone became more and more interested, and they discussed the ingredients that could be used for barbecue at noon with greater excitement. The more they talked, the closer their heads came.
Completely, Yan Siying was left aside.
Yan Siying's face turned pale, and she twisted the handkerchief in her hands, almost breaking half of her nails.
In order to shine today, she stayed up half the night last night and came up with two poems and several couplets, but in the end they were of no use at all.
Moreover, she didn't know how to ride a horse, so she couldn't participate in the afternoon hunt.
By that time, everyone else would be riding their horses in the paddock, but she would be the only one watching in the stands. No matter whether Su Yujin could get the prize or not, she had already lost to Su Yujin.
Especially since this kind of thing is what Lu Wenjing is best at, she will definitely be very proud of it, and people will also ridicule her at the same time.
These people clearly banded together to protect Su Yujin and bully her! Damn it!
The more Yan Siying thought about it, the angrier she became, especially when she saw the smile on Su Yujin's face and the doting gaze of He Yanxiu not far away. She felt a surge of blood rushing to her forehead, her mind went blank, and the words came out of her mouth.
"Ping'an County Lady wanted to go hunting with us, and she was having fun, but she dragged Minister He and refused to let him go. She is really greedy. This behavior is really selfish, and she doesn't have the bearing of a lady from a noble family."
Yan Siying was so angry that her voice was quite loud and everyone present could hear it clearly.
Everyone was stunned, stopped talking, and looked at Yan Siying.
His eyes were full of disbelief, but more of it was disdain.
Even the fifth princess laughed openly.
When the others saw this, they also started to chuckle, their eyes filled with sarcasm.
This time, it was Yan Siying's turn to be stunned.
What, is what she said wrong? Mother Pei looked extremely unhappy and reached out to pull Yan Siying back to her seat.
Yan Siying couldn't hold back her expression, and at the same time, she felt puzzled. She suddenly became stubborn and stiffened her neck, "What? What I said is wrong?"
This Yan Siying is really becoming more and more stupid.
The fifth princess chuckled and shook her head.
"I'm afraid we can't say for sure, and it's hard to judge." The Fifth Princess said faintly, "Concubine Yan, why don't you wait for the eldest brother to come back and tell him the story so that he can make the judgment?"
"This amber walnut kernel is newly made by the kitchen here. I think it tastes good. Concubine Yan, why don't you take it back and eat more to replenish your body, so as not to delay for too long."
This is……
Say she's stupid? Yan Siying gritted her teeth.
Mother Pei hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, Fifth Princess, for the reward."
