Chapter 1131: I’m just a passerby
I have to say that painting a beauty on nails is more difficult than painting flowers.
In particular, the other party is a self-admiring person with superb painting skills.
If there is any flaw, people can see it.
In this way, it took Tang Bao most of the day to finish the nails for Concubine De.
Tang Bao took the painting from Concubine De, returned to her residence, and asked Shi Liu to put the painting in the box.
Tangbao has no plans to take out this painting, so it will just gather dust in the box.
Tang Bao asked the palace maid and learned that Princess Huaning had gone out with the Empress Dowager, so she ate something casually and started wandering around.
It is a good time of the year with blue sky, white clouds and green grass.
“I got it…I got it…”
There were cheers of surprise.
Tang Bao turned her head and saw a group of young people playing pitching pots on the grass.
There are both men and women, it’s very lively.
The men were fine, Tang Bao didn’t know many of them, but she had some acquaintances among the women.
Among them, Princess Linghua, Xuanyuan Hui and others were present.
"It seems that Sister Hui will definitely win this round!" Song Xiangyan said excitedly.
Xuanyuan Hui listened and smiled without saying anything.
His eyes couldn't help but glance at a young man not far away.
This person was Zheng Ziqian, the legitimate son of Prime Minister Zheng.
Zheng Ziqian was selected by the emperor as a Jinshi in the palace examination, and was considered a famous young talent.
The Zheng family and the Rong Wang Mansion have already matched the horoscopes of Zheng Ziqian and Xuanyuan Hui, and are just waiting to choose a date to propose.
"Hmph! That's not necessarily true!" Princess Linghua said angrily.
After saying that, he picked up a bamboo arrow and prepared to throw it.
However, my hands were shaking and I lacked confidence.
Although she had played tossing pots many times in her early years and had a good aim, her skills had long since deteriorated after three years of seclusion in Tianlong Temple.
Just now, I was provoked by someone and couldn't help but make a bet with Xuanyuan Jin.
"Oh! You're just being stubborn!" Song Xiangyan curled her lips in disdain.
Princess Linghua glared at her.
Then, he made up his mind to fight to the death and threw the bamboo arrow in his hand out.
The bamboo arrow brushed against the spout of the pot and fell onto the grass.
Princess Linghua: "..."
He was so frustrated that he almost rushed over and kicked the copper pot off the ground.
Song Xiangyan shouted happily.
"Sister Hui won!"
After saying that, he looked at the palace maid beside him.
The maid held a brass tray in her hand.
The tray was covered with red satin, and on the satin was a large gold hairpin with a double butterfly pattern.
"This hairpin belongs to Sister Hui!" Song Xiangyan said excitedly.
There was a glint of envy in his eyes.
The palace maid walked towards Xuanyuan Hui carrying a tray.
Xuanyuan Hui picked up the hairpin, a smug expression appeared on her face, and she looked at Princess Linghua.
"Princess, thank you for your kindness!" Xuanyuan Hui said.
Princess Linghua's expression was a little grim, but she raised her chin and said simply, "My skills are inferior to yours, I admit defeat!"
Princess Linghua's straightforward attitude made Zheng Ziqian show an expression of admiration on his face.
Song Xiangyan said proudly, "I knew Sister Hui would win! Unlike some people who won't cry until they see the coffin!"
Princess Linghua looked at Song Xiangyan and said incredulously, "Do you know how ugly this sarcastic look is? Others have a good reputation for being generous and decent, and you're cheering them on, jumping up and down like a monkey. Aren't you afraid you won't get married?"
Song Xiangyan: "..."
The expression on his face suddenly froze.
Zheng Ziqian looked at the chain arrows, and the expression on his face became more and more admiring.
Xuanyuan Hui had been secretly watching Zheng Ziqian, and a dark cloud flashed in his eyes when he saw this.
In the eerie atmosphere, someone laughed out loud with a "puff".
Song Xiangyan's face immediately turned red, and she felt ashamed, embarrassed and regretful.
Looking around, he saw that many children from wealthy families had mocking expressions on their faces.
Song Xiangyan almost shed tears of embarrassment.
It can be said that Princess Linghua's words hit her sore spot.
She has reached the age of marriage, so naturally what she cares most about is her own marriage.
Originally, he was clinging to the Xuanyuan Hui sisters because he wanted to use the relationship with Prince Rong's Mansion to increase his own value and find a good marriage.
Who would have thought that now that he was being squeezed out by Princess Linghua, wouldn't his reputation be greatly damaged?
Not only that, she lost face in front of so many young men from aristocratic families, so who would still look up to her?
Song Xiangyan almost hated Princess Linghua to death.
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Xiangyan shouted, her face flushed. "It's you who's not as skilled as others. You didn't admit it at first. I was just telling the truth!"
"What a joke! How can anyone determine the winner before the competition is over?" Princess Linghua said confidently, "Why should I admit I'm inferior right out of the gate? Are you stupid?"
"you……"
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Princess Linghua raised her chin and said crisply, "Now I say that you are inferior to others in skills. You can't beat me, forget it. You can't beat Su Tang. Do you admit it?"
Princess Linghua said this and pulled over Tang Bao who was coming over to watch the fun.
Tang Bao: “…”
I'm just a passerby.
Song Xiangyan was very angry.
Of course she didn't admit it!
But if she said that, wouldn't she be contradicting herself?
Xuanyuan Hui frowned slightly upon seeing this, and said pointedly, "Princess, why are you being so aggressive? Sister Xiangyan was just speaking her mind. It's just a fun thing for everyone to have fun with. Why make such a fuss? It only makes you look petty and loses the dignity of a lady."
Princess Linghua: "..."
What's the meaning?
Are you implying that I'm petty and calculative?
Princess Linghua was about to open her mouth to refute, but Xuanyuan Hui looked at Tang Bao again and continued, "Since Princess Yan believes that Sister Yan cannot compete with Princess Fude, why not let them compete? It's something for everyone to have fun after all, so just treat it as a way to pass the time."
As soon as Xuanyuan Hui finished speaking, Song Xiangyan's eyes lit up.
"Yes! Let's have a competition!" Song Xiangyan looked at Tang Bao.
She's just a little girl from the country. I'm afraid she doesn't even know how to play, let alone make a shot!
I will definitely be able to defeat her easily and embarrass her!
In this way, I will definitely be able to restore my reputation.
When Song Xiangyan thought of this, she became a little impatient, fearing that Tang Bao would refuse, and hurriedly continued, "Are you afraid?"
These words were spoken to Princess Linghua.
Moreover, his eyes were full of provocation.
Princess Linghua was provoked by Song Xiangyan. She pinched her waist with both hands and shouted, "What's there to be afraid of? Let's compete! Who's afraid of who?!"
Tang Bao: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Tang Bao tugged at Princess Linghua's sleeve and said, "Um, Princess Linghua, I..."
"It's okay! Su Tang, you're brave enough to compete with her! I believe you!"
Princess Linghua was full of confidence and interrupted Tang Bao, acting as if to say, "I support you."
"Su Tang! Come on! Go for it!"
Princess Linghua waved her fist at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao: “…”
The words "I don't know how to play tossing pot" were on the tip of my tongue, but I forced myself to hold them back.
