Chapter 1134: Thank you for your metaphor
Princess Rong was startled and fell to her knees with a thud.
When Xuanyuan Hui saw this, he also knelt down immediately.
"Please forgive me, Empress Dowager. I didn't know Princess Fude had never played before," Xuanyuan Hui hastily explained. "It was Princess Linghua who kept saying that Sister Xiangyan couldn't compare to Princess Fude. So, I assumed that Princess Fude must be a master."
"For this reason, I have specially offered my newly acquired hairpin as a gift. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to give it to Princess Fude..."
When Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, his eyes were red and he looked like he had suffered a great injustice and was about to cry.
Seeing this, Princess Linghua was trying to shift the blame onto herself again, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I understand clearly. That's not what I meant. I was just, just casually making an analogy..."
Princess Linghua's voice became lower and lower as she spoke.
She really just said it casually, deliberately trying to piss off Song Xiangyan. How could she have imagined it would turn out like this?
Although he knew that Xuanyuan Hui did it on purpose, now that he said this, it seemed as if he was wrong.
Princess Linghua was filled with regret.
If she knew that Tang Bao had never played it before, she would definitely not drag Tang Bao into it.
"Everyone, get up," the Queen Mother said slowly, "It's just some fun for the little girls, don't take it seriously."
When the Empress Dowager said this, her tone changed and she exuded the majesty of a superior.
"However, if anyone dares to bully Princess Ford in the future, I will not let him off easily!"
After saying this, he glanced at the people around him with a stern look.
A group of ladies in the imperial court bowed in unison and said, "We dare not."
At the same time, I was extremely shocked.
No one expected that the always philanthropic Empress Dowager would actually speak like this to protect a little girl.
Princess Rong was almost furious, but she didn't dare show it at all.
I couldn't help but think of the old princess's appreciation for Tang Bao.
At this moment, I couldn't help but admire my mother-in-law's vision.
It’s a pity that Prince Rong’s Mansion is destined to stand on the opposite side of Princess Fude’s Mansion.
My second daughter has not recovered from the shock she suffered.
She sent people to Princess Fude's Mansion and delivered invitations several times, but they were turned down every time. It was obvious that they didn't take Prince Rong's Mansion seriously.
How could she bear this?
But I can't bear it, I have to endure it now.
The Queen Mother looked at Tang Bao and turned into a kind-looking old lady again.
"Fuya, don't you want to practice? Try it now." The Queen Mother said with a smile, her face full of encouragement.
"Okay, grandma." Tang Bao said with a smile.
Then, he turned around and, in full view of everyone, threw the bamboo arrow in his hand towards the copper pot standing not far away.
The bamboo arrow flew high over the copper pot and landed on the grass in front.
Everyone: “…”
This is flying too far...
The Empress Dowager did not show any disappointment, but continued to watch with a smile and a look of indulgence.
"Come again, come again, just use less strength..." Princess Linghua said dryly, and quickly handed Tang Bao a bamboo arrow.
Tang Bao took the bamboo arrow, weighed it again, and raised his hand——
The bamboo arrow fell to the ground when it was still more than a foot away from the copper pot.
Everyone: “…”
I really haven't played it before.
Don't worry!
Princess Linghua couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
He secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager still looked quite interested, as if she was watching her granddaughter having fun.
"Su Tang, it's okay! Just look at me later!" Princess Linghua pretended to be confident and whispered, "I will definitely win!"
She no longer counts on Tang Bao.
Although, she felt that she might not be able to win.
But, it is still better than Tangbao.
On the contrary, Xia Siya has not given up yet.
"Sister Fuya, try again."
After saying that, he eagerly handed Tang Bao a bamboo arrow.
When Princess Linghua heard this, she quickly said, "Right, right, maybe if you put a little more strength in, you can hit the target."
However, she herself did not have the confidence to say this.
It would be strange if you could succeed!
Unless a blind cat catches a dead mouse.
Princess Linghua thought without hope.
I have to say that Tang Bao voted twice and received a lot of different looks.
Many people envy the Empress Dowager and the concubines' protection of Tang Bao.
At the same time, it also makes more people dissatisfied.
In particular, it also involves the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin.
Now, seeing that Tang Bao really looked like she had never played before, many people felt relieved.
As for Princess Rong, her daughter, and Song Xiangyan, their eyes were full of mockery and they looked extremely happy.
The third bamboo arrow in Tang Bao's hand flew out again.
Target - copper kettle.
Princess Linghua and Xia Siya both widened their eyes.
As the bamboo arrow got closer and closer to the copper pot, the two men almost forgot to breathe.
There was a soft "Ding" sound.
The bamboo arrow brushed against the left edge of the copper pot and fell onto the grass.
Although she didn't hit the target, Princess Linghua's face was full of joy.
"I almost got it!" Princess Linghua said excitedly.
Xia Siya also nodded happily.
Maybe if she tries a few more times, Sister Fuya will be able to hit the target.
Moreover, Xia Siya had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
She felt that Sister Fuya would definitely win.
That nine-tailed phoenix hairpin must belong to sister Fuya!
"Hmph! You're truly a country bumpkin who has never seen the world!" Song Xiangyan whispered beside Xuanyuan Hui.
Although Xuanyuan Hui didn't say anything, the expression on her face showed that she agreed with Song Xiangyan's words.
I have to say, these two people almost hate Tang Bao to death.
Tang Bao didn't care what others thought. In front of everyone, she looked at the Empress Dowager as if asking for praise.
"Grandma, did I vote well?"
Need I say more?
The Empress Dowager would definitely agree.
As expected, the Empress Dowager looked at the little girl with delicate eyebrows and asked herself softly, her heart softened.
"Well, good! Fu Ya's vote is good, she has talent!" said the Queen Mother lovingly.
The Empress Dowager praised so much that it almost sounded like she was lying with her eyes open, and the girls around her were filled with envy and jealousy.
Why doesn’t the Empress Dowager treat me so well?
Moreover, she kept calling me grandma...
Really, it’s impossible not to feel jealous.
The interaction between Tang Bao and the Empress Dowager made a lot of people jealous.
A group of young girls were jealous and began to get ready to fight.
The imperial concubine has already ordered people to register the names of the girls who want to participate in the game of throwing pots.
Because there were so many people participating, several copper pots were placed on the ground.
The copper kettle has two handles, with a small hole in the middle and large holes on both sides.
Obviously, throwing into the middle hole will score higher.
Tang Bao naturally wouldn't take up everyone's competition time, so she tried three times, got a feel for it, and then stopped.
"Sister Fuya, are you really not going to try again?" Xia Siya asked worriedly.
Tang Bao waved her hand and said, "Don't try anymore."
Princess Linghua felt a little regretful.
"Su Tang, if you practice for a few more days, you might just stumble upon something unexpected."
Tang Bao: “…”
I thank you for the metaphor.
