Chapter 1135: It really works
With the Empress Dowager watching, the competition naturally became much more formal.
Before the competition begins, the participating girls draw lots first.
Then, throw the dice one by one in the order they drew.
Because there are so many gimmicks involved, it’s a singles competition.
Tang Bao looked at the bamboo stick in his hand.
Well, the serial number is a capital one.
"Sister Fuya, it's okay!" Xia Siya patted Tang Bao's shoulder and said, "We hit the target with the first arrow. Let's put some psychological pressure on them!"
As soon as Xia Siya finished speaking, she immediately attracted the attention of a group of people.
Where does this confidence come from?
People like Princess Rong didn't dare laugh openly because of the presence of the Queen Mother, but the sarcasm in their eyes was not concealed at all.
Tang Bao felt that what Xia Siya said was right, so she seriously agreed with her words.
"Sister Siya is right, this is called taking the initiative!" Tang Bao spoke big words without any psychological pressure.
Princess Rong and others: "..."
Where's the face?
Madam Xia rubbed her forehead and, facing the various looks from all around, said with a stiff upper lip, "Be modest! A girl should be modest, understand?"
Tang Bao and Xia Siya looked at each other and showed expressions of learning.
"I know, godmother!"
"I know, Mom!"
Everyone: “…”
At this time, not only Princess Rong and others had expressions of disbelief on their faces, but even the Imperial Concubine and others had expressions that were difficult to describe.
This mother and daughter are so bold!
A hint of disdain flashed in Xuanyuan Hui's eyes.
Finally, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "In that case, we will wait and see Princess Ford show her skills."
Tang Bao nodded, acting like an expert.
"Well, watch carefully!" Learn from it!
Although Tang Bao didn't say the last few words, her expression showed it.
Xuanyuan Hui's expression froze, and a breath was stuck in his chest.
Even though I've been taught etiquette since childhood, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Princess Linghua was delighted when she saw it.
She felt more and more that Tang Bao was her soulmate.
This ability to choke someone to death without any compensation is amazing!
Regardless of whether you can make the shot or not, as long as you make others angry, you win!
"Su Tang! Come on! Go for it!" Princess Linghua waved her fist at Tang Bao.
Upon hearing this, Tang Bao cheered up, took a bamboo arrow, and stood at the designated position.
Coincidentally, the ones throwing with Tang Bao were Song Xiangyan and Zheng Suxin.
The three girls stood in a row, with Tang Bao standing in the middle.
Zheng Suxin nodded reservedly at Tang Bao.
It can be seen that Zheng Suxin is a little nervous.
Although she tried her best to appear calm, Tang Bao could notice that Zheng Suxin's left hand was subconsciously tugging at the corner of her clothes.
As for Song Xiangyan, Tang Bao felt that it would be strange if she hit the target.
His face was pale, his eyes were filled with eagerness, and his hand holding the bamboo arrow was shaking...
Tang Bao looked at Song Xiangyan arrogantly.
With this kind of mental quality, you still dare to compete with me?
Where does this confidence come from?
So, Tang Bao raised his little chin, held the bamboo arrow, but didn't throw it.
He clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky.
"God bless... God bless..."
Tang Bao muttered to herself.
Everyone: “…”
Empress Shufei couldn't help but burst out laughing first.
"Tangtang, don't be afraid, it's just a fun thing." Concubine Shu said with a smile.
The Imperial Concubine was also a little amused and said, "That's right. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. You are young and you don't have time to go back and practice. Next time you will be able to surprise everyone."
Of course, neither Concubine Shu nor Concubine Gui meant to laugh at Tang Bao, they just thought Tang Bao's behavior was cute.
When the other ladies saw this, no matter how disdainful they were in their hearts, they all smiled, whether genuine or fake.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Princess Rong's eyes.
However, after looking at the Empress Dowager, he didn't dare to say anything.
There was no way, because the Empress Dowager looked at Tang Bao with such gentleness and love at this moment, and did not think that Tang Bao's behavior was ridiculous at all.
Princess Rong secretly resented the Queen Mother, thinking she was extremely partial.
It is obvious that his two daughters are the descendants of Xuanyuan clan, but they have not been canonized as princesses by the emperor until now.
Instead, it was a wild girl from the countryside who was not only canonized as a princess, but was also rewarded with a princess's mansion.
Originally, although Princess Rong had a prejudice against Princess Tang Bao, she did not reveal it because of her relationship with the old princess.
It’s different now. I’m so angry with Tang Bao.
Song Xiangyan was already very nervous, and now she couldn't hold it in any longer. She whispered, "How ridiculous! Do you think you can make a shot just by praying to God? You're dreaming! You're truly a country bumpkin! Today, I'll show you what humiliation is!"
Song Xiangyan made some harsh remarks and felt much more at ease.
Even if she can't get first place, she will definitely beat Tang Bao.
"We'll know if I can make the shot after we give it a try!" Tang Bao said leisurely, "As for who will be embarrassed in the end, we'll know when the results come out!"
After saying that, without caring what others thought, he pointed the bamboo arrow in his hand towards the mouth of the pot, gestured a few times, and then exerted force, and with a "whoosh", the bamboo arrow flew out.
"bite!"
With a slight sound, the bamboo arrow fell steadily into the hole in the middle of the copper pot.
quiet!
Complete silence!
Everyone looked at the bamboo arrow stuck in the hole, their faces filled with shock, unable to recover.
Especially Princess Rong, the expressions on her face were wonderful.
"This is impossible..." Xuanyuan Hui murmured.
The Queen Mother looked at Xuanyuan Hui calmly.
Princess Linghua suddenly jumped up, screamed and hugged Xia Siya.
"Ahhh! Su Tang made the shot! Made it!"
"Yeah! I made it! I made it!" Xia Siya also laughed and shouted happily.
The two girls had long forgotten the rules and customs of ladies from wealthy families. Their young and beautiful faces were filled with sincere smiles, dazzling in the sun.
Several children from aristocratic families looked over, with no contempt in their eyes, but rather their heartbeats quickening.
Tang Bao looked at Song Xiangyan, spread his hands, and said, "See, it really works."
Song Xiangyan: "..."
Feeling unwilling, he glared at Tang Bao with resentment.
The hand holding the bamboo arrow was shaking even more violently.
Tang Bao looked at Song Xiangyan's hand and kindly suggested, "Can you still vote? Otherwise, just give up, so you don't feel embarrassed if you miss. In fact, there's nothing to be ashamed of if you miss. You don't have to worry too much..."
Song Xiangyan: "...Shut up! Who said I can't make a shot?"
Song Xiangyan got angry and threw the bamboo arrow in her hand out with a whoosh.
With a "ding" sound, it hit the copper pot - and missed!
Song Xiangyan: "..."
My head buzzed.
Tang Bao had an expression that said, "As expected," and said softly, "See, I didn't win."
Song Xiangyan: "..."
I almost vomited blood.
