Chapter 1136: No Suspense
"Actually, you don't need to feel too ashamed. It's okay if you didn't win. Really, I was just saying it casually. Don't care too much about gains and losses, success or failure. Only in this way can you live a relaxed and comfortable life..." Tang Bao kept chattering, giving kind advice with a sincere look on her face.
Song Xiangyan's eyes went dark and she almost fainted from anger.
Tang Bao's voice was like a ball of fire, burning from her ears to her heart...
She was so burned that she was about to explode.
If these words came from someone else, Song Xiangyan could still see it as comforting her.
However, when Tang Bao said this, it was clearly a slap in her face.
Princess Linghua was convinced when she saw this.
It turns out that this is the highest level of being infuriating!
Learned it!
The Queen Mother looked at Tang Bao, turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, and her face was full of love.
As for whether Tang Bao is deliberately irritating people?
No way!
Didn’t you see the sincerity on the little girl’s face?
Alas! This child is kind-hearted.
The girl from the Song family clearly harbored malice towards Fu Ya, and she must have said something unpleasant just now. Yet, Fu Ya was so kind as to comfort her...
The Empress Dowager sighed secretly.
After the imperial concubine's initial shock, her face became complicated.
Then he looked at his niece Zheng Suxin.
Zheng Suxin's palms were sweating and her expression became more and more nervous.
It has to be said that Tang Bao's arrow caused great psychological pressure on both Song Xiangyan and Zheng Suxin.
Zheng Suxin took a deep breath, thought of the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, and tried hard to calm her heartbeat.
Then, he also threw the bamboo arrow in his hand.
"Ding!"
The bamboo arrow fell into the hole in the middle of the copper pot.
"Good! My cousin also scored!" The Sixth Princess clapped her hands happily.
The wife of Prime Minister Zheng, Princess Rong, and several ladies who were close to the Zheng family all smiled and congratulated Mrs. Zheng.
"I didn't expect that Suxin is such a capable child." Princess Rong said with a smile.
Prime Minister Zheng's wife smiled modestly and said, "It was only the first arrow. It might just be a coincidence."
"Madam, you are too modest." A lady whispered, "If it is just a coincidence, that Princess Ford..."
The lady was well aware of the principle of keeping a low profile and did not say anything explicitly.
But everyone understands what follows.
Then, the ladies exchanged a knowing look.
In their hearts, they all sighed at Tang Bao's good luck.
This is so accurate!
Princess Rong snorted softly and said, "If this happens once, you're lucky, but it won't happen again."
As soon as Princess Rong finished speaking, with a "ding" sound, the second arrow in Tang Bao's hand fell into the middle hole of the copper pot.
Princess Rong: “…”
My face hurts.
The others looked at each other in disbelief.
How did I win again?
Is this the same little girl who just said she wanted to practice first?
Everyone felt it was a bit mysterious.
However, more mysterious things are yet to come.
The four arrows Tang Bao threw in the first round all hit the hole in the middle of the copper pot.
For a moment, there was complete silence.
Everyone was a little confused.
After a long while, someone murmured, "Is this possible?"
Yeah, is this possible?
This is what everyone is thinking.
The Empress Dowager looked at the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on the red silk tray.
It is God's will, so I don't have to take it back.
Although the competition had not yet ended, the Empress Dowager felt that the outcome was no longer in doubt.
"You're lying!" Song Xiangyan's expression was a little distorted, and she screamed, "You must have played it before!"
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hit all of them.
And she, the daughter of the emperor, the distant niece of Consort Shu, had already shot three arrows, but hadn't hit the target at all...
Song Xiangyan is going crazy.
She could already sense that the people around her were looking at her with a hint of sarcasm.
This was simply unbearable for her.
"Why would I lie to you?" Tang Bao said with a puzzled look on his face, "This game isn't that difficult. I've already tried it out, so I can definitely make the shot."
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, not to mention what happened to Song Xiangyan, everyone around her began to doubt their lives.
Isn’t it difficult?
Then why do I often miss the shot?
By the way, this game of throwing pots can be played by both men and women.
It was very popular, especially among scholars and officials.
As a result, Tang Bao's words caused many people to doubt themselves.
Some people even don't dare to play this game anymore.
Otherwise, if you miss the shot, people will laugh at you for being stupid.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Song Xiangyan opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
Tang Bao continued, "What's more, although we country kids have never played pitching pots, we all played pebbles when we were young, using pebbles to hit sparrows and so on. We were very accurate, and it's similar to pitching pots."
What Tang Bao didn’t say was that when she played ring toss in her previous life, she was a nightmare for the vendors.
"twitter……"
A flock of sparrows flew across the sky.
Everyone looked up.
Can you really improve your accuracy in pitching pots by hitting sparrows with stones?
Tang Bao didn't expect that her casual remark would soon lead to a trend in the capital of hitting sparrows with stones.
After Tang Bao finished speaking, he looked at Song Xiangyan and kindly suggested, "How about you follow my example... and bow down too?"
"I don't—"
Song Xiangyan stopped talking suddenly before she finished speaking.
Then, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his face, clasped his hands together, and prayed to God.
Your Majesty, when you saw your cousin like this, the disappointment on your face became even more intense.
She is obviously a daughter of a wealthy family, but she only knows how to scheme and seek advantages, is short-sighted, and always clings to the two sisters from Prince Rong's Mansion. She has lost her girlish modesty and is ultimately too disgraceful.
Even if it is the same action of worshiping God, when a little girl like Princess Fude does it, it just makes people feel cute.
What my niece did was ridiculous.
Song Xiangyan prayed to God and felt more at ease.
Then, with great expectations, he threw the last arrow of the first round.
"Ding!"
The bamboo arrow hit the mouth of the pot, bounced, and did not fall into it, but fell to the ground instead.
Song Xiangyan: "..."
He suddenly looked at Tang Bao and said angrily, "Didn't you say that just bowing is enough?"
Tang Bao said innocently, "When did I say that if I prayed, I would definitely make the shot?"
At this point, he lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.
"Actually, I just want you to fully experience the feeling of being slapped in the face." Tang Bao blinked and said, "Well, now it's proven that you are the one who is embarrassed, right?"
Song Xiangyan: "..."
Song Xiangyan suddenly shouted, "Su Tang, I want to fight you..."
"Shut up!" Concubine Shu interrupted Song Xiangyan and said sternly, "Tangtang is the princess. How can you call her by her name so carelessly? You don't know etiquette! Don't embarrass yourself here. Back off!"
It’s okay to lose, but it’s shameful to be unable to accept defeat!
What's more, knowing clearly that the Queen Mother was wholeheartedly protecting Princess Fude, he still dared to provoke her again and again. He is really brainless!
If this goes on, the whole family might be implicated by her!
As soon as Concubine Shu spoke, Song Xiangran's heated head immediately sobered up.
He looked around at the people around him in panic, and seeing the contempt and ridicule on their faces, his face immediately turned red.
The sister-in-law of Concubine Shu glared at Song Xiangyan with a gloomy expression.
This niece was brought by her.
I originally thought he was a scheming person, and his appearance was also quite outstanding.
If she could marry into the royal family, even as a concubine of the prince, it would bring many benefits to the Song family.
Clinker is so useless.
When Song Xiangyan received the gaze of Concubine Shu's sister-in-law, her expression suddenly changed and her whole body turned cold.
She's finished...
This was the only thought left in Song Xiangyan's mind.
