Chapter 124: Silly Rabbit Will Run Into the Gun
Su Qianqian blinked. Those who could come here were all women of power and nobility. It was worth seeing what kind of gem could make that young lady exclaim. However, she had no interest in winning it back because she knew her confidant's worth.
That time it was like a rabbit running into the muzzle of a gun. This time, knowing that it was the muzzle of a gun, what stupid rabbit would run into it a second time?
"Madam Hu, you don't have to be so rigid. You have a good eye. This is a treasure that my father gave me. It is a colorful original treasure ornament."
Princess Zhaoyang gently raised her finger, and the palace maid lifted up the red silk, revealing a large piece of raw gemstone inside.
Oh shit! Su Qianqian almost blurted out: Is it possible to mine such a complete emerald at this time?
Although this piece of raw ore contains associated calcite, crystal and mica, the main component is emerald green beryl, which is nestled between white mica and crystal, like a mysterious lady in green, reflecting brilliant light.
Su Qianqian always felt that Princess Zhaoyang didn’t know its actual value: if it were taken to modern times, this piece could buy a city.
However, this treasure has no liquidity. No matter how expensive it is, it is just a decoration if it is not sold. If you want to sell it, not many people can afford it and are willing to spend the money. So Su Qianqian comforted herself: It doesn’t matter if I can’t win.
"Since there are prizes, there should be penalties. For every loss, add a piece of jewelry to the prize. The winner of that game gets it. The jewelry doesn't matter if it's expensive or cheap. It's just for fun."
Princess Zhaoning added another sentence, casually glancing at the jewelry around Su Qianqian's snake bun, and raised the corner of her lips.
"But if you lose every game, then the punishment will be bigger: you can play a piece of music for everyone here, or do a song and dance, both are fine."
Zhao Ning had just finished speaking when some of the noble ladies and young ladies were already hesitant. Other things were fine, as playing music in public was usually only done when comparing piano skills. As for singing and dancing, those were done by the dancers, and even if they could, it would not be easy to perform in public, especially with the Princess of Liang making a fool of herself in front of them.
After hearing this, Su Qianqian decided not to participate. Compared with these noble ladies who were bored and spent the whole day thinking about how to kill time, she was really too inexperienced. If she was asked to play the piano, she would easily attract people who wanted to play cotton.
As for the songs, she doesn’t dare to sing the ones she knows, and the original owner can’t sing either. As for dancing, does square dancing count? Let’s just forget it!
Just as Su Qianqian made the decision to give up the competition, Princess Zhaoyang spoke again: "We must have fun today. Each prefecture must select at least three people to participate, unless there are less than three people, then all of them must enter."
Su Qianqian looked at her side. There were only Wang, Qin Yuzhuo and her. She couldn't push Qin Yuqi and the other girls down. If anything happened, she would be embarrassed to explain.
With no way out, Su Qianqian boldly took Wang and Qin Yuzhuo to the stage, but first took off her jewelry and asked the girls to keep it, telling them to take out the smaller one if they lost a round...
Lu Zhiqing and Xue Wanning both had to attend, Zhuang Yan was also alone, and Zhu Jiayi from Duke Xuan's Mansion was still glaring at Zhao Ning, and they were almost eye-to-eye. Su Qianqian was wondering if she could find some way to take advantage of her.
"Which one should we play first? Why don't we play polo..." Princess Zhaoyang said slowly while looking at Su Qianqian. Su Qianqian smiled and said, "Sorry, Princess, I don't know how to play polo."
Princess Zhaoyang immediately became alert. Last time she said she couldn’t play the game of pitching pot, but he ended up winning a lot of jewelry from her!
"Ah, let's not play this. It's very troublesome to choose a horse!" Princess Zhaoyang immediately rejected this game herself.
[What happened? Princess Zhaoyang turned over a new leaf? Why are you so considerate? I feel so embarrassed to harm her! 】
Su Qianqian quietly put away the acupuncture needle coated with capsaicin, originally preparing to hit Zhaoyang's horse's butt if necessary!
[I found that capsaicin is a powerful antidote. Every time I want to use it, I can't get what I want! Su Qianqian discovered this and didn’t understand whether she was lucky or her opponent was lucky.
[If your capsaicin is so effective, can you defeat them all and win back that gem? 】The system sneered.
[Talk less, it will be good for you. This is capsaicin, not an atomic bomb. That gem is suitable to live in the palace. The security in our house is not so good. 】
Su Qianqian looked at the other teams and found that they were not more difficult to deal with than the three of them. As long as they were not the last, she didn't mind returning one or two pieces of jewelry.
"Then why don't we play clash of balls..." Princess Zhaoyang dragged out the word "吧".
"I know this!" Su Qianqian quickly raised her hand. Chui Wan is basically golf, and she is an intermediate and advanced player. She learned it specifically in order to get into the circle of rich people. Of course, the main purpose is to meet celebrities on the golf course and generate traffic for her live broadcast of eating melons.
"Then let's play this!" Princess Zhaoyang's eyes lit up and she made a decision immediately: Su Qianqian said she could, so she must not be trying to lie to her on purpose. Humph, I'm so smart that I can see through your tricks, let's see how you make a fool of yourself!
[It turns out that Princess Zhaoyang is such a good person, so considerate! 】Su Qianqian praised Princess Zhaoyang in her heart and went to the competition happily.
The field for playing Chui Wan had to be uneven. There was indeed a field next to Jingyuan, with small mounds and pits, on which the base and the entrance to the hole for Chui Wan were marked.
There are a total of 48 people playing, just three people in each group. Those who don't have enough sticks can form a group with other families. Each group has three sticks, so the time is shorter. Three people must complete the three sticks. Whoever hits the hole wins a point.
The first group to lose three chips is finished, and the group with more chips remaining wins.
The length of the grass sticks determined the order of the performance. Su Qianqian's group ranked sixth, which was not too good, but better than the first. The first to perform was Xue Wanning and Lu Zhiqing's group, which just happened to make up the three people with Zhuang Yan.
Lu Zhiqing was obviously a little nervous.
Although Xue Wanning was frail, she was very calm. She was the first to swing the bat, and the ball landed in a good position, making it easy for the next player to hit it. Zhuang Yan then easily hit the second bat, and this time the ball landed very close to the hole. As long as she kept steady, it would definitely go into the hole.
But as expected, Lu Zhiqing missed the shot. She was too nervous and her hit was a little off, so the ball brushed the edge of the hole, causing a burst of regrets.
Lu Zhiqing's face turned red and white. When she returned to her seat, she didn't dare to look up at Xue Wanning and Zhuang Yan. Instead, Zhuang Yan comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's just for fun, and there will be another chance."
Xue Wanning gently touched Lu Zhiqing and said, "Even if you lose, don't be afraid. I will play the music for you."
Xue Wanning's words made Zhuang Yan admire her and feel good about her.
[This Miss Lu puts too much pressure on herself. She is obsessed with it! 】The system made sarcastic remarks without any sympathy.
It was Su Qianqian's group's turn. There had been wins and losses before, so there was no pressure. After watching others play for a while, she had already analyzed the basic rules and the strength required for the weight of the ball. After discussing with Wang Qin Yuzhuo, Su Qianqian was the first to go on stage.
Princess Zhaoyang sat up from her seat and stared at Su Qianqian intently.
