Seeing Xue Zhiyi accept the challenge, Ge Yuanhui's smile deepened. She asked Gu Shichong, "If we want to compete in Chui Wan, usually we have to form a team of several people, and then two teams will compete to determine the winner. I wonder if Your Highness would be so kind as to just join us for fun?"
Over the years, it was impossible for Gu Shichong not to know Ge Yuanhui's thoughts. Once again, he indulged in the pleasure of being fought over by two women. He was in a good mood and said, "Alright, the weather is good today, so I should relax a little."
Shen Qingtang was a little embarrassed: "Zhiyi, but the competition requires at least three people in a group. Where can we find so many people? You know I definitely can't do it!"
Zhao Lian said, "I can go on stage with Sister Yuan Hui."
Shen Qingtang calculated: "Even so, including His Royal Highness Prince Gong and Zhiyi, there are only four people, not even six."
As she spoke, she looked at the ladies who had been very active just now, but saw them looking at each other and refusing.
Suddenly, Shen Qingtang noticed something and a look of joy appeared on her face.
Xue Zhiyi also looked in the direction she was looking, and sure enough, he saw a young man in red clothes under a curtain not far away, leaning on his knees and looking at the person flying a kite in the distance.
It was Lin'an Marquis Huo Wuyou.
Shen Qingtang bit her lip, mustered up the courage to call out, "Marquis of Lin'an!"
Huo Wuyou looked over at the sound and saw Shen Qingtang bowing to him. "Marquis Lin'an, we're still short of players for chuiwan. I wonder if you're interested?"
After saying that, she quickly lowered her head with a red face, and she wanted to shrink behind Xue Zhiyi.
Noticing them, Huo Wuyou stood up and walked over, bowing to Gu Shichong: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Gu Shichong smiled politely: "We are all cousins, no need to be polite."
Huo Wuyou was born to Princess Yongning, who had the same mother as the current emperor. They were cousins in reality.
"How about it?" Gu Shichong asked him, "Are you interested in joining us?"
Huo Wuyou's gaze inadvertently swept over Xue Zhiyi.
In fact, he had noticed them since Xue Zhiyi started playing Chui Wan. Although he had some feelings for Xue Zhiyi, due to rationality, he only thought about them that much.
Reason told him that Xue Zhiyi was no ordinary person, and he didn't want to provoke this little girl.
However, he had some hidden thoughts in his mind, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances secretly. So just now, although he seemed to be looking at the kite, his peripheral vision had actually never left their direction.
Facing Gu Shichong's invitation, he pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness has said so, how can Wuyou refuse?"
He glanced at Xue Zhiyi silently again - they were just playing Cricket together, and he wouldn't fall in love with Xue Zhiyi because of this, so it didn't matter.
At this moment, Zhao Lian said, "We are still missing one person."
"That's just right." Xue Zhiyi said, "With my sister, that's enough."
Next to Xue Zhiyi, Xue Runing panicked and quickly grabbed her hand: "Third sister, I can't do this... This is only my first day, I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid." Xue Zhiyi smiled at her and whispered, "You're actually a very good fighter. What's more, I'm here."
Xue Runing finally calmed down a bit, gritted her teeth and nodded: "...Okay, I believe Third Sister!"
Xue Zhiyi and Xue Runing, Ge Yuanhui and Zhao Lian, these are the groups that have been determined, but it is difficult to determine which group Huo Wuyou and Gu Shichong belong to.
"Let's draw lots?" Zhao Lian suggested. "I'll have someone draw lots, and whichever group is drawn will be the group."
After saying that, he exchanged glances with Ge Yuanhui.
Zhao Lian had been Ge Yuanhui's lackey for so long, how could she not know what she was thinking? Now she had to find a way to put Ge Yuanhui and Gu Shichong in the same group.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shichong pointed at one of the ladies watching the excitement and said, "Let Miss Fu handle this matter."
Fu Rongxin was slightly startled in the crowd, and then bowed: "Yes, sir."
Xue Zhiyi almost forgot that Fu Rongxin also came to Chunji today, but their relationship was not good, so they did not go together. After arriving at Fengming Mountain, they just played separately.
Ge Yuanhui felt disappointed for a moment, but he did not show it on his face. He just secretly prayed that his luck would be better.
But Fu Rongxin, who had the opportunity, would certainly not let it go.
She temporarily left to make bamboo sticks, and when she came back, she had two bamboo sticks in her hand.
She said, "Your Highness, Lord, here are two lots with their names written on them. Whichever one you draw will be the team you belong to."
There was an order of hierarchy, so Fu Rongxin took the bamboo stick and handed it to Gu Shichong first.
When Gu Shichong was drawing lots, Huo Wuyou looked a little unnatural. After thinking about it, he became annoyed: He didn't care who he was on the same team with, so why was he so nervous?
Gu Shichong picked up a lot at random, took a closer look, and then set his gaze on Xue Zhiyi: "Miss Xue, I'm honored."
Fu Rongxin smiled and said, "Then Your Highness will be in a group with Zhiyi Runing, and the Marquis will be in a group with Miss Ge and Miss Zhao."
After saying this, he secretly put the remaining lot into his sleeve.
She was very satisfied with this result. She just wanted Ge Yuanhui to continue to hate Xue Zhiyi. It would be better if she could drive the tiger to devour the wolf. She would let Ge Yuanhui deal with the people she couldn't deal with. If Ge Yuanhui was defeated by Xue Zhiyi, she would not lose out anyway, because she had a grudge against both of them.
But if she is satisfied, someone will be dissatisfied.
Although Ge Yuanhui still smiled generously, his hand holding the hammer had already clenched tightly.
The rules of the game are that three people form a group, each person has three balls, and they play against each other in a one-on-one competition, with two wins out of three.
The first round was played by Zhao Lian. Xue Zhiyi patted Xue Runing's hand and said, "You come."
