Chapter 119: Live Blind Date, Whose Son is the Best
Ji Qingwu doesn’t care that much about winning or losing, but the elders in her family may not be as open-minded as she is.
Hearing her say this, Qiao immediately shook her head. She had never seen such a proud and proud “lose”.
Old Madam Qiao directly took Ji Qingwu's hand, patted her, and said lovingly: "There are winners and losers in the game. As long as you don't feel bad in your heart, the rest of us are just spectators, just watching the fun."
He then said with a smile in his eyes: "Besides, in my opinion, you lost this game, but you also won."
What do you mean by losing and winning? Ji Qingwu didn’t quite understand what his grandmother meant.
However, Mrs. Qiao understood what the old lady meant.
A while ago, the news that the eldest daughter Qingrong was pregnant and that the fifth daughter had recovered was spread by someone. Then some wives of officials who had difficulty in conceiving secretly sent visiting cards to the Ji Mansion.
Today, Ji Qingwu once again made such a big splash at the Horse Riding and Archery Ceremony that she even overshadowed Concubine Wei. Many wives from military families around her were already ready to surround her.
It seems that Xiaowu can take his time to choose his marriage.
Compared with civil officials, the family of a military general does not have so many twists and turns, and may be able to achieve a better marriage.
The venue was quickly set up.
The competition in the men's horseback archery was already fierce, and one person even came down to join in the fun, causing many contestants to start wailing.
Yuchi Lianping changed his clothes and entered the field. The riding clothes he wore made him look taller and stronger, with a wasp waist and ape arms.
Zhang Chi and Feng Xiang looked at each other. Why did the general change his mind at the last minute? He was going to participate in the competition again. The Horseback Archery Ceremony usually gave newcomers a chance to show their talents. Famous generals rarely came to participate, not to mention that he was a first-rank garrison general.
If it were anyone else it would be fine, but the key is General Yuchi, the arrows he shot never failed to penetrate the target, how can they be compared.
Other people’s starting point is their end point.
Zhang Chi complained, "General Yuchi, how come you ended up like this?"
Feng Xiang also had a gloomy face: "Yeah, why don't you stay with Her Royal Highness the Princess and come to compete with us for the first place?"
Feng Xiang was nagged by his mother for half a month, telling him to perform well in the horse riding and archery ceremony to win the favor of more girls so that he could get married.
Yuchi Lianping was lowering his head to adjust the tightness of his belt, and said casually: "The food at home has been so delicious recently that I have gained a lot of weight. I came here specially to help digest the food."
Feng Xiang looked at his strong waist and abdomen and said in disbelief: "General, stop joking. Who would come to the horse riding and archery ceremony to digest food?"
Yuchi Lianping turned around and looked at Princess Huachang who was sitting on the stage. His expression turned serious and he asked, "Will your wife dislike your thick waist?"
Just now, Princess Huachang complained that his eating manners were not elegant enough. He ate three rose cheeses in one bite, which should be savored in small bites.
This way of eating like an ox chewing a peony annoyed the princess again, so she snatched his plate with a cold face, saying that she had noticed that his waist had become a lot thicker recently, so she would no longer give him any sweets.
Yuchi Lianping really came here to digest his food.
Feng Xiang said: "General, you are joking again. I am not married yet."
Yuchi Lianping nodded in sudden realization: "I almost forgot, both of you are bachelors, and you have never even touched a girl's hand."
The two were already feeling bad because of his absence from the game, and now they were even more desperate.
Yuchi Lianping continued, "You don't understand normality. When it comes to how a couple gets along, body shape is also an important factor. Otherwise, why do you think I became the princess's consort and not someone else?"
Zhang Chi glared and said: "It's because Lord Ji..." was not in the city at that time, so he was taken advantage of.
Yuchi Lianping covered his mouth with his big hand.
He stopped Zhang Chi from saying anything, then threatened him with a hooked mouth: "Of course it's because I am both beautiful inside and out, handsome in appearance, and as tall as a jade tree."
Jade tree... This has to be at least a big locust tree that three people can hug.
Feng Xiang knew this man's temper, so he followed his words and said, "Your Highness is right. A husband's figure is also his wife's glory."
Yuchi Lianping patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are very good. When you get married, I will teach you more about how to get along with your spouse."
Feng Xiang was a strong man, but when he was hit like that, he felt his bones vibrate.
Princess Huachang sat below the emperor.
Without that rude man to disturb her, she drank tea comfortably with exquisite snacks.
Concubine Wei also returned to the high platform. Although she was unhappy because Ji Qingwu shot her target, she did not show her dissatisfaction.
She held the Suihou Pearl in her hand, sat beside the emperor, and whispered something to him with a sweet smile.
Everyone saw Emperor Wu Su's eyes wandering to the side of the stands, and he nodded indifferently as a response.
Concubine Wei put the Suihou Pearl back into the brocade box in dismay and handed it to the maid behind her for safekeeping.
One of the clan members said: "The last arrow shot by Concubine Wei was truly magnificent. Only this national treasure is worthy of the Concubine."
Wei Liru forced a smile on her face and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Madam Fuguo."
In the last arrow, who shoots the most brilliantly? Anyone with eyes will see.
It was obvious that the fifth young lady of the Ji family was better at archery, but she was not aiming for a place.
Princess Huachang didn't bother to pay attention to these people's false compliments. She looked in Ji Qingwu's direction with surprise in her eyes.
At this moment, Ji Qingwu was surrounded by a crowd of people. She was surrounded by a group of ladies, and her emerald green figure was mostly blocked.
Princess Huachang took a closer look and recognized that many of them were families of military generals who were on good terms with Yuchi Lianping, most of whom had unmarried sons.
One of them was the mother of Feng Xiang, one of his lieutenant generals.
Princess Huachang looked up at the emperor's face again. He still looked unkind, cold and distant.
If his right hand had not been clenched into a fist under his sleeve, Princess Huachang would have really believed that Emperor Wu Su did not care.
She suppressed her smile and said, "Your Majesty, during the shooting of the arrows just now, I saw that Miss Ji had inherited the style of the ancients, so I asked her to come up and watch the game together, what do you think?"
Emperor Wu Su nodded expressionlessly, but loosened his right fist.
*
Ji Qingwu was surrounded in the center, and even the Qiao family was squeezed to the outer circle.
Many of the military commanders' families were generous and straightforward. They stated their intentions directly and started to meet each other on the spot.
A lady was pointing at a man shooting arrows in the audience and asked Ji Qingwu, "Miss Ji Wu, the man in blue is my son. He is good at both literature and martial arts. What do you think?"
Ji Qingwu didn't even see the person clearly, and quickly said, "Very good."
The lady on the right heard her say this, and twisted her arm unhappily, saying, "Miss Ji Wu, come and see my second son, the one who rides horses and shoots arrows in the southeast corner. He is now the head of the Lanling, and has great potential in the officialdom."
Ji Qingwu said awkwardly: "Not bad."
The lady behind her was asking what she was talking about...
When Li Yuzong appeared in front of Ji Qingwu, her eyes lit up.
