Princess Yunying also glanced at the half-burned incense, snorted, and excused herself, "I didn't say I wanted to participate in this round of competition."
"Oh. Then the princess must be preparing to participate in the next round." Xia Tian looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "I believe that no matter which round the princess participates in, she will definitely crush everyone."
"Stop your sarcastic remarks. It's not your turn to say whether this princess participates or not," Yun Ying said tyrannically. "This princess is determined to compete with you today. You have no right to refuse."
"Princess, this is a bit unreasonable. You can't compare your strengths with my weaknesses?" Xia Tian pretended to be helpless.
Princess Yunying is becoming more and more brazen. She can even say such words in such an occasion.
Is this because she is afraid that others don’t know that she is thinking about Chen Nian?
"Since you said so, this princess will not bully you. You can choose any of the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting." Yun Ying had a condescending expression.
"Then let's have a competition in playing the erhu. I'm good at it." Xia Tian said leisurely.
Yunying was stunned. "This one won't work. Try another one."
"Change it?" Xia Tian patted his forehead in mock distress, "But this is what I'm best at."
"Erhu won't work. You have to choose between pipa and guzheng." Yunying said domineeringly.
After hearing what Princess Yunying said, Xia Tian understood that this was probably the reason why Yunying invited her to the poetry meeting.
That is to make her lose face in front of everyone, and he really won't miss any opportunity to embarrass her.
But there were many ladies at the scene who could not compose poetry, and it was useless for her to force them.
Proposing a competition in music, chess, calligraphy and painting now naturally has no good intentions.
But would Xia Tian do as she wished? That was obviously impossible.
Although she couldn't attack her directly, Yun Ying couldn't try to take advantage of her in other aspects.
"I don't know how to do this, Princess, please try another one."
"No? Then just admit your defeat in public, kneel down and kowtow three times to me, and I will consider letting you go." Yun Ying raised her chin and said proudly.
Xia Tian thought for a moment and suggested, "Princess, I suddenly thought of a good idea. How about we have a competition? I'm sure you and I both know how to do this."
"What?"
"Slap in the face!" Xia Tian smiled and raised his right hand to gesture, "I slap you, and you slap me back. Whoever gets slapped to the ground first loses. How about it?"
"You!" Princess Yunying took a step back unconsciously and raised one hand to cover her face.
Xia Tian took a step forward and said, "How about this suggestion? It wouldn't be so troublesome, and we wouldn't need a judge. Maybe a slap could decide the winner. I can guarantee that."
"You dare to hit me?" Yun Ying said in disbelief.
Xia Tian was still smiling, "My princess, you are wrong. How dare I hit you? This is just a competition, isn't it? It's just the content of the competition."
"Madman. Who would compete in something like this? It's immoral." Princess Yunying took another step back. "What a waste of my time."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with a group of people behind him.
Xia Tian called out from behind, "Princess, this is really all I know. If you have considered it, you can come to me."
"Little guy, who are you looking down on? If she dares to compete with me today, I'll let her know how people are slapped to the ground."
Really, he keeps causing trouble for her, does he really think she is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed at will?
Wen Jin and the other two who didn't participate in this round saw Princess Yunying leave angrily and gave Xia Tian a thumbs up, "You are still awesome!"
Xia Tian slapped their hands down in amusement, "Stop it, I'm tired."
You said that with so many people here today, Princess Yunying dared to cause trouble for her in person. Where did she get the confidence from?
After all, she now holds the title of the Crown Prince's Wife of the Marquis of Wu'an!
Doesn't Princess Ruihua care about this? Isn't this also putting her own reputation at risk?
Unless Princess Ruihua also has a crush on Chen Nian.
Xia Tian narrowed his eyes slightly when he thought of this.
Humph, her man is not that easy to keep in mind.
After several more rounds of competition, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Xiatian didn't go around to look around, but just waited there until their game was over.
At noon, Princess Ruihua arranged a banquet. After eating and drinking, everyone was free to move around in the courtyard, enjoying the flowers and drinking tea.
I have to say that the scenery of this villa is still very beautiful.
There were many peonies and herbaceous peonies in the yard, and people gathered in groups of three or five to appreciate the flowers and drink tea.
After sitting all morning, it's a good time to move around after dinner. Xiatian takes Ningxue for a walk by the lake.
The sun is shining brightly today, and the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. Walking by the lake with the breeze blowing is very comfortable.
The weeping willow branches by the lake danced in the wind, dispelling the gloom in people's hearts.
In summer, I was in a good mood and walked with Ningxue while enjoying the scenery.
No one knew where Wen Jin and the other two had gone. It was rare that no one disturbed them at this time. After walking for a while, the master and servant found a big willow tree, spread their handkerchiefs on the grass and sat down to rest.
Ningxue took a willow branch and stirred the water by the lake to see if there were any fish swimming over.
There were not many people around at the moment, so Xia Tian ignored her and just told her to be careful not to fall.
Ningxue stirred it for a while, then suddenly shouted excitedly, "Madam, there are fish here!"
"Where? Where?" Xia Tian became interested when he heard there were fish. He quickly stood up, patted his clothes and ran to Ningxue's side to look into the lake.
"Here, here." Ningxue pointed the willow branch to Xia Tian, "Look, it's red."
"Really?" Xia Tian looked in the direction Ningxue pointed, and sure enough, there was a red fish swimming there.
The two continued to squat by the lake, teasing the fish with willow branches like little children, chattering away.
"What are you two doing?" A voice came from the left. Xia Tian looked up and saw that Wen Jin, Lin Sayu and Hu Mengyao were walking towards them.
The three of them were still some distance away from each other at this moment, and it was Hu Mengyao who had spoken just now.
The two of them were so focused on playing that they didn't pay much attention to the people around them.
Where they were staying, young ladies who had just participated in the poetry competition came and went one after another, so the two of them didn't take it seriously and squatted by the lake to watch the fish in the water.
"Be careful!" Lin Sayu suddenly shouted and ran over here.
Xia Tian hadn't reacted yet and was about to stand up to greet the three people when suddenly, she felt a force from behind her and she lunged forward uncontrollably, falling into the lake in front of her with a splash.
"Ah!!" Ningxue, who was squatting next to Xia Tian, screamed in fright, only to find that it was her wife who fell down.
He quickly reached out and tried to pull Xia Tian up.
Xiatian struggled in the lake for a few times before he could steady himself. Fortunately, the water was not too deep at the edge of the lake.
At this moment, Lin Sayu had already run over.
