Chapter 464 My sister was bullied?
"Master Lin is full of confidence! It looks like we'll make a profit if we invest in it!"
Erbao's blood was boiling with excitement. He searched his body and found ten taels of silver as New Year's money. "I want one too..."
He saw Lin Ziyi winking at him secretly, Erbao understood and immediately changed his words, "I can't hit it!!"
Everyone laughed again.
Lin Ziyi grabbed a handful of arrows and jumped up and down to warm up, whetting everyone's appetite.
The last handful of ten arrows were all thrown out...
The meaning of "Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers" plus "Ten Linked Pots" is that ten arrows are thrown at the same time, but the ten arrows must land in ten pots at the same time to be considered successful.
As a result, Lin Ziyi's ten arrows hit nine of the pots. The last one spun around the mouth of the pot several times before falling out...
Didn’t win.
Almost there!
Everyone felt extremely sorry.
“Almost…”
"That's pretty strong too. I hit nine pots. If it were me, I wouldn't even hit three pots."
"Mr. Lin has something..."
"Hahahaha, thank you Mr. Lin for your generosity, and thank you everyone... I have my pocket money for today."
Lin Ziyi didn't feel embarrassed at all, and clasped his fists, "Hahahaha, excuse me for making a fool of myself, excuse me for making a fool of myself."
Erbao had to go up to divide the silver. He had invested twenty taels and got back two hundred taels. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Through the flower wall, the young ladies were also watching the excitement.
They all smiled with their lips pursed.
The maids around them were discussing casually, "Although Master Lin failed, he was still very impressive."
"The Lin family is indeed a great imperial merchant. One thousand taels of silver disappeared in the blink of an eye. Young Master Lin just wanted to have some fun..."
"That's right. If you use it on other people, it would be a waste of money. But if you use it on Master Lin, it's not a big deal."
"In my opinion, Master Lin seems to be letting everyone win on purpose, just to amuse everyone. If he really succeeds, it would be too much of a show... This is just the right amount of heat. He knows how to behave."
…
Such a big commotion here attracted Xuanhuang, Dabao and a group of old guys.
The young men were startled and saluted quickly.
Xuanhuang, Zhou Gong and others did not know Lin Ziyi.
Duke Zhou asked, "Whose family is this young man from? He is so handsome and energetic."
Everyone said that his grandson Liao Jiu was a good-looking boy, and he thought this child was not much worse, and was even more likable than Liao Jiu.
Why? Liao Jiu was always serious, how could he look as happy as this smiling young man?
Dabao introduced in a steady voice, "This is the young master of the Lin family, Lin Ziyi. He was the one who saved us in Shili Town before, risking his own life to help us defend against the assassination attempt by Baihua Tower."
Xuan Huang was in a good mood and laughed heartily, "So it's you! I thought you were born with three heads and six arms, and were exceptionally strong. I didn't expect you to be so handsome. I was wrong!"
It was rare for Emperor Xuan to make a joke, and everyone laughed along.
Lin Ziyi knelt down to pay his respects to Emperor Xuan.
Erbao continued to praise Lin Ziyi, "Uncle Emperor, Uncle Ziyi is a really good person. He is fearless in the face of danger, has the demeanor of a great general, and is loyal. I like Uncle Ziyi the most."
Xuan Huang smiled and nodded.
"Well, I see. He just let you win money, didn't he?"
Erbao's face flushed immediately. "Ahem, ahem, that... that's not true... Your Majesty, how did you find out?"
Lin Ziyi also blushed.
Xuan Huang laughed, and everyone else laughed too.
Xuan Huang asked Lin Ziyi some homely questions, such as how old he was, where he went to school, etc.
Lin Ziyi answered them one by one.
It made the other teenagers envious and jealous.
Since Xuan Huang had come here, he not only pulled Lin Ziyi aside to ask questions, but also picked out some good-looking young men on the spot and asked them one by one.
What family are you from? How old are you? Did you study literature or martial arts? What are you doing now?
The young men answered in fear and trepidation one by one. Some of their parents were standing by and saw that their children had caught the eye of Xuan Huang, and their faces were covered with visible wrinkles from smiling.
Finally, Emperor Xuan sighed, "If only all the young talents in our Da'an Kingdom were as outstanding as you, I would be so happy!"
Everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, knelt on the ground in unison.
Duke Zhou took the lead in chanting, "It will definitely happen. God bless Da'an, God bless our emperor!"
Everyone sang along, "God bless Da'an, God bless our emperor."
The female guests were playing and joking, while the male guests were extremely happy.
It was soon time for the banquet.
The two distinguished guests, the Crown Prince and the Empress, have arrived. They are the last guests of the day. As soon as they arrived, Liao Jiu brought them in to see Emperor Xuan. Just as Emperor Xuan was admiring the young talent, the Empress's face darkened.
Everyone naturally greeted the prince again. With Emperor Xuan present, the prince was a little reserved and his voice was not loud.
Xuanhuang frowned subconsciously.
The prince has been a little timid since he was young and can't handle big occasions. I used to think he was just young, and now he is ten years old, and he is still the same.
The lessons are not good.
The Empress said, "Yer had a cough this morning and wasn't in good spirits, so we're late. If it were someone else's banquet, we definitely wouldn't go, but we from Prince Xiaoxiang's Mansion can't miss out. Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late."
Xuan Huang waved his hand.
The Queen Mother motioned the Prince to stand beside Emperor Xuan. The Prince walked over and saluted, his behavior a bit like a mouse seeing a cat.
Everyone saw the Crown Prince standing on Xuan Huang's left and the Little Xiang Prince standing on his right. No matter how they looked at it, they all felt that the younger Little Xiang Prince was more eye-catching.
It's that kind of feeling that can attract your attention involuntarily, like a halo, a kind of demeanor.
It must be an illusion. The prince is so noble and has royal blood, how could he be inferior to Prince Xiaoxiang?
At this time, the eldest princess Xuanxiu came over, greeted the Queen Mother, and found an opportunity to whisper a few words into Emperor Xuan's ear.
Xuan Huang frowned, "Nanbao hit someone? She hit him back? Did Jiang teach her that?"
Xuanxiu hummed softly.
Xuan Huang pressed his forehead, which was his subconscious action when he encountered a difficult problem.
Dabao had sharp ears. He asked in a deep voice, "Princess sister, what's going on? My sister was bullied?"
The eldest princess Xuanxiu's first reaction was surprise. She and Emperor Xuan had been criticizing Jiang Lianzhu and her daughter in every word, saying that her daughter had hit people. But to the ears of Prince Xiaoxiang, it automatically turned into that his sister had been bullied?
She remembered that she hadn't felt this way for a long time. When the eldest prince was still alive, he would also care about her as his younger sister so much.
The eldest prince is gone, and there is no warmth and affection between the remaining brothers and sisters. They don’t interact with each other on a regular basis, and when they do interact, their interests are clearly defined.
Xuanxiu then recounted the incident of Nanbao beating someone, and how Jiang Lianzhu drove away the beaten ladies without a single word of apology, emphasizing this point.
Dabao said, "I was bullied, thank goodness I have mother here, otherwise I would have suffered among those unreasonable women who only bully others by taking advantage of their power. Which families are they from? Princess, could you please tell me so I can learn more about them and know people better in the future?"
The eldest princess...
The prince...
Xuanhuang...
