Shui Xiu left as she was told. After a while, she came back, followed by Jin Gu. Jin Gu bowed to Ling Ruoqian and said respectfully: "Master is inconvenient, so I asked this slave to thank Concubine Xi for her. Master also said
It is obvious to all that the second elder brother's archery skills are outstanding. Even if she had not said those words, the emperor would have let the second elder brother pass the competition. I really don't dare to take credit, let alone Concubine Xi, I don't dare to worry about it."
Listening to Jin Gu's beautiful words, Ling Ruo turned her head and looked in the direction of Mrs. Liu. When their eyes met, Mrs. Liu nodded and smiled. Ling Ruo also returned the same smile, withdrew her gaze and said to Jin Gu: "No matter.
No matter what, I accept the kindness of Noble Qian, so you can go back and serve Noble Qian."
"My slave, please leave." Jin Gu followed her words and left. Guarjia, who was sitting at the same table with Ling Ruo, chuckled and said, "Ms. Liu knows how to please you, but it's a pity that she doesn't know. No matter what she does, it will be useless."
Ling Ruo picked up the wine glass, looked at the light yellow wine inside and said, "Sister also said the word "please". She doesn't really treat me well, but she just wants to make a deal. Such a person is not worthy of my sincere friendship."
Guarjia said with a smile: "Yes, yes, being able to be treated sincerely by Concubine Xi is really a blessing that I, Guarjia Yunyue, have cultivated over many lifetimes."
"Sister always makes fun of me." After spat like this, Ling Ruo sighed: "Actually, when it comes to blessings, I am the truly blessed person. I have sisters and Sister Wen who treat me sincerely."
Seeing her in this state, Guarjia knew that she was thinking of Wen Ruyan again, so she patted her hand and said, "Stop talking about this. In short, you and I will be good sisters throughout our lives."
"Well, for the rest of my life." When she said these words, Ling Ruo couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in her heart. She was afraid that one day, the Guarjia family would leave her like Wen Ruyan.
In this harem, I really became a loner.
No, she will not allow the same thing to happen again. Even if she risks her life, she must protect Sister Yun's safety. She must.
After lunch, we rested for an hour. The second competition, which was also the last competition, officially started. There was only one requirement for this competition, which was to slide to the designated position as quickly as possible and get the lottery ticket hanging there.
Just throw a ball, but don't think it's easy. The palace people moved many tree stumps and stood them on the ice lake, which made walking on the ice a lot more difficult.
And this time, unlike before, multiple people can be hit by arrows. This time, there is only one winner.
Hong Shi and other twenty-nine people stood side by side on the other side of the ice lake. They were all ready and could walk across the ice as quickly as possible after being ordered. But this time, Hong Chang and Hong Min stood on both sides of Hong Shi.
, and with the morning’s experience, Hongshi already fully believed in the two of them.
Countless pairs of eyes in the sky above and below and in the nearby simple buildings are staring at these twenty-nine people, wondering who among these twenty-nine people will win the final victory and possess the jade ring.
"Fourth brother, you must win!" Hong Zhou kept thinking silently in his heart, and his expression was a bit more nervous than Hong Li's on the field.
As the eunuch who delivered the order raised his whip, everyone's hearts were in suspense and they were staring at the whip. At the same time, a voice as thin as a mosquito came from Hongshi's ears, "Second brother, wait a minute.
My son, you walk on the left side of the ice, there are fewer obstacles there, and the two of us will protect you with all our strength."
It was Hongchang who spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch who ordered him had already shaken off his long whip, and a crisp crack of the whip spread throughout the ice lake.
As soon as the whip was fired, Hongshi walked on the ice to the left according to what he just heard. There were indeed fewer stakes here than in the forest. He controlled the skates under his feet to walk between the stakes. With the help of Hongchang and others, he
He was always at the front, but the people behind him were also following closely, so he didn’t have much advantage. Hongli ranked second.
Six, in addition to Hongshi and the other three, there were two other people in front of him. One of these two people was thin and looked a little sickly, but they walked extremely fast on the ice. The two who followed him were
He is a dark and thick boy. Despite his stout figure, his movements are extremely flexible and he can avoid wooden stakes in time every time he encounters them.
Looking at the twenty-nine people chasing each other on the ice, not giving in to each other, even Ling Ruo couldn't help but become nervous, clutching the tea cup but not taking a sip.
The wooden piles were knocked down one after another. Once these wooden piles fell on the ice, it would be a real disaster. Many people behind them hit the wooden piles and fell to the ground because they could not hold back. Although it was not a serious problem, they would not be able to stand up again after getting up.
If you chase, the distance will undoubtedly be shortened, making it difficult to catch up again.
Later, the battle for first place focused on Hong Shi and Hong Li, while the others were far behind.
Hongshi took the time to glance behind him, and seeing those people chasing after them so closely, he couldn't help but feel angry, and said to Hongchang beside him: "Find a way to stop the people behind me."
"Second brother, don't worry." Seeing Hongshi taking the initiative to give the order, Hongchang agreed without hesitation. However, Hongshi's turning back this time also made him almost hit the wooden stake in front of him. Fortunately, Hongmin saw the opportunity quickly, stepped harder, and stepped on
Hongshi hit him first, and under his intentional control, the wooden stake did not hinder Hongli in any way, allowing him to slide forward quickly. However, it was inevitable that Hongmin would be eliminated.
After Hongshi and Hongchang slipped away, Hongmin, who fell to the ground, deliberately dragged the wooden stake and rolled it in. His eyes were on the thin and sick young man.
Seeing the wooden pile rolling towards him, a coldness flashed across the eyes of the thin young man quickly, and then he did something that everyone expected. He actually jumped up and jumped from the wooden pile.
Jump over it and then stop firmly on the ice.
"Huh, if there's anything special about it, I can do it too." The strong black boy who followed behind muttered, and then he also jumped up and jumped over the wooden stakes, leaving two deep marks on the ice.
Hongmin was stunned by the actions of these two people. He never imagined that they had such a hand. If they were jumping on the flat ground, it didn't matter how high they were. But this was ice, extremely smooth, and the momentum when they fell was very difficult to remove.
, almost always ends up falling down, but both of them jumped over and were unscathed.
On that side, Hong Zhou had already stood up nervously and said eagerly: "Oh no, fourth brother can't jump!"
It wasn't long before Hongli really started learning to walk on the ice. Although he learned quickly, jumping was still too difficult for him. Even Hongzhou didn't dare to do it. I really don't know how those two people practiced it.
of.
Just when Hong Zhou's nervous heart was about to jump out of his chest, Hong Li had already reached the horizontal wooden stake. He did not imitate the two men and jump over it because he was not sure, but it did not mean that he had nothing to do.
