Chapter 23 Competition

Chapter 23 Competition

Because of the appearance of King Wei, Princess Yueyao also restrained herself.

After all, although she is a princess in name, she is not the daughter of Emperor Honghui.

Her father was the third prince of the previous dynasty, so she wanted to call King Wei the sixth uncle.

King Wei moved his eyes away from Xiao Xixi, glanced in front of the ladies one by one, and then said: "Yue Yao, you are the master today, and you must entertain all the ladies."

Princess Yueyao nodded reluctantly.

Although today is to choose a concubine for King Wei, as a man, King Wei has no reason to continue to stay with the ladies. After saying these words, he sat down in his seat.

Princess Yueyao wanted to cause trouble for Xiao Xixi, but she could only give up for the time being and plan to wait for the opportunity later.

She glanced at Xiao Xixi unkindly, flicked her sleeves and left, followed by several noble ladies.

The imperial garden has arranged all the necessary things and is waiting for the ladies to show them.

Xiao Xixi didn't plan to show off today, or she came just for Leng Moran's satisfaction. Her purpose of coming had been achieved, and there was no need to show off anymore.

As for choosing a concubine, she didn't really care.

The only thing that was disappointing was that she was in trouble and didn't have time to show off her outstanding acting skills, and she couldn't earn points.

Xiao Xiaorou didn't think so.

She clasped her hands together and was so anxious that she almost drew blood from her palms.

Today was her only chance. If she couldn't seize it, she might really have to marry that poor scholar.

How could she be willing?

Xiao Xiaorou summoned up the courage to ask: "Second sister, don't we go to compete?"

Xiao Xixi looked at her. The delicate and beautiful girl was not satisfied with the marriage arranged at home and hoped to make a difference today.

However, she is just a concubine. Even if she can be chosen, she will be a concubine. Her mother has already said that the Xiao family will not let their daughter become a concubine.

Xiao Xixi took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "I won't go."

Xiao Xiaorou's face turned a little ugly.

Xiao Xixi noticed Xiao Xiaorou's expression with her peripheral vision and just sighed in her heart.

She couldn't control everyone, and the third sister of the original owner was not a good person, so she didn't want to care. She had to walk her own path, and it was her own choice to decide what to do in the future.

Realizing that there were eyes staring at her from a distance, Xiao Xixi raised her head and looked over, and found that it was King Wei who was looking at her tenderly.

Xiao Xixi frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over.

The King of Wei in the book married a lady from the Lu family and had no connection with the original owner, but she always felt that King Wei knew her.

Xiao Xixi changed her mind. Instead of sitting here and being stared at, she might as well go to the crowd and participate in various competitions so that King Wei would not follow her.

She stood up, and Xiao Xiaorou immediately asked: "Second sister, are you going to undress?"

"No, let's go and have a look." Xiao Xixi pointed to the crowd who were competing in the pot throwing competition.

"I'm with the second sister." Xiao Xiaorou also quickly stood up and followed.

King Wei's eyes followed Xiao Xixi, and when he saw someone walking away, he moved his body and prepared to stand up, but was patted on the shoulder and sat back down.

"Uncle Sixth Emperor, we haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you and I play a game of chess?" Leng Moran smiled lightly at King Wei.



Xiao Xixi walked to Touhu, confirmed that King Wei had not followed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around again, she found Princess Yueyao looking at her provocatively.

"Since Miss Xiao Er is here, why not give me a try?"

The words were of discussion, but the tone was unquestionable, and he even directly asked the palace servants to hand Xiao Xixi the arrows for throwing pots.

Xiao Xixi did not reach out to take it, but said: "I don't plan to compete today, so I won't accompany you."

Lu Jiaojiao said in a strange tone: "Miss Xiao Er is afraid, right? There are rumors that Miss Xiao Er is very good at riding and shooting, as good as men. She doesn't know how to throw pots, right?"

No?

Of course the original owner knows it, but she doesn't.

Just when I was about to fight back, the system prompted me.

[Ding! Please pay attention to the character of the host. According to Xiao Xiaoyu’s temper, he will definitely agree and slap them in the face. 】

Xiao Xixi replied to the system in her heart: "You said it was Xiao Xiaoyu. Although my identity is Xiao Xiaoyu now, do I have her skills? I dare to agree. If I dare to agree, it will only be more embarrassing, okay?"

Xiao Xixi was so angry that she opened her mouth and was about to attack Lu Jiaojiao. What are you talking about? If she has the ability, can she throw a pot?

[Ask the host to complete the pot throw, and the system will give you a bonus to ensure that the host can hit the pot. 】

Is this so?

Xiao Xixi's anger was dissipated and she was no longer angry with Lu Jiaojiao, but took the arrow.

[The tool has been specially processed and is difficult to hit. The host can feint a shot to make the opponent relax. 】

"Okay, this is quite interesting." Xiao Xixi raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"Since it's a test, how about we find out as soon as possible. Each person has three arrows. Whoever hits more arrows will win. How about that?"

Princess Yueyao lazily said: "Okay."

"Princess please come first."

Princess Yueyao picked up an arrow, looked at Xiao Xixi contemptuously, and then looked away.

Princess Yueyao shot the first arrow and hit it.

The noble ladies showered with compliments.

When Xiao Xixi was about to vote, the ladies looked at her. Some were scornful, some were worried, but Princess Yueyao looked calm.

It is not difficult to guess that this arrow was made by Princess Yueyao. Except for her, no one else present had the chance to do such a thing in the palace.

Xiao Xixi deliberately appeared not to care, and pretended to miss, and the first arrow missed.

Princess Yueyao had a smile on her face: "Miss Xiao Er is nothing more than that."

Xiao Xixi said nothing and signaled Princess Yueyao to continue.

Princess Yueyao was angry and disdainful of Xiao Xixi, so the second arrow missed.

"It doesn't matter." Princess Yueyao said shamelessly, and threw another arrow, and this time it hit.

Xiao Xixi didn't say much and picked up the two remaining arrows in her hand at the same time.

The ladies started discussing.

"What if she wants to throw two arrows at the same time?"

"The princess's first two arrows hit the target. Even if she hits the target, it will be a draw at best, but she can't win."

"Who dares to defeat the princess? Maybe Miss Xiao Er lost her first arrow on purpose."

"Don't you dare to win? Then you underestimate Miss Xiao Er too much. There is nothing she dares not do."

Two arrows flew into the air and hit them simultaneously in the next moment. Under everyone's gaze, the two arrows thrown by Princess Yueyao actually bounced out.

"What happened? Why did it pop up?"

"Does this count as the princess losing?"

"It doesn't count. Anyway, it was a hit at the beginning. If it pops up again, you can't blame the princess."

"The princess barely managed to hit the target, so it's not surprising that it fell out. Miss Xiao Er is still very good, she can hit two arrows at the same time."

When Princess Yueyao saw this scene, her face suddenly felt dull, and she didn't care about confusing right and wrong.

She didn't vote again, and instead looked at Xiao Xixi with a smile: "Miss Xiao, I accept."

When the ladies heard this, they understood that the princess was being unreasonable. Although there were marks on the arrows, whatever she said was hers was hers.

Xiao Xixi did not intend to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb. She said: "The princess is so young, but her eyes are so bad? She can't even tell which ones are her own."

Princess Yueyao blushed angrily: "Xiao Xiaoyu, what do you mean by this!"

Xiao Xixi looked at her calmly: "You should know better than anyone what the princess did to the arrow."
