Li Chengxuan didn't know Song Jinning's little girl in his heart, and thought that her skill in throwing pots was really not very good.
I was proud of it. But then I thought that Song Jinning is a woman after all, not as strong as a man, and not as good as he has learned bow, knife and arrow, it is normal that he is not as good at throwing pots as he is.
Relying on these advantages, even if he really wins her, it seems that he won't be able to win by force.
He called Song Jinning: "Stand a few steps forward."
Since it is a game with winners and losers, for the sake of fairness, there are rules on where to stand and vote. Li Chengxuan asked Song Jinning to stand a few steps forward, but he was already giving way to her.
Song Jinning looked back at him in surprise.
Didn't expect him to be good at taking care of people. Now she is so embarrassed that she abused him so badly, what should I do
But after thinking about it, she thought again, this person, only when he knows his own shortcomings will he be motivated to move forward, and only then will he understand the truth that there are mountains beyond the mountains, and heaven beyond the sky, so let's do what we should.
But later, she can ask someone to go to the small kitchen and tell her to prepare a few more of Li Chengxuan's favorite dishes for dinner.
Having made up her mind, Song Jinning held the arrow shaft in her hand.
Different from the soft throwing technique just now, this time the arrow shaft seemed to have life as soon as it was in Song Jinning's hands.
Aiming at the small mouth of the pot, Song Jinning raised her hand neatly and threw it.
The shaft of the arrow was like a shooting star, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and with a bang, it precisely fell into the spout of the pot.
Throw again, hit again. In just a few breaths, all ten arrow shafts have been thrown out, and all of them hit without any surprise.
Bai Lu couldn't hold back, clapped her hands excitedly and said hello.
Gu Yu raised her hands and silently covered her face.
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a compromise. Empress, I just ask you to abuse me a little bit now.
As for Li Chengxuan, he stood there in shock and didn't react for a while.
I always felt that Song Jinning's aura changed at that moment. The shaft of the arrow is not an arrow shaft, but a long rainbow piercing the sun, rushing through the gully and flowing clouds, not to mention the power of wind and thunder, it is also unstoppable for ordinary people. What's more, it was just thrown into a pot twenty steps away.
There was a feeling in Li Chengxuan's heart instantly. He will lose.
But as proud as he is, even knowing the result, he will never admit defeat easily.
After calming down his turbulent mood, he gritted his teeth and picked up the shaft of the arrow, never daring to have the slightest bit of contempt.
Then he did play his extraordinary level, but even so he could only hit nine arrows at most every time.
On the other hand, Song Jinning, obviously saw that she didn't have too many fancy gestures, and she didn't seem to make too much effort. She just threw one by one slowly, but every one was able to hit the spout accurately.
In an instant, the remaining six innings had been thrown, and the result was obvious.
Except for the previous four rounds, Song Jinning hit ten out of ten shots in the next six rounds.
Song Jinning won. There is no suspense in winning.
There was a moment of silence in the courtyard.
Except for Gu Yu and Bai Lu who knew Song Jinning's strength for a long time, everyone else was dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Throwing Pot would be so powerful that Her Majesty could be compared...
As for Li Chengxuan, his handsome face flushed slightly.
Not out of embarrassment, but: "Did you deliberately miss the shot earlier, so that I could relax my guard against you?"
He looked straight at Song Jinning, and he gritted his teeth when he asked.
What do you say? What does it mean to let you relax your guard against me? It's not that your words of belittling me earlier provoked me, so I planned to abuse you.
Ordinary abuse is so boring, if you want to abuse, you have to be a little big.
But it seems a little bad if you say this directly? How about she be more tactful
So Song Jinning put her hands together and said with a smile: "No. It's not that I haven't played this game for a long time, and my hands are a little raw, so that's why the first few rounds are like that."
what is this? Li Chengxuan thought angrily in his heart, am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose? You have to use this kind of lie to deceive me.
He snorted softly. Li Chengxuan paused, but still couldn't help asking Song Jinning: "What else do you have?"
Song Jinning blinked.
This means that you haven't been abused enough, and you still want to seek abuse
"Your Majesty, do you still want to compete with me?"
"Yes!" Li Chengxuan gritted his teeth secretly, "You will tell me everything."
This His Majesty's competitive spirit seems to be very strong.
However, Song Jinning still kindly suggested: "Your Majesty, in fact, you can compete with me in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I am definitely not as good as you in these things."
Li Chengxuan snorted softly.
What kind of skills are you not good at compared to you? If you want to compare with me, you have to compare those things you are good at.
Even if I lose to you now, I will definitely win back in the future.
The two of them turned back to the hall, the servant girl came over with water to wash their hands, while Gu Yu and Bai Lu brought tea and cakes respectively.
It is a plate of Saqima, a plate of kidney bean rolls and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus mung bean cake.
Song Jinning didn't have much appetite, but just picked up a kidney bean roll and ate it.
As for Li Chengxuan, I don't know if the cakes made by the chef in this small kitchen are very suitable for his appetite, or if he needs to replenish his energy after throwing the pot just now, or if he turned his grief and anger into food, in short, he eats quite a lot.
Eat a piece of pastry and drink two sips of tea.
Right now, he had just drank tea, and reached out to take a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the plate to eat, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a white shadow whizzing towards Song Jinning.
Li Chengxuan was taken aback, and quickly raised his eyes to look over.
It was a snow-white cat, acting coquettishly and foolishly at Song Jinning. Song Jinning seemed to like it very much, and raised her hand from its head to touch its back.
Isn't she quite skilled at stroking cats
That's not enough, Song Jinning reached out and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the plate, brought it to the cat's mouth, and coaxed it softly: "Qiaoqiu, come, have a bite."
Li Chengxuan looked down at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.
Can he still eat it
He threw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that hadn't taken a bite back into the plate.
Then he suddenly reacted: "Qiaoqiu?"
Before Song Jinning was taking a lunch break, he accidentally bumped into her, and she just muttered, don't make trouble.
Song Jinning didn't know there was such a public case at all. Hearing Li Chengxuan's question, he thought he was cute watching football, or thought that the name Qiuqiu was a good choice.
He just held Qiuqiu's two front legs, and lifted it up to show Li Chengxuan as if showing off.
"That's right. You see, the cats all over its body are white. Does it look like a snowball when it's clumped together? So I named him Snowball, nicknamed Qiuqiu. Isn't it very vivid?"
After looking at each other for a while, Li Chengxuan turned his eyes away.
What does this thing eat every day? How big a snowball must be when it is grouped together
The point is that this guy is not conscious at all. Obviously fat and chubby, the big one still thinks of itself as a little milk cat.
Not only meowing meowing, but also keeping his head in Song Jinning's palm.
Forget it or don't read it. It's just an eyesore to see too much.
Li Chengxuan hummed perfunctorily, took the tureen and drank tea.
As soon as he took a sip, Gu Yu came over and said to Song Jinning: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Amber sent someone to pass a sign in, saying that she heard that the Empress Dowager is ill, and she wants to visit the palace tomorrow."
This Tong Anbo is the half-brother of the Empress Dowager Song and the King of Nanyang County, so Song Jinning wants to call him Second Uncle.
When the first emperor passed away, Li Chengxuan ascended the throne as emperor and honored Concubine Song Xian as the empress dowager. Naturally, there were rewards for the empress dowager's natal family.
Needless to say, Song Jinning's father, even her second uncle was granted the title of Tong Amber.
However, there is only a title, which is just good-looking, and has no real power at all.
Tong Amber was naturally unwilling. I met the Empress Dowager Song several times and wanted to ask for an official position.
It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Song has not been close to this younger brother since she was a child, and secondly, this Tong Amber is indeed not intelligent, and he is arrogant and greedy. The Empress Dowager Song is worried that if he is given real power, he will ruin the reputation of their Song family outside , so I have been refusing to let go.
Later, he got annoyed with Amber, so he directly refused to see him on the grounds that foreign men were not suitable for entering the harem.
But Tong Amber didn't give up.
Foreign men should not enter the harem, right? Then let his wife and daughter pass the sign into the palace from time to time, asking to see the Empress Dowager Song, and then beat around the bush and talk about what the officials want to do.
After all, the same surname is Song, and the Empress Dowager Song can't go too far, so I still meet four or five times out of ten.
Since Song Jinning entered the palace and became a queen, she and Mrs. Amber handed over signs several times, but Song Jinning found reasons to stop them from going back. As for now, Song Jinning didn't dare to make decisions on her own.
After all, the pretext was to enter the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Song.
So he told Gu Yu: "Go to Shoukang Palace and ask the Empress Dowager what it means."
The Empress Dowager Song is the one involved, if she wants to meet, she can meet, if she doesn't want to, then Song Jinning will take the matter back.
Gu Yu agreed to go, and Song Jinning continued to play the snowball. Occasionally, Li Chengxuan asked her something and she would answer it.
Li Chengxuan found that getting along with Song Jinning is really a very easy and pleasant thing.
First of all, she never asks about government affairs, and never even mentions her natal family and Queen Mother Song in front of him; secondly, she never has nothing to say.
If you ask her something, she will answer it, if you don't ask her anything, she will happily do her own thing, and will never take the initiative to bother him.
Not to mention that he would deliberately do a lot of things to get his favor.
Li Chengxuan looked at it coldly several times, and finally understood the reason.
This person didn't treat him as an emperor at all, and he didn't care what he thought of her at all, that's why she was so relaxed in front of him. Even every time he came to Weiyang Palace, Song Jinning still thought of ways to drive him out.
Although according to what Song Jinning said earlier, the two of them are contract couples, Li Chengxuan was still very surprised that the contract came to be like this.
What surprised him even more was that he occasionally wanted to take a walk in Weiyang Palace when he was tired from government affairs.
Because the place is clean and comfortable, Song Jinning will never bother him no matter what he thinks.
For example, right now, he is leaning on the backrest with his right leg bent and lost in thought (actually he is in a daze), Song Jinning would never advise him to sit upright as an emperor, blah blah, blah blah. On the contrary, she herself, as a queen, didn't have the slightest sense of maternity, she was also leaning on the pillow, reading a book in her hand, and slowly stroking the cat.
The cat thought it was comfortable being stroked, closed its eyes, and let out a soft purring sound from its throat.
It was dusk, and the setting sun slanted through the window and fell on the person and the cat. For some reason, Li Chengxuan suddenly thought of the four words "Time is quiet and good".
When he reacted, he was almost scared to death by himself.
For someone like Song Jinning, he would play tricks on him whenever he had the chance. What could be related to the words Sui Yuejing Hao
