It was still a palace banquet, and Feng Mei was clamoring to compete with Shi Qingxue in archery skills.
It stands to reason that this is against the rules.
But the amazing thing is that no one took the initiative to stop it.
Most people were watching just to watch the excitement. Even Mo Xiangbin didn't say anything when he saw it.
Shi Qingxue thought about it secretly for a moment, and then understood the thoughts of the superior, and immediately followed Feng Mei to the competition venue with more confidence.
The competition place was also located in the Imperial Garden, which occupied a large open space, but it did not affect the singing and dancing at the banquet.
But in the current environment, it is estimated that not many people are still thinking about singing and dancing performances.
Feng Mei took the bow and arrow first, but turned to look at Shi Qingxue hypocritically, "How about you come first, I don't mind."
He said he didn't mind, but his hand still held the bow tightly.
Shi Qingxue chuckled lightly, knowing that Feng Mei wanted to show off, she immediately waved her hand and said with a smile: "You go first!"
Feng Mei wanted to give Shi Qingxue a blow, so of course she wouldn't be polite.
He immediately took the sharp arrow, aimed at the target and shot it.
Hit the red heart.
It was fast and accurate, and the onlookers immediately burst into cheers.
Feng Mei was so proud that she turned to Shi Qingxue and showed a provocative smile.
Shi Qingxue watched calmly, not anxious or angry, but it made Dongshuang next to her very angry. She couldn't help but whisper: "What are you so proud of? Our Liu Niang's archery skills are much better than yours!" "
"Okay, stop mumbling like a child, let's just watch the show quietly!"
In fact, Feng Mei's shooting skills are indeed worthy of her arrogance.
She shot out ten sharp arrows, and they all hit the red heart, and the good target was inserted into the flower.
The applause from all around was as loud as thunder, and Feng Mei walked to the target proudly. She turned back and smiled openly at Shi Qingxue, as if asking: With my results, how are you going to beat me
Feng Mei's pride is not without reason.
Hitting all ten arrows is already the best result. Even if Shi Qingxue takes action, it will be nothing more than that.
Now Feng Mei is in the limelight, and she is the first to shoot an arrow. Many people watching want to flatter her, and they will definitely say that she is great.
Feng Mei smiled brightly, as if she had seen Shi Qingxue admit defeat to her.
Everyone seemed to see Shi Qingxue giving up.
However, to everyone's surprise, Shi Qingxue not only did not give up, but instead took the new bow and arrow handed over by the servant.
Without even saying hello, under the astonished eyes of everyone, Shi Qingxue moved a small step to the left, and then shot the first arrow.
The sharp arrow flew out and almost grazed Feng Mei's hair.
Life and death only lasted a moment. After the sharp arrow passed by, it hit Feng Mei's body directly, making a "snap" impact sound, and then the two sharp arrows hit the ground at the same time.
The incident happened so quickly that no one could react.
Feng Mei was so frightened that her eyes were wide open, her face was pale and frightened, her legs were trembling, and her whole body looked shaky.
What happened next directly became an eternal nightmare in Feng Mei's short life.
Shi Qingxue then pulled out a second arrow from the quiver, aimed and shot again, this time it flew close to Feng Mei's ear, and then also hit Feng Mei's arrow, and then fell to the ground together.
The first brush with death is enough to frighten a person for half his life; and the second time after that is enough to scare the person out of his wits. Not to mention running away, he cannot even move.
And if it happens ten times in succession, that person will probably be scared and numb.
Shi Qingxue followed suit, shooting the ten sharp arrows in the quiver in the same way and with the same thrill.
Every arrow seemed to be able to kill Feng Mei, and every arrow knocked off the arrow Feng Mei shot on the target.
After ten shots, Feng Mei could no longer hold on and fell to the ground slumped. The target was empty except for ten less obvious punctures.
Feng Mei's servant on the side was so frightened that she shed tears when Shi Qingxue shot the arrow, but the sharp arrow was no joke, and she stayed in place and did not dare to move.
It wasn't until Shi Qingxue only had a bow left in her hand that she rushed to help Feng Mei up in a panic and asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay? If it doesn't matter, I'll call you a doctor."
Shi Qingxue had enough time to admire Feng Mei's ugly appearance, and then said slowly: "I'm sorry, Mei Niang's superb shooting skills made Qingxue want to compete. I was a little anxious just now. Didn't I scare you?"
Not only scared, but scared to death, okay!
The Feng family maid was furious and wanted to yell at Shi Qingxue, but Feng Mei held her hand with an ugly expression and stopped the conversation.
Nonsense, it was Feng Mei who said it was a competition in the beginning.
It was Feng Mei who sought death herself and walked to the archery target to show off her power. What's more, although Shi Qingxue's dangerous actions, she did not hurt Feng Mei.
If Feng Mei accuses Shi Qingxue at this time, not only will she not be favored, but it will also make people think that she, the eldest daughter of the Feng family, is too pretentious.
Feng Mei wanted to tear Shi Qingxue into pieces for scaring her, but she couldn't show it on her face. She could only glare at Shi Qingxue with resentment on her face.
Shi Qingxue didn't feel any pain from being stared at.
Originally, if Feng Mei didn't come to provoke her, she would naturally not want to shoot any arrows and treat others like a monkey; but the other party actually came to attack her, so don't blame her for being merciless.
In fact, it's because she's so well-behaved and talkative lately that everyone thinks she's easy to bully, right
Now she just wanted to let everyone know that even without Mo Junyang, no one else would want to bully her or humiliate her.
At this time, I don’t know who was talking nonsense and said secretly: “Who will win in this case?”
As soon as the voice came out, people had no time to find out who was instigating dissension, and arguments started one after another.
Someone said: "Miss Feng's ten arrows all hit the red heart, but Miss Shi Liu didn't hit a single arrow. Naturally, Miss Feng should be considered the winner."
Someone retorted: "Didn't you see that Miss Shiliu's arrows knocked down Miss Feng's arrows? With such skill and accuracy, Miss Shiliu is naturally more powerful."
Someone else said: "You can't say that. This is a competition, and there should be rules for the competition. If Miss Shiliu doesn't hit the target according to the rules, she will lose."
Then someone argued: "At the beginning of the competition, we said who could shoot more accurately, but there was no requirement to hit the bull's eye. Now Miss Sixth Miss Shi's ten arrows all hit Miss Feng's arrow, so the accuracy is naturally not good." By the way, I think she wins."
“…”
“…”
There were endless arguments, and most of them were people who flattered Feng Mei. They all used Shi Qingxue's arrow to say something. The few who told the truth were soon changed by other voices.
Shi Qingxue had no reaction. She initially agreed to compete with Feng Mei in archery because she wanted to teach the other party a lesson and let him know that she was not that easy to bully.
Her goal has been achieved, winning or losing is not important.
Those people who want to flatter the Feng family can do whatever they want.
However, Dong Shuang couldn't bear to see those people telling lies, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and scold those who dared to speak out to slander his master.
At this time, the palace servants came to report: "Your Majesty invites Shi Liu Niang and Aunt Feng to come to the front of the palace to pray."
Shi Qingxue and Feng Mei looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Feng Mei still looked confused, but Shi Qingxue figured out something from the other party's expression: it was not Feng Mei's fault that the emperor summoned him, but Mo Xiangbin took the initiative to 'judge' the two of them!
She chuckled, not afraid.
Although Feng Mei is now the quasi-fourth prince's concubine, and Mo Xiangbin seems to be very optimistic about Feng Mei, it does not mean that the four princes' party can cover the sky with one hand.
Things were just as Qingxue expected. Mo Xiangbin summoned the two of them not to stand up for Feng Mei. Instead, he smiled and said to Shi Qingxue: "You ghost girl, the target is not small, why did you choose to kill the fourth prince?" Did the concubine's arrow fall?"
When it was pointed out that Qingxue deliberately did not panic, but said frankly: "But the target is only a small spot. If Mei Niang is allowed to occupy it, won't Qingxue have no place to attack?"
What he said made Feng Mei's arrows get in the way.
When Mo Xiangbin looked at her, Qingxue's eyes were a little deeper, and he said, "Then why don't you wait for the servants to take away her arrows before shooting? Or maybe let someone replace her with a new arrow target?"
Shi Qingxue's big eyes showed a bit of grievance, and she said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you don't know what happened at that time. Qingxue is very competitive, and she was so provoked by Mei Niang, how could she care so much?"
She was having sex, her face was red, and she seemed to be embarrassed by her previous excitement.
This made Feng Meijie, who had originally planned to stimulate Shi Qingxue, feel a mouthful of blood in her heart. She couldn't spit it out or swallow it. Her face was even more colorful, and it was really 'good-looking'.
In fact, Feng Mei really wanted to stimulate Shi Qingxue and wanted to see Shi Qingxue angered by her, but the result was that she almost became Shi Qingxue's "dead soul under the arrow".
She can't complain, because everything is caused by her own fault and she can't live!
Feng Mei was so depressed that when she heard that, Qingxue continued to speak openly: "Besides, now that Qingxue has hit all ten arrows, there are still people who say that my shooting skills are not as good as Mei Niang's. How can I tell if I can’t tell the target?”
At this time, even Mo Xiangbin fell silent.
When Mo Xiangbin announced the marriage between Mo Junhao and Feng Mei in public, he had already expected that the Feng family would win the limelight. The grassroots in the palace would naturally choose sides. Even if Shi Qingxue really shot out flowers, they would not be able to win. I will definitely say that Feng Mei is more powerful.
At this time, Shi Qingxue smiled sweetly at Mo Xiangbin and said proactively: "Your Majesty, you are fair and impartial and have unique eyesight. You must have been able to tell at a glance who would win or lose between me and Mei Niang. I wonder if Qingxue is going to win today?" Is it an honor to have you as the referee?"
As soon as these words came out, surprise inevitably appeared on Mo Xiangbin's face, and everyone held their breath and looked at Mo Xiangbin, waiting for his next words.
The emperor's referee is more 'fair and impartial' than anyone else's words, and it is enough to silence everyone.
I just wonder what decision Mo Xiangbin will make this time
