She frowned slightly. When she raised her head and casually swept over the crowd, she met Baili Xiao's eyes that were filled with a smile that was not a smile. She clearly looked at him.
However, thinking of how he had helped her on the street, she smiled and nodded her head.
Baili Xiao wanted to express something, but he felt a cold pressure coming from beside him. His body trembled. He hurriedly retracted his gaze and straightened his sitting posture, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at the people around him with a coy smile. Royal Uncle, this County Prince's Fruit Wine is pretty good. ”
Baili Moxun's dark gaze swept past Bai Zhiling's position and landed on Baili Xiao. ”That's right.”
Naturally, there would be dancing and singing during the banquet, and when the chefs were cutting the venison, there would be dancers coming forward to give them a dance.
Actually, a banquet like this could be said to be a disguised blind date. However, County Princess did not intend to give those ladies a chance to show off.
Her daughter, Hee Qiqi, had always loved to play with swords and guns since she was young. She could be said to be inexperienced with all kinds of things. When she looked at the few brothels sitting next to Hee Qiqi, how could she let them steal Hee Qiqi's limelight!
Therefore, since she didn't mention it, the other ladies wouldn't be so tactless as to not care. After all, County Prince Lee had actual military power, and they couldn't win him over in time.
”Every year, there will be singing and dancing at banquets. How boring.”
While everyone was admiring the song and dance, the old prefecture lord who sat at the highest seat spoke in a low voice.
The old Emperor passed his sixtieth birthday last year, so he could be considered an old man. However, Bai Zhiling noticed that other than his white hair and eyebrows, he didn't look like an old man of sixty.
A hint of helplessness flashed across County Prince Lee's face. He knew that this old naughty kid's dad wouldn't easily speak up. As long as he opened his mouth, he would do something. Does Daddy have any interesting ideas? ”
The old prefecture lord frowned and thought for a while before saying, ”Then let's play a few games. Prince Jing Ling, Prince Yun, Third Prince, what do you think?”
Baili Xing smiled humbly but without losing his composure. The Old Duke is right, isn't it a little boring to sit there and play games? ”
”Yes.” ”Yes.” The old prefecture lord nodded. ”Then let's play archery.”
County Prince Lee heard that archery wasn't an inappropriate game, so he sent his men down to prepare for it.
County Princess's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Shooting arrows was something that Hee Qiqi was good at. This biological grandpa was different. He was giving his granddaughter a chance to fight for her.
If the Old Duke knew that County Princess was thinking this way, he would definitely say that she was overthinking it.
”Since father is so interested, we can't afford to be left behind. You should all go and make preparations.”
Some of the madams in the lower seats frowned in dissatisfaction. Although their daughters also had hunting and shooting skills in the female academy, they didn't care much about it in the end. How could they compare to Hee Qiqi, who had been practicing with the Old Lord since he was young?
The target and the bow were quickly brought up.
The old prefecture lord had the roasted deer carried to one side, leaving a space in the middle.
”There's no point in competing in the archery competition based on the way I used to shoot my arrows. Today, I'm going to use objects as my targets.” ”With that, he told maidservant, who was standing beside him, to hold the apple on the table.” ”Go, stand by the target and hold the apple over your head.”
Bai Zhiling looked at maidservant, whose body was already starting to tremble, and knew that this elder was definitely someone with a bad taste.
Do you really think that everyone has such great archery skills?
The old prefecture lord did not care about how others looked at him, and he drew his longbow to its side.
”Bai Zhiling heard a whistling sound as it pierced the air, followed by a scream of terror.” ”Ahhh!”
”Useless thing!”
