C533 Pot throwing contest (2/2)
”Aunt, there's no problem with Jian An. I wonder if Rong He is willing?” Wei Ru asked Lian Rue.
”Since the Empress has given the order, it would be better to accept it rather than accept it.” Without hesitation, Moon took the arrow and stood in the same spot where Wei Ru had been standing a moment ago.
Everyone stared at her. Xu Xian Fei and Wei Ru looked at each other as a meaningful smile appeared on their lips. Xiao Rou secretly clenched her hands as a layer of coldness appeared on her face.
”Lian Ruyue, you can do it.” Feng Lingyue shouted from the side.
Lian Ruyue focused her attention and looked at the opening of the jade pot. She used the appropriate strength to throw forward. ”Clank,” the arrow missed. It brushed past the jade pot and made a sound.
”Ah, what a pity. Just a little more.” Feng Lingyue felt extremely regretful as she pouted.
She even cast another two times, but the result was the same. In the end, she touched the arrow and said, ”I lost, and I didn't even hit it once. What a disgrace.”
Feng Ye's eyes revealed a hint of doubt. He had seen this girl shoot arrows before. Although it wasn't a perfect shot, it wasn't a miss either. How come she couldn't hit the target at all this time?
Naturally, when it was Wei Ruchao's turn, she once again placed her bets on him, causing the crowd to sigh in admiration. Wei Ruchao, on the other hand, had a dignified and humble smile on his face the entire time.
”Princess Jianan is truly a person of both martial and literary skills. It is truly admirable.” Princess Yue's wife, Xiao Rou, praised her, gloating as she glanced at Lian Xiyue. ”It seems that the county lord Rong He has indeed sought fame.”
Lian Ruyue said, ”I was originally not talented, so naturally I couldn't ask for fame. Since I lost three times, I was willing to accept my loss and drink to get my punishment.”
”In my opinion, this is all just a joke. One drink should be enough.” When Princess Eleven saw the three full cups of wine on the plate in front of Lian Ruyue, she was a little worried and thus, she excused herself for Lian Ruyue.
”How can that be? When the Fifth Princess loses once, she drinks a cup with three cups. She doesn't act shamelessly either. Could it be that there's something different with Moon?” Xiao Rou hurriedly said.
”You're right, Princess Yun. If you lose, I'll drink these three goblets of wine.” Lian Ruyue lifted up the wine cup, raised her head and poured one cup into her mouth. Then she raised the second cup and drank it all in one gulp.
”Cough, cough …” Perhaps from drinking so much that she choked, Lian Yue covered her mouth and coughed twice as she frowned.
”This King will drink this last cup for her.” At this time, Feng Ye took the last cup of wine and said.
”Ye'er …” Suddenly, the expression on Xu Xianyang's face changed. Wei Ru saw that big brother Ye was actually going to drink wine for Lian Ruyue. A hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes, and she secretly clenched her fists.
”Ye'er, your fifth sister has already drunk it. If County Lord Rong He doesn't drink it, then it would be unfair to your fifth sister.” Xu Xianfei said.
”Mufei …”
”Thank you, eighth prince, but there's no need. I can drink this little bit of wine.” Empress Dowager Xian and Princess Yue are right. Since the Fifth Princess has already drunk, I must drink. Otherwise, if everyone's mood is affected, I'll be guilty of a great sin. ” When Feng Ye was about to speak, Lian Yue had already poured the last cup into her stomach.
”Everyone, let's continue playing.” Upon seeing her drink the wine, Xu Xianfei spoke to the crowd.
After three cups of wine, Lian Ruyue felt a little dizzy, so she softly said a few words to Princess Eleven before going to the side and sitting down.
