Chapter 36: There is nothing that Big Boss Tang is not good at!
After this "friendly exchange", basically no one dared to provoke Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan in the following hunting competitions.
Xie Yuantang happily held the "battle gift" in his small bag, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds with his little hands to share with Situ Yan.
Anyway, they don't know anything and they are here just to collect money... Oh no, they are here to learn!
The first two rounds were shooting competitions, divided into men's and women's groups. Naturally, the princes took the lead in the men's group.
The women's group surprised Xie Yuantang a little. The first place winner was neither the second princess Situ Ya nor the third princess Situ Feng, but Yu Qingqing.
Xie Yuantang looked at Yu Qingqing who was wearing tight clothes, and thought that after all, she was from the Duke Yu's Mansion. Besides Yu Long's excellent martial arts, the woman was not much inferior.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the Leng family mentioned by Hongqiu.
I wonder who was better back then, Leng Zhenshan or Duke Yu?
Just as she was thinking, Xie Yuantang suddenly noticed a hostile gaze coming towards her.
Yu Qingqing looked at her provocatively: "I heard that the Fifth Prince's wife had made a bold statement before, saying that she dared to come and participate in the hunting competition. Could it be that the so-called 'participation' means just sitting here and eating melon seeds?"
Xie Yuantang:?
She blinked suspiciously: "Miss Yu looks so angry? Is it because I accepted too many gifts from you? I can return them to you, really!"
Yu Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger. She just couldn't stand the sight of a villain like Xie Yuantang succeeding!
"That little bit of money is not worth my attention. Stop talking nonsense. If you have the guts, come and compete with me. Otherwise, just admit defeat and say you are not as good as me!"
Xie Yuantang was already a focus of attention, so Yu Qingqing's public provocation naturally attracted attention.
Yan Guanqing frowned slightly and was about to speak: "Your Majesty, this matter..."
"Don't worry, Yan Qing."
Situ Qing smiled faintly and waved his hands. He was still in the mood to eat the fruit that Concubine Li handed to him. He smiled and said, "Let's see how the little girl handles it."
Yan Guanqing's mouth twitched slightly.
He had discovered that, ever since he saw how clever Xie Yuantang was, the emperor had become more and more addicted to watching the show!
Xie Yuantang blinked, glanced up and down at Yu Qingqing, hooked his index finger, and pointed at himself: "You want to compete with me?"
"Exactly!"
Xie Yuantang found it incredible: "Miss Yu, can I ask you how old you are today?"
Xie Yuantang really couldn't understand why Yu Qingqing was so stupid as to compete with a nine-year-old girl who sprained her ankle. Even if she won, would she have face?
"Humph, I knew the Fifth Prince's wife would use age as an excuse!"
Yu Qingqing glanced at Xie Yuantang with contempt: "I know you are only nine years old, but since you are the Fifth Prince's consort, no matter how old you are, you represent the Fifth Prince's reputation."
"Don't accuse me of bullying you. When I was nine years old, I could shoot an arrow through a 10-meter target. This is known throughout the capital. As long as you can hit the target, you win."
Xie Yuantang said "Oh" and shook his head, "No, there is no excitement, and I am not motivated to work."
Yu Qingqing: “…”
Everyone: "..."
The Minister of Works seized the opportunity and said to Xie Zhaoqing: "The Prime Minister's daughter really has... a distinct personality!"
Xie Zhaoqing's face turned pale, and he glared at Xie Yuantang and said, "Yuantang, don't be rude. How can you compare to Miss Yu? Don't admit defeat!"
Xie Yuantang rolled his eyes, pointed at Xie Zhaoqing, and said to Yu Qingqing: "See, I accepted the challenge and humiliated myself. If I win, it's luck, and if I lose, it's what I deserve. It's not worth it either way."
Yu Qingqing frowned: "Then what will you do?"
Xie Yuantang smiled slightly and turned to look at Situ Yan: "Husband, can you shoot arrows?"
Situ Yan shook his head, and Xie Yuantang clapped his hands and said, "Then if I win, I want you...brother Yu Long, to help my husband and teach him archery during the third free hunting in the forest!"
"what?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Long was dragged into this. Yu Qingqing was shocked: "Why?"
Xie Yuantang yawned and started cracking melon seeds again: "No reason, this is the prize I want. If you dare, I will accept the challenge. If you don't dare, just go and have fun by yourself."
Yu Qingqing was so angry that her face turned red. Situ Ye thought for a moment and whispered something to Yu Long.
Yu Long frowned and stood up and said, "I will compete with her if I lose!"
Yu Qingqing then looked up at Xie Yuantang and said, "Come down to fight!"
"Don't rush me, I sprained my ankle, I can only walk slowly~"
Xie Yuantang jumped off the chair and took two steps when Situ Yan grabbed her arm.
He said nothing, but looked at her with eyes full of worry.
He was stupid, but he understood that everything Xie Yuantang did was for his own good, and accepting the challenge at this time was also to prevent others from looking down on them.
Situ Yan lowered his head dejectedly, like a big dog caught in the rain, full of loneliness and self-blame.
"It's all my fault. I'm so useless."
Xie Yuantang patted his big hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my husband, help me peel a hundred melon seeds, and I will be back when you are done!"
"Well, help me peel it!"
Situ Yan nodded obediently, and Xie Yuantang handed the small bag to him again: "Watch it carefully~ I won't let anyone see it, not even my father!"
"Well, no!"
Situ Qing: “…” Well, the little thing despised me!
After Xie Yuantang finished his instructions, he slowly walked off the venue.
She was short and had sprained her ankle, so she couldn't jump down the high steps when she left the stage.
Yu Qingqing jumped down first and looked at her calmly: "What happened to the princess? Do you need someone to carry you down?"
Her original intention was to mock Xie Yuantang, but who knew Xie Yuantang was such a double-faced person!
Only when she mocks others, no one can hit her!
As soon as Yu Qingqing finished speaking, Xie Yuantang took the opportunity to stretch out his two little arms towards her and said crisply, "Sister Qingqing is so nice to be willing to carry me down!"
Yu Qingqing: "When did I say..."
Xie Yuantang: "Ouch, my feet hurt so much, I don't know if I can still compete~"
Yu Qingqing: “…”
She walked forward with a dark face and glared at Xie Yuantang unhappily: "Hold! I'll carry you down, okay?"
Xie Yuantang grinned with dimples: "Thank you, sister. I didn't expect that although you have a wicked face, your heart is not completely bad~"
Yu Qingqing: “…”
It was like throwing her to the ground and stomping on her!
The two men walked onto the field, only ten meters away from the target.
Yu Qingqing first shot three targets easily, each of which hit the center of the circle, and then handed the bow and arrow to Xie Yuantang, saying proudly: "As long as you can hit the three rings once within ten arrows, I will count you as the winner!"
"Wow! Miss Yu is so generous!"
"I heard that Miss Yu could hit the bull's eye of every target when she was nine years old!"
"Really, it's so embarrassing that we can't even win this!"
"And he took so much money from them. Tsk tsk... he's really shameless!"
Xie Yuantang listened to the discussions coming from around him, smiled slightly, and took the bow and arrow.
Withdraw your feet, lunge, draw the bow...
Xie Yuantang turned around and looked at Yu Qingqing with a smile: "No, I'm really curious, who told you that I'm not good at riding and shooting?"
The words fell.
"Buzz!"
The arrow has flown!
Xie Yuantang didn't even look at the target, he calmly put away his bow and stood still.
The eunuch on the other end reported in astonishment: "Ten rings! Hit the bull's eye!"
There is nothing that Big Brother Tang is not good at!
