This gameplay is not all about catapulting skills. It also looks like a person's luck. However, when it comes to hearing the word "colored head", the people present smiled unchanged on their faces, but they couldn't help but feel trembling. The next old minister who was not optimistic about the prince of Nanzhao opened his mouth and wanted to dissuade the saint, but Lu Shiqing quietly pressed the back of his hand and signaled that he could not.

The old minister knew that the interruption was contrary to the etiquette of the king and the minister at this time, so he had to shake his sleeves and endure it and speak indignation.

Emperor Huining pondered for a while and soon laughed loudly: "This gameplay is interesting, just do what you said." Then he turned around and ordered the servants, "Hurry up and go 'arrange'."

Lu Shiqing heard the "arrangement" in his ears. He thought that he was not willing to give the lottery ticket in a petite manner, and was afraid that if Xiju really won, the lion spoke up and planned to send someone to make trouble.

Xiju smiled when he heard this, stroked the jade ring on his little finger, and said silently.

Lu Shiqing noticed his actions, blinked lightly, played with the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyelids and looked at him. Seeing that he looked back, he used tea as a substitute and respected him from afar.

Xiju received this respect very friendly, and slapped the tea like wine.

Soon someone took a few cages of miscellaneous birds tied with books and silk. Emperor Huining seemed to be in a good mood and turned to look at the sons present: "You guys, who would like to compete with the prince?"

The second prince Zheng Ji immediately responded.

Since the incident of fighting the Lingnan Iron Mine was exposed, the second prince who was imprisoned in the mansion for more than half a year was finally pardoned by the saint. Seeing that my father hoped someone could suppress Xiaoju, he stood up. He was a warrior, so playing with a slingshot is naturally no problem.

Emperor Huining nodded with satisfaction and asked the other sons again. Of course, he skipped the ninth prince who had always been sick, and finally ordered three other three, including Zheng Zhuo, and two generals to participate in the competition. After saying that, he looked at Yuan Yu: "Shichen is also having fun together?"

Yuan Yu waved his hand to refuse: "Your Majesty, I won't lose face for you. But the sister-in-law is good at playing with slingshots. You might as well call her to try it."

Yuan Cixian was stunned when she heard this and looked at Lu Shiqing guiltily. She was very good at playing with a slingshot, so she made a marble that a Tanhualang fell off his horse in public and fell a dog to chew on the mud.

Lu Shiqing raised his eyebrows puzzledly.

What she saw in this way, could she have the awareness of being a fiancée and would have to obtain his consent if she showed up in public?

He blinked and signaled her to play, he didn't mind.

Yuan Cixian seemed to have not seen it, and turned to the saint with a slight mouth and said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, I won't play. These birds are so cute, why do you want to shoot them to death? It's so cruel."

Emperor Huining was choked by her words, as if he was accused of being cruel and incompetent by a little girl, and he was embarrassed. He pondered for a moment and said, "Then tell me, what should I do to be cruel?"

Yuan Cixian was just looking for an excuse to avoid showing her catapulting skills in front of Lu Shiqing. Unexpectedly, the saint was willing to change the rules for her, so he had to say: "It's better... Those who obtain books and silk without a bird die will count the marks."

Emperor Huining's eyes lit up, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at her a little more vain, and praised: "This method is even more interesting!"

Several princes and generals immediately sweated coldly. Interesting? Shooting a bird with a golden marble and saying that the bird fell to the ground but not dead. This is not interesting, it is simply a problem for a strong bird.

But when the saint spoke, no one dared to disobey. Xiju also nodded in agreement and praised Yuan Cixian for being kind.

Yuan Cixian pulled the corners of her mouth at him with a slight smile. Because the saints changed the rules for her, she couldn't let it go any further. After the competition began, she stood on the arena with the princes and generals.

The cage doors of seven golden cages were opened one by one, and hundreds of birds of different fur colors suddenly blew up from the sky above the Yu Pavilion, which attracted everyone to look up.

A general wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, and held the slingshot in his hand tightly. He immediately picked a nearby one and shot a bullet, but unexpectedly he shot too hard and directly hit the bird's chest. The bird fell to the ground with a wilted sound and died in one breath.

The palace servant bent his body to clean it up and put the dead bird into the basket.

After getting the lessons from the previous ones, the second prince was a little careful when he took action, trying his best to control the direction and force, and asked the golden marble to smoothly pass the bird's wings. This time it was quite accurate, and I regretted that I was not enough to shoot down the bird, but instead shocked the snake, which scared it so much that it covered its body and went to the corner of the eaves of the pavilion.

The other few people failed one after another. For a moment, only Yuan Cixian was left on the ring. Zheng Zhuo and Xiju had never taken action. The three of them kept watching silently. Until a gust of east wind blew, they seemed to think of going together. They raised their hands and opened their bows, and shot a golden marble at the flock of birds gathered in the east.

In a flash, three shots broke through the air, but one bird did not hit, but passed through the birds, which scared the birds to flee in a panic and rushed into the water curtain. The water curtain was light and thin, and just as the wind was tilted inside, it soaked the wings of the birds. Several young birds with sparse hair quickly slowed down their wings due to overwhelming burden and slowly fell to the ground.

Emperor Huining hit three times in a row and said, "Wonderful!"

Queen Liang also smiled and whispered to him: "Liu Lang and Cixian are extremely wise."

Lu Shiqing smiled helplessly when he heard this. Xiao Yuan Cixian was indeed very delicate, but she was born with a tacit understanding with Xiju and Zheng Zhuo.

The palace servant was hesitating about who the fallen birds should be. He stepped forward and grabbed the books and silk, but saw that there was no sign, so he grabbed them all into the basket and signaled that the competition would continue.

Seeing this, the other princes and generals followed the three of them to wait for an opportunity to move. However, the second prince seemed a little dissatisfied with Zheng Zhuo. His nose wings twitched under his gloomy face. He used the old method to shoot birds. He took a few times and grasped the measure. He got a few pieces of books, but there was no mark.

Seeing this, Yuan Cixian stopped and watched again. Most of the birds living above Ziyu Pavilion are full of wings and will not be easily broken by the spring water. Moreover, her colleagues have already sacrificed themselves, so she will not fall into the old plan. Moreover, she suspected that Emperor Huining had arranged very few marks. Instead of fighting aimlessly, it is better to find out which books and silk should be the target of shooting down.

She thought for a moment, took the bullet and shot a bird close to the water curtain, but did not hit the bird's body, but called a golden marble to hit the silk hanging on its neck. The bright yellow silk floated towards the water curtain and was instantly penetrated by the water, making the color a little deeper.

She squinted her eyes, saw that there was no ink on it, and then turned to search for others.

This method is considered cunning. It seems to be cheating, but it is really not a violation of the rules. However, she still cannot see the so-called mark after firing several shots in succession.

After a stick of incense, I saw that there were fewer and fewer birds above the Yu Pavilion, and only a few were left, but everyone found nothing. Yuan Cixian was a little reminiscent. I am afraid that Emperor Huining had not prepared any marks at all.

But she didn't understand how the old emperor would tell Xijuyuan?

When the birds fell, everyone present looked at each other, and they couldn't help but have questions like Yuan Cixian. The old emperor was worried that the lion would speak loudly, but it would be unreasonable to play with others in public.

It was just when everyone was worried and confused that Lu Shiqing suddenly glanced at Yuan Cixian, and pointed his hand in her sleeve in a direction that only she could see.

Yuan Cixian suddenly woke up and shot a blast at the eaves he pointed to. With a loud "bang", he saw a brown bird outside the water curtain startled.

Everyone was surprised that there was a leaker, but soon realized that the bird was probably not released from the cage, but was arranged by Emperor Huining earlier on the outside of the eaves of the pavilion. The books and silks it carried must have been marked.

After all, there were hundreds of birds flying in the pavilion just now, and it was not surprising that one of them ran out. Even if you had thoughts in your heart, you would not be able to turn against the saints on your face. In this way, the scene will be perfect.

After successfully shocking the bird, Yuan Cixian shot out her second shot almost without pause, and this time she rushed away.

However, Emperor Huining underestimated Xiju's ability. The moment Yuan Cixian took action, he quickly set his bow. Although he was one step slower, his arm strength was amazing and his shooting skills were accurate. He knocked down her golden marble without bias, and then chased him towards the bird flying away.

Zheng Zhuo suddenly raised his head and stepped forward. Almost at the same time, he also shot out one.

At this moment, the bird had already flew away, and only a vague shadow could be seen through a layer of water curtain, but two golden marbles were chasing them accurately. They almost couldn't see any slowness in the scenes of the water. They both hit the bird's body.

With a "bang", the bird fell to the ground, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel nervous. However, Yuan Cixian had already predicted the result: Zheng Zhuo's purpose was not to win, but not to win with Xiaoju, so this bullet must be hit to death. Without looking at it, I know that the bird must have died.

The palace maid hurriedly ran down Gaoting to pick it up, and after a moment, he presented the bird's corpse and said to Emperor Huining, who was holding his breath and couldn't let it go: "Report to Your Majesty, the books and silk on the bird's neck are marked, but the bird died, two gold marbles, one hit the bird's chest and the other hit the bird's wings."

The implication is that the one hitting the bird's chest is killed, while the one hitting the bird's wings should be the winner of the book and silk. But the problem is that the golden marbles all look the same, and most of the people present have no eyesight to see clearly before they can see the truth. Even if they really see clearly, they will not be convincing to say it, so naturally they cannot determine the outcome.

This is another wisdom of meticulous residence. If he hit the bird's chest, Emperor Huining would have announced that both of them had lost, but the situation is a bit tricky. The old emperor has already cheated on him once, and if he wants to say that no one will give him this lottery, it is really unreasonable. So he signaled Yuan Cixian and others to return to his seat and said, "Since that's the case, I will give Liulang and the prince half a lottery ticket at their discretion."

The old emperor said this very well. The word "decision" means that there is no difference between the winner and the defeat. There was no winning start, but he was willing to give it kindness. This is to gain the upper hand first and avoid making excessive requests from Xiaoju. If he still mentions it shamelessly, he can also "decision" refuse.

According to etiquette, Emperor Huining should have asked Xiju what he wanted for the lottery, but perhaps he was a little dissatisfied with his fighting for the scramble of Yuan Cixian, so he turned his head and asked Zheng Zhuo with a smile: "What do Liulang want?"

In fact, Emperor Huining was quite satisfied with Zheng Zhuo's performance today. Even if he didn't speak, he would get rewards in the future. Zheng Zhuo naturally chose to retreat as an advance, saying: "My son has nothing to do, but the weather has been hot recently and mosquitoes and flies disturbed people. My son heard that his mother always couldn't sleep well at night. If my father could give her some incense to her mother, she would be very grateful."

Emperor Huining seemed to be increasingly satisfied with his son, and he kept praising him for his filial piety. He immediately ordered the servants to arrange it for Zheng Zhuo's mother, that is, Xue Cairen. As for the so-called "half" lottery, he naturally did not care about it.

After the gift here, the old emperor looked at Xiju: "What does the prince want?"

Xiju's expression was a little embarrassed and replied: "What I want is probably not based on 'half'."

Everyone's hearts were terrified. If they couldn't calculate half and half, could it be a city?

Emperor Huining raised his eyebrows and said, "You talk about it first."

Xiju silently, reached out and took off the jade ring on his little finger: "I want to ask His Majesty for the owner of this ring."

Yuan Cixian and Shaohe all raised their heads together.

There was also an uproar everywhere. The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they seemed to be wondering who the so-called master was. Even Emperor Huining was a noble man who forgot about things, and he didn't touch his mind for a while, and he didn't remember what this jade ring was like.

Lu Shiqing blinked lightly and said nothing.

Xiju has already begun to explain: "In the early years, I, Nanzhao, offered His Majesty a piece of fine jade. This woman-style jade ring was probably given to the nobles in the court after His Majesty asked someone to make it. The owner of the ring is here today."

Emperor Huining then vaguely realized that something was going on. Hearing this, he continued to think about who the ring was given to. Queen Liang had already remembered the truth first, and her face changed drastically and she glanced at her daughter.

Shao He's face turned pale, he held the cuffs of his clothes tightly. The next moment he saw Xiju look over and smiled at her, "It's Princess Shaohe."

Yuan Cixian frowned. She thought that Xiju mistakenly thought the ring was hers, so she would provoke Lu Shiqing. But now it seems that he had already found out that the ring's real owner was coming for Shaohe from the beginning.

If Xiju wanted to marry her, she would not be worried. No matter how good Emperor Huining was, he would not be so arrogant because of a competition. He asked her to remarry a prince of another country who had an engagement, which made the Zhou Dynasty a laughing stock in the world. But now it would be a bit difficult to deal with the partner of Shaohe.

Emperor Huining also held a high position for many years, and came from the storm. Even though he was surprised, he did not show any signs of it. He just realized it suddenly and did not even ask how the ring was in his hands. He smiled silently and said, "In this way, it is true that you can't 'half' for the sake of the plan. The prince might as well change the lottery."

Xiju also smiled indifferently: "What if I show enough sincerity to compensate for half of this poor?"

There was a silence all over the place. Shaohe had been lowering his eyes since the first time he raised his head, but he was trembling slightly in his sleeves.

Queen Liang looked at Emperor Huining almost with pleading, but she saw his slight wavering. Seeing that he did not say anything else, she changed to a temptation: "It is not appropriate for the prince to marry my daughter with the lottery of the competition. Moreover, Shaohe is the pearl in my hand. It is definitely not a matter of marriage to you, Nanzhao, just a little so-called "sincerity".

The implication is that he wants to hear what he can do.

Xiju nodded briefly: "Xiju understands. I beg Your Majesty to move to Zichen Hall and speak with you."

Emperor Huining silently, patted the back of the queen's hand to comfort her, and then announced the sacking of the table and signaled Xiju to come with him.

Everyone watched the saint leave, and they secretly guessed in their hearts that Nanzhao's intention was to do so, but they did not dare to express anything in front of the queen. They waited until the nobles retreated one after another before they whispered.

Yuan Cixian was uneasy, so she greeted her brother, then left with Lu Shiqing, and waited on his carriage, and asked anxiously when there was no one around, "Where is this Nanzhao?"

Lu Shiqing didn't answer for a moment, looked down at the two red marks on her fingers, grabbed her hand, bent over, took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box under the carriage, and applied the ointment inside to her.

These two red marks were slingshots. Although Yuan Cixian was a little attainable in martial arts, she was also tender and tender. In the past, she was inevitably a little hurt.

She looked down at his meticulous movements and couldn't help but choke and said silently: "You don't need to apply ointment for this little injury." After that, she sighed again, "I'm still slow. It would be great if I didn't give Xiju a chance to get the lottery."

After Lu Shiqing finished her medicine, he raised his eyelids and said, "It's already very good. This has nothing to do with you. If Xiju is determined to win, even if there is no today's competition and the ring, he is still ready to mention this matter. If he is not determined to win, he cannot come up with enough conditions to make the saints move, then Shaohe will naturally not be sacrificed."

Yuan Cixian frowned and asked, "What kind of thing do you think is?"

Lu Shiqing looked at her: "You already know the answer." Otherwise, why would she frown?

"Can Xiju really take out the conditions for the saint to let go?"

Lu Shiqing nodded.

She hated Nanzhao in her heart and said anxiously: "Although this move has nothing to do with the ring, Shaohe was sincerely helping you... Do you have a way to ask the saint to change his mind?"

She had not mentioned the reason for the ring to Lu Shiqing earlier, but just agreed that with his ability, he would find out the truth, so she did not explain much now.

Lu Shiqing was silent for a while and said, "I understand morality and kindness, but the conditions that Xiju is willing to put forward are probably not something I can turn the story with just a mouth. I can't do anything about this."

Yuan Cixian frowned and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by him firmly: "Do you want me to die and advise?" He looked at her steadily, "Yuan Cixian, I am not afraid of death, but what if I protect Shaohe at all costs, what if the person who sacrifices will be replaced by you?"
