After the riding and archery examination ended, the young ladies surrounded her and Princess Hui An was pushed aside.
She was dumbfounded.
“Miss Su, you’re so amazing.” “That’s right. How did you shoot it?”
“Did you learn archery in Qingzhou?”
Everyone mentioned her past again and subconsciously changed the countryside to Qingzhou.
“Miss Su, can you teach me archery?”
“Your hands are so soft.”
“What spice did you use? It smells so good.”
The topic gradually changed.
Su Xiaoxiao was drowned by everyone’s enthusiasm.
She was good at dealing with all kinds of malice and was at ease when it came to fighting.
However, she was at a loss for what to do with everyone’s sincerity and kindness.
A second ago, she was still an extremely awe-inspiring sharpshooter. At this moment, she had “been tragically” pinched by the daughters who held her hands, pulled her sleeves, and hooked her arms.
She grabbed the bow and arrow in a daze and became a little dumb chicken in a second!
In the Palace Academy, no one had been so popular. Not Princess Jingning, who was born in the central palace, Princess Hui An, who was the apple of Emperor Jing Xuan’s eye, nor Qin Yanran, who was known as the number one talent.
Guo Lingxi had many followers. Other than competing with Princess Hui An, she had a good reputation and popularity in the Palace Academy.
However, she had never enjoyed Su Xiaoxiao’s treatment.
This scene was as if she had unified everyone’s aesthetics alone.
Guo Lingxi gripped the bow in her hand tightly.
She turned around and saw Wei Ting behind her.
She was delighted. “Cousin…
Wei Ting was not looking at her. His gaze pa.s.sed the daughters and landed on a dumbfounded little fat peac.o.c.k. A trace of emotion that he did not notice flashed across his eyes.
Guo Lingxi left the palace in tears and even forgot to return the bow.
She only reacted when she reached the carriage. In a fit of pique, she threw the bow to the ground and broke it with one step!
For today’s exam, the results below C rank needed to be re-examined.
More than half of the daughters wailed.
Princess Hui An valiantly left the gra.s.sland.
The accompanying palace servants were at a loss.
At least others got a D, but she got a zero. Why was she walking with so much gusto?
“Princess, this is not the way to Qi Xiang Palace,” the little palace maid
reminded.
“I know. I’ll go look for Father!” Princess Hui An said.
The little palace maid said, “I spoke too much. Is His Majesty still in court at this time?”
“Then I’ll wait for him to leave the court!” Princess Hui An said matter-of-factly.
The little palace maid asked, “Is… is there anything urgent?”
Princess Hui An said righteously, “I have to take the test again. Isn’t this an urgent matter? But how can I take the test alone? I can only… ask Father to issue a decree and find me a sparring partner!”
The corners of the little palace maid’s mouth twitched. “Don’t tell me you want to look for Master Wei?”
Princess Hui An said, “He’s the teacher. If he teaches me alone, what will others do? Wouldn’t that be very unfair? I’m very particular about fairness. I can just find a random girl!”
The little palace maid muttered, “Are you sure you want to find a random girl? Why don’t you just say Miss Su’s name…”
When Princess Hui An arrived at the imperial study, Princess Jingning was coming out.
“Why are you here?” Princess Hui An frowned.
Princess Jingning glanced at her. “To tell Father that you failed the archery test and have to take the test again.”
Princess Hui An exploded. “You don’t have to tell him! I’ll tell him myself!”
Princess Jingning said with a calm expression, “In addition, Father thinks we should find you a sparring partner and teach you step by step.”
Princess Hui An’s eyes lit up.
Princess Jing Ning said calmly, “From tomorrow onwards, come to Kunning Palace at five o’clock every day. I’ll teach you archery.”
Princess Hui An was speechless!
On the other side, Guo Lingxi returned to the Guo family in exasperation and locked herself in her room, not coming out to eat.
She was the closest to Guo Huan, so the servant naturally went to report it to the Eldest Young Master.
Guo Huan came to the door and knocked.
“Go away!”
She shouted.
“It’s me, Big Brother,” Guo Huan said softly.
Guo Lingxi’s cries stopped abruptly. She slowly walked over and opened the door for Guo Huan.
Guo Huan entered with a fresh peach and handed it to her. “Mother got someone to visit Aunt yesterday. She picked it from Aunt’s peach garden.”
Guo Lingxi choked. “I’m not eating.”
Guo Huan smiled and said, “Don’t you like to eat the peaches planted by your aunt the most? They’re bigger and sweeter than the ones outside.”
Guo Lingxi said angrily, “I’m not in the mood to eat. I’ve lost all my face today!”
“What’s wrong?” Guo Huan asked dotingly.
Guo Lingxi sat on the chair and cried as she told him about the exam.
“Why did you give Princess Hui An a horse… If you didn’t give it to her… she wouldn’t have won against me…”
Actually, what did this have to do with Guo Huan?
No one expected Princess Hui An to give away such a precious horse.
Guo Huan smiled gently. “Hui An, you’re so naughty.”
Guo Lingxi complained, “And that arrow! She said that someone tampered with it, but I don’t think so! Her accuracy is very good! She said that on purpose to make people think that she’s very powerful! She can even hit with a bad arrow!”
Guo Huan touched the jade ring on his thumb. “She… hit the target?”
Guo Lingxi said gloomily, “The first arrow missed the target, and all the rest hit! I hate it! I hate her to death!”
Guo Huan looked at the peaches on the table and muttered softly, “Did she hit all of them…
At the entrance of the palace, Wei Ting sat in the carriage and waited for a long time before Su Xiaoxiao arrived.
“It’s been more than an hour since cla.s.s ended,” Wei Ting said coldly. Su Xiaoxiao said innocently, “But they were holding me back. I can’t leave either.”
Wei Ting said, “It’s the holidays tomorrow. Where do you want to go?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I have plans.”
Wei Ting said coldly, “At night!”
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “I have plans too.”
Wei Ting asked in confusion, “What did you arrange?” Was she going to make a house call?
Su Xiaoxiao opened her fingers and counted. “Lu Hui and Lu Ying asked me to go for a walk. Miss Zheng asked me to look at jewelry. Miss Liu asked me to go for a walk at night!”
Wei Ting took a sip of cold tea.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Hurry up and go back.”
Wei Ting said to the coachman, “Go to the Pearl Pavilion.”
Pearl Pavilion was the pleasure boat that Wei Ting had brought Su Xiaoxiao to eat.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why are you going there again?
Wei Ting said seriously, “Let’s eat! It’s lunchtime!”
“Why aren’t we eating at home?” Su Xiaoxiao leaned forward and looked straight at him. “Do you want to date me?”
Wei Ting said coldly, “I just want to eat the fish from Pearl Pavilion.”
Su Xiaoxiao sat back down. “Then, let’s go back and pick up Dahu, Erhu, and
Xiaohu first.”
Wei Ting said calmly, ‘Why pick them up? Don’t they have cla.s.ses?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “There’s no cla.s.s at noon…”
Master Wei said very seriously, “What if they’re late when returning? Although they’re still young, they can’t develop the habit of being late and skipping cla.s.s..”
