They also didn't understand why Wen Yuan suddenly had such powerful power.
But there are still some smart people among them, but these people don't gossip loudly like the woman just now, but quietly tell the people below, "It seems that she is indeed inseparable from the demon clan."
Wen Yuan couldn't hear what they said, so naturally there was nothing he could do about them.
"Empress, the Emperor has summoned all ladies to attend the Lantern Festival at Night Lake." The chief eunuch beside the Emperor personally came to deliver the order.
We finally arrived. Wen Yuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed after drinking some wine, now had bright eyes, he knew there would be something good to watch tonight.
The lanterns on the banks of the night lake were colorful, and the candlelight swayed softly, reflecting on everyone's faces. "The palace has not been so lively for a long time."
The queen and the emperor were chatting, and the princes and princesses below were all very excited, hoping that they could win the first prize in one fell swoop.
Wen Yuan chose a remote corner to sit down. It was the least noticeable place and she could do what she wanted.
Seeing Wen Yuan sitting so far away, the emperor was filled with suspicion, but he let her go... There was nothing he could do to this child now.
The lantern shooting competition started, and the first person to take the stage was Wen Yuan's childhood rival, who had a high status and was the niece of Concubine Rong.
As a general, she was very familiar with drawing a bow and shooting arrows. She skillfully pulled the bow string, and a flaming arrow flew out with a "whoosh".
The arrow crossed the dim lake and landed on a lantern far away, and the first lantern was successfully lit.
Then came the second one. Wen Yuan would not let her get her wish. She waved her hand gently under her sleeves, and the arrow was deflected by an inexplicable evil wind and fell into the water.
Each person had three arrows, and with the last arrow left, the woman was bound to win it, but this time it was even more strange. The arrowhead, which was obviously stained with strong fire oil, could not be ignited no matter what.
Unfortunately, this last arrow had to be given up.
The woman was wondering. She turned around and saw Wen Yuan, who was laughing so hard that her branches were trembling with laughter, and rushed forward, "You are causing trouble, aren't you?!"
However, Wen Yuan pretended to be pitiful and spread his hands to argue, "I'm just gloating about your misfortune. I don't have the ability to control where your arrows fly."
The woman thought about it, this Wen Yuan was just a waste, how could a gust of wind blow her arrow away, so she stopped worrying.
Some men's archery skills are not as accurate as women's, which really makes people laugh. Wen Yuan spared no effort to ridicule these people, "It's really making people laugh. A group of men's archery skills are not as good as girls, why not go home and embroider?" , If you can’t hold an arrow, can you still hold an embroidery needle?”
After she said this, many men present lowered their heads in shame, while some women laughed along with Wen Yuan.
The harsh laughter was full of sarcasm and disdain for men.
The next person to appear is also someone who has a grudge against Wen Yuan, but this is a man.
Gu Ye, a man Wen Yuan will never forget no matter what.
After the man drew the bow, he did not shoot out immediately. Instead, he aimed at Wen Yuan and looked at her provocatively, "Why doesn't Princess Xianyang show her skills to everyone today? Although the princess has no spiritual roots and cannot practice, she is highly skilled in martial arts, riding and shooting. It’s no big deal.”
He mentioned Wen Yuan's embarrassing past in front of everyone on purpose, "Some people who don't often live in the capital don't know, but our Princess Xianyang is the only one who has no spiritual roots in thousands of years."
Some people who came back from outside to attend the palace banquet whispered, "So she is Princess Xianyang..."
"It doesn't look like a useless person..."
Wen Yuan heard all these words, but now she no longer cares.
After all... who would care about someone who is inferior to themselves?
"Mr. Gu, don't provoke me. It's not too late to wait until you hit the target, but then again, Mr. Gu is the best cultivator in the capital. How could you miss it, right?"
"That's natural."
At this time, Gu Ye didn't know that he had walked into Wen Yuan's trap. After a while, he would regret his boast, "If I miss one more arrow, how about licking the soles of your shoes?"
"Okay, as long as you can hit one arrow, I will lick your shoes."
This was too much fun, and the people around them stared at the two of them excitedly.
Then Gu Ye drew his bow with full confidence, but when the arrow shot out, it was about to land on the lantern, but just when he was about to hit it, a fish jumped out of the lake and jumped into the sky. The tail slap extinguished the flames on his arrows.
The arrow fell into the lake in front of everyone. Wen Yuan covered his face and sneered, "How about Mr. Gu, are you coming to lick my shoes?"
After all, it was a promise he made, and it was in front of so many people. Now, it doesn't matter if Gu Ye goes up to lick Wen Yuan's shoes, nor does he regret it... He is really riding a tiger.
But Wen Yuan didn't let him go. He actually took off his shoes and carried them in his hand, still dangling. "Is it possible that Mr. Gu wants to regret it? So many people can see it."
Gu Ye walked forward slowly, leaned down and said in Wen Yuan's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you really want to do this? Can't you give me some face?"
face? You didn't save me any face when you exposed my scars in front of so many people just now, and now you want face again?
That's impossible. Wen Yuan simply exclaimed, attracting everyone to look at them, "Huh?! It turns out that Mr. Gu was joking just now. Those chips were too big. Oh, it was Wen Yuan who was stupid and didn't understand that Mr. Gu was just joking." Young Master’s deep intention, I thought that Young Master Gu has some kind of hobby and really wants to lick my shoes.”
The man's face was already blushing from her, and he could only take the shoe from Wen Yuan's hand and stick out his tongue to lick the sole.
Fortunately, even if the emperor tried to stop him, he could save Gu Ye's face, "That's enough, let's just let it be a small fuss. What's the point of licking shoes?"
With Wen Yuan's current status and strength, she didn't take the emperor seriously at all. Her face darkened and her voice became lower, "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Since you have staked your own dignity, what if you lose?" Aren’t you just going to trample your dignity under your feet?”
The emperor felt that he had been refuted by her and was angry, but he discovered that as long as he had murderous intentions towards Wen Yuan, his heart would hurt unconsciously.
The kind of pain he felt was determined by the degree of his murderous intention towards Wen Yuan. Just like at this moment, it was just like a needle prick, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He was sweating profusely and sat down holding the handle of the faucet, "Oh, you kid... ...It’s up to you, I don’t want to interfere too much in the affairs of your juniors.”
Does this mean you don’t care? Everyone secretly cursed.
Seeing that the emperor was on Wen Yuan's side, Gu Ye was so angry that he took Wen Yuan's shoes and started to lick them.
But when his tongue was about to touch the sole of the shoe, he suddenly remembered something, "You said, as long as I shoot an arrow, you will lick my shoe. I still have two arrows left to shoot, and I still Have the opportunity."
"You don't think you can really shoot a lantern right under my nose, do you?"
"You're nothing but trash."
Wen Yuan sneered, "Ha. Okay, let's use this remaining lantern as a bet. If you can shoot one of these lanterns, I won't let you lick your shoes and let you ride back to the Gu Mansion." ,How about it?"
Wow--
Everyone around them exclaimed that this was too much fun, even bigger than before.
But why is Wen Yuan so confident that Gu Ye can't even hit a lantern? There must be some fraud in this.
It's a pity that bystanders are clear. Everyone watching around has figured it out clearly. Gu Ye is still deceived by Wen Yuanxu's bet.
"Okay! Then we have agreed! You are not allowed to go back on your word, so many people have heard it!"
"Of course I won't regret it, but..." Seeing Wen Yuan hesitate to speak, everyone understood that she wanted to raise the bet, "If you don't hit the last one, you have to kneel in front of me and imitate howling like a dog." .”
Some of the crowd were looking forward to seeing Gu Ye bark like a dog, while others were eager to see Wen Yuan being ridden like a dog.
"OK!"
After saying that, he started. Wen Yuan stood aside and watched him shoot arrows. Gu Ye seemed to have forgotten what happened just now and continued to draw the bow and shoot arrows.
Everything started smoothly. Just when Gu Ye thought Wen Yuan would be ridden back home by him soon, Wen Yuan just moved his hand slightly, and the speeding arrow stopped in mid-air.
Then Wen Yuan made a gesture of pinching his fingers together, and the arrow broke in mid-air.
"Don't worry, you still have many chances."
There were a total of ten lanterns left on the lake. Gu Ye still couldn't believe it because he couldn't hit any of them.
He thought this must be a coincidence, as Wen Yuan could not have the ability to control his arrows.
The second and third arrows were broken by Wen Yuan in the same way.
"What are you doing?!" Gu Ye finally couldn't help but yelled at Wen Yuan.
But Wen Yuan was extremely calm, calmly looking at the man in front of him with a happy smile, "What's wrong? The rules don't say that I can't stop you from shooting the lanterns. Is it possible that Mr. Gu can't afford it?"
"Okay, since you want to do this, I will have fun with you."
He covered the entire arrow with his own spell, ensuring that Wen Yuan would not disturb him again this time.
Until Wen Yuan did something on the arrow, let him have a little hope.
This time Wen Yuan did not mess with Gu Ye's arrows, but turned to the lanterns.
When the arrow was about to get close to the core of the flower, Wen Yuan used magic to wrap the lantern in a water balloon. The flame on the arrow was swallowed by the water balloon and instantly lost its color.
She looked at Gu Ye provocatively, "It doesn't matter, you still have eight chances."
Gu Ye waited until the next time he did this again, sooner or later she would kneel in front of Wen Yuan and imitate the barking of a dog, so he simply threw the bow and arrow in Wen Yuan's direction to disturb her sight, and then punched Wen Yuan unprepared.
But before this fist touched Wen Yuan, it was pinched by a man, "This is not a man. I am willing to admit defeat. Since you are not capable of lighting a lantern, then kneel down before Princess Xianyang." Kowtow in front of you and imitate the barking of a dog."
