Chapter 39 Who said that the fifth prince was dumb in speech?
Yu Long looked at Xie Yuantang, whose face was full of eagerness, and who was almost writing the words "selling body indenture" on his face, and gritted his teeth and said unhappily: "Little Princess, you are joking. Yu Long is willing to accept defeat and be the bodyguard of the Fifth Prince for seven days!"
When he mentioned the word "willingly", he deliberately emphasized the tone, as if he was afraid that Xie Yuantang couldn't hear it.
Xie Yuantang shrugged his thin shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Okay then."
Yu Long sat down angrily. Situ Ye looked at Xie Yuantang meaningfully and said, "I didn't know that the fifth brother's wife was so secretive. I wonder where her master came from?"
"What is a master-disciple relationship?"
Xie Yuantang asked naively.
"Who is your teacher? Who taught you archery?"
Xie Yuantang blinked, his big eyes rolled around, and he subconsciously looked at Xie Zhaoqing.
When Xie Zhaoqing was stared at by her big black eyes, his heart skipped a beat!
A voice in his heart shouted: It's over! The damn girl is trying to trick him again!
As expected, Xie Yuantang's cherry-red lips pursed, and she said pitifully: "Tangtang grew up in the countryside. She couldn't even get enough to eat or wear warm clothes. How could she have a teacher?"
As he spoke, he glanced at his father who had just taken advantage of his misfortune. His thick eyelashes fluttered as he spoke in a low but clear voice, "In the past, we didn't have enough food to eat, so we could only use a slingshot to shoot chickens. After we drove the chickens away, we would get eggs to eat."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked for a moment.
Someone's attention: "So you can't shoot arrows, but you can only use a slingshot? Oh my god, I'm also good at using a slingshot, so why is my archery so bad? Is this the difference between a genius and a mediocrity?"
Some people were sarcastic: "Wow~ The daughter of the prime minister can't even have enough to eat. Prime Minister Xie just said shamelessly that he understands his daughter. It seems that the loving father is just a personality trait. How shameful!"
Xie Zhaoqing listened to the discussions around him and wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
But some people just wouldn't let him go.
Yan Guanqing smiled slightly, with the gentleness of a banished immortal, but what he said was extremely heartbreaking: "Prime Minister Xie gave birth to a legitimate daughter but did not raise her, and raised an adopted daughter but did not teach her. This is so fair and just, it is really admirable!"
Xie Zhaoqing: “…”
Xie Zhaoqing immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I... I feel guilty towards Yuan Tang. I have always wanted to make it up to her..."
"really?"
Xie Yuantang's clear voice suddenly rang out: "Then Daddy will also give me some dowry?"
Xie Zhaoqing: “…”
"Heh." Yan Guanqing sneered, "Even the relatives and friends have already given their share of money. Could it be that Prime Minister Xie is still swallowing up the dowry of the prince's wife? He is really a good father!"
Xie Zhaoqing's back teeth ached: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I…"
"Humph!"
The current first-rank prime minister made jokes one after another, and Situ Qing could not bear a good face to him. He waved his hand and said, "Since Xie Qing is willing to make amends, then start with Yuan Tang's dowry. You have two days to make up for the dowry, and there must be no mistakes!"
"……Yes."
After saying this, Situ Qing didn't want to look at Xie Zhaoqing at all.
The old man is just a spoilsport!
He glanced at Xie Yuantang and said in a much gentler voice, "Yuantang, you won the game. Besides the prize you deserve, is there anything else you want?"
A normal person would politely say "no more" at this time, but Xie Yuantang is not a normal person!
Xie Yuantang never knew what "politeness" meant!
She nodded directly: "Oh, yes."
Situ Qing: “…”
Xie Yuantang stretched out his arm, revealing his red wrist: "Father, my wrist is injured. Please ask Yu Qingqing to reimburse my medical expenses!"
Yu Qingqing: “…”
She has butt marks all over her face, why doesn't anyone compensate her!
Oh no, she was the one who started it first!
Situ Qing's mouth twitched, and he pointed at her helplessly and amusedly: "Little girl, you are really a stingy person, not willing to spend a penny!"
Xie Yuantang stuck out his tongue mischievously, and after receiving the compensation from Yu Qingqing, he returned to his seat contentedly.
As soon as I sat back down, I saw Situ Yan handing me a plate of peeled melon seeds: "Less than a hundred. I was so focused on watching the game that I forgot to peel them."
He lowered his head in annoyance, feeling that he had not only failed to help Xie Yuantang in the argument, but also failed to peel melon seeds properly.
Xie Yuantang poked his forehead with her hand and said with a smile: "My husband just spoke for me, I heard it all. My husband can even debate with many people, so amazing!"
Situ Yan blinked and said seriously: "My wife is better than me. In the next game, I will also learn archery well and become more powerful to protect my wife!"
"Yes, I believe in my husband."
Xie Yuantang rolled his eyes and whispered in his ear: "But my husband, remember one thing, you must not leave Yu Long alone later, you must follow him closely. If he wants to leave, you can say that he is not trustworthy, and he will not leave."
She didn't care at all about Situ Yan's ranking, but they were in the limelight now and many eyes were staring at them.
If Situ Yan didn't take the stage today, it would cause criticism, and everything she did today would be in vain.
So Situ Yan must participate in the competition!
As long as he plays, it won't be shameful even if he gets last place.
After all, everyone knows that the Fifth Prince is neither good at literature nor martial arts, so it would be a problem if he got first place!
Besides, Yu Long has been defeated by her. With Yu Long at the bottom, even if Situ Yan will be last, he will be tied with Yu Long for last, which is not shameful!
Xie Yuantang had a clear mind, the most important thing was that the man in black from yesterday was not found.
She was worried that Situ Yan would be in danger if he acted alone, so she had to get him a bodyguard.
And if Yu Qingqing takes the initiative to bump into me, don't blame her for making full use of her!
"Don't act alone. If a stranger talks to you, just ignore him. Remember?" Xie Yuantang warned like an old lady.
Situ Yan nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Madam, are you worried about the man in black yesterday?"
"My husband is so smart!" Xie Yuantang smiled and patted his head with her little hand. Although he was a little guy, the relationship between them was like that of siblings.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I remember everything you said."
Situ Yan assured, but in fact he had something in his mind that he hadn't said.
He had an inexplicable feeling that the man in black would never appear again...
Soon, the third hunt began.
After waving goodbye to Xie Yuantang, Situ Yan rode on Xiaoguai and slowly walked to the front of the woods.
The others also took their positions, waiting for the signal and then relying on their own abilities.
Situ Ye was also among them. Yu Long subconsciously rode his horse beside him, and the two were talking about something.
Situ Yan remembered Xie Yuantang's instructions, tilted his head, waved to Yu Long and said:
"Yu Long, you have to follow me."
Yu Long: “…”
Situ Ye: "..."
"Yu Long, just stay with your fifth brother." Situ Ye forced a smile without even looking at Situ Yan.
What to look at?
Looking at people? It's an eyesore!
Looking at horses? Even more annoying!
Yu Long reined in his horse with a dark face and walked up to Situ Yan, saying in a cold voice: "Fifth Prince, let me make it clear in advance that I am only responsible for protecting your safety and teaching you archery, but I will never shoot for you."
Situ Yan nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, I abide by the rules. As long as you follow me, I won't let you do it again."
Yu Long: “…”
Depend on!
You are mocking the Yu family for not following the rules of the game, right?
Who said that the fifth prince is dumb in speech?
It's clearly very expressive!
