Chapter 262: King of Qi

Chapter 262 King Qi

Shi Yamei looked at Gu Huayu and said, "The melon slices are too light. In comparison, I still like Tieguanyin."

 Liu Yu was silent and said no more words.

Jiang Ying looked at Gu Huayu and asked, "Is the princess good at darts?"

Gu Huayu shook her head and replied: "I'm not good at it. Why does Mr. Jiang ask like this?"

Jiang Ying said with some disappointment: "My sister-in-law came back from the flower party at Huaqing Palace the day before yesterday, and she was full of praise for the princess's accuracy in throwing things. I thought the princess was good at darts."

Shi Yamei turned her head to look at Gu Huayu and asked in a low voice: "You went to Huaqing Palace to attend the flower party? What happened?"

 Gu Huayu squeezed Shi Yamei's hand to show comfort, and replied to Jiang Ying, "Oh, Miss Jiang is exaggerating.

I grew up in the mountains, and I usually like to go to the mountains to chop firewood with my brother.

 As time went by, I learned some games played by boys, so when I threw things, my accuracy was pretty good. "

Jiang Ying became interested and asked: "How accurate is it? How about we play a game of pot throwing?"

Gu Huayu had no intention of competing. She just wanted to finish her meal early and leave.

 King Qi was full of curiosity about Gu Huayu, and he had an impulse in his heart to know more about this girl.

 The King of Qi has always been a person with a strong sense of purpose. With an idea in my heart, my brain quickly started to use the existing conditions to create opportunities for myself.

He not only wanted to know how accurate Gu Huayu's words were? He also wanted to interact more with Gu Huayu to eliminate the strangeness of the first meeting and make plans for the next meeting...

After making up his mind, King Qi said: "Meng Yang's suggestion is good. Let's divide the teams and compete. How about it?"

The prince wants to play, what can others say? Of course we try our best to cooperate.

Lin Wangshu and Liu Yu nodded. Lin Wangshu followed King Qi's words and said: "Of course, the eight of us will be divided into two groups.

Since it was Meng Yang who suggested it, how about Meng Yang leading one group and the other group being led by the prince? "

 The King of Qi is interested in playing, so naturally he should be the leader.

Lin Wangshu sensibly handed over the right to speak to King Qi.

 King Qi was quite satisfied with Lin Wangshu's arrangement. Jiang Ying and Hua Yanran competed. Naturally, the two of them could not be in the same group.

 Now that Jiang Ying is the team leader, Hua Yanran automatically joins her own group.



There were only eight people at the moment, so Lin Wangshu made arrangements based on his feeling. When he received the admiring look from King Qi, his heart was agitated, and he didn't understand how he could please this man.

 The King of Qi continued one sentence and said no more. Lin Wangshu looked at everyone and saw that no one had the intention to speak.

Lin Wangshu thought that if he had just started, he would complete the task, so he said: "The two team leaders have been selected, and the remaining people will be divided into two groups.

 Excluding the two leaders, there are still six people left, four men and two women. The princess and Miss Shi San were divided into groups.

Meng Yang wanted to compete with the princess, so the princess was assigned to the prince's group, and Miss Shi San was assigned to Meng Yang's group.

 You two brothers, the eldest young master and the second young master, are divided into two groups.

 I am in a group with Minzhi. How about it? "

 Minzhi is Liu Yu’s character.

Li Tao was the first to say: "I have no objection, I will be in the prince's group."

Lin Wangshu looked at Liu Yu and asked, "Where's Minzhi? Which group do you choose?"

Liu Yu said: "Since the second young master chose Wang Ye's group, then I will choose Meng Yang's group!"

Gu Huayu was speechless. At the dinner table, she tried to separate the two of them, but unexpectedly a game of pot throwing happened and they were brought together again.

Gu Huayu thought to herself, Mr. Ye, I have tried my best. I can only pray that the relationship between you and Shi San is made of copper and iron walls and can withstand the test.

Lin Wangshu said with a smile: "Minzhi will go to Meng Yang's group, then I will go to Wangye's group, we will form a team to complete, and then formulate the rules of the game.

We follow the traditional competition method, best-of-three games. All team members need to participate. Each person has four arrows. In order to save time, four pots are placed in front. Four people throw at the same time, and then count to find the group with the most hits. To win. How about it? "

Liu Yu asked: "If the two groups hit the same number of arrows, how do we count them?"

Lin Wangshu thought for a while and said: "Then make it more difficult, lengthen the throwing distance, and add another round. Until the winner is determined."

Li Tao said: "Since it is a competition, there must be a lottery. What is the lottery?"

Lin Wangshu looked at King Qi and asked: "My lord, what do you think we should use to make the lottery?"

King Qi thought for a while and said, "Whoever wins, how about I invite this group of people to go to Pan Yuan to watch a play?"

 “Wow! This is a good lottery.” Li Tao exclaimed.

Others also looked happy and said yes again and again.

Gu Huayu turned her head to look at Shi Yamei and asked in a low voice: "Is it difficult to watch Pan Yuan's play?"

Shi Yamei nodded and whispered: "Pan's Liyuan performs a play every three days. There are only thirty seats in the venue, and there is no room for one more. To watch his plays, you must make a reservation in advance."

 It is said that his show is scheduled for half a year. "

Gu Huayu asked: "The show is scheduled for half a year? Then today's lottery will not be cashed out until half a year later."

“No need, Pan Jiunian, the owner of Pan’s Liyuan, and the prince are close friends.” Li Tao stood beside Gu Huayu at some point and replied in a low voice.

"That's it." Gu Huayu nodded, thinking about how to deal with this competition.

Li Tao saw King Qi and Lin Wangshu looking towards them and said to Gu Hua, "Let's go over."

Gu Huayu nodded and walked over with Li Tao.

Gu Huayu followed Li Tao around the screen, only to realize that there was something special about this room.

In front of the screen is an ordinary elegant room, behind the screen is a magnificent lobby, and the furnishings in the room are all exquisite.

Li Tao turned his head and saw Gu Huayu's surprised expression, and explained: "This place is spacious and can be used for guests to hold various parties or activities."

Gu Huayu nodded while looking at it. The last time she came here, she only sat outside and thought it was like the Huixian Tower...

“Princess, Second Young Master, come here quickly and try your hand.” Lin Wangshu shouted at the two of them with an arrow in his hand.

Li Tao raised his voice and responded: "Here we come. Come on, let's go there."

Gu Huayu walked over, and Lin Wangshu distributed arrows and asked, "Has the princess ever played hutong?"

Gu Huayu shook her head and replied truthfully: "I haven't played it before."

King Qi smiled and explained: "It's okay. This game is very simple. People stand here and throw arrows into the pot over there. The winner is decided by the number of arrows thrown."

King Qi pointed to the pot not far away as he spoke.

Li Tao looked at King Qi who patiently explained to Gu Huayu, and couldn't help but wonder, when did King Qi become so patient?

In Li Tao's mind, this cousin was always unsmiling, solemn, and enigmatic.

Gu Huayu thanked her, and then visually checked that the pot was less than two meters away from where she threw it, which was about the distance she could spread her arms.

 With her skill, she can hit it even from a further distance.

 King Qi stood next to Gu Huayu, holding an arrow in his hand, and said to Gu Huayu: "Yanran, I will give you an example.

In this way, with your legs as wide as your shoulders, your hand reaches the position of the arrow, and you raise your hand to throw the arrow toward the mouth of the pot. Easy! "

 King Qi said as he steadily threw the arrow in his hand into the pot.

Lin Wangshu saw King Qi joining in and applauded: "Your Majesty, you are very skilled."

Li Tao followed the applause and said: "Xiaoyu, try it, just like the prince, just relax."

 “Xiaoyu? Yanran’s name?” King Qi turned around and asked.

Li Tao leaned forward and said, "Yes, Gu Huayu is another name for the princess."

The King of Qi murmured: "Looking at the flowers, the flowers are beautiful, the smiles are beautiful, wonderful!"

Gu Huayu didn't pay attention to King Qi's muttering, picked up an arrow and threw it into the pot. The arrow did as she expected and did not go into the pot.

When Li Tao saw the arrow falling outside the pot, he handed another arrow over and comforted him: "Don't be impatient, try again."

Gu Huayu took the arrow and took a deep breath, her expression visibly nervous. "This thing looks simple, but it's actually very difficult."

Lin Wangshu became nervous as he watched, "Princess, relax, don't be nervous."

Gu Huayu looked gratefully towards the forest and looked at herself. "Thank you Prince Lin."

With that said, Gu Huayu threw the arrow at the pot again. The arrow escaped from Gu Huayu's hand, tremblingly rushed to the front of the pot and fell.

Before anyone could speak, Gu Huayu reached out to Li Tao and said, "Give me another one."

Li Tao handed the arrow to Gu Huayu and did not forget to comfort him, "Don't be nervous, relax, it'll be fine."

Gu Huayu took the arrow, raised her hand and made two fake throws in the air to test the feel.

 King Qi stood on the side and said: "Yanran, take it easy..."

Before King Qi could finish what he said, Gu Huayu threw out the arrow in his hand. This time, the arrow fell steadily into the pot.

Li Tao stamped his feet and clenched his fists and waved, "! Xiaoyu, good job."

  King Qi’s eyes were full of appreciation.

Gu Huayu reached out and Li Tao handed the arrow to her hand tacitly.

Gu Huayu took the arrow and tried it first, then threw the arrow out. The arrow fell steadily into the pot again.

Li Tao and Lin Wangshu cheered for her, and King Qi smiled and congratulated her.

 Shi Yamei came over and said, "Xiaoyu, it's okay. Every shot is accurate."

Li Tao said before Gu Huayu could: "Xiaoyu must be right when he takes action! I have been looking forward to Pan Yuan's play for several years! Today, Xiaoyu has made my dream come true."

Shi Yamei sneered: "It's not like Xiaoyu is competing alone. So what if Xiaoyu hits all four arrows? What if you don't hit the shot yourself? It's all in vain!"

Li Tao was too lazy to argue with Shi Yamei. He raised the arrow in his hand and said, "Don't talk about whether you have these or not. It's up to you in the competition. Come, bring us some money. Let's guess the pros and cons and decide who goes first."

Izumi hurriedly handed over the money. Jiang Ying guessed correctly and his group voted first.

Jiang Ying's group and Li Cheng were weaker, putting in three shots, while the others put in four.

 The king of Qi made a group, and each one of them threw in, and all twelve arrows hit. The Qi Wang group won the first game.

 In the second game, Jiang Ying's group advanced. Gu Huayu, the king of Qi, put in three pieces, and the rest put in four pieces.

 The two groups were tied.

 In the third round, both sides hit the mark.

 So move the throwing point back two feet and compare again.

In this round, Jiang Ying’s team still voted first, Li Cheng’s team voted second, and the rest all scored.

It was the turn of the Qi Wang Group, Li Tao said to Gu Hua: "Relax, don't be nervous."

“Take care of yourself, Xiaoyu is more stable than you.” Shi Yamei seized every opportunity to ridicule Li Tao.

Li Tao glared at Shi Yamei and said, "Shi San, shut up."

Shi Yamei spread his hands and said, "Shut up, you can't make a shot either. If you don't believe me, try it."

Gu Hua said: "Don't argue with her, focus on yours."

Li Tao listened to Gu Huayu’s words and ignored Shi Yamei.

At the end of this round, Gu Huayu made three shots, Lin Wangshu made three shots, and King Qi and Li Tao made four shots.

 Both sides have the same number of arrows, so there is another round.

Li Cheng was so nervous that his hands were shaking, so he only made two shots, while the others hit all four.

It was the turn of King Qi's team. King Qi and Li Tao were as stable as ever, with all four winning, Gu Huayu winning three, and Lin Wangshu winning two.

Lin Wangshu apologized to King Qi: "I'm sorry, I'm holding everyone back."

Gu Huayu also looked apologetic.

Li Tao smiled and said: "It's just a game, just for fun, don't take it seriously."

King Qi patted Lin Wangshu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tao is right. It's rare for everyone to get together for fun, so don't take it to heart. After I have arranged Pan Yuan's play, I will inform everyone. Let’s go together.”

 Everyone bowed to King Qi to thank him, and Gu Huayu had no choice but to follow Fu Shen to say thank you.

Jiang Ying came over and wanted to talk to Gu Huayu. Wei Tian, ​​who was next to King Qi, came in and said, "Your Majesty, the food is ready. Do you want to pass it on now?"

  King Qi nodded, "Okay!"

　　The group of people returned to the private room, and the waiters poured in like water. They washed their hands and faces, and then receded like the tide.

Gu Huayu sat down, but by mistake, the table was already filled with delicacies.

 In line with the principle of saying nothing when eating and not speaking when sleeping, Gu Huayu only immersed herself in eating.

Li Tao knew that Gu Huayu had a strong taste, so whenever there was spicy food, he would pick it up for Gu Huayu.

At the end of the meal, Gu Huayu ate to the fullest.

 After dinner, after drinking two cups of tea, Gu Huayu and Shi Yamei stood up to say goodbye.

Li Tao then stood up and bowed to King Qi: "Your Majesty, I would like to see off the princess and Miss Shi San."

King Qi nodded and said, "Okay. Later, I will ask someone to send Pan Yuan's post to you."

Gu Huayu and Shi Yamei thanked each other and exited Penglai Hall.

Li Tao followed him out and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you going back to Wutong Lane or Taoyuan Street?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Go back to Wutong Lane. You don't have to see us off. I'll just go back with Yamei."

Li Tao shook his head and said: "I will send you back, otherwise I won't worry."

Shi Yamei said: "Anyway, he has nothing to do. If he wants to send it, just let him send it."

“That’s right, I have nothing to do anyway, so I’ll see you off just to eat.”

 Gu Huayu didn’t talk much anymore.

 Going to Panyuan to watch a play, Li Tao was in a strange mood and acted like a chatterbox along the way.

Gu Huayu said: "I can't tell you like going to the theater so much."

“He likes to watch Pan Yuan’s plays, but he doesn’t bother to watch other plays,” Shi Yamei said.

Gu Huayu was very curious about Pan Yuan. She had not been able to ask too many questions in front of everyone in Huixian Tower before.

“Pan Yuan performs a play every three days, and only thirty people can sit in each play. Can they support a troupe?”

Shi Yamei said: "Well, let Li Er tell you. He likes Pan Yuan's plays and knows a lot about the Pan family."

Li Tao said with a bit of pride: "Shi San is right to the point. I really have a serious understanding of the Pan family."
