"I bet that Miss Duanmu will win!" Murong Xinlian also bet on Duanmu Yiyi, and Murong Jun even more so. He had always looked down on Murong Qiqi, not to mention that Duanmu Yiyi was a stunning beauty. Of course, she had to please no one.
Finally, Duanmu Hongchen looked at his sister and Murong Qiqi and smiled apologetically at Murong Qiqi. He placed a jade pendant in front of Duanmu Yiyi. "I'm sorry, Third Miss."
"It's fine." Siblings should help each other. Murong Qiqi did not think that her relationship with Duanmu Hongchen was worth it for him to give up his sister to bet on her.
As such, both sides had the same number of bets. However, Murong Qiqi's bet was obviously more expensive, making Duanmu Yiyi feel very unbalanced. The four aristocratic families had a good relationship, but the other three seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, placing their bets on Murong Qiqi. How could Duanmu Yiyi not be angry?
"Murong Qiqi, what are you betting on? This is a bet between the two of us. You have to bet as well! But look at how poor you are, you won't be able to take out any valuable treasures. "
Gritting her teeth, Duanmu Yiyi took off the egg-sized East Sea Pearl she was wearing. "If you win, this pearl is yours. If you lose- "
Duanmu Yiyi glanced at the cold surface of the lake and smiled viciously. Pointing at the sparkling lake, she said, "I want you to jump into the lake!"
Murong Qiqi was finally annoyed by Duanmu Yiyi's persistence. She had tolerated it for a long time, but this woman was still so insistent. There was no need for her to hold back anymore.
"Alright!" Murong Qiqi took out a box and opened it, placing it in front of the crowd. Inside the box was a jade-white pill that emitted an elegant fragrance. "This is the Snow Skin Pill. If I lose, it's yours. If I win, you have to jump into the lake too! "
"Snow Skin Pill?" They had thought that Murong Qiqi did not have any treasures. Who would have thought that she would use Young Master Lotus' Snow Skin Pill? This immediately changed the way they looked at her.
The Snow Skin Pill was a holy item for beautifying one's skin. It was made by the Strange Doctor Lotus. If one were to consume it, one would remain young forever. But why did Murong Qiqi have this?
"Just because you say it's a Snow Skin Pill? Who knows what kind of rubbish you'll give me … "
Before Duanmu Yiyi could finish speaking, Bai Mufei had already picked up the box. After looking at it carefully, Bai Mufei said, "It really is the Snow Skin Pill! Third Miss is really generous! "
Bai Mufei's "Poison Eye" was recognized by everyone. Even he was sure that this was the "Snow Skin Pill", so no one else raised any objections.
Why would Murong Qiqi have the Snow Skin Pill? Or did she know Strange Doctor Lotus? At this moment, Murong Xinlian's heart felt as if a seasoning bottle had been knocked over, it had a weird taste. She wanted to watch the show, to see Duanmu Yiyi humiliate Murong Qiqi, but for some reason, Murong Xinlian was actually a little worried.
Murong Qiqi gave Murong Xinlian too many surprises. Was she really that delicate and pitiful Murong Qiqi from this afternoon?
Duanmu Yiyi's eyes lit up as she stared at the Snow Skin Pill. If she could defeat Murong Qiqi and obtain this treasure, she would definitely give it to her aunt, Duanmu Qing. There wasn't a woman who didn't love beauty, let alone the mistress of the harem. Didn't Murong Xuelian rely on her foxy face to win the emperor's favor and become the imperial noble consort?!
When she presented the Snow Skin Pill, her aunt would definitely be overjoyed and would definitely reward her. At that time, she could mention the matter of Longze Jingtian to her aunt. Princess Consort Jing, this position belonged to her, Duanmu Yiyi! She definitely wouldn't lose to that good-for-nothing Murong Qiqi!
"Murong Qiqi, you can't practice martial arts, so I won't compete with you in this. Otherwise, I'll win with an unfair advantage. Today, this young miss will compete with you in zither skills! I also want to play the zither and sing at the same time! "
Although Duanmu Yiyi's words were dignified, everyone knew that she was most skilled at playing the zither. When it came to playing the zither, even the number one beauty in the capital, Murong Xinlian, had to concede defeat in front of her. Furthermore, Duanmu Yiyi had a voice that was as moving as an oriole. If they were to compete like this, it was obvious that she was bullying Murong Qiqi.
"Duanmu Yiyi, this kind of competition is too unfair." Shangguan Wuji once again couldn't help but defend Murong Qiqi. He couldn't stand Duanmu Yiyi's domineering manner. Murong Qiqi clearly didn't do anything, so why did Duanmu Yiyi have to make things difficult for her?
"Shangguan Wuji, this is a bet between me and her, it's none of your business! Murong Qiqi, if you know what's good for you, then obediently admit defeat and jump into the lake yourself. Who knows, maybe there will be a hero saving the damsel in distress — — "Duanmu Yiyi glanced at Murong Qiqi and the ridicule in her eyes was obvious.
"Young Miss Duanmu, I think there must be something wrong with your ears. When did I say that I would lose?"
Murong Qiqi's originally gentle face became cold. Shangguan Wuji had defended her several times, so she had already regarded him as a friend. Now that Duanmu Yiyi was even mocking Shangguan Wuji, Murong Qiqi couldn't help but become angry.
"Rather than mocking me, why don't you think about how to win against me? If Young Miss Duanmu loses to a trash like me today, I'm afraid that your face will be thrown all the way to your grandmother's house — — "Murong Qiqi lightly snorted as the elegance in her eyes overshadowed Duanmu Yiyi's brilliance.
"You!" Duanmu Yiyi was rendered speechless by Murong Qiqi's words. "Murong Qiqi, don't be so stubborn! Men, bring me my zither! "
Duanmu Yiyi's instrument was a zither, and it was the famous "Jade Waves Zither". It seemed like this young miss was prepared. However, Murong Qiqi didn't mind at all. She only asked someone to bring a willow zither and tested its tone.
Seeing the willow zither in Murong Qiqi's arms, Duanmu Yiyi snorted disdainfully. Willow zithers were mostly used by folk artists. Noble ladies mostly learned the elegant zither and zither. Who would play that kind of thing? Just based on this, Duanmu Yiyi felt that she had won.
However, even so, Duanmu Yiyi was still very cautious. She knew that she couldn't lose today, and this was a competition where one had to know their opponent. Thus, she retreated to the side and allowed Murong Qiqi to play first.
"Are you sure?" Sensing Duanmu Yiyi's thoughts, Murong Qiqi was very disdainful. Carrying the willow zither, she sat down on a boulder by the side of the pavilion. Plucking the strings with her jade-like fingers, the song "Laughing at the World of Mortals" flowed out from the gaps between her fingers.
"The world of mortals is laughable, infatuation is the most boring, supercilious is also good, this life isn't over, but the heart has nothing to worry about, I only want to be free for the rest of my life, smiling at people when I wake up, forgetting everything in my dreams, sighing that the sky darkens too early, life unpredictable, love and hate written off, singing to wine, I only wish to be happy until I grow old …"
