Madam Li was also stunned for a moment. Then, she walked over with a smile as if she did not hear Hsieh Hyun-chen's words. She praised, "Just now, I heard from the maid that the one who threw the lotus was His Royal Highness. I have been looking forward to it for many years. I wonder if I have the honor to see it today? "
After Madam Li finished speaking, the men behind her who had heard the news were also looking forward to it. Hsieh Hyun-chen's expression did not change. He said, "No."
Everyone was stunned. Mu Mingtang was a little disappointed. He looked at him, "Can't I? Actually, I want to see it. "
When Hsieh Hyun-chen heard Mu Mingtang's words, he turned around and glanced at her. He immediately changed his words, "Okay."
Madam Li had been socializing for many years, but this was the first time she felt what it meant to not know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, she still had many years of experience. When she saw the situation, she immediately reacted and waved to the maid, "His Royal Highness King An is in the mood. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the things over."
The maid obeyed and left. Following the commotion, more and more people were alarmed. Finally, everyone gathered outside Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang's room.
After a few maids brought the multi-eared pot and the arrow of command, Madam Li looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen and said carefully, "His Royal Highness, where do you think it would be convenient to put the pot?"
"Anywhere." Hsieh Hyun-chen said, "It doesn't matter where it is."
Mu Mingtang snorted in his heart. He secretly nudged Hsieh Hyun-chen with his elbow, indicating that he had a limit to his exaggeration and that it was enough.
Madam Li did not notice the small movements of the two people above. Hsieh Hyun-chen's words could be said to have given her a big problem. Madam Li pondered for a moment and placed the multi-eared pot in the open space outside, right below the table. The space around it was flat and spacious. Hsieh Hyun-chen could use it freely, and Mu Mingtang inside would be able to see it.
Hsieh Hyun-chen did not express any opinion. He extended a hand to the side. The maid understood and immediately presented the arrow. However, Hsieh Hyun-chen did not take it. He only took one arrow from the quiver and casually tossed it out of the pavilion.
Mu Mingtang, Mrs. Li, and the onlookers were all stunned. What was Hsieh Hyun-chen doing? Shouldn't throwing the pot be done by standing in front of it? At the very least, one should stand up and throw, right?
In the end, Hsieh Hyun-chen did not even change his sitting position, let alone move.
Mrs. Li had placed it outside the cubicle because she was afraid that the space inside the cubicle would be too small and she wouldn't be able to use it properly. She did not expect that Hsieh Hyun-chen did not move at all. Instead, he sat down and threw the bowl at the multi-eared pot outside through the half-closed bamboo curtain.
Mu Mingtang stared blankly as Hsieh Hyun-chen casually took one arrow and casually tossed it out. Then, the arrow bounced once in the pot, jumped out of the pot, and just happened to hang on his ear. The interval between each arrow was equal. The arrows outside seemed to be arranged in order. They hung in a circle in order, without even reversing the order.
Hsieh Hyun-chen threw the last arrow. The arrow accurately flew into the pot and bounced off the inner wall. It jumped out at a breathtaking angle and just happened to hang on his ear. It did not hit the surrounding arrows, nor did it deviate in the slightest. At this moment, all the arrows were neatly hanging on the ears of the pot, like a blooming lotus.
Hsieh Hyun-chen also withdrew his hand and casually said, "It's done."
Everything happened too quickly. Mu Mingtang did not even have time to react. She stared at the throwing pot outside and suspiciously asked, "Could it be that this is actually very simple?"
"It is indeed very simple." Hsieh Hyun-chen said, "Just practice a little and you'll be able to do it. They can't shoot well. Maybe they haven't practiced before. "
No, they had practiced, and they had practiced very diligently. All the Langjuns felt a critical blow. Why did Prince An use such a casual tone and say such despairing words?
What was even more frightening was that Prince An had not recovered from his illness for a long time. It was said that he was a patient who did not have long to live. This kind of strength, this kind of precise control, was actually just Hsieh Hyun-chen's weak state.
All the Langjuns felt a blow to their hearts. Was Prince An really so sick that he only had one breath left? Was this the standard of someone who was on the verge of death? Or was it that the gap between common people and geniuses was so despairing? They were not as weak as him when they were at their peak, and they were not as good as him when they tried their best.
Madam Li reacted and clapped her hands in surprise. The people around them echoed her words. However, in front of Hsieh Hyun-chen, no one dared to make a fuss. Not long after, the onlookers dispersed.
When the boys left, they all looked as if they had suffered a great blow.
Madam Li was full of praise. When the boys formed teams to play polo, Madam Li came over to ask, "Your Highness, do you want to play?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen took the time to glance at the polo field. When he saw who was on the field, he shook his head firmly and said, "No."
The boys on the field understood the meaning behind that look, and they felt a slight pain in their hearts.
However, Hsieh Hyun-chen did not want to play. Both teams breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after, the gong sounded, and the game began.
Mu Mingtang looked at the flying dust on the field and sighed. "I remember when I married you last year, you said that I should walk around more and watch the boys play polo. I didn't expect that in the end, you would bring me here. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen acted as if he did not hear her and did not reply. Mu Mingtang took this opportunity to remember more and kept urging Hsieh Hyun-chen, "Do you remember when we first got married, you said that you would let me remarry and that you would prepare a dowry for me? Let me think about what you said at the time. Oh right, you said that you didn't want to delay me. "
After saying this, Mu Mingtang looked at him with shining eyes. Hsieh Hyun-chen sighed in his heart, but he acted as if he did not remember. He said innocently, "Ah, I said something like that?"
"You said it!" Mu Mingtang looked at him unhappily and said, "I didn't agree, so you wanted to write a divorce letter for me. You also said that you would find gold and silver from the prince's treasury to give me as a gift. You wanted me to have money and find an honest man for the rest of my life, have children with him, and live a good life … "
"Alright, alright." The more Hsieh Hyun-chen listened, the more annoyed he became. He directly covered Mu Mingtang's mouth with his hand. "There's no such thing. Don't talk nonsense. It's inauspicious to talk about such things during the New Year. Hurry up and spit on the ground. "
Mu Mingtang angrily pried his hand away and said, "It's already February. What New Year is there? You really didn't say that? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen shook his head resolutely and said in a resolute tone, "No."
Mu Mingtang raised his eyebrows. Hsieh Hyun-chen was as calm and collected as an old dog. Mu Mingtang snorted softly and turned back to watch the match. He did not speak to Hsieh Hyun-chen again.
Hsieh Hyun-chen breathed a silent sigh of relief. Actually, when Mu Mingtang said this, he also felt that it was inconceivable. Had he said something like this before?
Write a divorce letter and pay a dowry for Mu Mingtang to remarry?
What was wrong with his brain?
Hsieh Hyun-chen was incomparably glad that Mu Mingtang did not write a divorce letter after scolding him. If he had really written it, he would be very upset now.
He did not care. In any case, Mu Mingtang did not have any evidence. As long as he did not admit to it, the matter of her remarrying did not happen.
It would not happen either.
After the first round of the polo match, the youths from both teams led their horses to the side to rest. Madam Li was really an expert at stirring up the atmosphere. She was afraid that the audience would be bored during the match, so she even invited an acrobatic troupe.
One of them was performing magic. This kind of person had the sharpest eyes. He could see that Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang were the most distinguished people here, so when he performed, he kept facing Mu Mingtang's direction.
He took out a piece of brocade cloth with butterflies and flowers printed on it. The texture was smooth and the pattern was exquisite. He showed the cloth to the audience and turned it back and forth. Then, he took out a pair of scissors and cut a few butterflies in a circle.
Mu Mingtang did not know what was going on. He stared at the other party curiously, not knowing what tricks he was playing. After the performer cut the butterflies, he casually blew and a real butterfly suddenly flew out. Mu Mingtang was shocked and exclaimed in a small voice.
The others also had a similar reaction and were extremely surprised. These butterflies were colorful, and their wings shone brightly under the sun. They circled the performer twice and suddenly flew in the direction of Mu Mingtang.
The performer smiled and said, "This little one's butterfly is transformed from the butterfly on the brocade cloth. It has the most spiritual aura and can recognize beautiful people."
The butterflies had already flown to Mu Mingtang's side and did not seem to be afraid of people at all. Mu Mingtang knew that this must be the performer's trick. No matter who was sitting here, the performer's butterfly would fly to the first seat. However, it had to be said that a woman's happiness was so simple and easy to understand. Mu Mingtang knew that this was an illusion, but he was still pleased by the saying that the butterflies could recognize beautiful people.
She was looking at the butterflies when she suddenly saw two fly to Hsieh Hyun-chen's side. They seemed to want to land on Hsieh Hyun-chen's body, but Hsieh Hyun-chen coldly waved them away. Mu Mingtang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Hsieh Hyun-chen glanced at Mu Mingtang with a straight face. Mu Mingtang was not afraid of him at all. He smiled and said, "This butterfly really can recognize beautiful people."
Hsieh Hyun-chen's expression was not very good, but he was not angry. This shocked the audience. Oh my god, did Hsieh Hyun-chen become a Buddhist? His temper is so good?
If this was in the past, why don't you try playing this kind of joke with him?
Even the King of Hell couldn't save you in time.
Mu Mingtang looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen's smile and was overjoyed. The butterflies flew for a while and returned to the performer's side. The performer waved his sleeve and the butterflies all disappeared. At this time, he took out the cloth just now. The butterflies on it were still alive and intact.
Mu Mingtang sighed in admiration and immediately applauded. Everyone in the hall exclaimed in admiration and applause. Hsieh Hyun-chen also looked very satisfied and said, "You deserve to be rewarded for pleasing the Princess. Your cloth, other than the green one, send the rest to Prince An's Imperial Residence. "
The performer had put in the effort to use illusion to gain favor. It was obvious that he wanted to promote his cloth. He wanted to please Mu Mingtang because of this. However, even if the performer had expected this, when he heard Hsieh Hyun-chen's generosity, he was still shocked.
He was surprised and happy. He quickly thanked Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang. He was quick-witted and knew that Prince An was so happy because the Princess smiled. The performer was blessed with good fortune and repeatedly praised Mu Mingtang.
Mu Mingtang had a smile on his face. He was a little embarrassed. In the end, the performer left with a smile. Both the host and the guest were happy. When the others saw this, they were secretly amazed by Hsieh Hyun-chen's wealth and generosity.
After all, cloth was for novelty. What was the point of keeping the same cloth? However, because Mu Mingtang liked it, he didn't even blink an eye and bought all of it just to please the woman.
He was so rich that it made people jealous. He was so overbearing that it made people sad. After all, the promotion of illusion needed the support of everyone present. The better the performer's illusion, the more things they would sell in the end.
Hsieh Hyun-chen had a monopoly. Actually, they also wanted … …
Mu Mingtang didn't need to worry about the brocade. The Imperial Residence would naturally send someone to take care of it. She turned and asked Hsieh Hyun-chen, "Why don't you want the green one? What if the green one is very beautiful? "
"No matter how beautiful it is, it won't work." Hsieh Hyun-chen said leisurely, "I hate that color."
Mu Mingtang glared at him in disdain. His eyes were full of smiles.
In the Jin Imperial Residence, Jiang Mingwei leaned against the window in boredom. She counted the green buds on the tree to kill time. She was halfway through counting when she heard movement next door. There seemed to be many people going in and out.
Jiang Mingwei raised her head and asked, "What's wrong? Why is it so noisy?"
After she finished speaking, a maidservant hurriedly walked in from outside and bowed to Jiang Mingwei, "Replying to Wangfei, An Wangfei went to the garden party and her carriage just came back. I heard that Prince An spent a lot of money to buy a lot of brocade for Princess An. Now, they are moving these things. "
It was her again. She was tired of hearing about how Hsieh Hyun-chen treated her. It was really infuriating to hear these words when she was unlucky.
After the incident in Shangyuan, although the Emperor did not pursue Jiang Mingwei's responsibility in the end, as a member of the Imperial Family, did they have to issue an imperial edict to scold you to be punished? Xie Xuanji was cold to her. The Empress did not even want to see her and directly bestowed people to Xie Xuanji. These women were bestowed by mother-in-law and could not be touched. Jiang Mingwei could not even put on the airs of a legal wife in front of them.
She was not as good as Lian Han. At least Lian Han did not dare to use the Empress to pressure her.
Jiang Mingwei sighed and leaned on the couch. After a while, she asked, "Whose banquet did they go to, why did they buy so many things?"
"This servant is not clear. I heard that it was Lady Li's garden party. Lady Li invited people to perform illusions. They were able to create butterflies from brocade. It was said that these butterflies recognized beauties and all flew to Princess An on the spot. Princess An was very happy when she saw it, so Prince An rewarded the performers. "
There were actually people who believed such a superficial trick. In order to promote their products, those people would flatter everyone. Those butterflies were obviously specially trained.
Mu Mingtang did not understand such an obvious trick. Did Hsieh Hyun-chen not understand it? But this was what made people hate it. So what if they understood? One was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit.
She could not think about these things. The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt. Jiang Mingwei comforted herself. After the incident in Shangyuan, the Emperor would definitely not tolerate Hsieh Hyun-chen. Although she made a mistake out of kindness and implicated Xie Xuanji, Xie Xuanji was still the Emperor's biological son. As long as Jiang Mingwei was Xie Xuanji's legal wife, she would occupy the position of the future Empress. What she needed to do was not let the Emperor's impression of her turn bad.
But as for Hsieh Hyun-chen, he had already committed a great taboo. When the people presented the dragon lanterns, everyone cheered for the descending of the true dragon. Long live the Emperor and long live the Empress. It was he and Mu Mingtang who were present. The Emperor would not tolerate them if the True Dragon descended to the mortal world.
Previously, the Emperor wanted to save face and reputation, so he was unwilling to do anything. Now, the threat was growing. The Emperor would not avoid it anymore.
Hsieh Hyun-chen's death was right in front of them.
When Hsieh Hyun-chen died, who could Mu Mingtang rely on? Mu Mingtang might be happy now, but every step she took was heading towards destruction.
What Jiang Mingwei needed to do was to endure it a little longer.
Jiang Mingwei secretly waited for Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang to fall. In fact, Mu Mingtang was also discussing this matter.
She used the excuse of enjoying the spring scenery to take a walk in the garden with Hsieh Hyun-chen. Mu Mingtang took the opportunity to pull the people behind them away and quietly talked about the Cleansing Adversity Pill.
"Now that the New Year is over, there are no more taboos in the palace. They will definitely take action. I always have the Cleansing Adversity Pill with me, but there are not many left in the storeroom. What should I do? "
The author has something to say: Today is the Day of Amnesia.
—
Madam Li requested Hsieh Hyun-chen to perform.
Hsieh Hyun-chen: What does it have to do with me?
Everyone complained that Hsieh Hyun-chen forcibly monopolized the show.
Hsieh Hyun-chen: What does it have to do with you?
Mu Mingtang mentioned that she once remarried.
