After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.
Chapter 44 The First Person in Pitch-Pot
Everyone's eyes followed the arrow as it left their hand.
Rong Yingluo was no exception.
He threw the last arrow a little higher and with slightly more force, creating a parabola that fell from above towards the mouth of the pot, until the arrowhead pierced the other arrows, trembled twice, and fell into the pot.
Another round of applause followed.
They're definitely quite skilled.
"The Crown Prince Xuan is indeed worthy of his reputation. Even if Madam Gu also gets in, the two can only be considered to be evenly matched. Princess Jinyang still won't get the precious horse."
"Princess Jinyang came to surrender herself but still didn't get the precious horse, which shows that she was already mentally prepared."
Two people applauded the loudest and longest.
Rong Yingluo turned her head and saw that it was Princess Xiangyi and Gu Qingya. She didn't know when they had arrived.
It seems the two are close friends, sharing similar tastes.
"Brother Tai, you're amazing." Gu Qingya's smile was one that Rong Yingluo had never seen before.
Looking at the way Gu Qingya looked at Yuwen Tai, Rong Yingluo understood. It turned out that Gu Qingya wanted to marry the heir of the Xuan Prince, and her eyes revealed her affection and tenderness for her beloved.
Yuwen Tai was praised by a girl who was infatuated with him, and the smug look in his eyes became even more obvious. He cast a provocative glance at Rong Yingluo.
"Mrs. Gu, it's your turn." Yuwen Tai was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
A woman, with such a small spout, could barely manage to throw in three or five sticks, yet she dared to overestimate her abilities and stand up for Jin Yang.
"Why are you competing with Brother Tai? Rong Yingluo, do you even know where you are to embarrass the Gu family?" Gu Qingya then noticed that Gu Ce and Rong Yingluo were also standing in the crowd, and Brother Tai was talking to Rong Yingluo.
"Qingya, watch your words." Gu Ce's face turned cold, and the warning in his eyes was very clear.
Gu Qingya shrank back in fright.
The older brother never scolded her, but today he scolded her in front of so many people because of this woman.
Could it be that this woman has already captured the heart of my elder brother in just a few days?
On what grounds?
My brother is so indiscriminate. He can even be interested in a woman of her status.
"Big brother, how could she possibly know how to play the game of pitch-pot? She'll definitely make a fool of herself," Gu Qingya still tried to argue.
"This is none of your business. Watch your mouth," Gu Ce warned again.
To address Rong Yingluo by her full name in front of so many people is disrespectful to his sister-in-law and even more so to him, her elder brother.
Seeing how fierce Gu Ce was, Gu Qingya hid behind Princess Xiangyi and dared not utter another sound.
Princess Xiangyi also disliked Rong Yingluo, but she knew this was the palace, and she had already found out the whole story.
Rong Yingluo has asked for an opportunity to be humiliated by her elder brother; she just needs to wait and see the joke.
Rong Yingluo entered the arena amidst the anticipation of the crowd, who were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
He picked up the quiver and, like Yuwen Tai, took a large step back to stand still.
"Wow, really? Madam Gu wants to emulate Prince Xuan's son? Where does she get the confidence?" someone exclaimed in a low voice.
"Maybe she's really capable? You can't judge a book by its cover."
Rong Yingluo picked up five arrows, arranged them in her hand, and made sure the arrows were as close together as possible, forming a bundle.
"No way, she's going to fire all five arrows at once? That's so exciting. Is she just trying to attract attention because she knows she can't hit anything?" someone else couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Ce's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"How presumptuous of you!" Gu Qingya scoffed.
Yuwentai laughed out with even more contempt.
Rong Yingluo cleared her mind of all distractions, aimed at the spout of the pot, and with a flick of her wrist, five arrows flew out simultaneously, all heading in the same direction.
A few clanging sounds reached everyone's ears.
All five arrows landed in the mouth of the pot at the same time.
The entire venue was deathly silent.
"My goodness, am I seeing things?" Princess Jinyang was the first to react, clapping her hands in delight. "So beautiful!"
Gu Ce's eyes crinkled; he was indeed playing dumb to fool others.
Yuwentai's eyes widened like copper bells.
Princess Xiangyi's mouth was slightly open.
Gu Qingya was even more incredulous: "How is this possible?"
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Rong Yingluo picked up three more arrows and threw them out in the same way.
The three arrows landed steadily in the pot once again.
At this point, there was very little space left at the mouth of the pot, and the eight arrows formed a small funnel shape.
She dared not be careless, picked up the ninth arrow, aimed at the target, and slightly adjusted the angle.
Throw it out with more force.
The ninth arrow landed from above in the very center of the open bucket shape, embedding itself firmly inside.
"Good!" Princess Jinyang exclaimed loudly.
It was as if the BMW she had her eye on was right in front of her.
Rong Yingluo picked up the tenth arrow; this time the space was even smaller. The funnel shape was almost non-existent.
But you can still see a little gap.
Rong Yingluo spotted the opening and, just like Yuwentai, tested it twice to find the right angle. With a burst of force, the arrow flew from her hand.
Everyone watched the direction the arrow was flying with bated breath.
Ding!
"It's in! It's in!" Princess Jinyang ran forward and threw herself into Rong Yingluo's arms. "Young Madam Gu, you are the most skilled pitch-pot player I have ever seen."
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. It's a draw right now." Rong Yingluo gently patted her back.
"It's alright. Although it's a draw, everyone's eyes are sharp. You're much better than Tai Tang. You can shoot five arrows at once, which he definitely can't do. Not to mention him, I doubt anyone in the capital can do it." Princess Jinyang was overjoyed and hugged him tightly.
Rong Yingluo didn't believe her. There wasn't one in the capital; that was too exaggerated.
It's just that only noble sons and daughters don't have this skill; anyone with high martial arts skills can do it with a little practice.
Rong Yingluo used a little force to pull the person off her: "Your Highness, today I will definitely win you a fine horse and make Prince Xuan admit defeat wholeheartedly."
Princess Jinyang didn't know what else she was going to do, but she obediently stepped back.
Rong Yingluo picked up another arrow.
"No way, the bottle opening is completely blocked, how is she supposed to put it in?" someone exclaimed.
"Yes, I guess they wanted to test whether they could break the spout of the kettle. If that happened, they could throw in ten more without any problem."
"How much force can be exerted in pitch-pot? The mouth of the pot cannot be broken."
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Rong Yingluo had already thrown an arrow.
But instead of aiming for the spout, she went straight forward, applying just the right amount of force, and the arrow nestled perfectly between the two arrows.
She then changed directions three times, inserting four arrows horizontally between the ten arrows in front.
In this way, the parts of the ten arrows protruding from the mouth of the pot were forcibly stretched into a scattered flower shape.
"What is she trying to do?" some people wondered.
Yuwentai didn't understand her purpose in doing so.
These four arrows did not enter the pot, so they cannot be counted as a result of the pitching game.
Princess Jinyang was also confused: "Young Madam Gu, what are you doing?"
She couldn't wait to find out.
"You will know soon enough, Princess."
Princess Xiangyi and Gu Qingya were both stunned.
Everyone watched Rong Yingluo's performance with suspicion.
But Gu Ce had already figured out what Rong Yingluo was going to do.
Then Rong Yingluo picked up another arrow.
Fortunately, these arrows all had tips; without tips, it would have been virtually impossible for her to achieve her goal.
She stood in the same spot where she had originally thrown the arrow into the pot.
He picked up the fifteenth arrow, aimed carefully at the direction and position, and threw it with force.
