Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 198 It's really amazing!

Hua Manman turned to look at the man beside him, and asked curiously.

"Who are they?"

Li Ji said casually: "They used to live next to the Zhen Guogong's mansion."

Hua Manman was very surprised. These days, distant relatives are more important than close neighbors. King Zhao used to live in Zhen Guogong's mansion. When he was a child, he would definitely play with the children next door.

In other words, King Zhao and the two people just now are good friends who grew up together.

But judging from their reactions just now, it seems that the relationship between the two parties is not harmonious.

Did something happen?

Li Ji heard her voice and said something indifferently.

"The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other."

Hua Manman nodded half-understanding: "That's it."

The two walked along Changle Street for a while, and found that there were still people playing throwing pots in front of them.

It is different from those around you who need to rely on guessing lantern riddles to win lanterns.

The owner of this shop was ingenious and made a game of throwing pots and winning lights.

There are more than a dozen pots of different sizes and shapes on the open space in front of the shop. As long as the participants can throw arrows into one of the pots, they can get the lantern corresponding to that pot.

Guessing lantern riddles is generally participated by scholars, and many people don't even know the words, let alone guessing lantern riddles.

In contrast, this way of throwing pots and winning lights has a lower threshold.

It does not require participants to be able to read and write, just to have hands.

Therefore, many people gathered in front of the shop, and many of them were eager to give it a try.

Hua Manman is also quite interested.

She turned to look at the man beside her, and asked in an expectant tone.

"Can you throw pots?"

Li Ji said leisurely: "I played it a long time ago."

Hua Manman smiled and said: "As long as you know how to play, that's fine."

She struggled to get to the front of the crowd, and found out that throwing pots was not free, and she had to pay ten cents first.

So Hua Manman took out ten copper coins from her purse, put them in front of the shopkeeper, and took three arrows from him.

Standing on tiptoe, she straightened her arms and waved vigorously at King Zhao who was outside the crowd.

"Come here!"

Relying on his tall and straight figure, as well as his daunting aura, Li Ji walked to Hua Manman's side with ease.

Hua Manman shows himself throwing an arrow.

Not surprisingly, it missed.

The store manager comforted him with a smile on his side.

"It's okay to miss once, you still have two chances, maybe you will hit it next time."

Hua Manman knew that her skills were not good enough, so she was not disappointed with the result.

She handed over the remaining two arrows to King Zhao.

"Come and try!"

Li Ji weighed the arrow in his hand, and found that its arrowhead was heavier than ordinary arrowheads, but its tail feathers were smaller.

This kind of arrow is difficult to throw very far.

There were so many people throwing the pot just now, but there are very few people who can throw this kind of arrow into the pot.

Even if they managed to make a hit, they were all the closest pots, such as those distant pots that looked tall at first glance, none of them could hit a single one.

Li Ji glanced at the shopkeeper standing next to him, knowing in his heart that this was done on purpose by the shopkeeper, in order to make it difficult for the participants to vote.

Hua Manman waved his small fist: "Come on!"

Li Ji casually threw the arrow forward.

At the moment when the arrow was out of his hand, he was suddenly in a daze, and couldn't help but think of how many years ago, his father wrapped his little hand with his thick palm with calluses, and told him how to throw the arrow into the pot.

After he learned to throw pots, he happily ran to find his friends to play pitch pots together.

At that time, he not only had parents, but also friends.

His life is sunny every day, wanton and happy, carefree.

But since his father passed away, he had the ability to read minds, and only then did he realize that there are so many unknown shadows hidden under the sun.

His personality became more and more eccentric, and his friends alienated him one by one, and now no one is willing to play throwing pot with him anymore.

The arrow fell into the pot farthest away, making a crisp sound.

The onlookers exclaimed.

Li Ji came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet Shang Hua Manman's joyful eyes.

She grabs his arm, jumping around and cheering.

"I hit it! You are too good!"

Infected by her emotions, Li Ji couldn't help but curled the corners of his lips and smiled.

Even the haze in my heart dissipated a lot.

Hua Manman reminded: "There is still an arrow, you shoot quickly."

This time Li Ji didn't think about all the past, raised his hand and threw the arrow, the arrow drew a beautiful arc in midair, and landed steadily into the farthest pot.

The crowd burst into applause again.

Actually hit the farthest pot twice!

It's amazing!

Hua Manman screamed excitedly.

"My God, you are a sharpshooter!"

Li Ji had a smile in his eyes, enjoying the admiration from her very much.

After her excitement gradually passed away, Li Ji just opened her mouth to remind her.

"Don't forget to ask for lanterns."

Hua Manman slapped his forehead: "That's right, that's right, I almost forgot there are prizes!"

She was so happy just now that she forgot the original intention of throwing the pot.

She hurried to the shopkeeper to ask for the prize.

The shopkeeper's heart is bleeding.

In order to attract attention, he took out all the most expensive lanterns in the store as prizes, as long as he could hit the farthest pot, he could take that lantern away.

He deliberately made the arrow top-heavy, just to prevent everyone from hitting the farthest pot.

But I didn't expect that someone could shoot the farthest pot.

He's at a loss tonight!

However, there are still many people around watching, and Li Ji is not easy to mess with at first glance, the shopkeeper dare not play tricks, so he can only endure the pain in his heart, take out the exquisite lantern, and hand it over to Hua Manman hand.

Hua Manman asked: "We shot two arrows, shouldn't there be two lights?"

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "I'm really sorry, this lantern is only one, we really can't get a second one, or...how about you look at others? I'll send you another lantern how?"

Hua Manman wasn't overbearing, so he picked another lantern in the shop that looked pleasing to the eye.

She handed one of the lanterns to King Zhao and asked him to play with it.

Li Ji said no.

He is not a child, and he is not interested in things like lanterns.

Hua Manman had no choice but to carry a lantern in each hand.

But in this way, she couldn't hold King Zhao's hand.

Li Ji walked a few steps, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He stretched out his hand: "Give me a lantern."

Hua Man was puzzled: "Aren't you not interested in lanterns?"

Li Ji: "I was just not interested just now, but now I am suddenly interested again."

Hua Manman mutters to himself, the dog man is really fickle.

She handed over a lantern.
