Chapter 166: Forced and Reverse
“It seems Imperial sister-in-law still has a childlike innocence, actually playing around with a child’s nonsense.” After waiting for a long time, Cheng Furen didn’t come out from the scene. So, Lin Chujiu is sure that she is certainly not in this party. Otherwise, Cheng Furen will never let her daughter provoke her.
Lin Chujiu look at Cheng Xiaoqi with sympathy: Poor child, she didn’t know she’s only being used.
Princess Fu An didn’t understand the meaning of Lin Chujiu’s words, so she only laughed and said: “Today is this imperial princess’s birthday, why don’t we keep playing with harmony oh? This imperial princess is looking forward to this child’s special gift. Princess Xiao please cooperate and let this imperial princess see what this child has prepared, okay?”
“Let’s hear it.” Lin Chujiu didn’t refuse but didn’t also agree.
Cheng Xiaoqi didn’t understand Lin Chujiu’s words, so she stood up to the stage and said a simple rule. And then, she asks someone to bring the bow and arrow.
“Princess Xiao, rest assured. I practice at home for six months, so I will not miss.” Cheng Xiaoqi’s eyes flashed with malicious intent.
Princess Fu An smiled and said: “It’s quite interesting. Princess Xiao, what do you think?”
Lin Chujiu faintly smile but didn’t answer. Nor stop Cheng Xiaoqi’s plans.
Even though Cheng Xiaoqi’s special gift is a lot more dangerous than she claimed.
Cheng Xiaoqi explains with a smile that she sought artisans to make this special firework for Princess Fu An. This firework is made with special materials, so it doesn’t need to be ignited with fire. It only needs to be shot by a special arrow to be ignited.
But because of its special design, it shouldn’t fall, nor be put on the ground. So, a person needs to hold it. Cheng Xiaoqi hopes that person would be Lin Chujiu. As for what reason? She said that when the firework explodes, only a beautiful woman like Lin Chujiu could enhance its beauty.
Of course, Cheng Xiaoqi also explained that the firework is not made of gunpowder, so she won’t get hurt. But, as for what kind of materials it was made, she said it was a secret.
After hearing the explanations, Lin Chujiu is much more convinced that this plan is not formulated by Cheng Xiaoqi. In order to put her in shame, Princess Fu An really made a careful plan.
Soon, things have been prepared.
Cheng Xiaoqi didn’t lie. The “special firework” has a triangular bottom, so it cannot hold itself to the ground.
“Princess Xiao, please ... ...” Cheng Xiaoqi took the bow and arrow that was brought by a servant and maliciously smile.
“Princess Xiao, may this imperial princess trouble you.” Princess Fu An also pressured Lin Chujiu with a smile. While the other young misses are naturally excited about the show.
“Oh ... ...” Lin Chujiu smile and was about to get up, but she heard Feicui’s anxious words: “Wangfei don’t.”
There might be no danger, but once the arrow has been shot, no person would stay calm. So, if Lin Chujiu got scared, these people would definitely laugh and ridicule her.
Moreover, this firework’s materials are unknown, so if in case it explodes, what will they do?
Besides, what if Princess Fu An deliberately ordered Cheng Xiaoqi to “miss” the shot?
For them, this little girl’s life is worth nothing compared to their Wangfei’s life.
“It’s alright.” Lin Chujiu raised her hand, indicating for Feicui to move away, and then she got up and said: “Today is imperial princess sister-in-law’s birthday, so how could this princess make her unhappy.”
Lin Chujiu took the “special firework” that was handed by a servant. And then, she gracefully walks towards the stage. As soon as Cheng Xiaoqi saw Lin Chujiu come, her eyes shine brightly, as her grip to bow tightens... ...
As long as she killed Lin Chujiu according to the plan. Her father and brother will be fine.
Everyone nervously looked at Lin Chujiu who’s walking towards the stage. While Princess Fu An’s smile becomes more and more gentle.
However, the next second, everyone was dumbfounded!
Lin Chujiu didn’t go to the designated area, instead, she walked towards Cheng Xiaoqi in a hurry, preventing her to react.
Before Cheng Xiaoqi could even react, Lin Chujiu was already in front of her: “Princess... ...”
Cheng Xiaoqi only said a word, but the bow and arrow were already been taken away by Lin Chujiu in her hands: “Good girl, very obedient.”
After saying those words, Lin Chujiu put the “special firework” in Cheng Xiaoqi’s hands and said: “Hold it carefully. Don’t let your hands shake.”
Lin Chujiu turn around and walked to the opposite side. And then, she stretches the bowstring and aligns the arrow towards Cheng Xiao: “Miss Cheng, could you lift it up!”
“This, what’s going on?” Everyone was dumbfounded.
How come in a blink of an eye, the two-person on the stage had reversed their position?
“Princess Xiao... ...” In dissatisfaction, Princess Fu An immediately send out a cry, but Lin Chujiu didn’t let her speak: “Imperial sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll let you see Miss Cheng’s special birthday gift. You’ll see it soon.”
“No, no ... ...” Seeing the “special fireworks in her hands, Cheng Xiaoqi felt lost in words.
“Miss Cheng, don’t freeze in there. Lift up the firework. This princess’s hands are getting sour.” In order to prove her words, Lin Chujiu deliberately let the bow and arrow shook her hands.
“Princess Xiao, I didn’t ask you to shoot.” Princess Fu An insisted in anger.
Cheng Xiaoqi also reacted, she grips the “special firework” and walks towards Lin Chujiu: “Princess Xiao, I asked you help me hold the firework.”
“Stand still, don’t move ... ... If I accidentally shoot, I might scratch your beautiful face.” Lin Chujiu lift the arrow to show that she is serious.
Cheng Xiaoqi got scared and didn’t move.
Princess Fu An tightly frowned her eyebrows, she cannot wait to open her mouth, but she heard Lin Chujiu said: “Imperial sister-in-law, I only agreed to help. But, as for how I will help, that is for me to decide. Everyone, you want to see Miss Cheng’s special gift, I’ll let you all see it.”
After she finished, Lin Chujiu shook her hands: “Miss Cheng, this princess’s patience is limited. Quickly put the fireworks up.”
“I, I ... ...” Seeing the arrow towards her, Cheng Xiaoqi’s legs involuntary soften.
“Miss Cheng, don’t be afraid. This princess archery was personally taught by Wangye. Even if you can’t believe in my skill, you believe in the God of War’s archery skill, right?” Once again, Lin Chujiu shamelessly use Xiao Tianyao as a shield. Feicui and the others cover up their face. And inside their heart, they couldn’t help but say... ...
Wangye, we’re sorry, we let Wangfei ruined your reputation.
“I, I’m not afraid.” I’m only scared of ghost.
“Of course, Miss Cheng is as brave as a tiger, why would she get scared.” Lin Chujiu “sincerely” give Cheng Xiaoqi a praise, so she won’t retreat.
The other people wanted to stop Lin Chujiu because what was her doing is dangerous. But, after remembering that they didn’t stop Princess Fu An and Cheng Xiaoqi’s persuasion. They realized that they will only slap their own face.
Cheng Xiaoqi keep staring at Princess Fu An to ask for help, but Princess Fu An didn’t look at her.
Cheng Xiaoqi’s eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. If only she knew that things would become like this, then she... ...
Cheng Xiaoqi gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. Then, she lifted her arms to expose the “special firework: “Princess Xiao, I’m ready.”
Lin Chujiu pointed the arrow directly to the red dot on the “special firework”.
However, things are easier said than done. Especially, because... ...
