Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 5: Skirt Banquet ()

The person who fell into the water here has been rescued. The one who went into the water to save him was Bai Junzhe, because Bai Rouer was there when he fell into the water.

Bai Rou'er was wearing little to begin with, and now her whole body was wet, clinging tightly to her body, revealing her curves. Her hair was loose, and wetly stuck to her face. Her hairpin was gone, and two mallard feathers were stuck on it. Her whole head looked like a pile of half-dried cow dung.

The third princess, Yu Xinyao, was used to big scenes. The two people who fell into the water were not people of high status, so it would not affect anything. She was not in a hurry. She asked the servants and maids to carry away the people who fell into the water and the people who flew in the air. She quickly cleaned up the banquet scene and then announced that the game of tossing pots would continue.

The female official continued to draw people to participate in the pot-throwing game, and Qiao Lili heard her call again: "Qiao Lili."

What's going on? If I don't get myself into the water, this game won't end, right? Haha.

"..."

"Su Shiyun."

When Qiao Lili saw Su Shiyun's face blushing, she thought it was because she was young and shy to participate in the competition in front of so many people. In fact, it was because there was a man among the men drawn just now, Ke Yang.

"Sister Lili, let's go." Su Shiyun took Qiao Lili's hand and happily went onto the stage on the lake.

"Ms. Su, Miss Qiao." Someone from the male team greeted Qiao Lili and Su Shiyun.

"Mr. Ke." The two also nodded. Just now after the lantern riddle competition, when Ke Yang stood up and saluted everyone, Qiao Lili was far away and roughly saw his outline. Now, when she saw him, she saw that Ke Yang was tall and slender, with a handsome face, and was indeed a handsome young man in this corrupt world.

Several girls in the female team had stars in their eyes.

"The game begins." After the female official in charge made the announcement, one man from the men's team threw the first shot and hit all three targets.

The first person to throw the ball on the women's team was Su Shiyun. A young girl who had not even reached the age of marriage, under the gaze of so many people, she was the first to throw the ball, while the others still hit the target. She held Qiao Lili's hand tighter and tighter, and her heart was sweating.

"Don't be anxious, don't panic, it doesn't matter what happens." Qiao Lili comforted her. Just as she was about to get the arrows for her, she saw a man coming over with three arrows. It was Ke Yang.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you." Ke Yang handed the arrow to Su Shiyun.

After hearing what he said, Su Shiyun's face turned even redder.

"Thank you." Su Shiyun said with a red face, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Ke Yang in front of her. Qiao Lili felt a hostile gaze looking at her, she thought it was directed at her again, she looked back provocatively, but didn't see who it was.

Only one of the three arrows hit the target, which was not a very good result. Su Shiyun felt that she would definitely lower the team's score and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

She was anxious to get out of the competition and walk to the side to digest her sadness. Qiao Lili wanted to send her back to her seat first to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable on the stage. As she was walking, suddenly, a foot stretched out from the side and stepped on Su Shiyun's skirt. At this time, Qiao Lili and Su Shiyun had already walked to the edge of the stage, and Su Shiyun's body tilted and was about to fall into the water.

Qiao Lili grabbed her arm. At this time, her body had already fallen into the water and her skirt was soaked in water. Qiao Lili held one of her arms and refused to let go. "Use your other hand to hold on to the stage." Qiao Lili said to Su Shiyun who was obviously frightened.

Su Shiyun was already crying with fear at this time: "I, I don't have the strength." She tried several times, but couldn't keep her body balanced, and her hands couldn't reach the edge of the stage.

Qiao Lili's sweat dripped down. It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to support a body that weighed almost as much as her and was twisting constantly. Because of Su Shiyun's twisting, her arms were rubbed by the edge of the stage and bled.

"Shiyun, hold on." While she was cheering Su Shiyun, she was also cheering herself up. She knew that as long as they held on a little longer, Caiqi would come to rescue them.

At this time, everyone on the stage watched this critical moment. The noble ladies were in chaos and could not come to rescue them. They also blocked Cai Qi's way over.

People from the men's team ran over to help, and the fastest one was Ke Yang.

He leaned over to the edge of the stage, reached out and grabbed Su Shiyun's other hand, and together with Qiao Lili, they pulled Su Shiyun out of the water and onto the stage.

Su Shiyun, who survived the disaster, threw herself into Qiao Lili's arms tremblingly, crying inconsolably.

There were two pitching pot competitions and people fell into the water both times. The previous people who fell into the water were a relative of an eighth-rank official and a bastard of the family. Neither of them were important people and did not affect the progress of the banquet.

But the one who fell into the water this time was the youngest daughter of Su Daxueshi. Everyone knew that Su Daxueshi's wife gave birth to four sons before she got pregnant with this daughter. He loved her like the apple of his eye. It was unbelievable that she fell into the water while attending a banquet at the princess's mansion.

Both pitching pot competitions were abandoned halfway. Yu Xinyao was so angry that her face turned blue. Su Shiyun falling into the water was not in her plan. It can be said that the three people who fell into the water were not in her plan. The person who should have fallen into the water is still fine.

Yu Xinyao looked at Qiao Lili with an unfriendly look. No, she was not that good either. In order to save Su Shiyun, her arm was injured, and blood stained her sleeves red. Her tea-white dress was also covered with dust. The intense force caused the bun and hairpins on her head to be a little messy and crooked.

Yu Xinyao's mood suddenly improved, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She told the female official in charge to quickly have Qiao Lili and Su Shiyun taken to change clothes and wash up.

Cai Qi finally broke through the encirclement of the noble ladies and arrived at Qiao Lili's side: "Miss, you are injured." When she shouted, Su Shiyun quickly withdrew from Qiao Lili's arms, looked Qiao Lili up and down, and found bloodstains on her sleeves.

She was not injured, but Qiao Lili was injured. "Sister Lili, you are injured, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." The tears that Qiao Lili had just persuaded her to stop fell again. She wanted to see how badly Qiao Lili was injured, but in front of everyone, she couldn't roll up Qiao Lili's sleeves to check.

"You didn't mean it. It's just a minor injury. It's okay." Qiao Lili comforted her. She actually saw who stepped on Su Shiyun's skirt, but it was not appropriate to talk about it now. Both of their clothes were dirty. Su Shiyun's shoes and skirt were still wet. They had to be changed as soon as possible. The lake water in April was still very cold.

At this time, Chen Ruxin came over with Su Shiyun's maid. Qiao Lili asked Chen Ruxin to accompany Su Shiyun to change clothes. "Ruxin, please take care of her. After she changes her clothes, please send her back. We need to ask a doctor to see if she was frightened or caught a cold."

Qiao Lili touched Su Shiyun's cheek: "Go home with Sister Ruxin, I will see you tomorrow." Su Shiyun nodded with sobs, and was pulled away by Chen Ruxin, looking back every few steps.

"Lili, you should also bandage your wound quickly and then go home." Chen Ruxin was still reminding her before she left. After she took a few steps, she came back and whispered in Qiao Lili's ear: "I always feel that today's banquet is weird. You should be careful."

Qiao Lili gave her a reassuring smile.

Once you send all your good friends away, it's time for evil spirits to show up.
