The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 246: Girls' Swordsmanship Competition

At this moment, Shen Jiarou wished she was a painting genius who could paint everything in front of her.

“If my third sister and the others saw it, they would definitely be shocked.” Young girls all like flowers, not to mention that there is a black and white boy dancing with a sword under the flower tree. It is a visual feast and very pleasing to the eyes.

Mr. Li came over drinking tea, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but admire it.

"This... is too beautiful." When did Brother Bao and Brother Feng go up to dance with swords?

No wonder he didn’t see anyone. It turns out he came here to compete. Isn’t he a good choice of place?

The competition between the two ended in a draw, but Shen Jiarou and others were still not satisfied.

"Is that the end?" Zhen Luosang felt it was a pity, she hadn't seen enough.

Shen Jiarou looked at Sister Shutong beside her and said, "Shall we try it tomorrow?"

Zheng Shutong smiled and said, "Okay."

After watching what just happened, she was still quite interested.

After dinner, everyone went to bed early.

Ruan Qingling and others woke up at one o'clock in the morning, quickly packed themselves up, and went to the main house to see that their princess was sleeping soundly.

Forget it, let’s not disturb the princess for now. She will go find the guards to protect them.

As soon as she walked out, she ran into Yaer.

"Shh, let's go out, the princess is still sleeping." We can't disturb the princess's sweet dream.

Yaer nodded quickly, and the two of them tiptoed out of the main courtyard, Suiyu Pavilion.

Mr. Li woke up in the room where the guards lived. Seeing the unfamiliar environment, he was unable to react for a while.

"This seems to be Nanning County." I have been too free outside these days and I don't know what it feels like to settle down.

Bao Zhiqing, Xu Zhi and Feng Jingyun woke up and started exercising in the martial arts training ground.

"Brother Bao, when did you wake up?" The training had already begun.

So, shouldn't he practice too?

Ruan Qingling and Yaer found the martial arts training ground and saw that the four people were there. They smiled at each other.

"I need help from the four guards."

In the courtyard, several people helped to make swings and sling beds, and they sweated while fiddling with the small items.

It was already 5:45 in the morning when Shen Jiarou woke up. She opened her hazy and confused eyes and looked at the room that seemed familiar yet strange.

At this time, Zhen Luosang opened the door: "Princess, are you awake?"

It’s a good time to wash up.

Element Frost was thinking about what kind of headdress to match for the princess, and Shen Jiarou spoke while looking at herself in the mirror.

"How about keeping it simple today and just tie a blue headband?" It's rare to be dressed neatly, so why not make it so complicated.

Zhen Luosang hesitated, and Elemental Frost pursed her lips and nodded.

"Okay, Princess, let's keep it simple today. Since you want to dance with a sword, it would be more appropriate to wear less headwear." I wonder how the princess will perform when dancing with a sword under the flowers?

Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong brought breakfast and arranged it one by one.

Shen Jiarou drank the sweet sweet potato millet porridge and squinted her eyes slightly.

"good to eat."

Nanny Wang came in and said, "Princess, don't just drink the porridge. These white flour buns and corn buns are your favorites."

Shen Jiarou took the corn bun from Nanny Wang and said, "Thank you, Nanny."

After eating and drinking, it is natural to take a walk to digest the food. Shen Jiarou came to the courtyard in a blue dress, but found that it was different from yesterday.

"Oh, here we have a swing and a hammock." She really likes both of them.

Ruan Qingling brought a basin of water for growing Yin radish (green radish) and placed it in the middle of the stone table.

"Princess, do you want to take a swing?"

Shen Jiarou had gotten down from the hammock, put on her embroidered shoes and walked over.

"This yin radish is really beautiful and green."

She didn't expect that the green radish was called Yin radish in ancient times, and there was also a saying that one green radish has seven ghosts.

What I didn’t expect was that people in ancient times had a deep taboo about green ivy, and even believed that keeping it at home would cause too much yin energy and might attract ghosts.

In the past life, this potted plant was a green plant that was grown in ordinary households. It was also cheap and easy to grow.

Ruan Qingling picked up the teapot and poured a cup of Longjing tea into the beige porcelain cup.

"Princess, have some Longjing tea."

"Okay." Shen Jiarou stroked her blue dress and sat down, quietly sipping her tea.

Thinking of what she said before leaving the palace, that she would send some small items to the Empress Dowager and others, she thought of ink painting.

"Sister Qingling, do you want to try ink painting?" She looked at the stunned girl with her bright eyes.

"Ah, servants? Is this okay?" Although they had learned from the princess, they were afraid that it would be difficult to actually start painting.

Elemental Frost came over and said, "Princess, I can give it a try."

Everyone started working as soon as they said it. The chief steward Yang Liuhe asked his servants to bring writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, while he watched from the side.

On the easel, Elemental Frost sat upright.

Opposite her, Shen Jiarou was quietly drinking tea from a cup. The time was quiet and beautiful.

With her focused efforts, an ink painting of a girl drinking tea was completed.

Zhang Zirou came over and said, "Su Shuang, your painting is pretty good."

Nanny Wang appeared behind the crowd and looked at everyone gathered together, feeling very confused.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Nanny Wang, and bowed respectfully.

"Your servant has greeted Madam."

"I have met Madam."

When Nanny Wang saw the painting, a flash of amazement passed through her eyes.

"This painting is great. Who drew it?" They didn't expect that there was someone among them who was so good at painting.

Elemental Frost said, "Mammy, it's your servant."

"Yeah, not bad. I didn't expect Su Shuang to be a painter."

Elemental Frost blushed when she was praised: "That's great, Ma'am."

Shen Jiarou admired the paintings and praised them with all kinds of nice words.

"Sister Shutong, let's have a sparring match." Although she had only been practicing martial arts for a short time, she could still take on a few moves.

Zheng Shutong cupped her hands: "Yes, Princess."

The two men came under the tree to prepare. Zhen Luosang said a few words to the steward Yang Liuhe, who then gave instructions to the servants behind him.

Soon, several easels appeared in the courtyard.

Nanny Wang looked at this scene, somewhat puzzled.

Zhen Luosang asked her sisters to paint together, and everyone tried it with great interest.

Shen Jiarou's sword-drawing speed increased, and her sword-holding became more stable and flexible.

"Princess, watch this."

Shen Jiarou smiled brightly: "Come over here, let's see how many moves I can take."

The strong never complain, and she wants to be that strong person.

Both of them drew their swords quickly, and Shen Jiarou had already taken over several moves from Zheng Shutong.

The commotion here attracted the attention of the four great guards.

"Hey, the princess and Miss Shutong are competing again." Mr. Li was amazed at what he saw. The princess was really obsessed with swordsmanship.

Bao Zhiqing watched the girl in blue draw her sword so quickly, but Zheng Shutong in green took it perfectly.

Xu Zhi folded his arms and admired it, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Feng Jingyun was still dressed in a graceful white robe, standing next to several people, and was no less impressive than them. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a noble young man.

Zheng Shutong didn't expect that her princess had improved so quickly. She had already defeated her for more than a dozen moves in a row, which shocked her.

The two fought fiercely. Shen Jiarou flew up with a light skill. She touched the peach blossom branch with the sword in her right hand. Petals fell one by one. She landed one meter away.

The petals from the sky suddenly fell all at once, which still affected Zheng Shutong's sword-drawing speed.
