Chapter 167 I beg you to teach me...

This is a bit arrogant.

But when You Rong Jianxue said it, there was nothing wrong with it.

I just feel that this statement is somewhat...meaningful.

Without answering the prince's question, the smile on Shen Qianfan's face froze.

"Master Young Master, if this matter were to be spread among the ministers and women present today, it would probably damage your reputation."

With her chin slightly raised, Rong Jianxue looked straight ahead, and the Buddhist beads on her wrist bones swayed lightly. The gold-plated Sanskrit characters were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.

"No one will spread what happened today."

Rong Jianxue's tone was as calm as water.

The smile on Shen Qianfan's face froze, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Master Shaofu, what does this mean?"

“Bang—”

With the sound of gongs and drums!

Before Pei Jingxu could even react, the red-feathered arrow in his hand shot out instantly, breaking through the wind, and the next second, with a "thump", it firmly hit the red bull's eye!

Pei Jingxu widened his eyes and could even feel the slightly warm bowstring and the rosin powder that had not yet dissipated around him.

The man glanced sideways, his eyes cold and calm: "What I mean is that after today, there will be no more rumors."

That was something he could easily do as a powerful official.

Shen Qianfan lowered his brows, sneered, and with the force of Bai Shutong, he shot the arrow in his hand!

“Bang—”

Hit the bull's eye.

On the other side, Rong Xuanzhou and the female relative were not skilled enough, so their first arrow just missed the target.

Shen Qianfan glanced at the bull's eye, then turned to look at Rong Jianxue beside him again.

The man is tall and slender with a slender figure.

He almost forgot that, apart from being the upright and respectful young tutor, this gentleman was also a close minister of the emperor and the most powerful official in Yunlan.

Even the Prime Minister would show him some courtesy.

For him, it was a simple matter to stop Youyou from speaking out.

Shen Qianfan frowned slightly, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.

Below him, Bai Shutong's face didn't look good either.

Tightening the bow and arrow in his hand, Bai Shutong narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, pulled out another arrow, and put it on the bowstring.

But this time, she aimed at the target in front of Pei Jingxu.

Before Shen Qianfan could react and release the bowstring, the arrow hit Pei Jingxu's target, knocking the arrow that was originally nailed in the bull's eye to the ground!

"Ah!" Bai Shutong exclaimed in surprise when he saw this. "Sorry, Sister Pei, I saw the wrong target. It wasn't intentional."

Pei Jingxu pursed his lips slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

——She didn't intend to win this game. Her only purpose in participating in the competition was to prevent Bai Shutong from winning the game.

Each team received a fixed number of arrows, and each arrow had a mark on it. Bai Shutong used her arrow to invalidate Pei Jingxu's result, and she also lost one arrow.

——This made Pei Jingxu very unhappy.

Now she suddenly wants to win again.

Tightening the bow in his hand, Bai Shutong looked at Pei Jingxu with a hint of undisguised provocation in his eyes.

But before Bai Shutong could smile, the next second——

With a sound of "whoosh"!

The arrow in his hand was shot out again, and the arrow that was shot at the center of Bai Shutong's bull's eye was instantly split by Rong Jianxue's arrow and nailed straight into the center of the bull's eye!

The results of both teams were voided.

Bai Shutong widened his eyes and the smile on his face froze.

"It's okay," Rong Jianxue calmly took out a new arrow, his tone indifferent, "I did it on purpose."

No pretense.

Another arrow was shot and hit the bull's eye again.

Seeing this, Bai Shutong's face darkened and he bent his bow again, wanting to shoot down his arrow.

The man didn't care. He took Pei Jingxu's hand and put the arrow on the bow again.

"Do you want to win?" he asked her again in a low voice, with a somewhat nonchalant tone.

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly and nodded seriously: "I do."

"What should I say?" he asked patiently.

Pei Jingxu lowered his head slightly, and said in a soft and gentle voice: "I beg you to teach me..."

She finally heard Rong Jianxue's muffled smile.

With a sound of "whoosh".

The arrow in Bai Shutong's hand hit Pei Jingxu's target again!

Rong Jianxue took Pei Jingxu's hand and followed closely behind and shot out!

He pulled his bowstring more fully than Bai Shutong, and the arrow split the arrow shot by Bai Shutong and firmly hit the bull's eye again!

All was silent.

Bai Shutong's hand was injured by the bowstring, his finger bones were trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of anger and resentment as he looked at Pei Jingxu!

Pei Jingxu raised his chin slightly and looked down at Bai Shutong condescendingly.

The subsequent results were no longer in suspense.

Even though Bai Shutong tried to shoot down Pei Jingxu's target several times, Rong Jianxue split it in half with his arrow, and finally hit the bull's eye steadily.

Rong Xuanzhou's performance was not very good. The bow and arrow was quite handy for him, but it was too large and heavy for the woman who was with him. After trying a few times, the woman's hand was shaken and hurt, so she gave up.

The final winners naturally fell to Rong Jianxue and Pei Jingxu.

This match was originally intended by Shen Qianfan to highlight Bai Shutong's bravery and uniqueness, but the ultimate goal was not achieved, and Shen Qianfan's face was not looking good.

But he still pulled the corner of his mouth and walked up to the two of them: "Master Shaofu and Madam Pei want something, as long as I have it, I will do my best to make it happen."

Pei Jingxu didn't want anything in the first place. The reason she participated was that she couldn't stand Bai Shutong stealing the show.

So she looked at Rong Jianxue.

Rong Jianxue understood and turned to look at Chen Qianfan, her brows stern. "It's not a wish, but I just want to remind Your Highness that the half-price purchase of all the grain from Pei's grain store that we promised three months ago should be returned five times the price today."

Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

——Oh yes, she almost forgot.

When Shen Qianfan bought her food at half price, he promised her that he would return it at five times the price in three months.

There were quite a few people at the shooting range. When they heard the conversation between the few people, they looked at each other and talked a lot.

Shen Qianfan's face was stern. After a long while, he finally pulled the corner of his mouth: "I promised the Second Lady something, and naturally I will not forget it."

As he spoke, he continued, "This should have been returned to the Second Lady. It can't be considered a wish."

"Since Master Shaofu and Second Lady can't think of it right now, why not keep it here with me for now? If you two do think of it one day, it won't be too late to tell me."

Without saying anything else, Shen Qianfan couldn't hold back his expression, turned around, and left with a wave of his sleeves.

Pei Jingxu then realized that this was what Rong Jianxue meant when she said last night that she would help her "collect debts".

--

As night falls, the three-day autumn hunt is finally coming to an end.

This year's champion was undoubtedly Young Master Rong Jianxue.

Having shot down a black bear and hunted down a white tiger, the emperor was delighted. He pointed at Rong Jianxuelang and said with a smile, "My dear Rong, you are the one who pleases me most!"

That night.

Tonight's banquet was more grand and solemn than the previous few days, because the emperor was also at the banquet. Men and women sat at separate tables, and the etiquette was more thorough.

Pei Jingxu was sitting with a group of female relatives when he heard some of them laughing and talking.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? Miss Shen is leaving the capital!"

"Ah? Miss Shen, which Miss Shen?"

"Who is Miss Shen, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Congyue!"
