Chapter 226: Can't I practice secretly?
"No, no, no, of course I remember, I remember. It was dark that night, I really didn't see clearly, but I just remembered."
Seeing him turn to leave, the commander quickly grabbed him and whispered, "I just don't know why..."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to the princess."
Xiao Quanzi patted his chest and gave a guarantee, then walked to Yuan Siyin's side and whispered, "This servant didn't play cards with him, it was just a joke, please don't take it seriously."
They looked quite serious, as if they were really speaking up for someone.
Yuan Siyin wanted to laugh at his superb acting skills, but painfully, she had to hold it in.
He had to maintain his imposing aura without being angry, or he would give himself away.
After Xiao Quanzi finished speaking and stepped back, Yuan Siyin nodded happily: "It's not impossible. Go and get a bow and arrow. I'm too lazy to move around, so I'll trouble you, Commander, to stand at the door and hold up the target."
She slowly got up, looked around, and finally fixed her satisfied gaze on the small, delicate red cherries in the fruit plate.
"As for the target, this is it."
She picked up a cherry and handed it to Ziyuan: "Go and take this to the Commander."
Zi Yuan nodded, took the thumb-sized cherry and walked up to him in a few steps, placing it solemnly in his palm: "Take care, my lord."
Commander: ?
If you want to kill me, just say so. Don't try to pull all these fancy tricks.
He held the cherry, his face instantly contorting in pain: "Could we use a different target? Even a walnut would be fine."
Yuan Siyin smiled and said, "I originally planned to have the commander carry it on his head, or I would just hold it like this. Once Xiao Quanzi brings the bow, I would like to try out this target myself."
"I suddenly felt that this target was excellent."
After saying that, he quickly put the cherry on his hat.
See? If you don't push your limits, you'll never know where your bottom line is.
Yuan Siyin clicked her tongue twice inwardly, then realized that Yu Shiyan had been staring at her with gentle eyes since earlier, so she had no choice but to awkwardly pull her legs back and sit up straight.
Yu Shiyan chuckled lightly: "It's alright, I know what the princess is like."
Yuan Siyin snorted angrily, raising her chin slightly as if in provocation: So what? That's how I am!
As the two locked in a tense standoff, Xiao Quanzi returned with the bow. Yu Shiyan stood up, took the bow and arrow, and smiled slightly at the commander: "I have never been good at riding and archery since I was a child. I hope you will forgive me, Commander."
The commander couldn't help but shudder.
Oh no, how could he forget that this Prince Mu used to be a sickly, whiny fellow who had never even entered the hunting grounds once during the Autumn Hunt?
Is this meant to make him a laughingstock? It's clearly a death sentence!
How could I have been so bewitched as to let Xiao Quanzi lift the bow?
The commander was filled with regret and could only try to salvage the situation with reluctance: "Could we find someone else to hold the target?"
Yuan Siyin said thoughtfully, "Didn't the Commander want to see things more clearly?"
“I can see clearly even if I stand to the side.”
"Alright, shoot two arrows. You hold one up, and stand by and watch the second one. Don't say that I, the princess, am uncooperative or inflexible. I've already made you look at the problem from two angles."
Is this a question from multiple perspectives?!
With the arrow already on the bowstring, the commander's legs trembled slightly. Never before had he so strongly hoped that Mu Wang, the epitome of a good-for-nothing, would show some backbone.
It's one thing to be useless in front of others, but can't you at least practice in private?
But Yu Shiyan, after drawing his bow and aiming for a long time, finally muttered, "Commander, stop shaking. I've never been good at hitting the bullseye."
