When it comes to riding and archery, Xie Xun and Qi You are not inferior to the eldest prince of the Southern Kingdom. Although they drink and have fun on weekdays, they also practice archery. After several competitions, even the Southern Kingdom delegation has a higher opinion of these two young men.
Anyone who can match their eldest prince's strength should not be underestimated.
Qi You competed in ten matches and didn't win, but he didn't lose either.
He looked towards Su Juan, and saw Princess Ronghua riding on a tall horse, with her slender neck raised, her skin fair, her eyes contemptuous, she drove the horse at a gallop, took out a longbow from behind with one hand, and the arrow flew from the bow in her hand and shot steadily towards the center of the bull.
Qi You's eyes lit up. The beauty was very good at archery!
Princess Ronghua drove her horse back to its original position and looked at Su Juan with a proud expression, "What do you think? Do you want to compete again?"
It's not that she looked down on Su Juan, but she heard that women in the Great Jin Dynasty nowadays regard weakness as beauty. It is said that they enjoy playing the piano, chess, poetry and painting on weekdays, and embroider in their spare time. Unlike the women in the southern country, they have to struggle from childhood to adulthood, and bows and arrows are just children's skills.
The one in front of me looks very weak.
Su Juan smiled, "Compare."
Qi You held his brow and glanced at Su Juan, but he really didn't dare to look at her. The people around him were so nervous that their palms were sweating.
The people in the Honglu Temple had thought it through. If Su Juan got involved in this matter, they would push her out when the old emperor questioned her. Anyway, since His Majesty doted on her so much, they would not make things difficult for her.
At this time, Su Juan was already riding the white horse, galloping along the path that Princess Ronghua had just taken. When she was almost at the destination, she suddenly took out a longbow, loosened the reins with her other hand, patted the horse's back, flew up from the horse's back, and quickly pulled out three arrows from the quiver and put them on the string.
Everyone gasped, what is she going to do! ?
Shooting three arrows at the same time, is she crazy?
This movement attracted the attention of many people, even the eldest prince of the Southern Kingdom stopped and looked over here.
Su Juan was seen standing steadily on the horse's back, facing the scorching sun, drawing the bow and arrow. In an instant, three sharp arrows were fired at the same time, the arrows cut through the sky and shot steadily towards the three targets in the distance, hitting the bull's eye at the same time!
The Princess of the Southern Kingdom widened her eyes. What, what, what?
In an instant, exclamations rang out in the arena. If they had such ability and taken action earlier, why would they be afraid of the Southern Kingdom delegation!
Everyone in the Honglu Temple was about to cry. Looking at Su Juan at this moment was like looking at their own grown-up daughter, who had become successful.
Qi You was dumbfounded. Who could tell him what had just happened? Was it an illusion?
At this time, Su Juan had already sat back on the horse, pulled the reins, ran the remaining half of the circle, returned to the starting point, raised her red lips and looked at Princess Ronghua, "How about it, young lady, do you want to compete again?"
"."Princess Ronghua's smile froze on her face. What the hell!
That's it, what else is there to compare.
Qi You felt that he had lost all face and didn't even dare to look at Su Juan. If he had known that she had such ability and skills, he would have said he would never use his ultimate move.
I used to think I was handsome and cool, but now I think that in the eyes of others, I am just a juggling monkey.
It’s a pity that I’m still feeling so proud of myself.
There was a strange look in the eyes of the Southern Kingdom's eldest prince, and the arrow in his hand flew out of the string and missed the bull's eye.
The onlookers immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If they lost again on the territory of their Great Jin, they would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
Xie Xun then looked at Su Juan. Everyone said that he, Xie Xun, was ostentatious, but to be honest, Su Juan was not much better.
As expected, he is from the Xie family. This is the blood running in his bones. How could he lose to the southerners?
At this moment, when Xie Xun looked at Su Juan, he truly felt "my daughter has grown up".
Looking at Qi You's reaction again, the appearance of Su Juan's three arrows meant that the first half of his life had been in vain.
The Southern Kingdom's eldest prince put away his longbow and walked towards Su Juan, his eyes full of interest, "Who are you?"
Before Su Juan could speak, the Honglusi official beside her introduced himself for her, "This is an official from the Ministry of Revenue of Dajin. His surname is Su."
There was pride in his words, as if the person was from their Honglu Temple.
The Southern Kingdom's eldest prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Great Jin's female official? I've seen you for a long time. What's your name?"
Su Juan replied in a deep voice, "I am Su Juan."
"Su Juan. Su Juan." The Southern Kingdom's eldest prince repeated it twice, "What a good name."
"I am Chu Guang, the eldest prince of the Southern Kingdom. Remember this."
Su Juan: “?”
There were a few words clearly written on Su Juan's face: I didn't ask you.
Xie Xun frowned. As they were all men, they could more or less see each other's thoughts. It was obvious that he had feelings for Su Juan.
Chu Guang smiled and looked at Princess Ronghua, "Ronghua, let's go."
When Princess Ronghua left, she made a face at Su Juan and said, "Let's compete in something else some other day instead of archery."
Su Juan smiled, "The princess has come from afar, and as a guest, I will listen to her."
She was just being polite, but Princess Ronghua found it very useful.
After thanking Su Juan and others, the officials from the Honglu Temple hurriedly caught up with the Southern Kingdom delegation.
Qi You was leading the white horse, ready to run away, but was stopped by Xie Xun, "Brother Qi, where are you going? Aren't you going to teach Su Juan how to ride a horse and shoot arrows?"
Qi You: “.”
He turned around, laughed dryly, and shot a look at Xie Xun like a knife. He was really talking about something irrelevant. "Hahaha."
Xie Xun smiled maliciously, "You don't want to teach me anymore?"
Qi You waved his hands repeatedly, "I won't teach you anymore."
Who dares to show off his sword in front of Guan Gong?
Isn't this asking for death?
Qi You ran away with his white horse, feeling extremely embarrassed today and too ashamed to face anyone.
Xie Xun laughed, "Let me tell you, this guy usually flirts with young girls quite often, relying on those few tricks he just used, and he never fails. This time he ran into you, and he really fell flat on his face."
Su Juan looked at Xie Xun, not understanding why he was laughing so loudly.
[Aren't you two the same? ]
Xie Xun: “???” Who is the same as him!
Su Juan yawned, "I didn't tell you anything, you can have fun by yourself, I'm going back first."
[The old emperor has been in high spirits in recent months.]
[I finally had a day off, but I didn't sleep so early in the morning and came to the racecourse to compete with others. I'm really bored. ]
Su Juan shook her head repeatedly, it was boring.
After the old emperor learned about what happened today, he laughed loudly, "Great, great, this girl really brought honor to our Great Jin!"
The Southern Kingdom has been arrogant for a long time, relying on its strong military force to look down on other countries and cause a lot of trouble.
Today was a real slap in the face for them.
The Minister of the Honglu Temple smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think it would be better to let Su Yuanwailang accompany us to be responsible for this reception, so that the envoys from other countries can see the majesty of our Great Jin."
When Minister Mo of the Ministry of Revenue heard this, he immediately became anxious. Isn't this just robbing people openly?
"Your Majesty, Su Juan is from the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue has a lot of official business on weekdays."
The old emperor raised his hand to interrupt him, "Let Su Juan go and gain some experience."
He looked at the Minister of Revenue, "The Ministry of Revenue has many talented people, could it be that they still cannot do without Su Juan?"
Minister Mo wanted to curse. There were quite a few people there. Didn’t many of them go to Xuzhou to provide disaster relief? !
The Minister of the Honglu Temple smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Minister Mo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Zhuang Peiwen! I'm not done with you!"
I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that my kids voted for me a lot. I was so happy. (Crazy hint)
