After Su Juan said this, Song Qianfan's face became even uglier.
If her arrow had been a little off, the thing lying there would not have been a rabbit.
Anyone with a good brain could see that when Su Juan shot this arrow, she was warning Song Qianfan to restrain himself.
Su Juan narrowed her eyes, [Look at how scared Song Qianfan is. I'm not stupid enough to shoot the prince of the dynasty so blatantly during the spring hunt.]
She put away her bow and arrow, looked at Song Qianfan, and suddenly realized that this man was actually nothing special. Apart from using some despicable means, there was nothing to be afraid of when he had no power.
But Song Qianfan said to her with a cold face, "Su Juan, do you dare to compete with me?"
Su Juan blinked, as if she didn't hear what he said clearly, "I wonder what the prince wants to compete with me on?"
At this time, the people in the distance had already approached this side. They faintly heard the voices of the two people and stopped. The man and woman were alone in the deep forest, and their gossipy hearts were burning.
Song Qianfan said coldly, "Let's compete in horseback archery."
Now Su Juan understood that it was the arrow she had just shot that had destroyed the other person's self-esteem, and now he was trying to save his dignity.
Su Juan looked innocent, "My Lord, you are embarrassing me, aren't you?"
Before Song Qianfan could speak, Su Juan opened her mouth and continued, "Your riding and archery skills are second to none in Dajin. How can I be qualified to compete with you? How can I dare to compete with you?"
Song Qianfan's expression looked a little better, but he subconsciously felt that this was not something Su Juan would say.
The people hiding in the dark were also surprised. How could this official ever speak so nicely?
The next second, Su Juan's inner voice rang out, [It's so funny, I almost fell off the horse yesterday, who doesn't know how bad my riding skills are? ]
Everyone: Yuanwailang’s riding skills are really bad.
I can still vividly remember how miserable I was at the racecourse yesterday.
[Song Qianfan even came to challenge me to a horseback archery competition. How afraid is he of losing? ]
Song Qianfan's eyes were unhappy. "If you are worried that your riding skills are not good enough, then you don't have to compete in riding skills."
Su Juan laughed, "Your Highness has embarrassed me again. This is also my first time using a bow and arrow. I really don't dare to compare myself with you."
She stared at Song Qianfan for several times, but really couldn't understand.
[How dare he challenge a girl to a duel? Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by the world if he loses? ]
Su Juan smiled and said, "If the prince has nothing else to do recently, please give me the divorce letter. It's not good for me to write it myself, it will hurt the prince's face."
Song Qianfan sneered, "Su Juan, for this prince, there is only the loss of a wife, not a divorce."
Want to divorce? Dream on.
Su Juan smiled. This was not the first time she had heard such words. "Master, let's part ways in peace. This is the most decent way."
As she said this, she pulled the reins, turned the horse around, and left. Thinking of Song Qianfan behind her, she shook her head repeatedly, "Song Qianfan has lost face so many times, why can't he remember his lesson?"
Song Qianfan's face looked grim, and all he could hear were the words that Su Juan had just said.
If I were you, and I wanted to kill someone, I would definitely be steady, accurate and ruthless, and would not give the other person any chance to breathe.
To kill someone, just shoot an arrow. It’s simple and easy.
He slowly picked up the longbow from the horse's back, put an arrow on it, drew the bow, and aimed at Su Juan who was swaying in front of him, with a murderous chill in his eyes.
Just killing people
The moment the arrow was shot out, it was knocked down by arrows flying from two directions. There was a hidden weapon lying on the ground. Song Qianfan looked around suddenly, staring at the two directions from which the arrows came, but no one appeared.
The sound of horse hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer, someone was coming.
He had no choice but to put away his bow and arrow, lowered his eyes to look at the two arrows stuck in the ground, the symbols engraved on the arrows, his face gloomy, this woman was really becoming more and more difficult to kill.
Su Juan could hear the noise behind her, but she didn't even turn her head. She guessed that it was the same person who helped her last time who was protecting her in secret.
After leaving the forest, Xie Xun shook off the leaves on his body and looked at Duke Ping. "Old man, next time, can you please not make Su Juan wear the same clothes as me?"
Su Juan is wearing it and is almost stealing my limelight today.
Duke Ping glanced at him and said, "Your outfit is made from the leftover material from Su Juan's outfit."
What you mean is that it's good enough that you have something to wear. Why are you so picky and still complaining about it?
Xie Xun's forehead twitched, no wonder!
He thought the old man had changed his temper and actually prepared clothes for him. This was the first time. He checked carefully for a long time but didn't find any problems. It turned out that they were the leftovers of Su Juan. Now it made sense!
Duke Ping looked at his son who had always been a playboy in front of him, and said earnestly, "Su Juan is not easy. You are much older than her, so you should take care of her more on weekdays."
Xie Xun snorted, "Old man, you are biased. Although Su Juan is a cute girl, I am your biological son."
"You better think about it. That girl has offended too many people. If we get involved with her, our Duke's Mansion will be in trouble."
As Xie Xun spoke, he looked at his father, who usually knew how to weigh the pros and cons when dealing with the Xie family's problems, and wondered if he had lost his judgment this time around Su Juan.
Before coming to Tianyun Mountain, he even had someone renovate a courtyard in the Duke's Mansion, and bought a dressing table and various household items for his daughter, which were obviously for Su Juan.
Although he really liked being with Su Juan, he still had to remind the old man.
Duke Ping was silent for a while, looked around, and whispered, "Don't you find that she looks about 60% similar to your little aunt in the palace?"
Xie Xun was slightly startled. He laughed dryly twice, "Old man, stop joking. The little princess was lost decades ago. How old is Su Juan?"
"There are many people who look like this guy."
Doesn’t the concubine Su, who was favored in the palace before, look a bit like my sister-in-law?
How could Su Juan be my aunt's daughter?
Duke Ping said, "I have checked Su Juan's deceased mother. She grew up with hunters in the mountains. She escaped on the way to be sold to a wealthy family. She has been begging for a living ever since. She has no father or mother and looks exactly like your aunt."
Xie Xun was speechless at this moment, looking at Duke Ping in disbelief. So, Su Juan was his aunt's granddaughter?
The sister-in-law and the emperor's! ?
Xie Xun was shocked, "Then her marriage is too ridiculous!"
And Song Qianhang, his eyes are almost fixed on Su Juan!
Oh my god, this is too outrageous. It's just that the two of them look down on each other. It's even more outrageous than what is in the storybook.
They need to get divorced quickly!
Duke Ping said in a deep voice, "I will handle this matter with discretion. Don't publicize her identity. If the divorce is not finalized in a few days, I will go to the palace and report the truth. Your Majesty will make the decision."
Xie Xun: "I know the pros and cons of this, and I won't tell anyone."
The political situation is in chaos now, Prince Heng has been defeated, Prince Han is in the upper hand, but Prince Jing is your Majesty's brother from the same mother, so he is obviously more favored. There is also Song Qianfan who is eyeing him covetously. It would be fine if Su Juan was a man, but she is a girl, so it is not that easy.
If his background were discovered at this time and he were forced to get involved in party disputes, he would probably bring about even greater disaster.
Although he knew it clearly in his heart, he still couldn't calm down. He even felt like he was dreaming. How could Su Juan become a royal bloodline?
He shook his head repeatedly. It was terrible, too terrible. (End of this chapter)
