"Maybe it's because Lord Zhang brought the prince here, so he's not wary of me, and that's why I can help the princess."
"Don't be so modest, Su Huai. This is all thanks to you."
Gu Qingsheng sighed, patted Su Huai's shoulder, and looked at the sky outside. The sun was about to set behind the branches.
She had no business going out this time, so she just wanted to let everyone know she was safe. Now that Prince Duan had gone back, it was time for her to go home.
"It's getting late. I'll go back first."
In fact, a girl who has been away from home for such a long time should have had a lot of trouble and her reputation should have been ruined.
But unfortunately, she was sent here by Gu Fengnan and Xu Qingyi together.
If it were any other man, the rumors would have spread like wildfire, but if it was Xu Qingyi, everyone automatically ignored them.
After returning to the mansion, Prince Duan and Lin were already waiting. After seeing Gu Qingsheng, Lin was even more anxious than Prince Duan.
"Qingsheng, you are finally back. You don't know how worried your mother is about you."
Gu Fengnan, who was standing by, saw Lin holding Gu Qingsheng's hand and his brows were slightly displeased, but he didn't show it and just turned his head away.
Pulling his hand out, Gu Qingsheng smiled wryly
"Look at you, how come you've gained some weight? You've seemed to be getting fatter these past two days since I was away."
Lin was embarrassed for a moment. It was true that she had gained some weight during the time when Gu Qingsheng was away.
"What you said is true. Mom just can't eat or sleep because she is worried about you day and night. It's not what you think."
In order to prevent Gu Qingsheng from saying anything else, Lin pulled her in front of Prince Duan.
"The prince has been the one who's been worrying the most these days. He's been wondering where you've been all day. His hair has turned a lot whiter."
"That's right."
Luoshui took over the conversation.
After the hairpin incident, Xun Huan had been sent away by Lin, leaving Luo Shui alone to take care of her. Over the past month, Luo Shui had become more adept at doing things, and the fear she had at the beginning had completely faded.
"The princess and the prince are very worried about the princess. She hasn't been sleeping well all day. The princess hasn't slept well in the past two days, and her body is a little swollen. That's why the princess has this idea. Don't misunderstand."
The reason she found was very appropriate. If she continued to dwell on this matter, it would be Gu Qingsheng who was petty.
"That's right."
Then he sat next to Prince Duan and ignored Lin.
Regarding Gu Qingsheng, Prince Duan only sighed and said
"I'm glad you're back."
He never said too much, but from this one sentence, Gu Qingsheng could sense Prince Duan's worry.
"It's okay, Daddy. I'm back safely, right?"
"By the way, Dad, how's my brother preparing for the martial arts test in a few days? I heard that Prince Leiman will also participate. Will he be shooting, using a gun, or using a knife?"
The martial arts test is divided into three parts: shooting, spear, and sword.
Everyone can choose the area they are good at to compete, and everyone from an unknown person to a general's deputy can participate.
If you win the first place in the martial arts test, you will gain the emperor's favor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a candidate for the next generation of military generals.
Chu Zhiyao climbed to the position of general at a young age because he won the first place in shooting, spear and sword, and chopped off the head of the enemy general on the battlefield. He was promoted directly from the commander of a small team to the general and held a high position with unlimited glory.
Therefore, this martial arts test should have made him very anxious as he was demoted to deputy general.
Prince Duan touched Gu Qingsheng's head
"Your brother hasn't decided yet, but he's always been good with a spear, so he should be just as good this time."
"What do you think, Fengnan?"
Prince Duan asked Gu Fengnan for his opinion, and Gu Fengnan nodded.
"Father is right. I was planning to use a spear as well. Now that I've fought the Xiongnu on the battlefield, I've gained some military merits. If I could win the martial arts test, that would be even better."
This time he returned with military merit, but the emperor was reluctant to mention any rewards.
Judging from the relationship between the Emperor and Prince Duan, he probably has a backup plan and wants to find the results in this martial arts test and make a big move.
This is all known to everyone, but I'm afraid...
She raised her eyes and looked at the silent Lin, feeling a chill in her heart.
Gu Fengnan is not the same as before. She left before Lin was promoted to a co-wife, so now that she is back, it is the first time that Lin, as the princess, meets Gu Fengnan.
"Long spears are good. I heard from the people that my brother is very good at using a red cherry long spear. However, I still suggest that my brother take the shooting test."
"shooting?"
Gu Fengnan frowned. He was quite accomplished in shooting, but it was still inferior to the spear.
"I……"
"Brother, listen to me."
"Recently, the military training in the capital has been focused on spears, and there are very few outstanding archers. You've always been good at archery, but you've had no place to show it."
"If we use guns, we might be able to win, but there are so many talented people in the capital, and you haven't been back for many years. You can't guarantee that something might go wrong."
"On the contrary, what the Emperor needs is talent in shooting. My brother isn't particularly good at killing enemies with a spear, but if he's good at shooting..."
After hearing these words, Prince Duan's eyes lit up, and even Gu Fengnan was a little dazed.
"Yeah, that's right!"
Prince Duan burst into laughter
"Kiyomori is the one who has the most insightful ideas on this! Good shooting, good shooting!"
"Fengnan, listen to your sister and sign up for the shooting."
Gu Fengnan also nodded without making any objection, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Qingsheng, for which he received a slightly mischievous wink from the other party.
After returning to the room, Bai Lu was a little puzzled.
"Princess, why do you insist on letting the prince shoot... In my opinion, shooting is not unique..."
Gu Qingsheng nodded with relief
"That's right, Bailu."
"Go to my brother right now and ask him to switch his gun back to a spear."
"What was said in the hall was just a cover-up. Lin must have made up his mind."
There are many people with long guns and there are also many experts. Because of this, the more you come out on top, the better you are. A shooter with no standard will not make any splash even if he wins the championship.
Isn't this Lin family Chu Zhiyao's? Since Chu Zhiyao wants to have a competition with Gu Fengnan so much, I just won't fulfill your wish.
The shooting event is interesting. As long as Lin spreads the news, Chu Zhiyao will sign up for shooting, and Gu Fengnan will change to a spear. In this way, a major threat on the road to the martial arts test will be eliminated.
Besides, the most interesting one is Lehman.
I heard that shooting was also part of this martial arts test.
Leiman and Chu Zhiyao, who will be the final winner?
