"Then I will withdraw first."
As Feng Zhuohua left, Concubine Li's eyes stirred, and she once again recited the name in her heart: "Su Chenyu."
The next day, it was a rare good day with sunny and windy weather.
Before the hunting officially begins, there will be an archery ceremony. In a wide venue, everyone will take their seats and there will be several targets in the middle of the venue.
Feng Xuanqi sat in the first seat and said with a smile: "Today's archery ceremony is to ask everyone to send one person to shoot an arrow and hit the red heart of the target to wish for good luck."
Feng Zhaolin stood up and walked in front of Feng Xuanyi: "Father, I am willing to go."
"Then go ahead. It's a good opportunity for me to see if you have been practicing diligently during this period."
Feng Zhaolin walked to the middle, drew his bow and shot an arrow, which hit the bull's eye. Everyone applauded and cheered.
"Who's next?" Feng Zhaolin looked around and asked.
Seeing that no one came out, the Marquis of Xinyang suggested, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the daughter of the old general, Rong Zhen, is brave and good at fighting. The Princess Fengyi who is here today is Rong Zhen's daughter. I wonder if Princess Fengyi can see the demeanor of Rong Zhen in her?"
Bai Peng wanted everyone to focus their attention on Su Chenyu and force Su Chenyu to come out and shoot the arrow.
Muyuan couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Just as he was about to stand up and say he would go, Su Chenyu stopped him and said, "Since everyone wants to see it so much, Princess Yu will show off her ugliness."
Su Chenyu walked to the center of the venue and took the bow and arrow from Feng Zhaolin.
Just as she was about to shoot the arrow, Bai Peng spoke again: "Princess Fengyi, just talking about archery is a bit boring, how about something more interesting?"
Su Chenyu put down his bow and arrow and asked, "What does the Marquis of Xinyang find interesting?"
"Bring the man up." Following an order from Marquis Xinyang, several soldiers brought an old man with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth blocked to the target and forced him to kneel down, but the old man did not yield and just looked at these people angrily.
"Since he doesn't want to kneel, let him stand under the target." Xinyang Hou said, "Why didn't Miss Lian come up?"
When Lian Shizhao heard the three words "Miss Lian", panic flashed across his face, and the next second, it was Lian Qing who was pushed out.
Unlike the old man's embarrassment, Lian Qing was still dressed like a noble lady. She saw Su Chenyu at a glance, but in this situation, she could only bite the bullet and walk to Xixia's side and stand.
Many of Dayu's envoys knew Lian Qing. Seeing Lian Qing standing on Xixia's side, they were filled with indignation. They all pointed their spearheads at Lian Shizhao: "Lord Lian, what happened to your sister?"
Lian Shizhao was unable to answer, he did not expect Lian Qing to appear here in such a dignified manner.
"I've heard before that Lian Qing was a traitor to the country, but our emperor trusted the Lian family and scolded the princess instead. This time, Lian Shizhao was sent as an envoy to Xixia. Will he do something that would harm Dayu? Can we still trust the Lian family?"
These words were like a sword that pierced Lian Shizhao's heart. He lowered his head, not daring to look at the people around him.
Su Chenyu was not affected by Lian Qing's appearance. She looked at Xinyang Hou and said, "Xinyang Hou, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you want to see Princess Fengyi's skill of shooting an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away? This old man is standing under the target, with his head right at the center of the target. In fact, it doesn't matter if the arrow misses, after all, he is a sinner!"
There was malice in the words of the Marquis of Xinyang. Su Chenyu looked at the old man. The old man seemed to recognize her. Tears welled up in his eyes, and even his struggling movements stopped.
Although she had never seen Jian Yuan, Su Chenyu was very sure that the old man in front of her was Jian Yuan!
