At this time, Li Yunzhou had his back to the crowd and was kissing a girl. Because he was blocking the view, the crowd could not see the girl's face clearly, but only the lace of her Xifanhua silk skirt.
If they could see Li Yunzhou's expression, they would find that Li Yunzhou's expression was the same as theirs, with his eyes wide open and a look of shock on his face.
He had just agreed with Shen Yue that he would act according to circumstances.
He did not allow himself to be plotted against, but was 80% sure that he could solve the problem of the bow and arrow.
In recent years, he has devoted a lot of time to studying the structure of weapons. He can even draw the drawings of the improved bows and arrows in the Ministry of War with his eyes closed.
But Shen Yue was obviously worried. Before the prince came in, Shen Yue only said to cooperate with her, then grabbed his collar and kissed him.
At this time, Shen Yue grabbed his collar with both hands and pressed her red lips against his.
Li Yunzhou supported himself against the wall with one hand and held Shen Yue's waist with the other.
Anyone who saw it could see that Young Master Li Si was having a secret meeting with someone and had forgotten the time.
Although Li Chaoyun didn't see who was inside, he recognized the well-made skirt.
"Shen Yue?"
Li Chaoyun's exclamation made Shen Yue and Li Yunzhou turn around at the same time.
The prince frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Li Yunzhou said, "We..."
He was wondering how he could protect Shen Yue's reputation and good name.
However, Shen Yue said aggrievedly: "Brother Yunzhou, it's already this time, are you still hesitating and hiding it?"
"Why am I so unworthy of you that you are ashamed to talk about our relationship."
Li Yunzhou said subconsciously: "That's not what I meant."
How could Shen Yue not be worthy of him? It was obviously he who was not worthy of Shen Yue.
At this moment, Shen Yue's eyes were red and she bit her lower lip in grievance.
Eyes like water waves were staring at Li Yunzhou intently, "Now that our affair has been discovered, shouldn't Brother Yunzhou come to my house and give me an explanation?"
"Otherwise...I...how am I going to face people in the future?"
Li Yunzhou knew that Shen Yue was just putting on an act, but he still felt so bad for her. This silly girl had sacrificed her own reputation to help him get out of this situation.
Song Wanwan also understood what Shen Yue meant and gently touched Song Hongshen.
Song Hongshen understood and coughed lightly, "Miss San, you should wait a moment. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting to compete with Yunzhou."
The only one who could let Li Yunzhou go today was the Crown Prince. And the only one who could take Li Yunzhou away in front of the Crown Prince was Shen Yue.
Sure enough, after hearing him say this, Shen Yue looked at the prince.
"Your Highness, do you really have to compete with him now?"
Shen Yue said this almost in tears, and the prince had an illusion that if he did not agree, he would be forcing Shen Yue to die.
Although he agreed to help Li Chaoyun, he definitely didn't want to cause any trouble because of this matter. If something really happened to the young lady of the Shen family, Shen Zhixiu would never let it go.
The prince could only wave his hand and said, "Go back and discuss your matters first. We can talk about the competition later."
Li Chaoyun was naturally unwilling to accept this, and whispered, "Cousin, it won't take a moment."
Things are about to be done, how can we let them leave now?
The prince gave Li Chaoyun a warning look, signaling her not to say anything more.
He didn't want to break up with the Shen family, so he naturally had to consider Shen Yue's safety. This girl was obviously devoted to Li Yunzhou, and if she took a desperate step for love, his relationship with Shen Zhixiu would immediately become strained.
Shen Yue bowed to the Crown Prince and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. We will take our leave now."
Just like that, Chen Yue and Li Yunzhou walked past the crowd, left the archery field, and headed towards the gate.
No matter how unwilling Li Chaoyun was, he couldn't say anything and could only watch the two of them leave.
After the two left, Song Hongshen looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, let's have a competition."
Song Hongshen's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to compete, he would definitely accompany him today.
At this time, the prince did not realize what was going to happen. He thought it was just a formal competition like usual, and in the end he came out on top.
But today Song Hongshen was obviously angry, not as patient and low-key as usual.
Everyone returned to the shooting range again, and the people below prepared the bows, arrows and targets.
Song Hongshen looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, let's shoot arrows simultaneously and see who can hit the bull's eye. You can shoot multiple arrows at the same time to disrupt the opponent."
The prince nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
As for the last sentence Song Hongshen said, the prince didn't take it to heart at all.
There were indeed people in the Shenji Camp who could shoot multiple arrows simultaneously, in different directions. But among the young masters in the capital, he had never seen anyone with such a skill. At most, they could shoot two arrows at the same time and hit the bull's eye.
The prince and Song Hongshen stood in the middle of the shooting range, both holding bows with arrows on the strings.
Song Hongshen took two arrows, and the prince also took two.
Both men were aiming at the bull's eye, but Song Hongshen didn't rush to shoot. Only after the prince's arrow was shot did Song Hongshen shoot his two arrows immediately after.
Everyone was surprised to find that one of Song Hongshen's two arrows went towards the prince, while the other went straight to the bull's eye.
The prince was also confused. When did Song Hongshen become so good at archery?
Before the prince could come to his senses, his two arrows were knocked to the ground by Song Hongshen's arrows. Song Hongshen's remaining arrow pierced the bull's eye steadily.
Standing between the two targets was Eunuch Zhang, the supervisor of the riding and archery range of the other courtyard.
Zhang Gong's eyes were vacant and sweat was dripping from his forehead. This wasn't the Crown Prince's first time competing in archery, but it was the first time he lost.
