"Oh? Not quite right. Does Your Highness have any suggestions for additions?"
Moving targets are already very difficult, and even the Emperor did not expect that the eldest prince would stand up and speak at this time.
The eldest prince was still angry and dissatisfied with Yi Chenli's earlier rejection.
He's always been petty and narrow-minded, and now he's thinking about taking revenge on Yi Chenli.
He stepped forward, knelt down, and analyzed, "As we all know, before the founding emperor shot an arrow at the enemy leader from a thousand miles away, he relied on his superb horsemanship to cross the sea of people. Today we are only comparing archery skills and not horsemanship skills, so it cannot be considered a true recreation."
As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, people began to murmur among themselves.
"Is the Crown Prince really that confident? If he adds horsemanship to that, it will be too difficult."
"Who knows? Perhaps the eldest prince has such strength."
The Emperor laughed heartily: "Xuan'er, you truly live up to your title as the eldest son. You've thought of things that even your father hasn't considered. I think Xuan'er's suggestion is feasible. Before archery, we will add a horsemanship event, and those who rank first in horsemanship will have the right to shoot first."
Once the decision was made, the other three naturally did not feel that they were inferior to the eldest prince and gladly accepted the challenge.
An Yuan'er frowned. The competition was supposed to be archery, so why add horsemanship to the mix?
This eldest prince is clearly targeting Yi Chenli.
Everyone knows that Yi Chenli's legs are useless and he can't exert any strength at all.
While archery may not be closely related to the legs, horseback riding relies entirely on leg strength.
Yi Chenli was unable to ride a horse. An Yuan'er looked him over and, sure enough, saw a trace of sorrow and dissatisfaction on his face.
As darkness fell, the martial arts competition came to an end, and everyone left the arena.
Lin Moran tugged at An Yuan'er's hand and said, "Yuan'er, let's go back. Everyone's gone."
An Yuan'er didn't hear, her gaze fixed on Yi Chenli.
Everyone else had already packed up their targets and gone home, but he remained where he was, not moving an inch.
He had his back to An Yuan'er, so An Yuan'er could only see his back.
"Mo Ran, you go back first, I have something to do." After saying that, An Yuan'er hurriedly ran towards Yi Chenli.
When An Yuan'er arrived at the venue, she couldn't find Yi Chenli, so she searched the entire training ground.
Until she saw Yi Chenli listening intently to something from behind the tent.
An Yuan'er jogged over and was about to call out to him when she heard a voice coming from inside the tent.
"It's good that His Majesty suddenly added the horseback riding event today, but the Sixth Prince has a leg ailment. He finally won the second chance, so I'm afraid he won't be able to complete the horseback riding event." The speaker was the Empress.
Only after hearing the Empress's words did the Emperor belatedly realize that his disabled son could not ride a horse.
From beginning to end, the Emperor never truly cared about his son Yi Chenli, so when the eldest prince made this suggestion, his first reaction was to agree.
The eldest prince wanted to add a project at the last minute, and the empress was worried that something might happen that would affect Yi Chenqi, so she naturally didn't want that either.
The Empress cautiously inquired, "To be fair, would Your Majesty like to cancel the horseback riding activity?"
The Emperor didn't think for long before replying, "My words are imperial edicts, how can they be changed so easily? The sixth prince cannot ride a horse, so we'll disqualify him from the competition on that day."
