Ruolan didn't dare to fight Lin Moran, so she could only vent her frustration verbally at times like this.
Whether the Sixth Prince hits the target or not is none of my business. But it's a different story for some people. She's been the Sixth Prince's study companion since childhood; their fates are intertwined. If the Sixth Prince really misses the target, don't blame others for laughing at her.
"Some people are just blind. They ignored the excellent Fifth Prince and chose the disabled Sixth Prince instead. What did she want? Was it the Sixth Prince's face?"
"The Sixth Prince is indeed handsome, but he's crippled after all. What use is he?"
Ruolan made veiled accusations against An Yuan'er, and her words were extremely harsh.
Lin Moran couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw a stone, which hit Ruolan squarely and helplessly on the head.
Ruolan didn't dodge, and cried out, clutching her head, "It hurts!"
"Xu Ruolan, don't use your dirty and power-driven ideas to speculate about Xiao Yuan'er. She can choose whoever she wants, it's none of your business."
Xu Ruolan was unwilling, but fearful of Lin Moran's violence, so she could only glare at her angrily and shut her mouth.
An Piao'er suddenly blurted out, "Ruo Lan, why are you arguing with a cripple? After all, the Sixth Prince has difficulty walking, so it's normal for him to miss the target. What's the big deal?"
An Yuan'er could ignore what Ruolan said about her, but she couldn't stand An Piao'er talking about Yi Chenli's faults as if it were perfectly normal.
"Who said Yi Chenli would miss the target? His archery skills are among the best."
Although An Yuan'er hadn't seen Yi Chenli shoot arrows properly, she remembered what he said before he left: he would get first place for her.
An Yuan'er trusts Yi Chenli unconditionally; he is definitely not the kind of person who is blindly confident and makes boastful statements.
"One or two?"
Many of the women present cast skeptical glances at her, thinking that An Yuan'er was lying. Deep down, they did not think highly of Yi Chenli.
Ruolan sneered, "The competition is about to begin, An Yuan'er. Don't blame me for being blunt, but don't get your face slapped too hard later!"
An Yuan'er ignored Ruolan and started watching the game.
The first group's match has begun.
The men stood in a neat row and first aimed at the target 10 meters away.
"Fire!" At the command, dozens of arrows were launched simultaneously.
Meanwhile, guards were counting in the distance.
“Target position 3 missed the target, and target position 6 missed the target, thus eliminating the target.”
Ten meters is the minimum distance required, so not many people are eliminated.
Increase sequentially upwards...
By the time they reached the final targets at 90 meters and 100 meters, the first group had very few members left.
Only the last four people persevered to the end, two of whom were the eldest prince and the fifth prince.
One minister cleverly remarked, "The eldest prince and the sixth prince are both young and skilled in archery. They are indeed worthy of being the emperor's sons, a blessing to our Tiansheng."
The Emperor was very pleased with the performance of the two princes, and smiled from ear to ear: "I am so pleased!"
The first group match reached its most intense moment.
The eunuch's shrill voice announced, "The 100-meter archery competition has begun. Targets 1, 5, and 10, please fire your arrows."
Before firing the arrow, Yi Chenqi looked towards the stands from the direction of the training ground, searching for the figure on the platform.
The ladies in the stands immediately cheered: "Wow! It's the Fifth Prince! He's looking over here! He must be looking at me!"
"Don't flatter yourself, the Fifth Prince is clearly looking at me."
