Princess Saihan didn't react until the horse stopped, and she lost the first race.
"Can you ride a horse?"
She rode her horse to Chen Li's side and asked in disbelief.
Chen Li nodded slightly, "I understand a little."
Princess Saihan believed it and said, "It seems that Prince Jingnan has taught you a lot. I will not hold back in the next match."
If she loses the next game, she will look very unhappy.
Not to mention that it was she who proposed this competition and forced others to agree.
Princess Saihan suddenly became serious and drove her horse back.
Xie Yunche followed someone into the woods to hunt. When he came back, he heard that there was a gambling game here, so he came to see it with great interest. However, when he saw the people on the field, he instantly lost interest.
Is there any need to see this? There is no doubt that the winner must be Miss Shen!
He saw He Xinyi sitting in the stand closest to her and walked over.
"Meet the King of Yan."
"No need to be so polite."
He stepped forward and helped He Xinyi up. As for the nobles behind him,
Women, they will get up on their own.
"Are you also participating in the following gambling game?"
He Xinyi sat down with a smile on her face. She nodded and said, "The Imperial Concubine suggested the gambling game, so we participated in it."
He suddenly became interested and asked, "Who did you bet on to win?"
"Princess Saihan."
After He Xinyi finished speaking, she saw a complicated expression on Prince Yan's face.
"What's wrong, Your Highness? Is there something wrong?"
She originally wanted to bet on Princess Hui'an to win, but they all understood what her father-in-law meant, which was to bet on Princess Saihan to win.
Who is Eunuch Qu?
He is the number one person around the emperor, so why wouldn't they listen to him?
"There's nothing wrong with that. You can't win this bet."
He Xinyi nodded. She didn't take this bet seriously. It was just that it was organized by the imperial concubine, and they wanted to support it.
She never thought that the Princess of Hui'an would be a simple character from the beginning.
What kind of person is Prince Jingnan?
With his vision and knowledge, would he be interested in an ordinary peasant girl?
If a peasant girl could catch his eye, it would only prove one thing: this peasant girl was no ordinary person.
Chen Li and Princess Saihan drove their horses back to the young eunuch, who asked with a smile on his face.
"Will the county lady and the princess compete in archery or martial arts first?"
Princess Saihan: "Forget about the martial arts competition. Princess Hui'an doesn't look like someone who knows martial arts."
Chen Li shook her head slightly, "Princess Saihan, you have come from afar. I despise you, so how can I not accompany you? Let's compete in archery first, and then in martial arts."
"Are you sure?"
After Princess Saihan asked this, she quickly realized what was happening and asked, "Do you understand martial arts?"
"I know a thing or two."
Princess Saihan nodded, not taking her little knowledge seriously. The Princess of Hui'an and Prince of Jingnan had only known each other for a short time, so it was impossible for her to have taught them everything from archery and horse riding to martial arts.
Even if she was taught, Princess Hui'an was already past the age of practicing martial arts. At most, she knew some boxing and kicking skills, which she had been learning since she was a child.
"In that case, let's do as the Hui'an County Lady says."
"Okay."
The eunuch pointed in the direction ahead and said, "The targets have been prepared for you two. There are two types of targets. The emperor wants you two to compete with each other."
The two saw fixed targets and moving targets.
"good."
"The bows and arrows have been prepared for you two. Princess and County Lady, please choose the one that suits you best."
Chen Li and Sai Han went up together to choose bows and arrows that suited them. These were all fine products. Chen Li picked one at random, tried it out, and thought it was suitable, so he didn't choose any more.
Unlike her casual attitude, Princess Saihan is much more serious. She can only win and not lose in this game.
After seeing that they had made their choice, the young eunuch stopped interrupting and let them do what they wanted.
"Please go first, Lady Hui'an."
Chen Li shook her head, "Princess is the guest, you go first."
"Okay, in that case, I won't be polite with you."
Princess Saihan drew out an arrow, put it on the string, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot out.
There were three arrows in total. Princess Saihan shot all three arrows at the target quickly and accurately in one go.
Putting down the arrow, she breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she had performed well and should not lose.
"Princess Hui'an, it's your turn."
Chen Li picked up the bow and arrow, put three arrows on the bowstring, adjusted the angle, and shot them out in front of Princess Saihan's surprised expression.
"Swish swish~"
Princess Saihan said with a complicated expression, "Even if you know you can't win, there's no need to be so negative. Wouldn't the results be disastrous later?"
"Princess, I didn't lose."
Except for those who knew Chen Li, everyone else was shocked by his state, of course, except for the person who was guarding not far from the target. He clearly saw that the three arrows hit the center of the bull's eye. If they were shot one by one, it would not be enough to surprise him.
But these were three arrows shot in succession, which proves that the Hui'an County Lady is an excellent archer.
He had just watched Princess Saihan's arrows. Two of the three arrows hit the outside of the bull's eye, and one hit the fifth ring.
Without the comparison with the Princess of Hui'an, her results were pretty good. However, after the comparison, her results were not impressive enough.
Everyone was waiting for the results of the two. Seeing Chen Li's negative attitude, they all thought that Princess Saihan would definitely win this time.
"Princess Hui'an, Princess Saihan, you may proceed to the next competition."
The young eunuch didn't know the specific results of the two, but his attitude did not change.
The two of them jumped onto their horses with neat and clean movements. Princess Saihan glanced at Chen Li getting on the horse and her eyes froze.
Suddenly she had a very bad feeling in her heart, she thought, she underestimated the enemy.
"Princess, County Lady, someone will release pigeons into the sky later. There will be twenty pigeons in total. We will win by numbers."
After seeing them nod, the young eunuch gestured to the other side, and soon, many pigeons flew out in the air.
The tails of their arrows are different. Chen Li's arrow tail is red, while Princess Saihan's is yellow.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
The sound of arrows being shot kept coming from the venue, but they couldn't tell who shot them. They only saw pigeons in the sky falling down one after another.
Xie Yunci looked at the ministers below and asked, "Who do you think will win?"
Prime Minister Zhu: "Your Majesty, my eyes are dim and I cannot tell."
"Ah, the Prime Minister is still strong and healthy, so there is no harm in talking."
Prime Minister Zhu squinted his eyes for a moment before speaking, "In my humble opinion, the Hui'an County Governor should win."
Before Xie Yunci could respond, Prime Minister Zhu's old rival, Duke Dingguo, spoke up, "Prime Minister, are you blind? No matter how you look at it, Princess Saihan has the upper hand."
In fact, he also thought that Princess Hui'an had a greater chance of winning, but he just liked to go against Prime Minister Zhu.
