[How dare a concubine be so arrogant? ]
As the conversation ended, the group had already walked out of the bamboo forest. At a glance, a target had been erected in the originally empty space.
Jiang Yueyang and Gu Ruo walked to the women's side together. There were several people standing on the competition venue.
Emperor Yuan stood in the front, followed by the Crown Prince, Prince Huan, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince.
The fourth prince died shortly after he was born, the seventh, eighth and ninth princes were studying abroad, and the other princes were still young and did not come.
The system said: [She is not a concubine's daughter. Although she is not the biological daughter of the Princess of Annan, she is registered under the Princess' name and is considered a legitimate daughter.]
After hearing this, everyone present knew who she was talking about.
Because the Princess of Annan had no biological daughter, she only had an adopted daughter under her name, who was the girl in green who had made Lord Xiao Jiang kneel down and apologize before—Li Qianru.
Civil and Military Officials: Oh my god, have you already started eating melons? Did I miss anything?
Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. So fast?
He knew that the Annan King and his family would not escape the fate of being eaten by the melons, but he did not expect it to come so soon.
The King of Annan, who was standing in front of a group of officials at that time, already knew Jiang Yueyang's identity, including her thoughts.
Hearing her talking about herself in her mind, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Jiang Yueyang said, "Whose daughter is she then?"
[Nominally, she was an adopted daughter of the King of Annan, but in fact, there was a lot going on. ]
[Oh?] Jiang Yueyang was immediately interested, [It sounds like a big deal!]
Not only Jiang Yueyang felt so, Emperor Yuan and all the civil and military officials also thought it was a big melon.
Emperor Yuan couldn't wait to say: "This archery competition is open to both men and women. Whoever wins first place will be rewarded handsomely!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but expose his past.
[Your Majesty is really good at boasting! His entire fortune is only three hundred taels, what can he use to get such a huge reward? ]
Emperor Yuan blushed immediately.
All the civil and military officials were shocked. They knew that His Majesty was poor, but they didn't know he was so poor!
The system chuckled, [The emperor's writing is also something that many people are eager to get. At worst, you can be rewarded with a plaque. On the plaque is written: A divine archer who never misses a shot! ]
[Hahahaha... Your Majesty must be the poorest emperor in history, even having to devote himself to performing arts. ]
The third prince bit his lip to hold back his laughter. His father had fallen to the point of rewarding pens and ink, which was just like devoting himself to performing arts.
Emperor Yuan didn't want to listen to Jiang Yueyang's cricket talk anymore, so he drew his bow and shot the first arrow immediately.
It hit the bull's eye and the whole audience cheered.
Jiang Yueyang was a little surprised by this, [I never knew that Your Majesty is good at archery! ]
Hearing this, Emperor Yuan raised his chin proudly.
Of course not!
When I was young, I was the best at riding and shooting among all my brothers and sisters!
After Emperor Yuan boasted in his heart, he put down his bow and arrow and sat next to the Empress.
The prince and others also drew their bows and shot the first arrow, and then the archery competition officially began.
The first round was started by the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Eldest Princess, Wen Jinnian (youngest son of the Left Prime Minister), Young Master He (son of the Right Prime Minister), and Miss Zhang Liu (daughter of General Zhenguo).
The rules of the competition are that each person shoots three arrows, and the top three with the highest scores win and advance to the next round.
"Clang!" Li Fuquan struck the gong, "The competition begins!"
After a while, the prince, Wen Jinnian, and Miss Zhang Liu won.
In the second round, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and Jiang Xun were the first to enter the competition venue.
When Gu Ruo saw Jiang Xun going up to compete, she hesitated for a few seconds and then urged Wen Shuyan and Qiao Xi to accompany her.
"Aruo, I don't know how to shoot arrows." Wen Shuyan was the first to refuse.
"Neither can I."
Seeing that the two were unwilling to go up no matter what, Gu Ruo turned his attention to Jiang Yueyang.
She hugged Jiang Yueyang's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Yangyang, can you come up with me?"
"I can't shoot arrows either..."
"We don't have to come out on top, just shoot whatever you want. Okay?"
Jiang Yueyang was so swayed that she had no choice but to agree.
Then, the two of them walked up under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Almost at the same time, Lu Yunting also stepped forward to fill the last position.
Emperor Yuan and Empress Dowager said disdainfully, "Why did Jiang Yueyang go up there to join in the fun? With her thin arms and legs, she can hardly draw a bow."
The Queen rolled her eyes and said, "Master Xiao Jiang is quite strong. I heard from Director Guo that Master Xiao Jiang almost knocked out his teeth with that slap last time."
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Over there, the competition began, and six people raised their bows and arrows.
Lu Yunting glanced to the side and saw Jiang Yueyang easily pull the bow and arrow, then he shifted his gaze to the target.
“Swoosh~”
The fifth prince, the sixth prince and Jiang Xun shot the first arrow, and all three of them hit the bull's eye.
Gu Ruo shot the arrow immediately afterwards, but unfortunately the arrow fell halfway.
She lowered her head in shame, it was so bad.
Then, Jiang Yueyang let go and shot the arrow out.
Her arrow did not fall off halfway, but hit the hat of the eunuch who was in charge of keeping score.
The civil and military officials looked at the arrow on the young eunuch's head, were stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.
Emperor Yuan also laughed out loud. He had great strength, but his aim was not accurate at all.
How can someone be so biased?
Jiang Yueyang heard a series of laughter and turned around with wide eyes, [Let me see who is laughing at me! Little melon, write it all down for me. ]
[Okay, the people who laughed the loudest were the Emperor, the Duke of Ying, the Duke of Su, the Third Prince, and Guo Yuanzheng...]
The system read out a string of names, and the people whose names were read out stopped smiling instantly.
The laughter gradually stopped.
Jiang Yueyang snorted in her heart, then ran over and pulled the arrow out of the little eunuch's head.
"Did I scare you? I'm sorry."
The young eunuch shook his head palely. He couldn't afford Jiang Yueyang's apology.
"Go away, this place is not..."
Before Jiang Yueyang could finish her words, the young eunuch ran away, holding a gong in his hand as a shield.
Jiang Yueyang: "..."
She returned to her competition position with her head hung, and Lu Yunting's arrow whizzed past her.
As expected, Lu Yunting's first arrow also hit the bull's eye.
After he shot the first arrow, he turned around and said to Jiang Yueyang, "When you shoot the second arrow, move one position to the left according to the angle you just shot."
Jiang Yueyang exclaimed, and the second arrow hit the eighth ring. She immediately jumped up with joy.
After a while, the second round of competition ended.
The Sixth Prince, Jiang Xun and Lu Yunting won.
Jiang Yueyang returned to the viewing area and saw big guys like King Annan and General Zhenguo also going up to compete.
Suddenly she remembered that she seemed to have left a melon uneaten.
So, she asked: [Little melon, what's the story behind the melon about King Annan? ]
As soon as these words were spoken, King Annan's hand shook and the arrow accidentally shot out, missing the target.
The system said: [There is a saying that truth is falsehood, falsehood is truth. Host, let me tell you from the beginning.]
