Each of her analyses was always just right, yet gave her unlimited ideas.
Including this palace banquet, it was also because of her that I had the opportunity to come.
Zhou Shuchu, who was following Chi Zijin, looked at Jian Xiu with admiration.
She had always known that her fourth aunt had changed, but she didn't know that she had become so powerful.
She still clearly remembered the emperor's praise just now.
The most important thing is that the fourth aunt was completely unmoved in the face of these compliments.
It was as if all of this was already anticipated by her.
Or in other words, these questions seemed not difficult at all for her.
"Cousin, do you think my mother is amazing?" Zhang Feilan's voice interrupted Zhou Shuchu's thoughts.
Looking down at Zhang Feilan, who was holding her child, Zhou Shuchu nodded without thinking and said:
"Well, your mother is really amazing. I admire her very much."
In the competition area.
When Jian Xiu and his companions went over, the warriors had already started rubbing their hands together.
Seeing Jian Xiu and Zhang Zixuan, everyone subconsciously made way for them to pass.
This time, Jian Xiu brought several children with her.
The children just now were sitting relatively far back, together with the officials' sons and daughters, so no one noticed them for a while.
Besides, everyone's eyes were on Jian Xiu in the Tihe Hall at that time, so it was natural that they didn't notice them.
"Everyone, do you see the target? There are two types of martial arts tests on this day. The two people with the best archery skills will compete with each other. The winner will be the first. Do you understand?"
Eunuch Su stood in the center of the arena and spoke to everyone.
At this time, the servants had already moved the chairs of Mu Junyou and others to the high positions.
Only after several people sat down did the competition officially begin.
"Do you want to try it?" Zhang Zixuan turned his head and asked Jian Xiu who was standing beside him.
"No, I'm not interested!" Jian Xiu said lightly.
She didn't know why, but when she saw such a competition, she always thought of a scene on the battlefield.
During this period, she always had a bad feeling.
She had never had this feeling when she took part in the literary competition in the Tihe Hall before.
But here at this moment, seeing these arrows and these arrows, that ominous feeling came back.
Noticing that Jian Xiu's face looked bad, Zhang Zixuan lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I am..."
"General, why don't you give it a try?"
Before Jian Xiu finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted at Zhang Zixuan.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"You go! I'm fine!" Jian Xiu said to Zhang Zixuan.
She knew that Zhang Zixuan preferred the martial arts test to the written test.
From the day she taught him martial arts, his talent for martial arts became terrifyingly high.
He looked as if he was learning martial arts just for the sake of it.
And just now, the way his eyes lit up when he watched those people competing was indeed rare.
"Then I'll go?"
Jian Xiu nodded gently and said "hmm" as a response.
Seeing Zhang Zixuan's back as he walked forward, Jian Xiu's lips tightened subconsciously.
I couldn't help but close my eyes, but as if I sensed something, I suddenly opened them again.
For some reason, when she closed her eyes just now, she seemed to see Mishra's figure.
Very strong feeling...
Mizhil's arrogant back on the battlefield...
And the way he captured Fei Xuan and the others...
He tied several people to a rack and used it to threaten her...
......
All of these appeared before my eyes one by one.
Looking at Zhang Zixuan standing in the center of the arena, it was obvious that he had already won the archery competition.
He shook his head vigorously, telling himself that no, Mizhier couldn't be in the capital now.
"I heard that Princess An Ning is an amazing archer. I wonder if she can show you some of her skills?"
Shu Yao, who was in a high position, asked Jian Xiu.
She saw clearly how Jian Xiu was distracted just now, including the moment she closed her eyes.
When she closed her eyes, she looked obviously frightened and worried.
The most important thing is that after opening her eyes, her complexion was obviously not good.
This was fear in Shu Xiaoyao's eyes.
And what does she have to be afraid of?
Could it be that she actually doesn't know martial arts at all?
As mentioned above, all her military merits were gained thanks to her husband Zhang Zixuan?
Thinking of how she stole the limelight in the past, Shu Xiaoyao felt so angry that her teeth itched.
That's why he challenged her like this.
Hearing Shu Xiaoyao's words, Jian Xiu just curled her red lips coldly, and then said:
"The Queen wants me to perform?"
To Shu Xiaoyao, these words were a blatant challenge to her.
As the queen, how could she swallow such humiliation?
Ever since she became the queen, she has always been surrounded by people who are responsive and obedient. Who dares to contradict her?
However, Jian Xiu's appearance broke her illusion.
But since she could become the queen, how could she be defeated by Jian Xiu's two short sentences?
He took a deep breath and continued:
"Look at what Princess An Ning said. I just want to see Princess An Ning's ability. The Emperor said that Princess An Ning is a heroine of our Dashun Dynasty. It's a rare opportunity today. How can Princess An Ning not show off her abilities?"
These words made Jian Xiu couldn't help but applaud her in her heart.
She is indeed eloquent, worthy of being the queen of a country.
If she could use this fighting spirit in educating her son, the prince might not have developed such a vicious character.
Looking at Shu Xiaoyao's obvious look of wanting to see how ugly she was, Jian Xiu sneered again.
Without thinking, he walked forward quickly and picked up the sword and arrow beside him.
Set up the bow, place the arrow, aim, release the bow...
The action was done in one go, without any hesitation or unnecessary energy.
He looked very relaxed, with an innate confidence on his face.
In the eyes of many people, Jian Xiu's actions were just playing house and there was no way she could win.
No one thought highly of her because she had no aim.
Especially Shu Yao, who was in a high position, she wanted to peel off Jian Xiu's skin and pull out her tendons.
But Zhang Zixuan was different. Looking at the slender figure in the center of the arena, his gaze was softer than ever before.
In this life, as long as she is there, it is enough.
"call out......"
The arrow that no one was optimistic about flew straight towards the center of the target...
