Yun Sheng, on the other hand, looked calm. She continued eating and drinking, as if this competition had nothing to do with her.
"Next, Young Madam Qing."
Young Madam Qing was the tenth from the bottom, ahead of the Crown Prince's concubines and the Crown Prince's concubines.
Young Madam Qing stepped forward.
Twenty people had stepped forward in succession. The originally empty target was now densely packed with nearly a hundred arrows.
The difficulty of archery had greatly increased.
Young Madam Qing was not good at archery. At this moment, she was a little nervous. Her first arrow happened to hit the arrow of the first general's wife. However, her arm was not strong enough, so the arrow was blocked and fell to the ground.
Out of the five arrows, one had missed.
Young Madam Qing's face turned pale, and her hands began to tremble.
Her performance was not very good. She shot four arrows in a row, but all of them landed on the sixth or seventh ring.
When Young Madam Qing stepped down, her face turned green.
Among all the contestants, her performance was the worst.
If this went on …
After a few more rounds, it was Li Huali's turn.
Li Huali looked weak and slender, as if she could not even lift the bow.
She stepped forward, and a trace of wisdom flashed across her eyes. She pulled the bowstring, and a stream of magic power was injected into the bow.
Whoosh! The arrow was released from the bowstring.
The arrow hit the bullseye.
"Good job, the tenth ring. Concubine Li, good shot."
Li Huali looked complacent.
She then shot four more arrows, and all of them landed on the ninth ring.
In this way, Li Huali suddenly became the most outstanding archer among all the contestants.
When Li Huali stepped down, she glanced at the people from the Crown Prince's Mansion. The complacency in her eyes was obvious.
"Next, it should be this servant's turn." Madam Chi Bi smiled and casually picked up her bow. She raised her bow and shot an arrow. Only a "bang" sound was heard.
Her fingers moved at an amazing speed. In an instant, the five arrows turned into a straight line and hit the center of the arrow.
The five arrows all hit the bullseye of the tenth ring.
"Good. Xiu 'er, it seems that your Crown Prince Mansion is also full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Madame Chi Bi is capable of going out into the hall and onto the battlefield. You're lucky to have her." Later Qin Emperor Dugu Sheng praised. It was rare for a woman to have archery skills like Madame Chi Bi.
"Thank you for your praise, royal father." Dugu Xiu nodded in satisfaction.
With the Dugu father and son's praise, Qing Hou and Qing Qiang were both displeased.
"Qing Qiang has embarrassed herself," Secondary Consort Qing walked forward and took the bow from Madam Chi Bi's hands.
Qingqiang raised her bow and shot five arrows consecutively. One, two, three, four, and they all hit the bullseye.
When it came to the last arrow, Qing Qiang's eyes darkened. She sent a hidden force into the arrow and the bow.
With a boom, Qing Qiang's last arrow collided with Madam Chi Bi's arrow. The two arrows collided and Madam Chi Bi's arrow was immediately split into two.
"Good, Qiang 'er, good archery." Qing Hou stood up and applauded Qing Qiang's archery skills.
Similarly, all five arrows hit the bullseye.
"The Qing family's fierce daughter. Secondary Consort Qing's archery skills are on par with Madam Chi Bi's," Dugu Sheng also praised.
Madam Chi Bi's expression was not good. Everyone could see that Qing Qiang had deliberately shot her arrow.
"The last one should be Princess Donghuang," Qing Qiang was pleased with herself. She turned and handed the bow to Yun Sheng.
The onlookers thought to themselves: With Madam Chi Bi and Qing Qiang in front, Princess Donghuang will be under a lot of pressure.
Yun Sheng took the arrow and frowned.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Princess. I used too much strength just now and the bow cracked," Qing Qiang pretended to go forward to take a look. It turned out that her last arrow had broken a hole in the bow.
"Men, get a new bow," Dugu Xiu glanced at Qing Qiang with displeasure.
"No need, I have my own bow and arrows," Yun Sheng smiled and untied something from her waist.
It was a palm-sized bow carved out of jade. If one did not pay attention, it would be easy to mistake it for a jade pendant.
Yun Sheng's divine sense moved slightly, and the bow that looked like a jade pendant automatically enlarged until it was a size suitable for Yun Sheng.
"Ah, the Ruyi Bow!"
Qing Qiang saw the bow and jumped up without caring about his broken arm, pointing at Yun Sheng's bow.
Qing Qiang's eyes were red with anger as she stared at the bow in Yun Sheng's hand.
When Yun Sheng entered the palace earlier, she carried the Ruyi Bow with her like a hanging ornament. Not many people noticed it.
Yun Sheng shrugged. She did not believe that Qing Qiang and her sister would dare to snatch the bow.
Qing Qiang stared at the Ruyi Bow, feeling as if ants were gnawing at her heart.
She really did not dare to snatch the bow in front of so many people. But why would this bow appear on Donghuang Sheng?
Qing Meng saw this and quickly pulled Qing Qiang to the side. "Qiang 'er, calm down. Why do you have to care about a bow? This woman might not even be able to live past today. The whole Later Qin is yours. When the time comes, you can have whatever you want Moyin to make for you. "
Qing Qiong could only suppress her anger. What her big brother said was right. So what if Donghuang Sheng had a good bow? The target right now was filled with arrows. She didn't believe that Donghuang Sheng, that idiot, would be able to get a good result.
If she wasn't careful, she might end up as fertilizer for the flowers later.
Everyone looked as if they were waiting to watch a good show.
Yun Sheng picked up the bow calmly.
In her black eyes, a hint of golden light flashed past unnoticeably.
The entire target was clearly enlarged in her mind.
A hint of a smile appeared on her face.
Yun Sheng's fingertips shook. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
The four arrows were shot at the target in a disorderly manner.
"Pfft, it's actually four one-ring arrows."
Someone laughed softly.
Dugu Xiu's mouth twitched. Look, he did not expect Yun Sheng's archery skills to be so bad.
Of course, the four arrows that Yun Sheng shot out actually hit the outermost red line of the target accurately. They were thousands of miles away from the center of the target.
Four one-ring arrows. Even Young Madam Qing, who missed an arrow earlier, had better archery skills than Yun Sheng.
Dugu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the wine cup in his hand. He looked at Director Song, who was not far away.
Director Song looked at him and nodded his head.
Dugu Xiu then heaved a sigh of relief and put down the wine cup in his hand.
The master and disciple communicated secretly, and the bystanders did not notice it.
No matter what, Dugu Xiu's woman was not allowed to be mocked by others.
Everyone's eyes were now focused on Princess Donghuang, waiting for her to shoot the last arrow.
Even though this arrow was no longer of any importance to him.
"Pfft." Qing Qiang laughed at the side. "Director Song, I think Princess Donghuang is tired from the journey. I'm afraid she hasn't recovered yet. Why don't I shoot the last arrow for her?"
