Chapter 1097
When the banquet was about to end, the emperor asked Li Cheng to bring a few plates of zongzi and put them in the distance.

Except for Jin Fengdie, the rest of the concubines knew that this was about to shoot rice dumplings.

Another eunuch was waiting with a tray of jewellery.

The emperor said: "In previous years, there was a rice dumpling shooting competition at the Dragon Boat Festival, and this year is no exception. The jewels over there are rewards."

Ying Ning greeted everyone: "You all come up and try."

"I want to try it myself."

When even a lady stood up, eager to participate.

Ruan Minmin sarcastically said, "You can't control yourself."

The lady immediately stopped in her tracks, her face full of embarrassment: "Sister Ruan Pin, what does this mean?"

"Haven't you heard that our empress is a good archer that even lieutenants admire and worship? How dare you make a fool of yourself in front of the empress?"

"Concubine Ruan, this is just a lottery for the festival. Let's have fun, don't take it seriously." Yingning said, "Ms. Zhou, just go and shoot. If you hit a shot, you will be rewarded."

Only then did Miss Zhou summon up her courage, and went to pick up a bow and an arrow without a point, aimed at the rice dumpling, and shot it out.

The arrow missed, only hit the tray, and fell down.

"oops."

Miss Zhou was a little annoyed, she put down her bow and arrow, not daring to look at the emperor and empress, she blushed and returned to her seat in embarrassment.

The emperor still propped his chin up, looking lazy and indifferent, and didn't lift his eyelids.

Ying Ning smiled and said: "Although Miss Zhou missed the shot, Miss Zhou dared to be the first to come up to the competition. Her courage is commendable and deserves to be rewarded. Come on, go and choose the one that suits Miss Zhou."

The eunuch immediately took the tray and sent it to Lady Zhou.

"I thank the empress for the reward!"

Surprised and delighted, Zhou Shunv quickly got up to thank her, and then carefully selected a gold hairpin.

Once she made the start, the other concubines rushed up to compete.

Some were hit, and some were not.

The ones who hit the shots were rewarded, and they smiled happily, and those who missed the shots also got a small gift from the empress alone.

Everyone is happy, everyone is happy.

"Others have tried it, won't the empress open your eyes?" the emperor asked.

"The concubines also want to see the magic arrow of the empress." Jiang Fu joked.

The rest of the concubines couldn't help but sit up straight.

Ying Ning smiled and said, "My arrows have killed Japanese pirates, but now I'm going to use them to shoot zongzi."

The concubines couldn't help feeling chills when they heard this.

What does this empress look like when she is usually looking beautiful, beautiful and weak, when she is fighting Japanese pirates on the battlefield.

Ying Ning stood up, picked up the bow and arrow, and didn't have to go to the predetermined position to shoot rice dumplings. She just stood at her seat, took the arrow and drew the bow, and shot it casually without even aiming carefully——

Whoosh!
Those who were close could even hear the buzzing sound of the arrow flying out at high speed.

Whoa!

Because it was too accurate and the force was too great, the arrow actually overturned the whole tray.

The zongzi rolled to the ground.

The girls were stunned.

Was this accuracy and strength really shot out by the empress's delicate and delicate hands?
All the concubines clapped and applauded.

Sitting next to Yingning, Tang Qing kept her eyes on her, seeing her more clearly than others.The moment she took the arrow and drew the bow, her eyes completely changed, becoming cold and confident.

Arrows are the weapons with which she can go forward.

Tang Qing did not participate in that war.

It is also impossible to know how she shot and killed thousands of Japanese pirates with a few gunpowder bamboo tubes and a bow.

But the aura she exuded the moment she shot the rice dumpling just now made Tang Qing realize that Ying Ning was a born warrior.

She was put off by her parentage and her identity as a woman.

If she were a man, she would definitely be able to do better than him back then.
