Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 127 A Hundred Steps Through Yang (2)
Xuan Haiyue looked at Zhou Luquan and smiled slightly: "I'm in trouble, father-in-law."

"What is the princess' order?"

Xuan Haiyue smiled and said: "It's very simple, I need my father-in-law to throw a few copper coins for me and Princess Rouyun." She turned to look at Princess Rouyun and said, "Let's shoot copper coins today."

"Ah! This is too simple." Princess Rouyun smiled indifferently.

"Of course, it's not just as simple as shooting copper coins. After a while, Eunuch Zhou will stand in front of the two of us and throw ten copper coins into the sky. Besides comparing the number of copper coins, we will also see whose arrows shoot farthest and whose copper coins are the best." To shoot many arrows far is to win."

"Then... what if one shoots fewer coins but shoots farther than the other?" Princess Rouyun asked.

"Naturally it's a tie, which proves that Ben Gong and the Princess' arrow skills are comparable." Xuan Haiyue laughed.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" This princess will never lose to you.Princess Rouyun cried in her heart.

"In that case, let's do what Princess Feng wants." Xuanyuan Hang got up and said, "One arrow will determine the outcome, let's start."

The imperial garden was suddenly quiet. Zhou Luquan stood in front of the two with the ten copper coins in his hand and screamed, "Princess, princess, please prepare."

"one……"

The two drew their bows at the same time. Surprisingly, the elegant and graceful Princess Feng drew the bow without much difficulty.And her bow-drawing posture is very accurate, which is completely different from the rusty bow during the inspection just now.

"two……"

Princess Rouyun pulled the bow to the limit, and aimed the arrow at the copper coin in Zhou Gonggong's hand. She had absolute confidence that she could defeat this overconfident Princess Feng.She also shot copper coins in Xiliang. Although the number of copper coins she shot was not many, she still had great confidence compared to this princess.

Princess Rouyun sneered and glanced back at the woman beside her.She clearly saw the eyes of the woman beside her. Although she only saw one of her eyes, the snow-like coldness in her eyes made her heart plunge into the ice cellar almost instantly.The Xuan Haiyue in her eyes seemed to be a different person, her whole body was full of unstoppable murderous aura and confidence that she would hit one hit, as if there was a prey she was bound to catch in front of her.

Xuan Haiyue calmly felt the feeling of the bow and arrow in her hands. She was also taught archery by her father when she was a child. Although she didn't use arrows often, this familiar feeling remained undiminished.Besides, the archery test is not only the skill of the archer, but also the endurance of the archer, and shooting copper coins is the best way.

Almost everyone is waiting for the last moment.Li Hao stared at Princess Rouyun closely. Because of the direction problem, he couldn't see Xuan Haiyue's face, but from the imposing manner, he could clearly feel that Xuan Haiyue was much calmer than Rouyun, and her bow posture was unmistakable. Like a person who doesn't know how to shoot arrows, it's Rouyun who worries him.Rouyun's biological mother passed away early, so his father raised her by his concubine mother's side, so he and Rouyun grew up together, and he knew Rouyun's temperament best.Rouyun's arrow skills are really good in Xiliang, but she is impetuous and easily influenced by the outside world, and what archery needs most is a calm mind, which is exactly what Rouyun lacks the most.Li Hao couldn't help worrying about this younger sister who didn't know what to do.

Feng Tingye sat calmly on the chair, with his hands resting on his legs leisurely, but if someone looked carefully, he would find something hidden under his right hand.His gaze also fell on Princess Rouyun, but it was not her face but the tip of her arrow.Although he was full of confidence in Xuan Haiyue and believed that she would win, he still did it just in case.

I won't lose...Princess Rouyun secretly swallowed her saliva to cheer herself up, and tried her best to look at the copper coins in Zhou Luquan's hand, ignoring Xuan Haiyue beside her as much as possible.

"Three..." A sharp voice rang in his ears, Zhou Luquan threw his right hand vigorously upwards, and quickly left the venue.The ten copper coins in the sky glowed golden and shining under the sunlight.

whoosh-

Princess Rouyun's arrow was released first, and she screamed inwardly. She took off her bow before she was fully prepared for the arrow just now. It is still unknown whether she can hit the copper coins, but Xuan Haiyue next to her still If he didn't release the arrow, he lost this opportunity, and now he can only pray to the heavens to bless Xuan Haiyue to be worse than her.

Xuan Haiyue stared at the copper coins in the sky. She didn't shoot the arrows as soon as the copper coins were released like Princess Rouyun. In that case, even if she hit the copper coins, she could only hit a very small number of them. She would take a moment to release the arrow. .

The copper coins in the sky suddenly became slow-moving prey in her eyes, and she could clearly see the position, direction, and shape of each copper coin falling.She was looking for the best fit for shooting the arrow.

whoosh-

Her arrow shot out accurately and was firmly nailed to the tree trunk five feet away.

Everyone looked at each other, and soon the eunuchs found the arrows of the two and presented them in front of Xuanyuan Hang.There were only two copper coins on Princess Rouyun's arrow, but there were eight copper coins on Xuan Haiyue's arrow, and Princess Rouyun's arrow fell into the grass two feet away.

"How is this possible!" Princess Rouyun exclaimed in disbelief.

Xuan Haiyue laid down the bow and arrow in her hand leisurely, and said to Princess Rouyun with a pleasant smile: "Princess, I'm sorry, I won."

"You...you..." Princess Rouyun pointed at Xuan Haiyue and was speechless for a long time.

Xuan Haiyue looked at her with a smile, only to feel that the depression in her heart today was swept away in an instant.Sure enough, training a disobedient kid is the most relaxing thing.

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Hang clapped his hands and laughed, "What do you think the prince thinks Princess Feng won this competition?"

Li Hao looked at the beautiful, graceful and smiling woman not far away with a complicated expression, stood up and said, "Princess Feng is a woman who does not give way to men, and this prince is convinced. Rouyun, hurry up and apologize to Princess Feng." Li Hao made a decisive decision , said to Princess Rouyun.

If Rouyun admits defeat to Princess Feng and apologizes now, everyone will feel that Rouyun is daring, and they will appreciate her a little bit, and they will not mention it again at the palace banquet in the evening.But if it was dragged to the palace banquet, the news of Rouyun's defeat to Princess Feng would have already spread throughout the palace, and everyone's evaluation of Rouyun would only be lower after some gossip.What's more, it was Rouyun who provoked and was unreasonable Princess Yufeng first. If she fulfilled her previous promise, it would affect the reputation of Xiliang, and even affect his plan.

"You want me to apologize to her..." Rou Yun turned pale, looked at Li Hao and said tremblingly.She never thought that she would lose to a Chinese woman in the field she was most proud of.Thinking about the promise just now, even if you regret it now, it's too late.She looked at Li Hao begging for help, but only got Li Hao's warning and serious eyes.Then he looked at the onlookers, the emperors, queens and concubines of Huaxia, and other princes and grandchildren.
