Chapter 150: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
"Don't worry, father. Wan'er will definitely not let you down." Su Wan'er replied respectfully.
Seeing his daughter was quite well-behaved, Father Su's chest was filled with a lot of relief. He glanced in Lu Zhiyan's direction and sighed, "It's such a pity for the prince. He used to be such a proud son of heaven, but now he has become like this. I heard that he injured his leg and can't do anything."
When Su Wan'er heard this, her eyes lit up. She quietly moved closer, trying to hear more clearly.
"In that case, doesn't that mean there will be no one to succeed him as the crown prince?" Su Wan'er's elder brother asked curiously.
Father Su gave his son a meaningful look before smiling and saying, "You're still young. Even if he's impotent and has no children, he can still adopt one. I heard he has a half-brother, so if things don't work out, he can still inherit from a side branch. How could a noble family cut off their lineage just because of these things?"
"That's true..." After hearing his father's explanation, Su Wan'er's eldest brother teased, "But as a man, without his own children, it's inevitable that people will look down on you."
Father Su didn't say anything. The expression on his face was much more relaxed, and the shining flag not far away didn't look so dazzling anymore.
What's the point of arguing with him? He's just a man with no family lineage. What's the point of him winning these honors?
……
The second game on the field is about to begin.
Ye Zhenzhen was a little nervous. She had indeed practiced horse riding well, but her archery was still a little lacking. This competition was mainly about archery.
But the steward had already come up to invite her. He had just underestimated this seemingly weak princess, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful. The steward's attitude towards her also became respectful.
"Princess, the second round is about to begin. We can leave now."
"Yeah, I got it." Ye Zhenzhen's smile was a little forced. She originally just wanted to surprise Lu Zhiyan a little, and didn't want to take over all the flags today.
Lu Zhiyan's gaze fell on the woman's slightly pale joints, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. She was nervous.
He reached out and held the pair of slightly cold hands, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, go ahead."
Ye Zhenzhen felt a burn from the warmth of Lu Zhiyan's palm. She turned around and looked at him. Lu Zhiyan was in a rare good mood.
She sighed. Lu Zhiyan was such a bastard. Of course he felt it was okay since he wasn't the one on the scene. It wasn't him who would be embarrassed.
The little fox was very concerned about her reputation, but since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to come to the venue reluctantly.
She mounted her horse and turned her head to look. Wow, most of them were the young masters from the previous game. The look they gave her was full of anger.
God knows how much ridicule they endured after being crushed by a woman in the last game. This time, everyone was determined to beat Ye Zhenzhen.
The little fox is under great pressure.
When the competition started, the field was filled with the sound of arrows cutting through the air. Many people shot good results with their first arrow, and soon Ye Zhenzhen was the only one left who had not shot an arrow.
So, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Zhenzhen, waiting for her to make a splash again. After all, her horse racing just now was so amazing.
Ye Zhenzhen withstood the pressure and aimed at the straw target not far away, silently reciting the formula taught by her archery teacher in the past few days.
Shoulders level, body straight, hands strong...
whoosh...
The arrow instantly broke through the air and flew forward, and in everyone's expectation, it landed on the ground some distance away from the target.
The air was silent for a few seconds, and then the servant who was counting the arrows came forward and, after carefully checking, announced loudly, "Princess, it missed the target."
The little fox covered his face and silently comforted himself, it was a mistake.
After three consecutive mistakes, the steward next to him finally couldn't help but ask, "Prince Consort, can you really shoot arrows?"
Boom...
Along with the steward's voice, there was also a loud thunder in the sky. Then, the sky, which had been suppressed for a long time, began to drizzle with rain, just like Ye Zhenzhen's heart at the moment.
She understood what the steward meant. He was simply telling her that if she didn't know how to ride and shoot, she might as well give up as soon as possible.
She nodded. "It's just that I don't have the feel for it today. I can definitely shoot the next arrow. I..."
Before she could finish her words, the arrow in her hand was pulled away by a white hand. Turning her head, she saw that the young master had come to her side without her knowing.
He was wearing a white robe and riding on a horse, with his eyes tied with a red silk. After taking the arrow from Ye Zhenzhen's hand, he aimed at the target in front of him and let go without hesitation.
The next moment, the servant's voice came from the other side of the target, "Prince's Consort, Nine Rings."
Hearing this result, the corners of the young master's mouth curved up, and he said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, I will participate on behalf of the Crown Prince's Consort."
This is the rule of the game. If someone has already entered the field and needs to be replaced, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, the replacement needs to cover his eyes with red silk and shoot arrows blindfolded.
The young master's arrow had the highest score on the field, and he shot it blindfolded. There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone was cheering.
"This young master really has some stuff." Zimu said with emotion.
Zi Yang glared at him, signaling him to stop talking. He glanced at Lu Zhiyan secretly and found that his expression was indeed not right. He quickly said, "This archery skill is just so-so, but it seems unusual at a banquet like this."
It was drizzling and the sky was gloomy.
The second round was about to begin. Ye Zhenzhen pulled out an arrow, but it was once again taken away by the young master. He said to the steward, "It's raining. Let the princess rest. Prepare some refreshments and a heater for her. Don't let her get cold."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little displeased, "Young Master, I appreciate your help, but I don't want to end up like this."
What a shameful outcome this would be, just like a defeated general, feeling humiliated. The always proud little fox didn't want this to happen, as she always cared a lot about her reputation.
Qi Sili paused. In his impression, Ye Zhenzhen had always been timid and had always been bullied in the yard.
Every time I would hide in the corner, hugging him and trembling, tears falling on him like broken dewdrops.
But now, when I get close to her, I feel that she is different. She seems to have become much stronger, as if she has grown a hard shell.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, a cold voice came from the stands.
"My Crown Prince's Consort will not trouble the young master to take care of her."
As the voice fell, a dark figure flew down from the stands and landed steadily on the horse.
She felt a strong chest against her back, and then her hand holding the arrow was grasped. His deep voice whispered in her ear, "Shh, focus, keep your body straight, keep your hands steady, aim at the bull's eye, and release!"
