General Zhong did not expect that Crown Prince Long would stand up for Yun Fuyi at this moment.
Prince Ning is the emperor’s defeated general. Why would the prince stand up for his defeated general’s old lover?
But this does not prevent him from taking this opportunity to stir up trouble.
"Your Highness, the general just heard some old things, so he misunderstood the relationship between Princess Yun and Prince Ning." General Zhong bowed his hand to Fu Yi perfunctorily: "The general is a big boss. If you can’t speak, please forgive me.”
“Give the general two more jars of wine.” Sui Tingheng’s eyes were frosty: “If you can’t speak, please drink more, lest the general think that I, Dalong, cannot entertain guests. Week.”
"Thank you for the reward, Crown Prince." Seeing that General Zhong was about to have another attack, the Sixth Prince held down his hand and raised his wine glass to Sui Tingheng: "In the past few days that I have been living in the capital, I have often heard people praise the Crown Prince for his great talent and dignified appearance. , when I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.”
Sui Tingheng looked at him for a moment and said lightly: "I wonder which prince of your country you are?"
Hearing these words, Fuyi almost laughed out loud. Prince Liyan said that the prince's reputation was well-deserved. , the prince asked him which prince he was, and he didn't even directly ask "who are you?"
"Go down six." The sixth prince's smile did not change.
"It turns out to be the sixth prince." Sui Tingheng picked up the wine glass, touched the corner of his lips and put it down: "I heard that the eldest prince of your country is good at literature, the second prince is good at painting, the third prince is good at martial arts, and the fourth prince is good at martial arts. Calligraphy..."
He slowly counted the talents of the princes of Liyan Kingdom, but just missed the sixth prince: "I wonder what the sixth prince is good at?"
The warm smile on the sixth prince's face became a bit stiff.
"My sixth highness is both civilized and martial, especially good at archery." The sixth prince's attendant was a little unhappy. Prince Longchao knew the abilities of all the princes, so why didn't he know the abilities of his highness?
"Oh." Sui Tingheng said in a slightly protracted tone: "That's it."
Enrollment: "..."
That's it? No more?
At least give me a few compliments in a casual way.
Fu Yi stretched out his thumb from his sleeve and raised it towards Sui Tingheng.
It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince, who is usually very personable, can be quite angry when he makes people angry.
The two people's eyes met. Sui Tingheng glanced at her thumb, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then lowered them back with the action of drinking.
"The little king has mediocre qualifications and is not as outstanding as the brothers." The sixth prince stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince can have a discussion with the little king so that the little king can get some advice from you."
The ministers of the Long Dynasty frowned. Today is the crowning ceremony and enthronement ceremony of the crown prince. Prince Liyan wants to create trouble for the Long Dynasty in the name of discussion?
"Sixth Prince, I am both civil and military, and I ask His Highness to compete with you. Wouldn't it be bullying the weak?" Fuyi stood up, cupped his hands in the direction of the empress, and then said to the Sixth Prince: "I The Long Dynasty paid attention to persuading people with virtue and pity. We are weak, so why don’t we let my daughter compete with you? No matter whether we win or lose, we can also let His Highness the Crown Prince guide us.”
Sixth Prince: “…”
I’ll humble myself, but you still have to. Do you think I have no ability?
"Prince, don't be nervous." Fuyi walked to the center of the palace and held the bow presented by the palace servant in his hand: "I have always been an uneducated person, so you can rest assured to compete."
The emperor looked at the sixth prince. He looked so helpless that he almost laughed out loud.
"Set a target for Your Highness. Everyone, please follow me out to have a look." The emperor saw the excitement and did not mind it. He led everyone out of the inner hall, and did not forget to comfort the Sixth Prince: "Sixth Prince, don't be nervous. Even if you lose, we all understand. "
"Yes, yes, winning or losing is not important, it is just a joke of young people."
"Your Highness, please stand here. You can see it clearly here, so you can give me some advice later. The Sixth Prince’s Archery”
"Everyone, give way and don't affect the performance of the Sixth Prince."
Princess Kangyang and the other female relatives were not idle either. One said, "Don't worry, Sixth Prince. Princess Yun is just a playboy without much ability." One of them said, "Sixth Prince, Princess Yun is very easy to deal with if she is not good at literature or martial arts." That's what's wrong.
However, each of them seemed to be considerate of him, and they even went so far as to cheer him on.
The sixth prince's face was as cold as ice. He had long known that the Long Dynasty people were scheming, but he did not expect them to be so shameless.
"His Royal Highness, if Xiao Wang defeats Princess Yun, can I see your archery skills?" The sixth prince took the bow and arrow from the palace man and felt a sudden shock in his heart.
The weight and material of the bow are not much different from the bows he usually uses. The bow string is also the best material. The people of the Long Dynasty did not do anything with the bow, and they even knew their own habits of using arrows. This shows how thoroughly Longchao understands Liyan Country.
“Yes.” Sui Tingheng nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Yun Fuyi, who was playing with a bow and arrow.
Aware of his gaze, Fuyi raised his head and smiled brightly at him, took an arrow and put it on the string, and said to the Sixth Prince: "Sixth Prince, I wonder how you want to compare?"
< br>"Princess Yun is You are a weak woman, so Xiao Wang will play with Princess Yun." The sixth prince laughed out loud when he saw Yun Fuyi twisting the arrow on the string. Long Chao actually let a woman who was not good at archery compete with him. It's too disrespectful.
"It's like ten arrows. Within ten, whoever hits more bull's-eyes will win." The sixth prince drew his bow and shot an arrow. The sharp arrow flew out and hit the bull's-eye heavily: "This is the first arrow of Xiao Wang." "
Then he shot nine more arrows, each hitting the target.
What a superb archery skill.
The envoys exclaimed again and again, and the officials of the Long Dynasty smiled on their faces and clasped their hands tightly behind them.
Something is not good.
"The prince is good at archery." Fu Yi finally nocked the arrow and pointed the tip of the arrow at the target: "Unlike me, I took a long time to prepare before I dared to use the bow."
"Whoosh!"
The first arrow hit the bullseye.
Fuyi breathed a sigh of relief, with a face full of rejoicing: "Oh, you are so lucky, a good start."
General Zhong crossed his arms and snorted disdainfully, this woman is a bit lucky.
But after the second, third, and even five consecutive shots hit the bullseye, General Zhong let go of his arms and stood up straight with a serious expression.
Something's wrong, this Yun Fuyi clearly knows archery.
"It's strange. I usually miss three of my shots and miss two, so why am I getting divine help today?" Fuyi muttered in a low voice. Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and looked back at the prince with admiration. .
Of course the envoys from various countries did not miss this scene, and they all began to think deeply. I usually miss my arrows, but today it was like a divine help, and when the prince was crowned, the golden dragon suddenly reflected...
Could it be...
For a moment, some envoys guessed a ridiculous possibility and their eyes widened.
Is it true that Long Chao is destined by fate and even God wants to bless them? !
Swish, swish, swish.
Three arrows hit the bullseye again.
Official Long Chao stared at the arrow in Fu Yi's hand with intense eyes, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was twisted into a twist.
You must win, you must win!
"God bless you, and the ancestors of the Sui family bless you." Princess Kangyang fiddled with the bracelet and whispered with her eyes closed: "You must let Yun Fuyi hit it, you must let her hit it."
Liu Xiaopang whispered to Kangyang Gong The Lord whispered in his ear: "Grandma, if she is shot, she will be in the limelight. Can you accept it?"
"It is better for her to be in the limelight than for someone from the Liyan Kingdom to be in the limelight." Princess Kangyang did not dare to open her eyes. Continue to silently call the ancestors of the Sui family in his heart.
If they wish Yun Fuyi to hit the target, she will give them more sticks of incense next time they worship their ancestors.
Boom!
The tenth arrow stably hit the bullseye in the spotlight.
The crowd cheered, and they handed the bow to the palace attendant. They walked up to the Sixth Prince with a smile: "The Sixth Prince is superb in archery. I'm very lucky today. I'm lucky enough to have a tie with you. It's really great." It’s a great joy.”
General Zhong’s expression was a bit subtle. His Highness, the Sixth Prince, who can defeat the enemy at a hundred steps, is tied with a woman like you. Where does the joy come from?
"Why does General Zhong look unhappy?" Fu Yi looked at General Zhong with a puzzled look on his face: "You keep saying that the Sixth Prince's qualifications are mediocre, but now you see that the Sixth Prince is hitting 10 out of 10 shots, don't you feel for him? Are you happy?"
"How could you do this?" Fuyi glanced at the Liyan envoy with reproachful eyes and comforted the Sixth Prince. : "Sixth prince, don't feel sad because of the prejudice of some people. All of us in Dalong admire your archery skills."
She pointed to the cheering crowd: "Look, everyone is cheering for us, so You don’t need to feel inferior.”
The Sixth Prince: “…”
The envoys of Liyan Kingdom: “…”
So vicious and straightforward to sow discord.
The Sixth Prince smiled so hard that his teeth were broken: "Thank you, Princess Yun."
"You're welcome."
"Princess Yun is right, Sixth Prince The prince's archery skills are indeed amazing." Holding a bow in his hand, Sui Tingheng walked between the two of them, took an arrow from the palace man with his jade-like hand, and put it on the string.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew through the air and was inserted next to the last arrow that Fu Yi had just shot.
The two arrows were close together, like conjoined twins.
"I am not very good at archery. I only occasionally touch bows and arrows when I have fun in my free time." Sui Tingheng smiled faintly, and his cold pool-like eyes carried a compelling aura: "If the Sixth Prince If you want to learn archery, you can ask our generals for advice. They all fight bravely, one against a hundred. "
The sixth prince looked at the arrow shot by Sui Tingheng, his pupils trembled slightly, and he lowered his head to hide all the emotions in his eyes: "Your Highness, you are humble, this arrow has fully shown you. "
This prince is definitely not a weak and incompetent person!
Fuyi didn't expect that the prince could have such good archery skills. She looked at the prince who seemed to be insignificant in Yun Danfengqing, and she suddenly understood in her mind what it means to be "a handsome young man, as clever as a god".
"Hahahahahaha." The emperor laughed loudly: "It's all very good. Everyone returned to the banquet and continued drinking. However, archery is indeed a skill that is not worth mentioning for the prince. Compared with the generals here, , the prince is still far away.”
The officials of the Long Dynasty were all smiling and complimenting each other endlessly. Of course, they were so hospitable to their guests that they did not forget the Sixth Prince. Every time they praised the Prince, they also praised him.
"The Sixth Prince is also very good, on par with Princess Yun."
"Princess Yun has learned martial arts, riding and archery from General Cao since she was a child. Can you compare with the Sixth Prince? A tie means you are also very powerful.”
"We all see the Sixth Prince's ability, and those who say you have mediocre qualifications have no discernment."
Envoys from Liyan Kingdom: "..."
No better than before, yes Who said that Princess Yun was uneducated and incompetent, and who said that Princess Yun was incompetent in literature and martial arts?
Liars are all a bunch of shameless liars!
The officials of the Long Dynasty were indeed very happy. They actually did not expect that Yun Fuyi could be so successful. Not only was he tied with the Sixth Prince of Liyan, but he also made the envoy of Liyan speechless. Come.
It's true that a dandy is bad, but if this dandy is someone else, then...
Then she is not a dandy, but a smart and good girl.
King Ning looked at the dazzling Fu Yi. After a while, he came back to his senses and found that Lu Siyue had walked away from him at some point.
He looked around and saw Lu Siyue joking with several clan princesses and county lords. These clan women were very close to Lu Siyue, and they no longer had the politeness and alienation of the past.
The members of the clan have always acted according to the prevailing circumstances. His current status is embarrassing. Lu Siyue is his princess, how can they really accept her?
He carefully observed these clan girls, Sui Anying, Sui Wan, Lin Jin, Yang Suqing...
In an instant, he thought of one person.
The clouds blow over the clothes.
These girls from the clan are all good friends with Yun Fuyi.
"Your Highness." Taking advantage of the opportunity to return to the inner hall with everyone, Fu Yi walked to Sui Tingheng and whispered: "Your Highness's archery skills astonished the courtiers."
How many surprises do you have that people don’t know about yet?
"I just learned a little bit in the past two years." Sui Tingheng bowed his head slightly and whispered in her ear: "I'm not as good as Fu Yi."
The restless Prince Ning Walking through the crowd, he stared blankly at the two people standing very close to each other not far away.
Sui Tingheng stood up straight, glanced sideways in his direction, and smiled.
