"Yaoyao!" Chu Chenjing smiled and shook his head helplessly when he saw Ouyang Yunyao like this.

When Ouyang Yunyao heard Chu Chenjing calling her, she realized that she seemed to have gone too far. The emperor and the queen were still here! She stuck out her tongue guiltily, waved her hands at Chu Chenjing and said, "Okay, okay, no more bets, no more bets, I'm just kidding!"

Then he turned to Liang Yishan and said, "Fourth Princess, have you thought it through? If you want to compete, then let's get started! If you give up, I will leave."

"Who said we don't want to compete? Let's start now!"

Ouyang Yunyao was delighted: Come on! Come on!

At this time, the head of the Ministry of Rites asked the emperor for his consent and came over. "Fourth Princess, Princess Jing, are you ready to continue the competition?"

Both parties agreed.

The two walked to the stage, and the military attaché brought the horses. Liang Yishan asked someone to bring the red Arabian horse she had brought, which seemed to be well prepared.

Ouyang Yunyao was just about to pick a horse at random when Chu Chenjing was very considerate and brought her his own exclusive mount, the snow-white Zhuifeng, which Ouyang Yunyao had ridden several times before.

This move made all the ladies on the stage envious and jealous. "Prince Jing is so good to Princess Jing." "Yes, he actually gave a horse to Princess Jing in person."...

The military officer announced the rules of the horseback archery competition: "Each person runs three laps around the horse field. There are various obstacles and checkpoints inside the circle, and targets are set at a certain distance outside the circle. Within the time limit of half an incense stick, the contestants must run three laps and pass the obstacles smoothly. The one who shoots the most arrows on the target wins."

On one side, Liang Yisan, wearing white riding clothes, rode gracefully on a maroon horse, attracting a lot of attention.

On the other side, Ouyang Yunyao was wearing a lavender tight-fitting dress, which showed off her slender waist. She gently stroked the white horse with her hand, and seemed to be communicating with it. This picture was even more eye-catching.

Before the martial arts officer asked who would go on stage first, Liang Yisan couldn't wait to rush to go on stage first. She was very experienced in competitions and knew that the good results of the people in front would often bring great pressure to those competing later.

Ouyang Yunyao doesn't care when she appears. Wouldn't it be more devastating to appear later?

The military officer announced, "The horseback archery competition has officially begun!" With a command, the first incense stick was lit, and the fourth princess Liang Yisan rode her red horse and glanced at Ouyang Yunyao proudly, as if to say: "Little guy, just wait to admit defeat!" She rode her horse and galloped towards the field at high speed, bringing up a cloud of flying sand and rocks.

The man and the horse were so agile that everyone in the stands was deeply attracted. Everyone couldn't help but sigh: This Princess Nanchu is really good at riding and shooting. Princess Jing probably won't be so lucky this time, and she's going to make a mistake...

When the horse is galloping, the archer must always keep in tune with the horse and control the direction and speed of the horse with his legs so as to keep his body balanced and shoot the arrow smoothly.

Liang Yisan was seen riding a horse and easily crossing the obstacles. After running most of the circle, she saw the target in front of her, pulled the bow on her body and shot the arrow.

Almost every arrow she shot hit the distant target, although not every one of them hit the target. This level of archery on horseback was already extraordinary, something that many men present could not achieve.

Everyone present held their breath, not daring to breathe, for fear of startling the horses on the field.

People in the stands had different expressions. Many of them had gloating looks on their faces. "Hehe, now Princess Jing is at a disadvantage!" Prince Yu and the Queen Mother's people were even worse. They all laughed at Princess Jing for overestimating her own abilities.

Ouyang Yunyao was not affected by the people present at all. She looked calm and composed, watching the performance of the archers on the field calmly, and occasionally she would praise them: Not bad!

……

"Whoa!" Just as the incense stick burned out, Liang Yishan rode her horse to Ouyang Yunyao's side. She raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of mockery and ridicule. "Princess Jing, it's your turn to appear!"

At the same time, the general took people to record the number of arrows Liang Yisan shot on the target.

After a while, Ouyang Yunyao also started the competition. She calmly adjusted the bow and arrow in her hand, then put it behind her back and climbed onto the horse. The purple shirt matched the snow-white horse very well, and she looked heroic and impressive!

Ouyang Yunyao rode on the warhorse, and for a moment, she felt as if she had returned to the army of her previous life. That unrestrained and carefree feeling of galloping across the battlefield was back!

Chu Chenjing couldn't help but cheer for his little princess loudly on the sidelines, "Yaoyao, you can do it!"

“Princess Jing, I’m watching you! One, two, three, four!” Qin Lin, the Crown Prince of Dongqin, had just held it in for a long time but couldn’t hold it in any longer.

Ouyang Yunyao curled her lips into a smile and waved to them with her back to them.

At a command, the incense was lit.

Ouyang Yunyao shouted "Go!", clamped her legs around the horse's belly, and galloped towards the center of the field.

She quickly flew over the obstacle, picked up the bow and arrow, raised her hands into the air, drew the bow and arrow, and shot the arrow quickly. "Swoosh" "Swoosh" every arrow hit the target steadily, and every arrow hit the center of the target!

"Wow!" Everyone in the stands had their eyes wide open. Some people opened their mouths wide, unable to close them for a long time. "Hey, this, this, didn't they say that Princess Jing can't ride a horse?" This question expressed the thoughts of many people.

Ouyang Yunyao: Please! When did I say I can't ride a horse?

Ouyang Yunyao's elder brother Ouyang Yunyu looked at this scene and sighed in his heart: When did my little sister become so powerful? Was it Prince Jing who taught her?

Ouyang Yunyao didn't pause, and there were a few more "swoosh" sounds, and all her movements seemed to be as smooth as running water. After the second lap, the third lap began. The obstacles in the field were no difficulty for Ouyang Yunyao. At this time, she was out of character and directly put three arrows on one bow, "swoosh, swoosh", "swoosh, swoosh", "swoosh, swoosh"... All three arrows hit the bull's eye accurately!

While everyone was still staring in a trance and hadn't reacted, Ouyang Yunyao had already ridden her horse back to the place where the incense was burning. At this time, one third of the incense was still unburned.

"Princess Jing has finished her horseback archery ahead of schedule!" The military officer shouted, waking up everyone in the field.

At this moment, Liang Yishan's face was flushed, and she clutched her dress tightly with both hands and muttered to herself, "How is this possible! How could this happen!"

"Good, good, good." The emperor was the first to applaud, and then countless applause rang out continuously.

Ouyang Yunyao dismounted in a handsome manner and returned the bow and arrow to the military officer.

When the arena quieted down, the military officer reported the number of arrows that hit the target and announced loudly, "Princess Jing hit 22 more arrows than the four princesses of Southern Chu. Princess Jing won the horse archery competition!"
