After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Wei Fu sneered, "Who are you to be so bold as to compete with Princess Chengqian?"

Qi Dongqiang was choked by Wei Fu, and his face turned red and then darker.

She wanted to retort, but subconsciously thought of Wei Fu's "witty remarks", and was afraid of angering him and making him say something even more embarrassing, so she glared at Wei Fu, suppressed her anger, looked at Zhao Ying calmly, and provoked him, "Don't you dare, Princess?"

Zhao Ying frowned and whispered, "It's not that I don't dare, but why should I show off my weapons and ruin the mood on such a peaceful and tranquil occasion like this?"

Seeing that Zhao Ying was unwilling, everyone received the signal and started to build the steps.

"Yes, tonight is a good day for the princess to move to the palace. Reciting poems and writing couplets is also a kind of sentiment. A competition is too violent. If Captain Qi is so interested, how about finding a man with superb archery skills to compete with him another day?"

A military officer stepped forward and laughed, "Captain Qi, if you don't mind, I will challenge you!"

Qi Dongqiang looked surprised and did not make any comment.

A lady of the royal family said softly, "There are so many women and children here. Swords and knives have no eyes. If anyone is hurt, it will be bad..."

At this point, everyone thought that Qi Dongqiang would not seek death again.

Qi Dongqiang was just like this...if she hadn't seen Zhao Ying's guilty look of relief.

Qi Dongqiang's heart skipped a beat, her blood rushed to her body, her mind went blank, and she was extremely excited. She had come here with the purpose of venting Shao Yihui's anger, but ended up being humiliated one after another. With such a proud personality, how could she endure this?

Qi Dongqiang recovered a little, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and challenged Zhao Ying, "If the princess doesn't want to, forget it. I told you that women can't compare to men in bravery. If it is a prince I invite to compete with today, I will definitely get what I want."

Zhao Ying smiled bitterly, "I... I only learned a little bit of archery when I was young, and I haven't touched an arrow for many years after getting married, so my hands are already rusty. Why should I show off my poor skills in front of you? If the captain is itching to show off his skills," Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Shu, "I heard that Shangguan Taishi once shot an enemy general's head with one arrow in the midst of thousands of troops. Why don't Captain Qi compete with him?"

For some reason, Shangguan Shu did not speak up to help Zhao Ying. Instead, he said, "I can prove that the princess has not practiced archery for a long time."

Qi Dongqiang was even more excited when he saw this. He thought the general must also dislike Zhao Ying. Qi Dongqiang sneered, "If that's the case, then I won't make things difficult for the princess. But from now on, the princess should not say such ridiculous things as women and men are equally important. Even a noble person like the princess is clumsy, let alone other women..."

"This..." Zhao Ying frowned.

When everyone saw this, they thought that the princess was really not good with arrows and was slapped in the face by Qi Dongqiang.

Some were so embarrassed by the current scene that they lowered their heads, some snorted coldly, enjoying the fun, and some secretly sighed at Qi Dongqiang's courage... Everyone had different expressions, which was very interesting.

Suddenly, the Crown Princess, who had not spoken a word, coughed twice and said, "If Captain Qi wants to compete with Princess Chengqian in archery, there must be a code. What should happen if he loses, what should happen if he wins? Only with a code can there be motivation!"

This was exactly what Qi Dongqiang wanted. Qi Dongqiang was feeling pretty good now. She looked at Zhao Ying and said, "Okay! Princess, don't worry. I won't embarrass you. Let's set the rules... Let's drink! If you win, I will drink three bowls of wine. If you win, you can just drink one bowl!"

Qi Dongqiang put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and looked arrogant, as if he had already won.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess immediately said, "Okay!"

Zhao Ying looked at the Crown Princess in surprise, and the Crown Princess looked back at him, "Ying'er, compared to her, we can lose in person but not in battle. We can't lose face for all the women in the world!"

Wei Fu said coldly, "That's right. If you lose to her, I'll drink it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a cold glance from Shangguan Shu, but Shangguan Shu retracted his glance after just one glance.

Zhao Ying's face was heavy. "You guys...Okay, I will..."

Shangguan Shu interrupted her again, "It's boring to just drink, why not add a bonus..."

Qi Dongqiang looked at Shangguan Shu with interest, "What do you want to add, General?"

Shangguan Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "It's you two who are competing. It's up to you to decide what to add!"

Qi Dongqiang nodded in agreement, thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I will raise the stakes... If Your Highness loses, I will announce to the world that women are not as good as men."

Zhao Ying narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. She took a deep breath, pretending to be calm, but her eyes were too bright. "...Okay, if I win, then you will announce to the world that...you, Qi Dongqiang, are a castrated woman, a traitor who seduces men, with no roots in your body and a stem in your heart. You are no longer a woman, but a monster. From now on, change your name to Qi Hanjing, how about that?"

As soon as the words came out, someone in the crowd burst into laughter and whispered, "Our prince has a bad mouth. Isn't this saying that Qi Dongqiang regrets that he doesn't have a man's body..."

Qi Dongqiang was furious, "You..."

Everyone looked at each other, and after hearing these words, they secretly suppressed their laughter.

Shangguan Shu said calmly, "Don't worry, Captain Qi, you can't lose!"

That's right, she can't lose.

Both Zhao Ying herself and the general said that she has never touched an arrow since her marriage, which shows that the chance of her losing is almost zero!

Qi Dongqiang's anger had subsided a little, but just as it subsided, Zhao Ying unexpectedly raised the stakes again, "I'll add another one. If I win, you have to go to the Ma Mansion and apologize to Lord Ma's daughter until Lord Ma's family forgives you!"

Just hearing about this bet made Qi Dongqiang feel suffocated.

Apologize, apologize to that lowly dancer?

Qi Dongqiang frowned and was unwilling to agree. Shangguan Shu saw this and spoke again, "Captain Qi... you can't lose..."

"Yes! You are a captain who has fought on the battlefield. Are you afraid that your archery skills cannot compare to my mother, a princess who hasn't held an arrow for a long time?"

"Shangguan Chengjing" looked at Shangguan Qingwan in surprise, as if he didn't understand why she wanted to provoke Qi Dongqiang to provoke her own mother.

Before they could finish being surprised, Shangguan Bailin spoke again, "Are you going to compete or not? If not, you lose and you have to go and apologize to Sister Ma right away!"

When Qi Dongqiang heard this, his eyes widened like bells.

Shangguan Qiyou rolled his eyes, not really understanding why his brother and sister were like this. Perhaps they were trying to boost their mother's morale. If that was the case, he would also help his mother boost her morale. "You were so confident just now, why are you so timid now? I don't think women are inferior to men, it's you who are inferior to men, and you are not as good as a little woman!"

Qi Dongqiang took a breath and stared at Shangguan Qiyou as if he wanted to eat him.

Shangguan Qiyou snorted fearlessly. He was not afraid. His father and mother were there, as well as his brothers and sisters. They would protect him. He was no longer the wild child he used to be!

Qi Dongqiang was so angry at Shangguan Ersansi that her head was swollen. She thought to herself, let’s compete, Zhao Ying has no chance of winning... The stakes have been raised too much, especially the apology. Qi Dongqiang was very proud, so she couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, if Zhao Ying won a game by chance, then she...

Just as he was hesitating, Shangguan Qingyue, who had never spoken a word, stood up, patted her chest, and puffed up her little face, looking so cute that it was blood-dropping. As soon as she stood up, the eyes of everyone present softened.

The little guy said in a baby voice, "Mother, it's just a lieutenant, why bother you to do it yourself, let Yue'er do it!" The little guy patted his chest and said, "Yue'er can beat her!"

Several kids clapped crazily...

Shangguan Qingwan: "That's right! My three-year-old sister can beat you!"
