"It's not over yet. Don't even think about eating dumplings for a month." Mu Yingbao muttered to the man on the horse as he rode away.

The more Xue Wenyu acted like this, the more Mu Yingbao felt that the reason he hit the Marquis's wife that day was because he had long disliked her and had wanted to take action against her.

The reason why he was so angry with me was because I asked him that question and exposed his true feelings, making him feel embarrassed.

Mu Yingbao thinks that there is nothing wrong with this. It’s okay for you to admit that you did it that way. What’s wrong with making an excuse for yourself? No one will care.

In the Wenhua Hall of the palace, the time had come, but no one had arrived, including Zhou Shuhuan.

Just when some people were whispering about what was going on, the clan leader spoke up and said that Zhou Shuhuan had abstained due to health reasons.

When they heard this, everyone looked towards Brother Hui, Xue Wenyu and the others.

It's amazing! Both rounds of the competition were written tests, but he defeated a strong opponent.

No, how can someone who was defeated in just two games be considered strong?

The clan leader announced the content of today's competition, which turned out to be an archery competition.

Everyone was surprised. They didn't even compete in poetry or statecraft, but directly started with a martial arts test?

Is this clan leader too old and confused? This is not about selecting a vanguard officer to fight in the battlefield, but about selecting a king of a country.

The king only needs to govern the country wisely. If there is a war in the country or on the border, there are soldiers to fight, and there is no need for the emperor to lead the army in person.

Even though they thought so, no one spoke up to refute it.

Waiting to hear the rules of the competition, planning to make a decision after listening.

For the royal children, archery is one of the six arts that must be learned. Not being able to shoot is a sign of disrespect and lack of talent.

The rule of today's archery is that the new candidate does not have to take the field, and one of his own people can take the field instead.

But if I hit an arrow, it's just one arrow.

The substitute comes on the field and needs to hit the target with five arrows to counter one arrow.

After the announcement, the contestants are asked to discuss with their relatives and friends to decide who will compete.

After hearing the content of the competition, Brother Hui's mouth twitched. His father was comforting him last night. He had already won two games in a row, so it didn't matter even if he came in last today.

But I didn't expect that he would pick the project he had practiced so hard!

Seeing that everyone around him had gone outside the hall to discuss things with their relatives and friends, Brother Hui also stood up and walked towards his own people.

"Don't be so sad. Didn't I tell you that we can find someone to replace you? Look, among the three of us, two can replace you. Tell me, who do you want to replace you?" Shang Xiaohu said excitedly.

Fan Puchang originally wanted to remind them and find a place outside the hall to discuss it properly, but when he looked inside the hall, even the ministers were there, and the candidates and their relatives and friends had all gone outside the hall. This half of the Wenhua Hall was empty, so they could just discuss it in a low voice, and there was no need to go out. "I'm not competing with you, I think it's more appropriate for me to go up." Xue Wenyu said.

"That won't work. Why? I'm no worse than you in archery." Shang Xiaohu said unhappily.

Fan Puchang is a scholar, and he cannot replace Brother Hui. Seeing the two men vying to replace Brother Jiao, he doesn't know who to speak for.

I heard that both of them are good at archery, but I don't know which one is better.

So, just keep quiet.

Seeing that neither of them was willing to give in, Brother Hui was very worried. He was not worried about who should take his place, but he was worried that he would make his father suffer the feeling of being deceived again.

Perhaps, as my mother said, my father has become accustomed to it and the process of acceptance has gradually become shorter.

"Ahem, um, father, General Shang, can you listen to me for a few words?" Brother Hui saw that some people had decided to return to the palace, so he hurriedly opened the door.

p;"Tell me, who do you choose between the two of us?" Lord Fu looked at him and said in unison.

Fan Puchang also looked at Brother Hui. He guessed that if his grandson were to choose, he would probably choose Prince Xue.

After all, Prince Xue seems to be much calmer.

Moreover, the grandson has been with Master Xue for so many years, so he must be familiar with his father's archery skills.

"I want to play myself." Brother Hui said with gritted teeth facing the gazes of the three people.

"What?" Now all three of them said in unison.

"Junjie, although you have won two games, it's no big deal to come last this time. But since we have the opportunity to win again, why not continue? The more times you win, the better it will be for you, right?" Fan Puchang hurriedly advised his grandson.

"Yeah, you're not the only one looking for a substitute. Wait a minute, you'll see that most of them have found substitutes to play." Shang Xiaohu also hurriedly advised.

Only Xue Wenyu remained silent, staring into Brother Hui's eyes.

Shang Xiaohu and Fan Pu often saw Xue Wenyu like this, and thought that he was too doting on his child and wanted to let him do whatever he wanted.

"You can do this too?" Xue Wenyu saw that the child was not avoiding or evading his gaze, and suddenly realized a possibility and asked.

Brother Hui nodded. "Father, I'm not kidding. I'm serious. I can't guarantee whether I can do it or not, but I'm a contestant, so I should complete all the tests by myself, right?"

Xue Wenyu didn't say anything, but reached out and grabbed Hui Ge's hands, touching his palms, but he didn't feel a single callus.

"Father, can't you trust your child like mother does?" Brother Hui frowned when he saw his father touched his hand, and he knew what his father was thinking.

Ever since he started practicing archery secretly, his mother sewed small animal skin gloves for him, so there were no calluses on his palms.

"Okay, you go on stage." Xue Wenyu looked at the child's determined eyes and agreed. "You are just fooling around. You let him do everything. We don't know what we will be tested on.

Wouldn't it be stupid if we don't hurry up and try to win in the projects where we can win?" Shang Xiaohu complained to Xue Wenyu.

Grandfather also praised this prince for being calm, but that's not entirely true! Fan Puchang also felt that Shang Xiaohu's words made sense this time, and nodded. "Brother Hui is right, this is a test of his ability, and it's not shameful for him to lose on his own.

Let him play. Besides, maybe he will be the winner. "Xue Wenyu insisted on his decision and agreed to let Brother Hui play.

"Father." Brother Hui felt very guilty when he saw his father like this.

"No need to say more, just be well." Xue Wenyu understood after hearing the child's call and seeing the look in his eyes.

Brother Hui brought him surprises one after another. He has now completely figured it out. Why should he dwell on such a trivial matter? He just wants his child to be well!

Seeing how insistent the father and son were, Shang Xiaohu and Fan Puchang had no choice but to agree. In fact, even if they disagreed, it would be useless. Brother Hui wanted to go, and no one could strongly oppose it, because opposition would be useless!
