Now he was even trying to cause trouble at the banquet. When it came to archery, who could compare to the barbarians? Wasn't he clearly trying to humiliate the noble ladies of the Sheng Dynasty?

But his tone was so humble that she couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, given her status, she would bring a stigma of impoliteness to Sheng Dynasty.

Lin Yiwan, however, remained calm and said, "Prince Rui, although most of the noble ladies of our Sheng Dynasty know some archery skills, they are only dabbling in it. How can they compare to you barbarian girls who have been learning archery since childhood on horseback?"

Her metaphor was actually very clear, that is, you barbarians are using your strengths to provoke others' weaknesses, which is an unfair victory.

Cheng Rui didn't expect to be confronted right away, and he was so angry that his brows were furrowed.

Cheng Feifei immediately said something polite: "Madam, you misunderstood my father's intention. He just wanted to make the banquet more lively. The archery competition should stop when it's over, regardless of winning or losing!"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled, "That being said, in every competition, there has to be a winner and a loser. Besides, a match between the Barbarians and the Sheng Dynasty would only spark more discussion. It wouldn't look good on either side of the fence!"

Cheng Rui couldn't help but sneer: "After all, the Marquis' wife still doesn't dare to compete? How afraid are you of my daughter that you don't even dare to accept the challenge?"

Cheng Feifei's face suddenly became a little uneasy. She reminded anxiously: "Father, don't say that. Since the Marquis's wife refuses to agree, then forget it. We are here to attend the banquet. Don't upset the host family!"

I have to say, this sentence is very interesting.

She was secretly telling everyone that Lin Yiwan was as timid as a mouse and didn't dare to accept the challenge!

Lin Yiwan was not stupid, so how could she not hear the sarcasm and contempt in her humble words.

She didn't want the stigma of the noble ladies of Shengjing City being weak to spread at her banquet, as that would make other countries look down on her.

She couldn't bring shame to A Yan who was on the battlefield. She wanted to make King Rui of Manyi regret making this suggestion, and she wanted to make them and their daughter lose face.

She was silent for a moment and then said calmly, "It's not that I don't want to agree, I'm just taking care of Miss Cheng's face. I'm afraid you'll cry if you lose the game!"

After hearing what she said, Cheng Feifei was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Will she lose?

Are you kidding me?

Her archery skills are the best among the barbarians!

Even her cousin Cheng Zhenzhen can't compare to her!

Before she could say anything, Sheng Tianxue, the maidservant beside the Princess of Southern Xinjiang, spoke up: "Madam Hou, you're bragging a bit! You haven't even competed yet, so how do you know you can beat Miss Cheng? Or are you just trying to be brave?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Nanjiang's expression changed drastically.

She said anxiously: "Xue'er, who told you to talk so much?"

Sheng Tianxue frowned and said, "Your Highness, I cannot bear to see Miss Cheng being bullied so openly. It's clearly the Marquis' wife who dares not to fight, yet she has to make up such a high-sounding excuse!"

Sheng Tianzhu scolded: "Shut up, do you have the right to speak here?"

Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Your Highness, I think your maid is right. To avoid giving others a chance to criticize me, I have decided to accept the challenge. However, simply shooting at a target is meaningless. We must compete by shooting at living creatures!"

Cheng Feifei was shocked, shooting living things was her strong point.

She never expected that the idiot Lin Yiwan would actually give her a ladder. This is great.

She will definitely be the winner, and all of these so-called noble ladies in Shengjing City will be trampled under her feet.

She immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll shoot anything alive, as long as the Marquis is willing to fight!"

Sheng Tianxue felt a little worried for no reason. She felt that the look in Lin Yiwan's eyes just now was very scary.

What is she planning?

What living creatures did she mean?

Just as her thoughts were swirling, Lin Yiwan spoke up, "Everyone, bear witness! Today, we're going to try something new. I'm going to have someone build a turntable, put the fearless Sheng Tianxue on it, and spin it vigorously. Whoever shoots the ball into her hair will be the winner!"

After the words fell, everyone was in an uproar.

This is a real shot at a living person!

It’s quite exciting!

Simply unheard of!

Even Cheng Feifei was very shocked. She had never seen such a competition method of shooting living people.

It’s quite interesting!

At this time, Sheng Tianxue was scared to death. She never expected that she would be put on the turntable.

If she had known that Lin Yiwan was such a mean person, she would never have said anything more.

Now, she was being roasted on the fire.

She said anxiously, "No, Madam Hou can't use me as a target. My wrist is injured. How can I put it on the turntable?"

Lin Yiwan asked in surprise, "Ms. Sheng, do you lack confidence in Ms. Cheng's archery skills? Weren't you just speaking up for her?"

Sheng Tianxue's face was pale and ugly. The reason she helped Cheng Feifei was to embarrass Lin Yiwan.

Who would have thought that she would make herself a sitting duck.

If she really misses the target, she will lose her life.

She said anxiously, "I'm just showing off my eloquence. Why bother arguing with me, Madam? I'm too weak to spin on the turntable. Let's find someone else!"

Lin Yiwan turned a deaf ear and ordered someone to lift a large turntable and secure Sheng Tianxue on it.

She cried out in fear: "Your Highness, please save me, Your Highness, I was wrong, I will never dare to say anything more!"

Sheng Tianzhu didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, because she remembered that Lin Yiwan had reminded her that it would happen once, twice, and not three times.

Sheng Tianxue would be punished for talking too much in public.

Otherwise, she will never know how to repent!

She turned her face away and didn't say a word even though Sheng Tianxue screamed her throat out.

The turntable was quite sturdy. After Sheng Tianxue was placed on it, it didn't move at all.

Lin Yiwan ordered the guards to stand up the turntable, and the tied Sheng Tianxue stood upside down in front of everyone.

She could no longer cry out because she was too scared.

She felt that Lin Yiwan was the devil, and no one was more cruel than her.

At this time, Lin Yiwan had ordered someone to bring a bow and arrow. She looked at Cheng Feifei and said, "Miss Cheng, let's fight at a distance of 100 meters. Whoever shoots Sheng Tianxue's hair will win. What do you think?"

Cheng Feifei subconsciously looked in the direction of King Li, only to see him standing under the eaves with Lin Su. It was hard to tell what he was thinking in his deep eyes.

She thought to herself, "Prince Li, soon it will be me standing next to you. As for that bitch, I will trample her hard under my feet!"

Thinking of this, she raised her chin confidently: "Great! If I win, Madam Hou will have to toast me a few more glasses of wine!"

Lin Yiwan smiled and said, "Of course!"

The turntable started spinning quickly, and Sheng Tianxue's screams almost pierced everyone's eardrums.
