Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

The tiger was enormous, and an arrow pierced its head, indicating it had been killed instantly.

Gao Yan, riding on his horse, did not show any particular arrogance after successfully hunting down the tiger. Instead, he remained calm and natural, as if hunting a tiger was nothing to be surprised about.

In contrast, Gao Yun, who returned with him, was somewhat silent. If you looked closely, you could easily see a hint of defeat and dejection in his expression.

After the two groups of people returned, they immediately dismounted and bowed to the emperor, who was seated at the head of the table, saying, "Father."

The emperor glanced at his two sons, then at the tiger that had been shot, before praising, "Good!"

"Fifth brother, you were really good. You actually managed to hunt down this tiger."

Regardless of whether the tiger was hunted by Gao Yan or Gao Yun, it was the emperor's son, not someone else, so the emperor was still very happy.

The imperial relatives and officials present also expressed their admiration:

"The Fifth Prince's archery skills are indeed extraordinary."

"They actually managed to hunt such a big tiger!"

"That's right, a single arrow was enough to kill him. His archery skills are truly superb..."

Faced with the praise from the emperor and these people, Gao Yan calmly replied, "My archery skills were taught by Father, so hunting a tiger is naturally no problem for me."

In fact, Gao Yan was not the only prince the emperor taught archery; Gao Yun was also taught by the emperor.

However, Gao Yun was better at literature, while Gao Yan was better at martial arts; Gao Yan simply had a higher talent for archery.

The emperor was overjoyed upon hearing Gao Yan's words, and even changed how he addressed Gao Yan: "Since Yan'er has hunted this fierce tiger, then this bow and arrow and the other prizes are all yours."

As he spoke, the emperor looked at Qi Ning beside him and teased, "My beloved concubine, you've made the wrong bet."

Qi Ning gave a light snort and said reproachfully, "I made the wrong bet. I'll accept the loss, but..."

She hesitated, her words revealing a hint of resentment.

"But what?" the emperor asked curiously.

Qi Ning pointed to the prey behind Gao Yan and Gao Yun: "Your Majesty, you see, although the Fifth Prince is indeed brave and hunted that tiger, the Fourth Prince is not bad either. He hunted a lot of prey, including wild boar and deer, which are not easy to hunt."

"And then there are wild rabbits. I really enjoy eating rabbit meat. In my humble opinion, tigers are fierce and difficult to hunt, but they are large and relatively easy to shoot. Wild rabbits are small and agile, making them difficult to shoot and equally hard to hunt."

"It is evident that the Fourth Prince's archery skills are also quite good, showing the same demeanor as His Majesty."

Those present felt that Qi Ning was being unreasonable and trying to save face for the defeated Fourth Prince.

The Fifth Prince hunted fewer prey because he devoted most of his energy to hunting tigers, so he naturally hunted fewer other animals.

As for the claim that rabbits are harder to hunt than tigers, that's utter nonsense.

Although tigers are large in size, they are also terrifying in appearance, and most people dare not approach them.

Even if you get close, finding the tiger's weak point and killing it with a single blow is extremely difficult. If the arrow misses, the tiger will attack wildly out of pain, and you may not be able to save your life.

Anyone with eyes can see that Gao Yan is definitely a cut above the rest in terms of archery skills.

Even Gao Yun himself thinks so.

He stood beside Gao Yan, his expression quite unpleasant.
