Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Chapter 14 Heroines of the Song Dynasty (2)

Dong Yue'e glanced at Yang Yan'an and continued, "Third Sister hopes that in the future, when Third Brother talks about his marriage, he can have no regrets."

“Therefore, Third Sister is unwilling.” Dong Yue’e bowed deeply to Zhao Kuangyi and said, “If Your Majesty wishes to bestow a marriage upon me and Third Brother, Third Sister humbly requests that Your Majesty grant the marriage only after Third Brother has surpassed me.”

Before Zhao Kuangyi could say anything, Yang Yan'an took a few steps forward to Dong Yue'e, turned to face Zhao Kuangyi, and knelt down as well: "Yang Sanlang begs Your Majesty to rescind your order."

[Ding~ Male lead Yang Yan'an's favorability +20, current favorability 80.]

"Yang Sanlang, have you thought this through?" Zhao Kuangyi was not surprised by Yang Yan'an's actions.

People say that Yang Sanlang is reckless, but Zhao Kuangyi also knows that although Yang Sanlang is reckless, he is also the one who values ​​loyalty the most.

“Your Majesty, Sanlang has thought it through very clearly.” Yang Yan’an looked up at Zhao Kuangyi and said firmly, “Sanlang and Sanniang have made a prior agreement. If Sanlang cannot defeat Sanniang, he will have no face to accept Your Majesty’s kindness.”

“But Yang Sanlang, didn’t you lose before?” Zhao Kuangyi said with some disapproval. “If you can’t beat Dong Sanniang in your entire life, does that mean your marriage will be delayed for the rest of your lives?”

Seeing that the two men remained kneeling and motionless, Zhao Kuangyi came to understand the man's stubborn nature.

Zhao Kuangyi glanced at the two kneeling figures before him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you two accept my bestowed marriage and choose a date to get married?"

Seeing that Yang Yan'an was about to say something, Zhao Kuangyi quickly added, "It's not impossible to continue the competition after marriage. Life is long, and I believe that you, Sanlang, will definitely surpass Sanniang. But if we waste time and precious moments on this..."

"Since Your Majesty believes that Sanlang will surely be able to defeat Sanniang, then please come again on that day to bestow a marriage upon the two of us." Yang Yan'an turned his head and glanced at Dong Yue'e beside him.

“Life is long, and it would be truly laughable to waste time on this matter. From now on, Sanlang will practice archery diligently every day, hoping to surpass Sanniang as soon as possible. However…” Yang Yan’an looked deeply at Dong Yue’e, then turned firmly to Zhao Kuangyi and said, “Sanlang cares deeply for Sanniang, but does not want Sanniang to waste her time for him. If Sanlang is still unable to surpass Sanniang by the time Sanniang comes of age… Sanlang humbly requests Your Majesty to bestow a marriage upon Sanniang at that time and find her a suitable husband.”

“Yang Sanlang…” Dong Yue’e turned to look at Yang Yan’an, about to say something, but after meeting Yang Yan’an’s gaze, she lowered her head and said nothing.

"If that's really the case, Sanlang, if you don't surpass Sanniang within two years, Sanniang will have to marry someone else." Zhao Kuangyi sighed softly and said, "Even so, will you not regret it?"

"Sanlang, we will not let such a thing happen." Yang Yan'an looked intently at Dong Yue'e, then clasped his hands in a fist and said to Zhao Kuangyi, "Please grant my request, Your Majesty."

"Excellent! You are indeed worthy generals who guard the land of my Great Song! I grant your request!"

Zhao Kuangyi stood up, raised his hands to help Yang Yan'an and Dong Yue'e up, and said earnestly, "In the next two years, if you want to compete, come to the training ground of my Great Song Dynasty to decide who is the best! Let me and all the soldiers of the training ground be your witnesses."

Zhao Kuangyi patted Yang Yan'an on the shoulder and continued earnestly, "Dong Zhenhong's archery skills are indeed world-renowned and not to be underestimated, but Dong Sanniang is, after all, just a woman, and she is still young and less experienced than you. I believe that given time, you will definitely surpass her."

"I hope to see this day soon, and I also hope that you can win the heart of your beauty soon," Zhao Kuangyi said, winking at Yang Yan'an.

"Your Majesty, Third Sister is very capable," Yang Yan'an said with utmost seriousness.

Zhao Kuangyi glared at Yang Yan'an, both amused and exasperated, and said, "You silly boy, Dong Sanniang hasn't even entered your Yang family yet! And you're already protecting her like this..."

"My mother said that a real man should cherish his wife," Yang Yan'an said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyi coughed lightly, adopted the demeanor of an emperor, and said in a deep voice, "You silly boy, things aren't even close to happening yet! I haven't even bestowed a marriage upon you two, and you're already going against me like this. Aren't you afraid I'll play matchmaker for you?"

"Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler, you would never do such a thing!" Yang Yan'an still smiled foolishly and flattered Zhao Kuangyi.

Dong Yue'e chuckled and muttered softly, "Silly boy."

Dong Yue'e never expected that after the competition was officially certified, the person most concerned about this matter was not Yang Yan'an and Dong Yue'e, nor the two mothers, She Saihua and Dong's mother, but the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyi.

This was already the umpteenth time that Dong Yue'e and Yang Yan'an had been summoned to the training ground by Zhao Kuangyi for a competition.

In other cases, the emperor isn't worried while the eunuchs are, but in Dong Yue'e's case, it's different. She's not worried, but the emperor is.

"Dong San Niang wins the fourth match!" The silver-armored young general waved his military flag left and right and shouted loudly, "Prepare for the fifth match!"

Dong Yue'e raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and let out a soft breath.

To be honest, it was really not easy to beat Yang Yan'an in this match.

The score is tied at 2-2, with only one game left.

The final round was a contest of archery skills – the Well-shaped Ritual.

The so-called "well instrument" means that four arrows are fired in succession and all hit the target.

The first four competitions were horse archery, foot archery, tube archery, and double-shot archery. The first three events tested actual ability and accuracy, while the fourth and fifth events focused more on technique.

As a soldier, Yang Yan'an naturally had an absolute advantage over Dong Yue'e in horsemanship. Therefore, in the archery contest, Dong Yue'e suffered a truly crushing defeat.

Dong Yue'e had never tried shooting with a tube before, so she didn't grasp the power at first. Although she eventually mastered the technique, she still couldn't catch up with Yang Yan'an.

Infantry and infantry, as well as company and battalion commanders, only narrowly defeated Yang Yan'an. It must be said that in less than a year, Yang Yan'an has made rapid progress compared to before.

Dong Yue'e carefully arranged the arrows in her hands, neatly stacking them. She reached out with her right hand, pulled the quiver tied to her waist, and put the arrows into it. Then she adjusted the position of the quiver with both hands, reached behind her with her right hand to check the feel, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Third Sister, have some water." Yang Yan'an walked over with a bowl of cool boiled water and handed it to Dong Yue'e.

Dong Yue'e didn't bother with any formalities with Yang Yan'an and directly took the teacup and gulped it down.

Today's competition was incredibly strenuous; Dong Yue'e was drenched in sweat after just one round of horse archery.

Before Dong Yue'e could catch her breath, Zhao Kuangyi immediately ordered preparations for the remaining three matches.

The physical gap between men and women is something that even a strong woman like Dong Yue'e cannot overcome.

After four games, Yang Yan'an was also a little out of breath, but he was not as disheveled as Dong Yue'e.

Dong Yue'e really felt like she was exhausted, like a dead dog!

Dong Yue'e realized that Zhao Kuangyi was rushing around so much that he wanted to exhaust himself so that Yang Yan'an could win!

Damn it! This is so unfair! Your Majesty, please show some mercy to the ladies!

Dong Yue'e even had the illusion that Yang Ye was not Yang Yan'an's biological father, but His Majesty the Emperor was!

This gives off the feeling of someone secretly plotting against their son because they're afraid he won't be able to find a wife!

Dong Yue'e vowed that if Zhao Kuangyi didn't let her rest after the training competition, she would definitely faint on the training ground! She would just consider the rest of the competitions as her illness and give up, whatever, she couldn't take it anymore!
