Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Zheng Yuxiang gave Zheng Luoqi a look, and Zheng Luoqi immediately understood and went to the makeshift archery target.

Someone asked curiously:

"Is Lord Zheng planning to demonstrate his archery skills?"

"Will he?"

"What a joke! Although Zheng Luoqi is a bit of a playboy, he is proficient in all six arts of a gentleman. He is Zheng Yuxiang's son. With a father like that, how could his son be bad?"

Zheng Luoqi walked over, casually picked one out, pulled it around, and felt that it felt good in the hand, so she took the bow and arrow and went up.

All eyes were on Zheng Luoqi.

Zheng Luoqi casually stood in front of the target and gestured to his subordinates to bring a piece of cloth. Zheng Luoqi then covered his eyes with a black cloth, raised his bow and arrow, and aimed at the target.

"Is Lord Zheng going to demonstrate blindfolded archery?"

"Hmph, all you do is pretend."

Zheng Luoqi drew back the bow, and the arrow flew straight out, hitting the bullseye.

"Hiss~" Everyone gasped and gasped in surprise.

"To hit the bullseye from fifty paces away, even blindfolded, is truly remarkable. The younger generation is indeed formidable!"

Having just fired an arrow, and before even removing her blindfold, Zheng Luoqi drew another arrow and fired again.

With a "snap," the arrow that Zheng Luoqi had just shot and hit the bullseye was split in two by the arrow shot by Zheng Luoqi from behind, and stuck straight into the bullseye.

After a moment of silence, everyone clapped and made friends.

"Lord Zheng has excellent archery skills."

"Lord Zheng's archery skills are probably unmatched in the world."

Zheng Luoqi deftly removed his blindfold, his gaze sweeping over the women's area. He smiled gently. Zheng Luoqi was already exceptionally handsome, and many noble ladies were already captivated by his appearance. This was not only because Zheng Luoqi was good-looking and had superb archery skills, but also because he was the son of the current prime minister and the Censor-in-Chief himself. His power, status, appearance, and talent were all top-notch, so how could they not admire him? His dashing and heroic appearance instantly made the hearts of the noble ladies flutter.

After Zheng Luoqi finished her performance, she returned to her seat and continued drinking tea.

Zheng Yuxiang was satisfied with the result, but he still wanted to save face for the emperor and other officials, so he stood up and said, "My son has made a fool of himself before you all."

Zheng Yuxiang said he had made a fool of himself, but there was no humility in his tone, as if he was not surprised by everyone's reaction at all.

"Prime Minister, you jest. In my opinion, Young Master Zheng is truly an outstanding individual. His archery skills are superb! Tsk tsk tsk~ This makes those behind him feel embarrassed to show off their skills if they don't have the same level. What are we going to do?" Wen Yihong said sarcastically from the side.

"Grand Commandant Wen, you flatter me. It's all my son's fault. He's young and impetuous, and he doesn't know his own strength when he strikes. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back. Next time, we must leave some room for others to act," Zheng Yuxiang retorted sarcastically.

After watching Zheng Luoqi's performance, Zheng Yuxiang left immediately, saying he had too much official business to attend to. The banquet had only just begun, and Zheng Yuxiang was already leaving. This arrogant behavior was typical of Zheng Yuxiang, but no one dared to stop him.

Even though the emperor was dissatisfied, he dared not show it to the emperor's face. He simply gave the prime minister a few words of advice, saying that the prime minister had worked hard and that the prime minister should take good care of his health.

The emperor then excused himself, saying he was unwell, and took his leave, instructing everyone to continue the music and dancing.

Zheng Luoqi was left alone on the table. Completely unconcerned by the probing gazes of others, she leisurely enjoyed her meal. Her movements were elegant and composed as she watched the noble ladies and gentlemen perform their talents.

With someone as beautiful as Zheng Luoqi ahead of them, those behind them pale in comparison.

Boyu is back. He hadn't been seen with Zheng Luoqi at the banquet. But then he whispered something in her ear, and Zheng Luoqi raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly.

Then a eunuch came running up in a hurry, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened to the Empress Dowager!"

"What kind of behavior is this, all this noise and commotion? What requires such a commotion? Can't you see there's still a banquet being held here?" A hint of barely perceptible anger flashed across the Empress Dowager's brow.

"Miss Wen has fallen into the water!" the eunuch cried anxiously, kneeling on the ground.

"What? What are you standing there for? Has she been rescued? What exactly happened? How could Yanxi have fallen into the water?" The Empress Dowager shouted upon hearing the report.

"Your Majesty, yes, it was Miss Wen, Miss Lin, and Miss Chen who had a conflict, and then somehow they fell into the water," the eunuch said timidly, trembling.

"If you can't even keep an eye on the master, what use are you? Hurry up and lead the way!" The Empress Dowager had already lost her composure.

She then stood up, with the eunuch leading the way, followed by the Empress Dowager and a group of officials.

"Let's go watch a show!" Zheng Luoqi said softly, a slight smile playing on his lips. He slowly rose to his feet, gently waving a folding fan in his hand. The fan, adorned with exquisite patterns, swayed slightly with his movements, further highlighting his dashing and debonair demeanor.

The group of noble ladies following behind him were captivated by his charm, glancing at him from time to time with admiration and affection in their eyes.

"Master, your charm hasn't diminished at all!" Boyu suddenly whispered to Zheng Luoqi.

"You've got some nerve, daring to tease your master like this. Want to be punished, huh?" Zheng Luoqi said with a forced smile.

Boyu quickly lowered his head and said, "I wouldn't dare."

Zheng Luoqi chuckled and tapped Boyu's head with her fan: "Alright, this is nothing. How's the matter I asked you to handle?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is arranged."

"Whether we can see a good show today depends on you," Zheng Luoqi said with a slight smile.

After walking for a while, the group arrived at the pavilion where the incident had occurred, but they did not see Wen Yanxi.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" Chen Xianlin and Lin Wanwan, along with other noble ladies, quickly bowed upon seeing the Empress Dowager's arrival.

"Rise, where is Yanxi?" The Empress Dowager asked, scrutinizing the noble ladies.

"Your Majesty, Miss Yanxi was rescued after falling into the water and has already changed her clothes. She should be here soon," Lin Wanwan replied, her tone a little flustered and frightened.

Lin Wanwan didn't know what was wrong with her today; she kept having bad luck, and just now, without even knowing what had happened, someone suddenly fell into the water.

"Oh, who are you?" the Empress Dowager asked, puzzled, upon hearing Lin Wanwan's reply.

"Your Majesty, I am Lin Wanwan, daughter of the Imperial Clan Court Official."

"Tell me what happened just now, and why Yanxi suddenly fell into the water," the Empress Dowager said with a hint of anger, her gaze sweeping over Lin Wanwan kneeling before her.

"Your Majesty, I originally felt that the banquet was a bit stuffy and wanted to get some fresh air, so I asked the second young lady of the Chen family to come out with me. When we passed the pavilion, we heard people arguing, so we followed the sound and came over. When we got there, we saw that the eldest young lady of the Chen family and Miss Wen were arguing about something!"

"Then Miss Chen and I thought we'd come over and try to persuade her, but somehow, Miss Wen accidentally fell into the water!"

"How dare you! Are you implying that Yanxi jumped into the water on her own and then slandered you?" The Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the table with a loud "bang," her eyes flashing with anger as she stared at Lin Wanwan.
