"Big brother, you go first!"

Lu Junze said with a smile.

"No, you guys go first, I'll go last."

Lu Junyao spoke modestly, as he was the eldest brother and had to give way to his younger siblings.

When Song Qingqian and the others arrived, they saw that everyone was making excuses, and then she muttered a few words to the maid beside her.

Soon Jinxiu walked over with a brocade box, smiling as she spoke:

"To be fair, everyone will draw lots and compete in order. The highest score is for shooting at the center of the target, and the scores decrease accordingly. Those over seven years old will shoot on horseback, while younger children will shoot standing up!"

"I, I come first!"

Lu Zhaoyang spoke excitedly, and after her two older brothers finished grabbing, she quickly went in and grabbed two more.

"Princess, each person can only choose one!"

Jinxiu respectfully reminded her.

Lu Zhaoyang smiled brightly and explained, "I know, this was chosen for Xuan Yuan Chenyu, and he will participate as well."

Jinxiu smiled gently and said nothing more.

Lu Zhaoyang walked up to Xuan Yuan Chenyu with the crumpled paper in his hand and said with a smile:

"Sitting alone is so boring, why don't you join in? You can choose one of these two."

"I?"

Xuan Yuan Chenyu felt a warmth in his heart, but still waved his hand and refused, saying, "I can't, I don't have the strength, I'm afraid I can't draw the bow."

"What are you afraid of? I'll help you!"

"Oh dear, don't be so indecisive. Even my mother hasn't said no, so don't be modest. Let's see the strength of the Prince of Dongling."

As he spoke, Lu Zhaoyang handed her one of the crumpled pieces of paper.

"I'm number eight, and you?"

"fifteen!"

Xuan Yuan Chenyu pursed his lips and spoke in a low voice. The girl leaned closer, bringing a sweet floral fragrance, which made him nervously tighten the crumpled paper in his hand.

"Second to last? My luck's not good. How about we switch?"

"No need, it's fine as it is!"

Xuanyuan Chenyu smiled sheepishly.

Lu Zhaoyang looked at him and smiled, excitedly saying, "That's right! You should smile more. Aren't you tired of being so serious every day?"

“You look pretty when you smile, and you even have a little dimple. You’re much prettier than my second brother.”

Lu Junze gave her a disgruntled look and reminded her, "Lu Zhaoyang, this is so boring!"

"Just kidding, Second Brother, don't be angry. Besides, you're not such a petty person!"

Lu Zhaoyang smiled ingratiatingly and went up to wrap his arms around Lu Junze's sleeve.

"Hmph! Don't do it again next time, understand? Otherwise I'll really get angry with you."

"I know, I know, hehe..."

Lu Chenxi curiously looked through everyone's numbers, and when she saw Lu Junyao's number, she exclaimed in shock:

"Big brother, are you the last one?"

Lu Junyao nodded and said, "Yes, I'll finish things up for everyone!"

"No, this isn't the ending, this is the grand finale!"

Lu Zhaoyang smiled confidently and said, "Chenxi, you don't understand. The strongest are often the last to appear, and who here can match Big Brother's horse archery skills?"

"Yes, Big Brother is indeed very capable!"

Lu Chenxi nodded in agreement.

Wow, Xun-gege is amazing! He hit the bullseye!

Wu Zhirou shouted with joy, and a burst of excitement erupted among the children.

Song Qingqian whispered to Lu Xieyue with a smile, "Xun'er's riding and archery skills have improved quite a bit recently, living up to his family's reputation as a military family!"

"Sigh, that's all I'm good at; my homework is just awful!"

Lu Xieyue smiled modestly, then said, "Look, it's Yi'er's turn. Third Sister-in-law, do you think Yi'er's health is up to par?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Your third brother sometimes lets him try it out."

Song Qingqian said it wasn't a big problem, but her heart was still clenched tightly.

At this moment, Lu Junyi's small figure stood there, took the ebony bow handed to him by the servant, and struggled to draw the bow. Everyone held their breath and looked at him nervously.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, the arrow shot out. Although it missed slightly, it still hit the target.

"Yi'er, you're amazing!"

Lu Zhaoyang happily hugged him and wiped the sweat from his head with a silk handkerchief.

Lu Junyi nodded happily.

"Wow, Second Brother hit the bullseye!"

"Chenxi, hurry, it's your turn!"

"Lu Chenxi, seven points!"

Seeing that his younger sister was a little unhappy, Lu Zhaoyang quickly lowered his voice and whispered to comfort her:

"Seven points is also very good. Yelü Ran only got six points. You are better than her. Besides, you and Zhirou got the same score. There's nothing shameful about it."

“But I’m older than Zhirou.”

Lu Chenxi muttered angrily.

"It's okay, you're better at studying than her, and besides, your older sister will win it back for you in a little while."

"Really?"

Lu Zhaoyang said confidently, "Don't worry!"

"Qi Zihao, six points!"

Song Qingqian and the others laughed and said, "Zihao is the youngest of these children. It's already impressive that he can draw a bow, let alone hit the target!"

Lu Xieyue nodded and said, "Descendants of military families, they touch these things from birth, so naturally they can't be bad at it."

"Li Dongheng, eight points!"

"Dong'er is doing well, Second Sister-in-law, you've done a good job raising him."

After Lu Xieyue finished speaking with a smile, Xuan Yuanxue also smiled and whispered:

“Your second brother is very strict. He said he suffered from not exercising back then, so now he wants to start with the children.”

"My second brother was really a little tyrant in the manor back then, there's no way to describe it!"

After Lu Xieyue finished speaking, she turned to Jiang Wanwan on the side and said, "Qinxin is amazing, she's starting to increase the difficulty."

Fifty meters away, a ring had fallen.

Qi Qinxin rode her horse, drew her bow and shot an arrow in one smooth motion. With a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the ring and hit the bullseye.

"Sister is amazing!"

Qi Zihao clapped his hands and shouted happily.

Qi Qin smiled smugly, raised an eyebrow at Lu Junyao, and winked at him.

Lu Junyao curled his lips in approval!

"Yelü Ce, eight points!"

"Ce'er, were you nervous just now? I saw you blink."

Lu Junze patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's nothing to make a small mistake. Don't take it to heart. Try harder next time."

"Yes, thank you, Second Brother."

Yelü Ce turned around and glanced at Lu Lanyue, then lowered his head apologetically.

At this moment, Lu Lanyue looked unwell. She felt extremely embarrassed sitting with the others.

Xuan Yuanxue patted her hand to comfort her, "Lan Yue, it's all just for fun, don't take it to heart. Besides, I think Ce'er did quite well too."

"Ok!"

Lu Lanyue nodded without saying anything.

Xuan Yuanxue felt somewhat helpless and didn't say anything more. Over the past few years, she couldn't understand why Lu Lanyue always seemed to be competing with Jiang Wanwan, whether openly or secretly. The other woman didn't seem to care at all, but Lu Lanyue was still holding a grudge.

Song Qingqian glanced at Lu Lanyue with a dark look in her eyes. Sometimes, being too obsessed can really be a form of unreasonable entanglement.

"Lu Zhaoyang, ten out of ten!"

Wow, you're amazing, sister!

Lu Chenxi excitedly stepped forward and hugged Lu Zhaoyang.

Xuanyuan Chenyu walked through the crowd and landed on Lu Zhaoyang. The afternoon light shone on her, as if gilding her with a golden edge, making her extremely dazzling.
