Chapter 102: One Arrow Determines the Winner (1)

Mo Jingqi's expression moved, stared at Ye Li for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Okay, I'm sure."

Ye Li bowed respectfully, "Ye Li, thank you for your fulfillment." Then he turned around and looked at Princess Lingyun and smiled, "Princess, please."

"Hmph!" Princess Lingyun turned around and headed out of the hall first. Ye Li smiled calmly and gently, and walked up.

Lei Tengfeng, who was following behind, looked at the straight and firm back of the woman in front of him, and somehow he felt a little bad premonition.

The open space in the Imperial Garden was filled with bustling people, and even in the distance there were many idle palace maids and eunuchs peeking at the rare excitement in the palace. Mo Jingqi and the Queen took the palace concubines and the ministers and noble ladies who came to attend the palace banquet to testify for Princess Ding and Princess Lingyun. There was unprecedented crowds in the Imperial Garden, and there were too many people. The emperor and Empress concubines and several royal powerful men with prominent status. Others could only stand and watch. But obviously they didn't care about such trivial matters. Everyone stared at the two people in the open space with great enthusiasm. Princess Ding did not ask for a target, so how should they compete?

Concubine Liu sat next to the emperor with a cold face, but her cold gaze faintly swept over Ye Li with a little more inquiry. Mo Jingqi looked down at the expression of her beloved concubine and chuckled softly, "What are the beloved concubines looking at? It seems that the beloved concubine likes Princess Ding very much?" Concubine Liu frowned and said coldly, "The emperor is joking, I am just a little curious." Mo Jingqi smiled meaningfully, "There are not many people who can make the beloved concubine feel curious. But in my opinion, Princess Ding is afraid that she has no chance of winning." Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows, still looking cold and frosty. A trace of heat and gloom flashed in Mo Jingqi's eyes, and she continued, "Princess Lingyun is the beloved daughter of the Emperor Xiling, and she has been both civil and military since she was a child. In Xiling, her archery skills are more famous than her swordsmanship."

"What is the benefit of her losing to the emperor?" Concubine Liu said lightly.

Mo Jingqi smiled but said nothing, and turned his gaze to Mo Xiuyao who was sitting quietly not far away, his eyes darkened.

"Prince..." Beside Mo Xiuyao, Qingshuang looked anxiously at Ye Li, who was preparing for the most in the field. After so many years of his wife, how could Qingshuang not know that her wife had never learned archery much. At most, she just played with the third master when she went to the Xu family. How could she compare to the archery technique that Princess Lingyun practiced since childhood?

Mo Xiuyao said lightly: "Don't be impatient for a moment."

Lei Tengfeng sat next to Mo Xiuyao and frowned. Could it be that Princess Ding really has a killer move? But no matter whether it is losing or winning, it is not good for them. Lei Tengfeng couldn't help but curse in his heart. Is the uncle a fool? How could he choose Ling Yun to come to Dongchu? Even the most unpopular princess in the Xiling Palace is a hundred times more sensible than this girl. "King Ding, this is all about Ling Yun. I heard that Princess Ding is the number one talented woman in the capital and is not good at martial arts. This competition is a bit unfair to the princess."

Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "Since it was Ali who chose it himself, it doesn't matter whether he is righteous or not. Isn't it?"

"But what if the princess..." Mo Xiuyao was sure that Princess Ding could win, or did he not care about the embarrassment of the King Ding Mansion?

"If A Li loses, I will kneel with her to Princess Lingyun!" Mo Xiuyao replied lightly. Lei Tengfeng was shocked when he heard this, and his face could hardly hide his disobedient expression. He turned his eyes to the beautiful woman in the field wearing a moon-white brocade dress like King Ding. His hand holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously, and his eyes were deeply frowned.

In the field, Ye Li and Princess Lingyun checked the bows and arrows in their hands. Princess Lingyun checked her bows and arrows neatly. As expected, they saw that they were the people who used arrows in the capital. On the contrary, Ye Li slowly looked at the bows and arrows in her hands, and tried to touch them here, so the people around them couldn't help but worry about her. Princess Ding's slender figure and slow and awkward movements made people wonder, let alone shooting arrows, whether Princess Ding can pull the bow is the same.

"Tell me, how do you compare?" Princess Lingyun was ready and looked at Ye Li proudly with her chin raised.

Ye Li quickly put down her bow and arrow, raised her head and looked at Princess Lingyun and smiled: "Each person will decide the outcome with one arrow!"

"Whatever." Princess Lingyun held the bow and arrow and said, "Tell me, where to shoot? Or do you shoot a bird in the sky with a hundred steps?"

After hearing Princess Lingyun's words, everyone was even more surprised. They had a deeper understanding of the princess's archery technique. Being able to say the words of the hundred-step Yang so confidently shows that the princess is indeed a master. Hua Tianxiang stood behind Mrs. Hua tightly grabbed her sleeve, and sweated for Ye Li.

Ye Li slowly pulled up his bow and arrow and said lightly: "Bows and arrows are weapons, not used to shoot leaves and birds. So... we are shooting people!" After that, he raised his bow and pointed the arrow steadily at Princess Lingyun.

What?!

Everyone was shocked and watched the woman in the field pointing at Princess Lingyun in a standard but absolutely unskilled posture.

"You... are you crazy? What a joke?" Princess Lingyun shouted in disbelief. Their position was less than fifty steps away from the other party. Lingyun was a master of archery skills. She could naturally see that even if she was not familiar with it, she had definitely learned it. At this distance, both her and Ye Li had a chance to miss each other. Therefore, Ye Li didn't want to compete with her archery skills at all, but wanted to compete with her courage. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Whether it is a sword or an arrow, they are weapons. The weapon is also a weapon. Even if the competition naturally cannot affect others, so she had to trouble Princess Lingyun and this concubine to shoot each other. Death, injury, self-bearing!"

"No..." She didn't want to marry the emperor to become one of the concubines in the harem in order to marry him. She wanted to marry King Ding to become Princess Ding. But she didn't want to die or feel the feeling of being shot through by arrows.

"Princess Ding! Is this a little too serious? What if something happens..." Lei Tengfeng stood up to stop him. Ye Li glanced at him with a smile and said, "Didn't this concubine say that she is guilty of death and injury? Besides, the emperor has agreed to the competition between me and Princess Lingyun. Could it be that the prince wants me to be fat in front of the emperor, the queen and the civil and military officials of the Great Chu? This makes me still have a foothold in the capital in the future?" Lei Tengfeng felt bitter in his heart. You didn't say you wanted to bet on your life.

"Of course, if Princess Lingyun is afraid, she can admit defeat at any time." Finally, Ye Li added a faint sentence. This sentence undoubtedly blocked all Princess Lingyun's retreat. How could she admit defeat to Ye Li in front of so many people? She blurted out with anger that refused to admit defeat, "I will not admit defeat, I have bet!"
