Actually, it was not that Sheng Yan did not dare to accept the challenge, it was that she did not have much confidence in winning, especially since this type of shot was directed at living creatures, moving, and not the kind of shot that she would play with everyday. It was aimed at fixed targets, so it was still possible for him to win.
If he accidentally injured another person, that would be a great loss.
It was good that he injured ordinary people as an apology. If he hurt the people of the royal family, wouldn't that mean he was conspiring against them?
Thinking about it, Sheng Yan hesitated.
But the Xuanyuan Li agreed.
"Since Grand Imperial Consort wants to challenge me, I will do so. I will teach her some tricks, please feel free to do so."
With these words, Sheng Yi Qiu's heart was filled with all sorts of dissatisfaction.
Of course, they were both ignoring him now, and of course, this would only be done to Sheng Yan. After all, ever since she appeared, when the Sheng Jia did not have a peaceful life, the power that she and her mother had had was not absolute. She really did not understand why Sheng Yan had to come back, it was as if she was the bane of the world.
The Xuanyuan Li gave Sheng Yan a simple pointer, and nodded when it saw Sheng Yan holding the bow and arrow.
"You learn very quickly."
"I would have."
"Oh? "Could it be that you're teaching this at the Manor?"
Sheng Yan lowered her head and sighed, "Sigh, if I can't eat, what can I do?"
"You seem to have described yourself very miserably."
"It was already very tragic. You won't understand."
After Sheng Yan finished speaking, she picked up her bow and arrows and climbed onto a horse by himself. Although she could not ride on it, she realised that this horse was very docile, of course, she could tell from the mat on it that this was the Xuanyuan Li's exclusive mount.
The two of them moved forward together, both searching for prey that they could bear.
Of course, Sheng Yi Qiu had already ran inside, as the best things were in the most inconspicuous place.
If she wanted to win, she had to take the risk. Furthermore, she had two princes by her side, so she wasn't worried at all. These people were here in search of their target.
Looking at the darkening forest, the few of them halted their steps.
The Xuanyuan Linlang looked at Sheng Yi Qiu and sneered, "What, Big brother ignored you and you're still thinking about my third brother?"
"What is the princess saying? Didn't Fifth Sister make the princess very awkward?"
"That was in the past, and no one was there. How did you know?"
Hearing this question, Sheng Yi Qiu was stunned for a moment. She did not expect the Xuanyuan Linlang's reaction to be so fast, and even calmer than before.
"At that time, Fifth Sis leaked the information."
"Really? And here I thought you saw it. Seriously, it's good enough that you didn't try to stop me when you saw this."
"Princess, please pay attention to your words."
"Then, Sixth Miss of the Sheng Jia, if you have the time to talk, go and hunt some more prey."
Sheng Yi Qiu knew that she wouldn't benefit from being in front of the Xuanyuan Linlang. After all, the Xuanyuan mirror was here today, and this woman was extremely loyal to it. She had a pretty good relationship with it since she was young.
Furthermore, since yesterday, the two princesses had been silent. It was not only because everyone from the imperial family had come, it was likely because of the presence of the Xuanyuan Li as well.
Thinking about that, Sheng Yi Qiu did not dare to offend these people, but Sheng Yan was the only one who would not let her off easily.
After searching for the target, Sheng Yi Qiu started hunting. After all, she wanted to fight with Sheng Yan head on.
Just then, an arrow was shot, directly flying towards the prey in front of Sheng Yi Qiu.
Sheng Yi Qiu blocked the arrow and turned around. It was Sheng Yan riding over slowly.
"Sixth sister, you have to be careful. My arrows are blind."
"What are you being so arrogant for? There isn't even a single prey."
Sheng Yan smiled faintly. At the moment, there were only the two of them in the forest, so it was easier to talk. Xuanyuan Li was already waiting on the side.
"Sixth sister, is there a misunderstanding between us? Why are you always targeting me?"
"Fifth Sister, you clearly know that I like the Prince Li, and you stole it first."
"Me? If it were not for the medicine, how could Prince Li … "
"Fifth Sister, admit what happened to your Prince Li Li that day, right?"
Sheng Yan knew that she was trying to trick him, but it was useless.
"That's right, the Prince Li dove head first into the bathtub. Don't mention how embarrassing it is, I don't even dare to tell others."
"Really? Is it really that simple?"
"That's right. Furthermore, he was yelling something about continuing to drink. In short, he was extremely drunk and even wanted to find a place for convenience in me. This is truly embarrassing."
Sheng Yi Qiu really doubted Sheng Yan's words, but since she said it like that, there was nothing she could do.
He could only pretend that it was true. It could only be said that it was an accident.
After that, the two began to compete. However, the animals here were different from others. They seemed to be more careful and understood the principle of survival.
As a result, he ran everywhere and hid himself. This way, there was no way to catch him.
Sheng Yan thought that it would be good if both of them did not reap any rewards. She didn't have to worry about one of them losing face, they were both surnamed Sheng, it would be the same if they were disgraced.
Therefore, whatever Sheng Yi Qiu wanted to shoot, she could only do it. Moreover, her aiming skills were not bad, and she aimed specifically at Sheng Yi Qiu's arrows.
"That's normal. It's such a big place, it isn't strange for us to see the target at the same time."
Sheng Yi Qiu rolled her eyes at Sheng Yan. It was very soon, and the servants would be calling the people who were going out soon.
The two of them returned with nothing to show for it.
The Xuanyuan Li had always been led by Sheng Yan.
"Was what you said about me drinking too much the other day true?"
Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment. She did not notice that she had been eavesdropping the entire time.
"Prince listens to you and it is true. If it doesn't sound good, it isn't true."
Xuanyuan Li was not a fool either, of course she knew that all of these were fake, it was just that Sheng Yan's words were too flawless, but she had lost her memories back then and didn't know what she had done, but if it was convenient for her, such things shouldn't happen right …
But in terms of numbers, Xuan Yuan Nuo had won.
When they returned to the capital, the Xuanyuan Li had already disappeared and brought Sheng Yan to look for a doctor. Fortunately, she had treated him properly and in time, so she did not injure her muscles and bones.
After looking at their arms, Sheng Yan and Lan Qin then returned to the Palace.
However, when he saw the carriages of betrothal gifts at the door, he was very curious, who exactly had come? And it was so solemn, he had not heard of anyone being proposed or of Fu Yun Xian arranging anyone's marriage.
Or could this be Sheng Yi Qiu's dowry? But there were still three days until the wedding. Would it be too early to set it up now?
