If a good-for-nothing did not have any genuine talent, would they be able to live in the depths of the compound for sixteen years?!

Besides...

That good-for-nothing was a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of all the concubines.

Qian Yi was startled, "Master, you're saying that Master Su is deliberately hiding his strength?"

Shen Hancheng declined to comment.

He was in the middle of the flickering candle light, and his deep, cold eyes shone with a wild light.

This King wants to know just how deep you can hide.

Please, do not disappoint This King...

At dawn the next day, a palanquin came to pick him up.

Before Su Jinruo got on the palanquin, the Prime Minister Su's expression was heavy.

"No matter what, you can't defy the emperor's orders. You must unconditionally obey whatever the Emperor tells you to do, without any objections!"

Su Jinruo's deep eyes remained calm as she nodded her head and left.

Lv Ruo originally wanted to go with them, but was rejected by the head eunuch who brought Su Jinruo away.

Eucalyptus was someone that the Old Emperor had bestowed to Su Jinruo. He wanted to travel with him, so naturally no one would dare say no.

However, the palace was clearly divided in levels, and the case was forced to remain at the palace gates.

He could not remember how long he had walked or how many turns he had taken.

When Su Jinruo arrived at the shooting-range, it was already filled with a sea of people.

The crowd continuously surged forward as if they were on a train, and there was no lack of people wearing the same clothes.

Presumably, they were the participants of the archery competition.

The eunuch who was leading the way said to Su Jinruo in a timely manner, "Master Su, this servant will bring you to the arena to change your clothes."

Seeing Su Jinruo nod his head, the young eunuch led her through a small path.

While walking, he said, "Prime Minister Su has already instructed this servant to prepare the things that you need.

Once Master Su has changed his clothes, this servant will bring you in. "

"Thank you."

While they were talking, the two of them arrived at the inner room.

Su Jinruo took a set of clothes and changed her clothes. Then, after fastening the cuffs of her pants and sleeves, she walked out.

When she came out, the eunuch who had brought her here was nowhere to be seen.

Su Jinruo raised his eyebrows, and looked around.

An unexpected person entered his eyes.

Qian Yi looked at Su Jinruo who had finished changing, his usually calm eyes quickly flashed with a strange expression.

Following that, he withdrew his gaze and said to Su Jinruo: "Master has already chosen the rank for Master Su to enter the arena. Please follow me."

As this competition was something the Emperor had decided on on the spur of the moment, he did not plan to hold it in such a grand manner.

On the north side of the shooting-range, there was a stand.

On both sides of the stands sat the civil and military officials and the royal families.

The rules of the competition were that the one with the highest score would stay behind, like a gavel, and wait for the next powerhouse to challenge him.

If, by some unfortunate accident, the same result was achieved,

Then, the two of them would compete once again, until it was a contest of who was stronger and who was weaker.

A total of 101 contestants participated in the competition.

In every match, ten people went on stage at the same time.

There was only one last person on stage. Hmm, unfortunately, Su Jinruo was the last one …

Su Jinruo held onto the wooden plate with the numbers engraved on it, the sky shaking drum sound resonated.

The match had begun.

She swept a glance over the stands. A bewitching beauty like a peony jumped into her eyes.

She looked over and saw that the person had a bright smile on his face and beautiful eyes brimming with splendor as he looked around.

She sat beside Old Emperor, excitedly admiring the young man who had displayed his archery skills.

When she was excited, she would dance and shake the arm of the Old Emperor.

Su Jinruo blinked his calm eyes lightly.

In this dynasty, a woman's status may not be the lowest, but …

Women are not allowed to ask questions about politics when they meet with national affairs.

Thinking about it this way, the lady in red sitting beside Old Emperor should be the Princess Xiwei that was highly favored by her — — Shen Mingyue.
