Rong'er thought to himself: Looking at the expression on Dundub's face, I think that he is really injured. At least my senses tell me that this is a man who is friendly towards his daughter, and can only blame my daughter's heart which has already been promised to Woorgun. A loyal woman's heart cannot be changed so Dundub is destined to only be a passerby in Rong Xian's life.
Although it was said to be a martial arts competition, this matter was handled in an extremely low-key manner. After all, both parties were Mongol Belo and Rong Xian was a princess. The prestige of the imperial family still had to be taught, so not many people knew about it.
The fighting arena was located in an empty courtyard near the palace, and other than a few guards and palace people, only Xuan Ye, Rong'er and Rong Xian were present. There was a target placed in the center of the courtyard, and Woorgun and Dundub were going to ride their horses and shoot the target. There were three archers in the courtyard, and every time an arrow was shot, two of them would exchange blows for three rounds.
The attitudes of the people present were also different. Rong'er was worried, Rong Xian was anxious, but Xuan Ye was calm and smiling, he looked at Woorgun and Dundub, his face heavy, extremely serious. Although no one was watching the competition, the blood of the Mongolian men was strong, making them give it their all.
The first to go up on stage was Woorgun, he galloped forward steadily and released three arrows that hit the target's heart, Rong Xian shouted from the side, and Durn Dob also did not show any weakness, three arrows also hit the target's heart, in the first round both sides ended up in a tie.
However, Woorgun's performance was still as outstanding as ever. The three arrows all hit the target one by one, and Woorgun was temporarily in the lead.
By the third round, as long as Woorgun had hit three arrows, his victory would be guaranteed, and Rong'er and Rong Xian both believed in Woorgun's strength. The first two arrows had hit the target without any suspense, but the third arrow had missed its target, and hit the outside of the target.
Dundub had a solemn expression on his face once again. Dundub was a man who looked calm on the surface, but whether it was during banquets or daily events, Rong'er would smile when he saw him. It was Rong Xian who changed him, causing the smile on the corner of his mouth to disappear, and Rong'er bitterly thought, You really care, because you don't seem to be herself because you care too much about her.
Just as Rong'er was thinking about these, Dundub had already shot out two arrows, and these two arrows had hit the target, as long as the last arrow hit the target, he would be at a draw with Woorgun.
It was unknown if it was because he was too nervous, or because Dundub's final arrow was not strong enough, and it actually hit the target! When the arrow fell, Dundub was holding onto the horse's head, staring blankly at the arrow that fell to the ground.
Xuan Ye also did not speak, but in the courtyard, only Rong Xian's happy voice resounded, "Woorgun has won!" mother, imperial father, Woorgun won! "
Woorgun led his horse to Dundub, who slowly turned his head to look at Woorgun. "Dundub is willing to admit defeat, congratulations! "Treat the princess nicely!" He then rode to Xuan Ye, dismounted and knelt down: "Your majesty, your subject has lost, your subject will take his leave!"
"Dundub, you …" Xuan Ye was also thinking about whether he should encourage her, or comfort her …
"Your majesty, Dundub isn't skilled enough, and he still needs to learn more. This subject will take his leave now!" Dundub once again requested that they leave.
After all, he did not only have a daughter. He could be considered a good son-in-law, and he nodded lightly, "Alright, I will allow you to leave!"
Dundobu Xie En stood up, looked at Rong Xian who could not hide the joy on his face and said: "I wish the princess happiness!"
"Dundub …" Seeing the usually arrogant and confident Dundub acting like this, Rong Xian suddenly felt a little unbearable in her heart. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Dundub looked at Rong Xian deeply, jumped on his horse, and rushed towards the entrance of the courtyard quickly. After the dust settled, Dundub's figure had already disappeared.
He was the eldest grandson of the techituhan, and he had everything he wanted. In these twenty odd years, this was the first time he had felt such strong feelings for a girl. However, he was destined to never get her … His heart ached! In the tournament, the princess was always cheering for Woorgun. The princess knew who she wanted so well, and why she missed the final arrow … The happiness that the princess wanted was Woorgun … Blame yourself for appearing too late... The horse galloped by, leaving behind a lonely sand...
In the courtyard, Xuan Ye laughed as he looked at Woorgun, "Woorgun, it seems that our daughter will definitely marry you!"
"Thank you, your majesty!" Woorgun said as he knelt.
"Treat our daughter well, and wait for us to return to the palace. Just prepare for Zhang Luo to marry the princess, and marry her!" Xuan Ye laughed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Woorgun secretly raised his eyes to look at Rong Xian, only to see a flushed face looking at him. His heart felt warm, but he could not help but feel that it was strange.
At the end of May, Xuan Ye and the rest finally returned to the palace.
In this period of time, the palace was considered peaceful. After returning to the palace, Rong'er immediately went to visit Jia Ping, whose illness had not improved, but the doors to Yikun Palace's palace had been shut tight all day, while Yuan Yiren and Noble Lady Liang had lost their liveliness. Of course, they were not restricted from going out, it was just that the palace was too lonely.
The only people who knew that Jia Ping had lost their minds were the empress dowager and the Imperial Concubine Wen. As for the others, they hid everything from him, and naturally included Yuan Yiren and the Noble Lady Liang. They didn't need to pay their respects to Jiuping, but there were people gossiping in the palace after all. The two of them had heard about it, and some of them tried to ask Rong'er, but both of them managed to get away with it. Fortunately, these two were both vile people in the palace, not people who talked too much, so Jiuping was able to pass the day peacefully.
Xuan Ye, on the other hand, used Rong Xian's dowry for the wedding. According to the rules of marriage that the princess had married into, there were more than one, the dowry was extremely generous, the gold, silver, and satin were not worth mentioning, there were a total of 240 housewives and all sorts of craftsmen. Xuan Ye was also extremely concerned about this matter, as he had even personally taken care of it.
Everything was in place, Rong Xian only needed to wait for the auspicious day of June to come before he would officially get married.
