What was even more surprising was that the person who stood up was Ye Jun.
The girl was wearing a golden crabapple-colored Ruyi cloud brocade skirt, her black hair was combed into double knife-shaped buns, and the ends of her willow eyebrows were slightly raised, which made her look quite sharp. At this moment, she stood there with a faint smile on her face.
Seeing his sister stand up, Ye Zhe couldn't help but become worried. His handsome eyes darkened a little, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only clench his fists.
At this moment, no one present believed that such a beautiful girl could shoot arrows and wanted to compete with Princess Dolan.
"Why, do you want to play again? You are too naughty. If you lose, you are not allowed to come to me and cry."
Ning Chen smiled. No matter whether he won or lost, as long as there were women willing to fight, it would not be shameful to lose.
I have to say that Ye Jun's action really satisfied Ning Chen.
Yao Xiang sat below, tightening his hands in his sleeves, secretly hating himself for not thinking of this.
But on second thought, in her previous life, Princess Duolan had won the first prize out of ten attempts. Now that Ye had stepped forward this time, even if the emperor remembered her, she would still lose shamefully.
"As long as I lose and no one laughs at me, I won't cry. Besides, Princess Duolan was born in the grassland and her archery skills are better than mine. It's normal. I'm not afraid." Ye Jun raised his eyebrows.
Dolan looked at her. Although he was surprised, he was not upset. After all, he was not without real ability.
Just like that, in front of everyone, Ye Jun went on stage without changing her clothes, which made her look like a show-off.
Twenty targets were arranged in order, and two people stood side by side, shooting arrows from left to right.
Ning Chen had someone bring Ye Jun's bow and arrow. It was a lighter bow, more suitable for women, but the range was just as good.
Doran's bow and arrow are what she is used to, so it seems that Doran still has a better chance of winning.
The two men raised their bows, pulled the strings, and aimed at the same time.
“Whoosh—”
With a crisp sound, Dolan let go, and the arrow shot out at high speed, and with a dull sound, it hit the bull's eye.
"Good!" The Zasak people immediately cheered loudly.
Dolan raised his chin, feeling somewhat proud.
Turning around, I saw Ye Jun pulling the string and was reluctant to let go.
Ning Chen looked at the woman off the court and couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't mind Ye Jun losing, but he also hoped she would win.
Not only him, but everyone present had their eyes on Ye Jun, wanting to see what this pretty girl was capable of.
"My Lady Ming, don't let your eyes fool you. If you don't know how to do it, why bother going up and embarrassing yourself?" Li Wanrong muttered softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another sharp whooshing sound.
"Akira hit the bull's eye!"
The guards on the other side shouted loudly, their excitement evident in their words.
What! Yao Xiang's pupils shrank sharply, and he almost knocked over the teacup at hand. He quickly pinched his palms and forced himself to calm down.
This must be a fluke, a fluke!
"Hahahaha, great, I underestimated you after all!"
Ning Chen also burst into laughter, his phoenix eyes fixed on Ye Jun as if he had seen a treasure.
With this arrow, it doesn't matter if he loses. At least it proves that any concubine in his harem is outstanding.
At this time, Dolan did not look very good. Although he was still calm, the woman next to him was obviously more calm, which made her gradually nervous.
"I'm sorry, I haven't touched a bow and arrow for a long time, so I'm a little rusty." Ye Jun smiled modestly.
At first, she didn't like martial arts, so her father only asked her to learn horse stance. Archery was something she really wanted to learn on her own.
After all, I used to admire the martial arts masters' skill of shooting an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away, and I never thought it would come in handy today.
The two men drew their bows and arrows again. This time, Ye Jun was still a beat slower, but still much faster than the first arrow.
All of them hit the bull's eye, and everyone present cheered.
Ning Chen looked at Ye Jun's back, his eyes becoming even more fiery.
Except for Aoqi who looked a little serious, everyone else felt that this competition was much more exciting than the previous ones.
Sudiya sat behind her father, praying silently to embarrass Dolan.
With the next few arrows, Ye Jun gradually found the feel for it, and each arrow was faster, more powerful and more accurate than the last.
Dolan's palms were already sweating, she hadn't expected it to be like this.
Aren’t women from the Central Plains all weak? How come they are so good at archery? But she can’t lose this round!
By the time they got the eighth arrow, their movements were already synchronized, but when she heard the sound of the arrow hitting the target, Duolan knew that Ye Jun's arrow was faster, which made her even more panicked.
The first arrow was shot, and Ye Jun was obviously one step faster than her, and still hit the center of the bull's eye.
The last arrow would decide the outcome. Dolan had already sweated a lot and even felt a little dizzy.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes tightly, and try to calm yourself down.
At this moment, I heard the crisp sound of a sharp arrow piercing the sky.
"Hit the bull's eye! Miss Ming shot ten arrows, and every one of them hit the target!" The guard standing in front of the target shouted excitedly.
The taut string in Dolan's mind became even tighter at that moment.
This time, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
“Whoosh—”
The arrow was shot out quickly, but Dolan's figure flashed slightly. With the dull sound of the arrow hitting the target, the Zasak guard on the other side looked at the target but remained silent.
The result is clear.
Dolan lost, her last arrow missing the bull's eye by an inch.
She failed not in skills but in mentality.
Ye Jun did it on purpose. She gradually increased her speed, disrupting Duolan's mentality and causing her to make a mistake.
In this round, Ye Yun won a big victory.
"I admit it." Ye Jun leaned forward slightly, his face still calm.
Dolan had a complicated expression. He bowed slightly, said nothing, and returned to his seat with heavy steps.
"I didn't know you could shoot arrows, and you're so good at it. Today I should reward you well. Pass on my decree that Ming Meiren will be promoted to Concubine!"
Ning Chen now really felt that Ye Jun was like a treasure, who could always surprise him again and again.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but Your Majesty should not just focus on me. It is rare for Princess Duolan to have such skills as a woman." Ye Jun said obediently.
Ning Chen nodded, "Yes, that makes sense. Then I will grant Princess Duolan the title of the third rank noble and give her the title of Yunrong!"
Although Dolan is called a princess, this title does not have much meaning as it has not been formally canonized. As long as she is the daughter of a prince, she can be called a princess. Now that she has been formally canonized, it is different.
But none of these can compare to Ye Jun's promotion to the position of imperial concubine, which is enough to make many people jealous.
Yao Xiang sat in his seat, lowered his eyes slightly, and hid the viciousness in his eyes.
It would be fine if Ye Jun was honest, but now Ye Jun is too favored. Her appearance has caused too many changes in things, which is really annoying.
But it will be over soon, Yao Xiang sneered in his heart, let her enjoy the glory for a few more days.
Just a grasshopper in autumn.
The final winner can only be herself. She planned and endured just to wait for that opportunity. In her last life and this life, these were opportunities given to her by God. How could she not seize them
