The mechanism was turned on and it kept spinning rapidly.
The red heart was spinning rapidly along with the target, making it several times more difficult to hit the target than with an ordinary target. Everyone's face changed, especially the princes in their gorgeous clothes and shoes.
However, not all princes were like this. The Crown Prince and Princes Xia and Ning had serious expressions but were extremely calm.
Four qualifying spots...
Ku Qiaochu suddenly understood. Although they were all the emperor's sons, the emperor already knew the literary and martial arts of these princes. He knew that the next round would be a battle between four kings, so he only set up four places... But the problem is that Shangguan Jinghong may not be able to survive this round!
Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li both stepped out of the line and walked to the side of Prince Xia and Prince Ning respectively, whispering words of encouragement to them.
"Master, are you sure?"
So she only heard Lang Linling asking questions beside her, seeming to be very worried. She knew Prince Rui's strategy, but she didn't know how good Prince Rui's riding and archery skills were.
Lang Xiang came over at some point and said with a low laugh, "Your father came back earlier and said that it was a pity that he could not fight the enemy with Jinghong in the battle of Xixia. The border generals praised King Rui's riding and archery skills."
After hearing her grandfather's words, and with King Rui nodding to her grandfather, Lang Linling finally smiled and stepped aside with her grandfather.
Qiaochu shook hands lightly and wanted to ask Mou Ba how he was doing, but she saw Jing Ping and others surrounding him, and Lang Linling glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally... and that was it.
Meirenben was talking to the four, and they were both very nervous. Suddenly, they lowered their voices and said, "Master, don't worry. This setting will definitely not be a problem for that man..."
Qiaochu pinched his brows. The beauty didn't know that this person couldn't use his strength at all. If he forced himself...
However, what was coming was coming. Soon, the imperial guards led the families of the princes away in an orderly manner. Xia Haibing gave an order, and as she and everyone else were trembling, they heard a "whoosh" sound in their ears, followed by the sound of arrows, which cut through the air like a rainbow and lightning, and fell on the target pile in the distance like a rain of arrows. The first round was over when the rain of arrows stopped.
Qiaochu didn't see when Mouba drew his bow and shot the arrow, but now he quickly focused his attention and looked... In fact, there was no need to look, the cheers that followed said it all!
Without any suspense, the Crown Prince and Princes Xia, Ning, and Rui all scored excellent, and among all the princes, only these four scored this level. Some princes looked gloomy, while others smiled bitterly, knowing that they could not be compared... The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and some were strong and some were weak.
Lang Linling was overjoyed, and the four excited people clapped their hands, but Qiaochu, Laotie and others became more nervous and worried. If you look closely, you can see that King Rui's legs are trembling slightly. Laotie and Fang Ming looked at each other, and Jingping gritted his teeth and wanted to go up and help King Rui down... He couldn't hold on any longer, and if he forced himself to win the second round, he would be seriously injured.
It was as if he had eyes on his back. He turned around and glanced at everyone with a stern look... She understood that he had decided to fight on!
She wanted him to stop, and their eyes met, but he quickly looked away, staring at the place behind her...
She was immediately furious. She knew who he was looking at, or rather, she knew who was looking at him, and he was responding... but shouldn't he at least have some basic manners? She was "communicating" with him, and damn~ why was he looking at Miss Shen!
As the Emperor watched with a smile, Empress Lang chatted indifferently with Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Li and several of his concubines. The atmosphere around them became even more excited. When Xia Haibing gave the order to start the second round, her eyes suddenly caught something. She immediately had an idea and looked ahead again. She saw that Qiaomei and Peilan did not step aside as instructed. Instead, they happily stayed beside the Crown Prince and Prince Ning. Even Prince Xia was accompanied by a beautiful woman.
On the contrary, Lang Linling was the most well-behaved and she and her grandfather stepped aside to watch the game.
Qiaochu suddenly felt something in his mind, and ignored Lang Xiang, Lang Linling and Bishui, whose faces changed suddenly, and they also walked to King Rui.
At the same time, the sound of arrows flying around them started again. She reached out and held his hand. When King Rui was startled and held the bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes slightly darkened as he locked onto hers, she lowered her voice and said, "Hold me, hold my hand tightly... Don't use your strength, I'll shoot this arrow..."
…
"Look..."
Someone screamed, and after all the arrows had either hit the targets or fallen in mid-air, and the sounds had all quieted down, everyone saw an arrow suddenly fly out of the air and land steadily in the center of the red heart of one of the targets.
The whole place was boiling with excitement. It was the arrow shot by Prince Rui! What made people excited and talk about it was that the arrow was shot by Prince Rui while holding his concubine Qiaochu!
Qiaomei ignored Qiaorong's anger, glanced at the man in blue holding the beauty in the distance, and suddenly lost his mind for a moment; a sneer appeared on the corner of the prince's lips; Shen Qingling's eyes darkened, and she looked thoughtfully at Lang Linling in the distance, who was looking at Qiaochu coldly; on the other side, King Xia took a glance, silently put down his bow and arrow, and let his new concubine Zhishu diligently wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Your Majesty, look... this..."
The Queen said with a sneer that although the Emperor had neglected her because of the matter of the Virtuous King, he did not want to make a big deal out of it, so he only secretly deposed the Virtuous King. On the surface, the two of them seemed to be getting along as harmoniously as before. When the Queen saw Qiaochu approaching, the Rui King actually embraced her and taught her how to shoot the arrow... She was Lang Linling's aunt, so how could she not be annoyed by Qiaochu's seductiveness? She immediately told the Emperor.
The emperor glanced at the pair of figures leaning against each other among the princes and frowned slightly.
Beside them, Concubine Zhuang said calmly, "Originally, there is nothing wrong with young couples being affectionate, but Concubine Qiao is a bit too unrestrained... Although they both come from barbarian lands, the Crown Princess is much more dignified and generous than her..."
Concubine Li was slightly startled. From what Concubine Chang had done before, it seemed that Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Qiao were very close. How could they say such things in front of the emperor? But she was a cautious person and did not say anything.

4 She was startled, and then she heard Concubine Zhuang whispering about what happened in the carriage last night... Jinghong is a well-educated and well-mannered child, and she would definitely not...
The emperor frowned and coughed.
Concubine Zhuang was a smart person and she stopped talking immediately.
From the corner of her eye, she could see Concubine Zhuang and Empress Lang exchanging glances.
She was both shocked and smiled bitterly. When had the dispute between Queen Lang and Concubine Zhuang ever ceased? But now, it seemed that they had someone they disliked in common. As expected, there were no eternal enemies in this palace... Of course, there were no eternal friends either.
On the other side—
"Thank you, sir, for letting me experience the pleasure of a bowstring."
So the cheers of the people have not yet ceased, and the secret messages may still be heard.
His eyes were burning everywhere.
Qiaochu was about to withdraw from the man's arms, but her waist was still warm... She glanced at the man's hand still on her waist.
Prince Rui was staring at her, his dark and deep eyes even had a hint of dazedness. When he followed her gaze, he seemed to be slightly startled and quickly let go of her hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Qiaochu cursed this man in her heart. It turned out that he regarded her as a plague... She also bowed quickly and walked back to the four beautiful ladies.
She was overwhelmed by all kinds of eyes in the forest...
Duma's life was not saved in vain after all. The four sisters and the beauty often scolded the big man for being ungrateful... But in fact, he only taught her the most basic riding and archery skills on the surface, but secretly taught her seriously.
She called him Master, and he said he felt unworthy of the title, but he had no choice but to give up his teaching position in the clan.
She replied to him that she understood. It is not easy for anyone to survive in this world...
The solar terms are good, but they cannot be used as meals.
As close as the four beauties were, she didn't tell them. After all, it would be bad for Duma if they accidentally let it slip. And if it was not necessary, she would just keep what he taught her as a gift.
Although she was used to the pointing eyes along the way, she still felt uncomfortable... She understood how unbearable she was in the eyes of these people.
But that's it.
Sometimes, we should talk to ourselves more often and let go of things that we cannot force so that we will not feel so tired.
Lang Linling smiled at her faintly, and she smiled back. This time she got into trouble again...
If it was a disparagement to her, then for King Rui, all these voices were praises... He actually dared to bring people to shoot that arrow.
It seemed that, since some time, this man was no less capable than the prince, perhaps from the moment he asked the emperor to go to war... Besides, the prince was noble and cold, while he was graceful and gentle... If it weren't for this iron face and this crippled leg...
At this moment, facing the gazes of the crowd, Prince Rui's eyes quickly narrowed, but he waved to her. Without saying a word, she immediately walked to his side. He took her through the brothers lined up in a row, walked to the emperor, lifted his clothes and knelt down, saying loudly: "Father, your son is guilty."
At this moment, Qiaochu suddenly had an illusion that they were indeed deeply in love.
The emperor sighed slightly and said, "Get up. This is the good fortune between you and Concubine Qiao. Father never thought that you would treat Concubine Qiao like this... You are different from me in the past..."
So what, pampering
Qiaochu smiled softly in his heart, but whispered: "Your Majesty, it was Qiaochu who was petty and didn't know the big picture... Qiaochu knows his crime."
The emperor did not speak, but heard Prince Rui pleadingly: "Son, please shoot the arrow again."
Qiaochu was startled, her heart pounding. She knew he said that on purpose, but what if the emperor... There was no panic in his voice, he was very calm.
The emperor waved his hand, his face darkened, and he said, "You shot the arrow just now with your hand. What difference will it make if you shoot it again? It seems that being bare-handed is worse than being with someone."

He paused and then whispered, "Jinghong, husband and wife should respect and love each other, but remember not to indulge each other."
He asked the two to get up and told Xia Haibing to prepare for the next game.
Entering the second game, only the prince and the three kings remained.
*
Even though they could narrowly win the first game, winning the second game would be extremely difficult unless there was a miracle.
The second round is a hunting game, which is divided into three rounds. If someone wins two of the three rounds at the same time, there is no need to play the third round.
The rules required that the Crown Prince and the three kings each pick nine people around them, plus themselves, to form a group of ten.
Thus, there are four groups.
In one hour, four groups go to the designated hunting areas to hunt, and the group with the most prey wins. This goes on for three rounds. There are two possible results: one group wins twice and directly wins the military token without having to compete in the third round; or three groups win one game each, and one group is eliminated, and the top three groups advance to the next round together.
The second game seems very simple, but it requires the most strategy and riding and archery skills.
Standing in the woods designated as the hunting area for King Rui, Qiaochu looked at the endless lushness before him and the occasional small animals running through the jungle, and sighed.
As soon as Prince Rui came in, he fainted. The first arrow had indeed seriously damaged his vitality. Fortunately, he was not forced to shoot the second arrow, otherwise his injury would be very serious.
The people chosen by King Rui included Lao Tie and the other four people, she, Meiren, and three guards from the Lang residence recommended by Lang Xiang and Lang Linling. However, King Rui did something that puzzled everyone. After the imperial guards led them into the hunting area and were about to leave, King Rui suddenly drugged the three guards of the Lang family, and then he passed out.
Thus, their group was missing four people, and, without Prince Rui to lead the team, they had no chance of winning against the three groups of strong players led by the Crown Prince. They were already on the verge of defeat!
