Jingyou looked focused, but his overall state was very relaxed.

He pulled the bowstring, and three arrows shot out at the same time with a "whoosh".

Dangdangdang——

Two of them hit the bull's eye, and the other one missed the bull's eye by two inches.

The only arrow that Xu Songyi had hit the target was squeezed out!

The archery range was suddenly silent, and everyone seemed stunned by the child's operation.

Jingyou, on the other hand, looked indifferent and nodded politely to Xu Songyi, "Thank you!"

After saying this, he skipped towards Prince Jing.

“This is… too amazing!”

"As expected of Prince Jing's son!"

"A tiger father will have a dog son!"

"At such a young age, his archery skills are so exquisite. When he grows up, he will definitely surpass me!"

There was thunderous applause in the arena.

Amid the cheers, Xu Songyi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Princess Cheng clenched her fists and couldn't help but tremble slightly. She was angry and ashamed.

Zhao Yezhen kindly comforted him, "It's not shameful to lose to Prince Jing. After all, he was trained by His Royal Highness Prince Jing himself."

As soon as she finished speaking, a child's childish voice came from behind her.

"My father taught me for a shorter time, while my second uncle taught me for a longer time."

"If I train hard and grow up a little bit, I will be able to surpass my second uncle one day!"

Jingyou followed Zisu over and just heard what Zhao Yezhen said. He said with a smile.

Princess Cheng: “…”

The young disciples taught by Song Yunqi all defeated Xu Songyi easily.

How powerful is Song Yunqi?

Princess Cheng secretly glared at Song Mingli. If Song Mingli didn't do it on purpose, she would have written the word "Xu" backwards!

When Zhao Yezhen heard this, she smiled even sweeter.

She squatted down and talked to Jingyou.

Princess Cheng frowned and turned away.

"Call Xu Songyi over to me!"

The maidservant beside Princess Cheng bowed and retreated quickly.

After a while, the maid brought Xu Songyi over.

The brother and sister stood in a secluded corner of Guiyuan, with a maid waiting not far away.

Princess Cheng looked at her brother coldly, "You can't even handle such a small matter? And you let a little kid overpower you! You are really out of your league!"

Xu Songyi already felt ashamed, but he didn't expect that his elder sister did not comfort him but blamed him instead.

He was so angry that he stiffened his neck. "Big sister, just call whoever you think is capable! Duke Qin's mansion is good, but she is just a daughter you found halfway!"

"To put it bluntly, she is just a girl who has fallen into the common people's trap! How can she compare with the young ladies who grew up in the noble families in Kyoto?"

"I don't have to marry her! It's you and Dad, or rather, you and King Cheng who want to win over the Duke of Qin's Mansion!"

Seeing her brother's desperate look, Princess Cheng felt angry and helpless at the same time.

She suppressed her anger and had to patiently say, "Why is it for us? You know, she is the daughter who was stranded outside, and Duke Qin and his wife feel ashamed of her!"

"If you marry her, will the Duke Qin's Mansion not think about compensating you? Wouldn't this be a great help to you?"

"You are my biological brother, how can a big sister hurt you?"

Xu Songyi snorted lightly, still feeling embarrassed.

“Forget it, you can’t be blamed for what happened just now…Princess Jing clearly did it on purpose! Who would have thought that her son was so powerful.” Princess Cheng had to pinch her nose and comfort her brother.

Xu Songyi snorted, "I just performed poorly. If I had performed well, would it be his turn to be in the limelight?"

Princess Cheng nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, so, I have prepared a great opportunity for you, you must make the best of it this time."

Xu Songyi frowned and looked at his elder sister, "What opportunity?"

Princess Cheng smiled slightly, "A chance for a hero to save a beautiful girl!"

Xu Songyi couldn't help but stand up straight, "In Guiyuan? There are palace guards everywhere, how can there be such an opportunity?"

Princess Cheng nodded, "It is because there are so many people that there are more opportunities... Moreover, as long as you save her and are seen by others, the Duke of Qin's Mansion will definitely agree to your marriage request for her reputation."

"By then, not only will you be able to marry the daughter of Duke Qin, but you will also be able to gain a good reputation! Duke Qin will feel that they owe you."

"It's a sure win, do you dare to do it?"

Xu Songyi's expression relaxed, "What kind of opportunity is this? It's so good?"

"How good are you at swimming? Can you swim? If she falls into the water, can you save her?"

With the experience of failure last time, Princess Cheng had to ask carefully this time.

Xu Songyi patted his chest and assured, "Apart from anything else, I am an excellent swimmer! I have never lost in a swimming competition with them!"

Princess Cheng pursed her lips… Her brother had said the same thing when she asked about archery.

However, Chunhua Lake is not deep, and it’s just to save one person... Jumping into the lake to save someone is bound to involve physical contact.

That's enough.

Princess Cheng waved her hand and asked Xu Songyi to come closer to her ear, and she gave him some detailed instructions.

Xu Songyi's originally hesitant eyes became brighter as he listened, and finally, he nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, big sister, it's easy!"

Xu Songyi left quickly.

Princess Cheng also returned to the crowded place.

Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Zhao Yezhen.

Zhao Yezhen happened to be alone at the moment, as Princess Jing was called away by Princess Minghua to talk.

God help her too.

A little maid came forward and whispered a few words to Zhao Yezhen.

Zhao Yezhen's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.

Princess Cheng snorted disdainfully, "You are so young, yet you are so eager to take action. You are really a country bumpkin! You have a mean temper! You don't know what modesty is!"

The maid said something and then stepped back.

Zhao Yezhen waited for a moment, then looked around. Seeing no one was paying attention to her, she hurried away with her maid.

Although the people around her didn't notice Zhao Yezhen, Song Mingli, who was not far away, kept staring at her.

"Why did she leave? I haven't given her the gift my second brother asked me to give her yet!"

Song Mingli muttered something and quickly apologized to Princess Minghua.

"Princess, I have some private business to attend to today..."

Princess Minghua smiled. This sister-in-law was simply her lucky charm. She had helped her earn a lot of money before she even married her brother.

Even if it wasn't for her brother's sake, she wouldn't make things difficult for Song Mingli.

"Go quickly, there's no rush for our business. Bring Jingyou to my house some other day and we'll talk about it."

"Okay, thank you princess."

"Call me sister!"

"Thank you, sis."

Song Mingli took his leave and went after Zhao Yezhen.

"This girl runs so fast!" Seeing that Zhao Yezhen was walking in a hurry, Song Mingli was afraid that he could not catch up with her, so he had to ask Molan to go ahead.

"Catch up with her first and tell her to wait for me! I have something to give her."

Molan dodged and was already more than ten steps away.

Zhao Yezhen was stopped by Molan, with a look of anxiety on her face.

When Song Mingli came to her, her face turned as red as a ripe apple.

Song Mingli looked up at the sky and said, "It's not sunny, why is your face so red?"
