However, among the foreign envoys who came to the banquet, there was one person who was of high status and outstanding character. This person was none other than Xiao Hanyue, the crown prince of Yueluo Kingdom.This Xiao Hanyue was born with outstanding talents, both civil and military, with a free and unrestrained personality, and his best skill is Go.Before he came to our dynasty, he accidentally obtained an incomplete chess game in Yueluo Kingdom, but he visited all the masters in the country, and no one could crack it.This time when he was on a mission to our court, he also brought the chess game with him. Firstly, he was looking for someone who could crack the chess game, and secondly, he was testing our court's attitude.It's just that he has been here for more than three months, but there is still no one who can solve the broken chess for him.For this palace banquet, he also had a fluke mentality, but he couldn't help being a little disappointed when he saw that most of the people attending the banquet were from the families of charming daughters...

After three rounds of drinking, Shui Jing quietly looked at the seat below, and saw Shui Cheng staring at Daiyu intently, and then looked at Shui Rong, who hadn't seen Daiyu for more than half a year, and actually lost a lot of weight At this time, his eyes were also lingering on Daiyu.Shui Jing couldn't help laughing, Empress Liu also saw the situation of Shui Cheng and Shui Rong, she looked at Shui Jing's expression, and found it quite interesting.Shui Jing stood up and cleared her throat: "Everyone, take advantage of this auspicious day, I have something to announce to everyone!" The following immediately fell silent, and everyone pricked up their ears.I just heard Shui Jing say: "Everyone knows that my imperial sister, Princess Huiya Yuehua, is 16 years old this year, that is to say, she has passed her age, so I want to choose one for my imperial sister. The talented husband-in-law is the county horse. Of course, you have all seen the appearance and talent of the princess." Shui Jing said and looked at Shui Cheng: "Prince Zhongyong!" Shui Cheng's eyes kept on Following Daiyu, since Daiyu lived in the palace, he has never seen her again, so he can't let go.So when Shui Jing greeted him, he hadn't heard it yet, and it was a minister next to him who tugged at his sleeve that he came back to his senses and found that Shui Jing was looking at him with a smile. "Prince Zhongyong, I want to point Princess Huiya Yuehua to you, what do you think?!" Shui Cheng was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down, "Thank you, Lord Long En!" Prince Jing is water-soluble, and I hope that the emperor will allow his subjects to compete fairly with Prince Zhongyong for the sake of fairness." Shui Jing was secretly happy, which was exactly what he liked to see. "There is only one princess. For the sake of fairness, I agree to Prince Beijing's request."

Xiao Hanyue also saw Daiyu sitting next to the queen at the side table where foreign envoys were entertained, and couldn't help being overwhelmed by Daiyu's appearance.He has also heard about the talent of this princess, but he has only seen her in person now, and only feels that such a beauty with both talents and appearance is worthy of competition. Besides, he does not have a princess in Yueluo Kingdom However, if there is really no one who can crack the chess game, it would be a great thing in life to marry such a princess back home.Thinking of this, he also knelt down in attendance like Shui Rong: "I also want to compete with the two princes. I am willing to use the wealth of a country to marry the princess as the future queen of our country." As soon as Xiao Hanyue said this, Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.Even some envoys from several other countries couldn't help but feel a little moved. If they could get married with the Celestial Dynasty because of this...the matter would develop like this, which was never imagined by Lord Shuijing and his ministers.Empress Liu looked at Daiyu worriedly, but saw that she seemed to be fine, talking and laughing with Tanchun beside her.Shui Jing looked at her half-brother, but saw Shui Cheng nodded to herself confidently.Then he sighed helplessly: "Okay! Five days later, there will be a martial arts competition in the Martial Arts Palace, and we will marry the princess!"

However, Emperor Shui Jing saw that Shui Cheng agreed to compete with everyone, so he had to announce that five days later, the martial arts competition in Yanwu Hall meant marriage.Seeing that Shui Jing made the order, Shui Rong and Xiao Hanyue both heaved a sigh of relief, the banquet had already reached the busiest point at this time, seeing Daiyu's calm expression, Empress Liu was in a panic .After the banquet, everyone went out of the palace to their heart's content, Shui Rongzi returned to the mansion with his mother, Princess Beijing, Shui Cheng stayed in the palace, Xiao Hanyue returned to the posthouse by himself.One day later, the eldest sons of Nan'an Palace and Xining Palace successively asked Shuijing to participate in the competition, but on the fourth day, several princes from foreign countries came day and night, begging the emperor to allow them to participate.Shui Jing had no choice but to agree.

When it came to the day of the martial arts competition, Shui Jing and Empress Liu had already made arrangements for the Martial Arts Hall.This Martial Arts Hall was originally built by the emperor of the previous dynasty for the candidates who participated in the martial arts, and the terrain is very open.Shui Cheng and the other disciples who participated in the martial arts contest got ready early in the morning, and Dai Yu, accompanied by Liu Hou and Tan Chun, went to the head of the Martial Arts Hall and sat down. Shui Jing had been waiting for a long time.Seeing that everyone had arrived, the emperor Shui Jing announced that the contest had officially begun.In this martial arts competition, the first test is bow and arrow. Shui Jing has practiced martial arts since childhood, and Shui Cheng is very confident in bow and arrow; Shui Rong is both civil and military, but he has studied more. My heart relaxed a lot; the other princes and children who competed in the martial arts also had joyful expressions on their faces.It's just that there are certain rules for this competition of arrows. Generally speaking, if martial arts practitioners want to compete with bows and arrows, the distance between the target and the archer must be more than a hundred steps away.It's just that now it's a martial arts competition to recruit relatives. Shui Jing thought about it for a few days, and finally decided to change the distance from a hundred steps to 150 steps.The eldest sons of the Nan'an Palace, Shui Rong and Xiao Hanyue both hit the bull's-eye, and the princes of the other kingdoms were not bad, barely passing the test.In the end was Shui Cheng, but he chose to stop at 240 paces, and then he tightened the bowstring calmly, but then he fired three arrows in a row. It turned out that Shui Cheng shot a string of arrows.When the sergeant took down the archery target to look at it, he couldn't help being stunned, Shui Jing urged the newspaper to count. "Report to the emperor, Prince Zhongyong fired three consecutive arrows, but this arrow..." The sergeant said and presented the arrow target to Shui Jing.I saw that not only did the three arrows hit the bull's-eye, but the position of the last two arrows and the position of the first arrow were actually the same target, so the first arrow was actually divided into two halves by the second arrow. , and the second arrow was separated by the third arrow.The archery technique is refined to such a degree that it is simply a magical skill. I am afraid that there will be no second one in this world. In this first round, Shui Cheng is undoubtedly No.1.Shui Cheng's show in Yanwu Hall not only opened the eyes of Shui Jing and everyone else, but also established great prestige for our court, making Xiao Hanyue and other foreign countries dare not underestimate the figures of the Celestial Dynasty.
