Qiu Muyun smiled gently, stood up and accompanied the Queen Mother.

"You don't have to be formal, just sit and watch with the mourners." The Empress Dowager took Qiu Muyun's hand and said with a smile.

Qiu Muyun nodded.

The first round of the competition officially began.

The eldest prince and Tong Xue and others lined up in turn, standing three feet away from the scarecrow.

"Shoot!" The Queen Mother was cold, and everyone pulled their bows and released the strings, only to see a few cold lights flashing, and the "whoosh" sound of arrows inserting into the scarecrow came from one after another.

Tong Xue raised her eyes and saw that the arrow she shot could not sink into the scarecrow's jaw, and if she deviated by two inches, she was afraid that she would not be able to pierce the scarecrow.

She rubbed her aching arm, knowing that she had underestimated the tension of the bow, so she pulled it so hard that she could pull the bow a little, and the slight majesty of the lake caused the arrow to be blocked, so that it would play out of order.

But there was one more unlucky than her.

The third prince's scarecrow's ears swooped into the water.

"Imperial grandmother, this doesn't count!" The third prince saw that he was the only one who missed the target, and his fleshy little face turned red, "My grandson is young and his arm strength is weak, so he shouldn't stand so far!" He said in a perceptive voice.

The Queen Mother glanced at no one.

The nine-year-old third prince is extremely difficult to lift a bow and arrow and shoot the ground with a good appearance.

As for Tong Xue, who has just passed her eleventh birthday, she has begun to draw strips, and her body has begun to look like a girl.

As for the fourteen-year-old Li Ling, with the county lord of Jiahe who is about to leave the cabinet, and the eldest prince. Looking a little different, the faces of the three of them were full of spirit and radiance, like eagles ready to go, yearning for a higher and wider sky.

"It's the mourning family's fault." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I don't think this grandson can't afford to lose, or he is vexatious, but I think he is responsive, extremely straightforward and cute." ”

"In that case, you take two steps forward. Miss Tong can take a step forward? ”

The third prince glanced at the arrow shot by Tong Xue. Seeing that there was not much difference from himself, he was finally comforted in his heart, and then turned his head to look up at Tong Xue, and there was a little disdain in his eyes.

The five are arranged in order of tallness. The three princes lined up in front of the scarecrow closest to the pavilion. Tong Xue was on his right.

"Miss Tong is half a head taller than me." He muttered discontentedly.

Tong Xue was forced to look at an eight-year-old child. The smile that pretended to be innocent and ignorant couldn't be put on.

She looked at the third prince with a smile and said, "In this case, the courtiers will move forward half a step. so as not to betray the queen mother's kindness. ”

The third prince nodded with satisfaction.

The eldest prince stood on the outermost side of the group, and looked at the past, thinking that he had shot the scarecrow in the mouth enough, but as a result, the lord of Jiahe and Li Ling, one shot in the left eye, and the other shot in the nose, the eldest prince had to seek comfort in the two small bodies, if Tong Xue stood next to him, he would have already laughed away, at this time, as long as he took his gaze, he laughed at her up and down.

Tong Xue directly ignored it, took out the second arrow from the side, put it on the bow, and got ready.

"Shoot!" The Queen Mother ordered again.

This time, Tong Xue took a deep breath, slowly pulled the bow, held her breath and slowly pulled the bow body to the fullest possible perfection, and then exhaled while letting go of her hand suddenly.

She heard the arrows in her ears like a rising lion, whistling forward, then spotting her target and nailing it firmly to where she wanted it to go......

"Hit!" Tong Xue saw that the arrow went straight through her nose, and jumped a little excitedly.

Then her smile froze.

The arrow not only pierced the scarecrow's nose, but also pierced the entire scarecrow, and continued to fly forward, and finally landed at Taichu Lake like the first arrow shot by the third prince.

"Hey, hey! I really can't see it, Miss Tong looked at the weak and couldn't help it, she never thought that she was born with divine power! It would be good if it was a man, it would be a pillar of my Dayue Dynasty in the future! ”

When the eldest prince saw the arrow fly out, his heart was almost excited to fly with it. The whole person couldn't help but smile at Tong Xue with a smile.

Who knew that happiness was extremely sad, and his arrow also suffered the same fate as Tong Xue.

The eldest prince was dumbfounded.

shouted into the pavilion, "Imperial grandmother, this scarecrow is too unsturdy!" The grandson's arrow obviously hit the mouth, but it flew out like this! ”

The Queen Mother was busy ordering the little eunuch to come forward to check.

Seeing that this was the case, he ordered the second prince to add one point to the eldest prince.

"Imperial Grandmother!" The eldest prince pointed at Tong Xue's scarecrow, "Tong Da's arrow was shot the same as his grandson!" You'll have to add a point to her, too! ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and did not forget to say a big joke, "It's still your eyes, these five arrows are shot together, and the mourning family is all gone!" ”

Tong Xue saw that although this dumbfounded prince was working against him everywhere for some reason, he still had a conscience, so she pursed her lips and smiled at him.

Who knew that the eldest prince actually snorted from his nostrils, and then tilted his head to the side.

Tong Xue picked up the arrow and put on the bowstring, this time the strength was just right, and the arrow did not penetrate the scarecrow again.

In the next two rounds, all five hits.

Among them, Li Ling's five arrows are the most exquisite, with two carrots, two pompoms, and a white radish slice inserted into them.

The second is the eldest prince, except for the second arrow piercing, the rest are also located in the nose, eyes and mouth.

In this way, Li Ling won the first place.

The Queen Mother happily bestowed the heaviest reward on her.

The third prince is small and his strength is consumed quickly, but he has not had a good time, so he rolled his eyes, stepped forward and hugged the arm of the queen mother and said: "Ancestor, grandson has not had enough fun to see the eldest brother!" This scarecrow won't move, it's too boring to shoot them! It would be so much fun to catch a few birds and fly them in the sky and let them shoot them down! ”

The three princes here don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and they are trying to pry the queen mother, and the big prince over there walked up to Tong Xue majestically, "Tong Da, you lost, you said that you would make cage pastries for the palace!" ”

Tong Xue's eyes widened and she looked at him innocently, "May I ask if His Highness has won the first place?" ”

The eldest prince was choked for a moment, and he craned his neck more and more, "The score of this palace is above you!" ”

Tong Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "So what?" His Highness received the same reward as his courtiers. ”

The eldest prince choked again, and a face that was not very handsome suddenly darkened, and he had the potential to play Bao Gong.

At this moment, he heard the third prince holding the arm of the queen mother with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Ancestor, imperial grandmother, you should be a grandson, do you think the eldest brother still wants to compete with Miss Tong again?" ”

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!" The eldest prince glared at Tong Xuedao angrily.

"Ancestor, look, my grandson didn't lie to you!" The third prince continued his good ability to fan the flames.

The Queen Mother was so worn that she had no choice, and looked at the county lord of Jiahe and Li Ling, "Can Jiahe and Miss Li be compared?" ”

The county lord of Jiahe shook his head, "My grandson is a little tired, so I still sit down and accompany my ancestor to eat melon seeds and drink tea." ”

Li Ling raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "The courtiers will accompany them to the end." ”

The Queen Mother directly ignored Tong Xue's opinion, and said to the eunuch on the side: "Go to the Rare Bird Division and pick up the cheap eagle harrier and catch twenty." (To be continued......)
