Normally, Su Qingyu would definitely reject Jiang Lanyin's boring request.
But today, she obviously came with a purpose. If she didn't cooperate, how would Jiang Lanyin's plan take shape?
"How is it? Princess, do you dare to compete with your daughter?"
Seeing that Su Qingyu had not spoken for a long time, Jiang Lanyin did not hesitate to use the provocation method.
"The princess has superb martial arts skills and extraordinary riding skills. She will not dare to agree to such a small challenge."
The more Jiang Lanyin wants to drag Su Qingyu into a competition, the more it proves that this competition is full of conspiracy.
After Su Qingyu listened calmly, she curved her lips and smiled.
"Didn't Miss Jiang say that Princess Yongjia came to assassinate me and it had nothing to do with you?"
"Why do you know now that I have great martial arts skills?"
Jiang Lan paused for a moment because of the pride and excitement in his eyes, and suddenly tightened his handkerchief tightly to maintain his superficial composure.
"The Princess is joking. The reason why I know this is of course because I heard it from Her Highness the Princess herself when she went to visit Princess Yongjia."
"Nowadays, everyone in the palace knows that the princess looks weak and can be bullied, but in fact she is a heroine with strong martial arts skills!"
Su Qingyu's originally calm smile finally relaxed.
She had calculated everything, but she forgot to include it in this matter.
No, she couldn't wait until after the spring hunt.
She would have to talk to Shen Huaide about this matter soon, but she couldn't involve him anymore.
"Don't you just want to compete? I'll just accompany you."
"If you can't praise me, don't praise me. Your expression is really ugly."
Jiang Lanyin's face froze, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
But she was still very happy that Su Qingyu finally got into the dangerous situation they had prepared in advance.
She was happy that she could give Su Qingyu a ride in person!
Su Qingyu and Jiang Lanyin have always been the two beauties mentioned and even compared to each other in the capital.
Now these two beauties actually entered the hunting ground one after another, and everyone's attention was attracted by them.
For some reason, Jiang Lanyin was clearly wearing riding clothes, while Su Qingyu was wearing ordinary clothes. But everyone felt that what Su Qingyu exuded was the true heroism.
Especially her eyes were completely different from what she usually saw.
Today's Su Qingyu, the aura in her beautiful eyes is no less powerful than that of a man, with a hint of determination in her sharpness.
In such a comparison, Jiang Lanyin beside her seemed to have lost all color.
If she hadn't been wearing riding clothes, she probably wouldn't have been able to find her presence at all.
"We will start the competition again after His Majesty shoots the first arrow of the hunt."
Su Qingyu raised the corners of her lips in a half-smile.
"Miss Jiang shouldn't be in a hurry at this moment, right?"
She was speaking to Jiang Lanyin, but her eyes were scanning the scene in front of her, observing everyone's expressions.
Su Qingyu's attitude seemed to Jiang Lanyin to be contemptuous of her and not take her seriously at all.
Due to the smooth progress of the plan, Jiang Lanyin could only endure this sigh of relief.
"Of course we have to wait until spring hunting officially starts."
"As long as the princess is not in a hurry, I will naturally not be in a hurry either."
Not in a hurry?
Su Qingyu was finally willing to turn her eyes to Jiang Lanyin.
Seeing that she was only focusing on the person in the center of the field, it suddenly dawned on her that she was anxious, but she didn't seem that anxious.
This year's spring hunt is actually no different from previous years. It is because of Lu Yuncheng's participation that there is a lot more anticipation.
One by one, the young people wanted to compete with Lu Yuncheng, the former proud man of heaven, to see if Lu Yuncheng, five years after becoming a cripple, was still as arrogant and capable as before.
The girls all stared eagerly at the center of the field.
Now among the three kings in the capital, except for King Qi who has a concubine, neither King An nor King Ling has a concubine!
I heard that there were not even two side concubines or concubines in Prince Ling's palace. How could one not be eager to give it a try?
When these three princes stand together, Lu Yuncheng is superior in appearance and temperament.
The number of women who want to marry him is like crucian carp crossing the river.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Su Qingyu and Jiang Lanyin again.
Of these two women, one is the former Princess Ling, and the other is likely to be the future Princess Ling...
"This year's spring hunting, there are more clouds, I am very happy!"
Before everyone could wake up from their imaginative thoughts, they saw Emperor Ming taking the big bow handed over by others.
He had a smile on his face, and there was no sign that he was at war with the three sons in front of him in the court a few days ago.
"However, I am happy, but you young people are in danger!"
Having said this, Emperor Ming cast an approving glance at Lu Yuncheng with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Yun Cheng can ride a horse at the age of three and draw a bow at the age of five. You should have heard of his martial arts."
"In the past few years, he has been recuperating in seclusion. Now that he has recovered, you will have another opponent in this year's hunting competition!"
Emperor Ming's words soon caused a commotion. Since Emperor Ming was present, everyone did not dare to get too excited emotionally.
But when he looked at Lu Yuncheng, his eyes were different from usual.
Didn’t it mean that His Majesty and His Highness Prince Ling were already separated? A few days ago, there was a tit-for-tat confrontation in the court over the eldest prince's case.
Now it seems like this is not the case at all?
Not only did your Majesty have no intention of snubbing King Ling, but he actually showed the most appreciative attitude...
Emperor Ming seemed not to notice everyone's thoughts at all.
He touched the carvings on the big bow with his hand with great fondness, and then, with everyone's expectations, he raised his voice:
"This big bow was the weapon used by the late emperor to kill the enemy's prince during his personal campaign!"
"Today, whichever one of you can come out on top will get this big bow!"
At this moment, all doubts in everyone's minds disappeared.
Although the rewards in previous years were also generous, there has never been a time like this year when the late emperor's weapons were used as rewards!
Is this a reward for them?
This is clearly a reward for His Highness Prince Ling!
Let me ask, how many people here can compete with Lu Yuncheng in archery?
Your Majesty really has high hopes for His Highness Prince Ling!
For a time, the atmosphere of the entire scene became very subtle.
Su Qingyu could even feel Yourongyan's excitement from Jiang Lanyin.
I have to say that Emperor Ming used this move really cruelly.
With just a few words and a huge bow of extraordinary significance, everyone could think that he treated Lu Yuncheng differently from other princes.
It can also make the three Lu Yuncheng brothers separate...
From the look in King Qi's eyes and the opening and closing of King An's lips, Su Qingyu could probably guess that these two people obviously suspected that Lu Yuncheng must have done something behind their backs.
This situation is not good.
Just when Su Qingyu was a little anxious, she saw Lu Yuncheng looking into the distance and saying something softly.
She could vaguely guess that what King An said was: Brother Qi is really good at deceiving Brother Qi and I.
What Lu Yuncheng said was: Don't forget, the only thing I want to do now is to seek an explanation for my elder brother and the soldiers who died innocently!
No one else knows the status of the eldest prince in Lu Yuncheng's mind. King An and King Qi indeed know it better than anyone else.
Even if these words could not completely eliminate the suspicion of King An and King Qi, they did not let go of their doubts about Emperor Ming.
Su Qingyu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
