Chapter 500: The Final Showdown
Chapter 500: The Final Showdown
"Zhaoyan, do you feel ashamed of your mother's background?"
"Mother, do you find it tiring to take care of your son?"
"Of course not. As long as I can see you every day, I'm willing to do anything for you."
"With such a wonderful mother, Zhaoyan is fortunate in this life. How could I ever feel ashamed?"
Images of her son and their moments in the Qin Wang Mansion flashed through her mind. Chenfei smiled gently, "Well done."
Liu Qingyun was taken aback, "Hmm?"
Chenfei plucked a leaf from her shoulder, "Zhaoyan is a sensible child, but sometimes too sensible. To avoid causing me trouble, he never asks for anything. This is the first time he's asked something of me. I can do something for him too, and it feels... great."
Liu Qingyun hesitantly asked, "So... was it Ah Yan who... asked you to come and help me? How did he know I'd run into trouble?"
Chenfei, with a doting expression, said, "He doesn't know. He just doesn't want to take that chance."
Liu Qingyun cleared her throat, "I feel so embarrassed."
She was the type who would yield to gentleness but stand firm against harshness. If it were Empress Hu, she would have flipped the table, but Chenfei was so gentle and kind—
Liu Qingyun sincerely said, "I've caused you trouble, Your Highness."
Chenfei smiled, "The more trouble like this, the better."
Being able to help her son and daughter-in-law made her feel useful.
Liu Qingyun: "Er..."
Why would anyone want to cause trouble?
As they walked, Liu Qingyun sensed something amiss, "Your Highness, this isn't the way back to the palace."
Chenfei said, "I know. I want to watch Zhaoyan's competition."
Liu Qingyun asked, "Really?"
She thought those words were just said to Empress Hu and Dou Qingyi, to prevent them from causing more trouble before the competition.
Once the competition began, with the Liang Emperor present, they couldn't easily cause mischief.
Chenfei asked, "If I hadn't appeared just now, what would you have done?"
Liu Qingyun replied seriously, "I'd use Miaojiang's gu on them, then blame Dou Qingyi. After all, I was called away by her, so if anything happened, it would be her fault!"
Chenfei: "... That's also a good idea."
Liu Qingyun sighed deeply, "But that way, I'd have to put on an act, and crying is exhausting."
The crying act at the mansion had left an indelible shadow on her.
Chenfei's arrival was indeed timely.
The two, accompanied by their respective maids, headed for the viewing platform for the female relatives.
As they hadn't known Chenfei would come, there was no shaded pavilion prepared specifically for her.
Jiang Huifei invited Chenfei to sit with her.
In the Wang Mansion, Jiang Huifei and Chenfei didn't interact much; there was neither favor nor grudge between them.
This continued after entering the palace.
Jiang Huifei never competed with the Liang Emperor's women and held no resentment towards Chenfei's rise.
It was only after Nie'er and Zhao Zhao became close that her relationship with the Crown Prince's Mansion grew warmer.
Chenfei said, "Sitting here might cause you trouble."
Jiang Huifei replied nonchalantly, "If you're referring to Empress Hu, don't worry. I don't owe her anything, and she hasn't settled the score for harming Nie'er yet!"
Upon hearing this, Chenfei stopped declining and entered the shaded pavilion with Liu Qingyun.
Chenfei whispered, "Thank you for taking care of Xiaobai, Your Highness."
Jiang Huifei waved her hand, "I didn't do it for free. Your son paid, and it wasn't a small amount."
The time for the competition arrived, and everyone returned to the shaded pavilion.
The Imperial Guards were conducting the final inspection of the arrows and targets.
Ming Wang flipped open the Putuan, searching all around, "Second Brother, did you see my written agreement?"
Lu Zhaoyan asked, "What agreement?"
Ming Wang replied, "The written agreement with Hui Fei Nainai. She lost one hundred thousand taels, and I need to collect the silver from her."
Lu Zhaoyan said, "Oh, I already gave it back to her."
Ming Wang, who had been robbed, exclaimed, "..."
The riding and archery competition was the final contest, and the wu jiang generals proposed increasing the difficulty.
Ming Wang, no longer concerned about losing his silver, stood up and scolded, "Hey, you guys are a bit shameless. Who changes the difficulty at the last stage? Are you trying to let him win more rounds so he can regain the face he lost yesterday?"
Jiang Guogong stroked his beard, "Ming Wang Your Highness, that's not right. They're not a bit shameless; they're so shameless that their father opened the door for shamelessness, and they've brought shamelessness home!"
The wu jiang generals were sprayed with a face full of saliva.
The vice-commander of the Imperial Guard gritted his teeth and said, "If the Huang Changsun is afraid, he can refuse."
Ming Wang turned to Lu Yuan, "Refuse him!"
Jiang Guogong: No, let's fight, let's fight!
Lu Yuan hooked his lips, "Okay, I have no objections, but if you want to increase the difficulty, I'll do the same."
He pointed at Lu Qi, "Can he dare? If he doesn't dare, he can refuse."
The stones thrown by the wu jiang generals hit Lu Qi's feet.
The latest, smallest, and most exciting chapter is out! Read it now!
If Lu Qi refused, then today's coward would no longer be Lu Yuan.
Lu Qi said, "I agree."
In the final round, Gongsun Yanming and Zi Wu Xian Sheng were invited by the Liang Emperor to the Imperial Platform.
The two sat beside the Liang Emperor, taking in the clash between the two Qilin.
The Liang Emperor asked, "What do you two think?"
Zi Wu Xian Sheng replied, "Increase the difficulty."
Damn it, you stinky brat!
Gongsun Yanming said, "It's up to Your Majesty to decide."
The Liang Emperor said, "Since both of them agree, then we'll go with their suggestion. It's a good opportunity for the Zong to witness the unique skills of the two Huang Sun."
The Jin King nodded to General Hu.
General Hu ordered, "Bring out the Hou Yi Bow!"
Upon hearing this, the wen wu bai guan officials gasped in shock.
The Hou Yi Bow, the number one divine bow in the Southwest, was far heavier and more powerful than the three-stone bow.
General Hu continued, "After shooting all the targets, use the Hou Yi Bow to hit a copper coin a hundred steps away."
Ming Wang was stunned, "A hundred steps away with the Hou Yi Bow? This... this is impossible!"
The wen chen officials sighed.
If Huang Changsun couldn't even draw the three-stone bow, how could he manage the Hou Yi Bow?
Wasn't this clearly making things difficult for Huang Changsun?
Lu Yuan stroked his chin.
General Hu said, "If Huang Changsun feels he can't draw the Hou Yi Bow, he can use his own bow. As long as he hits the copper coin a hundred steps away, it still counts."
In theory, it still counted, but if Lu Yuan used an ordinary bow and Lu Qi used the Hou Yi Bow, it was clear who had the better skill.
Lu Yuan asked, "If I win, can I have this bow?"
The wu jiang generals laughed out loud.
He couldn't even draw the three-stone bow, and he still wanted to win?
"It's yours," General Hu said.
Lu Yuan hooked his lips, "Good, it's settled! But shooting at a copper coin is too boring."
General Hu asked seriously, "What does Huang Changsun want to shoot at?"
Lu Yuan snapped his fingers, "A kite."
The Qi King mocked, "Something that big, who can't hit it?"
Lu Yuan finished his sentence, "...string."
The Qi King was stunned.
Dudu: Finally, the difficulty is increasing! Please give Dudu a vote!
