But how could she know?

Concubine De suddenly turned her head and shot her eyes like an arrow in the direction of Cao Qianqian. However, she saw that Cao Qianqian's face turned a little pale, and her eyes were staring at Xie Xuan with a look of ghosting. Concubine De shook her head vigorously in her heart.

No! It can't be Cao Qianqian.

Because even Cao Qianqian may not know her overall plan, how can she tell Xie Xuan?

Besides, Cao Qianqian should be the person who is the least willing to watch Xie Xuan show off at this spring banquet besides herself? What kind of affection is like sisters? Concubine De knows better than anyone else how fragile the relationship between women is. Sometimes, with just a light blow, it can be broken.

Today's sisters are likely to be tomorrow's enemies.

Not to mention her plan, Cao Qianqian didn't know. Even if she knew, she might not tell Xie Xuan.

So, it was impossible for her. So... Why did Xie Xuan make these preparations so soon today? Naturally, it was impossible for her to be a coincidence.

Looking at Xie Xuan, who was standing in the sun, hidden by the spring flowers in the garden and smiling like a flower, Concubine De's pair of peach blossom eyes condensed. Looking at Xie Xuan's eyes, in addition to being sharp, there was also a faint warning.

At this time, the pagoda made of flowers had been erected. Cao Qianqian and Xie Xuan walked into the circle with red coil under the instructions of King Ning. The circle was not big, but just a square size. It would be small. It would be enough if the two girls stood obediently, but if someone had bad intentions, they might be able to squeeze the other party out of the circle.

According to the rules of the competition, there is no need to compete for this arrow. Those who are squeezed out of the circle will lose directly.

Cao Qianqian and Xie Xuan looked at each other and smiled. After a closer look, it was not difficult to see that Xie Xuan was truly calm, but Cao Qianqian unconsciously avoided her eyes, either guilty or weak, but she had a clear understanding of her superiority.

As for the bows they held in their hands, they looked a bit similar. They were small and suitable for girls' home use. They were not exquisite. They were not a pleasing and enjoyable thing. Moreover, they were not new objects. Especially the one in Xie Xuan's hand, the black paint on the bow arm had already fallen a lot. At first glance, they were often used.

The two girls who changed into riding uniforms were two more cool than usual, which made people who were used to seeing the soft and soft appearance of noble girls in the capital lit up. They were the daughters of civil officials from meritorious families in the past, and they were secretly talking about how they looked very good in dressing up like this.

King Ning raised his order, Xie Xuan and Cao Qianqian followed the rules before the men's competition and bowed to each other, and each stood facing the flower pagoda.

The eunuchs held two quiver launchers, all of which were full of feather arrows. However, the arrow feathers were painted in different colors, Xie Xuan's was red, and Cao Qianqian's was blue.

With a gong sounded, Emperor Hongxu walked up and threw an iron ring into the air forcefully. Almost at the same time, Xie Xuan and Cao Qianqian moved.

But the difference is that Xie Xuan actually shot two arrows at the same time, and it shot directly at the top of the pagoda...

"Pai Pa" sound, Xie Xuan and Cao Qianqian's arrows had hit the target, and then another wave of arrows...

It is also an arrow that is shot without any silence.

At this moment, no matter whether the layman who was watching the fun or the expert who was watching the tricks, he would never dare to treat this competition as a stage play. Especially these two women, regardless of whether they were prepared or not, their archery skills were unquestionable.

However, the iron ring was only a short time from throwing to landing, but unfortunately... such a wonderful game was about to end in the blink of an eye.

Unexpectedly, just as the iron ring was about to land, Ning Wang had even cleared his throat and was about to announce the end of the competition, Xie Xuan rolled the arrow, but pulled it backwards and shot the arrow in the opposite direction to the pagoda...

With a "kneel" sound, everyone realized that she had shot the arrow at the falling iron ring. Under the reaction force of the arrow, the iron ring flew upward again, and everyone was in an uproar.

Xie Xuan undoubtedly bought some more time for this move, but this time was not only for her, but also for Cao Qianqian... Just as she was busy shooting the iron ring, Cao Qianqian took advantage of the gap and shot two more flowers.

In everyone's opinion, Xie Xuan's move just now was really not smart. After all, she had already taken the lead in the start of shooting two arrows at the same time. Even if the iron ring landed immediately, she would probably win. Now, this advantage was probably ruined by her. Whoever lost and who would win would not be clear.

With a crisp sound of "When", the iron ring fell to the ground and the competition was officially over.

Xie Xuan put down the bow in her hand, slowly took the ring on her hand, and never looked behind her, as if she had never taken the results of the competition seriously.

Over there, the eunuch had already rushed over to pick up arrows and flowers, and everyone present could not help but look there.

After a while, the two eunuchs brought over the arrows wearing flowers and classified different colors, but the result was surprising.

"It's actually a draw?" Ning Wang couldn't help but say in surprise.

Xie Xuan did not look strange at all. The others were surprised by the coincidence of this matter, but Cao Qianqian and Li Yong looked at Xie Xuan at the same time, and they both frowned involuntarily.

"Is there no winner?" Emperor Hong Xu smiled happily, "Although there is no winner, I have to say that today, I have learned the style of the daughter of the general. Xie Qing and Cao Qing are both lucky! I don't know which family can be lucky to have such a woman."

Emperor Hongxu's words made everyone's hearts thrilled. This is the purpose of today's spring banquet!

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that this Crown Princess is probably Yao Qianyun. As for the candidate for Princess Yu, it is most likely to be between Cao Qianqian and Xie Xuan. At first, there were still many people who were watching the fun, thinking that the two sisters who were like each other would be rebellious. Now, although they have not waited for a big fight, the public competition is almost the same.

However, I thought this competition had a different meaning. After all, Concubine De proposed it, but this competition was a draw and failed to decide the outcome. I wonder what to say?

Everyone couldn't help but quietly erected their ears.

The other people who were very concerned about this matter couldn't help but change their expressions slightly and looked at Emperor Hongxu.
