"Little girl, how can you be so arrogant?! Since that's the case, I'll compete with you personally! He wielded his saber and shot arrows! You can choose whatever you want!" The Emperor felt that his dignity was no longer safe. A woman dared to call him out.
"Let's compete then. Why don't we compete in archery!”Lan Fu blurted out.
"Someone come! Arrows and targets!" The Emperor was straightforward and ordered the servants to bring bows and arrows without a second word.
To make it convenient and quick, the Emperor had people set the target in the palace and removed all the tables for the banquet.
The ministers retreated for their own safety and hid on both sides, afraid that the arrows of the two would fly to them.
As for Tuoba Qian, he had unknowingly moved closer to Lan Fu. Tuoba Qian thought that Lan Fu was just a woman. Even if the Emperor's archery skills were not very exquisite, it was more than enough to deal with Lan Fu.
On the other hand, Lan Fu couldn't lose, and neither could he win. This kind of competition made Tuoba Qian worried. However, since that was the case, Tuoba Qian decided to give Lan Fu some pointers. If he could win, that would be the best outcome!
At this time, the servant girl Qiu Ruo also came over. Qiu Ruo grew up with Lan Fu's mother and could be said to be eating the food in the residence and doing the things in the residence. There was nothing that Qiu Ruo did not understand.
When Lan Fu was about to be married into Tuoba Qian's residence, Lan Fu's mother had asked Qiu Ruo to come along with Lan Fu so that she could help Lan Fu sort out some matters. Although Qiu Ruo was young, she was already several times more knowledgeable than Lan Fu.
Seeing that Lan Fu was actually arguing with the Emperor, Qiu Ruo was almost scared out of her wits. She had to take good care of her Miss!
Qiu Ruo came to Lan Fu's side and said anxiously,""Miss, why are you so reckless? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your parents. If the emperor punishes you today, your parents will be heartbroken!
So miss, you better put in some good words for the emperor! Don't continue to force yourself!"
Hearing Qiu Ruo's words, Lan Fu felt irritated and said to Qiu Ruo impatiently,""I have my own plans for this matter. I don't need you to interfere. This is my order now. If you still treat me as your young miss, then stand aside obediently.
Wait for my triumphant return!"
Lan Fu answered Qiu Ruo with certainty. Lan Fu was quite confident in her skills. Lan Fu, who was used to hearing Qiu Ruo's long-winded words, was even more upset and didn't want to continue to tangle with Qiu Ruo.
" Miss..." Qiu Ruo couldn't help but worry. She looked at Lan Fu.
"Alright! I don't want to say it again!" Lan Fu angrily interrupted Qiu Ruo, who was about to say something.
Qiu Ruo guessed that Lan Fu was really angry, so she retreated to the side resentfully and waited for Lan Fu to compete in archery.
Qiu Ruo had grown up with Lan Fu, so she knew Lan Fu's character very well. It was because of this that Qiu Ruo gave up persuading Lan Fu not to continue being stubborn.
Lan Fu was such a tenacious woman. She had already made up her mind to do something, so she had to do her best to complete it.
A group of more than ten people had set up five targets for the Emperor and Lan Fu. After tidying up the simple arena, the guards left.
However, after a while, the two of them walked in again and bowed. At the same time, they were holding many bows and arrows in their hands.
There were big and small ones, bulky ones, and exquisite ones.
The Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction, then turned around and continued to talk to Lan Fu,""How is it? Is there a bow that you're satisfied with? You're a woman, so I'll let you choose first!”
"Does the emperor mean that he still looks down on us women? Why don't we let the emperor choose first! Otherwise, even if I win, it won't be glorious!”Lan Fu gave the Emperor the chance to choose his bow first.
One had to know that if the quality of the bow and arrows in the hands of people with similar strength was superior, the chances of winning would also increase greatly!
However, the emperor only slightly curled the corners of his mouth. The emperor believed that no matter what bow he used, winning was a certainty for him.
Thus, the Emperor did not continue to be modest. He walked to the front of the two guards and glanced at them before choosing a mid-quality bow.
The Emperor chose the bow and arrow and glanced at Lan Fu, indicating that Lan Fu had chosen the bow and arrow that she liked.
To everyone's surprise, Lan Fu actually picked the heaviest bow. This bow was almost entirely made of bronze. Even if it was a man, not many would be able to control it well!
The emperor also opened his mouth slightly. Could it be that this Murong Lanfu really had some tricks up her sleeve?
However, the Emperor did not think too much about it. He just calmly looked at the target. Archery required a quiet environment, but more importantly, one's state of mind.
When Lady Situ saw Lan Fu pick up the final bow and arrow, she couldn't help but laugh and said to Consort Shu,"You overestimate yourself…I want to see how you can pull this bow and arrow!”
"Let me fire the first arrow! Murong Fujin, do you have any objections?”After the Empress finished speaking, she looked down at Lan Fu as if this was an order and not a request. This was the majesty of the Emperor.
"Please, Your Majesty!" Lan Fu bowed and respectfully asked the Emperor to shoot the first arrow.
As he spoke, the Emperor had already drawn the bow in his hand, and the arrow was already on the string. As a prince, Taba Qian was very familiar with this kind of thing. With just a glance, he could predict that the Emperor's arrow would definitely win.
As Tuoba Qian had expected, after the Emperor released his grip, the arrow that was shot out really hit the bullseye!
The ministers 'applause suddenly became more enthusiastic than ever. Perhaps there was too much flattery mixed in.
The Emperor was even more arrogant. After turning around, he looked at Lan Fu and said,"How is it? It's your turn."
Lan Fu didn't care if the emperor's shot was accurate or not. Instead, she was trying hard to let go of her mentality and let herself perform to the best of her abilities.
Now, Lan Fu's mind was filled with scenes of archery when she was with her father. Lanford's eyes were tightly shut, but the bow in his hand was already raised.
"Why didn't he open his eyes…Is she going to shoot with her eyes closed?!”
"I don't think so. Could it be that she felt that she could no longer defeat the emperor, so she gave up on herself?”
When the people below saw Lanfu's actions, they could not help but start discussing and guessing Lanfu's intentions.
Lan Fu moved his body and walked quickly to the target. Then, he pulled the bowstring of the bow in his hand.
