Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Flying Kiss_1

However, before placing bets, the contestants need to first compete in horse riding, then archery. Finally, they will compete in horseback archery. Let’s see who performs best before placing the final bet.

The first event is horse riding.

Nan Feng was stumped by the first event. She had only ridden a horse twice with Ye Ge, and he was behind her, leading her. She didn’t know how to ride.

Moreover, the horse she was riding was chosen by the Emperor. It was very spirited and she simply couldn’t tame it. As soon as she got on, the horse would dash wildly. She couldn’t control it and almost fell off, drawing laughter from the ministers and concubines in the stands.

Only Xiaoqing kept encouraging Nan Feng: "Go Sister Nan Feng, Sister Nan Feng is the best, Sister Nan Feng is the best."

Regardless, Nan Feng was bound to be last in this event. The skills of the other contestants far surpassed hers, even Zhang Liangdi’s.

Especially the Emperor.

The Emperor was wearing a set of black clothes today, not the usual wide-sleeved ones, his hair tied up. He looked very clean and handsome. As soon as he went up, his concubines started cheering wildly, their voices louder than the next: "Your Majesty, come on, Your Majesty, come on!"

But the Emperor did not glance at his beloved concubines, still maintaining his cold and indifferent face, completing a whole set of horse-riding movements.

Then it was the other contestants’ turn, followed by the archery competition.

The archery competition was also standardized, requiring the use of bows and arrows supplied by the event, and aiming for a distant target.

Nan Feng didn’t seem to have practiced archery before. Those who used bows and arrows in the past were Ye Ge. She made use of her own homemade hunting tools and her Forget-Worry Arrow.

After receiving the heavy and sturdy bow and arrows, Nan Feng shot a few rounds.

She missed.

And that provoked a new round of laughter.

Nan Feng didn’t mind. She missed and that was that. Anyway, the competition was based on the final catch, not these flashy displays.

After Nan Feng, it was the Emperor’s turn. He glanced at her with a smile when taking over the bow and arrow from her. "Not feeling disheartened, are you? But you can always choose to withdraw."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Nan Feng will not withdraw," said Nan Feng before leaving the stage.

The Emperor’s archery skills were pretty good. All ten arrows hit the target, eliciting cheers and high fives from the concubines. They were so excited they practically wanted to rush up and hug him.

The final event was horseback archery.

Nan Feng wasn’t good at either, but she didn’t withdraw. Instead, she mounted the horse stubbornly and took the bow and arrows from a guard’s hand.

Only Xiaoqing was shouting from the sidelines. "Go Sister Nan Feng, go Sister Nan Feng!"

Nan Feng smiled at Xiaoqing and blew her a kiss. Xiaoqing caught it and put it on her chest.

They used to play like this in Xiangkou.

Nan Feng whipped the horse and lifted her bow and arrow.

However, if she tried to steady the horse, she could not shoot an arrow. If she could handle the bow and arrows, she couldn’t control the horse. Her comical appearance caused a round of laughter, even the Emperor was laughing.

But the Emperor thought Nan Feng was particularly cute this way.

In the end, Nan Feng flung the crossbow from her hand and pulled out an arrow from her back.

Everyone on the field was astounded.

"What is she trying to do?"

"She’s not trying to ditch the horse and shoot directly, is she?"

"Look, it’s true. She’s going to shoot the arrow barehanded."

"Is that allowed?" the crowd murmured.

Nan Feng clenched her thighs around the horse’s belly, held tight to the reins and guided the horse towards the target. When they reached it, she flung the arrow. With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow hit the bullseye right on the mark.
