The queen stood up, held Shen Muyun's arm, and walked towards Mei Lin.

When everyone saw the queen coming, they all saluted.

The Queen smiled and asked: "How is it? Have you ever judged whose poem is the best?"

Gu Qingyan smiled and said: "Auntie Huang, not yet, there are a few young gentlemen who are holding back their energy and want to make a splash."

Shen Chenlei looked at Gu Qingyan gratefully.He wrote slowly, just to write stunning verses that would make him stand out from the crowd.

The queen walked around the table, looking at the poems that others had completed, and commenting on them from time to time.

When she came to Prince Ning's side, the queen read the poem he had written and couldn't help but praise: "The rhymes and rhymes of both oblique and oblique are correct, and the intention is good. You are not from Daliang. It is really rare that you can write a poem like this."

Prince Ningguo saluted the queen with the etiquette of his country and said, "Thank you very much for the compliment, Empress Daliang."

At this time, Shen Chenlei's poem was finished. He was very satisfied with it and thought it would amaze everyone and become famous in one battle.

Shen Chenlei looked at the queen expectantly.

The queen smiled and nodded towards Prince Ningguo, and asked, "Are you still used to living in my Daliang?"

Prince Ningguo shook his head slightly and said: "I'm not used to it. Young people in your country like to be elegant and enjoy themselves, which is different from us Ningguo people. When we Ningguo people encounter such heavy snow, we will definitely race horses and hunt in the snow. Then That’s what young people should do.”

Gu Qingyan chuckled and said, "We also race horses and hunt."

Prince Ning said disdainfully: "Our young people are like wolves, full of vigor, and the worse the weather, the more energetic they become. You...heh, it only snows so little, and you are only willing to hide under the tent and write poems."

The young men in Daliang were a little unhappy.

A young man said: "I don't like to hear what you say. When it comes to hunting, riding and shooting, you may not be as good as us."

"Yes, we, the officials of Daliang, go hunting every year."

The queen smiled and said: "I have many talents in Daliang, both civil and military. These young gentlemen are really elegant when they are elegant, but when they mount their horses and pick up their bows, they can walk through the Yangtze with a hundred steps and are invincible."

Prince Ning looked at the fair-skinned weak young men in the tent and smiled unconvincingly: "Is there anyone who dares to compete with me today?"

Everyone looked at each other, and the tent was quiet for a moment.

Shen Chenxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me how to compete?"

Prince Ning said: "I brought ten hares today to grill you. I will release these ten hares later and let them run in the garden. Who can shoot them within one stick of incense?" Whoever has the most hares wins."

Prince Ning looked at everyone with provocative eyes and asked, "Does anyone dare to challenge?"

Prince Ningguo came to Daliang this time for peace talks and to discuss the opening of markets for trade on the border between the two countries.

Today this seems like a game, but winning or losing is related to the national prestige and dignity of the two countries.

Can't lose!

The young men hesitated for a moment.

The Ninth Prince secretly tugged on Shen Muyun's sleeves, pursed his lips towards Prince Ning, and whispered, "He is so crazy!"

Shen Muyun nodded slightly.

At this time, Shen Chenxi took a step forward.

The queen was originally worried that no one would challenge her, so she was very pleased to see this and said with a smile: "Okay, Shen Chenxi, you are one of them. Is there anyone else?"

As soon as Shen Chenxi took the lead, five more noble sons came out.

This makes seven men shooting ten hares.

The Ninth Prince was very excited and said, "I'm going to let the rabbits go!"

The seven men all took their bows and arrows and stood three feet away from the cage, ready.

Each person's arrow has a word from their name engraved on it to distinguish them.

Shen Muyun thought, among the six people in Daliang, it doesn't matter who wins, just don't let Prince Ning win.

The Ninth Prince carefully opened the door of the cage, and the hares jumped out of the cage and ran away.

Arrows shot at the rabbits, and after a while, six rabbits were hit by arrows and became immobile.

The remaining four rabbits hid.

Some hid in the rockery, some fled into the woods, and some jumped into the pavilion...

The seven men approached the rabbit cautiously, hoping to shoot it with one arrow.

When the stick of incense was about to burn out, all ten rabbits were finally shot.

Gu Qingyan went to pick up all the rabbits under the tent.

Prince Ningguo shot three, Shen Chenxi shot three, and there was another rabbit that was hit by the arrows of Prince Ningguo and Shen Chenxi at the same time.

There were three rabbits shot by other people. They had no hope of winning, so they put them aside and didn't mention them.

Prince Ningguo smiled and said: "This rabbit should be mine. I shot it first."

Shen Chenxi snorted: "I was obviously the one who shot him first."

Prince Ningguo looked displeased and said, "You are cheating!"

Shen Chenxi raised her chin: "Then how do you prove that you shot it first?"

Prince Ningguo thought about it. In the chaos just now, others may not have seen clearly.

Even if they could see clearly, they couldn't possibly treat him as a foreigner.

There was a dispute for a while.

Shen Muyun took a closer look and suddenly laughed: "Prince Ning, your arrow hit the hare's leg, and Shen Chenxi's arrow penetrated through the hare's heart. The fatal wound on the hare was shot by Shen Chenxi, so this hare , should be regarded as Shen Chenxi’s.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

Prince Ning looked at the hare carefully, glanced at Shen Chenxi helplessly, and said, "You are lucky!"

Shen Chenxi smiled and said: "I'm not lucky, I'm good at archery!"

Everyone wanted to bury Prince Ning, so they praised Shen Chenxi vigorously.

"Master Shen is amazing!"

"Young Master Shen has great archery skills, I admire him very much!"

"The eldest son of the Shen family can really say that he can cross the Yangtze River with every step and hit every target with every shot!"

"I, the great Liang man, am capable of both literary and martial arts!"

……

Shen Chenxi humbly clasped his fists towards everyone and thanked everyone, while Shen Muyun stood with a smile, feeling extremely honored.

Shen Chenlei's nose was almost crooked with anger!

At this moment, who would care about his carefully written poems? !

His father asked him to show off his talents and become famous. It was clear that he would soon be praised by the queen herself, but Shen Chenxi stole the spotlight!

The queen was in a good mood and said, "Come here, let me give you a jade pendant for the eldest son of the Shen family!"

The queen originally planned to give this jade pendant to the person who won the first prize in the poetry competition.At this moment, poetry competitions and other things are not important. Naturally, the reward must be given to Shen Chenxi who has brought glory to the country.

Prince Ning didn't expect that one of these dudes could be so good at archery. He put aside Yelang's arrogance and didn't dare to show his arrogance anymore.

After the snow appreciation banquet was over, Shen Muyun told Gu Qingyan that he wanted to go back to Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion with Shen Chenxi.

Gu Qingyan was a little unhappy, but looked at Shen Chenxi beside him and nodded in agreement.

Zhongyongbo Mansion has received the news in advance.

The eunuch came to the house and gave Uncle Zhongyong a sword, saying that it was given by the Queen to Young Master Shen.

After the eunuch left, Shen Qishan was very excited and said repeatedly: "My Lei'er is really capable, so I told him to show off his talents, and he won the favor of the Queen!"
