The Fourth Lady

Chapter 52 Horseback Archery III

Once Chunyuan Princess has spoken, who would dare to object.

After receiving the order from his father, Cui Hanqun could only silently pray to himself as he got on the

horse. And on his head, he wore the same apple that Qingyan had wore.

After Qingyan got on the horse, she lowered her body and set five arrows onto the bow. Only hearing

the sound of the wind, all five arrows shot out and hit bullseye on the moving targets. She then put

another five arrows on to the bow and shot again in one fell swoop.

Seeing the arrows flying at him, Cui Hanqun tried to get the horse to run in panic without having a

second thought, but unfortunately the horse ended up getting frightened. Just as Cui Hanqun landed on All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

the ground, a single arrow firmly shot throw the apple on his head.

And as for Cui Hanqun, who fell off the horse, he was completely drenched for some reason. Seeing

Cui Hanqun dripping cold sweat from his forehead, the judge could only helplessly shake his heads.

"Princess, this match is Miss Su's victory." The judges look to Chunyuan Princess and reported.

"Sir Liu, what happen to young master Cui just now, for you to make that kind of expression?" Murong

Jingxuan look to the judge smiling, "Could it be that something bad happened?"

Sir Liu, hearing Murong Jingxuan's question, could only tell him what just had happened.

In short, Cui Hanqun had wet himself.

When this was heard, everyone present all burst into laughter; especially Murong Jingxuan, who was

completely out of breath. Even Chunyuan Princess displayed a rare faint smile on her face.

At that moment, Cui Chujun could only swiftly leave the talent conference with his son and daughter.

"Yan'er, your performance today was spectacular. I definitely have to reward you." With that said,

Chunyuan removed the bracelet around her wrist.

She called Qingyan over to her side and slipped the red colored jade bracelet on her. "Yan'er, this

bracelet was a gift from the Xianyi Empress. I've worn it for more than 10 years now. If you don't mind

it, I'll give it to you as a greeting gift."

As she stared at that red jade bracelet, Qingyan felt as if she wanted to cry. This jade bracelet that was

made from blood jade, after everything its been through, in the end, returned to her hand once more.

She held the bracelet on her wrist and bowed to Chunyuan, "Yan'er thanks your Highness for such

love."

"Good good good, I just love this personality of yours." Chunyuan said as she held her hand. "I'll pick a

date to go the to palace to have your other rewards granted."

Freedom of marriage, something so many girls yearned for. Of course, this was once Qingyan's dream

as well.

But ultimately, because of a political marriage, she fell into the cage of fate in the end.

Thus, in this incarnation, she plans to never wed again, never to trust anyone ever again.

"Thank you, your Highness."

"Yan'er, since I'm slightly a bit older than you, if you don't mind, you can call me big sister." When Mu

Zhimin turned to Qingyan, she also had a serious look on her face.

Qingyan faced Mu Zhimin and let out a warm smile, "Big sister."

At last, the talent conference closed its curtains with Qingyan winning first place. This was a result that

no one had anticipated at the time. Many of those princes had also lost quite a bit of money. In the end,

the winners were naturally Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen.

"Miss Su, I'm a man of my words. Since you won the match, I will bestow you this small horse."

Xuanyuan Yuze looked to the small horse and said in a serious tone.

"Qingyan didn't disappoint your expectations and won by luck. Many thanks your Highness for the gift."

When Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuze, she spoke with an indifferent tone.

Although there wasn't the slightest bit of disrespect in her manner of speaking, you could still feel the

distance in her voice.

When Murong Jingxuan had interacted with her in the past, he'd never had that feeling. In other words,

subconsciously, Su Qingyan was still willing to trust him. When he thought of this, he happily smiled to

himself.

To be able to be trusted by the girl he likes was just great.

"Yan'er, I just got from the Fourth Prince a Azure Dragon Falling Crescent sword, how about I give it to

you as a gift?" Murong Jingxuan said, as he appeared before her. That appearance of his was really

like that of a street thug.

"If Shizi is willing to part with it, then Yan'er has no reason not to accept it." When Qingyan looked to

him, she had a smirk on her face. "I hope Shizi won't forget when the time comes."

"Naturally it won't be forgotten." Xuanyuan Yuzhen walked up to Qingyan and slowly spoke, "After all,

today's talent conference was quite an experience for everyone."

"Thank you Fourth Prince for the praises. I was just lucky to win." Qingyan thanked Xuanyuan Yuzhen,

resuming the indifferent tone from earlier.

"Did Miss Su learn horseback archery before?" Xuanyuan Yuze looked to her and asked in a gentle

manner.

Qingyan turned to him and shook her head, "No, I've only seen elder brother practice it before."

Liar! This was the first thing Murong Jingxuan thought of, but he didn't refute what she said out loud.

"Yan'er, why don't you stay here at Xiexiu Hall and have dinner with me tonight?" Chunyuan look to her

smiling.

"Thank you, your Highness. Qingyan is happy to oblige." When she turned to face Chunyuan, she had

a faint smile on her face.

This year's talent conference practically became Su Qingyan's personal stage. Not only did she win

first place, but she also obtained two

When all the Princes dispersed, Murong Jingxuan walked up next to Chunyuan grinning, "Great Aunt,

how about tonight, I stay here as well."

Mu Zhimin knew what kind of idea Murong Jingxuan was having and replied smiling, "Brother Jingxuan,

now that you have a beauty at your side, you've completely forgotten about all those little lovers of

yours from before."

"Big sister is right, those little lovers of yours, I'm afraid, will be disappointed." Qingyan's gaze also

turned to a look of disdain.

Seeing that look in her eyes, Murong Jingxuan instead mischievously smiled, "Great Aunt, you still

haven't answered me."

Chunyuan knew what Murong Jingxuan was thinking of and reluctantly shook her head, "When have I

ever refused you."

With that said, Murong Jingxuan secretly gave Qingyan a thumbs up, as if he'd already won this game.

Seeing him like that, Qingyan helplessly shook her head.

She recalled that many years ago, there was once a man, who was as gentle as water, that also

treated her like that.

He would always affectionately call her name by her ear, "Little Yan'er."

He would always like to pull her hand along, traversing every corner of the world.

Qingyan felt everything go dark before her eyes, completely losing her conscious.

Seeing Qingyan collapsing, Chunyuan instinctively cried out, "Yan'er!"

Murong Jingxuan immediately called for Chonglou to check on her. Qingyan's situation, while

Chunyuan and Mu Zhimin were oblivious to it, Murong Jingxuan knew of it very well.

Chonglou saw the girl lying on the bed and turned to the other three standing to the side respectfully,

"Master, the poison in Miss Su's body has began to intensify again. The task of searching for the seven

toxins have already been arranged."
