Episode 8: Han Ziqing unexpectedly wins
Han Ziqing fell behind a lot in the first half, and her leg injury was still playing a role. Everyone present thought Chu Feiyan would be the final winner, but unexpectedly, Han Ziqing quickly adjusted her state, and then gradually narrowed the distance with Chu Feiyan, and even caught up with her, and then surpassed Chu Feiyan when crossing the obstacle.
Everyone was very surprised, but Han Ziqing continued to whip, and finally won the first game smoothly! Everyone was happy for her, only Jun Beiyue noticed Han Ziqing’s leg injury, and then took her back to the tent.
After sending her away, he asked her what happened to her leg injury. Han Ziqing said that she bumped into it while riding a horse, but Jun Beiyue saw that it was a scar left after fighting with someone. Han Ziqing avoided talking about it, but the cold sweat on her head kept coming out.
Finally, Han Ziqing fainted. Jun Beiyue immediately asked Lao Gu to come and treat Han Ziqing, but found that Han Ziqing had bandaged it before. The fourth prince saw that Han Ziqing really hid a lot of things from him.
At this time, Eunuch Yin came to announce the content of the written test at night, saying that it was riding a horse and shooting incense. Jun Beiyue asked Han Ziqing if she could do it. Han Ziqing said that she couldn’t, and Jun Beiyue said that she wanted to see what else she had hidden from him!
The king listened to the piano of Li Ge Gongzi under the introduction of the tenth son, and exclaimed that it was wonderful. The tenth son also followed the instructions of the second son and said in front of the king that he had invited the person.
The king was very happy. Later, the queen came and the tenth stepped down. The queen brought the iron arrows commonly used by the people of Xiling and said that she would use them for the competition. At first, the king was worried that Jun Beiyue would feel unfair.
The queen made it clear that this would dampen Jun Beiyue’s spirit, so the king agreed. The queen also whispered something else in the king’s ear, thinking that she would definitely hit Jun Beiyue this time.
The competition came soon, but the king temporarily changed the rules and said that he would not shoot incense sticks but copper coins instead. Whoever could shoot the smallest copper wire would win. Chu Feiyan was surprised.
The competition officially began. Both of them tried their best. Han Ziqing shot the copper coin first, but before hitting the target, Chu Feiyan’s arrow also shot up and hit Han Ziqing’s arrow. In the end, it depended on the score on the target. Although someone spoke up for Han Ziqing, it did not change the result of Chu Feiyan’s victory!
The next step was the written test. Han Ziqing was really unsure, so she went to Jun Beiyue for help. Jun Beiyue wanted to teach her how to write poetry, but Han Ziqing said she didn’t know how, so she just fooled around and left.
As a result, when the literary test came, Lao Shi suggested that Master Li Ge set the questions, and the king agreed.
In the end, the competition was about the piano skills. Master Li Ge played a new song, and the two needed to play together. Master Li Ge’s skills were superb, and the two did not keep up in the first round. In the second round, Chu Feiyan played blindly, and everyone sighed that she could keep up, but Han Ziqing still did not make a move.
However, she always remembered the scene of Han Ziqing’s mother teaching her to play the piano in her mind. Han Ziqing seemed to have the score of this song in her memory. Han Ziqing couldn’t help but doubt that she could play it. In the third round, Han Ziqing finally made a move. Everyone sighed that the fourth princess was proficient in the piano.
Chu Feiyan didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, she had a result in her mind, but Master Li Ge announced that Han Ziqing won. The two tied in the first round, and Han Ziqing won the second and third rounds because the second round was not suitable for playing together. It was right for Han Ziqing not to make a move!
So Jun Beiyue urged the king to announce the final result, which was the fourth princess won! The Xiling siblings were frustrated and stood up to leave. Han Ziqing directly reminded Jun Beiyue to fulfill his promise, so Chu Tiange suppressed his emotions and wrote the contract.
Jun Beiyue did not forget to remind him to seal it! The second son quietly found Li Ge and asked him why he did not judge the results according to his instructions. Li Ge said that he only judged based on his piano skills.
What everyone didn’t know was that the second son met Chu Tiange last night and promised that the armored soldiers of Xiling could enter the city through the secret passage!
