530 The Cheer team

The orange sun lit up the sky of the Peony field. The hot air that afternoon made the sweat of the competition participants flow like a river. In the final match that day, the Crown Prince of Yue Yang, Luo Xiang, Lo Yi and Hu Bo entered the final, as one would expect if the three of them were very strong and dominated in every match.

Luo Xiang’s big horse was already snorting impatiently towards the centre of the field, where the last match of the day was riding at high speed around the field while shooting arrows in all directions with targets in the middle of the field. Arrows would shoot into small holes, made on a large round object made of black iron that surrounds the target in the centre, on which hangs a small bell with a fairly loud sound. Any holes that are no larger than the tip of the arrow will continue to move. If the arrow misses the hole, it will bounce back towards the shooter, lucky if they can catch it or otherwise the small sharp arrow will be scattered towards the spectator seats on the side of the field. And every shot that hit the bell would make a sound loud enough for everyone to know that the sharp arrow had hit the target.

The princes have their own bow and arrow, the standard size allowed for that day’s competition is no smaller than the circumference of their shoulders, and the sharp arrowhead has also been determined according to the size determined by the committee.

Luo Xiang couldn’t wait to end the match, he was itching to hug his concubine who was cheering on the sidelines with his maids.

“Come on Your Majesty! Your Majesty can do it! Your Majesty is amazing! Yeay yeay! Your Majesty is great!”

Bai Ying carried two things that were none other than beautiful flower arrangements and leaves in both hands and moved to the left and to the right, his two maids follows his every moves, although both of them looked a bit embarrassed to have to sway like that, Concubine Hua had already said if they didn’t want to join him they would get the worst punishment from concubine Hua, which had to chew a bowl of raw chillies.

Luo Xiang tried to stop himself from laughing, his concubine was so adorable, but isn’t that kid outrageous? He shouldn’t be showing his adorable act in public, his cuteness is only he’s.

“Hehehe that little concubine is very cute, look at his face, he wears a rosy polish on his cheeks, ouch such an adorable,” said Hu Bo. Lo Yi who saw Bai Ying couldn’t even take his eyes off him, that kid did make everyone happy to see him.

“Hehehe yeah, he’s so cute” Lo Yi still had time to imagine Bai Ying’s sweet and cute face carrying the flower arrangement and swaying nearby, looking at him with a seductive gaze and touching his body, his face looks so beautiful in the warm light.

.....

“Ahem!” Crown Prince Luo Xiang’s voice interrupted the reverie of the two Crown Princes beside him. Impudent, he thought, how can those two think wildly about his concubines, especially Lo Yi, Luo Xiang waved his hand at Bei Yau who was standing not far beside him. The young bodyguard approached and Luo Xiang whispered something to him, the young bodyguard nodded and backed away slowly while the match was about to start.

The Queen who was sitting not far from the concubines looked at Bai Ying and couldn’t hide her smile.

“That kid is so adorable, and where did he get that flower arrangement from? He’s full of energy and creativity.”

Meanwhile, Princes Chai Ni who was sitting beside the Queen pulled her lips to look at Bai Ying sarcastically.

“That shameless uncivilized country boy, didn’t anyone say told him how to act like a concubine and an authoritative King?”

Lan er and Fan er who sat behind the Queen glanced at each other when they heard the insinuation of the beautiful princess in dreamy clothes, it was said to be Dai Yang’s official state attire.

“Ouch sis, why suddenly I feel a bit cold? The wind is blowing through my clothes, should I ask Lu er to get me another coat huh?” said Lan er.

Fan er glanced at Chai Ni’s clothes, which were so thin it showed her curves.

“Sister, you such a lame, the air is so hot like this, and you feel cold instead, can’t you see that other people can only wear just a piece of thin cloth, look at you, your clothes are layers, don’t make me embarrassed, lousy” she was deliberately talking with a loud voice so that it reached to Chai Ni’s ears who was sitting in front of them, of course, the Princess didn’t move much, even though she accidentally pulled her collar to cover her smooth shoulders.

“Yeah I think that’s not a bad idea, sis, we have to learn how to dress in thin, and attractive sexy dresses, men really like women with thin clothes”

Fan Er nodded.

“Yeah, right, of course, it is more interesting.”

The Queen, who pretended not to hear anything, couldn’t hide a smile on her lips and covered her mouth, those concubines really cute.

“Ahem, look, looks like it’s about to start.”

On Bai Ying’s seat which was a bit far beside his two older sisters, after Bei Yau approached, Bai Ying and his maids sat back in their seats, of course, while grumbling.

“What’s wrong with that Guard Bei? We can’t do this and that as we pleased, such a boring,” he said as he sat back in his chair.

Yan poured tea into the cup in front of Bai Ying. While Bi waved the fan because the air was quite hot at that time.

“Here, Your Majesty, let’s have a drink”

“Your Majesty, maybe Guard Bei mean good, the air is indeed very hot, Your Majesty can be tired from moving too much, we must save our energy, Your Majesty,” said Bi.

Yan nodded, she took out something from a small pouch to put Concubine Hua’s necessities including his handkerchief.

“That’s right Your Majesty, look at Your Majesty, it’s sweating a lot”

Bai Ying let his concubine help him dry the sweat that fell on his forehead, the two of them were like his older sisters who were allowed to touch him here and there, while his eyes couldn’t take his eyes off the centre of the field where the match about to start.

“Gong!!” the sound of the gong sounded, and immediately the round object surrounding the target in the centre of the field rotated, the round object made of black iron had small holes where arrows had to go through the hole in order to hit the target, and it was not an easy task.

The sound of the black iron spinning itself was loud enough coupled with the galloping of the horse’s hooves that circled around it.

Drap Drap Drap.

Bai Ying couldn’t sit still, he held his breath looking at the Crown Prince who was on a high-speed horse and still pulling his bow towards the rotating iron, if the arrow missed it would likely hit the black iron and shot back towards the participants, if they don’t catch it then the arrow will of course shoot towards the audience.

“Your Majesty, you can do it!” Bai Ying cheers.

Luo Xiang and Hu Bo drew bows at the same time.

Sheets!

Luo Xiang’s small arrow shot at high speed as if it could bend itself straight into the small hole in the round iron, and hit the target in the circle, the sound of a bell ringing loudly.

“Ting!”

While Hu Bo’s arrows missed the hole and bounce back to him.

“Damn!” the young Crown Prince of Tania jump from his horse and catch his arrow with his bare hands, really capable prince he is.

Bai Ying, who had been holding his breath for a while, finally jumped up.

“Yeah, Your Highness did it!”

He and his two maids cheered the loudest.

“Great, His Majesty indeed the greatest!”

To Luo Xiang it was nothing, he could even close his eyes and his aim would still be right no the target matter what, but, he would be humbled at that time, this was a show for his sweet concubine who couldn’t wait to scream for joy for him.

“heh”

But even if the first target was hit, Luo Xiang still had to continue until the allotted time was over, at least each participant needed to hit the target more than three times to come out victorious, and the first person to hit the first three targets was the winner.

Lo Yi who spurred his horse fast enough also couldn’t lose, he aimed his bow while he continued to ride around the circle with the hole he had been eyeing for a long time, he just needed to spur his horse as fast as the circle and insert his arrow into the hole in the circle.
