Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 174 - 176: This Pair, There’s Potential

Dongfang Lianhua rose to her feet and paced out.

Dugu Wu was slightly taken aback, even Feng Bailing was stunned.

Mother knows archery? Why did she not know this?

The opponent was Lady Nan Feng, a challenging adversary.

"Tsk~"

Lady Nan Feng caressed her forehead, her face full of mockery.

"There have been tales of daughters taking up arms on their father’s behalf, but never a mother-in-law fighting for her son-in-law. Princess Yong’an better not act impulsively, lest it ends badly."

"Ah Ling has not yet married and I’m not yet Ah Wu’s mother-in-law. Besides, I am also his aunt. In my childhood, I learned archery from my teacher, Prince Shun, Ah Wu’s father. Everyone knows that before Ah Wu made a name for himself, Prince Shun was the foremost Divine Bow of Great Chu. With this said, do I qualify to compete against Lady Nan Feng?"

Dongfang Lianhua’s eyes were clear, her voice like pearls falling on a jade plate, unusually pleasant to hear.

Having spoken, Dongfang Lianhua snatched up Lady Nan Feng’s bow.

The bow, made of tuomu wood and wrapped in an iron layer, weighed dozens of pounds. Dongfang Lianhua exhaled and drew the bow, a surge of Gang Qi shrouded the arrow.

Boom—

An arrow shot out, whizzing past Lady Nan Feng’s ear.

The arrow struck squarely on the target behind her, a strand of her hair fluttering to the ground.

"Since you are a distinguished student of Prince Shun, you do qualify to battle with me. However, Princess Yong’an, I have just hit eight moving targets while dancing. Wouldn’t it be challenging for you also to dance for everyone?"

Lady Nan Feng, bearing origins in charm, was immensely angered inside, yet she talked and laughed as if nothing mattered.

Not to mention that Princess Yong’an couldn’t possibly dance, even if she did, it would only disgrace the Da Chu Royal Family.

"I do not dance. However, in my younger days of learning, I heard of legendary archers who could shoot a saber ring from a hundred steps away. Is there anyone skilled with a sword who would volunteer to assist me?"

After saying this, Dongfang Lianhua glanced around at all those present.

Among the attendees of the Xia He Banquet were scholars and military officers.

Among the military officers, many were swordsmen.

Yet, no one dared to step forward. Dongfang Lianhua, seemingly frail, hitting a target was one thing, aiming for a saber ring quite another.

A loss here would disgrace Great Chu, and should the Emperor decide to blame, it would be an unprovoked disaster.

At such a moment, no one wanted to take the risk.

Seeing the deathly silence around, Dongfang Lianhua furrowed her brows.

"Ah, this bunch of cowards, none daring to stand out. I am a swordsman... Ah, Li Mubei, don’t you have a saber? Could you lend it to me?"

Dongfang Qi couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

If Dongfang Lianhua, a mere woman, dared to fight for Great Chu, he, being a prince, had no reason to cower.

"I, Li, possess a saber and am willing to aid the Princess."

Li Mubei spoke aloud with a laugh, directing his servant to fetch the saber.

"Excellent saber."

Upon seeing Li Mubei’s saber, Dugu Wu held it before him and could not help but inwardly praise.

The saber was over three feet long, weighing about a hundred pounds with a chilling shimmer along its blade, its body in a reddish-gold color, clearly a meticulously forged precious saber.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." freeweɓnovel.cøm

Dongfang Lianhua bowed, then cleared his throat, coming back to his senses, he bowed with his fist clenched.

"I, Li, present this humble performance."

Li Mubei swung his saber, a sudden stern aura enveloped him.

With one swipe, the saber light flashed like thunder, akin to a spiritual snake in motion, the light enveloping Li Mubei’s figure.

For onlookers, it was difficult to even make out the moves of the sword skill, let alone clear views of a small saber ring, and Dongfang Lianhua was to aim for the handle’s ring?

After getting a vague sense, Dongfang Lianhua took a step forward, her beautiful eyes slightly squinting as she fully drew the bowstring.

An arrow flew out.

As Li Mubei swung down his saber, the arrow whistled through the saber ring.

Dongfang Lianhua shot again, and once more, the arrow passed through the saber ring.

Swish swish——

Dongfang Lianhua this time let loose two arrows simultaneously.

Those two arrows one after the other, passed through the saber ring.

The third time, she fired three arrows in quick succession.

The fourth time, four arrows in quick succession.

Without exception, all went through the holes in the saber.

Bang bang bang bang——

When the last four arrows also landed on the same target, Lady Nan Feng almost crushed her silver teeth.

The hall erupted in cheers, Dugu Xiaojin was so happy that she jumped up.

"Princess, what excellent archery."

Li Mubei sheathed his sword, after a sequence of sword moves, he didn’t even break a sweat, his starry eyes shining brightly as he stared at Dongfang Lianhua.

"It is Mr. Li’s sword skill that is commendable."

Dongfang Lianhua also let out a long sigh of relief.

When she shot the first arrow, her heart was still fluttering.

It was still the scene when she was a child, and her brother Prince Shun personally taught her archery that emerged in her mind.

Seeing herself defeated, Lady Nan Feng unwillingly sat down.

"Congratulations to Princess Yong’an for breaking through and becoming a Wuji Expert. It is indeed a fortune for Beiqi, I, on behalf of our Monarch, toast to the Princess."

Xiao Junci suddenly stood up, raising his glass to Dongfang Lianhua.

Wuji Expert?

As soon as this remark was made, the hall erupted once again.

Everyone knew that Princess Yong’an had Beiqi blood.

Now that her martial arts have improved and someone from Beiqi has arrived, could it mean...

"Regent King, your words are not quite right; should it not be the fortune of Great Chu instead? Princess Yongan is the Emperor’s biological sister, her blood is thicker than water, her breakthrough is under the Emperor’s protection. Now that the Emperor is not present, why not trouble the Eldest Prince to stand in for the Emperor and thank the Regent King for this toast."

Dugu Wu glanced at Eldest Prince Dongfang Cheng.

Dongfang Cheng suddenly realized and hurriedly said.

"Congratulations Aunt, thank you Regent King. Everyone, let us all drink this toast."

The officials thought about it, yes, only a small part of Princess Yong’an’s blood was from Beiqi, she is after all the Emperor’s true sister.

"Congratulations to the Monarch Yong’an, thank you, Regent King."

The guests all stood up.

Xiao Junci inwardly cursed.

Dugu Wu, this guy, really does not let any detail slip.

Well, he doesn’t believe this guy can always reach so far at any time.

The moon above the willows, the fragrance of the lotus carried by the wind, the lotus leaves gently swaying in the night wind, the continual sounds of frogs and insects, what a comfort.

At this moment everyone had already passed three rounds of drinks, their ears warm from the wine.

Lady Nan Feng seemed to have forgotten the earlier events, fluttering around the banquet like a butterfly, toasting each guest individually.

Feng Bailing checked the hour, it was getting late.

"Ah Ling, we should also head back early, Xiao Li is still at home."

Dongfang Lianhua was a bit worried about Feng Xiaoli.

"Princess sister, you and I had some grievances, it was my fault before, I specifically come to offer a toast as an apology."

Lady Nan Feng said with a smile as she walked over.

Finally showing her true colors.

Feng Bailing had waited all night and had not seen Lady Nan Feng make a move.
