49 Silence

In the silence, the grass fruit seemed like a huge irony.

Against Cai Lin's scratched face and frightened tears, Ye Lily stood with her head held high, looking calm.

She put away the bow, bent to pick up the grass fruit on the ground, took a look at Cai Lin, and suddenly smiled and said, "You lost."

She looked a little young.

From the beginning to the end today, she was overly calm, which made people ignore her age.

Now with this gentle smile, suddenly there was a bit of innocence.

Everyone looked carefully and found that the previous dullness was not dullness.

This little girl actually had bright eyes and white teeth, and was rather elegant and magnificent.

Cai Lin couldn't say a word.

There was still blood on his face that hadn't been wiped clean from the scratch just now, and tears kept falling, smearing the blood.

His whole face was messy with patches of red and black, looking very embarrassed.

And at this moment, he didn't care about his face anymore.

He just looked at Ye Lily, his eyes full of fear.

Ye Lily raised her eyebrows.

It seemed that he was finally afraid. It was good to be afraid.

Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

From now on, these snakes, insects, rats and ants around her should be more obedient.

The servants hurriedly helped Cai Lin, whose legs were weak with fear, off the stage.

And the examiner in charge of the verification walked to Ye Lily's side, took the grass fruit that was full of arrows, and asked in surprise, "Has Miss Ye practiced archery before?"

Not only was the aim good, but the strength in the hand pulling the bow couldn't be loose either.

Ye Lily, a delicate girl, pulled the bow so skillfully.

Moreover, everyone could see clearly the last arrow.

Cai Lin was so scared that he fell down, and Ye Lily could still hit the grass fruit when Cai Lin was moving. That was not surprising.

Practiced? Ye Lily tilted her head slightly and fell into thought.

It was the first year when she was a hostage in Qin.

Both the princesses and princes of the Qin royal family liked to bully her.

It seemed to be a very interesting thing to watch her, the empress, being humiliated.

But she couldn't get angry because at that time, Qin was lending troops to Ming Qi.

Those princesses and princes invented a new game, which was the same rule that Cai Lin set on the verification field today.

They took turns to put the grass fruit on their heads.

When she was the target, those from the Qin royal family deliberately shot her hair in a mess, shot her clothes to pieces, and even "occasionally" accidentally shot her arms and neck and the like.

And she could only endure it by gritting her teeth.

At that time, every night, in her room, she carefully set up a target and practiced diligently.

She regarded those targets as the people who had hurt her.

She practiced seriously and shot hard, and finally she could hit every shot.

But during the day, when it was her turn to shoot, she still deliberately missed the target or couldn't pull the bow strongly.

There was no way. One had to bow when under someone else's roof.

She had to stay alive and return to Ming Qi to see Ye Qing and Ye Yi.

Such a hard life lasted for a whole year.

Today, when Cai Lin mentioned it again, it suddenly brought her back to those humiliating days.

In this life, she had no把柄 in others' hands.

Naturally, she could kill or shoot as she wanted.

She wanted an unfettered life. Whoever provoked her, she would fight back fiercely.

If the Cai family dared to talk about Ye Xin, she would make them afraid and shut up!

This was what she should do.

She smiled slightly, "I once saw my elder brother practicing hard in the yard. I saw a lot. Just imitated him. I didn't expect to succeed by accident today."

This made the Cai couple under the stage so angry that they almost fainted.

Their son was once the top in archery, but today not only did he not hit one, but also made a fool of himself in public.

Ye Lily said that it was just the first time she pulled the bow by imitating, and she hit the grass fruit. What kind of nonsense was this?

"Pa, pa, pa." The clear sound of applause rang out.

Everyone turned around and saw Prince Yu clapping his hands, "Really good."

Ye Lily glanced at him but didn't speak.

The examiner said loudly, "In the archery category, is there anyone else who wants to challenge?"

This round was naturally won by Ye Lily.

Others could also come to challenge Ye Lily.

If no one challenged, Ye Lily would undoubtedly be the top.

Hearing this sentence, Ye Amy's face suddenly became ugly.

In the first verification, she was completely overshadowed by Ye Lily.

She looked at Xu Hao who was talking to Zhou Wang and Jing Wang from afar, clenched and loosened her hands tightly.

She scolded that useless Cai Lin to pieces in her heart.

But the next moment, someone on the field shouted, "I want to challenge Ye Lily!"

Among the men's seats, a young man stood up.

He was only about sixteen or seventeen years old and looked good.

Unfortunately, a pair of eyes showed an undisguisable sophistication and shrewdness.

Even though his tone was modest, there was a sense of affectation.

Just by looking at him once, Ye Lily knew who this person was.

She felt a little funny in her heart.

This was the second son of the Lin'an Marquis Liu family, the illegitimate son of Liu Yan, Second Young Master Liu Changwu.

This person had no other skills but was extremely smooth.

He was the best at affectation in the officialdom and was very good at flattering.

Later, when the Liu family collapsed completely, this pair of illegitimate sons and Mrs. Fang lived a very comfortable life with the consolation from the new emperor.

Liu Changwu and his younger brother Liu Changchao even entered the court and became officials.

She didn't like these two brothers very much at that time because the two illegitimate sons of the Liu family were on Mrs. Mei's side, were good friends with Fu Sheng, and even often helped Fu Sheng suppress Fu Yi.

The reason why Ye Lily reminded Liu Yan to find an opportunity to get rid of his illegitimate younger brothers was also because she was still angry about the things in the previous life.

These two couldn't be left. If they were left, they would be enemies.

Now her revenge hadn't reached here yet, but this person came主动 by himself. But for what?

She took a look at Lord Cai's position.

Lord Cai had a sullen face, and Liu Changchao seemed to be comforting him.

Right. Recently, the two brothers of the Liu family were planning to seek a position under Lord Cai, the Minister of Court Attendance.

So they had been actively making friends with Cai Lin.

Unfortunately, Cai Lin always wanted to make friends with Liu Yan and ignored the two brothers.

But now wasn't this a good opportunity?

You should know that at the end of this year in the previous life, that is, when she successfully forced herself to marry Xu Hao, Liu Changwu and Liu Changchao both entered under Lord Cai.

Then... Two years later, the Cai family was involved in a corruption case and was raided and exterminated.

Many things have changed, but many things haven't.

It seems that the process has changed, but the ending hasn't.

The two brothers of the Liu family wanted to use this method to please the Cai family, but they wanted to make her lose face?

Ye Lily was about to answer when suddenly a voice came from the side.

That voice was lazy and carried an indescribable mockery, saying, "You don't practice with your elder brother at home on usual days. Now you come to challenge a little girl? Liu Changwu, you are getting worse and worse."

Liu Yan appeared on the stage.

He crossed his arms and looked at the two stunned illegitimate younger brothers off the stage with a half-smile and laughed, "How about I challenge both of you? Let me discipline my younger brothers. Don't be cowards. It's disgraceful to fight with a woman and show it outside."

He looked at Ye Lily again and said, "You go down."
