As Zhu Yating released the arrow, it landed on the target board. The servant, responsible for tallying scores, looked at Guo Yurong and announced loudly, "It is 5," before retrieving the arrow and setting it aside.
The ladies watching from the porch erupted in excitement, clapping happily. It was the highest score so far; most participants struggled to even touch the target board on their first try. Zhu Yating's impressive score of 5 drew admiration.
"Ahh! Lady Zhu is amazing. I am sure she is going to win this game," one of the ladies exclaimed, praising Zhu Yating.
Jiang Yi frowned, glancing at Yang Ning with worry. "Your Highness looks like Lady Zhu is going to win this game. I am already so bad at it; how can we compete with her? Her family background is military, and we cannot compare to it."
Yang Ning looked at worried Jiang Yi, smiled, and asked, "Would you like some of these walnuts? They're sweet and salty. They're delicious."
