However, before placing bets, the contestants need to first compete in horse riding, then archery. Finally, they will compete in horseback archery. Let's see who performs best before placing the final bet.
The first event is horse riding.
Nan Feng was stumped by the first event. She had only ridden a horse twice with Ye Ge, and he was behind her, leading her. She didn't know how to ride.
Moreover, the horse she was riding was chosen by the Emperor. It was very spirited and she simply couldn't tame it. As soon as she got on, the horse would dash wildly. She couldn't control it and almost fell off, drawing laughter from the ministers and concubines in the stands.
Only Xiaoqing kept encouraging Nan Feng: "Go Sister Nan Feng, Sister Nan Feng is the best, Sister Nan Feng is the best."
Regardless, Nan Feng was bound to be last in this event. The skills of the other contestants far surpassed hers, even Zhang Liangdi's.
Especially the Emperor.
