Chapter 196 How could she possibly pass?
The issue of perilla is currently the biggest concern for Chu Xiaohe and Chu Yi.
"Ah Li, I've already sent someone to invite Madam Ning, but we're still short two people."
Chu Xiaohe leaped off his horse and came to Chu Yueli's side: "Ali, it's getting late. If we don't go to the hunting grounds soon, I'm afraid we'll be late and displease the Emperor."
It was already daybreak.
It was just getting light; the sky was still a bit gray.
The weather seems a bit gloomy today; after several days of sunshine and gentle breezes, it's rather overcast now.
Overhead, dark clouds gathered and dispersed, and it was uncertain whether it would rain later.
"No need to wait for Aunt Anran, let's go to the hunting grounds first, she will go there on her own." Chu Yueli leaped onto her horse.
Chu Xiaohe then realized that his younger sister was wearing a close-fitting outfit, but with a large cloak covering her, making it difficult to see clearly at first glance.
She even tied her long hair up high, showing no trace of femininity; on the contrary, she looked heroic and spirited.
A figure immediately flashed through Chu Xiaohe's mind.
His mother, Ming Ruonan.
How similar is Ali today to her mother back then?
"Ah Li, why are you dressed like this? Could it be... could it be that you're also going to participate in the competition?" Chu Xiaohe's heart tightened immediately, and he said anxiously, "Ah Li, before entering the hunting grounds, you have to pass a test, a test that even Chu Yi might not be able to pass!"
"So, I never intended for Chu Yi to participate," Chu Yueli said with a smile.
Chu blushed, knowing he wasn't good enough, but he wasn't necessarily doomed to fail.
"I'll try……"
"No need. I want this competition to be foolproof. If you fail the test, our team will have to lose a spot."
Chu Yueli pulled on the reins and glanced back at Zisu.
Zisu hurriedly said, "Everything is packed, Miss, are you sure you don't want to take the carriage?"
"It's good to stretch your muscles a bit." After saying that, Chu Yueli spurred her horse and charged off.
Zisu glanced at Chu Xiaohe and immediately said, "Miss said that our group will go to the hunting grounds on their own, so there's no need to wait here. Let's go!"
She jumped into the front of the carriage, drove it herself, and drove off.
Chu Yueli and Zisu had been accompanying the team on expeditions for many years. They might not be good at martial arts, but they were excellent horsemen.
Starting this way, Chu Xiaohe didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
Chu Yi became uneasy: "Young Master, judging from Miss's appearance, it seems... it seems like she's going to participate in a competition? But there's an assessment before entering the Royal Hunting Grounds! How could Miss possibly pass?"
The young lady may be a good rider, but the assessment is not just about riding skills; archery skills are also essential.
He had never seen the young lady practice archery before!
Chu Xiaohe was also filled with trepidation, but Ali had already set off, so there was no point in them staying here.
"Let's go first and talk about it later!"
Not long after they left, Chu Xiaohe quickly caught up with Zisu, but Chu Yueli was nowhere to be seen ahead.
He chased after her all the way, but never encountered Ali.
Chu Yi even slowed down his pace and carefully observed the road, thinking that the young lady had stopped to buy something, but he couldn't see the young lady's shadow on the street.
Upon arriving at the hunting grounds, they looked up and saw Chu Yueli sitting on horseback, riding the wind, gazing at the archery range ahead, lost in thought.
Chu Xiaohe and Chu Yi exchanged glances, both somewhat incredulous.
She actually came. Could it be that they were too slow?
