Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 74 Part 8: Riding and Archery Hii, sorry for the late post. Ive been trying to translate more for each part so this chapter will only have eight parts! Wohoo!

Even God was helping her, letting Jiang Li and her be in the same group. Unexpectedly, theres still Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yue, these two people who were also not on good terms with Jiang Li. Thus, to make Jiang Li suffer would be extremely easy.

Meng Hong Jins palm shivered slightly. This was the first time she did this kind of thing. Its strange, even though she was afraid, she actually became more determined. She knew, if she didnt do so, tomorrow she would have to kneel in front of Jiang Li, in front of everyone from the Imperial College, she had to apologize to Jiang Li. If that happened, her reputation would entirely be destroyed!

If you dont die then Ill die. This was a fiercer competition compared to Ming Yi Halls examination. And she was bound to be the final winner.

The exam started.

The examination field was very huge. The six people in the group got on the horses together and ran towards the finishing line. The first position wasnt just decided based on who reached the finishing line first, it also depended on the students riding ability. After all, riding a horse attached importance to equestrian, not just fast. When it almost reached the end, there would be a row of targets. Everybodys arrows had their own mark, its unlikely to be mistaken. Using the arrows that were shot onto the targets to distinguish, this was archery.

It was even more difficult to hit the target when a person was on horseback, as they were rocked while the horse ran. This years Ming Yi Halls examination, no need to talk about hitting the bulls eye, if the ladies were able to not miss the target was considered a good outcome already.

The first group started.

Jiang Li looked carefully at Ming Yi halls examination rules. Thanks to her previous relationship with Xiao Deyin, she knew a few things but it wasnt detailed. Today she herself would participate, which was different from watching as in the past. Jiang Li planned to watch carefully so she wouldnt make any mistakes when its her turn.

Thinking of Xiao Deyin, today Jiang Li didnt see her figure. However, this was the equestrian archery examination, it was indeed unnecessary for Xiao Deyin to be present.

Jiang Yu Yan and Liu Xu were in the second group. The first group turn was done quickly. Although the examination field was huge, perhaps because the equestrian archery skills of the female students in the first group werent too good, they just got onto the horse, trotted a little, and shot the arrows. The arrows were shot messily, not even one hit the target. Even the equestrian technique was unsurprisingly mediocre. However, at the end, these students were not disappointed at all, seemingly already content being able to mount and dismount the horse.

In the end, the Beiyan ladies didnt think highly of swordsmanship at all. Although a generals miss was admired by others, when it came to their own turn, they couldnt eat these sufferings.

Jiang Li took the attitudes all in and was a bit concerned with the equestrian riding level of Ming Yi Hall.

The second group that Liu Xu and Jiang Yu Yan belonged to were somewhat better than the first group. At least their riding was really running and they were even trying to compete to arrive at the finish line first. Unexpectedly, Liu Xu was the best archer in the first group. The reason was because her arrows didnt fall outside the target. Rather, it was stuck in a slant on the verge of the target.

That was also the best one in the group.

When Liu Xu was done, she was still slightly panting, apparently tired. However, theres excitement on her face and she said to Jiang Li: This year, the riding and the archery are put together. Its actually really difficult. Its really hard to imagine how those cavalry train in the army. Still needs to hit the bulls eye while on horseback, only extraordinary people could accomplish.

You are the best in this group. Jiang Li smiled and congratulated her.

From the start, Im not that good at equestrian riding. Today was also due to good luck. But I also didnt think that I would be very good. Liu Xu said: But you, this time, you and Meng Hong Jin are in a group. There must be a lot of people waiting to see your good show. You must take it easy and dont be anxious.

Im not anxious. Jiang Li smiled.

Liu Xu thought about it, that was really the case. Since the first time she met Jiang Li, she had indeed never seen Jiang Lis anxious appearance. Jiang Lis temperament was warm and gentle, neither fast nor slow. Perhaps Jiang Li didnt regard this competition as that important.

Her heart relaxed.

Jiang Li still seriously watched the following competition. It was unknown whether the not-so-good students in the first and second group turned out to be grouped together. The following two groups werent that bad. There were a few young ladies who even made several beautiful movements on horseback, truly eye-catching. The targets were also gradually covered with arrows, there were also some arrows that fell outside the targets. There were also some that were near the bulls eye.

The competition gradually became more intense.

Very soon, after an hour passed, the time for the last group had arrived.

Its time for Jiang Lis turn.
