Shi Zhou was led by Princess Qiya and the Empress to the archery range, where she looked at the troops training in the field and pursed her lips listlessly.
However, Qiya's eyes gleamed with excitement as she happily suggested, "Why don't we go horseback riding and practice archery!"
The Empress shot her a reproachful glance, and although her tone was complaining, pride could also be heard in her voice, "Why do you always favor such violent activities?"
Qiya pursed her lips into a smile, turned to Shi Zhou, and asked, "Commandery Princess, do you know how to ride a horse?"
Shi Zhou nodded, "I do."
A glint appeared in Qiya's eyes, and she said playfully, "Then that's good."
The two changed into different clothes, mounted their horses, and held a bow and arrow in their hands, with an arrow quiver on their backs, containing ten arrows.
The Empress sat on the high platform watching this scene.
