The prince is a man of integrity. After Qi Yang reached an agreement with him, he finally let go of his heart.
On the contrary, Lu Qipei seemed to stay out of the way, not worried about what the prince would do to her. In fact, there is really nothing to worry about. Even if Qi Yang didn't go to the prince, until he found more evidence, he would at most just be on guard against Lu Qipei.
The days went on as before, and the Prince and the King of Wei became more and more careful in the next period of time. Xu Shi was worried that he would follow in the footsteps of his brothers. King Wei, who was quite public when King Wu left the capital, was now quiet. In addition, the three princes were broken in a short period of time, and the dependents in the court also changed a lot of blood. By this time, they were all tired and settled a lot.
For a time, there was peace inside and outside the court, but it was a rare peace.
This day, Lu Qipei returned to the mansion on duty, and he heard a burst of laughter as soon as he walked to the gate of the main courtyard. There seems to be a lot of people in the main courtyard today, and in addition to the woman's coquettish laughter, there are also two childish words from time to time in this burst of laughter.
As soon as Lu Qipei heard it, he knew that it was Lu Sheng who was here, but what happened, made them laugh so happily
Thinking like this, she stepped into the courtyard gate, and then looked up and saw a group of people in the middle of the courtyard - seven or eight maids surrounded Qi Yang and Lu Sheng. Today's Qi Yang is wearing a narrow-sleeved beard. The maid held a bow and arrow in her hand. This is more than that, even the little dumpling Lu Sheng is also holding a small bow wrapped with gold thread, and is pretending to be pulling the string!
But obviously, even Xiao Gong is difficult enough for Lu Sheng, who is only three years old. She is still too young and lacks strength, and no one has taught her to bend the bow and shoot arrows. At this time, she is just trying to pull the bowstring like an adult.
However, the appearance of Xiao Tuanzi pulling the bow is very cute, especially when she can't pull it away, and when she looks over with a pitiful blushing little face, it makes people feel even more heartbroken. And the laughter that Lu Qipei heard outside the courtyard before was also from this.
When Lu Qipei walked towards the courtyard, Lu Sheng saw it at a glance, and the pitiful little dumpling's eyes suddenly lit up. She no longer tried to bend her bow, she carried her small bow with her short legs, and Da Da Da rushed over to Lu Qipei.
In the past few months, Lu Sheng and Qi Yang were obviously getting closer because of more time in contact. On weekdays, when Lu Qipei came back, if she met, she would at most saluted and shouted "Uncle", and then she was tired of staying by Qi Yang's side and wouldn't move. It is rare for him to leave Qi Yang like this today and take the initiative to welcome him.
Lu Qipei swept his eyes to the field, and probably guessed what happened. Seeing Xiao Tuanzi running towards him, he didn't say anything, he just bent down and waited for someone to run near, then hugged him, and then asked with a smile, "What's wrong with A Sheng, are you looking for me for something?"
Holding the bow and arrow, Xiao Tuanzi first called out "Uncle" in a milky voice, and then put the small bow in Lu Qipei's arms: "Uncle, archery, you teach A Sheng. Your Highness refuses to teach, and you laugh at A Sheng. ."
Hearing that Xiao Tuanzi learned to complain, Qi Yang and the maid next to him laughed even more happily.
Lu Qipei also laughed, but asked, "Why do you think of archery? And A Sheng, she is so young, how can she draw the bowstring? Now I will give her the bow to play with, and I am not afraid of hurting her."
Having said that, Lu Qipei didn't mean much blame in his words.
The smile on Qi Yang's face did not change, but he also explained: "I'm watching, she can't draw the bow, she won't be hurt." After speaking, he responded to Lu Qipei's previous question: "It's autumn, autumn hunt. It’s almost here, my bow and arrow have been in the warehouse for almost a year, and I don’t know if I can still pull it. Practice before the autumn hunt, so as not to be embarrassed if I can’t pull the bow.”
Lu Qipei was so busy all day that he didn't know what day and night it was, but he forgot about the autumn hunt - the autumn hunt was a traditional activity in Liang State. It was only a few decades after the founding of the country, and the martial spirit of Liang Guo, which was formed in the previous chaotic times, has not dissipated. In addition, in the north, there is also Rong Di who is coveted by tigers. In these years of his reign, the annual autumn hunting has never been interrupted, and he has even attached great importance to it.
In the fall of this year, the emperor fell ill, so no one in the court mentioned it for a while. But looking at Qi Yang's current attitude, this year's autumn hunt will probably not be cancelled, at most a little later than in previous years.
This is also very good. For their civil servants, Qiu Shou is mostly just to play.
After thinking about it, Lu Qipei raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Sheng in his arms again, and said with a smile: "Then Your Highness is too anxious, Lu Sheng is only three years old, and everyone is not as high as the little Gong Gao you gave, Qiu Shou can go. No."
As soon as Qi Yang said this, Lu Sheng hugged Lu Qipei's neck and acted coquettishly: "No, Uncle, A Sheng is going, His Highness said it was fun." After thinking about it, he said, "Your Highness. Said to catch a rabbit for A Sheng."
Talking, acting coquettishly, and not knowing who taught him, Lu Sheng suddenly kissed Lu Qipei on the cheek, leaving a wet mark. The child blinked and rushed to Lu Qipei with a soft and pleasing smile.
I have to say that such Lu Sheng is really hard to refuse. However, Lu Qipei's expression softened, and Qi Yang stared at the saliva mark on her fair cheeks, but his eyebrows couldn't help but jump. She took out a handkerchief, wiped it for Lu Qipei calmly, and then said, "This little one, how can I expect her to go hunting? She saw that I had fun with archery, so I showed her a small bow."
Qi Yang said, pointed to the small bow in Lu Qipei's hand, and said, "This bow is mine. I learned archery when I was five years old, and my brother specially ordered someone to build it for me. At the age of three, it is naturally unbearable."
Lu Sheng nestled in Lu Qipei's arms, ignorantly understood Qi Yang's words, and realized that he had been perfunctory. She angrily buried her face in Lu Qipei's neck, leaving a small back, ignoring Qi Yang.
Lu Qipei pursed his lips a little funny, and asked Qi Yang for her: "What about the rabbit, His Highness promised A Sheng to catch the rabbit for her?"
Xiao Tuanzi's ears moved, and he wanted to look back at Qi Yang, but he held back when he thought that he was still angry.
Of course, this little gesture could not hide the eyes of Lu Qipei and Qi Yang, they both looked at each other with a smile. But Qi Yang didn't really lie to children to play, and he didn't deny it: "A Sheng likes it, it's okay to catch two rabbits and come back to play."
After hearing this, Lu Sheng turned around, his eyes were sparkling, and he was obviously not angry.
The child's temper came and went faster, and Lu Qipei couldn't help teasing her when he saw this: "Then Ah Sheng still wants me to teach archery?"
Lu Sheng already knew that she couldn't draw the bow anymore, and looked at Xiao Gong with a bit of grievance, but after hearing Lu Qipei's words, she nodded firmly: "Yes. When A Sheng is five years old, she will be able to draw the bow! "
The childish words are very firm.
Lu Qipei raised his eyebrows, agreed to her, put the child down and looked at the target in the distance - the princess mansion is not a military commander's mansion, there is no school grounds, etc. Today, Qiyang and the others simply set up a courtyard in the main courtyard for convenience a target. This courtyard is not small, but it is really not big for archery. The target is only thirty or forty paces away, but it is actually very close.
Before, Qi Yang Xu had shot a few arrows in order to test his skills. There were four or five arrows stuck in the target, not far from the bullseye. It seems that Qi Yang wants to pick up the archery before the autumn hunting, but it is not difficult.
After seeing the archery target, Lu Qipei borrowed a bow and arrow from Qi Yang, and Her Royal Highness raised her eyebrows slightly and lent it to her. Lu Qipei tried a little, then bent the bow and shot an arrow, the arrow flew out of the air, hit the bullseye straight, and the arrow made a three-pointer. No matter the accuracy or strength, it was much better than Qi Yang.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his little slap made a "pop" sound, looking very excited.
It was rare for someone to cheer like this, even if it was just a small group, Lu Qipei was inexplicably proud of himself. She pursed her lips and looked at Qi Yang. Her Royal Highness raised her chin in a reserved manner and said, "The concubine hasn't used the bow and arrow for a long time, and the arrow head has never been lost. That's fine, you can teach me a lesson. Lu Sheng Don't worry, she's still young."
The young Lu Sheng blinked blankly, looked at Qi Yang and then at Lu Qipei, panicking that the teacher he had finally found was about to be snatched away. She took a few steps forward, ran in front of Lu Qipei and hugged her leg, emphasizing in a milky voice, "Uncle teach me!"
Lu Qipei was hugged by her thigh for the first time, and she was a little stiff for a moment, especially when she tried to pump her leg, but found that the child was too tight to pull it out. I had no choice but to look at Qi Yang and compromise with the little dumpling: "Okay, I want to teach A Sheng. Can A Sheng let go of his hand first? It's really rude to do this, and it's not allowed to do this to outsiders."
Lu Sheng heard that obediently remembered to let go of his hand, and even more obediently rushed to Lu Qipei to bow and apologize, and then agreed to the elders' teaching. Only when she looked at Lu Qipei, her eyes were still bright and full of expectations.
It is wrong to deceive children. Since Lu Qipei agreed, of course he will not break his promise. She picked up the bow and arrow and taught Lu Sheng carefully. From the posture of holding the bow to the angle of archery, she did her best.
Of course, this kind of teaching is actually useless, after all, children can't even draw a bow.
However, teaching children how to hold a bow is enough to send people off. Lu Sheng is actually very smart. She doesn't insist on what she can't do now. A small and light bow is posing beside it, and it looks like it.
Lu Qipei gave some serious instructions, and then felt his clothes being pulled. She turned her head and saw Qi Yang who gestured at her with a bow and arrow, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
After a few words, the small group was dismissed, and Lu Qipei turned to teach Qi Yang.
Her Royal Highness learned archery at the age of five, and was taught by a famous teacher who enlightened the prince. Apart from practicing less, there was no need for anyone else to teach him anything. Only when the concubine came to teach in person, she pretended to know nothing and insisted that she teach by hand.
Lu Qipei could see through her thoughts without revealing them, and the two of them started teaching tacitly. Different from the oral teaching and personal demonstration when teaching Lu Sheng before, the hands-on teaching of the two is obviously too close.
After a while, Lu Sheng felt sore when he raised his bow, so he wanted to ask Lu Qipei if his posture was wrong. As a result, as soon as she turned her head, she saw her uncle was holding His Highness's hand, holding her in his arms and teaching her to shoot arrows...
