Xiao Yun hopped around in Qin Yan's arms, looked around, and pointed with his hand: "Mother concubine, is that a kite?"
Qin Jie followed the direction of his finger and looked into the distance. There were indeed two "big butterflies" with broken lines on the northward mountain.
Qin Jie looked at the kite that was drifting away and said, "It's really a kite."
This time, the concubine's attention fell on the two big butterflies.
He Shuyi said slowly: "There is no one in the north, how can there be a kite?"
Concubine Liu said: "Although there is no palace in the north, there are people at the foot of the mountain. The weather is nice today. I guess some family didn't hold the line when flying the kite."
As soon as the words fell, the cup in Princess Changning's hand fell to the ground with a "slam" and fell into pieces.
Su Huaian quickly raised her hand and helped her clean up, "Be careful, Your Highness."
Xiao Lianyu slapped his hand away with a backhand, and turned back to the maid: "Help me up."
Xiao Lianyu got up and said, "Mother, Changning's clothes are wet, change them and come back."
Empress Dowager Chu looked at her and nodded, "Go."
Princess Changning turned around and left.
The Empress Dowager Chu glanced at Xiao Yun lovingly, then looked back and said to the mammy: "Aijia remembers that Feng mama is very good at making kites and paper kites. When you go back to the palace, mammy will give the eldest prince a few more to play with."
The maid said: "Hey, the servant remembers it."
Xiao Yu said to his son, "I've been doing so much without thanking the grandmother."
Xiao Yun immediately got up and said, "Grandson, thank the grandmother."
The Empress Dowager Chu met the child's innocent eyes and said, "There are hundreds of kites, crabs, butterflies, geese, which style does Yun'er like?"
Xiao Yun thought for a while and said, "Dayan!"
Empress Dowager Chu smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
After a full stick of incense, Xiao Lianyu returned. At this time, the competition between Xu Shuyi and Princess Baoyin was over.
Although Xu Lanzhi was thin and frail, he was nothing more than an accurate shot when shooting in situ. Princess Baoyin's experience in galloping on the grassland was not useful.
In the end, Princess Baoyin was only three points ahead of Xu Lanzhi.
Although she won, Princess Baoyin was not satisfied with the result.
She pursed her lips, and set her eyes on this Da Zhou's favorite concubine.
Her face is indescribably beautiful, and I don't know how much she is capable of. If she only serves the emperor at night and servants with color, she will really despise her. Princess Baoyin squinted her eyes and said, "Ms. Would you like to compete with Baoyin again?"
Being called, Qin Jie looked up at her.
Princess Baoyin said again: "Just now, it's just archery, it's really boring, how about Niangniang Zhaoyi, like Baoyin, instead of riding and shooting?"
Qin Jie swept over Qin Wang with the corner of her eye, and said softly, "The concubine doesn't know how to ride and shoot."
She is the daughter of Taishi Ling, how could she be able to ride a horse and shoot arrows
Princess Baoyin said, "How about riding a horse?"
There was a blush on Qin Jie's face, and there was a hint of shyness in her tone, "I don't know how to ride a horse either."
Hearing this, Su Huaian couldn't help but slightly curled the corner of his lower lip.
Now that A Ling is telling lies, it is really incomparable to anyone, and it is no wonder that he has kept the emperor from the emperor for so long.
Princess Baoyin frowned and said bluntly, "Ms. Niang doesn't want to compete with Baoyin?" The words were polite, but Princess Baoyin's expression could be said to be the same as "Empresses don't dare to compete because they are afraid of losing."
Qin Jie shook her head and said softly, "The princess has misunderstood, if the princess compares with her concubine some literary play, women's popular skills, or chess, calligraphy and painting, then the concubine will still be able to accompany her, but this is riding and archery, the concubine has never really been learned."
Hearing what she said, Princess Baoyin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She turned to look at the emperor again, but there was no anger on the man's face, but no smile.
She still wanted to hear him coax her, with a smile on her lips and a deep voice, just like yesterday.
She didn't want him to feel aggressive, she tried her best to use their Han manners and said to Qin Xie: "Our grassland has always been riding and shooting to meet friends, Baoyin put forward the competition, just wanted to get closer to the empress and get along better in the future, but I didn't think so. It's even more offensive to the lady."
Qin Xue said, "The princess is sincere, so how can you offend."
Princess Baoyin smiled and said, "In the future, Baoyin will teach the mother-in-law to shoot arrows, and the mother-in-law will teach Baoyin the piano art? It will be a long time to come to Japan."
She didn't feel that these words were more offensive than those words just now.
Xiao Yu was noncommittal about what Princess Baoyin said.
Generally speaking, when the emperor does not speak, he acquiesces.
Although the queen concubine had guessed in her heart that the emperor would bring people back this time, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. With Princess Baoyin's temperament, I'm afraid that she will be spinning around in front of the emperor every day.
Enthusiastic women may not be very interesting to men at first, but for most of them, they will become warm when they stick to them.
Just when everyone was thinking about the emperor's thoughts, Xiao Yu suddenly looked at Qin Yan and said solemnly: "Baoyin said that Da Zhou is heavy on horseback riding, this is true, it's fortunate that your brother is still the champion of martial arts. You should really learn."
yo-
These words really caused a thousand waves.
Xue Lanyi, who was dozing off, was refreshed.
What does the emperor mean
For that Mongolian Princess Baoyin to bring down Qin Zhaoyi's face
The harem is always watching the fun and not afraid of big things.
Qin Xue didn't expect him to be able to clear the siege for him, but he also didn't expect him to say such a sentence.
She paused, nodded and said, "I will obey His Majesty's teachings."
These eight words are really sincere and fearful.
Xiao Yu made a low "um".
After slowing down, he said again: "Go down the paddock, I will teach you personally."
After saying that, Xiao Yu got up.
When the emperor got up, she naturally couldn't sit still, Qin Yan put Xiao Yun in the arms of the Changning Princess and followed in small steps.
Princess Baoyin looked at the corner of the emperor's robe and thought repeatedly, is this taste arsenic or honey
—
When she came to the hunting ground, Xiao Yu picked a bow for her.
Qin Xue held the bow and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has not been used for many years, so I really don't know much about it."
Xiao Yu walked behind her, posed for her, and said in her ear, "Then I will teach you again."
He held her hand, led her to stretch out his arms to draw the bow, and deliberately said slowly, "Neck resting on shoulders, ribs resting on strings, and arrows resting on your face."
"A Ling, the shaft of the arrow should fall on the back of the thumb, and the release should be quick and not too forceful. It is better to buckle lightly."
Qin Xue was stunned, the past reappeared in his mind along with his words.
This is how he taught himself once.
The mountain wind blows, and the flags sway from side to side.
The next moment, the arrow shot straight out, with a "pop" sound, and plunged into the middle of the center of the circle without any accident. Due to the excessive force, the bow kept humming and trembling.
The sun shines on them.
He circled her and drew the bow again, but this time, the arrow was not aimed at the bullseye, but at the distance, and he whispered, "See?"
Following the direction of the arrow, she saw a building similar to the watchtower but much lower than the watchtower.
She said "um". Only then did I suddenly understand why he would suddenly teach her to shoot arrows.
"This is the stage, there are fifty in the entire paddock." Xiao Yu's arrow pointed towards the lower left corner of the stage, "Each stage has a two-drawer chest with pods in it, which are shot into the sky with a short bow. It will detonate, as long as there is smoke, the cavalry at the foot of the mountain will come, if there is an accident, you can take Yun'er Changning and leave first."
Qin Jie said, "That person is about to start?" That person was Tantai Yi.
"Well, most likely on the day of the wild hunt."
Qin Xue said, "Jin Yiwei has been checking the fires clearly recently, won't they startle the snakes?"
Xiao Yu said: "This is a dense forest. Once there is a fire, it will be like setting fire to a company camp. It is the responsibility of Jin Yiwei to investigate the fire.
Qin Jie looked back at him and said worriedly: "But, the investigation is so strict..."
Xiao Yu knew what she was thinking, and said, "If he wants to set fire to it, he must have his own way, just wait and see what happens."
Qin Jie looked at him and said, "Then Your Majesty, be careful."
Xiao Yu made a "hmm" sound.
After talking about the business, Xiao Yu didn't go back, just held her hand and continued to shoot arrows.
The screeching sound kept brushing past her ears.
Every time he shot an arrow, he sighed and said nothing.
I don't know how much anger he has brewed.
Qin Wei frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going back?"
Xiao Yu frowned and sighed again.
Qin Yan raised her head and looked at him, "Is there anything else your majesty?"
Xiao Yu's Adam's apple moved back and forth, and he rubbed his eyebrows.
After thinking for a while, he still pulled her head back.
Sure enough, looking at the back of her head, his heart instantly felt a lot more relaxed, he leaned down, put his lips against her ear, took a long breath again, was silent for a long time, and then forced out five words, "I will not accept the concubine. ."
She turned her head abruptly, blinked her watery eyes, and said softly, "What?"
Xiao Yu happened to have an arrow in his hand, he couldn't help but lightly slapped her crotch, and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid with me."
At this time, the wind was blowing through the treetops, and the four ears were redder than the sunset in the sky.
—
The night wind was blowing, and lights were lit all around. Eunuch Zhang pushed open the door of Chunxi Palace, looked at the queen mother with closed eyes, waved his hand, and dismissed the servants in the room.
The little eunuch and the palace maids slumped back down.
The door of the hall "squeaked" and slowly closed.
The queen mother said around the Buddha bead in her hand: "How is the investigation that Aijia asked you to investigate?"
Eunuch Zhang smiled very flatteringly, "The queen mother is indeed wise."
The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, looked at the booklet in Duke Zhang's hand, and said, "Bring it to Ai's family."
Eunuch Zhang handed it over with both hands, and said, "This is from the Ministry of Industry. Princess Changning has used the materials for repairing the Lishan Garden in the past three years."
The Empress Dowager glanced at the traces of the renovation of Chunxi Palace, and said faintly, "Is the material used right?"
Zhang Gonggong bowed and said: "Yes, especially the glazed tiles and rammed earth, according to the survey of the servants in the past few days, it really does not match."
The empress dowager narrowed her eyes and said, "Su Huaian's trace must be related to her... Continue to stare at her first."
