Li Zhiwei's eyes were firmly fixed on Tang Ying for a long time, "Shadow." I can't guess you. Since you are not willing to commit to me, and you are not interested in others. He slowly reached out and grabbed her little hand, "How does this make me die?" ”

Tang Ying didn't dare to tell him that he had someone he liked, for fear that he would get to the bottom of it and bring trouble to Li Chunfeng, so he replied: "Ying'er has her own last resort, please Bixia not force me." ”

Li Zhi pulled her to his side and put his arm around her waist to face him, "I won't force you." In fact, I really want you to stay with me, this is my selfishness. After all, you are one of the few people in this house who can talk. He raised his eyes and looked at her a little lonely, "Even if you don't become my woman in the end." ”

"Your Majesty, ......" Tang Ying was a little unbearable when he saw his appearance. Li Zhi said: "Mrs. Helan came in when you left the palace, this couldn't be more obvious. Shadow, I'm not stupid, but I have my own troubles. There were frequent uprisings in the south, disputes between the frontiers and vassal states, and the harem did not let me live in peace, and sometimes, I really felt that there was nowhere to stay. And the harem has 3,000 fandels, and I value Mei Niang the most. So whatever Mei Niang wants, she will give it to her. As he spoke, he pressed his temples in annoyance.

Tang Ying felt that Li Zhi might still misunderstand Wu Mei, so he explained: "Don't blame Mei Niang, this is indeed what I meant." Li Zhi clasped her slender waist with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Anyway, you are going to stay in the palace, I have a chance." ”

Tang Ying looked at him in embarrassment. He smiled mischievously, "Alright." Don't embarrass you. I have summoned your father here. Before, I didn't have the slightest impression of him, but now I just feel that it's good that you don't like him. All I said was that you were suffering from a bad disease, so you should be buried or sent home. He didn't have an idea for a long time. So I gave him some money, and let him go home in mourning......"

Lord Tang's reaction was also expected. The dust has settled, and she has been a homeless person since then, and when she thinks of this, her heart is really a little empty.

Seeing her reflection, Li Zhi scratched her little mouth with his hand, "It's not beautiful to pout again, come, stretch out your hand, I have something for you." Tang Ying spread out his palm and saw him take out a thin gold ring and put it in his palm.

No way? Is it a marriage proposal? Tang Ying subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't bear to be pinched tightly by him and couldn't move. Li Zhi's eyes crooked, and he smiled: "What's so shy." Mei Niang told me that you have come to Kwai Shui. ”

What does this mean? Tang Ying was shocked. The emperor doesn't want the overlord to bow hard, right? He pretended to be dead and didn't want to go home, didn't it give him encouragement?

She was thinking about whether to knock the emperor unconscious, when he suddenly said: "When the women in the palace come to Kwai Shui, they will bring a ring to signal that I can't be lucky." Although you don't want to, I still want to give you one, and it won't be out of place if I want to take you out to play in the future. ”

Huh? It's not a marriage proposal...... Tang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. If you think about the books you have read about the customs of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that it is not popular to give rings in this era. That was the case, she gladly took it, and gestured that it was right to wear it on her middle finger. Touching the thin metal ring, she asked, "How does the Holy One know the thickness of my fingers?" ”

He was a little embarrassed, "You forgot, I also slept with your hand all night." "Hmm." Tang Ying's heart was hot, and he gave him a sweet smile.

He didn't realize that he was stupid, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say to her: "Shadow, maybe you are the only woman in the world that I can't get." But you know, men have always cherished what they can't get. ”

Tang Ying withdrew his hand and said seriously: "Bixia is not short of women, but it lacks friends. Ying'er thought, the emperor is reluctant to turn me into one of the concubines. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and laughed, "You are a ghost." Let's give it a try! ”

Tang Ying felt that it would be endless to continue to be strong, so let him go.

"Someone!" He stood up and folded the piece, "Get me a suit, I'm going to ride a horse!" Tang Ying said: "Then I'll retire first." Just as he was about to leave, he was grabbed by Li Zhi's wrist, "What do you want to retreat, I just want to take you to ride a horse!" ”

"But I can't ride." Tang Ying spread his hands and said, "I've never ridden a horse." ”

"Of course I know, so you can ride with me." ”

To the north of the palace is an open racecourse. Taizu and Taizong are all good at riding and shooting, and the men of the Li family have also followed this tradition. Not only do you practice every day, but you can also hunt and relax in autumn.

Tang Ying remembered that when she went to Xi'an with the company to visit the ruins of Daming Palace, the northernmost point was the ruins of the polo field.

They hurried to the periphery of the racecourse. Seeing from a distance that several eunuchs were cheering around, the prince was just going to report, Li Zhi suddenly signaled to stop, and pulled Tang Ying to stand behind quietly to watch. Tang Ying was short, so Li Zhi hugged her on his arm. As soon as I saw inside the human wall, I saw a black horse flash by, a few swishing sounds of breaking the air, and occasionally the sound of shooting something.

Li Zhi didn't make a sound, but his eyes flashed with the light of expectation.

A sturdy young man in his teens rolled over from the black horse, and immediately a little eunuch stepped forward to slap the horse. Tang Ying stretched his neck to look, it turned out that he was practicing riding and archery, but his skills were really not complimentary, and only one of the five targets in a column was shot. While watching the target, another person sped by at the other end of the runway, this time with the sound of hitting the target. When the man turned over and dismounted, only one of the servants stepped forward, and he didn't dare to praise him at all.

Tang Ying looked at the young man's delicate face and always felt familiar. At this time, it was the sturdy young man who had ridden and shot before who came up to him and praised him kindly. The handsome young man was unconvinced, but he bowed his head helplessly and listened.

Li Zhi put down Tang Ying and stepped forward while applauding, "My Li family boy should be both civil and military." Come, take my bow. ”

A large number of followers immediately handed over a shiny black bow. He kindly summoned the older boy over, "Come, Zhong'er." Let your father see your marksmanship. The prince was a little wooden from his face, and when he heard the emperor's call, he was stunned for a moment before running over.

Although he was young, his body was quite strong, and his arm strength was good, and his big bow was full of arrows and shot at the target. Li Zhi nodded and said, "Riding and shooting, the speed of opening the bow must be fast." Your eyesight is still lacking, but you won't miss the target. Tell my father what is the problem when riding and shooting? Li Zhong opened his eyes and watched the emperor break out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't say why for a long time.

Li Zhi called the slightly younger child again, "Come here, Sujie, and tell the prince why he couldn't shoot." Su Jie was overjoyed, and ran over and said, "When you are on a horse, you must shoot an arrow before you ...... shoot on the ground, and you must shoot it before you ." ”
