As soon as Yuan Lingjun left, Yang Zhai immediately cried to Emperor Hongjia aggrievedly: "Sister knows what happened, but she only blindly reprimands me for being ignorant, but she doesn't blame her. ”

"Yang Zhai!" Yuan Ying interrupted Yang Zhai's next words, pressed the slightly painful forehead, and said dissatisfiedly, "This matter is that you are not right in front, and if you don't let Lingjun vent her evil anger, she will not give up, her kind of love and hatred are very clear, and she is polite not to cut a few knives on your face." ”

"Yes, Yang Zhai knows his mistake and doesn't dare anymore." For Yuan Ying's words, Yang Zhai has always been regarded as Lunyin.

"What did I tell you then, remember?"

Yang Zhai lowered his head: "Order me to prepare a hard bow, and not to declare personal vendettas." ”

"You just want to have a headache on your own, and you are completely reckless. That broken rainbow was hung in the main hall of his father's deliberations at the beginning, and Liudi was free to enter and exit, so he didn't know how heavy the bow was. It's good that Qu Yi can pull you away, but if she can't pull her away, I can't save you if she eats you alive. ”

Yang Zhai covered his hot scalp with his hand, and his face was full of shame: "Sister, I'll help you too." What if she comes back to trouble me? "I had a headache.

"Don't mess with her lately." Yuan Ying's face was slightly gloomy, and he walked for a while, and stopped, "Where is the person who was found by the guests in your house?" ”

"What?" Yang Zhai reacted immediately, and his brows furrowed, "Waiting in the hall in front, will Sister go over now?" ”

"Yes, we'll see him now."

Yuan Ying flicked his sleeves and walked towards the palace, only ordering Yang Zhai to follow, and the rest of the people were waiting outside the palace gate.

As soon as they sat down on the low couch in the hall, a middle-aged man in the armor of the Praetorian Guard stepped forward and bowed.

Yuan Ying waved his hand to stop him, invited him to sit on the opposite seat, and said, "I'll listen to the details you know. ”

"Yes." The man kowtowed and began to speak.

The yellow plum blossoms bloom warmly in the threshold, and at the junction of the strong light and the shade of the trees, the maids of the same color are buried in the process, some holding the dining table, some carrying the plum vase, and some carrying the lacquered box full of fruit cakes, and they carefully and hurriedly pass through the pavilion, dutifully arranging the wine banquet prepared for the festivities.

Yuan Lingjun walked up and down the corridor in a distraught manner, her cheeks and neck flushed with excitement, like a person who was not a good drinker suddenly drank a pot of spirits.

She was still angry at what had happened on the school grounds, and the most intolerable thing was that she had shown her loyalty to Her Majesty, who had tried her three times and twice. The anger was only temporary, and soon she calmed her anger and her face returned to its normal color.

Fan Xin was still worried about whether she would be as willful as a child, doing things that could not be counted for the consequences, Yuan Lingjun showed his usual expression on his cheeks, and returned to the hall under his gaze.

Kunjiao handed over the tea, and Yuan Lingjun drank it all in one gulp, sat down next to Qu Yi, and rested his head on his shoulder. There was no sign of anger on her face.

"It must have hurt a lot." Holding his fingers wrapped in cloth strips in the palm of his hand, Yuan Lingjun felt complicated and indescribable in his heart. I can't imagine how much force it took to pull the bow open to cut my fingers, and I could see the bones deeply.

"I don't want to have any holiday with her, but because of the old grudge between my mother, she can't get rid of the crux in her heart and goes against me everywhere."

Qu Yi shook her hand and took it into his arms: "I didn't teach archery to the court martial artist at the beginning, it's not that I'm not good at it, but I can't." ”

"Oh!" He didn't say the reason why he couldn't, and Yuan Lingjun didn't ask. She quietly closed her eyes, enjoying a rare moment of silence, and her clear voice fluttered in her ears.

"My father and uncle are both generals who have been fighting horses for half their lives, and I have accompanied them to the battlefield to defend against the enemy since I was a child, and I am familiar with the art of war and formation. It's just that my parents were martyred, and I followed the teachings of my ancestors to leave the officialdom, traveled all over the world, visited the northern and southern dynasties, and never held a bow and arrow again. ”

His father Qu Yan was the first general of the wind and rain cavalry, inherited from father and son, since ancient times, His Majesty urgently needs this army to consolidate the throne and establish the monarchy, and it is bound to start from him.

The result of asking for eagerness is often not ideal, and he is never the person they are looking for.

"Nonsense, he is both a member of the Liyang Qu family and an outstanding talent, how can he not be a commander, what basis do you have?"

Before he could finish listening to the informant, Yang Zhai stood up from his seat in shock and shouted loudly in disbelief.

Yuan Ying raised his hand to stop, and glanced at the transparent partition door, the branches swayed gently in the air, and the figures under the corridor were crowded. The people guarding the door are all henchmen, she is very relieved about this, but she is inevitably vigilant, she must always be on guard against the eyes of the Xu family.

"Badi, don't be impatient, listen to him."

Yuan Ying nodded and motioned to continue.

The informant continued: "The last time the Wind and Rain Cavalry was still in the army, although the commander was wearing a black iron mask, he could still feel the perseverance and killing revealed from his eyes, which was a rare expression of confidence in the battle of ordinary generals, and his eyes could be said to be a knife, just one look could make people shudder. He can effortlessly open a hard bow of more than one stone, this is true, but Chang Shanjun is by no means, from the point of view of body shape and demeanor, it can only be said that it is five points of godlikeness, from the voice of the two, Chang Shanjun's voice is soft and low, and the commander's voice is obviously thick and majestic, and the basis for the minister's final judgment is that the commander never uses to hold the bow in his right hand. ”

Yang Zhai recalled: "Yes, Lan Yu uses his right hand. She sat down. Is the only clue broken?

"The commander can only pull a hard bow with more than one stone in his left hand when he holds the bow in his hand, and the minister has been serving in the wind and rain for three years, and that's all he knows."

Yuan Ying suddenly lowered her head, stroked the top of her hair, and Yang Zhai ran over to help her: "My head hurts again, isn't it?" ”

"Take him down and wait." Yuan Ying commanded. Yang Zhai hurriedly pushed open the partition door and summoned an inner attendant, who took the order and withdrew with the informant.

After a long time, Yuan Ying raised her face, and her eyes were red. She misses her mother a little.

The wine is exhausted, and the night is heavy. Emperor Hongjia came to Empress Xu's bedroom, and since she ascended to the pole, it has been difficult for mother and daughter to get along as usual, and they can't help but have a long talk.

The situation of the two of them is not as good as it seems. The foundation of the new emperor is not stable, the relatives are in power, and the affairs of the court are all decided by the uncle. Empress Xu was in a dilemma, firstly, she was ashamed of her mother's broken promise, and she was afraid that they would be secretly sad in the future because of the loss of unauthorized power, and secondly, she was worried that the emperor could not centralize power. Now I finally seized the opportunity to grasp the wind and rain to ride to deter the ministers, but in the end, I didn't have a clue.

Yuan Ying nestled in her mother's arms and said: "In terms of military prestige, it should be the Liyang wind and rain ride." I am the Son of Heaven and enjoy the four seas, but I can't even control an army, how can I convince the people. ”

"Why bother with Yuan Niang, just invite Lan Lu Gongzi or Lan Yihou, and you can find out as soon as you ask."

Yuan Ying lowered her eyes tiredly and let her mother rub the acupuncture points for her. "No, there is no record in the book, what can they know, Lan Yihou claims to have three thousand wind and rain horses, but there is no soldier to deploy." Immediately afterwards, she seemed to say to herself, "Who is it, who is the person, who has such a heavenly ability, and who can easily hide from the eyes of people in the world, and even the guards who are an arm's length away don't know his details." ”

"My son...... Mother has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Empress Xu suddenly stopped her movements.

Yuan Ying opened her eyes and looked at her mother's soft chin.

Empress Xu said with sharp eyes: "What we can't get, we can't let the rest of us get." ”

"Mother!" Yuan Ying's face changed drastically, and she sat up in a panic.
