Chapter 110: Competition

Some of the vegetables are delicious, some are half-cooked because they can't be cooked, and some are tragically baked.

Tong Xue was already seven minutes full of meat, but she couldn't resist the aroma of roasted vegetables and vegetables, and her belly was swollen, and she was still a little unsatisfied.

The rest of the people are almost inseparable from her.

Everyone was full of meat and food, and there was a lazy and satisfied look on their faces.

Only the eldest prince looked at her and smiled ill-willedly.

"Tong Da, is the bow that the palace gave you still useful?"

Tong Xue looked at the eldest prince, blinked, and didn't react for a while, what the hell is Tong Da? Do you say this to yourself?

Seeing that she was pretending to be stupid, the eldest prince was a little unhappy, and said with a lower face: "Why, you shouldn't just throw it in any corner because you can't hold that bow, right?" ”

Tong Xue opened her mouth and was about to reply, when she saw that the eldest prince had turned his head and pointed the back of his head at her.

"Ancestor, you see that we have eaten and drunk enough, why don't you have an idea for your grandson?"

When Tong Xue heard this, she immediately had some bad premonitions.

She is ten percent sure that this stupid prince who has eaten a trench but has not grown a wise man will definitely hit her on the head!

Sure enough, the eldest prince turned his head and said to Tong Xue with a smile: "Tong Da, it's a pity to put a good bow in the corner and cover the dust!" Let's compare archery! ”

Tong Xue hadn't answered yet, and the county lord of Jiahe had already seen the excitement and said seriously: "The idea of the eldest cousin sounds very good, it has been snowing for a long time." In the stuffy house every day, my granddaughter is suffocating her hands and feet! Ancestor, how about we set up a few targets in this courtyard to shoot arrows? ”

The Queen Mother is also a little moved, she is a person who likes to be lively, especially when she is with a group of juniors.

However, in addition to the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the lord of Jiahe County, there were also Qiu Muyun and others.

The personalities of those here are different. But they are not clumsy. Yes, Qiu Muyun echoed his words and said: "The county lord's proposal is very good, the courtiers are not good at archery, and they can accompany the queen mother to enjoy it." ”

"Why don't we set up a competition. Aunt Qiu and the imperial grandmother make a judgment together! It's even more fun! The eldest prince proposed with great interest.

The rest of the people were actually a little moved.

Li Ling was born in Jiangmen. Proficient in mounted archery. Hearing this, the cold energy was gone, and he looked eager to try.

"It would be nice if I could add some appreciation." The third prince is young. But he was a competitive one, looking at the Queen Mother with anticipation.

"I know that you are a little person, and you are carved out of the same mold as your mother! A good thing that is used to mourning the family! The Queen Mother looked at the third prince with a smile and said, and told her personal grandmother to prepare for the reward.

"The grandson is slightly unwell, if the ancestor doesn't dislike it, he licks his face and watches the battle with the ancestor on the side." The second prince looked shy on the side and said naturally.

The second prince, Zhu Youlin, is twelve years old, two years older than Tong Xue, but his height is about the same as her.

He was frail since he was a child and had a quiet personality.

is different from the arrogant and domineering eldest prince, or the third prince who is small and big, the second prince looks delicate and white, and there is a strong bookish atmosphere all over his body.

Emperor Xining is not a heir, although he has always been cold to the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Yi, but he has fulfilled the duties of a father to this son, and has never shown too much favoritism. The Queen Mother is also a bowl of water, and she will not obviously favor any emperor or grandson.

Seeing that the delicate face of the second prince was set off by the wide coat, he became thinner and thinner, and the queen mother was also worried that he would be infected with wind and cold if he stayed in the snow for a long time.

The queen mother here bowed her head, and the eldest prince over there was busy ordering the eunuchs and palace maids to get busy.

After about a cup of tea, everything was ready, and the eldest prince was even more gearing up, eager to show his majesty.

However, he was worried about his identity, and politely asked the county lord of Jiahe, Tong Xue and others to go first.

The group walked outside the pavilion, in the open space by the Taichu Lake.

The snow was cleared early in the morning.

Along the shore of Taichu Lake, about a foot away from the shore, there are five scarecrows lined up.

This is still the idea that the lord of Jiahe and the eldest prince came up with together, not only asking the palace maid to tie her head, body and limbs, but also inserting two carrots as eyes in the face of the scarecrow, and the eyes help the two pompoms as the nose, and insert a slender white radish slice under the nose as the mouth.

The Empress Dowager looked at the ugly-looking scarecrow not far away through the raised curtain, and almost laughed.

"It's hard for you to come up with such an idea, the mourners have never seen a more elaborate scarecrow." The Empress Dowager did not forget to make a joke.

"Old Ancestor, Imperial Brother, they are ready, and it is up to you to announce the rules of the competition. That's how fun it is! The second prince said at the right time.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, and said to the eldest prince and others outside the pavilion, "The left and right are a game, the picture is lively, as long as you shoot on the scarecrow, the mourning family will be rewarded!" ”

"Imperial Grandmother, this is too easy! It's the only way to get a good score! The eldest prince muttered dissatisfiedly.

"If it's a competition, you shouldn't hide your head and show your tail, you should do your best." It was rare for Li Ling to echo on the side.

It seems that she is very confident in her archery skills.

What Miss Li said was very true. Ancestor, you have to think of a way to force out their tricks, that's good-looking! The county lord of Jiahe also spoke.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she thought for a while and said, "The mourning family heard that the pre-Qin court feast, and when the archery competition was held, there were songs and shoots. In the first three rounds, you aim for a scarecrow, and whoever shoots gets one point, and if you can shoot the nose, eyes, or mouth, you get one extra point. In the last two rounds, you need to dance with a bow and arrow, and if you have fun, you will shoot with a song, and if you advance or retreat, even if you shoot, there will be no extra points. What do you think? ”

"The imperial grandmother is worthy of being well-informed, and my grandson has never heard more interesting rules than this!" The third prince carried his own exclusive bow and arrow angrily and said with a smile.

The second prince listened carefully to the queen mother's words with a smile, and glanced at his personal eunuch, the eunuch was a spirit, after receiving the second prince's signal, he quietly ran away, and it didn't take long for him to hold a small table with both hands, and there was a tray on the table, holding the four treasures of the study, and the small steps came to the pavilion.

Not only that, but he was followed by two eunuchs, holding a guqin, and walked slowly.

The second prince took the small table and placed it on the stone table covered with a thick blanket, and unfolded the white rice paper.

The little eunuch over there also placed the guqin under the eaves outside the pavilion.

"The grandson will offer ugliness to help score points, and as for the matter of stroking the qin, I have to have Aunt Lao Qiu!" The second prince looked at Qiu Muyun respectfully and politely. (To be continued......)
