Chapter 1015: Another Match
Although Yin Zhen was more inclined to Hongli in his heart, he knew that as an emperor and in front of so many princes and ministers, he should not be a little biased, so he had not spoken for a long time. He didn't say anything, and others naturally didn't dare to urge, so they just waited quietly.
After a long silence, Yinzhen turned his head to Ling Ruo and said, "Concubine Xi, how do you think this matter should be judged?" ”
Ling Ruo got up and gave a salute to Yinzhen and said quietly: "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine is Hongli's mother, and this matter is related to Hongli's qualifications. ”
Yin Zhen knew that if Daoling had made up his mind not to participate in this matter, he nodded slightly, and turned to the Nala clan: "What does the queen mean?" ”
Seeing that Yinzhen asked Niu Hulu first and then asked himself, Nala was full of unhappiness, and reluctantly smiled: "As Concubine Xi said, the concubine is also Hongshi's mother, it's really hard to say anything, and I ask the emperor to judge." ”
Seeing that the two of them avoided speaking, Yin Zhen raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, but listened to Liu's soft words: "Your Majesty, can the concubine say a word?" ”
"Runyu has anything to say, just say it." Seeing that Liu was about to stand up, Yinzhen said again: "You are pregnant and have difficulty moving, just sit and talk." ”
"Your Majesty." Liu's face was a little pale, and he stroked his towering abdomen and said slowly: "Actually, both the second elder brother and the fourth elder brother have the ability to pass the competition, if the emperor is really difficult to decide, it is better to let them compete again, and then make a decision." ”
"Another game?" Yin Zhen was a little surprised, and only listened to Liu's continuation: "Yes, the concubine heard that when the emperor was in Linyuan Pond a few years ago, he shot the apple thrown by the eagle and Concubine Xi with two arrows at a distance of 100 steps. ”
Nala's hand curled up in his sleeve tightened slightly, and it could be seen from the arrow shot just now that Hongli's archery skills were slightly higher than that of Hongshi, and if he tried like this, Hongshi would definitely lose. This Liu family doesn't look silent much on weekdays, but at this time, she is talking, and intentionally or unintentionally helping Niu Hulu's side, could it be that she has already taken refuge in Niu Hulu's family?
Nala suppressed the doubts in his heart and said in a deep voice: "It's a good idea for the humble nobles to mention, but how can the arrows of the two elder brothers be compared to the emperor, you are embarrassing them." ”
Liu smiled and said: "If you go back to the queen's mother, the concubine is just making a suggestion, if you really want to compete, you can naturally change a simple method." ”
As soon as she said this, the Nala clan couldn't say anything more, and on the other side, the Guerjia clan had already taken the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, it's better to give it a try according to the words of the humble person." ”
Yin Zhen asked Ling Ruo with his eyes, and the latter understood, and lowered his eyes and said, "The concubine doesn't have any opinions. ”
Yin Zhen patted the armrest and got up and said, "Okay, just according to what Runyu said, let's compete again." Hongshi, Hongli. ”
The two of them perked up, knelt down in unison and said, "Erchen is here!" ”
Yin Zhen looked at the two of them condescendingly, and said, "Because neither of you can leave the arrow on the earth in the end, it is because I let the two of you compete again, this time the competition is very simple." He motioned to Su Peisheng to pull out all the arrows on the earth, and then said: "Later, I will throw this earth out, all you have to do is to shoot the earth with arrows, whoever hits the ball with arrows can enter the next game, if both of you win, then all enter the next game." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sixi willingly pulled out the two intact arrows on the celestial sphere, and then took them down and presented them to the two of them.
When the two took the arrow, they invariably glanced at each other, their eyes were different, but it could be seen that neither of them wanted to lose.
After Sixi returned, in the breath of everyone, Yinzhen threw the ball out, as soon as his hand moved, Hongshi and Hongli immediately arched the arrow on the bow, and then quickly released, and the two arrows caught up with the ball in front of him like chasing the stars and the moon.
"Medium, must be successful!" Hongli read in a low voice, looking at his expression more nervous than Hongli. As for Hongshi on the other side, he stared at the arrow that shot out without blinking, this short breath of time was extremely long for him, lest he miss the arrow, if he lost to Hongli like this, he really had no face to stand here.
"Whew! Shout! "The two arrows hit the ball in mid-air in no particular order, and Hongshi was relatively biased at that time, not as good as the center of the ball in the center of Hongli, but it can also be regarded as a pass.
Seeing the ball with two arrows landing, Hongshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't lose to Hongli, but Hongli also hit, which means that he will compete with himself for the first place in the next game.
Seeing the ball that the palace people brought back, Yin Zhen bowed his head and said, "Since both of you have shot the ball, let's enter the next competition together." ”
After Yinzhen finished speaking, Sixi had already stepped forward and said loudly: "The first competition is over, including the second elder brother and the fourth elder brother, a total of twenty-nine people have won, and they are allowed to enter the next competition." ”
Just as Sixi was about to order someone to prepare for the next competition, Ling Ruo said: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, why don't you put the next competition in the afternoon." ”
Yin Zhen pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay." Let them go down and rest first, and then compare after lunch. ”
With Yinzhen's words, those people waiting below dispersed, only Hongshi and a few of them walked up, Hongtian just came out of the staircase at the top of the stairs, Yu Concubine couldn't wait to walk over, and pulled Hongtian with concern: "How is it?" Does it hurt? Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look? ”
Hongday rubbed his back and frowned, "Eniang, you asked me so many questions at once, which one should I answer first." ”
Concubine Yu also knew that she was too anxious, and when she was about to speak, Yinzhen had already said: "Hongday, a few of you come here." ”
Facing Yinzhen, Hongli didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he quickly straightened his back and went to Yinzhen with Hongli, knelt down on one knee and said: "Erchen asks for peace for Huang Ama and for Huang Eniang." ”
Yin Zhen bowed his head and said: "Get up, Hongshi, Hongli, since the two of you have passed this hurdle, then try your best to compete in the afternoon and strive to win the first." ”
Hongshi glanced at Hongli next to him, and said loudly: "Yes, Erchen will definitely go all out and live up to the high expectations of Huang Ama." ”
Hongli felt Hongshi's hostility, and didn't say anything, but said in a firm tone: "Erchen too!" ”
Yin Zhen nodded, and turned his gaze to Hongtian, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Why don't you get up?" ”
There was already a burst of pain on Hongday's back, and when he heard Yinzhen ask, he only felt that even his heart hurt, and he said with a low expression: "Erchen is useless, he failed to enter the next competition, please ask Huang Ama to surrender." ”
