Zhao Che said that he didn't want to catch fireflies, so he just asked casually, but Xiaobei obviously felt that after asking that question, Zhao Che was not quite right, and he didn't even use dinner, so he went to sleep directly.
The next day, Zhao Che got up early in the morning and took Xiaobei to the outside of the palace.
Xiaobei didn't know what was going on, so he could only obediently follow behind Zhao Che, and when he was about to reach the Xuande Gate, someone caught up behind him, saying that Emperor Hengde was going to test the riding and archery results of several princes today, and the sons of some courtiers would also participate.
Emperor Hengde sent someone to say it yesterday, but Zhao Che was absent-minded at the time and didn't take it to heart.
After crossing the Xuande Gate, he was about to leave the palace, but Zhao Che couldn't take a step.
He is the crown prince, and even if he doesn't win the first place in today's mounted archery, he must participate.
Zhao Che stood in place and stalemate, and after a while, Xiaobei couldn't help but whisper: "Your Highness, are you still leaving?" ”
Zhao Che turned his head to look at Xiaobei, his eyes widened and he looked worried, he was not as white as Shen Baisheng, nor as good-looking as Shen Bai's facial features, but the innocence on his body that was ignorant of the world was three points similar to Shen Bai.
Zhao Che tightened the hand hidden in his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Go back." ”
Back at Yichen Palace, Zhao Che changed into a riding costume embroidered with gold silk auspicious clouds and dark patterns and rushed to the school field.
Zhao Chou, Zhao Xian, and Zhao Li had already arrived first, Concubine De and Concubine Shu also sat down on the viewing platform, and after a while, Gu Hengzhou, Zhou Jue, Wu Shouxin and the two brothers of the Qian family arrived at the school together.
Zhao Chou's gaze kept glancing at Zhao Che as if he hadn't done anything, with a little provocation, as if he wanted to win Zhao Che in today's competition.
Zhao Che didn't care about his provocation, and went straight to greet Emperor Hengde first.
Gu Hengzhou and they also came over in turn to salute, Emperor Hengde was greeting with them, there was a commotion at the entrance of the school, and Shen Bai was there to probe his brain.
Emperor Hengde asked the palace people to bring Shen Bai over, she was not on today's invitation list, and I don't know how she got into the palace.
However, Shen Bai was very clever, and as soon as he saw Emperor Hengde, he immediately saluted respectfully and said: "Shen Bai greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." After speaking, he turned to Concubine De and Shufei, "Meet Concubine De Niangniang and Shufei Niangniang, the two Niangniang are getting younger and younger, and they are even better looking than the twenty-eight girls." ”
Her voice was soft and glutinous, the child's voice was not gone, and she was born mellow and pleasing, and Concubine De and Concubine Shu were both amused.
Emperor Hengde often saw her in the queen's bedroom before, and later the queen died, and Emperor Hengde saw her less often, but he didn't expect that compared with Shen Ruxiu, she was so sleek and able to speak at a young age.
Touched by the queen's light, Emperor Hengde had a very kind attitude towards Shen Bai, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what everyone is going to do today?" ”
Shen Bai nodded and said, "Bai'er knows that everyone has to compete, just like when they were tested in Tai Academy. ”
Emperor Hengde asked, "Have I invited you?" ”
Shen Bai shook his head and said: "Your Majesty didn't invite Bai'er, it was Bai'er who came by himself, the people of Tai Academy and the people in the city all knew that there was this competition, they wanted to know the results of this competition, and they also launched a bet behind their backs, among which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Gu had the highest betting rate, they couldn't enter the palace, I came in and took a look for them." ”
Shen Bai is young, and he takes it for granted, as if he doesn't know that the laws of Zhaoling do not allow everyone to gather to gamble, let alone anyone would think that in fact, this news was released by her, and she is the biggest dealer in all gambling games.
Emperor Hengde didn't expect this news to spread so far, and was frowning and thinking, Shen Bai preemptively said: "According to Shen Bai's foolish opinion, this is actually a good thing, the brothers present today are all dragons and phoenixes among the people of Hanjing, no matter who wins the final victory, it is the blessing of Zhaoling, and it also means that soon, Your Majesty will have a few more loyal ministers and good generals." ”
When Shen Bai said this, he shook his head like a master, which was quite funny.
Emperor Hengde was originally seriously considering things, but when she interrupted him like this, he immediately put those things behind him and exclaimed: "Bai'er is right, no matter who wins in the end, it will be my Zhaoling's blessing." ”
Emperor Hengde laughed loudly, since the queen passed away, it was the first time he laughed like this, and Concubine De and Concubine Shu couldn't help but look at him more.
Shen Bai pleased Emperor Hengde, so he was naturally stayed, and the palace people immediately moved a chair to let her sit down, and also brought her melons and fruits.
Shen Bai was behaving at first, but after a while, he secretly took things to eat like a little mouse.
The teenagers were all warming up and preparing for a while for the competition, and Zhao Che was closer to Shen Bai, and when he saw this person shaking his calves and eating, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He was worried that she hadn't slept well all night, this person was fine, he should eat and drink, and he didn't have any.
Didn't she say she was going to catch fireflies? What about fireflies? Eaten by her?
The more Zhao Che thought about it, the more angry he became, his face was very gloomy, others didn't understand, and thought that he valued this competition very much, Zhou Jue came to Gu Hengzhou's side and asked in a low voice: "Brother Gu, His Royal Highness the Prince's face looks so ugly, if he really wants to win this competition, should we let him directly?" ”
Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhou Jue, and said coldly: "This is in front of the emperor, not Tai Academy, you dare to cheat?" ”
Zhou Jue shrunk his neck, he didn't really dare.
Compared with offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the crime of offending His Majesty is still greater.
The sun rose quickly, the weather was getting hotter, Gong E fanned the wind and didn't have a problem, Shen Bai was thirsty, poured two cups of tea, ran a thatched house, and the competition finally began.
In the first round of archery, the shooting was a fixed target.
There were not many people, everyone stood up in turn, each adjusted the bow and crossbow, and when it was ready, the palace people sounded the gong and began to compete.
Everyone was focused on their arrow target, Zhao Che also suppressed his attention to Shen Bai, looked at his target intently, and was about to shoot an arrow, when a heaven-shattering roar sounded in his ears: "Brother Gu, come on, I am optimistic about you on behalf of the little girl in Quanhanjing!" ”
Shen Bai's throat was full of anger, Zhao Che's hand shook, the first arrow shot crookedly, and at the edge of the target, Gu Hengzhou was even more exaggerated, and directly missed the target.
The two looked back at the culprit at the same time, Shen Bai stood directly on the chair regardless of his image, took out a stack of colorful sweat towels and waved them in his hand, like a moving moth.
Gu Hengzhou glanced out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Che's temples jumped twice suddenly, and he wanted to catch the little rabbit cub and beat him up.
Sun Yuehai asked Emperor Hengde in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is this arrow counted?" ”
Shen Bai heard it at the tip of his ear, and hurriedly took over the conversation: "Of course you have to count, why not?" Brother Gu is a person who will go to the battlefield in the future, and there are more emergencies to face, you won't think that it was my roar that scared Brother Gu, right? ”
Shen Bai deliberately used honorifics, and Sun Yuehai hurriedly lowered his head and said that he couldn't afford it.
Shen Bai was deliberately making trouble, she just lied, the number of people who bet on Gu Hengzhou to win is the most, if Gu Hengzhou really wins, she, the banker, will have to lose to death, everyone else is unpopular, and if anyone else wins the game, she can make a lot of money.
In the future, she herself will be a small mobile vault, so she will not reach out and ask Old Man Shen and the annoying Sun family for money.
Emperor Hengde also saw that Shen Bai was deliberate, but he felt that Shen Bai was reasonable, the young people present were going to achieve great things in the future, they had the ability to adapt to changes, and they had the ability to bear the gains and losses of victory and defeat.
Emperor Hengde hoped that this arrow would count, and the competition would continue.
Shen Bai also knew that Emperor Hengde was acquiescing in making trouble to make the competition more difficult, and this time he became even more blatant, it seemed that he was helping Gu Hengzhou cheer up, but in fact, he wanted Gu Hengzhou to be distracted and miss.
However, Gu Hengzhou's mind is very comparable, and he was only interfered with by Shen Bai three times, and his later performance was very stable.
Immediately behind Gu Hengzhou were Zhao Che and Zhou Jue.
Zhao Che originally didn't care about winning or losing these competitions, but Shen Bai kept arguing in his ears, which made him feel very noisy, and he unconsciously attached importance to the results of the comparison tests.
The ten arrows of the fixed target were shot quickly, and the second round began to compare riding, shooting the movable target on horseback, which was very difficult and the hit rate was very low.
The boys were only in their teens, and after they got on the horse, almost every arrow missed the target.
However, after a few arrows, Gu Hengzhou mastered the trick first and shot at the target.
Even though it's just a fringe and the target count is low, it's inspiring enough.
At the end of the first round of fixed targets, Zhou Jue was the first as a dark horse, Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou were second together, the difference in the number of targets between the three was not big, and after Gu Hengzhou shot the active target, he caught up all of a sudden.
Shen Bai became nervous, afraid that his small treasury would be ruined, and he would have to pay out all the pots and pans of the Taifu Mansion, so he didn't care so much, and shouted loudly: "Everyone cooperate quickly, stop the surname Gu, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince win, what are you doing stupidly!" ”
"I'll go, what is this little broken boy yelling about?" Zhou Jue muttered, and shot another arrow, and Gu Hengzhou also missed, because the two brothers of the Qian family suddenly rode over and stopped him.
Shen Bai's words reminded everyone that with their true skills, they can't even enter the top three, but if they can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince win, it can be regarded as showing their faces in front of the emperor, and there is always no harm to their future careers.
Zhao Che still has the heart of a young man, looking at the problem at his age, if he wants to win, he must rely on his own ability to win openly, what kind of skill is relying on others? Let's have a book
But Shen Bai shouted so loudly over there, he heard Shen Bai shouting Gu Hengzhou's name, and asked Gu Hengzhou to quickly break out of the encirclement, so that Hanjing became famous in a battle and became the most powerful young man.
Zhao Che suddenly became less resistant to the help of others.
He didn't want Gu Hengzhou to win.
Wu Shouxin also joined the camp of the two brothers of the Qian family, and stopped Gu Hengzhou together, Zhou Jue shouted that he wanted to help Gu Hengzhou break through but did not succeed, Gu Hengzhou later missed several arrows, Zhao Che hit two arrows in a row, and the number of targets overtook Gu Hengzhou and rose to the first.
When several young people were about to fight with their tempers, the competition ended, and Zhao Che won the final victory.
"Whew, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too powerful!"
Shen Bai was the most cheerful in the audience, Zhou Jue was so angry, if it weren't for Emperor Hengde watching, he couldn't wait to catch Shen Bai and bite it twice.
This little broken boy is really annoying, what kind of tricks are there?
Emperor Hengde was very satisfied with today's competition, and praised and rewarded the teenagers present, calmed the anger of the teenagers, and asked the palace people to prepare meals to treat them.
Zhao Che was called by Emperor Hengde alone to talk to the imperial study.
Emperor Hengde was very satisfied with Zhao Che's performance, he was originally worried that Zhao Che would refuse other people's help through the temperament of a young man, in fact, imperial power is like this, the reason why he has to learn so many imperial techniques is to learn to delegate power and let people he trust do what he wants.
For example, the king generally does not go to the battlefield in person, so the military power must be handed over to someone who is superior in the art of war and skills, but to prevent the opponent's high achievements from shocking the master, it is necessary to set up many clamps.
Many people may think this is despicable, but for a good monarch, it is wisdom.
Zhao Che took the first step today, and Emperor Hengde was very happy.
Zhao Che didn't think about it so much at the time, but after Emperor Hengde praised him, he slowly came back to his senses.
The father and son discussed together for a while, and Emperor Hengde had to deal with other things, and let Zhao Che go back to have dinner with the other teenagers.
When Zhao Che walked into the banquet hall, Shen Bai was being sandwiched under his arm by Zhou Jue like a chick.
Zhou Jue and Gu Hengzhou have a good relationship, so they naturally want to fight for Gu Hengzhou.
Shen Bai couldn't beat Zhou Jue, but he didn't spare people, and he didn't know where he learned the swear words, and he almost finished greeting Zhou Jue's ancestors for the eighteen generations.
Zhou Jue didn't know how to scold, he was so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick, and he wanted to strangle Shen Bai on the spot, Zhao Che walked over quickly and rescued Shen Bai.
Shen Bai didn't hold a grudge at this time, he hid behind Zhao Che and complained loudly: "Your Highness, the surnamed Zhou does not admit defeat and scolds you for being a despicable villain." ”
It's you who scolds the master!
Zhou Jue glared at Shen Bai viciously, only feeling that Shen Bai's mouth really should be sewn up with a needle.
Zhao Che looked at Zhou Jue and said, "It's just an ordinary competition, don't care so much." ”
Zhao Che had spoken, and Zhou Jue couldn't say anything, so he could only say sullenly: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true." ”
Zhao Che pulled Shen Bai to his side and sat down.
The teenagers were tired and hungry, Emperor Hengde was not there, they ate quite freely, Shen Bai never stopped, and he didn't let him eat, he kept stuffing his mouth, and his cheeks were bulging.
Zhao Che frowned, afraid that she would choke, so he couldn't help but say, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”
Shen Bai replied vaguely, but still didn't stop.
How did Zhao Che know that she was afraid of being blocked and beaten by this group of people, and wanted to slip away quickly after eating.
Finally finished eating first, Shen Bai burped and wanted to run, Zhao Che opened his mouth before her, and ordered in a deep voice: "Xiaobei, take Young Master Shen to eliminate food, she eats too much, and it is easy to accumulate food." ”
Xiaobei stepped forward immediately, Shen Bai had never seen anyone of the same age as him in the palace, he was a little curious, thinking that it would be safer to wait for others to leave the palace before leaving, so he touched his stomach and walked with Xiaobei.
Xiaobei was timid, and he didn't dare to go anywhere else, so he took Shen Bai back to Yichen Palace directly.
Yichen Palace is still the same as before, Shen Bai is very familiar with this place, and he doesn't treat himself as an outsider, and after walking for a while, he began to feel sleepy, and he didn't wronged himself, so he lay down on Zhao Che's bed and fell asleep directly.
Xiaobei had never seen Shen Bai in the palace before, and she was worried for a while, for fear that Zhao Che would be angry when she came back, but Zhao Che came back and saw Shen Bai sleeping like a pig on the bed, and she was not angry at all, but helped her tuck the quilt.
Xiao Bei's eyes widened in shock, and he soon realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually very good to this Young Master Shen.
Becky put a heart back in her stomach.
This afternoon, Shen Bai was sleeping in Yichen Palace, and Zhao Che was reading outside, the two did not disturb each other, but they were unexpectedly beautiful.
Shen Bai woke up in the evening, she slept in a daze, and when she woke up, she thought she was in Taifu's mansion, yelling for someone to come and put shoes on her.
Xiao Bei heard the sound and wanted to move, Zhao Che put down the book first and got up, Xiao Bei hesitated and withdrew, Zhao Che walked to the side of the bed and helped Shen Bai put on his shoes.
Shen Bai eats a lot and sleeps well, he looks white and fat, and his feet are also meaty, Zhao Chetuo looked at it in his hand, and whispered: "If you eat it again, you will become a pig." ”
Shen Bai rubbed his eyes, saw Zhao Che clearly, and was not afraid, and asked sneeringly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you?" ”
"What do you say?"
Zhao Che asked rhetorically, Shen Bai remembered that he was asleep here, he smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep, mainly because His Highness's bed is too comfortable to sleep on, and there is a smell of His Highness on it." ”
Shen Bai's mouth was sweet, Zhao Che didn't plan to bother with her, but when he heard her sycophants, his eyebrows raised slightly, helped her put on her shoes, and said, "Go out and breathe, and I'll be ready to eat in a while." ”
"Gotcha!"
Shen Baihuan jumped out of bed happily.
There are so many delicious foods in the palace, and she is especially willing to go back after eating.
The dinner was more varied than usual, Shen Bai had to eat again, and Zhao Che also ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
After eating, Shen Bai wanted to walk home slowly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Che said, "Don't worry, go around first." ”
Shen Bai obediently hiccuped and walked around behind him.
When I turned to the Imperial Garden, the lotus pond suddenly rose one after another bright spots the size of green beans.
Shen Bai didn't pay attention at first, but when there were green dots on the entire lotus pond, his eyes widened in amazement: "Wow, what is this, so beautiful!" ”
"Fireflies." Zhao Che said that by the light of the fireflies, he saw Shen Bai's surprised expression lying on the railing, his heart was surging with warmth, and he was very happy, even happier than the last time he saw the fireflies she gave.
"How can there be so many fireflies here?"
Shen Bai asked, of course Zhao Che wouldn't tell her that he had specially asked the dead man to go outside the palace to arrest him.
"Is it pretty?" Zhao Che asked, Shen Bai nodded without hesitation, and said, "It's good-looking." ”
Zhao Che rubbed her head and said lightly: "I've seen enough here, don't catch fireflies in the future." ”
She was very reckless, and she didn't know what kind of danger she would encounter, and he was not at ease.
"How did Your Highness know that I was going to catch fireflies?"
Shen Bai looked curious, Zhao Che didn't answer, and he didn't mention the original agreement.
After watching the fireflies with Shen Bai for a long time, he went back.
Shen Bai stayed overnight in Yichen Palace, and the next day Zhao Che sent someone to send her out of the palace, but Shen Bai did not take the carriage home with Mrs. Shen of the next dynasty, but suddenly disappeared without a trace.
