Chapter Ninety-Seven: Archery Competition
"Father, I want to try it too. Lin Yunmeng asked Lin Lin for his life.
"Do you know how to shoot?" Lin Lin frowned, he didn't seem to have asked his master to teach this.
"I'm a little self-taught, I'm not good at learning, but I should be able to show my hands. Lin Yunmeng said modestly, this explanation made Lin Lin believe a little, after all, he had never cared about her before, and he didn't know how she lived in private.
"Well, go ahead, be careful not to get hurt. ”
"The little baby of the Prime Minister's family, what does this mean to participate?" The emperor saw Lin Yunmeng get up, so he asked curiously.
"Back to the emperor, the little girl learns casually. Lin Lin hurriedly explained.
The emperor brushed his beard and glanced at Lin Yunmeng with relief: "Yes, I Xu Guo's sons and daughters are versatile, so I am even pleased, if you shoot well, I will reward you with a special thing." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. After Lin Yun thanked her, she went to the backyard house with the palace maid to change clothes.
She is wearing a streamer gauze skirt today, if she is not careful, it is easy to damage her clothes, so the royal preparation of riding knee pads is enough.
When Lin Yunmeng changed her clothes and appeared in the arena, it inevitably aroused many people's eyes and exclamations.
I saw the woman standing in the wind, her face was like a peach blossom and her lips were like red fruits, her narrow eyes were soaked in a pool of cold water, she was obviously a very bright face, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of heroism, and she seemed to have a faint sense of majesty and righteousness.
Dressed in a simple red and black riding outfit, she became more and more unrestrained, her black hair swayed gently in the wind, and she picked up a longbow with some unskill.
"Oh my God, this man is... The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's family? This is also beautiful, isn't it?"
"Heh! What's the use of beauty? Sensationalism, look at her movements, she doesn't know how to shoot at all, she deliberately came up to attract everyone's attention, I'm afraid she can't even hold a bow and arrow, hum!"
The mixed evaluation did not affect Lin Yunmeng, she only concentrated on adapting to the bow and arrow, and after easily picking up the bow, she tentatively put on the bow and arrow and squinted one eye, and the other eye was aimed at the target.
The strangeness between the movements made many people laugh, Lin Lin frowned slightly, and then slowly let go, maybe he should trust her more.
"Huh!" Lin Yunmeng finally shot the first arrow.
"Hahaha!" erupted in laughter and sighs from the audience.
It turned out that Lin Yunmeng's arrow not only did not hit, but was inserted into the target shaft.
Lin Lin's eyes couldn't help but flash with disappointment.
Lin Yunmeng turned a deaf ear to other people's discussions, but silently put on the bow and arrow again, and sure enough, he was still rusty, and it was inevitable after such a long time.
Many people were no longer optimistic about her, and turned their heads to look at other children, and Lin Yunmeng didn't shoot the second arrow for a long time, and the rest of the people also moved away quite boredly, and it happened that Xiao Yubei's fifth arrow hit the bull's-eye, which attracted everyone's attention at once, and even Lin Lin stopped looking at her.
And a man in white not far from the emperor looked silently at the woman's fluttering hair.
"Whew!" didn't attract anyone's attention.
Looking at the arrow in the middle of the red heart, the corners of Lin Yunmeng's mouth hooked up a very bright arc, and shot another arrow while the iron was hot.
It's bullseye again, the third arrow, the fourth arrow, all hit!!
When it was time for the fifth arrow, Lin Yunmeng paused, she didn't want to win the first place, so Lin Yunmeng deliberately lowered one point.
"Smack!" the fifth arrow landed on the target shaft, the same height as the first arrow.
Finally after a handful of addiction, Lin Yunmeng quietly left the scene, her scene full of confidence and calmness, only the master and servant in the crowd saw it.
The jaw of the sea fell directly to the ground, and he saw that his master had been staring in one direction, so he looked over curiously, and saw such an unbelievable scene.
"Master, master, Miss Lin, this is too powerful, isn't it?" Can you see Lin Yunmeng's almost terrifying accuracy in the sea?
Xu Qingke smiled silently, with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction that only he understood her.
And when some people found out that the three arrows were in the bull's-eye, they thought that this result was shot by Lin Yunmeng at first, but after thinking about it, maybe someone else replaced her shot, so a group of people began to search for the owner of this excellent result, but they inquired, and no one knew who that person was.
The emperor didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Yunmeng, he just thought that she gave up without shooting, seeing that the promised reward was gone, Xu Qing Ke Chong Prince Xu Ruizhi said something.
Xu Rui glanced at Lin Yunmeng with a shocked face, and then approached the emperor and whispered a few words, even the emperor couldn't help but glance at the Prime Minister's Mansion a few times, and then laughed a few times, nodded and ordered the eunuchs around him.
Everyone was a little curious, and the eyes of the father and son were not very clear, and no one knew who the two were looking at.
Lin Yunmeng, who was sitting on the chair, raised her eyebrows, and after a while, a palace maid took a small brocade box and put it in front of Lin Yunmeng along with the tea she was served.
"Congratulations to the girl on her good results, this is the reward promised by the emperor. ”
Lin Yunmeng made a vague salute to the emperor, and took the box with a smile.
This palace maid's movements were not big, and they did not attract the attention of others.
After the palace maid left, Lin Lin looked at Lin Yunmeng with some surprise: "Meng'er, that's your grade?"
He was also a little puzzled at first, but after hearing the palace maid's words, he suddenly woke up.
"Hmm. Lin Yunmeng nodded coldly, opened the box, and inside was a Bu Yao, the gold flakes were wrapped around the ruby to make a budding flower, and the end of the long gold thread hung a small drop-shaped ruby, graceful and luxurious, warm and elegant.
Lin Yunmeng's smile was even more genuine, although she was not very interested in jewelry and the like, but this was money, bright and golden money, although it couldn't be sold, but it was also a pleasure to put it away.
She didn't miss the whispers of Xu Qingke and the prince at the beginning, so she raised her eyes, smiled at Xu Qingke, and opened her mouth to squirm.
Xu Qingke, who was sitting at the top, played a fan, the corners of his mouth hidden in the fan were involuntarily hooked, and his light-colored eyes seemed to be swaying.
He could see that she was saying "thank you".
Xu Ruizhi looked at his cousin whose eyebrows and eyes were full of pleasure, and then at Lin Yunmeng, and couldn't help but tease, he seemed to have found something terrible.
At the end of the first round of the fixed-target archery competition, the highest result was Xiao Yubei, who won the championship with three rounds of eight rings, one round of nine rings and one round of ten rings.
The emperor was naturally a dragon-faced Dayue, praised it, and then rewarded a valuable jade carving, and when this reward came out, the rest of the people immediately wanted to show themselves harder as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
