Chapter 006: Brother

In the morning, Li Xuan'er was woken up by the birds on the apricot tree in the yard, the apricots were slightly yellow, falling on the branches, like strings of wind chimes.

She vaguely heard the sound of the palace maid chasing birds under the tree.

Xuan'er sat up, and the wood fragrance waiting outside, she stretched out her head to the outer hall and said, "The princess is awake." ”

Five or six palace maids came in from outside, carrying copper basins, kettles, towels, salt water for gargling, and tea. Xuan'er looked at them carefully, and she couldn't even call their names.

She wiped her face, looked up and asked the palace maid holding the basin, "What's your name?" ”

The palace maid was startled, thinking that she had done something wrong, and hurriedly said tremblingly:

"Small...... The little one's name is Bai Ying......"

"What about you?" Li Xuan'er asked the person holding the kettle next to her, obviously, the two of them were older than the others.

"Back to the princess, the little one is called Bai Zhi."

Li Xuan'er smiled: "Your names are all herbs, very good." ”

"The princess forgot? We all have names from Chao Meiren, she said, it's called ...... Poison is inviolable! Mu Lan took the towel from the princess's hand, put it in the basin and washed it, and wrung it out to wipe the princess's hands.

Li Xuan'er looked at Bai Ying and Bai Zhi, and said with a smile: "Don't bother guarding that tree, let the birds eat apricots if they like to eat them." ”

"We are not afraid of birds eating apricots, this apricot is sour, the princess does not like to eat it. It's because the birds are noisy until the princess sleeps......" Bai Ying said with some embarrassment.

Li Xuan'er felt like a warm flow in her heart, she took the salt water and rinsed her mouth, and said with a smile:

"Don't be afraid of their noise, the birds and flowers are peaceful and prosperous. I don't know how many times better than the sound of iron hooves stepping on dirty snow. ”

The maidservants in the room all laughed easily, even though they did not know why the princess was so compared.

Mu Xiang followed the princess to the field in front of the Qingsi Palace.

Although it is also a harem, the palace, horse farm, and martial arts field in the east have many princes and guards, and the emperor also likes to bring his ministers in to play.

Concubines and princesses are generally in the palace in the west, and in the east, Li Xuan'er in the past will not set foot at all.

In the distance, Li Xuan'er heard the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, and someone was shouting:

"Spread out left and right, spread out! Surround that Tanshunu! ”

Who is that not Li Wen?

The seventeen-year-old brother unconsciously turned into a deep voice, who is he scolding?

In his previous life, he died in the bed of a concubine, and the imperial doctor said that he took too much pill and died of poisoning.

Li Xuan'er originally thought that he didn't cherish himself and suffered by himself. It wasn't until she died that she knew that the royal brother, like the horse, died unexpectedly.

Before she could reach the edge of the field, she heard an exclamation, and saw a polo ball spinning in the distance, carrying the wind, heading towards her.

"Sister dodge!"

What is Dodge?

Before Xuan'er could react, a horse rushed over, and the person on the horse swung the club with both hands, and with a "bang" blow, the wooden ball was knocked back into the center of the field.

It's dangerous! Everyone was shocked into a cold sweat.

"It's still Zheng Saburo!" The praise is endless.

Immediately, the man had his back to the princess, wearing a robe with narrow sleeves, black riding boots, a dark turban, and a moon-sting staff in his hand.

He didn't look at the princess, he clamped his legs, pulled the reins, and went back to the field.

Li Xuan'er's hanging heart was put down, she knew that the person who hit the ball was Zheng Hao, the enemy in her previous life.

What made her strange was that in his previous life, he hated the prince the most for not doing his job, indulging in playing polo, and scolding Sang and Huai in the mansion all day long, indicating that Jun Xuanzong had no successor.

Now, how does he ...... Playing so well yourself?

You know, polo is made of light and hard wood, hollow balls, the size of a man's fist, to use that elbow cane, to hit the ball back from the air, without full strength, this is almost impossible.

Zheng Hao...... Isn't he a powerless scholar?

"Sister, why are you here?"

Li Wen had already turned over and dismounted, and ran towards Xuan'er, he was tall and thin, with a bright smile, and he was still a young man at this time.

"I'll come to see you, do you only know how to play, but don't know how to read." Li Xuan'er's heart was warm, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe her brother's sweat.

Xuan'er is Li Wen's own sister, the age difference between the two is only two years, Li Wen moved out of the palace, and before opening the palace, he could often see his sister.

It's just that my sister doesn't move well, so she likes to sit and read, and she can't remember the book when she dies, and her sister will remember it after reading it once. Li Wen only felt that his sister was more beautiful and better than the beauty in the painting.

Every time he enters the palace to ask for peace, what he is busiest is to search for fun things in Chang'an City, bring them to his sister, and be satisfied if he can amuse her.

Seeing his sister wiping his sweat for himself, Li Wen was happy in his heart, and hurriedly explained:

"I'm not playing, my master said, playing polo is not only to strengthen the body, but also to use the two teams to fight, to practice the art of war, we are a military battle."

"Really? Who said that the play was so fresh and refined? Li Xuan'er didn't believe it, thinking that her brother was making excuses.

"Don't believe me? I called my master over. ”

Before Xuan'er could stop it, Li Wen had already turned around and shouted towards the field:

"Master! My sister wants to see you! ”

Li Xuan'er's scalp was numb: It was really a pot that couldn't be opened, and the person who came was Zheng Hao.

"I've seen a princess."

Li Xuan'er saw him with a natural face, as if she didn't recognize that she was the little Langjun who fell from the tree yesterday, and she didn't mind that she refused to marry in public in the main hall yesterday.

Hum! Sure enough, it was exactly what he wanted.

It was Li Wen who remembered this incident in hindsight: his sister just refused to marry his master yesterday.

"Master, my sister doesn't believe that we can practice the art of war by playing polo. You tell her about it briefly, but she's a woman, don't talk about it too complicated, or she won't understand. ”

Li Wen decided to play a round for the two of them, carrying his sister behind his back, and squeezed his eyes at Zheng Hao.

Zheng Hao pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and said:

"Emperor Xuanzong established the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple, these ten philosophers, in addition to the chief priest Jiang Shang, Qin Wu Anjun Bai Qi, Han Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin, Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Tang Shangshu's right servant shot Wei Guo Gong Li Jing, Sikong British Gong Li Ji.

Zhang Liang, the young master of the Han Dynasty, Sima Tian Sui Tho of Qi, Sun Wu, the general of Wu, Wu Qi, the commander of Wei Xihe, and Le Yi, the monarch of Yanchang. If you want to learn the art of war, you must start with the writings they left behind.

However, the art of war is not for the sake of talking about war on paper, but more about learning to adapt measures to local conditions and apply them flexibly. Polo is opposed in sports, and it can be achieved through the virtual and real in the art of war, and the prediction ......"

Deliberately, absolutely deliberately! He deliberately said such a long ranking word.

However, Xuan'er could understand what he said, because Zheng Hao had also written a lot of such annotations in the military books he read.

She said quietly: "Xuan'er understands, brother, you just do what your master says, I'll go first." ”

"Huh? Sister, you're wearing a riding suit, are you planning to come over for horseback riding? ”

Li Wen is very happy, my sister doesn't like sports, she always hides in the palace and doesn't see anyone, but today she actually took the initiative to come to the field to see herself, and the sun really came out in the west.

"No, I don't ride a horse." Li Xuan'er casually pointed to the front and disguised: "I'm going to shoot arrows in the martial arts field over there." ”

She didn't want to stay with Zheng Hao, although what she had seen in the past two days was simply a fake Zheng Hao, but she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Archery? When did you learn archery? Then I'll go with you. The master gave me a good bow, just to open my sister's eyes. ”

"Master? How many masters have you worshipped? ”

Li Xuan'er was a little happy in her heart.

His father did not arrange for his brother to be a military general as a teacher, which was his biggest weakness after the dynasty, and without the support of close military generals, he could not get rid of the dependence of the opponent on the eunuchs of the forbidden army.

"My master is only one, polo, archery, and martial arts, my master is so powerful!"
