Chapter 54: A False Shot
When I arrived at the Mulan paddock, the surrounding vegetation was dense, and flocks of birds flew by from time to time on the horizon. When Wei Xiyue saw such a scene, her chest was open, and she didn't feel the itch in her hands, so she picked up the longbow behind her back, took the bow and arrows, and prepared to show her skills.
Seeing this, Huo Lingshen was very happy in his heart, and picked up the longbow excitedly, "Xiyue, let's try it!" With this as the starting point, we return to this place after an hour to see who has the most prey and wins. ”
Wei Xiyue rejected him without thinking, firstly because she didn't want to expose her true strength, and secondly, because she didn't want to embarrass Huo Lingshen.
Seeing this, Huo Lingxiao changed his previous silent appearance, and persuaded with great interest: "It is difficult for him to come out to hunt, so what if you agree." ”
The rumors are true, Huo Lingxiao really loves his younger brother very much, Wei Xiyue thought of the childish child at home, her heart softened, and she agreed to Huo Lingshen's request.
The three of them parted and galloped in the boundless hunting ground, Wei Xiyue was refreshed, recalling the momentum of killing Lu Lu on the battlefield at the beginning, and his interest became more and more high.
Huo Lingxiao didn't come here today just to hunt, so he wasn't very serious. He flicked the reins and walked slowly to the edge of a cliff. This is the highest point of the Magnolia paddock, and it is located on top of it, and the paddock has an unobstructed view. He looked around aimlessly, and a bright red broke into his eyes, which turned out to be Wei Xiyue.
Watching Wei Xiyue galloping on the boundless grassland, Huo Lingxiao was also a little interested. He rolled over his horse, whipped his whip several times, and rushed towards the shadow.
Wei Xiyue was galloping on the grassland, when she suddenly felt the wind behind her, and another horse followed. She looked back and saw that it was Huo Lingxiao and the sturdy dark horse. It didn't take long for Huo Lingxiao to catch up, Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao pulled the reins almost at the same time, and both horses slowed down.
The two men no longer struck their horses forward, but put the reins of their horses and believed in the reins, and the two horses did not scatter away, but went hand in hand in a graceful manner.
"This is rare, my Lingyun is arrogant, and I never want to go forward like this with other horses."
"It seems that I am also fated to the Third Highness, my horse was left to me by my father, and my temperament is also very uninhibited, and there are few companions she is willing to wait for over the years."
Wei Xiyue vaguely had something to say, Huo Lingxiao thought so, and continued to chat.
"It's an extremely rare thing to have fellow travelers, most of the time, or alone, just like my Lingyun, for so many years, I have never met a horse willing to walk with me, but fortunately I met you today."
When Wei Xiyue heard this, she was very emotional. Isn't this the case in his previous life, stepping on the sea of corpses and blood all the way, carrying the burden of his own house, going through ridicule, sarcasm and framing, not only was he tortured to death, but he didn't even protect his most precious relatives.
She looked at the black horse and was very kind. He reached out and touched the horse's smooth mane. When Huo Lingxiao saw Wei Xiyue's move, he wanted to stop it, but seeing that Ling Yun did not resist, he even rubbed her palm affectionately, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Huo Lingxiao raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and said, "The hour is almost up, let's go back, seeing that you have gained a lot, Ling Shen should be disappointed." ”
Wei Xiyue said with a smile: "Then according to his temperament, he will definitely start to condemn me again." Let's see who makes it to the finish line first. Before she could finish speaking, her figure was already a few feet away. Huo Lingxiao laughed and followed Wei Xiyue's back.
The two of them said no more, and galloped towards the origin with their whips.
The two voices were different, but the same hearty laughter came, and Huo Lingxiao and Wei Xiyue raced heartily. At the end of the road, Huo Lingshen was already waiting, and when he saw the two of them, one black and one red, walking side by side, they felt like a fairy couple, and their hearts were very sour, and they chased after them with the prey they had hunted.
The results of the competition were not as expected by Huo Lingxiao, and Wei Xiyue narrowly won with one more bird. Huo Lingshen saw that Wei Xiyue's interest was undiminished, and proposed: "Why don't we race the horse again, why didn't you call me for the horse race before." ”
Wei Xiyue sneered: "Your Highness Eleventh, you are so old, why are you still coquettish in front of Your Highness, just like my younger brother." ”
Huo Lingxiao laughed loudly, "My younger brother is a child who doesn't grow up, it's very good. ”
Huo Lingshen was annoyed and angry, and whipped the horse and quickly ran away.
Between the words, the three of them had come to the city gate. After entering the city, the three of them slowed down and chatted while sending Wei Xiyue back to the Wei Mansion.
"Third brother, do you think Xiyue looks good?" Huo Lingshen's eyes rolled and asked tentatively.
Huo Lingxiao didn't answer, but just asked, "Ling Shen, why do you ask like this, do you think Xiyue is not good-looking?" ”
Huo Lingshen didn't hesitate to speak, "How is it possible!" Xiyue couldn't be more beautiful in my heart. ”
Wei Xiyue listened to Huo Lingshen's childish remarks and laughed with Huo Lingxiao.
In the next few days, the Wei Mansion was calm on the surface, but in fact, it was secretly turbulent, Mrs. Wei and the second room family focused on Wei Feiyu's entrance exam, and there was no major movement, and the third room was as obscure as ever, hiding all the sense of existence.
Wei Xiyue knew in her heart that although the second room no longer paid attention to herself now, Xiaohuan occasionally bumped into a corner of the clothes in the rockery in the courtyard. Every time Xiaohuan reported the situation to herself, Wei Xiyue always sneered in her heart, Erfang's behavior has never changed over the years.
Wei Xiyue indulges in the house every day, neither going out to socialize, nor learning from teachers, and all day long is nothing more than playing sparrow cards with maids. I always get up at three o'clock during the day, go to bed early at night, and spend the rest of my time mingling with the maids, playing cards, drinking and feasting, and having fun.
Chen listened to the reports every day, and watched Wei Xiyue sink day by day, and his heart was secretly happy. The hanging heart gradually fell. When Wei Feiyu complained to herself again about the teacher's strictness, Chen couldn't help but leak his mouth.
"Really?" Wei Feiyu happily confirmed, "Wei Xiyue really can't support the wall with mud, it's okay to say that she was exempt from the exam before, but now she gave up this precious opportunity, and she really gave up on herself." ”
Thinking that Wei Xiyue was indulging in pleasure day by day, and that there was one less competitor for him, Wei Feiyu gradually relaxed in her daily practice.
For Wei Feiyu's laxity, all the teachers are aware of it, seeing Wei Feiyu's performance in class getting worse and worse, the teachers uphold the teacher's morality, and can't help but jointly write a book, reflecting Wei Feiyu's problems to Chen.
Chen saw the heavy joint letter on the table, Zhang Huang sighed in a daze, this child is becoming more and more ignorant, and blames himself for telling her the news, Chen blames himself very much.
"Sister Yu'er, come, my mother will talk to you." Chen thought about it and chose to have a long talk with his daughter.
"Sister Yu, now Wei Xiyue's little cheap hooves can't support the wall, but you don't dare to relax like this."
"Eh, don't worry, mother, I know it in my heart." Wei Feiyu impatiently perfunctory to her mother, "The fourth prince is still waiting for me, mother, I'll leave first." Turning briskly to leave, Chen looked at her carefree back, and his helplessness was even worse.
Chen Nai Wei Concubine was helpless, so she had to ask for help from Mrs. Wei.
When Mrs. Wei heard what Chen said, she didn't show any show on her face, but just waved her hand to tell Chen to stand down, and then called Wei Zi. Wei Zi accompanied Chen's side day and day, watching Chen's worry about Wei Feiyu day and night, he couldn't help but be biased towards Chen's in his heart, and after stating the situation as fairly as possible, Wei Zi also retreated.
In the dark Buddha hall, the flames of the ever-bright lamp were dancing, and the expression of Mrs. Wei was obscure.
The next day, Mrs. Wei sent someone to call Wei Feiyu, and as soon as Wei Feiyu entered the old lady's room, she threw herself into Mrs. Wei's arms and coquettish.
"Grandmother, recently my grandson heard that Wei Xiyue and the maid play cards and play every day, but the grandson is struggling to do his homework, with her as a comparison, the grandson will definitely be able to pass the exam."
Old Madam Wei listened to Wei Feiyu's optimistic remarks, touched her hair, and smiled kindly: "Okay, grandmother believes in you." ”
Saying that Wei Xiyue is like this every day, the Liu family can't help but worry, that day, while the three of them had dinner together, the Liu family asked worriedly: "Sister Yue, it won't be long before the entrance exam of Tianci Academy, for my mother to see your behavior every day, I am really a little worried." With that, he picked up his sleeve and wiped away his tears.
Wei Xiyue couldn't see her mother crying, and swore that she would definitely be able to pass the exam, and asked her mother to believe in herself, but her plan was inconvenient to talk to her mother, it was just an empty oath.
Liu Shixin said that this child has changed a lot now, and he can't say anything more, so he has to give up.
After dinner, Wei Xiyue got up and said goodbye: "Mother, brother, I'll leave first." Liu Shi looked at her back and hugged Wei Qinghe in his arms.
Wei Xiyue returned to the small courtyard, not to drink and enjoy as imagined by the outside world, but to go straight into the study, and rotated a few antiquities on the Bogu shelf on the side, the Bogu shelf slowly rotated, leaking out of a door behind the wall, which was originally a secret room left by his father to Wei Xiyue.
In the past few days, it turned out that Wei Xiyue did not relax her practice, but confused the second room family by indulging in greed, drinking and having fun during the day, and studying and practicing hard in this secret room at night.
Wei Xiyue entered the secret room, and she was not in a hurry to practice at first, but slowly studied the ink. The supple sheep's hair drew a beautiful hairpin on the paper, and after writing, Wei Xiyue took a closer look, folded the letter paper a few times, and put it in the envelope.
"The Third Highness personally opened, Wei Xiyue respectfully" On the envelope, this line was written.
This letter was originally addressed to Huo Lingxiao to thank him for the treasures he sent. After Huo Lingxiao finished hunting that day, he sent someone to send several treasures left by his mother, all of which were of great help to Wei Xiyue, thanks to these treasures, Wei Xiyue's training process was able to progress by leaps and bounds, thinking of this, Wei Xiyue's heart warmed, this world is not indifferent and calculating after all.
