Chapter 90: Intimacy
"I heard that the envoys from southern Xinjiang are coming to Beijing?" Tong Yan followed the horse's fur without a match, and her eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with brilliance.
Cheng Huai glanced at her with a surprised smile, "The county lord is well-informed, but it will probably be autumn when the envoys from southern Xinjiang arrive in Beijing." ”
Tong Yan smiled and said, "The envoys from southern Xinjiang are here, won't they want to make peace?" ”
After returning from the temple, Tong Yan has been thinking about it until she heard that the envoys from southern Xinjiang had come to Beijing, and her mind moved.
The people of southern Xinjiang made such a plan in Chongguo Temple, if Princess Anle could not get into this matter with Cheng Huai, then she would inevitably return to the palace, whether it was the Queen Mother or the Holy Queen, they would take strict care of Princess Anle, not only that, but they would also arrange a marriage for Princess Anle as soon as possible, so that she could marry out quickly.
If she guessed correctly, the queen mother is now having a headache for Princess Anle's marriage.
And not long after this incident, Nanjiang sent people to come, which shows that they had premeditated, so Tong Yan had a bold guess, that is, they wanted to come to Nanjiang to marry Princess Anle.
It's just that this series of things, whether it is monitoring or implementation, is indispensable for the spies and ghosts in southern Xinjiang to act as a medium.
And this person who reported the news must be by Princess Anle's side, or is very familiar with all this.
Tong Yan couldn't think of who it was, maybe it might be the palace maid next to An Le.
But none of these things were for her to explore.
"I don't know." As soon as Cheng Huai's words fell, he was slightly stunned and laughed, as if every time the county lord asked a question, he was answering that he didn't know.
He thought for a moment and said, "However, it makes sense for you to think so. He looked at Tong Yan's subtle smile and knew that she had already thought of the matter of Chongguo Temple.
"It's just that this matter is not so easy, Concubine Shu cherishes her daughter and will not agree easily." He shook his head.
What Cheng Huai said is not unreasonable, this is Concubine Shu's biological daughter, she is very pampered on weekdays, how can she bear to marry her far away?
But if southern Xinjiang is not sure, how can it resort to such means? Isn't that a wasted effort?
Tong Yan frowned and thought for a long time.
Cheng Huai looked at her slightly wrinkled and serious little face, and interrupted with a smile, "I heard Mr. Gong say, you have only studied for more than a month, and you can already hit every step out of seventy?" He asked suddenly, Tong Yan was slightly stunned, and she didn't know how many steps away from archery she was on weekdays.
"I don't know if the county lord has brought a bow and arrows, let me open my eyes." Cheng Huai looked at her blank expression and smiled even deeper.
"I brought it, but there is no target in this one?" Tong Yan looked around.
"It's okay, there's a target in the field next to it."
Anyway, I can't ride a horse, it's still early at noon, Tong Yan beckoned to Qingzhi on the edge of the field, and shouted for her to bring her bow and arrows regardless of her image.
Cheng Huai, who was suddenly sonic at this sudden loud shock, couldn't help but squint his eyes and take a step back.
Tong Yan noticed his little movements, and she smiled apologetically at him, "Did it scare you?" ”
"That's not true, the county lord's voice is okay?" He raised his eyebrows and narrowly spoke.
Tong Yan's face flushed, wrinkled her delicate little nose, made a grimace, and said in a heartfelt voice, "Don't shout loudly, how does she know what I want?" ”
"Makes sense." Cheng Huai nodded in agreement, "But next time you can tell me about such a thing, I'll shout, or, I'll get it." His eyes burned, and he looked at Tong Yan and smiled.
Where could Tong Yan stand such a look, she hurriedly turned her head, just as Qingzhi and Ji Yue came over with bows and arrows, she hurriedly ran away, greeted her, and took her bow and arrows.
Qingzhi wondered, "County Lord, don't you need the servants to take it?" ”
"No, I'll take it." Cheng Huai's voice came clearly from behind Tong Yan, and with a stretch of his long arm, he took the bow and quiver directly from her hand.
Tong Yan's eyes widened slightly, and she took a step forward in a bit of panic before turning to look at him.
"Let's go." Cheng Huai raised the corners of his lips and motioned for her to follow him.
Tong Yan's heart seemed to be carrying a rabbit, and she kept jumping.
She looked at Cheng Huai's back with annoyance, she was really beautiful and misleading, and she was very flustered every time.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Huai turned his head and looked at her standing in place suspiciously.
Tong Yan puffed out her cheeks, trotted a few steps, and followed him.
The strange thing is that there is not even a soldier's figure along the way, don't you know that she is coming, and they all avoid it? She stepped out of the fence of the racecourse and looked around.
Cheng Huai led her to the right, and after a few steps, she entered another field, and there was still no one in it, and a smooth target was placed in the field.
"Just wait in the door." Tong Yan instructed not to let them go in again.
There is no turning back from the bow, and it will not be good if it hurts them again.
Qingzhi and Ji Yue both thought that the county lord didn't like people to watch her shoot arrows, and in the past, whether the county lord practiced in the morning or Mr. Gong came to teach the county lord archery, the county lord didn't like anyone to follow.
The two of them didn't care, and they were accustomed to responding.
Cheng Huai had already walked to a distance of seventy steps away from the target and looked at her.
Tong Yan hurriedly ran over.
"You're good with this bow." Cheng Huai rubbed her bow and praised.
Anyone who has seen her bow has not praised it, Tong Yan has become accustomed to it.
He picked up an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and shot it with a whoosh, effortlessly hitting the bull's-eye.
"Good bow." He praised again and handed the bow to Tong Yan. "Here you go."
Now for her, a distance of seventy paces, she can easily shoot.
She picked up the arrow, drew her bow and took aim with one eye open.
"Wait a minute." Cheng Huai said loudly.
Tong Yan glanced at him suspiciously.
Cheng Huai frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "Is there a bit of a problem with your posture?" "Tong Yan is a little weak-hearted, her posture is indeed a bit of a problem, Mr. Gong has also said more than once, although it does not affect her accuracy of archery, but if you are used to it, it is not good for the body.
"You're not doing it right." He nodded her back and said, "Use your back muscles to exert force." ”
Tong Yan's arm was a little tired, relaxed, and pulled the bow again, trying to use her back muscles to exert force.
"Yes." Cheng Huai nodded, and before he could say anything more, Tong Yan relaxed again.
She smiled and said, "I'm not very good at using my back muscles." ”
"It's okay, I'll teach you." Cheng Huai stood directly behind her, his hand was very big, directly covering her delicate little hand, holding her hand in his hand, and pulling the bow together.
His warm snort sprayed on the top of her head, and the faint scent of books on his body permeated the tip of her nose, making Tong Yan lose her mind and suffocate for a moment.
"Relax." His deep voice rang in his ears.
Tong Yan's cheeks and neck are constantly steaming, relaxing, so close, how can she relax? Her brain was almost like a pot of porridge.
"Archery is a serious matter, you need to be distracted, if you don't correct your posture, you will fall into trouble in the future." His voice grew stern.
