Chapter Eighty-Four: Mounted Shooting
Although Xing'er's voice was small, Su Wan still heard it clearly.
"Apricot, what are you muttering?"
Xing'er put the invitation on the table: "The slave didn't say anything, the princess is going to the banquet?" ”
Su Wan took a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth: "Go, why don't you go." ”
Xing'er was a little worried: "The banquet held by the eldest lady, the slave maid thinks that the princess still doesn't go." ”
Su Wan smiled: "Are you still afraid of what she will do to me in broad daylight, who said that I am attending a banquet, and I can't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see my mother?" ”
"Okay, of course, the slave will go and prepare, and congratulate the second lady on the gift that day."
Su Wan waved her hand: "Go!" ”
Before Xing'er walked to the door, Chu Mohan came in from outside, he didn't seem to see Xing'er, and almost bumped into Xing'er, but fortunately Xing'er reacted quickly, otherwise the two would have collided.
Chu Mohan crossed Xing'er and walked straight to the inner room.
"Imperial Princess, isn't it a little strange for the Nine Emperor Princes lately?"
Su Wan also noticed that Chu Mohan was a little abnormal in the past few days.
"Did the Nine Emperor Princes go out as soon as they finished breakfast these days?" Su Wan asked.
Apricot nodded.
Su Wan asked again, "Do you remember when the Nine Emperor Princes came back?" ”
Xing'er thought for a while: "The slave maid remembers that the Nine Emperor Princes came back almost when it was almost dark, and the one who came back today is relatively early. ”
Su Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, Chu Mohan shouldn't have carried her outside and secretly did something bad, right?
Su Wan quickly dispelled this thought, Chu Mohan was stupid, what bad things could he do outside, molesting women from good families, it was estimated that he would be beaten by women from good families, snatching the sugar gourd of the child, it was estimated that he would also be beaten by children, and it was even more impossible to go up the wall and remove the tiles.
Su Wan got up and walked to the back room.
Su Wan walked to the side of the bed and looked at Chu Mohan, who was already asleep on the bed, he looked very tired.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Coming out of the back room; "Xing'er, you go and come to the nameless, I have something I want to ask him."
Apricot answered and went to call Nameless.
After a while, Nameless entered the room.
Nameless respectfully saluted Su Wan; "See the Nine Emperor Princesses."
"Nameless, what has the Nine Emperor Princes been doing these days, looking at him as if he is very tired."
"In the past few days, the four princes have pulled the nine princes to practice riding and archery, and in half a month it will be the day of the royal hunt."
How she didn't remember that there was such an event last year.
Su Wan wondered; "Royal hunting, it seems that there was no such activity last year."
"The royal hunt is not held every year, it is held every three years."
Su Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes lit up.
A royal hunt is sure to be fun.
Su Wan asked; "Can I participate in this royal hunt?"
"Of course the princess can participate, this royal hunt is held once every three years, and the princes and ladies of the palaces, the princes, and even the concubines in the palace can participate."
Su Wan thought that it would be very lively at that time, but ......
She doesn't seem to know how to shoot arrows.
Su Wan's eyes purred in circles.
Su Wan asked Xing'er to make a table of Chu Mohan's favorite dishes, and when Chu Mohan woke up, the meal was just on the table.
Seeing the delicacies on the table, Chu Mohan's eyes lit up, and he strode to the table and sat down.
He picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the braised pork closest to him, when the back of his hand was suddenly hit by Su Wan.
Su Wan's strength was not great.
Chu Mohan raised his head and looked at her blankly; "Wan'er, why did you hit me?"
Su Wan said with a grin; "You have to promise me one thing before you can eat."
Looking at the table of delicacies, Chu Mohan had no resistance at all.
"As long as you give me food, no matter what, I will agree."
The corners of Su Wan's mouth rose, and she knew that Chu Mohan couldn't resist the temptation of food at all.
"I also want to practice riding and archery with you and the Four Princes."
Chu Mohan nodded, reached out and took a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth; "Of course you can, I thought it would be anything, as long as it wasn't for me to eat, I would agree to anything."
Chu Mohan is like a child, as long as he gives him what he wants, he will agree to anything.
On the second day, when Su Wan appeared at the shooting range, Chu Mojing was stunned.
Afraid that Chu Mojing would be angry, Su Wan hurriedly said; "Fourth Prince, I asked the Nine Emperors to bring me here, and I also want to participate in the royal hunt, but I have never shot an arrow."
Chu Mojing didn't speak, just glanced at her lightly.
Su Wan thought that Chu Mojing was angry, and said busily; "If I disturb you, then I'll go back first."
Su Wan turned around and was about to walk outside the shooting range.
Chu Mojing's voice came from behind him; "I didn't say you would disturb us."
Hearing this, Su Wan turned around and smiled; "Does that mean I can stay?"
Chu Mojing nodded.
"Prepare bows and arrows for the Nine Emperor Princesses." Chu Mojing rushed to the entourage beside him.
Su Wan smiled awkwardly; "I ...... I've never touched a bow and arrow, I don't know how to shoot an arrow at all. ”
"In that case, I'll let Eleven teach you."
Chu Mojing looked at Eleven; "Eleven, you teach the Nine Emperor Princesses archery."
"Yes."
Eleven walked up to Su Wan; "The Nine Emperor Princesses will be taught archery by their subordinates."
Su Wan nodded and wondered; "The Nine Emperors' arrows are very accurate, why do you have to practice?"
At the flower-viewing banquet held by Concubine Li Guifei that time, Chu Mohan won the first place in the archery competition, and even Chu Moxuan lost to him.
"The Nine Emperors don't know, the Nine Emperors shoot this fixed target, it is estimated that few people can win, but it is difficult for the Nine Emperors to shoot this moving target."
Eleven took a bow and arrow and said to Su Wan; "The subordinates will give a demonstration to the Nine Emperor Princesses first."
One arrow hits the heart.
Su Wan picked up the bow and arrow, and as soon as the arrow was shot, it fell to the ground.
Sure enough, it wasn't as easy as she seemed.
Eleven first patiently taught her how to stand and draw a bow.
Su Wan learned seriously.
At this time, Chu Mojing and Chu Mohan changed their riding clothes, and the two of them rode on their horses respectively.
Chu Mojing was dressed in a black riding costume and rode on a black high-headed horse.
Chu Mohan was dressed in a white riding suit and rode on a white high-headed horse.
When Su Wan saw this scene, the whole person was stupid.
Both of them were very handsome, one white and one black walked towards her, and in a trance, Su Wan felt as if the two of them were beautiful men who came out of the comics.
But in the next second, Chu Mohan broke all this beauty.
He waved at Su Wan and smirked; "Wan'er, do you think I'm so good-looking?"
Su Wan came back to her senses, why did she forget that Chu Mohan had a good skin.
Su Wan put down the bow and arrow in her hand, walked towards the two, and said with a smile; "The Nine Emperors really look good in this."
Chu Mohan almost jumped up happily like a child who had been praised.
Chu Mojing glanced at Su Wan lightly, holding a bow and arrow, Chu Mojing shook the braid in his hand, and Chu Mohan also followed Chu Mojing.
There were two figures on the shooting range, one white and one black, Su Wan looked at the two of them, just like Eleven said, Chu Mohan shot a fixed target with 100 shots, and when he rode on a horse, he couldn't hit the bull's-eye.
After watching it for a while, Su Wan began to practice again.
At the end of the day, Su Wan felt that her arm was no longer her arm.
"Nine Emperor Princesses, let's practice here today, otherwise we won't be able to lift our arms the next day."
Su Wan nodded and looked at the two who were still practicing.
Chu Mohan was already sweating profusely, but Chu Mojing was no different from usual.
And so it went on until dusk.
Su Wan took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Chu Mohan's forehead.
Chu Mojing on the side looked at Su Wan's series of actions.
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Su Wan turned her head, she thought that Chu Mojing would look at the handkerchief she was holding again.
She smiled at Chu Mojing; "This handkerchief was given to me by Yunxi, and I remember that she seemed to have given the four princes a similar handkerchief."
Chu Mojing retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and just said "um".
At the end of today's practice, Chu Mohan and Su Wan got into the carriage back to the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, perhaps because they were too tired, Chu Mohan actually fell asleep on Su Wan's legs.
Su Wan looked down at Chu Mohan's sleeping side face, and reached out to strand the broken hair on his forehead behind his ears.
The carriage drove slowly, and there was no bump in the carriage at all.
Su Wan didn't dare to move, she was afraid that if she moved, she would wake up Chu Mohan.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, and before Su Wan could wake up Chu Mohan, Chu Mohan woke up.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes; "Arriving home?"
Su Wan nodded with a smile.
Chu Mohan got up and walked out of the carriage.
When Su Wan was about to get up, she found that her legs were numb and she couldn't stand up.
Suddenly, a black shadow pressed down, and before Su Wan could react, her feet rose into the air.
Chu Mohan got out of the carriage with her in his arms.
Su Wan stared at him with wide eyes.
Chu Mohan lowered his head and grinned at her.
"Wan'er, is your leg numb, I'll carry you back to the house."
She didn't know how Chu Mohan could see that her legs were numb, and at this moment she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Along the way, Chu Mohan walked in the direction of the courtyard with Su Wan in his arms.
Su Wan wrapped her hands around Chu Mohan's neck, her head pressed against his chest.
When Xing'er saw it, Chu Mohan carried Su Wan into the courtyard, entered the room, and immediately closed the door of the room, and ordered no one else in the courtyard to disturb the prince and the princess.
Entering the room, Chu Mohan gently put Su Wan on the soft collapse.
Chu Mohan yawned; "Wan'er, I'm so sleepy, go to bed first, and call me when you have dinner."
When the words fell, Chu Mohan walked to the inner room.
Su Wan sat on the soft collapse in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
The moment Chu Mohan carried her into the room, she actually had some expectations in her heart, and when she heard Chu Mohan's words, the expectation in her heart disappeared completely.
The corners of Su Wan's mouth hooked up a self-deprecating smile, what was she expecting just now?
On the day of the banquet held by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xing'er took the prepared gift to Su Wan; "This is a good gift prepared by the slave maid for the second lady, please take a look at the princess."
Inside the box is a pair of coral bracelets.
Su Wan picked up one of the coral bracelets; "This coral bracelet is very rare, and it is also worthy of the second sister, the future third princess."
shouted, Chu Mohan, and the carriage slowly drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
