Chapter 162: Practice archery
Shen Xixi rarely got up early in the morning.
There was a tinkling outside.
Xiang'er heard Shen Xixi's awakening, and hurriedly entered the house to explain.
"Princess, the people in the house are placing things for archery in the backyard."
"Because everything is temporary, it has to be fixed one by one."
Shen Xixi fell on the bed and stood up, "Then it won't start so early, right?" ”
Xiang'er snickered and helped her up.
"It's okay, it's past breakfast time."
"It's the princess, you have to sleep until three o'clock in the morning every day, so you feel that it is still early."
Shen Xixi coughed lightly and rubbed his sore temples, "That's it, let's wash up, and by the way, let's go see what the backyard has become." ”
"Okay."
After cleaning up, Shen Xixi changed into a gray purple bamboo knitted needle skirt, draped a snow white cloud shoulder, and an ordinary white hosta was inserted in his bun.
Xiang'er was looking at Shen Xixi in the bronze mirror, and when she felt very beautiful and moving, she saw her yawn, which instantly destroyed this beauty.
Xiang'er pursed her lips suddenly, with a bit of coquettishness.
"Mother, can't you cover your lips with a handkerchief? If you let the prince see it, you will definitely be disgusted. ”
As he spoke, Shen Xixi yawned a second time.
"Then I don't think so."
After speaking, Shen Xixi walked out.
As soon as the door opened, a cool breeze hit in an instant, freezing Shen Xixi's neck.
Xiang'er said nervously: "If the mother is still cold, the slave will go and get you a cloak again." ”
"Now wear a cape, what do you wear in winter?" Shen Xixi shook his head, "That's it." ”
The two of them walked towards the backyard one after the other, and occasionally the people who passed by saluted.
After arriving in the backyard, Shen Xixi was slightly shocked by the scene in front of him.
The original few trees and rare flowers and plants planted there were simply removed, and a large open space was vacated, from far to near to many targets, and on the far left were placed a dozen bows and arrows made of various materials.
Shen Xixi walked over and touched it gently, his eyes lit up.
"Oh my God, this is pure gold? It's worth a lot. ”
Xiang'er whispered: "Niangniang, let's not touch it, be careful of hurting you." ”
"How can this thing hurt?" Shen Xixi said, and directly picked up a bow.
Just as I was about to try it, I heard the sound of a four-wheeled vehicle.
Xiang'er hurriedly snatched the bow from Shen Xixi's hand, put it back in place, and pulled her to stand.
Soon, I saw Yue Su pushing Mo Huai to walk here, followed by Hongmei.
When the servants saw that the prince had arrived, they hurriedly retreated.
Mo Huaijin said lightly: "You all go down, there is no need for so many people around this king, just stay with Hongmei." ”
Shen Xixi immediately said: "I also want to stay, I have to supervise you, right?" ”
Mo Huaijin nodded, "Okay." ”
So, the three of them were the only ones left.
Hongmei was particularly eye-catching, and without waiting for Mo Huaijin to speak, she automatically and consciously ran over and took the bow and arrow, and handed it to Mo Huaijin.
Mo Huaijin seemed to be very unaccustomed to it, he tossed upside down, and he couldn't raise his hand for a long time.
Hongmei acts as a bosom sister and comforts him carefully.
"Lord Wang, Hongmei believes that you will definitely be able to."
Mo Huaijin took a deep breath, took out his bow and arrows, and shot them one by one.
The action is quite handsome.
However, the moment the arrow flew out, it flew straight away, without even touching the edge of the target.
"Poof!" Shen Xixi couldn't help laughing.
It's not that Xiao Mo Huai didn't shoot, but that he pretended to be quite similar.
Hongmei glared at her unhappily, looking at Mo Huaijin's gloomy face.
"Lord Wang, it's okay, who can shoot it the first time?"
"Let's practice more, and we will definitely be able to."
"Lord Wang, you are very talented, how can you be controlled by this little difficulty?"
As if with Hongmei's encouragement, Mo Huaijin picked up the bow and arrow again after hesitating for a long time.
This time, it flew out by grazing the edge of the target.
Hongmei applauded again and again, "Lord Wang, your progress is really too great!" ”
So, with Hongmei's perseverance and encouragement, Mo Huaijin's eighteenth arrow finally hit, although it was only the outermost link.
Hongmei almost jumped up with joy, her face full of excitement.
"Lord Wang! You're amazing! ”
Shen Xixi simply sat on the stone bench not far away, watching Hongmei's performance as if watching a play.
is worthy of being born in Bang Jun Pavilion, and there is indeed a set of coaxing men.
The corners of Mo Huaijin's lips were slightly hooked, as if he was in a good mood.
So, in the following time, Mo Huaijin mechanically repeated the action of holding the arrow, drawing the bow, and shooting.
Hongmei is like a repeater who will never get tired on the side, and there are a few words of encouragement back and forth.
As a result, Mo Huaijin became more and more courageous, and gradually he was able to shoot every arrow without being empty.
"Lord Wang, Hongmei believes that you will definitely achieve a good result in the hunting competition!"
Shen Xixi said unhurriedly: "You have to have a degree of encouragement, aren't you blindly comforting him?" ”
"Do you really think those prey are fools, standing there motionless and being shot by you with arrows?"
"These targets are dead targets, they can't move, so what's the use of shooting them."
Hongmei's face changed slightly, "Archery is not in a hurry, it has to be done step by step." ”
"What the princess said is indeed reasonable, and I will supervise the prince to practice diligently in two days."
Shen Xixi's hand held his chin, and his index finger tapped his face lightly.
"Two days? After two days, the hunting tournament has begun, what is the use of cramming? ”
"Besides, you don't really want to catch a bunch of prey and put it in the backyard for the prince to run and shoot arrows every day, right?"
Hongmei bit her lower lip lightly, a little tangled.
"That'...... What does the princess mean ......"
Shen Xixi said: "I think it's too difficult to catch prey now. ”
"And how much can we put in such a big place in our palace?"
"When the time comes, the chickens and dogs will jump, and it will not be beautiful."
"If you want me to say, it's better to let people run here with a target, and then let the prince shoot."
"If you can shoot like this, it will be considered the prince's ability."
Hongmei nodded, "What the princess said is reasonable, so ...... Then Hongmei will go and call the next person. ”
After only two steps, Shen Xixi said angrily: "Is there water in your head?" ”
"Calling the subordinates over, do you want the subordinates to see that the prince's archery skills are not high?"
"When the time comes, they will spread ten or ten hundreds, and how will the prince stay in the mansion?"
Hongmei's heart pulled up a vigilance, and she hesitated: "That...... What does the princess mean ......"
Shen Xixi looked at her with a smile, "Why don't you run with the target." ”
