Chapter 49: The Abyss of Heaven
I looked at the cloak and nodded at the palace maid, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened, but I was thinking in my heart how to make His Highness break that thought.
He was kind to me, and I could clearly perceive that if this continued, the "misunderstanding" would only get bigger and bigger.
After dinner, I went to the bedchamber of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness was wearing a light blue robe, and was sitting at the wooden table in the dormitory, looking at the soup medicine on the table with gloomy eyes.
Father-in-law Sun stood on the side, watching His Highness take medicine.
"Your Highness?" I stepped into the dormitory and screamed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately raised his head and looked at me, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness, this decoction will be cold after a while, so you should drink it while it's hot." Sun Gong openly urged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness lowered his eyes, looked at the still steaming soup bowl, reached out to pick it up, and drank it all.
After drinking, the expression on his face became a little distorted.
Grandpa Sun glanced at the bowl, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
I saw him pointing to the soup bowl with less than half a mouthful of decoction left, and persuaded His Highness to drink it cleanly.
His Royal Highness lowered his eyes and glanced at Grandpa Sun, who immediately lowered his head, but in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank the decoction and put the porcelain bowl on the table.
Only then did Gonggong Sun wave his hand and motioned to the palace maid to bring down the soup bowl.
His Highness stood up, took me by the hand, and was about to take me to the backyard.
Grandpa Sun hurriedly put on a thick cloak for His Royal Highness, and also followed behind us and set off together.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked very fast, as if he was deliberately trying to distance himself from Grandpa Sun, but Grandpa Sun was chasing after him so closely that he almost overtook us several times.
"Your Highness, slow down, don't fall." Sun Gong spoke openly and persuaded.
"Your Highness, you are not a three-year-old child, how can you fall easily?" After he finished speaking, he looked at me: "Today, how about I shoot a "happy bag" for you?" ”
"Hi bag?" I don't know what this wedding bag is.
"The wedding bag was originally a red sachet bag hung on the branches of trees in winter, with various messages written on it, hoping that everything will go smoothly in the coming year." Aunt Xin, who was walking behind me, explained.
"Oh, I see." I nodded.
Aunt Xin said: "Our Royal Highness, who is the best at archery, will definitely shoot on the high branch for the girl, the best happy bag." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lowered his eyes, looked at me, and said with a smile that he would do his best.
I could only smile back with an awkward smile and immediately look away from him.
When we arrived in front of Merlin in the backyard, several eunuchs came with bows and arrows and quivers.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the bow and arrow, the look in his eyes immediately changed.
I looked up, and now it was half dark, but fortunately there were lanterns hanging in the courtyard, so I could clearly see that there were indeed dozens of red sachet bags hanging on the plum tree, and only the one on the highest branch was embroidered with gold thread.
It's just that these sachet bags are only half a palm big, and the plum trees in this backyard grow much taller than those outside the palace.
"Xiyan, you step back to the side." His Highness said to me softly.
I hurriedly took a few steps back to the side, and then looked at His Highness, who drew the long arrow from his quiver, wound it, drew his bow and aimed it at the highest pouch, and was about to shoot it down.
And just then, I felt a chill lingering around me.
So, he immediately turned his head and glanced around, thinking that the Stygian North Lin must be nearby.
But behind me are all palace maids and eunuchs, and the only few guards are close to me, not Ming Beilin.
Isn't it my delusion? I turned my head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.
Hearing only a "whoosh", the long arrow left the string and flew towards the high happy bag.
Looking at the height and the speed of the arrow, I can conclude that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to shoot this arrow.
But when the arrow was about to hit the happy bag, a cold wind howled, and the arrow immediately deflected to one side, missing the happy bag.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stunned, and a look of loss immediately appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, this is the cold wind, not Your Highness's mistake." After I finished speaking, I personally drew a long arrow from the quiver, held it in both hands and handed it to him.
He looked at me, raised his hand to take the arrow, and then said very firmly: "This time, I will definitely shoot the wedding bag and give it to you." ”
"Hmm." I answered and took two steps back.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once again set up the arrow, and the moment he let go of the arrow, the force was obviously much greater than before, so that even if it was windy, he would not shoot crookedly.
But as a result, the cold wind rose again, and once again blew the arrow crooked, and the long arrow hit the red wedding bag underneath.
His Royal Highness was disappointed, and looked down at the bow in his hand, his expression a little solemn.
"Eh, it seems that this demon wind is going on today, and it's hard to shoot." Sun Gong openly comforted the prince: "Your Highness, it's cold this night, otherwise, it's noon tomorrow, and come again?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was speechless, and the expression on his face was gloomy and compassionate.
I immediately walked towards the plum tree, and leaned down to pick up the pouch he had shot.
"Thank you, Your Highness." I leaned over him with the bag and thanked him respectfully.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head: "I want to give you the best." ”
"The status of the people's daughter is low, she is not worthy of the top happy bag, and she does not have that blessing, and if she can get this, it is already a blessing for the people's daughter." After I finished speaking, I walked towards him with a wedding bag.
He looked at me with a solemn face: "In my opinion, the best talent is worthy of you." ”
"That's His Royal Highness's promotion, in fact, there is a world of difference between His Highness and the people's daughters, and a grass folk can't match the golden silk bag no matter what." As I looked at him, I think His Highness could understand the true meaning of my words.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at me with mixed feelings in his eyes.
"No matter how high you are, the happy bag is just a happy bag, there is nothing unworthy, or in other words, His Royal Highness says that he is worthy, and he is worthy!" After he finished speaking, he drew another arrow from the quiver, and then shot another arrow without hesitation.
This time, although the cold wind hit again, the arrow body was extremely stable, and it directly hit the happy bag embroidered with gold silk edges.
However, because the force was too great, the arrow directly shot the Xi bag to pieces.
"Your Highness, it's too reluctant, that's it, I'm afraid it will end up in tatters." I looked at the bag and said to him softly.
He stared at his eyebrows, put his bow on the hand of the little eunuch on the side, and did not say a word for a long time.
