Chapter 236: Mounted Archery Competition (Part II)
Suddenly, the figure next to Nan Ruochen moved, her eyes moved, and she saw the dust again! Liuchen, who was dressed as a man, smiled mischievously at Lu Nuoxin, and Lu Nuoxin didn't know that Liuchen would also have such an expression, as if he was dissatisfied that Lu Nuoxin only saw Nan Ruochen.
Lu Nuoxin grinned suddenly, it had been a long time since he had been so surprised, and he had not laughed so sincerely for a long time! Looking at Nan Ruochen's performance, his injuries should all be healed, and Liuchen, isn't she only good at swordsmanship? How can you use a bow and arrow with ease today? Don't lose half a point between men, what a match for two people!
According to his words, the emperor named Nan Ruochen as the head of the guard on the spot, and Liuchen and another person were rewarded with fifty taels of gold, and the two were also named deputy chiefs.
Chief of the Guard, Deputy Chief...... She didn't have time to rejoice for a while, her heart sank to the bottom of the sea, Nan Ruochen and Liuchen, equally outstanding, the same unrestrained, should have talked about the world, patted the horse and chased the wind, danced the sword in the rain, happy rivers and lakes, and knew friends all over the world. How can you wear such a ridiculous red dress and be a guard in the palace?
Even if she is the head of the guard, she is also a guard, she knows that Nan Ruochen did all this because of her, and Liuchen was to follow in Nan Ruochen's footsteps.
She suddenly wanted to laugh, laughed with tears, laughed helplessly, in the farce of love, we are all blindly chasing, chasing.
Nan Ruochen, you are a fool, you would rather guard an impossible person, give up your free life, give up your happy life, and don't know how to look back at the woman who followed you all the way.
How could she not be like this, praying for the most unlikely person in the world, praying for the affection of a couple for a lifetime, but she didn't know how much of that person's sincerity was true and how much was false.
She suppressed the urge to rush off the stage to see them, she just wanted to wait for the game to end and ask them about their situation during this time, but she knew that the emperor didn't just want to hold such a game today, or it was as simple as showing Nan Ruochen and Liuchen to her.
Sure enough, the emperor looked at the three people in the audience with an unfathomable smile, and glanced back at Lu Nuoxin carelessly.
"The three Aiqing are good at swordsmanship, how about I try it with you?" Hearing this, she withdrew her gaze at Nan Ruochen and Liuchen, only to find that at the moment when she lost her mind, the emperor had changed his clothes, this young man in white clothes in Acacia Garden, now under the precipitation of the years, he is more heavy and stable, under a suit of armor, he has the domineering spirit of being arrogant and undoubted, and he also has the undoubted majesty of the emperor.
She looked at him from afar, so brilliant, and in the midst of everyone, she was also the most eye-catching. He has a natural domineering and royal spirit, which is recognizable at a glance.
She stood from a distance and watched, he was on his horse, skillfully loading the arrow, pulling it full, aiming at the bullseye as he rode. Time seems to have stopped somewhat, and everyone wants to see the emperor's good archery.
He put three arrows on the bow, pulled the bow flat, and with force in his hand, and then let go, the arrow was sent out, and the arrow went sharply towards the bull's-eye with the sound of white feathers piercing the wind. Three arrows, each on the three targets hit the heart, and everyone cheered.
The emperor smiled disapprerovingly: "This trick is not fun, three, how about I play a game with you?" During the competition, you were rivals, but now I want you to cooperate to play a game, how about I choose two people and I am in a group, and you are in a team of three, divided into two groups to play? ”
The top three winners are naturally not disputed.
She listened to the emperor's rules of the game, and secretly sighed in her heart for his king's intelligence and consideration, the three of them have been in the state of opponents in the game, if such a state is brought into the position, they will definitely not be able to command the palace guards. The emperor asked them to be a group, implying that the three of them were one when they were out of the arena, and only by holding together could they manage the guards under them.
For the other two people chosen by the emperor, the first one is naturally Si Ming, as for the second person, many people flashed in their hearts, but they didn't know what the holy will was.
At this time, a little eunuch quietly walked up to her, holding the emperor's token, and she walked into the backstage with him without asking too much, where there were already many palace maids waiting here, and the palace maid was holding a military uniform in her hand, and the size and size were exactly the same as her figure.
"This ......" she looked at in surprise, but she didn't expect that the third person the emperor said would be her! She woke up like a dream, the emperor's move was not to compete with Nan Ruochen, but to show her archery skills in front of everyone, and break all kinds of mysteries about the night of Qingchan Temple for her!
Therefore, in this game, she can only win, not lose! But she has not touched a bow and arrow for a long time, and her skills are rusty, not to mention, the three opponents are sharpshooters who stand out from tens of thousands of people, even if the opponents are Nan Ruochen and Liuchen, in full view of everyone, there is no possibility of cheating, Nan Ruochen and Liuchen want her to win, it is impossible, only go all out.
But how could she prevail? Neither she nor the emperor can afford to lose this game!
Wearing that heavy armor, her heart is as heavy as this armor, but in order to clear up those rumors, in order to establish majesty in the harem, and in order to be fully prepared for the revenge plan, she can only face the difficulties!
When she disguised herself as a man and rode on a white horse to the shooting range, the brocade guards all wanted to see where this was sacred, but too few of them had seen the concubine Niangniang with their own eyes, so no one recognized it, only seeing that this person was so small, there was a little more ridicule in his eyes, so thin, I am afraid that he could not even lift the bow.
And the concubines in the stands were a little familiar when they saw her like this, and they saw her empty seat with sharp eyes, and muttered quietly, and all the concubines suddenly realized that they all recognized her!
In addition to the surprise, what followed was envy that the emperor had favored her to such an extent! Today, the quasi-harem concubines entered the riding and shooting range to watch the game, but I didn't expect the emperor to let her show up in public, and let her do this thing that only men can do!
However, a brief period of astonishment and envy was replaced by mockery and disdain. If she said that the peacock dance she danced not long ago was eye-opening, but after all, it was dancing, and dancing was a compulsory skill for women in the boudoir.
But riding and archery is only learned by men, how can women!
Hum! No matter how much the emperor favors you, if you lose the game and lose the emperor's face, the emperor will not be able to spare you! Thinking of this, the jealous concubines balanced their hearts a little more, and looked at her delicately and weakly on the field, like a willow supporting the wind.
