Chapter 368: Comparing Arrows
In the harem, the princes and princesses landed one after another, and there were many sacrificial festivals in winter.
Shen Qin hadn't seen Brother Sheng for a few days, and today she entered the palace for a banquet, her eyes were only looking for the child, if it wasn't for Yan's tugging on her, she would have almost messed up the rules.
Seeing Brother Sheng from a distance, Shen Qin almost couldn't hold back her tears, singing and dancing, staggered, so many pairs of eyes, she only dared to smile implicitly and nodded at the child.
Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the mother and son were both calm, and when they saw Zheng Lingyi raising a glass to him, he also picked up the wine cup and took a sip in response to it.
Brother Yuan whispered to her: "Mother, I'll go and play with Brother Wu, okay?" ”
"He also has to sit obediently on the seat, you go but sit in another place." Yan felt that it was unnecessary, but Brother Yuan hugged her arm and was coquettish, and Yan also took pity on his childish nature, so he said: "Be well-behaved, this is in the palace in the end, not as good as at home." ”
Brother Yuan nodded, and went all the way from behind the pillar to Zheng Lingyi's case, Zheng Lingyi moved his position, and he sat on the small table with Jiang Sheng, and whispered with a smile.
Over the years, Zheng Lingyi has entered the palace a lot of times, but he rarely brings sauce sheng, except for a few familiar people who have seen this child, the rest of the people only know that Lord Wu's family has a son and daughter, but what it looks like is not clear.
When I saw this little man today, I had to ask a few questions.
Jiang Sheng answered as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't like others, he asked his mother to introduce him on his behalf, or to say a word, look at his mother, as if he was afraid that he would say something wrong.
Today is actually a children's feast, after three rounds of singing and dancing, when the children couldn't sit still, the queen arranged for them to go outside to play in the garden, prepared some games of throwing pots and archery, and the little eunuch set up a stall to play a puppet show for the children.
Jiang Sheng led Brother Yuan out, and Brother Sheng and Brother Jue followed the eldest prince and the second prince to go out.
The puppet show in the hands of the eunuch is not as fun as on the street at all, Brother Yuan can watch it with relish, but it can't attract sauce sheng, this puppet show he was taken by his uncle and father to watch it many times when he was a child, and this play in the palace is not as interesting as the outside.
Jiang Sheng looked patiently for a while, and suddenly a butterfly fell in front of him, with blue wings and yellow spots, which was both fresh and abrupt.
There are butterflies for children to play in the winter, and only the palace spends this amount of money.
No matter how long the butterfly has been raised with charcoal, now it is frozen when it is released, and the wings are not fast, so that the children can catch one accurately.
Facing the butterfly that suddenly appeared, Jiang Sheng only stretched out his hand slightly, wanting it to land in the palm of his hand, but in an instant, this butterfly like a dream bubble was grabbed by a girl he didn't know.
Jiang Sheng had never seen anyone catch butterflies like this, so he subconsciously said, "Light!" The girl gave birth to a pair of hanging eyebrows, her eyes were big, but a little white, and she looked particularly obedient when she stared at people, she glanced at the sauce and said, "Caterpillar!" You have to take care of it! ”
Jiang Sheng didn't understand why she said that she was a caterpillar, but she raised her eyebrows, and proudly ripped off the butterfly's wings, pinching two thin blue wings and shaking it at Jiang Sheng, she probably thought that Jiang Sheng wanted this butterfly, so she deliberately showed off.
Jiang Sheng somewhat understood the meaning of the caterpillar, touched his two thick eyebrows, and rubbed the back of his neck, feeling that this girl was really savage.
"This is the fifth princess, stay away from her." Brother Sheng came over at some point and said to Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng laughed when he heard his voice, what are the five princesses and six princesses, what does it have to do with him? only pounced on a bear hug and knocked Brother Sheng back two or three steps before he stood still.
Brother Sheng also laughed, and before the smile was fully unfolded, he saw the fifth princess coming over to Jiang Sheng again, Sheng Ge'er's smile stiffened, and saw that the fifth princess pushed Jiang Sheng on the shoulder, and said unceremoniously: "Do you know how to shoot arrows?" ”
She wasn't heavy this time, Jiang Sheng stood still and didn't move, but his body shook, he looked down at his boots, on which was a small snakeskin bow embroidered for him by Aunt Lu Nong, which was his favorite one in his life.
"Lile Archery Imperial Calligraphy, who here doesn't know?" Jiang Sheng didn't know what the fifth princess wanted to do, so he subconsciously said cautiously.
The fifth princess seemed to be more interested in Jiang Sheng's rhetorical question, she hooked the corners of her mouth, and said, "Then you help me play a few games and win the golden jade fritillary crown." ”
Jiang Sheng looked in the direction of her finger, and the flower crown on the incense table was indeed exquisitely conceived and complicatedly made, and the circles were all small flower bones the size of a small thumbnail carved with colorful jewelry, but in the end, it was not to the point of priceless for the children.
"If you win, you will take it home to my sister, why should I win for you?" Jiang Sheng also took a fancy to this corolla and wanted to give it to Yun Tuan'er.
I don't know who 'tsk' twice behind Jiang Sheng, it's really a big deal to watch the excitement.
Brother Sheng heard it, it was the fourth prince.
The fourth prince and the fifth princess are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the biological mother is Concubine Yu, who has been a concubine for many years, and she is not very favored, but she is lucky, she gave birth to this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses that year, and even the queen can't catch up with her scenery.
"Don't you know what to do, I want you to shoot arrows for Princess Ben, but you still refuse?" The five princesses' two hanging eyebrows are twisted together, and the eyebrows are even more prominent.
"How can there be any reason to force people?" A handsome young man with a calm expression spoke, he had a pair of exactly the same appearance as the queen, and there was no doubt that he was the eldest prince.
The eldest prince opened his mouth, and Brother Sheng was relieved. It's just that the laughter of the fourth prince is posted behind the words of the eldest prince, which always makes Brother Sheng feel unhappy.
"In this case, the eldest brother will play a few games for the fifth sister, and this, this one."
"You said you had a friend who was good at archery, but was he?" The eldest prince glanced at Jiang Sheng, and turned his head to Brother Sheng. 258
Brother Sheng regretted it, but he could only nod.
The second prince and Brother Sheng and Brother Jue are not good at archery, and it is rare to have an opponent, and the eldest prince is rarely interested, and said to Jiang Sheng: "Then please." It's just a game. ”
Fortunately, it was the eldest prince who was on the opposite side, and he was the least arrogant and impatient among these princes, but no matter how he said it, the prince was also a prince, Sheng Ge'er desperately winked at Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng only had time to glance at him before he was led away by the internal supervisor.
Brother Sheng was anxious, and he was suddenly taken aback by someone on his shoulder.
Twisting his face and seeing that it was the fourth prince, he smiled at himself with bad intentions and said, "Follow the fart, sycophant!" ”
Brother Sheng would not have been angry with him for these crude tricks for a long time, although he had been confused for a while, but now he has corrected his mentality, and the relationship with the eldest prince is not blindly flattering and flattering.
Therefore, Brother Sheng just arched his hand at the four princes and walked towards the archery.
Because it is just a place for children to play, so the arrow target is only ten zhang away, after the humility, the prince shoots three arrows first, three arrows are targeted, two arrows in the red heart, one arrow rubs the edge.
The eldest prince frowned slightly, not very satisfied, but he also didn't think he would lose.
In the midst of the applause for the eldest prince, the 'whoosh' sauce sheng pulled out his bow with a relaxed face, and several arrows were fired in succession, with almost no hesitation and pause.
As soon as he finished shooting, the cheers became scattered, and some of them were slow and half-beats, and they floated in the air in embarrassment.
The three arrows all hit the bull's-eye, impartially, and the first two arrows were split in half.
"It's amazing." The second prince and Jue Ge'er said in unison, and Sheng Ge'er resisted the urge to cover his face.
The fourth prince said a few words in a weird way, and the eldest prince didn't seem to hear it, but just stared at Jiang Sheng silently for a while, and said, "Your hands are really steady, how did you do it." ”
Jiang Sheng turned his wrist and said lightly: "Don't think about it so much." ”
When he shoots an arrow, he is the most relaxed, and people seem to fly out like arrows.
The eldest prince lowered his eyes and thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I can't understand what you said for a while." ”
"It's like, when you shoot an arrow, think about winning, but don't think about winning." Jiang Sheng touched his chin and said again.
The two of you said one sentence to me, as if they were participating in Zen and discussing the Tao, and they hung all the eyes around them aside.
The eldest prince thought for a while, his shoulders suddenly loosened, and then he raised his arm and shot an arrow with a 'whoosh'.
This arrow seems to be careless, but it is stable in the heart.
The corners of the eldest prince's mouth were raised, and he smiled very rarely, which made Brother Sheng feel rare.
The eldest prince stretched out his hand and made a move, and the little inner supervisor took the flower crown, and his palm moved like a swimming fish, and the flower crown was presented in front of Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng unceremoniously picked up the brocade and mentioned it, wrapped the flower crown, carefully hugged it in his arms, and arched his hand: "Thank you, eldest prince." ”
The eldest prince nodded slightly and said, "It's time for me to thank you." ”
Jiang Sheng subconsciously felt that it was difficult to accept this, and glanced at Brother Sheng, who smiled at him, and finally relieved himself.
This scene was all in the eyes of the three men on the high pavilion not far away.
Shen Ze laughed, turned around and patted Wu Zhi's shoulder, and said, "Your son is much more interesting than you, so you want to be rewarded." ”
"Clumsy Jing is too pampered on weekdays, and he doesn't teach much, so he is rude in front of the princes." Wu Zhi said in a sincere and fearful tone.
Shen Ze's mood seemed to be really good, leaving Shen Gui and Wu Zhi standing in place and sweating.
"Today, I'm glad that my son is a mediocre." Shen Gui also patted Wu Zhi's arm and said, "But I see, the emperor didn't take it to heart, after all, he was just a child." ”
said that it was a child's game, but when Shen Ze's reward was brought to Jiang Sheng in front of everyone, the matter spread.
Back home, Zheng Lingyi asked Wu Zhi with puzzlement, "What does the emperor think, his son lost, and he still wants everyone to know if he can't?" Is it to preach the generosity of the heavenly family? ”
"The eldest prince is already so stable and old at a young age, and many important ministers in the court praise him. He is the eldest son of the middle palace, backed by the Zhao family, and at the moment, it seems that he is the only one who is the prince, but the emperor is the age of the dragon and the tiger......
Wu Zhi didn't say any more, and Zheng Lingyi didn't ask anymore.
