After returning to Shengjing, Yanhe lived in the palace with Concubine Xude at first, and everything was fine, but later he cleaned the prince's mansion, and the middle grandson Yanhe lived out with Yihuan.

Although the middle grandson Yanhe returned to Shengjing and became the adopted son of Concubine Xude, after all, he was not crowned a prince and could not enter the palace from time to time, and he could only go to the palace to visit Concubine Xude on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month.

In a blink of an eye, it was November 15, the weather turned cold, and when Zhongsun Yanhe first arrived in the palace of Concubine Xude, he saw that Concubine Xude was about to pack up and go out, so he asked: "The weather is cold, I don't know where the concubine is going?" ”

"The queen mother invited the concubine to her palace for a banquet, you came just in time, I heard that the eldest prince and the second prince will also go this time, and the palace will take you to meet your royal brother." Concubine Yu said with a smile.

“…… Are you going to the mother's harem......" Zhongsun Yeonhyuk asked with some embarrassment.

"yes, what's wrong?" Concubine Yu De asked, but she remembered that the third prince was exiled to Xuling, and this Empress Wu didn't play a good role, so she went to take Zhongsun Yanhe's hand and said, "If you don't dare to face it, how can you fight each other?" You don't have to be afraid, with this palace here, she doesn't dare to do anything to you. ”

Zhongsun Yanhe heard Concubine Xi De say this, but he still looked back at Luo Yihuan, Luo Yihuan nodded firmly at him, and Zhongsun Yanhe had no choice but to follow Concubine Xi De to Queen Wu's palace.

At that time, everyone was in the garden of the queen's palace, the eldest prince Yanbei and the second prince Yanbei were shooting arrows, the eldest prince worked very hard, but he could only shoot at the edge of the target, Queen Wu smiled a little mockingly and said: "Concubine Xian is too pampered to Yanyu, although Yanyu is only a concubine, but no matter how poor it is, he is also the eldest son of the emperor, and he wants to set an example for his younger brothers." ”

When Concubine Zhexian heard this, she hurriedly got up and asked for her guilt: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the weather has been cold recently, and the concubine really can't bear to let Yan Yu practice too much, which makes the queen mother smile." ”

"What's the matter of making this palace laugh, what matters is that if Yan Yan makes the Zhongsun royal family laugh, then you really can't afford it." The queen said mockingly.

"In the full palace, in addition to His Royal Highness the Southern Peerless Prince of the Tibetan Kingdom, there is no match in archery, and the two princes are unparalleled, and they are naturally the example of the princes." Li Xiuyi said.

Hearing this, Empress Wu said to Yanbei very proudly: "Yanbei, show your imperial brother what should be an example for his younger brothers." ”

Zhongsun Yanbei snatched the crossbow arrow from Zhongsun Yan's hand very arrogantly: "This is the Xuantie bow paid tribute by the Bolin Department, I'm afraid it will sink a little, and the imperial brother can't afford it." ”

Zhongsun Yanbei didn't dare to say much, and silently retreated to the side, Zhongsun Yanbei shot a few arrows, all around the bull's-eye, and the queen smiled with satisfaction: "Yanyan, are you optimistic?" In the future, I will learn from your brother Yanbei and learn how to be your brother's example. ”

Zhongsun Yanbei apologized, and then followed Zhongsun Yanbei to the round table, at this time Zhongsun Yanbei saw Zhongsun Yanhe and asked: "Which son is this, this prince has never seen it." ”

At this time, the queen looked at the annoying Concubine Xude, and really saw a boy, thinking that it was the damned third prince Zhongsun Yanhe who was brought back in Xuling, so she asked quite bitterly: "Yo, this child looks really pitiful, where does he look like a prince, no wonder even people like Concubine Xude will pity you." ”

"The queen's mother still speaks as always, and she doesn't have the queen's shelf, which makes the concubine very kind." Concubine Xi De said with a shallow smile.

The queen was very dissatisfied with the choking of Concubine Yude, she thought that Zhongsun Yanhe must not have any riding and archery skills in Xuling for many years, so it was better to be sarcastic in this matter, so she asked: "Yanhe is not young this year, right, today your two imperial brothers have shown their archery skills, why don't you also let the queen mother open her eyes?" ”

Concubine Xi De also felt that Yanhe had no dogma in Xuling for many years, and just wanted to stop it, but who knew that Zhongsun Yanhe himself got up and thanked him and said: "The order of the queen mother, the sons should obey it." ”

I saw Zhongsun Yanhe walk to the place where he was shooting, looked at it for a moment, and the queen mocked: "I think that Yanhe has been in Xueling for all these years, there is no master to teach, if you are really embarrassed, you don't have to force yourself." ”

Zhongsun Yanhe turned around and walked in front of the queen, bowing slightly: "Although the son is far away in Xue Ling, he doesn't dare to neglect his homework, since the queen mother wants to see it, the son is thinking about how to make the queen mother happy." ”

After that, Zhongsun Yanhe said to Concubine Xi De: "Does the mother concubine have any cloth strips or anything like that?" ”

Concubine Xi De smiled slightly, took off the rabbit fur on her forehead to protect her forehead from the cold, and handed it to him.

Zhongsun Yanhe took the rabbit fur and wiped his forehead, and he was blindfolded directly, only to see him walk to the place just now, adjust it a few times, and the arrow was on the bow between the electric light and flint, and the next moment it was firmly shot in the middle of the bull's-eye, but this was not over, he once again took an arrow, this second arrow actually split the previous arrow, and shot to the bull's-eye again, and finally, he took out five arrows and shot them out in unison, which were evenly distributed at the edge of the extreme around the target, and for a while, the concubines in the palace except for the queen with a black face couldn't help but applaud, Even Luo Yihuan was amazing, she never thought that Zhongsun Yanhe's archery skills would be so exquisite, and he really deserved to be the leading actor in major TV series...... It's too powerful......

Zhongsun Yanhe took off his forehead and returned to the table respectfully: "The son will wash his forehead and return it to his mother." ”

"You behave so well, what is a wipe of your forehead, the mother wants to reward you well...... Queen Mother, do you think you are still satisfied with our family Yanhe's performance? Concubine Yu De looked at the queen with a smile and asked.

The queen secretly clenched her fists and said nothing, at this time Emperor Wenzong suddenly walked in, laughed and said: "Yanhe, what other surprises do you have that I don't know, I really feel that God blesses me and makes me suddenly have such an excellent child!" ”

Zhongsun Yanhe hurriedly saluted Emperor Wenzong: "Father Emperor has praised it. ”

"My father has really wronged you all these years, your archery skills are so good, I'm afraid there are only ...... She is the only one, so that I have seen such wonderful archery, hunting in winter is not emotional, you will accompany your father to a small hunting ground in Shengjing today to hunt some prey, and come back at night to make your mother's favorite barbecue, okay? ”

"Thank you father, this is a blessing for the sons."

"Then the emperor and Yanhe will go, Yi Huan will introduce his daughter's house, it will be inconvenient to follow, it is better to follow the palace back to the palace to prepare." Concubine Yu De said.

"Very good, very good! But Yanhe, you are so old, it is very inappropriate to only have your daughter's family to serve you, Xia Changlu's apprentice Xia Chu beside me is not bad, let him follow you! Emperor Wenzong said with a grin.

"Your Majesty ......" The queen finally found a chance to stand up.

But Emperor Wenzong seemed to remember that this was the queen's palace, and he lukewarmly let her rest by himself, so he left with Yanhe.

The emperor gave his own apprentice to Yanhe, and for a while, Yanhe, the middle grandson who appeared overnight, suddenly grew to the point that no one expected, Queen Wu gritted her teeth and said to herself fiercely in her heart:

"Zhongsun Yanhe, I only hate that I was not ruthless enough eighteen years ago, and I actually let you survive, and today I come to oppose me again!"
