Chapter 9: Grace (2)
In the evening, the palace is for the third prince Zhongsun Yanhe to hold the prince's first birthday banquet lively, since Zhongsun Yanhe returned to Shengjing, suddenly from obscurity to become the adopted son of Concubine Xude, not only with His Majesty out of the winter hunting, in the palace of Concubine Xude, but also served by the father-in-law of Xia Chu, very much more than the momentum of the second prince Zhongsun Yanbei, so this time the birthday banquet can be said to be lively, very grand, and catch up with the New Year, it is even more lively.
"Yanhe, I have neglected you for many years, as your father, I feel very guilty in my heart, today is your birthday, what do you want, as long as your father can give it, my father can fulfill you." Emperor Wenzong said to Zhongsun Yanhe.
Zhongsun Yanhe hurriedly got up and thanked him, for him, the most wanted reward is, of course, to marry Luo Yihuan as his wife, at this time Zhongsun Yanhe just wanted to open his mouth, but Queen Wu interjected: "The emperor is really good to Yanhe, but since Yanhe returned to Shengjing, the emperor inside and outside has given Yanhe a lot of rewards, although today is Yanhe's birthday banquet, but the concubines feel that they can't give another reward so casually." ”
"Then what does the queen think she should do......" Although Emperor Wenzong was very displeased with Empress Wu's sour tone, and did not look at Empress Wu, she was the queen after all, and she couldn't openly refute her face.
"The concubine saw Yanhe's archery skills a few days ago, and it was really a must, but does the emperor know that there is another person in the palace, and the archery skills are probably comparable to Yanhe, if Yanhe can win this person, then naturally any reward is good." Empress Wu said.
"Oh? Who is the archery that can match Yeonhyuk? ”
"Naturally, he is the son of the Tibetan country, and he is in the south." Empress Wu said with a smile.
Nan Jue was sitting next to him and was suddenly shouted, he wanted to shirk in his heart, as a foreign proton, he should keep to himself, but he knew that the person he wanted to compare with himself turned out to be the third prince Yanhe, thinking that if he won, maybe he could ask for a reward with the third prince, and his archery skills are good, the prince of a country, it sounds very reassuring that he can let him reward his close servant Luo Yihuan to himself.
Thinking of this, Nan Jue left his seat, came to Emperor Wenzong and said, "Nan Jue is not talented, may the three princes teach me." ”
Zhongsun Yanhe knew that he was happy too early, and seeing that Emperor Wenzong didn't say anything, he agreed to compete with Nanjue, who said that he was used to using his own bow and crossbow, so he asked to go back to his residence not far away to get it, and let Zhongsun Yanhe shoot first.
Zhongsun Yanhe came to the archery place, put on the black cloth prepared by Empress Wu, and once again performed how to close his eyes so that the five arrows hit evenly at the edge of the archery, which once again attracted the applause of Emperor Wenzong and the concubines, at this time Gongyu Zhaoyi praised him even more, saying that if it is very dark today, only the lights are dim, but it does not affect Yanhe's performance at all.
Yan He just wanted to turn around and thank him, but just when he left the place where he was standing just now, five arrows fell from the sky, and Qi Brush cut off the five arrows of Zhongsun Yan He, and shot steadily at the position just now, and for a while everyone looked at the place where the arrows came from......
How could this be!! Zhongsun Yeonhyuk couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing at this moment, and he turned around......
It's him, it's really Nanjue!
