236 an arrow
There was silence in the room, only the "quack" sound of the little starling that seemed to come from near and far outside the window, rough and harsh.
Wuyang and Han Xingmeiyu locked the ground and looked at each other.
Duanmu Fei said unhurriedly: "The deer is on my sister's left hand, but my sister is injured by the right hand of the string, judging from the arrow of the wound, the arrow should be shot from the left rear of my sister......" Her voice was as crisp as a bell, cold as water.
Duanmufei didn't go on, but Wuyang and Hanxing already knew that Du Ming was really a stray arrow, then the arrow should be shot to the left, and it shouldn't be Duanmujun's right arm.
Wuyang and Han Xing's faces sank like water, Han Xing was so angry that he slapped the case, and said angrily: "This Liu Yingshuang's mind is really vicious!" Hongu looks at her like a sharp-beaked monkey gills! ”
Duanmu raised her right eyebrow, she didn't have much contact with the ladies in Beijing, and she really couldn't remember the person Han Xing said.
Greeting Duanmu Fei's puzzled eyes, Wuyang's cherry lips outlined a disapproving arc, and explained: "Liu Yingshuang is the 'cousin' of the Wei family. When Wuyang said "cousin girl", there was undisguised disdain in her voice, "It's just the niece of a cheap concubine, but the Wei family is pampered like a 'cousin'." Although the mansions in the capital didn't dare to say anything because they were afraid of Wei Yongxin's face on the surface, who didn't make fun of the Wei Mansion in secret.
Duanmu Jun looked serious when he saw Duanmu pursing his mouth, and hurriedly said softly: "Zhenzhen, don't worry. I'm really fine......"
Before the words fell, Bi Chan hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, and curtsied: "Big girl, fourth girl, the doctor from the Tai Hospital is here." ”
"Hurry up, please." Duanmu Fei hurriedly ordered.
But the two sisters Wuyang and Hanxing glanced at each other strangely, and Hanxing muttered suspiciously: "This palace didn't let people ask for a doctor......
Because Duanmujun's injuries were not serious, she said that she had gold sore medicine here, and said that she had dealt with these skin injuries for her father Duanmulang when she was in the north before, and from the moment she was injured, Duanmujun behaved very calmly, and even the bandage on her left arm was bandaged by herself by asking the accompanying palace maid to help bandage it, so at her insistence, Wuyang and Hanxing did not call the imperial doctor.
It's strange, who could be called the Imperial Doctor?!
Before they could delve deeper, they heard the sound of messy and hurried footsteps on the other side of the door, mixed with the sound of heavy gasps.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the door was lifted again from the other side, and a stream of people hurried in, one after the other.
Just now, Bi Chan only said that the imperial doctor was here, but what was the imperial doctor, the first one to come in was the Huang Yuan envoy of the imperial hospital, followed by the imperial physician Cheng, who was the best at trauma, and then followed by two medical girls and two medicine boys, and they suddenly crowded this not particularly spacious room.
The envoy of the Huang Yuan and his party were obviously in a hurry, and they ran out of breath, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Wuyang and Hanxing both raised their eyebrows strangely, and the doubts in their eyes became even thicker.
Usually, these imperial doctors asked for their pulse, the princes and princesses, and they were never so anxious, and Duanmujun was only a little skin injury, so even the envoy of the Yellow Court was alarmed.
"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess."
Huang Yuan made them salute Wuyang and Hanxing first, and then they were casually sent by Wuyang to see Duanmujun's injury.
Imperial Physician Cheng hurriedly bowed forward, and looked at Duanmujun's right arm with sincere fear, the wisteria had already cleaned the wound, and it was almost the gold sore medicine, and the condition of the wound was clear at a glance.
Imperial Physician Cheng breathed a sigh of relief all of a sudden, wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead and said: "The wound is not deep, it is just scratched by the tip of the arrow, as long as you take care of it and take the medicine well, it should not leave a scar." ”
Hearing this, the rest of the room also breathed a sigh of relief, and the two medical women immediately took over the wisteria, carefully applied ointment to Duanmu, and then carefully bandaged it.
Because it was a traumatic injury, Imperial Doctor Cheng didn't prescribe any more decoction, but he still wrote a list for Duanmu Fei, listing all kinds of taboos clearly, in addition to a jar of gold sore medicine, he also deliberately left the jade muscle ointment with the characteristics of Tai Hospital, saying that after the wound scabbed over, he would apply this every day until the scab fell out.
The envoy of the Yellow Courtyard came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.
After they left, Wuyang and Han Xing still couldn't react, and they always felt that the imperial doctors' actions were a little strange, but Han Xing couldn't care about this at the moment, and said angrily: "Sister Huanghuang, this account can't be settled like this!" ”
Wuyang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "There is no real evidence for this matter, and secondly, Ah Jun only suffered some skin injuries, no matter where he sues, it will only show that we are petty, and that Liu Yingshuang can't stand any punishment at all." ”
After a pause, Wuyang continued in a deep voice: "Hanxing, don't worry, and wait for two more days, let's find a chance to make her suffer a little more!" As he spoke, a sharp cold light flashed under Wuyang's eyes.
Han Xing was still a little unwilling, pouted, and his lips were so curled that he could almost hang an oil bottle.
After sitting in Zhilan Pavilion for a while, the two princesses took their leave together.
Under the careful service of the maids, Duanmu Jun wiped his body with warm water and changed his dress again.
At this time, the maid came to say that the holy car was about to return to the hunting palace.
According to the custom, the emperor will reward the leaders of these three days at the hunting platform at the beginning of today's unitary year, which means that they have to go to the hunting platform.
The two sisters followed the flow of people towards the main entrance of the hunting palace, and finally, everyone gathered around the hunting platform like a hundred birds and phoenixes, and the entire hunting palace square was noisy and lively, and the crowd was crowded.
Before the emperor arrived, everyone gathered together in twos and threes, whispering to each other.
Duanmu Fei looked around, looking for Wuyang and Jun Lingxi, but heard an unfamiliar female voice suddenly coming from the front right: "Duanmu girl." ”
Duanmu followed the prestige, and saw a graceful figure dressed in a goose-yellow riding costume striding towards her and Duanmu Jun strutting forward, the girl seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thick green silk comb with a charming fallen horse bun, wearing a white jade inlaid ruby double knot Ruyi hairpin, and a plum blossom-shaped flower on her forehead, which made her jade-like little face bright and gorgeous.
"Miss Liu." Duanmujun called out lightly.
Duanmu squinted his eyes, and it was clear in an instant. Thinking about it, this girl in yellow is Liu Yingshuang in the "rumors".
"Duanmu girl, how are your injuries?" Liu Yingshuang quickly walked closer, looked at Duanmujun's right arm with a worried face, and said apologetically, "It's all mine, it's all because I'm not on the right head, I didn't expect the girl to suddenly jump in front of me, I couldn't hold the arrow for a while, so I accidentally shot and injured the girl...... Anyway, the injury is not serious, that is, some skin trauma, Duanmu girl shouldn't care, right? ”
Liu Yingshuang sighed embarrassedly, looking apologetic, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she sneered in her heart: Who let this Duanmujun have to fight with herself for the deer, but she boasted in front of her aunt that she wanted to hunt a deer and take the antler blood that can nourish yin and nourish the kidneys and give it to her aunt. If she hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and let Duanmujun's arrow miss, this deer would have been able to let Duanmujun go.
"Indeed, the girl's accuracy is not very good." Duanmu Jun echoed with a smile, his eyes clear.
Looking at Duanmujun's expression that seemed to mean something, Liu Yingshuang couldn't help but look at her for a moment, and then looked nonchalant: ...... Hum! Even if Duanmujun knew what it was, who would believe her if there was no evidence.
Duanmu looked at Liu Yingshuang without blinking, and the corners of her ruddy mouth curled.
At this moment, a voice came from not far away: "The emperor has arrived." ”
With the arrival of the Holy Driver, the second wave of autumn hunting has arrived.
After everyone greeted the emperor, the emperor praised the brave and heroic appearance of Dasheng Nan'er in the past three days, saying that everyone was enthusiastic, and shouted long live, and then selected the leader of the three days before the autumn hunt-
Zhu Liugongzi of General Xuanwei's Mansion.
The emperor gave Zhu Liugongzi to enter the Shenshu camp as a general, and rewarded him with a horse, a good field and a thousand silver.
Zhu Liugongzi was in high spirits for a while, knelt on one knee on the ground, and hugged his fists to thank the emperor for his mighty grace.
After Zhu Liugongzi retreated, the emperor was about to say something more, when he saw a goose-yellow figure walking out of the group of female relatives on the side, and the girl walked up to the emperor with her head held high in countless eyes with different looks.
"See the Emperor." Liu Yingshuang curtsied to the emperor, fell generously, and said with a smile, "Forgive the courtiers for their courage, every year the men compete to be the first to show their skills in the hunting ground, and the courtiers think that this time they should also renovate the old and give our women a chance to compete in order not to waste this great autumn hunt." ”
While Liu Yingshuang was talking, there was a rustling sound around her, especially the expressions of those noble ladies were a little weird.
A girl in Tsing Yi on Duanmufei's left muttered disdainfully: "What courtier?!" Does she deserve it too? ”
"Not really." The other girl in Cuiyi also echoed mockingly, "It's just the niece of a concubine, don't you think that Master Wei is her father?" ”
One of the emperor's chamberlains whispered in the emperor's ear, and the emperor suddenly realized, leaned back in his chair leisurely, and said with interest: "Miss Liu seems to be a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go." ”
Liu Yingshuang's beautiful melon seed smiled even more, and she blessed the emperor again, "Thank you for the emperor's compliment." The courtier's daughter was lucky enough to hunt a stag today. ”
As he spoke, two mothers-in-law carried a heavy deer carcass to the hunting platform, only to see that the deer carcass was hit by two arrows, one through the neck and the other through the deer's mouth.
These two arrows are shot very neatly, and they are also a little strong, which is rare in the girl's house.
The emperor was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows slightly. There is a saying that heroes do not matter their origins. This Liu girl's background is a little low, but it is also a little interesting.
"Good archery! It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go. The emperor clapped his hands and praised, "I will reward you with a pair of bows and arrows, and a horse with sweat and blood." ”
"Thank you for the reward." Liu Yingshuang couldn't wait to thank her, her eyes shining.
Today, she not only used this deer to please her aunt, but also showed her face in front of the emperor, which is really killing two birds with one stone! In the future, she rode this sweaty BMW out, who doesn't know that this BMW was given by the emperor?! Who would dare to despise her again!
After rewarding Liu Yingshuang, the emperor mentioned the palace banquet in the evening, and left with some princes and nobles.
Feng Yan, who was following the emperor, looked around while walking, reluctantly looking for Duanmu Fei in the crowd, and sighed in his heart: I can only wait for the palace banquet in the evening.
Everyone leaned over to send the emperor away, and after that, there was an uproar all around, congratulating Zhu Liugongzi and Liu Yingshuang, who had won today's reward.
"Miss Liu, I heard that the sweat and blood BMW travels thousands of miles every day, and its sweat is like blood, it is a BMW that is hard to find, congratulations to the girl." A crisp female voice suddenly sounded from the front, Liu Yingshuang raised her eyes to look, Duanmu Fei appeared a few steps away at some point, looking at her with envy.
"Thank you, Fourth Duanmu." Liu Yingshuang responded generously.
She knew that as long as she won the emperor's commendation, she would naturally rise to the top, and even those noble ladies who once looked down on her would look down on her differently.
"The emperor just praised Miss Liu, your archery skills are very good, can I ask the girl to 'advise'?" Duanmu Fei said and took two steps closer to Liu Yingshuang, smiling even brighter.
That sweet smile looks innocent at first glance, and at a second glance, it seems to reveal a faint provocation.
The word "instructing" can be understood as both "instructing and teaching" and "provocative competition".
However, this Duanmu Fourth Girl is a girl from the Shoufu family, and this girl from the Wenchen family is trying to ride and shoot with others! Several girls around exchanged a puzzled look.
"You want to shoot with me?" Liu Yingshuang glanced at Duanmu Fei, this Duanmu fourth girl is young, and she looks delicate and weak, not to mention anything else, her strength is definitely not as good as herself, and she still wants to provoke herself? !
Duanmu Fei waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to compete, the girl's archery skills have even been praised by the emperor, I don't dare to 'compare' with the girl." ”
Duanmu Fei said very modestly, but the girls around him were thoughtful.
This Duanmu fourth girl has a little meaning when she said sweat and blood from the beginning, and she has always talked about the emperor, could it be that she can't look past Liu Yingshuang's award from the emperor, so she proposed to compete with Liu Yingshuang? !
Several girls secretly exchanged glances, and there was a bit of disapproval in their eyes, feeling that this Duanmu Fourth Girl was a little narrow-minded, and she was so strong at a young age that she couldn't see others well.
Liu Yingshuang raised her chin and said proudly: "Fourth girl Duanmu, how do you want to 'instruct'?" "She's with you.
"How about a hundred steps through Yang?" Duanmu proposed with a smile, obviously having a plan.
"Then take a hundred steps through Yang!" The smile on Liu Yingshuang's face became even stronger.
Her bow shooting was enlightened to her by her uncle Wei Yongxin himself, and she invited the archer in the army to teach her to ride and shoot, even her uncle praised her, but unfortunately she was not born as a man.
In terms of bow shooting, she is definitely the best among these powerless noblewomen, not to mention a hundred steps through Yang, even if she adds another fifty steps, she is also seven or eight points sure.
The news that Duanmu Fei was going to test the bow shooting with Liu Yingshuang soon spread around, and many people surrounded them, waiting to see a good show.
At this moment, the sun is setting, the sky is already half dark, and the surroundings are dark. The palace people soon lit a big red lantern on the hunting ground square, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day, and some palace people marked a certain leaf of a big tree and counted a hundred steps.
"Please." Duanmu stretched out his little hand and humbly made a petition.
Liu Yingshuang was unequivocal, took the bow and arrow from the maid's hand, skillfully set the arrow, buckle the string, pre-pulled, and easily pulled the string, the action was like flowing water, "whoosh", the feather arrow shot out quickly, with a cold sound of breaking the sky, as fast as lightning......
In the next moment, the feathered arrow had already hit the marked leaf in front of it.
The arrow continued to fly forward with the leaves, until it hit a large tree a hundred feet away, and the trunk of the tree was shaken and swayed, and countless fallen leaves fell like rain.
Liu Yingshuang's arrow shot neatly, causing an uproar all around, and many people applauded and admired.
As a girl's family, to have such archery skills can be regarded as worthy of the emperor's reward of good horses and bows and arrows.
Liu Yingshuang hooked the corners of her lips complacently, put away her bow and arrows, turned her head to look at Duanmufei, stretched out her hand to Duanmufei to make an invitation, and said with a smile: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, please." ”
"Four girls." Bi Chan handed her Duanmu Fei's bow and arrow, her bow and arrow are much smaller than Liu Yingshuang's, or last autumn hunting, Feng Yan gave it, suitable for young girls, the bow is very light, and the string is easy to pull.
Bow shooting can calm the mind, and it can also exercise concentration, and Duanmu Fei will also practice when he has nothing to do on weekdays. She didn't dare to compare with others in this riding shot, but if she shot it immediately......
Duanmu Fei fiddled with the bow and arrow at will, and then also took the arrow, buckling the string...... Drawing the bow, every action is a board and a glance, the standard is terrible, but in the eyes of the connoisseurs around him, he secretly shakes his head.
This Duanmu girl's bow shot is only worthy of entry at a glance, and she dares to compete with others without shame, she really has no self-knowledge!
The corners of Liu Yingshuang's mouth hooked a sneer, she didn't have to look at it, she knew that she had won......
At this moment, Duanmu Fei turned around without warning, and the bow and arrow were aimed at Liu Yingshuang, "whoosh", the feather arrow came out of the string, and quickly grazed Liu Yingshuang's right arm like a meteor, Liu Yingshuang snorted in embarrassment, the sleeve was grazed by the feather arrow, and the red blood overflowed from the wound, and the goose-yellow sleeve was dyed red at once, and it looked very dazzling.
Many noble ladies gasped and let out one exclamation after another, and everyone in the square was in an uproar again, whispering one after another.
Most people could see clearly just now, and this Duanmu Fourth Girl was clearly ......
In a strange and complicated gaze, Duanmu Fei stuck out his tongue lightly and said: "Miss Liu, my archery skills are not at home, the accuracy is not good, anyway, the injury is not serious, that is, some skin trauma, Miss Liu shouldn't care, right?" ”
Duanmu looked at Liu Yingshuang with a smile, looking innocent.
Liu Yingshuang subconsciously raised her hand to cover the wound on her upper right arm, and the tingling sensation from the wound made her pretty face fade from blood, and scarlet blood oozed from between the fingers of her left hand.
"Fourth girl Duanmu, you did it on purpose, right!" Liu Yingshuang's voice seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, and her eyes glared at Duanmu Fei like sharp arrows.
"She must have done it on purpose!" Immediately, a girl in an orange riding suit stood up, and immediately after, three or four girls who were friends with Liu Yingshuang also echoed.
Duanmu looked at Liu Yingshuang with a crooked little face, with an innocent look on her lovely face, and said again: "Miss Liu, I'm really just not accurate enough." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, this Duanmu Fei dared to refer to the deer as a horse! Liu Yingshuang's face was even more ugly, her pretty face was blue, and she didn't know if she was angry or the wound hurt.
Liu Yingshuang pointed forward with her blood-stained left hand, and said coldly: "Duanmu Fei, the tree is on the right side, but you shot clearly to the left just now, if this is not accurate, then you are blind." She bit her lower lip slightly, endured the pain of the wound, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
The private discussions around him became louder and louder, and everyone looked at Duanmu Fei's eyes in surprise, contempt, doubt, or disagreement.
Anyone with a little eyesight can see that Duanmu Fei's arrow was deliberately shot at Liu Yingshuang, but why?!
“…… Could it be because she was jealous that Liu Yingshuang had just been rewarded by the emperor? ”
"Whether it's or not, this little girl dares to shoot people with arrows when she's not happy, and it's really ruthless."
"It's still weird. The fourth girl of Duanmu is a girl from the Shoufu family, she has always been the best in piano and chess, and she is knowledgeable, so she should not be such a ruthless person......"
“……”
Everyone expressed their opinions, and the voices intertwined one after another, making the square boil like a pot of hot water about to boil.
The commotion here is too obvious, and naturally it can't hide the forbidden army guarding nearby.
After hearing the arrival of his subordinates, a middle-aged general of the forbidden army frowned slightly, and his face sank like water.
No matter which mansion the girl Duanmu Fei is, she blatantly shoots arrows and hurts people in front of everyone, which is really too bad, not only is she lawless, but she also regards their forbidden army as nothing, and she can't just let it go.
The general of the forbidden army raised his hand and made a gesture, and three or four soldiers of the forbidden army followed. They were about to walk towards Duanmufei and Liu Yingshuang, when they saw a young waiter in Tsing Yi walking quickly towards them.
The general of the forbidden army immediately recognized the other party, greeted him attentively, and said to the little waiter with a fist respectfully: "Little scorpion father-in-law." ”
The little scorpion smiled and said, "General Yan, the overseer has an order, so the general doesn't have to worry about this matter." The little scorpion said, glancing meaningfully in the direction of the hunting platform.
The general of the forbidden army hurriedly looked towards the high hunting platform, only to see a long red figure shrouded in the brilliance of the red lantern, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes were looking at the direction of Duanmu Fei and Liu Yingshuang, and his expression revealed a bit of carelessness.
The general of the forbidden army was in his heart, and hurriedly clenched his fist to the little scorpion and said, "Little scorpion father-in-law, I understand." ”
At the same time, more and more people around heard the news, like a tide towards Duanmufei and Liu Yingshuang, the inner three floors, the outer three layers surrounded by water, countless burning eyes fell on Duanmufei in the center of the crowd, their eyes were either surprised, or contemptuous, or confused, or disagree.
Even if these sons and girls don't look down on people of Liu Yingshuang's identity, it doesn't mean that they will approve of Duanmufei's wanton and hurtful behavior, which is too arrogant and domineering.
The surrounding disturbances and noises didn't seem to have reached Duanmufei's ears at all, Duanmufei still looked at Liu Yingshuang with a smile, sighed and said, "Yes." Why do you have to shoot an arrow to the left when the target is on the right? ”
She paused and deliberately asked, "Miss Liu, what do you say?" ”
While speaking, she took a feather arrow from Bi Chan's hand, walked towards Liu Yingshuang with light steps, and casually threw the feather arrow at Liu Yingshuang's feet, then clapped her little hand, and said: "This arrow is 'returned' to Miss Liu, and we can be regarded as a courtesy exchange!" ”
Duanmu Fei's voice was as crisp as a jade bead falling on a plate, but it pierced Liu Yingshuang's chest like a sharp arrow, and she felt a dull pain in the wounds on her chest and right arm.
This scene made the surroundings noisy again, and Duanmufei's words sounded like they meant something. What she meant by returning the arrow to Liu Yingshuang was that Liu Yingshuang had shot her an arrow before?!
The inquiring eyes around made Liu Yingshuang purse her lips a little uncomfortably, and she was about to defend herself a few words, but she saw Duanmu Fei, who was a few steps away, suddenly pulled her bow again......
