Chapter 209: Trick Shooting

Under Su Jiudong's "command", everyone carried Concubine Changniang, who had fallen into a coma, back to the Invitation Moon Palace where she lived.

During this period, Su Jiudong did not dare to relax and kept doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Concubine Chang, until Imperial Doctor Ye, who was in charge of treating Concubine Chang, arrived to take over the rescue of Concubine Chang, and Su Jiudong was finally able to leave with confidence.

The chaotic situation in the harem is comparable to the chaos of the struggle in the previous dynasty, and if you are not careful, you will cause death, Su Jiudong entered the palace this time only to treat the imperial concubine, and Su Jiudong didn't want to get too involved in the rest of the things, so as not to burn himself.

Before Su Jiudong stepped out of the Inviting Moon Palace, Shuyu, the eldest girl beside Concubine Chang, stopped Su Jiudong with a voice:

"Miss Jiudong was the first to discover that Concubine Chang Niangniang fell into the water, which can be regarded as a witness. When the time comes, the saint will be held accountable, and Miss Jiudong will be asked to explain to the slaves and maids. ”

"Explain? What's there to explain? Tingyun, the eldest maid who served beside the imperial concubine and was in charge of sending Su Jiudong out of the palace today, frowned immediately and choked in displeasure.

"As Concubine Chang's personal servant, you are not well cared for, causing Concubine Chang Niangniang to fall into the water and be in distress, and now you are embarrassed to let us explain? Miss Jiudong entered the palace to treat the imperial concubine, not to justify you dereliction of duty! ”

Su Jiudong just wanted to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but Concubine Chang's exclamation came from inside the house: "There are insects!" There are bugs! ”

Shuyu heard Concubine Chang's exclamation, and her eyes immediately turned red, staring straight at Su Jiudong, with a pleading meaning in her eyes.

"Miss Jiudong, look at Niangniang, she shouted that there were insects again, she also shouted when she brought Niangniang back just now, Miss Jiudong, do you want to go in again and take a look for our Niangniang?"

Su Jiudong sighed helplessly, motioned to Tingyun to wait for a while, and then turned around and followed Shuyu back to the house to check on Concubine Chang's situation.

When Imperial Physician Ye saw Su Jiudong go and return, he also turned his inquiring eyes on Su Jiudong.

"Miss Jiudong, Concubine Changniang has been shouting that there are bugs, but the maids checked Niangniang's body and found no bugs, you are the first person to find Niangniang falling into the water, do you know what the bugs that Niangniang shouted are?"

"I don't know about this, little girl." Su Jiudong smiled: "The little girl only noticed that Niangniang fell into the water at that time, and then sent someone to rescue her with all her might, and did not pay attention to whether there were insects around Niangniang." ”

Hearing Yun come forward and say, "Miss Jiudong, since Imperial Doctor Ye is staying here to guard Niangniang, let's go back first." The imperial concubine is still waiting for the slave to send you out of the palace safely, and go back to give her life. ”

Although Concubine Chang is only a concubine, her status is not as good as the mountain of the imperial concubine, but the concubine is younger and more beautiful than the imperial concubine, and her personality is also Emperor Tianduo's favorite coquettish fan, so in the past one or two years, she has also been favored by Emperor Tianduo.

Therefore, Shuyu beside Concubine Chang did not have the slightest cowardice when listening to Yun next to the imperial concubine, and directly stepped forward to make a decision for Su Jiudong and replied arrogantly to listen to Yundao.

"Concubine Chang Niangniang is now dying, it is the time to employ people, I want to come to the imperial concubine Niangniang to learn that my mother also needs Miss Jiudong's care, I just hope that she can also be more reasonable, and can agree to Miss Jiudong to stay for my mother for the time being."

Tingyun heard Shuyu's words and scolded the imperial concubine for being "unreasonable", and his face immediately changed color, so he choked back angrily.

"When the lady in the palace is sick and goes to ask for a doctor, she has to make a report, and even the imperial concubine Niangniang invited Miss Jiudong to enter the palace for treatment, and she has reported to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and now your mother will directly rob people when she is sick and take people's favor, which is really shameless!"

For a while, Shuyu and Tingyun, the two big girls who had a face in front of the concubines in the palace, began to spit fragrantly back and forth, and they were bound to distinguish themselves in snatching people for treatment and fighting mouths.

Su Jiudong asked herself that she was just a little Miss of the General's Mansion, whether it was the imperial concubine who gave birth to the three princes, or the concubine who was favored by Emperor Tianduo, she couldn't afford to offend on both sides.

Choose any one of them and you risk offending the other.

Whether to leave the palace with Tingyun and let Tingyun go back to the imperial concubine, or stay in the Yueyue Palace to continue to treat Concubine Chang and testify for the innocent slaves... Su Jiudong had her own answer in her heart, but this answer might hurt people, so she couldn't say it directly.

Su Jiudong, who was in a dilemma, was speechless for a while, looked at Imperial Doctor Ye, Imperial Doctor Ye shook his head slightly at Su Jiudong, signaling that he also had no solution to the current situation, and then continued to bow his head to treat Concubine Chang, who was still screaming "worms".

Unlike Su Jiudong, who was trapped in the harem and was in a dilemma, Wen Yiheng, who was in the early dynasty, had the opportunity to play a game of archery with Emperor Tianduo and several princes and ministers at the shooting range.

Since the founding emperor of the Dayin Dynasty established the martial arts system, archery has been included in the selection and assessment of talents in the imperial court. Beautiful book bar

Whether it is a royal child or a prince or nobleman, they all need to practice riding and archery, so Emperor Tianduo often holds archery competitions in summer.

Since this is a small-scale archery competition, it was only held in the small Birch Garden. Emperor Tianduo avoided many red tapes in the past when it was archery competitions, and there were no clear requirements for the dress of ministers and princes, so he was much more casual when entering.

After all the personnel returned to their seats and sat down, Emperor Tianduo sat on the viewing seat and said loudly: "Today's archery is different from the past, in the past, it was all shooting wine glasses, the texture of the wine glasses is hard, too boring, today I want to play a simple new game with all Aiqing." ”

Emperor Tianduo waved his hand and hung the silk wine naan on a bamboo pole a hundred steps away from the starting line, before he introduced.

"Today we changed to shoot wine naan, this wine naan is filled with wine inside, and the outside is made of silk cloth from the Western Regions, which is soft and has no support, and is more likely to be blown by the wind, so it is a little more difficult than ordinary wine glasses... However, the more difficult it is, the more fun it is. ”

"Today is still a competition, the princes and Aiqing who are interested in participating can voluntarily go out to shoot arrows, whoever can shoot this wine naan in the shortest time will be able to take this silk wine naan from the Western Regions as their own."

Tang Zhen, the son of Tang Zhongye, a scholar and a servant shooter, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are as many as eighteen princes and ministers who came to participate in the competition today. Isn't it too unfair for eighteen people to compete for a silk wine naan? ”

"Oh? How is it unfair for eighteen people to fight for a wine naan? I want to hear what you have to say. "Emperor Tianduo is in a good mood today, and he also has the heart to relax and joke with Tang Zhen, a junior.

Tang Zhen raised his head proudly and smiled very brightly: "Weichen recently learned cavalry and archery with General Su in the military camp, and General Su praised Weichen's rapid progress, which is not much better than other princes, so..."

"So Wechen is worried that if we wait for the lottery to determine the order, Wechen accidentally draws the front number and directly wins such a precious silk wine naan on the spot, and the person who draws it will have no play, wouldn't it be looking for someone to complain and offend people..."

Prince Yun Mulin slapped his thigh happily and said happily: "Ha, Tang Zhen, you kid is worried that you will offend people if you win the wine naan first, why don't you worry that you will offend people first as soon as you say this..."

Emperor Tianduo was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be Ah Zhen, the little monkey of Shang Shu's family... Okay, I'd like to see if you're really good, or if you're talking about it. ”

"Since you are worried that you will offend people by winning the wine naan first, then I will do what you wish, point you to take the lead, and be the first to show it, if you really hit it with one hit, I will immediately reward you with this silk wine naan, and give you a set of streamer wine glasses from the Nanzhu Kingdom."

The streamer wine glass paid tribute by the Southern Pearl Kingdom is made of a special material, which not only glows in the dark, but also emits different glows with different liquids.

If it is ordinary white water, the light emitted is white light; If it is a tea with a yellowish or greenish tint, it will emit a dull green light, and if it is a dark liquid such as wine, it will emit a stunning dark red light... The wine glass is beautifully shaped, expensive to build, and very magical.

Yun Mulin shouted to Tang Zhen in a loud voice: "Tang family Ah Zhen, this king has wanted that streamer wine glass for a long time, but my father has been reluctant to agree to give it. Today is your luck, if you can hit it with one hit, there are silk wine naan and streamer wine glasses, you are really envious of others! ”

Emperor Tianduo sat on the high platform and announced the rules loudly, and the conversation with Tang Zhen and the important increase in the streamer wine glass made the scene boil.

Unlike the more emotional courtiers, Wen Yiheng, who had no intention of playing, stayed in the courtyard next to him, eating fruit and drinking wine, too lazy to participate in the play, laughter and gags of those courtiers.

Because Wen Yiheng only wanted to rest and relax today, and did not plan to participate in the competition, he did not wear a neat defensive arrow suit, but only wore a slightly casual light-colored coat and robe, showing the graceful posture of a handsome boy.

Liu Defeng, the great eunuch beside Emperor Tianduo, continued to announce the rules: "In addition to the different settings of the target items in today's competition, there are new tricks in the gameplay..."

"Those who participate in the competition need to follow the rhythm of the music played by the live musicians according to the rhythm of the music played by the live musicians, and the number of steps the horses must follow the beat, and there can be no mistakes."

"If you make a wrong move, you will be deducted a point, and whoever finishes the game will have more points and the lower the ranking. Only the last person in the top spot will win today's prize. The saint intends to let Tang Zhen Gongzi show his skills for everyone, and ask Tang Zhen Gongzi to take his position. ”

When Tang Zhen heard the new rules, he couldn't help but look pale, and he didn't have the confidence to win and win the silk wine naan just now.

Tang Zhen has never participated in actual combat, and the course that Su Fenglan usually sets for him is only fixed-point training, and all Tang Zhen has never tried archery on the move. Such new rules invisibly make it more difficult for him to shoot.

It is precisely because the participants are required to constantly ride their horses to move, and they have to lock on to the target in the constant position movement, and be sure to hit it with one shot, which makes the difficulty of archery another level.

The guards had already arranged arrow targets in the far corner of the Birch Garden, and placed them one by one in various directions before and after the silk wine naan, which increased the difficulty for the contestants to lock on to the target while moving.
