Chapter Twenty-Five: Encountering difficulties and skillfully resolving them
Su Yuexue followed Zhuge Hao and Zhuge Yuzheng into the house, she was a little strange why Zhuge Changfeng was not there, so she asked, "Uncle, where is Feng'er, why don't you see his people?" ”
"He's out on errands, and he'll be back later!" Zhuge Hao replied.
"Uncle, there are some things that Xue'er doesn't know whether to say or not." Su Yuexue looked at Zhuge Hao as if hesitantly.
"If there's anything you can't say to your uncle, Cher, what's the matter?" Zhuge Hao said with a laugh.
"Then I'll say it bluntly, Xue'er feels that Sister Yuzheng and Aunt Yue have been really wronged over the years, although Sister Yuzheng is a concubine, she is gentle and kind, she really shouldn't be treated like this, uncle, what do you think?" Su Yuexue looked at Zhuge Hao and said bluntly.
"I know what you said, and I also understand the grievances that Yue'er and Zheng'er have suffered, but I am not often in the house, and some things are difficult to take into account." Zhuge Hao was very embarrassed, it was not that he didn't know what Shangguan Yue and Zhuge Yuzheng had experienced, but Liang Xi and Zhuge Yurou were his wife and eldest daughter after all, and if he punished them for no reason, it would inevitably be true.
"Xue'er can understand uncle, this matter still needs to be discussed and handled, I just hope that my uncle can try to pay attention to it in the future, and don't let Sister Yuzheng be hurt again." Su Yuexue can fully understand Zhuge Hao's difficulties, but she still has to remind him, after all, if this matter is not explained, I am afraid Zhuge Hao will not pay too much attention to it, although he dotes on Shangguan Yue and Zhuge Yuzheng, but he can't always stay by their side. How it should be is still a good plan.
"Xue'er I understand everything you said, I will pay more attention to it in the future." Zhuge Hao nodded, he felt that Su Yuexue was different from before, Su Yuexue was timid and easy to bully, and she didn't dare to talk much at all. But now Su Yuexue is not only bold and careful, but also calm and calm, I haven't seen her for three years, I didn't expect her to change so much.
When Su Yuexue was about to say something, a eunuch walked in from outside the door, he held the holy decree in his hand, and said in an awkward voice: "The emperor has an edict, you still don't kneel down to accept the decree!" The eunuch snorted softly when he saw that the three of them did not move.
The three of them reacted and walked forward a few steps and knelt down, and the eunuch opened the holy decree when he saw this, and read it: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that three days later is the birthday of Princess Mingyu, and General Zhuge and his family are specially invited to participate, Qin this!" After the eunuch finished speaking, he closed the holy decree and motioned to Zhuge Hao to continue.
Zhuge Hao stepped forward and took the holy decree and said respectfully: "Weichen obeys the decree, thank you father-in-law!" Seeing that Zhuge Hao had already received the order, the eunuch glanced at the three of them and left.
"The princess's birthday actually invited the General's Mansion family, can I go too?" Zhuge Yuzheng was very excited when he heard the content of the holy decree, "It's a pity that my mother and son have never been good, otherwise maybe we can be together." Thinking of Shangguan Yue, Zhuge Yuzheng's face was sad.
"Yes, Sister Yuzheng, you can also go, you don't have to be sad, if Aunt Yue knows that you can enter the palace to attend the princess's birthday banquet, she will definitely be very happy." Su Yuexue patted Zhuge Yuzheng and said.
"Well, I'm going to tell my mother the good news!" Hearing this, Zhuge Yuzheng cheered up and quickly ran towards the door.
"Then, uncle, Xue'er has also said goodbye, and will come back to visit another day!" Seeing Zhuge Yuzheng leaving, it was not too early, and Su Yuexue didn't want to stay longer, so she said hello to Zhuge Hao and left the general's mansion.
Three days later
Su Yuexue was woken up by Xiaohe's voice again, she knew that Xiaohe woke her up so early for the princess's birthday banquet. Su Yuexue was very helpless, she thought that she was not on the list of this banquet, but she didn't expect that Xiao Mingyu would let her and Su Ruoyun participate by name, which made Su Yuexue very puzzled, to say that the relationship between Xiao Mingyu and Su Ruoyun was okay, it was nothing to let Su Ruoyun go.
But she didn't know that Xiao Mingyu well, why didn't she even call her, how long has she been back, this banquet and that banquet are not over yet, hey.
I thought so, but I still had to go, Su Yuexue quickly picked herself up and walked out of the Snow Feather Courtyard with brisk steps. I didn't meet Su Ruoyun this time, which made her quite hilarious, she didn't want to tear up with Su Ruoyun again, it was too boring.
Su Yuexue got out of the carriage and jumped about to enter the palace gate, but she happened to see Ye Mochen at the palace gate.
"Hey, Ice!" Su Yuexue ran to Ye Mochen's side to greet him, but Ye Mochen didn't respond to her immediately, they walked a few steps before Ye Mochen spoke: "How is your injury?" Is it totally good? Ye Mochen didn't know why he wanted to care about Su Yuexue's injury, he felt that with Su Yuexue's jumping up and down without a peaceful temperament, her injury should be difficult to recover.
"It's all right, thank you very much!" Su Yuexue replied happily when she saw Ye Mochen's inquiry.
"Oh!" Hearing the answer, Ye Mochen answered and continued to walk forward.
"Bing Cube, you slow down, why are you walking so fast?" Su Yuexue followed Ye Mochen's footsteps and wanted to catch up with him, but Ye Mochen walked too fast, and Su Yuexue really struggled to chase him.
Su Yuexue didn't expect this scene to fall in the eyes of Xiao Mingyu and Su Ruoyun, Xiao Mingyu glared angrily at Su Yuexue's back as she left, and she was angry.
"Princess, I'll just say it, that Su Yuexue is not a good person, she is just a fox!" Su Ruoyun said beside Xiao Mingyu, the hateful Su Yuexue, this slut, not only seduced Xiao Tianxuan, but now even Ye Mochen will not let go. She won't let Su Yuexue go, but it's easier to let Xiao Mingyu deal with it than to make it herself.
"Damn, dare to rob my brother Mochen, I won't let her go!" Xiao Mingyu rubbed the handkerchief in his hand and said hatefully.
"Princess, the courtier has an idea!" Su Ruoyun smiled and motioned for Xiao Mingyu to come over, Xiao Mingyu listened to Su Ruoyun's suggestion and nodded in agreement.
The banquet came to an end soon, Su Yuexue dozed off several times halfway, seeing that the banquet was about to end, she just wanted to get up and stretch, and suddenly she heard Xiao Mingyu talking, she had to sit up and look at Xiao Mingyu
"This banquet was held by my father to celebrate my birthday, and my father left first because of his busy business, and this princess also knows that you are tired of these songs and dances, so this princess came up with a new idea!" Xiao Mingyu said this and stared at Su Yuexue below, Su Yuexue felt Xiao Mingyu's gaze and suddenly felt a chill.
"I don't know what the princess has in mind!" After listening to Xiao Mingyu's words, the people below were very curious.
"This princess heard that Su Yuexue, the eldest lady of the Su family, has extraordinary archery skills, so I want her to show it to everyone." Xiao Mingyu looked at Su Yuexue, and Su Yuexue had no choice but to get up. But who can tell her how Xiao Mingyu knew that she could shoot arrows, she has never shown herself in front of others, and she has never even mentioned it, which is too strange. When Su Yuexue was thinking about it, Yu Guang glanced at Su Ruoyun, only to see Su Ruoyun's smug face, Su Yuexue was relieved, this must be Su Ruoyun's ghost again.
"The princess laughed, the courtier is just a weak woman, she has been weak and sickly since she was a child, how can she be extraordinary in archery?" Su Yuexue looked directly at Xiao Mingyu and said respectfully.
Ye Mochen couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at Su Yuexue, this girl is really a liar, he has seen her skills, although he has not seen Su Yuexue shoot arrows, but looking at her little expression, he knows that she will definitely know, but he doesn't want to show it.
Xiao Tianxuan wanted to stop Xiao Mingyu when he heard this, but Ye Mochen grabbed him and signaled him not to be excited, just watch it carefully.
"Princess Ben said that you will, let you show, do you look down on Princess Ben like this?" Xiao Mingyu felt very angry when she heard Su Yuexue say this, Su Yuexue dared not to obey her, did she not want to live.
"Since the princess has to say that the courtier's archery skills are extraordinary, the courtier's daughter can only obey the princess's statement. It's just that I don't know how the princess wants her courtiers to show it. Su Yuexue didn't really obey Xiao Mingyu, but she felt that she wouldn't get any benefit if she continued to fight, so it was better to see what Xiao Mingyu wanted to do.
"In this way, you compare with the guards in the palace, you are all blindfolded with black cloths, each holding two apples in each hand, and one on your head is standing in front of the arrow target, whoever can make the apple shoot the bull's-eye will win, and the winner of the princess can promise her a condition." Xiao Mingyu said, she expected that Su Yuexue would not win, and the guards obeyed her, if something happened during archery, it could only be said that the guards missed, and she couldn't be held accountable at all, Su Ruoyun's method was really good!
"So that's the case, the courtiers understand, but the courtiers have one condition, the courtiers want the second sister to stand in front of the arrow target with an apple, we have a deep sisterhood, presumably the second sister will not refuse, what do you think, princess?" Su Yuexue looked at Xiao Mingyu and Su Ruoyun's expressions and immediately understood what was going on, but how could she let Su Ruoyun stay out of the matter with such a good thing.
Sure enough, Su Ruoyun's face changed greatly when she heard this, but Xiao Mingyu only wanted to kill Su Yuexue, and she wouldn't care too much about Su Ruoyun, so she simply agreed.
Su Yuexue pulled Su Ruoyun to the open space, there were several arrow targets standing in the clearing, Su Yuexue shook Su Ruoyun's hand and smiled and said: "Sister should be careful later, after all, my sister's archery skills are not very accurate, if you accidentally shoot your sister, don't blame my sister!" ”
After saying this, Su Yuexue took three apples from the side and put them on the top of her head and hands. Opposite her stood the guard, his eyes blindfolded by a black cloth, and the arrow in his hand was ready to be wound.
Su Yuexue looked at the three arrows that were shot at her, and it was obvious that these three arrows were not aimed at the apple but at her body. The corners of Su Yuexue's lips hooked, her head tilted back, her hands were raised up and the apple was thrown, she spun a few times and kicked the tail of the arrow when it was about to hit her, and they all kicked behind her. The onlookers didn't know what was going on, but they saw that all three arrows hit the apple, but they didn't hit the bull's-eye, and they were still far from the bull's-eye.
