Chapter Twenty-Eight: Duck Shooting Competition
Yan Yue didn't expect to be punished so severely by putting a lantern once, and the canonization three days later meant that Yan Yue had lost her freedom from then on, and lived in full accordance with the norms and etiquette of harem women, thinking of getting up every morning in the future to say goodbye, thinking of facing those idle and boring women every day, thinking that she could no longer do what she wanted to do every day, Yan Yue didn't even want to go back to Bi Rongxuan for a while. Chapter Twenty-Eight: Duck Shooting Contest Chapter].
It's still last night's leisurely lake, but it's not as good as last night's lanterns. Mama Zhuang followed closely behind Yan Yue, knowing that her master was in a bad mood, and she didn't think of anything to comfort her for a while. Yan Yue's gaze was fixed on the lake, and the lake shone with golden light in the sunlight. On the shore, flowers are blooming, butterflies are flying, and the fish in the lake are swimming freely.
"Mother, you see a lot of goldfish." Mama Zhuang casually threw leaves into the lake, attracting Yan Yue's attention as she spoke. Sure enough, the leaf in Mama Zhuang's hand fell into the lake, and a large group of red, white, and black goldfish swam happily, swimming around the leaf, as if discussing how to eat the leaf.
Zifei fish, the joy of Anzhi fish. But now Yan Yue can clearly feel that the fish are so happy, so leisurely and comfortable, and Yan Yue can't help but look crazy for a while. These fish, although they are only in the lake of life, they are so happy. They can swim in this lake as much as they want, this is their free world, and no one can interfere with it, what a pleasant thing. As for myself, I can no longer do whatever I want, maybe no freedom is no happiness!
Staring at the free fish, Yan Yue didn't know how long she had been obsessed. I don't know when the little plum came behind Grandma Zhuang, and I didn't hear him say anything to Grandma Zhuang and left in a hurry, let alone when there were a few more people behind him.
In the distance, there was a flock of ducklings in the lake, black and white mixed together, the black feathers in the sun were extremely shiny, and the white feathers were like white clouds, swaying and fluttering, and they swam in clusters, as if they were invited to browse the beautiful scenery in the lake. Yan Yue couldn't help but be very happy, and couldn't help but think of the song from her childhood: "There is a group of ducks swimming on the bridge in front of the door, come and count them, two, four, six, seven, eight." "The songs of my childhood are still in my ears, but the past is not the past, it is gone.
"Niangniang, give you a slingshot, the emperor is waiting to shoot ducks with you!" Mama Zhuang's slightly smiling face surprised Yan Yue, and the content of her words made Yan Yue a little confused. What to shoot ducks, what slingshots, and what to compete with the emperor...... It's all the same.
Yan Yue's confused eyes and expression were exchanged for a chuckle. With that chuckle, a figure flashed in front of Yan Yue's eyes, dressed in purple and red robes, which made him so handsome, but there was a gentle and doting smile between his eyebrows and eyes when he looked at Yan Yue. Yan Yue only felt that her heart was pounding suddenly, and her thoughts were in a mess, so she immediately twisted her neck and stopped looking at him.
"Didn't Yue'er see that this duck was fake?" In a warm and pampering tone, Yan Yue looked at the ducks again in surprise, and this time she saw something unusual. I really didn't pay attention to it just now, but I felt that a group of ducks were crowded together, and then I looked at it again and found that these ducks were moving a little mechanically and without any vitality. In addition, whether it is a black duck or a white duck, they also have one thing in common, they all have a silver lace around their necks, as if the ducks are wearing a beautiful necklace.
"Use this slingshot to shoot ducks, whoever hits the most will have a prize, if you win, say what you want for the prize." Murong Yan said with a smile, and then explained the rules of the game. Yan Yue couldn't help but laugh, the rules of this duck shooting are somewhat similar to the way billiards are played. The duck shooter can shoot the duck after hitting the target, and the opponent will shoot the duck if he fails. In the end, the statistics are as follows: who hits the most targets, and the one who shoots the most wins.
Playing with the slingshot, Yan Yue seemed to feel a kind of childhood atmosphere. Yan Yue was taught by her grandfather to play with a slingshot. When I was young, I went up the mountain with my grandfather to collect medicine, and whenever I encountered some beautiful birds, my grandfather would shoot them down with a slingshot for Yan Yue to play. Later, Yan Yue's slingshot skills became higher and higher, no matter whether the bird was in the tree or in mid-air, Yan Yue could hit nine out of ten hits. It's just that I haven't played for many years now, but I have a lot of hands.
Looking at the slingshot again, Yan Yue couldn't help but admire in her heart again, the royal thing is different, and the slingshot she played with when she was a child is simply a world of difference [Doctor Girl Crazy Concubine: Evil Emperor, see you in the cave!] Chapter Twenty-Eight: Duck Shooting Contest Chapter]. The slingshot I played with in my childhood, the shaft was made of tree branches at first, and then it was better to make it from wire. And the slingshot in Yan Yue's hand now, the bow shaft is made of ox horns, and it is lubricated and comfortable to hold in his hand. And the ducklings in the lake, according to Yan Yue's visual inspection, are about 20 meters away, if Yan Yue's previous skills, it should not be difficult to hit. It's just that under the combined action of the wind and the lake, the distance between them is slowly getting farther and farther, which will bring certain difficulties to the shooter.
"What, do you come first, or do I go first?" Murong Yan asked with a chuckle again. A trace of strangeness passed through Yan Yue's heart, it seemed that Murong Yan today was very different from the past, in his memory, this was the first time Murong Yan called himself "I", and his smile was so pure and natural, which made Yan Yue feel like she couldn't take her eyes off.
Hiding the surprise in her heart, Yan Yue forced herself to look away and said, "It's better for the emperor to go first, the concubine hasn't played for many years, and her hands are a little raw." ”
"I played this when I was 6 years old, but the royal brother and Wan'er have always liked to play this, and then I just watched from the side and never participated in it again. But I didn't feel like I was alive, and I picked up the slingshot with a bit of a feeling like I had played with it yesterday. Murong Yan said and smiled again, under the warm sunshine, his smile was even more dazzling and warmer than the sunshine, and Yan Yue was in a trance again.
Murong Yan raised the slingshot, his movements were chic and elegant, he looked like a boy next door in his childhood under the sun, Yan Yue looked at him and his heart pounded again. He returned his hand elegantly, Xiao Lizi quickly put a white pebble in the palm of his hand, he squinted slightly, and pulled the slingshot casually, the pebble flew out with a sound, and then came a little father-in-law's serious counting voice "Your Majesty, middle 1." ”
After shooting continuously, Yan Yue was not surprised by his results, and admired his manly demeanor in her heart. It stands to reason that the first person to shoot should take advantage of it, and the other can choose one that is close to him, and the distance is short and easy to shoot; Second, you can choose a flock of ducks, and the target is easy to shoot. But although Murong Yan was the first to shoot, he chose to shoot the sparse duck in the distance, which was actually just letting Yan Yue.
And after a few shots, Yan Yue also saw clearly what the white ammunition was, originally Yan Yue thought it was a white pebble, but later found out that it was not a stone at all, but a large pearl. With Murong Yan's shooting movements, Yan Yue couldn't help but secretly curse "extravagance" again and again in her heart. Such a good thing actually became a tool for him to shoot ducks.
One after another ducklings have fallen in response, and the little father-in-law's counting sound has also reached "middle 20", Murong Yan's slingshot is aimed at a little duck farther away, Yan Yue can't help but be nervous for him, because the distance of the little duck should be 50 meters away, and it is rippling back and forth in the water. Murong Yan's expression when he shot this time also became serious.
"Help!" As soon as he was about to pull the strings, Yan Yue suddenly shouted, this sudden cry frightened everyone, and all eyes were focused on Yan Yue's body. That Murong Yan pulled the bow, but Yan Yue suddenly roared, which shocked Murong Yan's hand, and the projectile didn't know where it flew.
"I did it on purpose, who made you not concentrate enough, and if you missed, you should be unlucky. If you even hit this one, I won't have a chance to shoot it when I'm close, so I'm deliberately messing with it. Yan Yue raised her head and said with an unreasonable look. Everyone couldn't help but want to laugh, they had never seen a lady so unreasonable. But the more unreasonable she is, the more someone wants to spoil her.
Murong Yan smiled and stepped back, and it was Yan Yue's turn next. Yan Yue said generously: "I want to try it first, I haven't played with this kind of slingshot, although the emperor has not played it for many years, but you have used it before after all, and today is the first time I have seen this kind of slingshot." Yan Yue said with a smile, this is not that Yan Yue is deliberately pretentious, this slingshot really can't be mastered without trying.
The first projectile flew out, and a duckling fell in response. This time, the target that Yan Yue hit was not far away, and the difficulty was not great, so everyone was not surprised. It's just that Murong Yan also judged from Yan Yue's skillful posture that this girl was an expert. With the voice of the little father-in-law, Yan Yue's numbers also counted from 1 to 20. This time, the slingshot raised by Yan Yue was aimed at the little duckling in the distance, which was the one that Murong Yan wanted to fight just now but was destroyed by Yan Yue and failed to do so.
Yan Yue smiled proudly, Yan Yue had completely found her sense after pulling the bow these 20 times. This time, although the little duck was a little farther away, Yan Yue was determined to win. And Yan Yue also thought about the prize, didn't Murong Yan say that he wanted it, then Yan Yue would give a special prize of "unruly". It seemed that it had reached the point where the victory was in hand, Yan Yue aimed steadily, drew the bow, and at the moment when Yan Yue's projectile was about to get out of his hand, a loud shout suddenly came from his ears: "There are assassins!" ”
As soon as Yan Yue's hand was released, the projectile didn't go far before falling to the ground. But where did Yan Yue still have the mind to care about the projectile and the duckling at this time, a pair of eyes widened, and all her thoughts were focused on Murong Yan's body. And the latter was a leisurely and innocent smile, but it made Yan Yue hate it so much that her teeth were really itchy, and this time Yan Yue was also fooled, and she fell for Murong Yan.
"Manly, big tofu!" Yan Yue kept repeating this sentence in her mouth, and her voice was not big or small, so that Murong Yan could hear it. Mama Zhuang's brows were furrowed, and she coughed a lot, but her master seemed to have been deaf all along. In the end, Yan Yue was annoyed by the cough, and Yan Yue also reprimanded hatefully, "I will return to the palace later, Niangniang, I will reward you with some cough medicine." This sentence frightened Mama Zhuang shuddered.
But Murong Yan didn't care at all, he listened with a smile, but replied as if unintentionally: "Weak woman, ruthless character!" ”
Now the ending is obvious, one to one. Both of them also deliberately stumbled each other, and the two of them were also one-to-one. In this way, there are no wins and losses, and of course no prizes. Yan Yue's originally happy mood was immediately annoyed by this result, and the freedom she was looking forward to was also disappointed. At that moment, he stomped his feet vigorously, and ordered a voice hatefully, "Mama Zhuang, let's go!" And he was the first to depart.
Only Murong Yan was left standing there, and the smile from the beginning slowly turned into a laugh.
Almost the same as Yan Yue's footsteps, Yan Yue's front foot entered Birong Xuan, and the reward of the Internal Affairs Office also followed, what to eat, use, wear, bring, and play. The minions of Bi Rong Xuan were in a mess, and laughter filled a courtyard. Only Yan Yue lay on her bed indifferently, unable to raise a trace of interest. There is only one thought in my heart that is becoming more and more firm, this Murong Yan is a little strange today, it is too strange, it is the first time to have such a low posture in front of him, the first time he used the word 'I' in his speech, and he also found things from his childhood to play with him, and gave himself so many rewards, could it be that the love poem played a role...... Yan Yue couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
In the Qingxin Palace, a certain man read and read the note in his hand, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, although the content of the note had been memorized, but a certain man still looked at it intently.
