Chapter 236: Two Rivals in Love
Emperor Long Yunqing knew the origin of this bow.
This bow was a birthday gift given to Long Yunche by the first emperor when Long Yunche's mother was still alive.
Long Yunche's mother, Concubine Yun, was also a person who knew how to ride and shoot before entering the palace, especially with bows and arrows.
After the first emperor gave this jade bow, he never went to the palace of the Yun family again, because at that time, the Zhou family was favored, and the entire harem was basically her world, and even Queen Zuo at that time did not dare to plunder its edge.
Because of this, Long Yunche became a prince with no sense of existence, and the first emperor had basically forgotten his existence.
It wasn't until Long Yunche grew up that Long Yunqing, who was still the prince at the time, got up by Long Yunqing, who accidentally fell into the water, that he was gradually known by the emperor.
It's just that after that, the Yun clan fell seriously ill and died, leaving only Long Yunche with this exquisite jade bow.
The importance of this bow in Long Yunche's heart is self-evident.
The emperor sighed in his heart.
Back then, even the two of them couldn't touch the bow and arrow, but now Long Yunche actually gave the bow to Luo Qingqian.
The Emperor's eyes flashed.
How could he not understand how much his younger brother valued Luo Qingqian, because he also valued this girl very much now.
For Luo Qingqian, Emperor Long Yunqing admitted that he didn't pay much attention to it before.
Because this girl is an idiot, even if her appearance is first-class, she won't impress him too much.
But I don't know when Luo Qingqian's glass-like eyes were actually imprinted into his heart.
In those eyes, he couldn't see the panic and fear of other women when they saw the emperor, or the hidden desires.
He saw equal interest and curiosity, and even some inquiry. This made the emperor begin to pay attention to Luo Qingqian.
He knew that Luo Qingqian opened a shop and was suppressed, and he also knew that Luo Qingqian had a close relationship with his eleventh brother, and it could even be said that they were in love.
This should have been a happy thing, and the marriage of his eleventh brother Long Yunche used to be his most concerned thing. But I don't know why, when Long Yunche came to the palace to ask for a marriage, he was actually hot-headed and found a reason to shirk it.
There are three thousand beauties in his harem, even though Luo Qingqian is outstanding in appearance, and there is nothing particularly outstanding compared to the beauties in his harem, but he just doesn't want to fulfill the two of them so simply.
For the first time, the emperor felt what a tangle was.
Luo Qingqian also came to participate in the autumn hunt today, and he was actually very happy.
Before, the Sifang family was kicked out by Luo Shangshu's family, and the emperor wanted to give Luo Qing a shallow breath, but he was worried that he would fall into the handle of interfering in the minister's family affairs, so he kept pressing.
Catching up with the opportunity today, he took advantage of the situation to promote her brother to an official position. This made the emperor feel relieved for Luo Qing.
And now seeing this bow, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Did you do the right thing?
The eleventh brother has been treating him with all sincerity since he was a child, and he has always assisted him to ascend to the throne, he really doesn't want to ruin the relationship between the two brothers because of Luo Qingqian.
However, he was still a little unwilling to let the two get married!
After all, he is now the emperor, and the whole world is his, let alone a woman!
The emperor's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were cloudy when he looked at the jade bow.
Luo Qingqian, who was peeking at the side, was a little uneasy in her heart.
What does the emperor mean by this?
Could it be that there is some mystery in this bow, and this emperor's eldest brother can't go back?
Although she was angry that Long Yunche put herself behind his brother, she really liked this bow.
If the emperor really asks her, will she give it or not?
Empress Mu on the side also found that the emperor had been out of his mind for a long time, so she stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, ......"
The emperor was called back to his senses by the empress, and turned his head to see Luo Qingqian peeking at the bow in his hand, with worry and reluctance in his eyes.
That look tingled the emperor's nerves slightly.
However, as the king of a country, even if his heart turns over the river and the sea, his face is still calm.
He smiled and handed the bow to the eunuch beside him, signaling to return it to Luo Qingqian.
Seeing Luo Qingqian take the bow, the emperor suddenly spoke: "I heard that your archery skills are good. Why didn't you join in the fun? ”
Among the noblewomen who came today, there are also generals who can also ride and shoot, and they have already gone to the hunting ground together. At this moment, he has also returned one after another with the prey he has hit.
Luo Qingqian saluted: "Where can you get your hands on Qingqian's archery, I don't dare to laugh and be generous." ”
As soon as Luo Qingqian's words fell, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "I have long heard that the second lady of the Luo family is all-powerful in civil and military affairs, I don't know if Concubine Yu has a chance to feast her eyes." ”
Everyone looked back and saw a neat woman in a white uniform jumping off her horse, carrying a long-tailed red fox in her hand.
The woman threw the already stiff fox to the eunuch on the side, stepped forward and saluted the queen mother and the emperor.
The emperor and empress let her calm down with a smile on their faces, and even the Empress Dowager Zuo, who had always had a polite smile, finally showed a real smile at this moment.
"The mourning family also said that why you were missing in the big tent just now, it turned out that you really ran to hunt. Come over and let my aunt take a good look at it, if it hurts. ”
The woman who called herself Yu Fei immediately stepped forward, came to the Queen Mother's side, and naturally snuggled up to the Queen Mother's side and said: "Queen Mother, although Yu Fei has returned to her hometown in the past few years, her work has not fallen, you don't have to worry." ”
Luo Qingqian finally thought about who the girl was. She is the daughter of the Zuo family, who said that she was going to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at Zuo Yufei with rare kindness and said, "You were busy rushing and didn't pay attention to your body before, but you were halfway through, and you almost had an accident." This has just arrived in the imperial capital, so don't run around, it's important to take care of your body. ”
Zuo Yufei was a little sad and said: "It's all because Concubine Yu is not angry, and she said that she would celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but she still didn't catch up." After speaking, she looked at the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother, not only do you not blame, but you also care so much about Yu Fei, Yu Fei really doesn't know how to repay you." ”
Empress Dowager Zuo laughed softly: "Look at your little girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”
Everyone saw that this girl named Yu Fei had become the latest favorite of the Empress Dowager Zuo, and her eyes changed when they looked at her. Instincts saw her as a strong competitor.
However, only Luo Qingqian knew that this Zuo Yufei was not coming for the emperor, but for Long Yunche.
Just thinking about it, Concubine Zuo Yu looked at Luo Qingqian again, and brought up the old matter again: "Second Miss Luo, you haven't answered my words yet." ”
Luo Qingqian looked up, and between them, Zuo Yufei's big eyes shot an undisguised fierce light, as if she was about to stare Luo Qingqian out of a hole.
I also know that this young lady must have heard the rumors about Long Yunche and herself in the imperial capital, and this is to regard herself as a rival in love.
Luo Qingqian knew that Zuo Yufei was a martial arts person, even if her fists and feet were embroidered with fists and legs, her kung fu would definitely not be bad if she was riding and arching immediately.
She smiled softly and said: "After Miss Yu is a military general, how can I say that she is also the daughter of Wenchen, where can I compare." ”
It's not that she admits cowardice, there is such a huge disparity between strength and weakness, she is a fool in the battle!
Chen Kerong on the side rolled her eyes, and said for fear that the world would not be chaotic: "Miss Luo Er is really too modest, and on the day of the ceremony, you were very majestic, and you smashed a pot of wine with an arrow." ”
"Oh" Luo Qingqian glanced at her deeply, and said indifferently: "Miss Chen didn't say it, I still forgot." Thanks to Miss Chen's jug on her head as a target that day, I wouldn't have been able to shoot so accurately. ”
As she spoke, Luo Qingqian also gave Chen Kerong a look of whether you are stupid or not, and Chen Kerong, who was immediately angry, almost rolled her eyes.
Some of the people who knew about Luofu and the ceremony secretly laughed.
Originally, I haven't seen anyone who has uncovered his scars, and Chen Kerong's brain is hopeless.
Concubine Zuo Yu didn't care about that, she turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, how about you let me compete with this Miss Luo Er in archery?" ”
The emperor looked at Luo Qingqian, then at Zuo Yufei, and before he could make a decision, the queen mother on the side said: "It's just two little girls playing, and the emperor will allow it!" ”
The queen mother has spoken, and the emperor can only nod and instruct the eunuch beside him to make preparations.
Luo Qingqian knew that he had no ability to refute this matter at all, so he could only order Yun Shu to fetch the quiver in the camp tent.
She squinted at Zuo Yufei, who was coquettish with the Empress Dowager Zuo, and sneered in her heart.
Since she wants to compare, then compare.
