Chapter 95: Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
"Thank you, father." Deng Yan was neither arrogant nor humble, and then retreated to the side.
Next up is Feng Yang.
He was particularly nervous, Deng Yan had such a high score, where could he compare.
Because of the panic, he almost couldn't even get on the horse, which attracted laughter from many people.
Hearing the laughter, Feng Yang was even more uncomfortable.
In the end, he was young and thin-skinned, and his mentality was affected, Feng Yang played mediocre and only scored more than 70 points.
Song Ren's face darkened.
Gu Cezhou's eyes were heavy, he looked at Song Ren, and then moved his gaze to Concubine Song De: "This is what you said, arrange everything?" ”
This level can't even be compared to the first person, it's a shame!
This competition was obviously ordered by him, and it was a person who planned to cultivate himself, if he was taken away by the Queen Mother's party, where would his face go?
Concubine Song Defei gritted her silver teeth and lowered her eyes slightly: "Your Majesty, there is also Mu Gongzi." ”
Gu Cezhou had already understood everything, and sneered: "Aren't you looking forward to him making a fool of himself?" Otherwise, why on the day of the birthday banquet, Song Hongzhe and Feng Yang sang and harmonized? ”
Concubine Song Defei's body stiffened, and her heart gradually became cold.
This majesty is obviously scheming.
A few more people got off the field, but none of them scored as high as Deng Yan.
The last one is Mu Xiao.
Deng Chengfeng smiled and said, "I heard that he was attacked two days ago and injured his arm, and he still came to participate, aren't you afraid of losing the face of the Mu family?" ”
He looked smug and relaxed, feeling that his son must be able to win the championship.
Unexpectedly, the concubine born by a cheap maid is still somewhat useful.
Deng Yan's eyes flashed, he didn't speak, just looked at the field quietly.
Mu Xiao was ready, he injured his right hand, and when he got on the horse, he was involved in the wound, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
But as the gongs and drums sounded, his face returned to calm, and he immediately rode out.
There are only ten targets.
But there were twenty feathered arrows.
Ordinary people can't run out of feather arrows after running a lap.
The horse is not fast or slow, and Mu Xiao's first arrow is the red heart.
The distance between each target is about the same.
After he tried a few arrow targets, his eyes lit up, and at the sixth arrow target, he actually drew three feather arrows at once.
He was clearly skilled, without any pause, three arrows in unison!
Whoosh –
All three arrows were hit!
Deng Chengfeng was startled and stood up suddenly.
"Does he still have the skills? Sure...... It's definitely shit luck! ”
Next, Mu Xiao still fired three arrows at once.
However, he pushed too hard, and the wound cracked, and blood flowed down his arm, staining his hand red.
Even the feathers on the arrows were stained red.
It seems like a short time, but shooting three feathered arrows at the same time must be accurate and fast, not only consuming energy, but also full attention.
Beads of sweat had gathered on his forehead, and the wound on his arm hurt terribly.
But he knew that this was not only for himself, but also for the Mu family, and he must win the championship!
The last two arrows were fired, one hit the heart and the other deviated slightly, but it also scored eight points.
Mu Xiao grabbed the reins, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good!" Gu Cezhou got up and took the lead in applauding, "Sure enough, it's a child of the Mu family!" ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see who the winner is.
But the score still counts.
Mu Xiao got off the horse, his right hand trembled uncontrollably, and the blood was like a bead with a broken thread, falling all the way down.
Without waiting for Gu Cezhou to call the imperial doctor, he saw Shen Yunzhu running over and helping Mu Xiao back to deal with his wounds.
Gu Cezhou's eyes froze.
The eunuch finished counting the arrow targets and calculated that Mu Xiao scored more than 180 points.
He looked happy, turned his head to the Empress Dowager Yin and said, "Queen Mother, Mu Xiao really has the demeanor of the Mu family, doesn't he?" ”
Empress Dowager Yin's eyes were cold, and she said, "Naturally, yes." ”
Gu Cezhou finally won the Empress Dowager Yin once, and he was very happy, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
After Mu Xiao's wound was bandaged, he went to the young emperor to receive the order of thanks.
After the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor returned to the palace, many people stepped forward to say goodbye.
Mu Xiao is neither arrogant nor humble, and responds neither salty nor light.
When the Mu family had an accident back then, all these people hid, and he had seen the warmth and coldness of people, so he naturally knew that few of these people were sincere.
Zhaoyang Palace.
After Empress Dowager Yin changed her clothes, she came out to see Deng Chengfeng and his son.
Deng Chengfeng knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The dog is useless, please condemn the mother." ”
Deng Yan was prostrate on the ground.
Empress Dowager Yin said: "It's Mu Xiao's skills, what is his crime?" The mourning family and your Anyang Hou Mansion have not lost face. ”
Pei Zhen also said: "It can be seen that the eldest prince is a malleable talent, if the Hou Ye had cultivated it carefully, the eldest prince would not have lost to Mu Xiao today." ”
Deng Chengfeng's face was sneering: "He came from a humble ......"
"What about being from a humble background, as long as you have the ability, you will not be looked down upon." Empress Dowager Yin smiled and called people up, she looked at Deng Yan kindly, "You are a capable person, why don't you go to the Imperial Forest Army to train, how about it?" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Deng Yan wanted to kneel down again to thank him.
Empress Dowager Yin asked people not to be polite, and then asked him how old he was, and he was not yet married, so she promised him the girl of her mother's family.
Deng Yan's lips moved, wanting to say something.
Deng Chengfeng glared at him before Deng Yan swallowed his words back.
When he left the palace, Deng Yan said: "Father, how should I ...... Jinniang?"
Deng Chengfeng turned his head and sneered: "Now that the Queen Mother appreciates you and marries Miss Yin Jing to you, your biological mother is lowly, now that you have the opportunity to climb up, don't be ignorant!" ”
"But my father promised me, if I participate in the competition, I will raise Jinniang to be a concubine." Deng Yan pleaded, "Please also ask my father to give Jinniang a way to live for the sake of Jinniang's bloodline of the Deng family." ”
That Yin Jing is notoriously spicy.
Before he married his wife, he was pregnant before he had a room, how could Yin Jing tolerate himself becoming a laughing stock.
He knew that his status was low, and he really didn't want to be valued by his father, he just wanted to be with Jin Niang, even if he didn't marry a wife, it didn't matter if he was ridiculed.
"She is a cheap slave, is she qualified to carry my Deng family blood?!" Deng Chengfeng said angrily, "You have now made a marriage with the Yin family, and I will solve this trouble for you." ”
"Father!" Deng Yan was full of panic.
"Deng Yan, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, I really wouldn't look down on you, if you make some merits, I will ask you to be crowned the prince in the future. If a man wants to do great things, he can't be swayed by his children's private feelings! Deng Chengfeng said.
Deng Yan was cold.
But he couldn't resist his father, because his ability was not enough.
Not long after the two left, a palace maid came out from the corner, her eyes flashing.
That Jin Niang was originally raised outside, Deng Chengfeng said to do it, and immediately sent someone to solve the trouble of Jin Niang.
However, the people from the Hou Mansion of Anyang went and found that the yard was in a mess, Jin Niang was gone, and even the silver money was gone.
Deng Chengfeng only thought that Jin Niang ran away by himself, but in order to prevent future troubles, he still sent someone to investigate Jin Niang's traces, and he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to have any accidents in the sunrise.
