Chapter Eighty-Seven: Meeting the Seventh Prince
The carriage drove out of the palace and headed for a training ground on the outskirts of Beijing.
About an hour later.
The carriage slowly stopped outside a one-man high fence.
When I got out of the carriage with the little one, I saw two guards standing there at the door, guarding the gate.
After showing the proof to the guard, Wang Xue walked into the practice ground with the little guy.
This driving range is reserved for the use of the royal family.
It covers a wide area.
Archery, horseback riding, jousting and more, you name it.
"Cher! This way! Come on. ”
As soon as the two of them entered the gate of the driving range, they heard a familiar voice from a distance.
When I turned my head to look, I saw the third princess Wang Yuxin standing in the pergola not far away and waving at them.
When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't just the third princess here.
There are also several princes chatting.
And among them, there was a man who was a little familiar, but a little Mo Sheng, took the initiative to get up, smiled with him and said, "Sister Xue'er, long time no see." ”
Wang Xue thought hard for a while, and then it suddenly dawned on her that the man in front of her who gave people a gentle and elegant feeling was none other than Wang Yanqi, the seventh prince who wanted to kill her.
Looking at this man who obviously wanted to kill himself, but still smiled kindly at himself, Wang Xue had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It's like a person who has a knife in his hand, but still smiles and says to you, "Don't be afraid, my knife is fast and doesn't hurt." ”
Thinking of this, Wang Xue couldn't help but shudder, and then subconsciously clenched the hand holding the little ball.
Xiao Tuanzi looked up at his mother suspiciously, and then seemed to understand something, and suddenly heard him speak: "May I ask which imperial uncle are you?" ”
The Seventh Emperor was slightly stunned, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Tuanzi's body, the smile on his face became more and more gentle, and said, "I am the Seventh Prince, you can call me Uncle the Seventh Emperor." ”
"Xuan'er has seen the Seventh Emperor Uncle." Xiao Tuanzi said very sensibly.
"Xue'er has seen the Seven Emperor Brothers, the Four Emperor Brothers, the Sixth Emperor Brothers, and the Third Princess." Wang Xue returned to her senses at this time, and then hurriedly saluted in turn.
The fourth prince Wang Zhao and the sixth prince Wang Quyu both liked Xiao Tuanzi quite much, so they pulled him over and asked him to call him uncle while playing with him.
"Brother Huang is divided, just call me Seventh Brother, by the way, why did Sister Xue'er come today, you must know that the autumn hunting will come in another ten years, you only came at this time, I'm afraid that the time for practice will not be enough." Wang Yanqi asked with concern.
Wang Xue smiled and shook her head, "Hey, I went to participate in the hunt purely to have a good time, and I didn't really want to get a ranking, so come to practice now, at least the horseback riding won't fall down, so as not to be embarrassed." ”
The third princess chuckled and said, "You, you're just lazy, if I'm not mistaken, you used to be very good at riding horses, so let's just say that my fourth brother is not your opponent." ”
"What? Why did it get on me? I'm just not practicing well, if I practice hard, I'm sure something will happen to Sister Xue'er. ”
Wang Xue also nodded with a smile and echoed: "What the fourth brother said is, at my level, where can I get on the table, it's okay to play around." ”
A few people were talking and laughing, and the Seventh Prince suddenly asked: "Sister Xue'er, I heard that the third sister said that you were assassinated in Baihuayuan yesterday and almost died, I don't know if it's true?" ”
"Seventh brother, you don't believe what I said." The third princess said helplessly.
Wang Yanqi smiled, "It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to confirm it again, and then see if I need help." ”
The third princess wrinkled her nose, but didn't say anything more.
Wang Xue looked at Wang Yanqi, revealing an expression of the rest of her life, "Of course it's true, you didn't know about Seventh Brother yesterday, it was so dangerous, I almost died under the arrow, at that time I saw an arrow shooting at me, fortunately, I reacted fast enough to dodge, but my arm was still injured." ”
"yes, look at my memory." The third princess came to Wang Xue's side, grabbed her hand and asked, "Which arm are you injured?" Show me. ”
Wang Xue raised her left arm, "Oh, this is it, the arrow of that arrow grazed my arm at that time, you don't know, I was scared stupid at the time, unconscious, and then I came to my senses and almost didn't give me a painful death." Wang Xue exaggerated the thrilling scene that night.
Wang Yanqi always had a gentle smile on his face, even after listening to Wang Xue's description, he still asked with a smile: "Then have you seen the face of the murderer who assassinated you?" If you see it, I can help you look it up. ”
Wang Xue shook her head, "I didn't see it, the sun was going down at that time, where can I see it clearly, and the situation at that time allowed me to think more about who the murderer was, I would be grateful if I could dodge that arrow, if I hadn't just seen that arrow shooting at me, now I'm afraid what you see is my corpse." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, aren't you living a good life?" The third princess hurriedly pulled Wang Xue's hand and asked her not to say these bad things.
Wang Xue smiled and closed her mouth.
But soon she looked at Wang Yanqi again, and asked casually: "Seventh brother, how do you care about this matter, is it?"
Wang Yanqi's brows furrowed obviously.
Wang Xue gasped and said, "Seventh brother, do you really want to help me find the murderer!" ”
Wang Yanqi's stiff eyebrows stretched out, and he smiled gently, "Of course, after all, this is what happened in the capital, and the injured person is still the dignified county lord, no matter how you say it, it is not easy to do it casually, there should always be an explanation." ”
Wang Xue smiled, "Thank you Seventh Brother, but I don't want to check it either, first, it's very troublesome, I'm afraid of trouble, and second, I'm not really dead anyway, so be it, and my father said that he will send more people to follow me to protect me in the future, so I won't have to worry when I go out." ”
Wang Yanqi smiled slightly, "That's fine." ”
Wang Xue looked at his face and said in her heart, "Do you know what the old lady said to you?"
I hope you won't provoke me again in the future, otherwise my mother will really not be used to you.
"Okay, let's keep talking, Cher, I'll ride with you." With that, the third princess took Wang Xue's hand and walked out of the pergola.
"Son, you are here obediently, my mother will go to practice horse riding, and I will be back soon."
"Well, mother, go ahead." Xiao Tuanzi nodded very obediently, but he didn't forget to stuff two grapes in his mouth.
amused the two princes with laughter.
After the two of them walked out of the pergola, the third princess couldn't help but whisper: "Xue'er, did you also find out?" ”
"Found what?" Wang Xue was puzzled.
"Seventh brother, he doesn't care about anything on weekdays, and he doesn't ask anything, but today I don't know what's wrong, it's really strange that he is suddenly so curious about your affairs."
Wang Xue was slightly stunned, then smiled, and said casually: "Maybe the Seventh Emperor Brother suddenly opened his mind." ”
