In addition to the royal family, the king of Nanyang County also invited the children of the Jingzhao Shiwang family to eighteen and have not been ordained, compared to the "big shooting" held by the Son of Heaven in the shooting palace over the years, it is naturally not grand, but there are also prepared to play music and a round rake made of deerskin "Elk", and set up a fence, which is to prevent the arrow from falling off the rake and accidentally injuring the audience.

This is slightly different from the activities such as "shooting chrysanthemums" used for self-entertainment during the Chung Yeung Festival, a noble house, to show the prestige of the royal shooting ceremony routinely performed by the Empress Dowager.

Because there is no Son of Heaven to shoot, the music of "Su Yu" is not played, and after the king of Nanyang County and the auxiliary government of the Zongzheng Hall such as Ruyang and Yichuan are drinking, they will directly play "The Head of the Raccoon", at this time, the noblewomen and ladies in the west side of the stand also temporarily stopped laughing, and watched attentively at the shooting of several county kings on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Today's palace does not have a post to invite female dependents, so in addition to the noblewomen and daughters of the clan in the stands, many of them are the daughters of the in-laws of the Nanyang Palace, if you talk about outsiders, there are only about Eleven Niang, Liu Jiuniang and Xie Ying, but compared with those idle clans that are not close to the Nanyang Palace, Eleven Niang is closer to the Nanyang Princess, let her sit next to Yingyang Zhenren, no one will be an irrelevant outsider.

Princess Nanyang is naturally the first to take the throne, before the earlier shooting salute did not begin, there were many relatives and friends around her, those flattering and flattering auspicious words listened to the ears, at this time because everyone sat down, but felt a lot quieter, the corners of the lips with a more sincere heartfelt pleasure and relaxation, when the three auxiliary kings each shot four arrows, after hearing the results of "all in", with the thunder of joy on the north side of the stands, when the music was suspended, she took the lead in raising the wine cup: "It is not a big shooting ceremony, otherwise we will not have the opportunity to watch, everyone does not need to be too formal." , just laugh as usual. ”

With the words of Princess Nanyang, the atmosphere in the women's stand was lively again, and Princess Ruyang first praised: "Uncle Nanyang is really old and strong, and his archery skills are still so accurate, and the younger generations should be admired." ”

Xiao Wei was "cured" by Yichuan yesterday, and today she is also in good spirits to attend, but she has always been not as good at dancing as Princess Ruyang, and she does not flatter the king of Nanyang County, but satirizes the king of Ruyang: "It is said that Ruyang is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, but I didn't expect that today it is accurate, or Ruyang has a clumsy intention in the past, if not, it makes people suspect that it is a false report by the praiser." ”

Princess Ruyang's expression did not change: "Although the grandson does not like to dance with swords and swords, but as a child of the clan, at least the riding and shooting have not been desolate, and since the uncle is both civil and military, the grandson knows that he can't fall too much, and in the past year, he has worked extra hard to improve his martial arts, and it is also for the sake of the royal family's face." ”

Princess Nanyang has always ignored the harmless verbal disputes of the younger generations, and at this time, she should only ignore Xiao Wei's intentions, and laughed: "Lotus pond is like this, there is only her family Yichuan in her heart, and she heard that Tongyu did not praise her uncle, in order to avoid fighting for Yichuan, Lianchi, the old body is going to intercede for Tongyu, she is because of filial piety, she praises her uncle first." ”

Xiao Wei made this joke, but his age was as red as a little girl, and he responded with a twist and pinch: "I just said a joke, my uncle made such a joke, but it made the concubine embarrassed." ”

While speaking, the music resumed, and then the next person was present in addition to the three auxiliary kings, the noble King of Jin, His Royal Highness, because of his notoriety, the nobles easily did not dare to invite to the banquet, many children of the family have only heard that the King of Jin Ye is good at riding and shooting, and has no chance to personally understand the teaching, as for many ladies, there is no chance to witness the King of Jin show martial arts, so with this fierce god swaggering along with the music to stand still, everyone is silent, lest the loud voice disturb the King of Jin's hand slip, and let the arrows take off the rake in front of everyone's eyes, When he gets angry, he may draw arrows at people, and the fence may not be able to stop them!

Although the princess of Nanyang is old, she is healthy, healthy, deaf and bright, and although there is some distance from the arrow field, she can still see the arrow rake clearly from the corner of her eyes.

She had also heard that He Ye seemed to like to bow very much, and he was also a little brave, a whip made many people afraid of fear, but she couldn't tell whether He Ye's archery technique was as accurate as the long whip in his hand, until as the music gradually intensified, seeing He Ye's long arm pulling the bow, it was actually two arrows fired at the same time, and pierced the rake at the same time, so she sighed, but her eyes subconsciously shook over Eleven Niang.

This girl ran away, and she didn't know what to say to Yingyang Zhenren in a low voice, Yingyang Zhenren was also full of smiles, and didn't pay attention to the wonderful archery technique that caused all the participants to gasp.

Although the ladies present were also amazed, most of them were in awe, only Liu Jiuniang and Xie Ying, who attended unexpectedly, one high-fived and the other was out of the body, but they were not afraid to retreat.

Of course, He Ye didn't look sideways because of Jiu Niang's claim, but saw him pulling the bow and buckle the string as if no one was around, and he shot in a row but had a total of eight arrows, and finally stopped, returned to his seat without blushing and panting, and drank by himself with a cold face, as if he hadn't heard that when the praiser announced "all the arrows were won", an exclamation erupted in the stands on both sides.

Princess Nanyang couldn't help but secretly wonder: Although Jin Wangye abandoned culture and education, he was really good at riding and shooting, and when he was not willful, he looked calm and calm, but he was too cold and arrogant, and he had a violent reputation, which would make people feel afraid, especially the beautiful daughters.

She couldn't help but glance at Eleven Niang again, and sighed secretly in her heart.

It turned out that the king of Nanyang County saw that the king of Jin was getting older, but the queen mother still had no intention of choosing a concubine for him, as Zong Zhengqing, and also the dying trust of Dezong, the king of Nanyang naturally could not sit idly by, not long ago took the initiative to propose the marriage of the king of Jin to the queen mother, but the queen mother said: "For Ye'er's marriage, I have also been troubled for a long time, Emperor Dezong once also instructed, Ye'er is the prince, and the princess should be the daughter of the prestige, but Ye'er's temperament makes the prestige family very jealous, and the daughters of the boudoir are also afraid of him, I'm worried that if I choose a cowardly person for him, one will be disgusted and the other will be afraid between husband and wife in the future, and it will be difficult to get along. Over the years, it seems that only Xie's lady and Liu Shiniang are relatively suitable. ”

King Nanyang naturally knew the queen mother's plan, where was the plan for He Ye's future husband and wife harmony, but it was just to let the cronies supervise on the side and strengthen the vigilance of the King of Jin.

But as long as He Ye can grow up peacefully and smoothly get married and have children, King Nanyang will complete his mission and live up to Dezong's deathbed trust.

The king of Nanyang didn't know the beautiful temperament of the Xie family, but because of his daughter Yingyang, he was familiar with Eleven Niang, of course, he would be biased towards Eleven Niang, but he was very annoyed by He Ye's stubborn temperament, but he was afraid that he didn't like Eleven Niang to be too quiet and steady, so today, he deliberately gave He Ye and Eleven Niang more opportunities to get along, so he deliberately let He Ye be a "messenger".

Although this matter should not be publicized before the formal marriage, the king of Nanyang did not hide it from his old wife, but the princess of Nanyang has other ideas, it turns out that the youngest grandson of the princess is only two years old than Eleven Niang, and has not yet been married. is also a generation behind her great-grandson, and Princess Nanyang is thinking about asking for her grandson to marry.

I don't want to, but I was remembered by the Queen Mother first!

The princess knew that a major event in her husband's heart was the marriage of the King of Jin, although she felt sorry, but it was not easy to compete with the King of Jin, at this time, seeing that Xie Ying seemed to be interested in the King of Jin, Eleven Niang was obviously ignorant, and she was a little lucky: The Queen Mother seems to be more trusting to the Xie family, if the daughter of the Xie family is finally chosen for the King of Jin, her grandson may not have no chance.

As soon as this mind moved, he paid special attention to Xie Ying, and simply found an excuse and called someone to his side.

Xie Ying also knows the importance of Nanyang Palace, unlike those idle clans, if she can get the favor of Princess Nanyang, it will not be beneficial to her in the future, but she also guards against Princess Nanyang's sudden attention is another purpose, she has also heard that Princess Nanyang has a little grandson who is unmarried, and even has a great-grandson who is the same year as her, her grandmother and mother seem to have secretly calculated whether there is a chance to marry with Nanyang Palace, this matter must be cautious, although Nanyang King is Zong Zhengqing, but he is just a county king, not to mention any grandchildren and great-grandchildren, In the future, I am afraid that I will not even be able to hold a title, how can I be more powerful than the throne?

Therefore, although Xie Ying was flattered by the princess's concern, and answered all the questions with witty words, she seized the opportunity to praise the exquisite archery skills of His Royal Highness King Jin several times, showing her admiration for He Ye.

But I didn't know that her words and deeds caused many noblewomen to look sideways, and they were all secretly thinking: I really can't imagine that Xie Xianggong, the granddaughter of his own family, appreciates the living Yama King who is afraid of all the nobles, could it be that the Queen Mother has already hinted that this has already regarded herself as the princess of the future Jin?

Even Yingyang Zhenren paid attention to Xie Ying several times.

After He Zhan finished the salute, Eleven Niang asked for the real person's permission in a low voice: "Eleven has not seen Xiao Zhao for a long time, and I have the intention to test his literature, so I want to ask Brother Fourteen and Brother Xue to lead Xiao Zhao to sit in the back garden." ”
