Since he was a child, he followed Song Lao to shoot archery and hunt, and Ye Lingwu had points in his heart. If you want to shoot it intact, you can only hit the wooden bottom of the lantern, if it is crooked, the papier-mâché lantern will be considered useless.

Ye Lingwu pulled out his bow and arrow, and then raised his body, and the arrow was aimed at the wish lamp on the high platform.

Only then did everyone below notice Ye Lingwu, who had drawn his bow and arrows on the stage, and the discussion suddenly became even louder.

Zhao heard the commotion coming from here, thinking that the fireworks festival hadn't started before it started anyway, so he proposed to Qin Mingyu to take a look.

When the group came, they happened to see Ye Lingwu weighing the weight of the bow and arrow on the stage, which was so vivid that they had never seen it on weekdays, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Isn't that a girl Ling'er, she can also shoot arrows?!" Shen Chongwen's reaction was more of a surprise.

Ningbei Hou Mansion is the home of military generals, not to mention Shen Zhan, Shen Paner and Shen Ci's horseback riding and archery kung fu are considered to be the best among the juniors in the capital, although Shen Yue'er is not as good as them, but she has also grown up with a sword since she was a child.

Zhao glanced at Qin Mingyu, whose eyes were dark, and then looked towards the high platform and said, "Ling'er's posture of holding an arrow and drawing a bow is standard, and it is smooth, and it has the spirit of beating a man." ”

A sneer suddenly came from the side, and a few people looked for the sound, and saw Shen Ci with a disdainful expression: "She hasn't shot yet, why does my mother praise her so much, if she doesn't shoot, wouldn't it be a shame to lose your 'high-spirited', which will only add some embarrassment?" ”

Zhao glanced at him with disgust and said, "It's not ambiguous that you sing against me, if you have the courage to go up and fight, your mother and I will praise you like this." ”

A monstrous commotion swept in like a tidal wave.

I saw a long arrow tearing through the night and shooting towards the sky, and everyone's eyes were focused on the wishing lamp, waiting with bated breath.

The men who kept climbing towards the high place felt the wind blowing overhead, and looked up, and the lantern that should have been stable on the high platform fell straight to the ground!

- "Good! ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, breaking the silence in an instant.

Thunderous applause rang out from below.

Ye Lingwu smiled, looked at the shopkeeper innocently like a child, and said, "I shot!" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the reaction below, picked up the wish lamp on the ground, handed it to Ye Lingwu with both hands, and said, "The girl is very good at archery, this wish lamp is yours!" ”

I was happy here, I worked hard there, and in the end, the hearts of the boys who were like being played with began to be unhappy, but they didn't have a seizure, probably because the girl was really beautiful and difficult to speak.

Ye Lingwu took the wish lamp and stepped down, and everyone also scattered away, she was about to walk with the crowd, not wanting a familiar voice to suddenly come from behind.

"Ling'er!"

Ye Lingwu paused, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the Zhao family, of course, in addition to her, Qin Mingyu, Shen Chongwen, Shen Ci, Shen Yue'er, and several female envoys in the palace were there.

- When did they arrive?

With doubts, Ye Lingwu stepped forward with the wish lamp and saluted: "I have seen the eldest princess, Second Uncle Shen, Second Uncle Shen. ”

Qin Mingyu was silent with a straight face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhao pulled Ye Lingwu affectionately and kindly, and said with a smile: "I didn't see you when I turned around, but you came here, your archery skills are good, who taught you?" ”

Among the favorite elders of the Ningbei Hou Mansion, the Zhao family can be regarded as the top three, she talks elegantly and is as angry as an orchid, and she never feels the pressure from the elders when she gets along with her.

Ye Lingwu smiled lightly: "Second uncle Miao Zan, archery kung fu was taught by my grandfather, I had only beaten pheasants and hare before, but I never thought that I could really shoot down with one arrow." ”

There was a "sigh" behind him, Shen Ci half-squinted his fox eyes, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth always made people feel that it was a bad smile, "My cousin is really bold, and she is not afraid of being ugly in front of so many people after she misses." ”

Ye Lingwu glanced at Shen Ci, secretly disdainful in his heart, but replied glutinously on the surface: "Shen Ergongzi is wrong, it doesn't matter if you are ugly or not, it is important that you wish to be able to make your wishes come true." ”

Shen Ci pursed his mouth, and secretly slandered himself: naïve.

Zhao also wanted to say a few words to Ye Lingwu, but Qin Mingyu interrupted: "Okay, let's go to Huamanlou, and then the fireworks festival will begin." ”

The more you go to Huamanlou, the more lantern styles there are, Shen Yue'er and Ye Lingwu are already walking slowly, walking side by side at the end of the line, with a small servant to take care of, and the two-room couple who walked in front is also relieved.

The crowd of people on Xuanwu Long Street slowly flowed towards the Huamanlou, Yue Yang looked at Shen Zhan, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Young master, are we going to Suzaku Long Street to make an appointment with the little county lord?" ”

Shen Zhan looked at the purple in the crowd and said, "I'm not going." ”

Yue Yang said in a daze: "Not going?" Are we going back to the barracks now? ”

Shen Zhan glanced at him coldly, walked down, and said, "Go to the flower building." ”

Huamanlou is the largest observation deck in the capital, and when the festival arrives every year, fireworks and firecrackers will always be set off in the city to end the lively.

Before the lantern was put off, Ye Lingwu borrowed a fire fold from the little girl, then found a bridge with few people alone, lit the candle in the lantern, and carefully put the lantern into the river.

Watching it drift away, I immediately clasped my hands together.

I sincerely make a wish: I hope that my grandfather and Mrs. Shen can live a safe and healthy life, and I hope that my life in the Hou Mansion will be smooth.

Ye Lingwu slowly opened his eyes, at this time, the lamp drifted along the river and was almost unable to see clearly, watching the bright light drift into the distance, his heart was inexplicably settled a lot.

“…… What wish did you make? ”

A cold and low male voice suddenly came from behind, Ye Lingwu quickly turned around, and saw Shen Zhan standing five steps away from her, dressed in an ink-colored coat, with mink fur on his shoulders, and his long hair tied up by the golden crown was blown by the cold wind.

Yue Yang, who was behind him, beckoned to her lightly and said hello secretly.

Ye Lingwu relieved himself for a while, and said with his head bowed: "Back to Master Hou's words, if you say it, your wish will not come true." ”

In fact, Shen Zhan wasn't really curious, but he just saw Ye Lingwu staring at the river and found a reason to interrupt.

Shen Zhan didn't care about Ye Lingwu's response, what he cared about was that every time the girl in front of him saw him, it was so obvious that she couldn't be more obviously alienated.

Shen Zhan frowned, was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "When my mother asked you to call me 'big brother' that day, you called me very fast, why do you call me Hou Ye now?" ”

Ye Lingwu pursed her lips.

The "big brother" in the dream was very scared.

After a long time, she replied: "Master Hou's status is noble, I am just a little girl from Yuzhou, the status is very different, how can I have such a big face to call you my brother." ”

Having said that, Ye Lingwu's face did not have a look of self-pity for his identity, which could be seen by a person, and what she said was just prevaricating Shen Zhan.

After many years of wandering in the court, Shen Zhan can see it clearly, but the more he knows, the more puzzled he becomes.

He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Ningbei, and now he is the general of the Zhu Kingdom, how many people want to get close to him, but only Ye Lingwu only thinks about keeping a distance from him.

Shen Zhan glanced up at the bustle of the upstairs, then looked at her who was lowering her head and lowered her eyebrows, and said, "The fireworks festival should also start, do you want to go with your cousin?" ”

Ye Lingwu was silent, if he really wanted to appear with him, he would definitely be told again, so he simply said: "Master Hou go first, I suddenly want to eat the sesame candy from the stall over there, and I want to buy some and then go over." ”

The atmosphere was extremely cold, Yue Yang couldn't help but shiver, and said with a dry smile: "Young master, this hour is coming soon, let's hurry up." ”

Shen Zhan was silent and turned to leave.
