Chapter 91: Interlocking
It wasn't until this moment that the fourth princess understood, why Xiao Wenjun suddenly said that inexplicable thing, she was obviously very powerful, but she said that she was not skilled. It turned out to remind himself that he was tricked by Yu Wenyao.
"Whoosh!" The first arrow missed, and the fourth princess's hands trembled.
"Whoosh!" The second arrow grazed Xiao Wenjun's left cheek, cutting a trace of blood.
Xiao Wenjun was unconscious, and he didn't wipe the bloodstains.
Yu Wenyao stared at the red gaze and froze.
"Whoosh!" The third arrow hit the target, the arrow inserted half an inch into the apple, and the incense stick went out.
"Hit! Hit! The little eunuch shouted excitedly, and his shrill voice pierced the night sky. Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and there was a burst of applause without the emperor's reminder.
"Fourth princess, you won." Xiao Wenjun wiped his face with his sleeve and said loudly.
"Yes...... Obviously, your archery skills are higher. The fourth princess is really convinced this time, she admires the strong the most, Xiao Wenjun is such a dazzling woman, she has seen it for the first time.
"It doesn't matter your face, does it? I didn't mean to, I have the best medicine here, and it definitely won't leave a scar. ”
"But the lord's arrow is not on the apple." Xiao Wenjun pointed to the pulp that was broken into the ground and the three arrows scattered on the lawn, "This little injury is not in the way." ”
"Thank you...... Be merciful to my men. The fourth princess lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito, "But why are you lying to me?" Scare the hell out of me! ”
"The fourth princess has misunderstood, I have done my best." Xiao Wenjun's tone was indifferent, "Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, so they will have a deep memory, isn't it?" ”
"You ......" The good impression that the fourth princess had just raised was extinguished by Xiao Wenjun's cold attitude.
Only the emperor could see that Xiao Wenjun had restrained his momentum and saved face for the royal family, which was just a small lesson to the fourth princess. If he really went to the battlefield, Xiao Wenjun would be the indomitable female general.
However, the performance of the four princesses today, although reluctant, can be regarded as a competitive spirit, under the pressure of Xiao Wenjun's momentum, at least they can support the completion of the game.
"In this competition, the four princesses won, and they will be rewarded with a silver bow for the falling moon."
The pale little face of the fourth princess suddenly became bright, and her father did not blame her, but also rewarded her with the falling moon silver bow that she had begged for a long time but could not get, and suddenly forgot what she had just eaten, and said with joy.
"Thank you for your father's reward, and your sons will definitely remember today's competition and make good use of this bow."
"As for the county lord of Lanling, his archery skills are superb, which is eye-opening, and the punishment for losing will be avoided." The emperor looked at Xiao Wenjun with heavy eyes, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes that even the queen couldn't understand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Xiao Wenjun knelt down on one knee and saluted with his fists clenched. Feeling the gaze above her head, she was not afraid at all, and her voice was unwavering.
The emperor retracted his gaze and did not say much about Xiao Wenjun's manly etiquette.
Pick it up high and put it down gently, maybe it's also the emperor's mental technique?
Xiao Wenjun has no opinion on this, she didn't plan to win, not only saved the royal face, but also did not insult the Xiao family's style, barely the best of both worlds. Yu Wenyao is really ruthless, provoking her relationship with the royal family.
However, even if he really offended the fourth princess, with the emperor's performance just now, it would not be good, this kind of injury is not fundamental, his methods should be more than that, seeing the fake heavenly master today reminded her of a past incident, it seems that the good show is still to come.
Because of this wonderful and exciting competition, the emperor's interest seemed to be better, and the banquet naturally entered a climax.
When the group returned to the Taihe Palace, the singing and dancing were leveled and staggered.
Xiao Wenjun felt a little bad, as soon as he sat down, he felt a little black in front of his eyes, his mind was dizzy, and his left cheek began to go numb. Reaching out and touching the left side of his face, the shallow wound has scabbed over, and the arrow is poisonous?
She carefully recalled what happened after she was hit by the arrow, but she didn't find anything abnormal, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she wiped the blood on her face with her sleeve, is it a problem with clothes? I raised my sleeve and smelled it, and the aroma on it was the incense burner that was inspected in the carriage in the spring and summer.
Take a closer look, the clothes were stained with some powdered incense ash, Yu Wenyao guessed that he would check the incense burner, the incense ash was stained at that time, but it was fine after smelling it for so long, and the incense ash encountered blood before he made himself abnormal, no, not blood.
The poison in this ash is aimed at the wound!
What a Yuwen Yao! Interlocking, I really underestimate you!
After figuring out all the joints, Xiao Wenjun only felt that his consciousness was becoming less and less conscious at the moment, no, he must not fall down at this moment!
She bit the tip of her tongue hard, trying to search the memory in her brain, Yun Yilan had given herself a lot of strange medicines, maybe there was an antidote to the symptoms......
Yu Wenyao, who had been observing Xiao Wenjun, saw that her eyes were confused, and she shook her head.
The curvature of the corners of his mouth and the smugness in his eyes all indicate the master's mood at the moment, she has finally been tricked! It is not in vain that he would rather offend Concubine Yang than pull her into the trap.
"Father, today I saw the sassy and heroic appearance of the county lord of Lanling, and I understood your hard work and love for your sons. Erchen respects you, the dragon is healthy and blessed! ”
"Good! I am very relieved. The emperor laughed, looking slightly drunk, raised his wine glass and looked at Xiao Wenjun and said, "Lord Lanling, drink this cup with me and the emperor." ”
At this moment, Xiao Wenjun was already stiff from his left cheek to his arm, and when he heard the emperor's loud voice, his drowsy head had a moment of clarity, and he stood up mechanically, and the little palace maid behind him stepped forward obediently and poured her full wine.
Xiao Wenjun inadvertently turned his face, and found that the palace maid's hand holding the wine pot was trembling slightly, and looked up along her hand, the palace maid lowered her eyebrows, but she avoided her gaze and did not dare to look at herself.
Seeing this strangeness, Xiao Wenjun was puzzled, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Guo Concubine, but he happened to catch her gaze that she hadn't had time to retract, Guo Concubine looked at the wine in her glass, hiding a trace of imperceptible excitement.
Xiao Wenjun couldn't help but sneer, Yu Wenyao really took great pains to harm himself, one insurance is not enough, and he can rest assured that two are enough? The trap was in effect from the moment she stepped into the carriage.
But I always come prepared!
These small actions seem to have passed for a long time, but in fact they are only in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Wenjun raised his glass with a smile, "I wish Your Majesty the dragon good health, and the peace of the Great Qi country!" ”
After that, Xiao Wenjun drank it all!
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Yu Wenyao was also dry, and Concubine Guo was so excited that her face turned red, staring at her eyes like a wolf's greedy ghost.
A glass of wine went down, but Xiao Wenjun couldn't stand on his feet anymore, he shook a few steps, and the palace maid behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the strength of his whole body was pressed on the palace maid, so that he could sit firmly on the mat.
Concubine Guo stepped forward eagerly and asked, "Lord Lanling, but you can't drink enough and get drunk?" ”
