Chapter 154: Serve the Emperor Well
But her method really worked well for him.
Men can't say no!
Not to mention that he is powerless!
Xiao Yan twisted the tea left on his fingertips, and after getting up, he said: "Since the emperor wants to see it, Weichen will be ugly in front of the emperor." β
"Hmmm! Taifu hurry up, what you offer is not ugly, it is beautiful! β
ββ¦β¦β
sycophant, after becoming the emperor, he didn't forget to pat his ass.
Zhong Xuan handed the sky to Xiao Yan.
Holding it in the sky, there is a feeling of heaviness and lightness, soft and strong, very handy.
The soldier handed a basket of feather arrows to Zhong Xuan, and everyone held their breath to see how this veteran of the two dynasties, a generation of emperors, would make a fool of himself!
Meng Qing was full of confidence in him, and couldn't wait to see him show his strength.
Xiao Yan bypassed the table, walked down the steps unhurriedly, and stepped on the green lawn, with a very stable lower plate and a long posture.
"No, how do I think the emperor seems to be really good at archery?"
"You don't understand this, do you? Although the emperor is a literati, he also knows what it means to be majestic and high-spirited, even if he can't shoot arrows, he has to make a look like he can shoot arrows, which surprises others! β
"Ouch, Brother Zeng! It seems that you know the literati very well! In the future, I will learn a thing or two from you. β
"Hahaha! Prizes have been awarded! β
Meng Qing rolled his eyes silently.
What is majestic and high-spirited, is Xiao Yan really good at archery, look at the next plate, it is really stable!
Thinking of this, Meng Qing suddenly found that he had thought of something that he shouldn't have thought about!
Suddenly, the jade porcelain doll-like face turned white and red.
Xiao Yan came to the center of the stage, a pair of phoenix eyes stared closely at the clouds hanging in the sky in the distance, and the rope that tied the clouds was only about the thickness of a finger.
If you shoot this, very few people will actually be able to shoot it.
Meng Qing sat up straight, his eyes condensed on the man's upright back.
He held a bow and arrows in his hand, and his feet slowly spread out, full of momentum.
Holding the bow arm in his left hand and the feather arrow in his right hand, he rests on the bowstring and slowly pulls the force away.
After the man concentrated, his eyes were locked on the thin rope, and the arrow was precise and could not tolerate the slightest deviation.
Just as everyone was sighing that Xiao Yan was able to pull this bow and arrow away, the feather arrow quickly galloped out of his hand with lightning speed.
The courtiers ordered the women to hold their breath and follow the feather arrows, thinking it was just a joke.
But the arrow inadvertently hit the string with the same accuracy, pierced through the rope, and settled on the lawn.
After the rope was shot, it almost broke and crumbled.
Shocked, Xiao Yan shot a second arrow, and the feather arrow quickly pierced through the sky and headed for a thinner rope.
In the blink of an eye, the cloud hanging high in the sky was instantly shot down, and with a "pop-" sound, it fell to the ground.
The crowd could hardly believe their eyes.
Is this still the Xiao Emperor they know? Is this still the weak scholar who is powerless?
No kidding?
Meng Qing had already predicted the result, and he was not surprised.
She immediately stood up and clapped her hands and applauded: "Taifu is really Taifu!" dissertation, Taifu can be the first in the court; In terms of martial arts, Taifu does not lose to any military general! β
Listening to the praise of the king of a country, these courtiers naturally reacted and appreciated it one after another.
"Emperor Xiao is really not a mortal! Not only is it a good article, but its martial arts are also a must! β
"Being able to write and martial arts is the blessing of my dynasty!"
Xiao Yan turned around silently and smiled: "The emperor has won the award, but the minister is just a little fur." β
"Fur? Where did Taifu's words put those gentlemen in the family? If you want me to say, Taifu deserves my praise! β
Gentlemen: "......"
Xiao Yan clenched his bow and arrows, walked through the admiration of everyone, and returned to the banquet to sit down.
He has never liked to join in the fun, and today it is for Meng Qing that he is willing to show his head.
Meng Qing's smile was like the autumn water of the spring river, and he threw himself at Xiao Yan.
A few hours passed, and someone finally returned.
Meng Zhiyan and He Yixuan returned with a full load, threw the prey they hunted to the ground heroically, and looked around proudly, but accidentally saw Gu Yinrou in the corner, and buried their faces shyly for a while.
He Yixuan was angry and looked at Meng Qing on the emperor's platform as if he was invited.
But Meng Qing didn't have him in his eyes.
After everyone returned, the eunuchs came one after another to count their prey.
In contrast, the winner was quickly determined.
Xiao Nanzi announced: "In this hunting competition, the winner is Meng Zhiyan, the son of King Yong! β
A crowd cheered.
"I guessed that it must be the son of the world! Ahhh His Royal Highness is so handsome! β
"It seems that the cloud-piercing arrow belongs to the prince, and it would be a happy thing to be able to marry the prince!"
Xiao Nanzi continued: "The second-class winner is He Yixuan, the captain of the Youmen Sect of the Forbidden Army! β
"Gongzi He is also not bad, he is a talent, and he is also a good candidate!"
"It's a pity, Gongzi He's family background is not as good as the prince'......"
is about to announce the top three, and this last place is doubly nervous.
Under everyone's expectations, Xiao Nanzi did not make any mistakes, so he shouted: "The winner of the top three is Qi Xiaohou Qi Yuan, the son of Wuyang Marquis!" β
"Qi Yuan? It turned out to be Qi Yuan? β
"It's a pity...... His fiancΓ©e used to be ......"
In the midst of the lamentations, Qi Yuan's gaze also became vicious, and Meng Qing had never seen him like this, but he didn't care much.
Meng Qing said: "Come on, give the color head." β
"Yes!"
There is no doubt that the bow and arrow piercing the clouds are Meng Zhiyan's, while the second class is a pair of woven gold unicorn embroidered knee pads, and the third class is a jade bracelet of Hetian jade.
After winning the lottery, the three of them saluted and thanked: "Weichen thanks the emperor for his honorββ"
β¦β¦
Night.
The smoke in the spring mountains is about to be harvested, and the sky is light and the stars are scarce.
After Meng Qing had eaten, she looked through the music in the tent by the light of the candlelight, even if she came to this place, she couldn't put down the government affairs.
"By the way, let Yin Qiu keep an eye on He Zhenning, but what's the news?"
The tossing and turning sound was a little noisy.
Lingyu said: "I'm staring, if there is any change, Lord Liang will send someone to report it." β
"That's good, let Gu Huai'an prepare with the people from Dali Temple."
"Yes."
Lingyu bowed down and went down.
Just lifted the heavy curtain, and faced Xiao Yan, who was just about to come in.
"Your Excellency."
Xiao Yan bowed slightly, and the two passed by.
Meng Qing, who heard the movement, raised his head, "Taifu? What are you doing here? Won't you go back to your tent at this hour to rest? β
Xiao Yan walked calmly, lifted his robe and sat opposite Meng Qing.
"Weichen said today, I want to come to serve the emperor well at night, could it be that the emperor has forgotten?"
He supported himself with one hand, and looked at the innocent Meng Qing with a bit of ambiguous lust in his eyes.
