Chapter 8: Flooded

Soon it was time for the hunting festival three days later.

The palace people hurriedly set up tents and arranged for food in various places.

Only Dongyu stood on the polo field outside the hunting ground, looking at the horse's hooves flying not far away, flashing a trace of yearning.

While directing the palace people to work, Gonggong Zhang turned his head and told the Oriental language.

"The third prince ordered in advance to let you serve the left and right, and you don't have to worry about the rest, you just have to serve this lord well. Speaking of our third prince, although he was not born high, he was the prince who was crowned a prince at the age of six, which is a good branch. Brother Dong, you have to do your best not to lose face in our family. ”

"Dongyu will never forget the teachings of Grandpa Zhang's past."

Dongyu bowed his head and saluted, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Even the eunuchs who cleaned the cold palace knew that Mu Jingyan, the prince, was just to appease Concubine Mei's indebtedness for abandoning him after she died.

Concubine Mei came over from the Warring States Period, and now that the Warring States Period is long gone, Mu Jingyan can't make it into a climate without backstage support, what kind of high branch is it.

Father-in-law Zhang happily bent down to help Dongyu, just put his hand on her wrist, suddenly clenched and whispered: "For the sake of the friendship with Mama Su in the past, our family will ask you again." Since you have the intention of fighting for wealth and nobility, why don't you choose the crown prince or the second prince......"

After a pause in his heart, Dongyu calmly replied: "Dongyu is not for wealth, but for repaying gratitude." ”

"You ......"

"What are you talking about?"

As he spoke, the man's voice startled Father-in-law Zhang and hurriedly let go.

Dongyu looked up and saw Mu Jingyan in a purple robe with sleeves up, full of green silk and hairbands of the same color, and his sideburns were like knives, which made this outfit even more imposing.

At this time, the negative hand stood behind him, and a pair of eyes were like a deep pool and could not see the bottom.

The hearts of those who watched trembled.

"The slave is instructing Xiao Dongzi to serve wholeheartedly, and the mistakes in the hall a few days ago must not happen again."

Father-in-law Zhang explained in a panic, and for a while he couldn't figure out when Mu Jingyan was standing behind him and how much he heard.

"Oh?"

Mu Jingyan raised his eyebrows, raised his chin slightly to look at Dongyu, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be sneering: "You need to hold hands to say this?" ”

Thinking that Mu Jingyan was particularly disgusted with eunuchs, Dongyu smiled lightly and did not panic at all: "Gonggong Zhang knows that Dongyu has an injury to his wrist, and he is afraid that it will affect serving you, so he gave a few extra words." Fang Cai is looking at the injury. ”

Speaking in Dongyu, he took the initiative to roll up his cuffs, revealing his arms, which were already half healed.

Mu Jingyan took a deep look at her, turned around and walked towards the shooting range.

Dongyu hesitated for a moment, hurriedly saluted to Gonggong Zhang and followed.

Mu Jingyan, who had just stood behind him and was holding an arrow feather in his hand, suddenly raised his chin: "You, go over." ”

Dongyu was stunned for a while, and didn't react for a while to what Mu Jingyan wanted her to do.

"Once your wrist is ready, you can throw the target."

Throwing targets is a way that the Mu family has been playing since the grassland.

A man throws a target into the air, and the man with the bow hits the target in the air.

After Dongyu calmed down, she knew that Mu Jingyan was deliberately embarrassing her.

However, throwing the target ...... It's nothing more than laborious work.

Raising his lips and smiling, Dongyu saluted calmly: "Yes." ”

The bullseye used by Mu Jingyan is not like the fruit or copper coins that he has always seen.

It was a round clay porcelain vase.

Dongyu hesitated for a moment, then bent down to pick it up...... Suddenly, he took a sharp breath.

It's so heavy.

Condensed a breath, Dongyu threw it hard.

As soon as he reached mid-air, there was a bang, and the arrow feather hit the center of the porcelain bottle, and it directly smashed the porcelain bottle.

Without waiting for Dongyu to react, the water that split his head and face was sprinkled from the air, and Dongyu froze in place.

No wonder the bottle was so heavy that it was filled with water......

This man......

Dongyu furrowed his eyebrows and turned his head.

Seeing that the bowstring in Mu Jingyan's hand was still trembling, the sneer overflowing from the corner of his mouth was full of playfulness.

Re-align the bow and pull the string: "Hold it again." To be higher. ”

Clenched his fists, Dongyu gritted his teeth and continued to pick it up, throwing it hard.

The targets on the ground were all shattered, and Dongyu gasped for breath, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

I was soaked all over, as if I had been fished out of water, and I couldn't tell whether it was water or sweat.

"The third prince, if you are not happy, the slave will go and get another target."

Obviously tired, his face was pale, but he was not impatient or dissatisfied at all, and he saluted with no good respect and stability.

Mu Jingyan stared silently at the light in Dongyu's eyes that shone like water.

Inexplicably remembered the way Dongyu knelt down in disheveled clothes and begged him for help that day, and it was the stubbornness and brightness in these eyes that saved her life.

"You ......"

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

The crown prince approached with a group of people, "Third brother, my father is still asking why you didn't go to play polo, because you were hiding here to practice archery." ”

Passing by Dongyu's side, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Such a delicate little eunuch, if he wasn't wearing a eunuch's palace clothes, this prince would still be a palace maid." ”
