Chapter 147 Concubine Ning's Assist

When Emperor Jianxi appeared alone at the gate of Xianfu Palace, Concubine Ning and all the palace people of Xianfu Palace were already standing in the yard waiting.

Perhaps it was because the person picking up the driver was too quiet, so the faint crying of the baby in the inner room could be heard intermittently.However, Emperor Jianxi turned a deaf ear to it and just went up to greet Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning led the crowd to salute, with a cold expression on her face.With Qu's absence today, Concubine Ning would not have those continuous witticisms.

The exchange of questions and answers between the two was so polite that it made people feel strange.

Emperor Jianxi coughed a few times and felt that it was meaningless, so he stopped forcing anything.

He looked away, and suddenly noticed a few straw targets on the west side of the front yard. He stepped forward to look at them with some appreciation in his eyes, "Are you still practicing bows and arrows now?"

"Your majesty was joking, and the concubines are still talking about exercises, and they are just used to pass the time when they are bored." Concubine Ning glanced at the target, and said softly, "After having A Tuo, there are very few such moments anymore. .”

"Bring a bow, I'll try it too." Emperor Jianxi laughed.The palace people looked at Concubine Ning hesitantly, Concubine Ning thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Just take that dragon tongue bow."

The palace people got the order, and not long after, they brought up an ordinary-looking recurve bow.

Emperor Jianxi squinted his eyes slightly to take it, and held it in his hand for a moment before he felt that the bow felt a little special.

The palace man on the other side knelt on the ground, holding up the quiver with both hands, and there were ten newly made feather arrows in it.

Emperor Jianxi took one out of it, and put it on the bow skillfully. He slightly closed one eye, and after aiming for a moment, he heard a "swipe" sound, and the feathered arrow had already landed on the red heart in the middle of the target.

Just as Qiu Shi was about to shout a few words of praise, Concubine Ning had already clapped her hands in praise and shouted sincerely, "Okay!"

"What is the material of this bow?" Emperor Jianxi touched the material of the bow carefully at this time, while kneading it, he muttered, "It looks like a horn bow, but it doesn't rebound as much as a horn bow when you pull it up...and it's also easy to hold it. Heavier than a normal hornbow."

At this moment, Concubine Ning showed a stingy smile.

"Your Majesty is right. The bow is indeed a horn bow, but it has been slightly improved. Because the horn bow is too strong, it is easy to hurt yourself, so the concubine not only put horns on the back of the bow, but also on the front. Apply a few layers of beef tendon, and then glue it with fish maw..."

Every time Concubine Ning said a word, she stretched out her hand and tapped the corresponding position on the crossbow, obviously she knew the subtleties of this bow very well.

Qiu Shi also listened silently from the sidelines, and he couldn't help feeling a lot of admiration in his heart when he saw Concubine Ning's courage to point out the country as a woman. He didn't dare to say that he could understand [-]% to [-]% of it, so he had to obediently watch from the sidelines in silence, not daring to praise rashly.

In order not to exaggerate what is wrong, but to annoy people.

"...In this way, it not only maintains the elasticity of the ordinary horn bow, but also won't be damaged by the rebound of the arrow after shooting, and it will be more durable than the ordinary horn bow." Ning Bin said. "That's right." Emperor Jianxi smiled, "I'll ask for this bow first, and show it to General Shen tomorrow."

"The Emperor wants to take it." Concubine Ning looked at the bow with a smile in her eyes, "It's better than leaving it here to eat ashes all the time."

Emperor Jianxi threw the bow to Qiu Shi, Qiu Shi hastily took it and held it in his arms. Emperor Jianxi had strode into the house with Concubine Ning.

I didn’t feel it when I was in the outer courtyard just now, but as soon as I entered the room, A Tuo’s crying sounded like a magic sound, and even Emperor Jianxi couldn’t help frowning, “What’s the matter, is it hungry or not feeling well? ?”

"I didn't sleep well last night." Concubine Ning sighed, and then she spoke with a bit haggard, "I vomited some accumulated food again this morning, and I went to the imperial doctor to see that there was nothing serious, but it didn't improve either. "

Emperor Jianxi moved closer, stroking A Tuo's face with a slightly stiff movement.The last time he saw the child was probably more than a month ago, when he happened to meet Concubine Ning who was walking with A Tuo in his arms, so Dang even enjoyed some food and toys, originally wanting to take a look at it later, but turned around and told the matter to him forget.

This child's nose and eyes are a bit like a concubine's, and his mouth is like himself.I didn't feel it when I was just born, but now that my facial features have grown a little, I have already shown a somewhat cute posture.

However, A Tuo completely ignored his father's touch, and still cried heart-piercingly.

"Let's find a few more imperial doctors." Emperor Jianxi turned around and said to Qiu Shi.

"There's no need to look for it anymore." Concubine Ning's face was slightly cold, and her voice was even more resolute, "This group of old useless concubines don't count on it anymore. If the emperor really loves A Tuo, he can help the concubine and invite someone to come."

Emperor Jianxi glanced at Concubine Ning gloomyly.

It turned out that Bo Ling wanted him to come to Chengqian Palace and was waiting here.

"Who?" Emperor Jianxi asked knowingly.

"Bo Shijun's son, Bai Yi."

really.

Emperor Jianxi's heart twitched, but his face was still covered with frost, "This Bai Yi has only been in the imperial hospital for a long time, and he knows what to treat."

Concubine Ning frowned and walked to A Tuo's wooden bed, and touched A Tuo's forehead distressedly, "I don't know what to cure or not, I only know that he has the ability to take care of children. It turned out that A Tuo couldn't stop crying When it's time, he can just coax it, and the women in my palace have all seen this matter with their own eyes, so you can ask the emperor if you don't believe me."

Emperor Jianxi frowned, he looked at Concubine Ning, and pondered for a moment, "Since Concubine Ning said so, I'll just believe it and tell Bai Yi to come over, and I'd like to see what he can do."

"... Your Majesty." Qiu Shi dared to interject at this moment, "This...for a while, Bai Yi might not be able to make it through."

Emperor Jianxi looked at Qiu Shi, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened.

"That Bai Yi is in the poison prison right now, and the previous one was arrested by Mr. Jiang," Qiu Shi slowly explained, "It is said that...he made knives privately, and he is suspected of assassinating secretly."

"What selfishness!?" Ning Bin raised her eyebrows and snorted, "I ordered him to shoot the knife. If you really want to argue, they should come to me to argue!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire Xianfu Palace fell silent, even Qiu Shi stayed there.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Ning stood up, holding up her skirt, and knelt in front of Emperor Jianxi, "The concubine, Wang Jixuan and Zhang Yousheng, both of you in the imperial hospital, have ruined the country by quack doctors! Long-term service will lead to premature death! Now that Bai Yi is collecting evidence, they have ghosts in their hearts, so they act preemptively, colluding with Jin Yiwei, intending to kill people!"

Emperor Jianxi glanced deeply at everything in the room, "Qiu Shi."

"The servant is here."

"You go to the Poison Prison right now." Emperor Jianxi's voice was calm, "Within an hour, I want Bai Yi to return to Qianqing Palace unharmed."
