The emperor felt a kind of dependent, pure love from a concubine.

A kind of love that can only survive by relying on him.

A pitiful creature that only had eyes for him, weak and in need of him.

The feelings of being relied upon, saved, and even nurtured all surged into the emperor's heart.

He thought, just like raising a little toy.

It's okay to be a little stupid, but the heart is pure.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at her face and said: "You can learn archery, how can you repay me."

Nanzhi's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty can do anything."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, looking unconvinced, and asked, "What if I asked you to die?"

To die to show one's will is loyalty.

Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then said: "My life belongs to your majesty. If your majesty wants me to die, I can only die."

There was moisture in her black and white eyes. "Did I do something wrong?"

The emperor curled his lips in satisfaction, "That's just what I said. I didn't ask you to die. In your heart, I am a cruel and bloodthirsty person?"

He turned the tables.

Nanzhi immediately said seriously: "No, Your Majesty is not such a person."

Her attitude pleased the emperor. What the emperor wanted was to be taken seriously no matter what happened.

Instead of just laughing and getting away with it.

Whether it is the harem or the former dynasty.

Even an emperor cannot escape the attention and gaze of others.

Everyone wants to be the most important person to others and be treated with respect and caution.

Maybe one day he would get bored of it, but right now, the emperor found it interesting.

The emperor smiled even more and thought that she should be rewarded. "Since you want to learn archery, I agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nanzhi thanked him immediately, her face full of joy and gratitude, "Your Majesty, I can learn archery now, and I will definitely study hard."

The emperor said: "Come on, I will teach you how to shoot an arrow."

Nanzhi wanted to thank him again, but the emperor grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go. There's no need to do this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She smiled with her eyes curved, and her clear eyes seemed to be filled with deep, rich, and inextricable emotions.

The emperor held out his hand, and the guard placed the bow and arrow in his hand. He turned to Nanzhi and said, "I will show you how to shoot an arrow first."

Nanzhi said nothing, staring straight ahead, expecting, admiring...

The emperor put the arrow on the string and stared intently at the target in the distance.

"Buzz, ding..."

The arrow flew out and hit the red center of the target, quite accurately.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was very accurate. He looked at the woman with great pride.

Nanzhi was shocked. She looked at the target in amazement, then looked at the emperor, and said as if she had never seen the world before: "Your Majesty, you are too amazing. How did you do it? How did you do it?"

The emperor was extremely satisfied. He said calmly, "I have been learning the art of riding and shooting since I was a child. For me, it is nothing special."

Nanzhi: “Nothing more than that?”

She said awkwardly and unconfidently: "Your Majesty, I may not be able to do it."

"No problem, I'll teach you."

"Your Majesty, you want to teach me?"

"Of course, I am very busy with many things. It all depends on you. I will teach you once today to see how much you can understand."

"Okay, okay."

The tone was not very confident and cautious.

The emperor taught Nanzhi how to draw the bow and shoot arrows step by step, and the whole person was enveloped in his arms.

She seemed to be influenced by the emperor, like a puppet, being pulled by the emperor to shoot arrows.

"Remember?"

The emperor was well aware of her nervousness and was satisfied with his influence on her. Nanzhi's face turned red and sweaty, "Remember, remember."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you really remember it?"

"I am guilty. I am stupid and I didn't learn it or remember it." Nanzhi said immediately, her face full of shame.

"Then you study hard. If you don't study well, I will punish you."

The emperor saw her face turn pale, and then continued: "If you learn well, I will reward you and take you to autumn hunting."

Nanzhi became even more nervous, "I will remember this."

The emperor hummed softly, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear: "I will come to see you tonight."

Then he looked at her shy look with satisfaction.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Nanzhi saluted, looked at the emperor's smug back, picked up the arrows on the ground and started shooting.

Probably because he was not strong enough, he couldn't even pull the bow fully, and the arrow he shot out was very light and fell softly to the ground, without being able to stand on the ground.

It couldn't even get rid of the dust on the ground.

It's not even as good as a child shooting arrows.

The people around wanted to laugh but held it back.

Isn't it a joke to let a concubine who is so weak that she can't even tie a chicken shoot arrows?
The emperor was just joking.

However, being able to play around with the emperor like this means that you have some status in the emperor's heart.

Nanzhi looked around with a flushed face, as if embarrassed, and started shooting again with the arrow, still the same.

Looking at the emperor's arrow nailed on the target, she let out a long sigh, feeling hopeless and out of reach.

Shanhu came over and comforted her quickly: "My dear, take your time, you will be able to do it."

Nanzhi said without hesitation: "I am no match for Your Majesty. I am lucky enough to be able to shoot the arrow at the target."

“Archery is too difficult.”

Coral also found it difficult. The strength gap between men and women was too great. The young lady couldn't even pull the bow with the smallest strength.

The bows and arrows used were still those used by children for archery.

Wanting to shoot prey during the autumn hunt is simply a pipe dream.

Nanzhi added: "I will work hard, eat more to gain strength, and shoot the arrow at the target."

Shanhu grinned, "My lord, you are right."

Nanzhi pulled the bowstring for a long time with all his strength, but he couldn't even lift his arms, and his muscles were sore at the slightest touch.

Learning martial arts is so difficult.

Nanzhi couldn't hold on any longer and returned to Changchun Palace. Concubine Lin came up to her and asked, "How is it?"

Nanzhi nodded, "It's OK, nothing unexpected happened, I have to shoot arrows now."

Concubine Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that there are no accidents. Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"

Nanzhi tilted her head and said, "I don't know about that."

Lady Lin saw that she looked exhausted and said, "Take a rest. I have some blood-activating ointment for you. I'll send it to you."

"But use less. There's some musk in it. Musk can invigorate the mind, stimulate blood circulation, relieve swelling and relieve pain. This stuff is usually found in ointments. I'm telling you first, don't accuse me of drugging you."

After talking it out, Concubine Lin seemed very calm and honest to a frightening degree.

Nanzhi smiled and said, "I know, thank you, sister."

"Go."

Nanzhi was frail and suddenly had to use his muscles to a greater extent, causing him to grimace in pain.

Shanhu took out a handkerchief from the icy water and covered Nanzhi's arm with it, "Let me rub it for you."

Nanzhi lost her voice and said, "You are crazy, you want to hurt someone to death."

If you rub it, it will definitely hurt so much that you will jump up.

"What hurts so much?"

The Emperor's voice rang out. (End of this chapter)
