Chapter 153 Serve the Emperor Well

But her method worked really well for him.

Men can’t say no!

Not to mention that he is powerless!
Xiao Yan twirled the remaining tea on his fingertips, helped the case up, bowed and said: "Since the emperor wants to see it, I will show my shame in front of the emperor."

"Well! Tai Tuo, hurry up and offer it. What you offer is not ugly, but beautiful!"

"..."

A sycophant, even after becoming the emperor, I still don't forget to flatter him.

Zhong Yan handed Xiao Yan the entry into the sky.

Holding Ru Xiao in the hand, there is a heavy and light feeling, soft and strong, very suitable for the hand.

The soldier handed a basket of feathered arrows to Zhong Han, and everyone held their breaths, wanting to see how this veteran of the two dynasties, a generation of emperor teachers, would make a fool of himself!
Meng Qing was full of confidence in him, eager to see him show off his glory.

Xiao Yan bypassed the table, walked down the steps in a leisurely manner, and stepped onto the green lawn, with a very stable foot and a slender figure.

"No, why do I think the Imperial Master really knows how to shoot an arrow?"

"You don't understand this! Although the Imperial Master is a scholar, he also knows what it means to be bold and high-spirited. Even if you don't know how to shoot, you still have to look like you can shoot and surprise others!"

"Oh brother Zeng! It seems that you are very knowledgeable about literati! I will learn a thing or two from you when I am here."

"Hahahahaha! Congratulations!"

Meng Qing silently rolled her eyes.

What arrogance is, it means Xiao Yan really knows how to shoot arrows, okay? Look at that footwork, it's really stable!

But when he thought about it, Meng Qing suddenly realized that he was thinking something he shouldn't have!
In an instant, the jade porcelain doll-like face turned white and rosy.

Xiao Yan came to the center of the stage, staring closely at Chuanyun hanging in the distance with a pair of phoenix eyes. The rope that fastened Chuanyun was only about as thick as a finger.

If you were to shoot this, few people would be able to actually hit it.

Meng Qing sat up straight, her eyes focused on the man's tall and straight back.

He held a bow and arrow in his hand and spread his legs slowly, full of momentum.

Holding the bow arm in the left hand and the feathered arrow in the right hand, put it on the bowstring, and slowly pull it away.

After the man concentrated, his gaze was fixed on the thin rope, the arrow was precise, and the slightest deviation was not allowed.

Just when everyone was lamenting that Xiao Yan was able to pull the bow and arrow away, the feather arrow flew out of his hand with lightning speed.

The courtiers and wives held their breaths and followed the arrow with their eyes, thinking it was just a joke.

But the feathered arrow hit the thin rope with precision and no difference between everyone inadvertently, passed through the rope, and landed on the lawn.

After the rope was shot, it almost broke and was crumbling.

Shocked, Xiao Yan shot a second arrow, and the feathered arrow quickly pierced through the sky and headed for the thinner rope.

In the blink of an eye, the Chuanyun hanging high in the sky was instantly shot down, and fell to the ground with a "snap" sound.

Everyone could hardly believe their eyes.

Is this still the Master Xiao they knew?Is this still that frail scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken?
Are you kidding me?

Meng Qing had already predicted the result and was not too surprised.

She immediately got up and clapped her hands, applauding: "Teacher is really a Tutor! In essays, Tutor can be number one in court; in terms of martial arts, Tutor can't lose to any general!"

After hearing the praise from the king of a country, these courtiers naturally reacted and praised them one after another.

"Master Xiao is indeed not a mortal! Not only is he a good writer, but his martial arts skills are also top notch!"

"Being able to write and use martial arts is my blessing!"

Xiao Yan turned around silently, nodded and smiled: "The emperor has praised me, but the minister is only superficial."

"Furry? Where does the Tutor's words put those dandies from the aristocratic families? Let me tell you, the Tutor can bear my praise!"

Playful dads: "..."

Xiao Yan gripped the bow and arrow tightly, passed through the crowd's admiration, returned to the banquet and sat down.

He never liked to join in the fun, and today he was willing to show his prominence because of Meng Qing.

Meng Qing's smile was like spring river and autumn water, and she threw herself at Xiao Yan.

Several hours passed, and finally someone returned.

Meng Zhiyan and He Yixuan came back with a full load, threw the prey on the ground boldly, looked around proudly, but accidentally saw Gu Yinrou in the corner, and buried their faces shyly for a while.

He Yixuan, dressed angrily, looked at Meng Qing on the emperor's stage as if asking for credit.

But Meng Qing didn't see him.

After everyone returned, the eunuchs came one after another to count their prey.

In contrast, the winner was quickly drawn.

Xiao Nanzi announced: "In this hunting competition, the winner is - Prince Yong's son Meng Zhiyan!"

Then the crowd cheered.

"I guessed it, it must be the prince! Ahhh! His Royal Highness is so handsome!"

"It seems that the Piercing Cloud Arrow belongs to the Shizi. It would be such a blessing to be able to marry the Shizi!"

Xiao Nanzi continued: "The second-class winner is——He Yixuan, the captain of the Forbidden Army Youmen School!"

"Young Master He is not bad either. He is a good candidate for a good-looking talent!"

"It's a pity that Mr. He's family background is not as good as that of the Crown Prince..."

It was time to announce the top three, and everyone was doubly nervous about the last spot.

In response to everyone's expectations, Xiao Nanzi did not try to be mysterious and shouted: "The winner of the top three awards is Qi Xiaohou, the son of Wu Yanghou, Qi Yuan!"

"Qi Yuan? It's actually Qi Yuan?"

"It's a pity...his fiancée used to be..."

Amidst the sighs, Qi Yuan's gaze also turned vicious, and Meng Qing had never seen him like this before, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

Meng Qing said: "Come here, give me the lottery."

"Yes!"

The bow and arrow piercing the clouds are undoubtedly Meng Zhiyan's, while the second armor is a pair of gold-woven unicorn embroidered knee pads, and the third armor is a Hetian jade bracelet.

After winning the lottery, the three of them saluted and thanked: "I thank the emperor for his kindness——"

……

night.

The spring mountain smoke is about to close, and the sky is light and stars are few and far between.

After eating, Meng Qing read the memorial in the tent by the candlelight. Even if she came to this place, she couldn't let go of the government affairs.

"By the way, let Yin Qiu keep an eye on He Zhenning. Is there any news?"

The sound of memorials turning over and over became slightly noisy.

Ling Yu said: "I'm watching. If there is any abnormality, Mr. Liang will send someone to report it."

"That's good, let Gu Huaian take the people from Dali Temple to prepare."

"Yes."

Lingyu bowed and went down.

Just as he opened the heavy curtain, he faced Xiao Yan who was about to enter.

"grown ups."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and the two passed by.

Meng Qing raised his head when he heard the noise, "Master? Why are you here? Aren't you going back to your tent to rest at this hour?"

Xiao Yan walked over calmly, lifted his robe and sat opposite Meng Qing.

"My minister said today that he will come to serve the emperor well at night. Could it be that the emperor has forgotten?"

He supported his palm with one hand, and stared at the innocent Meng Qing with a bit of ambiguous lust in his eyes.
