princess

Chapter 52

When the second arrow was shot, Xiao Yuanmin's arrow was following the fourth prince's, but Xiao Yuanmin's arrow was faster than the fourth prince's, and he hit the target first. I don't know if it was a coincidence or Xiao Yuanmin's calculation. The position of the fourth prince's arrow was just right. At Xiao Yuanmin's arrow, the fourth prince's arrow pierced the tail of Xiao Yuanmin's arrow and naturally missed the target.

The fourth prince turned his head to look at Xiao Yuanmin, only to see Xiao Yuanmin had a bright smile on his face, as if it could burn people's eyes.

He looked at the target again, and there were four arrows stuck in the target, but two fell on the ground, and the hand holding the rein was almost pale, so he was sure that Xiao Yuanmin was taking revenge on himself, but why did he suspect himself.

In the third round, Xiao Chengde did not dare to draw the bow for some reason, and Xiao Yuanmin's arrow was firmly fixed in the center of the target. Looking at the second prince and Xiao Yuanmin who rode to the side after shooting the arrow, Xiao Chengde felt that their smiles were Taunting himself, Xiao Chengde only drew his bow and shot the last arrow when the horse ran for the fourth lap, but due to reasons in his heart, the arrow barely hit the edge of the target.

"Second brother, you see that fourth brother deliberately gave way to me, and you and I are the only ones to compare." Xiao Yuanmin said coquettishly, but these words were still ironic in the ears of the fourth prince.

"Fourth Brother is soft-hearted." Xiao Chengxuan said with a smile.

Emperor Xuanhe naturally saw everything on the field. Although he knew that his daughter did it on purpose, he also felt that the fourth son should be constantly useless.

Concubine Lin Gui smiled lightly, "As expected of Empress Hui Yi, the eldest princess born to Her Majesty."

The implication is that the four princes born to Concubine Shu can't even compare to a princess in riding and shooting. This is clearly revenge for Concubine Shu's insinuation that she tampered with the prince's horse.

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Chengde is not good at this. He doesn't like to go out on weekdays. He only likes to read. I'm afraid he will become a nerd."

"Father, it was the older sister who won." Xiao Yuzuo interrupted Concubine Shu and the others, "Or did the second elder brother win?"

Concubine Shu answered, "Why did the fourth prince run around four times?"

Xiao Chenglin said with a smile, "I think the big sister won."

Concubine Lin Gui is now angry with Concubine Shu, and even angry with Xiao Qingrong. Xiao Chengshi is your own younger brother, and you don't even want to help your younger brother, which makes Xiao Chengshi nobody pay attention, but makes Xiao Chenglin's greedy and lazy something prevailed.

Seeing Concubine Lin Gui's eyes, Xiao Qingrong trembled in her heart, pinched the handkerchief before stepping forward and said, "I also think that the eldest sister won, after all, the eldest sister is a girl, and she is also the younger sister of the second and fourth brothers. It's right for the fourth brother to give way."

The meaning of these words is like Xiao Yuanmin won disgrace, and all relied on the favor of his two elder brothers to trample him down.

Murong Xi lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, but he didn't look at those princesses too much, but when he heard what the second princess said, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. The eldest princess's victory depends more on hard work, and I don't know how much I have paid to be able to be here today.

Emperor Xuanhe couldn't understand the meaning in her words, he frowned, and didn't make any sense at all.

Concubine Lin Guifei has the heart to strangle her daughter to death. This is not to demolish herself, it is the first time she regrets teaching her daughter like this.

Xiao Yuzuo doesn't like to argue with Xiao Qingrong, but Xiao Ningxin doesn't have these scruples, "My younger sister disagrees with what the second elder sister said. Although my younger sister doesn't know if the two elder brothers are modest, but the hard work of the elder sister is beyond the reach of you and me. How, younger sister admires elder sister."

"What do you admire about me?" Xiao Yuanmin just heard the last sentence when he came back, casually threw the reins of the horse into the hands of the guards beside him, and then saluted Emperor Xuanhe, "Father."

"Xuanxuan is very good." Emperor Xuanhe said with a smile.

The second and fourth princes also came over, and Emperor Xuanhe's voice was a little soft, "Cheng Xuan is not bad, but Cheng De needs to practice more."

"Yes." The two said in unison.

Xiao Chengde didn't believe that Emperor Xuanhe didn't see that it was Xiao Yuanmin who excluded him on purpose, but Emperor Xuanhe didn't say so, and he couldn't sue.

Li Dezhong came over soon, and the results of the three of them came out. In fact, it is reasonable to say that Xiao Chengxuan should have the best result, but none of his three arrows hit the heart, but one of Xiao Yuanmin's arrows hit the heart, but one of the other two arrows missed the heart. .

"I'm not as good as my sister." Xiao Chengxuan was quite hearty, "I'm older than my sister, and I'm a man, but I didn't have an arrow in the heart. The hunting should be left to my sister."

Xiao Chengde wished to strangle Xiao Yuanmin and Xiao Chengxuan to death with the bow in his hand, but there was a smile on his face, "Second Brother said so."

"Xuanxuan deserves his name." Emperor Xuanhe got up, took the bow and put it in Xiao Yuanmin's hand, "I will leave the hunting to Xuanxuan, and Xuanxuan will help my father shoot a deer back .”

Xiao Yuanmin knelt down and took the bow with both hands, "My daughter should do her best to live up to the high expectations of her father."

"Second Sister, if you want a little fox, you can also tell Big Sister." Xiao Ningxin was innocent, "Big Sister will definitely bring it back for you."

Xiao Yuanmin looked at Xiao Qingrong, and said with a smile, "Yeah, actually, the rabbit is also very cute, does the second sister want it?"

Xiao Qingrong suppressed her anger, "I..." He only said one word, because Lin Guifei touched her lightly, interrupted her, pursed her lower lip to hide the unwillingness in her eyes, "Then thank you, big sister."

Emperor Xuanhe didn't seem to notice at all, "Xuanxuan, prepare well these few days, ask the people in your pavilion to work harder, and make some new clothes. I also have some good silk and satin. I wanted to enjoy them together later. Go down, this time you go to choose first."

"Okay." Xiao Yuanmin replied straight away, "How about me and my two younger sisters choose some, what do you think, Father?"

"Then all the satin this time will be handed over to you, and you can divide it up." Emperor Xuanhe said indifferently.

"Thank you, father." Xiao Yuanmin did not shirk.

Concubine Lin Gui lowered her head, with a bit of hatred in her eyes. This was her business, and she was handed over to Xiao Yuanmin so easily. How could she bear this tone, but now she can't bear it, but she wants to take a look. Concubine Shu, seeing her eyes full of jealousy, felt better.

This time, she was one step behind. Who was the one who surprised the horse? She counted several people into it, and looked at Xiao Yuanmin while talking. Could it be that she did it on purpose?To sacrifice his younger brother to improve himself?Thinking of how her daughter Xiao Qingrong treated Xiao Chengshi, Concubine Lin felt that she had guessed well, these princes and princesses in the palace could not possibly serve others wholeheartedly, they all had their own little thoughts.

Can this point be exploited? Concubine Lin Guifei thought about looking at the smiling prince again, and began to calculate in her heart.
