The fifth prince said: "Fourth brother, don't say that. It's not easy for the seventh brother to marry a wife. It's okay to cherish her a little. Sixth brother, are you right?"
The two of them laughed first as they talked.
The Sixth Prince and his wife watched the whole process last night, and their feelings were much deeper than these two.
Last night, Tang Miaoxin fought against the second prince and concubine very cruelly, and dealt with her neatly.
Tang Miaoxin is definitely not a rough village girl like the rumors. She may be rough, but she is definitely not lacking in wisdom.
Of course they would not share these things with the other princes, and they even wished they would suffer at the hands of Tang Miaoxin.
At this time, they had not decided whether to make enemies or make friends with them, so they did not accept the fifth prince's words at this time.
The fifth prince was unhappy.
Ning Guzhou said expressionlessly: "My own wife loves herself."
"Fifth brother has so much time to worry about me, why not pay more attention to fifth sister-in-law."
The fifth prince's concubine had a miscarriage caused by a concubine in the palace some time ago. Today she applied a thick layer of powder on her face, but it still couldn't hide her sallow complexion.
The fifth prince glared at him and was about to speak when Emperor Cheng Ming and the Queen arrived, so he had to swallow his words.
All the princes have grown up and have already opened their own residences, so there are not many people who usually gather together.
It's just that even if they get together, there won't be the so-called brotherly love, more of
Emperor Chengming seemed to be in good spirits today. He glanced at them and asked them to have breakfast together.
This is also an old rule in the hunting ground every year. The princes knew that this was a good opportunity to show their faces in front of Emperor Cheng Ming once a year.
Each and every one of them tried their best to express themselves in front of Emperor Cheng Ming.
Only Ning Guzhou always sat in the corner eating and did not participate at all.
Tang Miaoxin felt that there was no essential difference between the princes who usually looked at them and flattered them and the common people.
It's just that their words are more elegant and their flattery is not so explicit.
Emperor Chengming listened to what they were talking about, and occasionally nodded his head slightly to respond with a sentence or two, and even showed a little smile.
His gentle attitude made all the princes feel like they were on the receiving end of blood, desperately trying to behave in front of Emperor Cheng Ming.
The person who was most aggressive in front of Emperor Cheng today was Ning Zhiyuan. What happened to the second prince last night was exactly when he acted.
The only ones who did not approach Emperor Cheng Ming today were Ning Guzhou and the second prince.
Ning Guzhou has always been cold and cold, even if he is Emperor Cheng Ming, he will not deliberately get close to him.
The second prince did not dare to approach Emperor Cheng Ming because of what happened last night, for fear of being punished.
The second prince walked up to Ning Guzhou and said sadly, "Seventh brother is going to give up on such a good opportunity?"
Ning Guzhou said expressionlessly: "I came to the hunting ground to play with Miao Xin, and other things have nothing to do with me."
After he finished speaking, he gave Tang Miaoxin a piece of white jade cake: "Eat more, there will be nothing to eat when you enter the forest."
The second prince looked at Ning Guzhou with a look of disdain on his face as he doted on his wife like a maniac:
Ning Guzhou is just a piece of mud that can't stand up to the wall!
The second prince snorted coldly and said: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"
"You're like you, you don't even know how and when you're going to die."
Ning Guzhou was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at the second prince with the tail of her eyes. This man was the real fool. It was rare for him to be used as a gun by Ning Guzhou many times without knowing it.
The important thing is that he has no self-awareness at all, and it is not easy to be stupid enough to be in this situation.
After breakfast, Emperor Cheng Ming took the queen and the princes to the martial arts field. The courtiers, uncles and nephews of the Su family had already arrived.
After everyone greeted them, Emperor Ming said: "We, Yan, established our country with martial arts, and all the princes must learn to ride and shoot since they were young."
"The future king of our country, Dayan, must be the best among all the princes. Wen must be able to stabilize the country, and military must be able to rule the country!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the queen and Ning Zhiyuan changed.
Everyone knows that Ning Zhiyuan indulges in drinking and sex, and he is not very good at riding and shooting.
Since the last incident, Emperor Cheng Ming has not expressed his dissatisfaction with Ning Zhiyuan to the outside world, but this time he almost made it clear that he wanted to depose Ning Zhiyuan.
All the princes were eager to try and said in unison: "Father is wise!"
The ministers began to speculate there, if Ning Zhiyuan was deposed, which prince would Emperor Cheng Ming prefer to become the crown prince?
Emperor Cheng Ming turned to Ning Zhiyuan and said: "Prince, your riding and archery was taught by me. You must not let me down this time!"
No matter how uncomfortable Ning Zhiyuan felt, he had to suppress it and said bravely: "My son, I will do my best!"
Emperor Cheng Ming nodded: "Very good! As a prince, you must behave like a prince. Today's 'outstanding' performance will be yours!"
Ning Zhiyuan's face became even more ugly, and he could only accept it.
The so-called "out of color" refers to a tall wooden stake not far away, with a couplet and some colored paper rolled up with thread.
When the line is shot, the couplets and confetti will fall down at the same time. The word "out of color" is named after the confetti flying.
The line is very thin and the wooden stake is very high, so it is very difficult to hit it.
In previous years, this was done by Lin Yue, the leader of the Royal Forest Army. This year, Emperor Cheng Ming specified that Ning Zhiyuan should be the shooter. In the ears of everyone, it seemed that Ning Zhiyuan was in trouble.
More people speculated in their hearts that if Ning Zhi missed his shot from a distance, Emperor Cheng Ming might take the opportunity to depose the crown prince.
Ning Zhiyuan thought so too, so he was under great pressure.
He knew his own archery skills very well. Normally, it would be impossible for him to hit a line fifty paces away.
He took aim with the bow and arrow, sweat dripped from his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly.
The queen was a little anxious when she saw this scene. She smiled and said to Emperor Cheng Ming: "Your Majesty, the prince is the crown prince. How can he do such a small thing? Why not let Commander Lin do it?"
Emperor Cheng Ming glanced at her with the tail of his eyes: "As the crown prince, if you can't do such small things well, how can you do big things?"
Queen: "..."
Emperor Chengming said quietly: "Does the queen think that the prince can't hit the target?"
The queen really felt this way, but she couldn't say it clearly. She only said: "The prince is a cavalry and archer taught by the emperor, so his cavalry and archery are naturally the best."
"It's just that the prince came here last night after a long journey and was feeling a little unwell. I am afraid that he will lose his strength."
Emperor Chengming smiled lightly: "I don't feel any discomfort at all. The prince is young, is it possible that his physical strength is not as good as mine?"
All the queen's excuses were blocked, and she didn't dare to say anything no matter how worried she was.
Emperor Chengming said to Ning Zhiyuan: "Shoot!"
Ning Zhiyuan knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, closed his eyes and released the string, and the arrow flew straight in the direction of the wooden stake.
Maybe his life was not meant to be cut off, or maybe he was so lucky that the arrow hit the thin line just right!
