Under the wide pergola, people were filled with flowers. Meili lowered her head and followed the eunuch. Even if she didn't have to look at her, she knew that everyone was not feeling uncomfortable? Not nervous? They were all fake... Next
Everything she had to face, she smiled lightly and as her punishment
"Meili, why did you come?" Xiaozhuang waved his hand to avoid her bowing, pointed to the chair beside her and signaled her to sit over.
"Oh, are you really being released?" A voice said very unrestrainedly, cold and mean, regardless of the Empress Dowager who was present.
Because she had thought she would encounter such embarrassment, Miri was calm. She couldn't help but look up to see the person she was talking, because she was not sure that it was Jingxian.
"Yeah, let it go" Meili smiled
"Didn't you say that the land in your house is coming back? Why are you dressing up even more poorly? Isn't it because the master is not here in the past two years, and his property has been deceived by a conscientious slave?" Jingxian said and sneered.
A few sounds
"Okay! Don't be crazy!" Xiaozhuang, who had a cold face, couldn't help but whisper to stop her. He frowned and hugged for a while. The angry women present seemed to have not heard Jingxian's words, and greeted and laughed at each other.
Jingxian... Meili didn't want to provoke her, so she lowered her eyes and refused to look at her provocative gaze. The story of the Supreme Hall was full of turmoil. Everyone knew it. Jingxian, who was arrogant and arrogant, suffered a big blow, but
I didn't expect that she would become so harsh. Before, she was at least obedient and likable in front of her. Her ancestor was patient with her. She also felt that she was innocent and unfortunate in the past and felt that she owed her a lot.
"The weather is right today," Xiaozhuang reluctantly smiled and talked to the ladies nearby, distracting the embarrassment just now. "Look, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I feel that those children have grown up to be young men again.
Now! Time passes so fast! In a blink of an eye, the children are older and we are all old.”
Time passes fast? Her two years... are as long as a lifetime
"The ancestor is not old at all!" A woman who Meili didn't know smiled and said, "I have been out of Beijing for nine years with my master. When I come back, I see where my ancestors are still the same as before!"
Xiaozhuang laughed when she said, "You are still as happy as you were by my side back then. I heard from the emperor that your son came back with you, and he has never seen you."
Meili looked at the woman carefully. What she had heard of her should be Yingru, the beautiful girl who went to the palace with Aunt Yu'an to serve her ancestors. Because her ancestor liked her, she pointed her door.
My son is so close. Later, her husband became the Governor of Chahar. She also became a first-class imperial edict. Uncle Hai used to warn her about Aunt Ying Ru, how important it is to please her ancestors.
"Here's here!" Seeing that the ancestor took the initiative to mention his son, Mrs. Ying Ru was grateful and surprised, so she quickly ordered her personal maid: "Go and call Yonghe!"
The concubines and girls present were obviously interested in the upcoming appearance of Young Master Yonghe, and they all took their eyes off Miri
Judging from the posture... Meili lowered her head. Governor Chahar has been promoted when he returned to Beijing. His wife is so popular with her ancestors. She is in the limelight.
Following the maid, she was a young man in her twenties. Meili was drinking tea silently. She didn't look closely at the sound of praise around her and did not arouse her interest. As long as the ancestor said he was good, she would be missing her arms and legs.
To be a rare talent
"...Okay, OK, the emperor's arrangement is quite similar to my intentions. It was a worry-free thing for me to be the commander of the guards in the past. It was very good if I replaced Yonghe!"
Hearing Zi Yu's name, Meili looked up and looked at Yonghe who was standing in the lower head. She was clean and handsome and a little childish. Zi Yu has now become the emperor's confidant, so she naturally has a lot to use to protect the imperial city.
It's just right to give it to a young man with roots and vines like Yonghe.
"Look, the comparison of arrows has begun." Xiaozhuang looked excitedly into the field not far away. The men stood in front of the drawn lines to examine their bows and arrows and targets, and the drum sounds became
Rhythm
"You go too! Let me decide the first one, and my ancestors will be rewarded!" Xiaozhuang said to the girls with a smile, and the girls were eager to try. "Yonghe, tell me, Su Ying's bow.
It’s extra light, she’s weak and hurting is not something to play with!”
"Thank you for the grace of our ancestors" sweet voice is soft and lively, and the person is pretty and beautiful, and he looks in the voice and admires it. No wonder our ancestors are particularly fond of her. She... is so beautiful and so delicate.
"Girl, go too!" Xiaozhuang patted her shoulder lightly, and Meili Fuzhen agreed.
The girls have a big target and are closer to the men. Seeing that the girls are all coming out of the awning, the emperor is not in a hurry to host the men's competition, and they all look here from afar and smile
Meili's target was on the edge of the man's field, and Jingxian was next to her. Meili didn't want to talk to her, so she took the bow held by the little eunuch and tried it. She used to be busy around her.
Jingxuan ran around and didn't compete well. It turned out that each person had six arrows.
"Virtue! She is only delicate!" Jingxian sneered coldly
Meili originally thought she was scolding her, but when she looked back, she found that Jingxian was staring at Suying, who was arranged in the middle, frowned, and her pretty little face was even more pitying. She was cautious.
Wearing gloves, afraid of scratching the delicate little hands
Jingxian cursed again, and he pulled the bow and shot an arrow. A few shouts came from the group of men.
Su Ying wore gloves, pulled the bow and shot the arrow in a graceful and pretty posture, and her heroic posture was seductive. Such a weak girl could actually shoot her with an arrow. Even the emperor clapped and encouraged her. The men's cheers were filled with silence.
Xian's expression became even more disdainful
"It's indeed the daughter of the Salt Governor, and it's fragrant when you spit."
Meili smiled and pulled her bow open. With a "pop", the light bow specially prepared for the girls was actually broken by her. Meili was startled and a sharp pain was heard behind her ears.
She couldn't help but reach out to touch her. There was a bloodshot in the tide, but it was just a twitch when the bowstring was broken.
"Ah!" The girls all stopped and looked at her with different expressions. "She pulled the bow off!"
"How could it be so energetic? Is the food in the cold palace good?" I don't know who was mean and even caused a few secret smiles.
Miri smiled apologetically. She forgot that her strength was already incomparable to the past. She accidentally broke the bow. As soon as she entered the Anning Hall, she tried her best to get half a bucket of water. Later, she could continue
Carry several full buckets
"Are you okay?" Yonghe, who was about to walk to the man's venue, came over with his bow on his back and looked at the wound on her neck worriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Meili didn't expect that he would come over to ask, a little embarrassed
The little eunuch quickly handed over a new bow. Meili was still scared and pulled it but didn't dare to force it.
"Use mine!" Yonghe smiled and took down his bow and handed it over carefully. It was not good if Meili didn't answer it. She could only smile awkwardly and took the strong bow.
This time, she was not afraid of breaking it, so she hit the arrow, "No, no!" Yonghe shouted, looking at it, and was embarrassed to correct it. She grabbed her ears twice in a hurry, and the child made Meili smile like a child.
"Don't catch the feathers"
...Don't catch the feathers...
Jingxuan said this to her a long time ago, and her impatient tone seemed to ring in her ears. She let her hands go, and the arrow flew out without target, and it was obliquely crossed the target and fell on the grass behind.
"Oh..." Yonghe sighed regretfully, "You are too anxious, just aim at it."
"Thank you" She returned the bow to him, said to the eunuch, pretending that she was going to apply medicine to the wound and leaving the competition venue
