"We'll know later." With that said, he said to Xianyue: "This afternoon, Concubine Wan came to see me and said she wanted to go with her to Mulan Paddock. This matter happened yesterday
My concubine also mentioned that she wanted to go there together. Speaking of which, I haven’t taken you to the paddock for many years, so I came here tonight to ask your opinion?"
Xia Yue's eyes flashed lightly and she said: "Xin Bin is pregnant. If she goes to the paddock at this time, I am worried that there will be danger."
"I have thought about this, but I just went to take a look. There is no danger. The imperial doctor also said that Xinbin's tire pressure is stable, and a short ride will not cause the tire pressure. However, if you feel something is wrong, then
Not going."
Hearing what they said, Yongxun couldn't help but said: "Empress Huang, would you like to come with us?"
"Huang'e Niang..." Xianyue was about to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, her heart moved and she said instead: "Okay, Huang'e Niang will also go and see if your hunting skills have improved."
Hearing this, Yongxun was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Okay, I will definitely work hard to earn the first place to show the emperor."
Hongli was a little surprised and said: "So, you agree?"
Xianyue smiled and said: "Could it be that Concubine Wan and Concubine Xin are all interested, so how could I be so unhappy? Besides, I also want to go for a walk in the paddock, but I have to let Dr. Zhou and the others follow me, just in case anything happens."
It would be nice to have someone take care of things."
Hongli said happily: "Well, I'll let Zheng Jiu arrange it tomorrow."
After the meal, Hongli took Yong Cang to the palace courtyard. Although there were palace lanterns everywhere, it was not as bright as during the day. It was almost impossible to practice archery in this environment.
Seeing Yongxun frowning tightly, how could Hongli not know what he was thinking? He smiled slightly and said to Xiaowu: "Go and make arrangements."
"Hey." Not long after Xiao Wu left, about ten feet away, orange-red palace lanterns kept lighting up, one after another. By the time they reached the back, there were almost a hundred lanterns hanging separately.
On both sides, one is high and the other is low, and there is a wire connecting them in the middle.
Seeing this, Yongxun suddenly said: "I understand, Emperor Ama wants me to shoot these palace lanterns." Undoubtedly, in the dark, the palace lanterns with bright light are the best targets, even better than during the day.
Be clear.
"Half of a guess is right." Hongli took the bow and arrow handed over by Li Qi and said: "Once the target is placed there, it will not move. As long as you aim it, you will definitely hit it, but the target is dead, and people or
Animals are alive, they can run and walk, people who can only shoot dead things will always be
You can't hit a living animal. Although your results in the past few hunts were passable, I have observed that it takes almost six or seven arrows to hit an arrow. With such a hit rate, once you are on the battlefield, you can miss with one arrow.
Before he could even land the second arrow, he was already killed by the enemy."
Yongxun said shamefully: "My son also knows this problem and has been trying to practice it, but... the effect is not great."
Hongli made a gesture to Xiao Wu who was opposite him, then put an arrow on his bow and said: "You have to watch carefully!"
Following his words, Xiao Wu let go of a palace lantern hanging from a high place and let it slide down the wire. When the palace lantern slid halfway, a sharp arrow was ready to pass through the lampshade, causing the candlelight inside to
It shook for a while, but it never went out. It was still on there, but there was an extra hole at the top that was pierced by an arrow.
Behind this lamp, Xiao Wu let go of the two lamps and let them slide down. Hongli suddenly drew two and put them on the bow. As the bow string was loosened, the two arrows flew out with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
, "Puff" twice, penetrated the lampshade at the same time, and then three or even four lamps, none of them penetrated. Yong Cang looked on and was dumbfounded. He knew that Huang Ama's archery skills were superb, but he didn't expect that he was so good at it.
Four arrows were shot at the same time, and each arrow hit the moving target accurately. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would hardly have believed it. After coming back to his senses, he looked at Hongli excitedly and said: "Emperor
Amma, how did you do it?"
"The moment you see the target, you must immediately calculate in your mind the speed at which it is moving, the speed at which the arrow is shot, as well as the direction and speed of the wind. Only by calculating all of these accurately can you hit the target."
Yong Cang said in embarrassment: "How to calculate this? Besides, by the time the calculation is completed, the target will have disappeared long ago."
"Of course it's not enough to just see with your eyes, you have to learn to see with your heart." With that said, Hongli carefully explained the essentials to Yong Cang, then handed him the bow and arrow and said, "Let's try it."
Yongxun nodded, and while putting the arrow on the bowstring, he tried hard to digest what Hongli had just said, and looked at it with his heart... What exactly is meant by looking at it with his heart?
"Brother Twelve, are you okay? The slave is about to start." Xiao Wu's words pulled Yong Cang out of his thoughts. He clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, let's start!"
The palace lantern slid through the wire as expected, but Yongzhen failed to hit several arrows and missed them all. He gritted his teeth unwillingly and said to Xiao Wu: "Come again!"
Huang Ama can shoot, so he can definitely shoot, look with your heart...see with your heart...
Yongxun kept drawing his bow and arrows, but he barely managed to hit twice until the arrows in his quiver were empty. This result made him a little frustrated, but he was unwilling to give in. He said softly: "Huang Ama, can you
Demonstrate again?"
"Okay." Hongli ordered someone to get a new quiver. Just like before, he shot from one arrow to four arrows. Yong Cang watched intently. After Hongli stopped his movements, if he had
I took the bow and arrow thoughtfully. At the beginning, as before, most of the arrows missed. But as the number of times increased, the proportion of hits became higher and higher. Finally, I hit three arrows in a row.
Yongxun's obvious progress made Hongli nod repeatedly. After Yongxun shot the last arrow, he said: "It seems that he understands what I said."
Yongxun followed his words and said: "Yes, I understand a little bit, but I still can't shoot as many arrows at the same time as Huang Ama did."
Hongli patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be anxious, practice slowly. I'm waiting to see your performance in this hunting."
Yongxun nodded vigorously and said: "Well, Emperor Ama, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
Two days later, the news that Hongli wanted to take his concubines to Mulan Paddock quickly spread throughout the palace. The concubines who stayed in this corner of the harem all day were very happy to hear the news, especially in recent days.
The concubines who were selected into the palace at the age of 18 have never stepped out of the palace since they entered the palace.
In the Nishang Pavilion, Mrs. Wang ordered the palace servants to put Yan Chuang, snow clams, ginseng and other items into boxes one by one. She also asked people to take out all the clothes in the cabinet. After looking at them one by one, she pointed out a few of them.
He said: "Take these few pieces away and pack the rest carefully, so as not to get wrinkled by then; also, tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to make another batch of clothes. The previous ones, I,
