As for the art of archery, Yongyan not only endorsed it, but whenever he had free time, he would pester the instructor in the palace. The instructor couldn't resist him, so he had to go to the horse stable and choose a petite, docile mare for Yongyan.
Mounted shooting
, but even so, it is too tall and too big for Yongyan. Every time he climbs on the horse's back, it takes a lot of effort. However, he is very stubborn and refuses to let anyone lift him up. He has to rely on himself to climb up.
The power of one person.
He fell off the horse countless times and climbed up countless times. When he finally learned to ride a horse, he was already covered in injuries from the fall, and his small body was bruised and bruised, which made people feel sad just to see him.
After Yongyan recovered from his illness, he was raised in Hu's palace. Every time he was given medicine, Hu felt very sad and couldn't help crying. At this time, Yongyan would comfort Hu and say something to him.
None of it hurts.
But this night, Yongyan was very excited. He told everyone he could ride a horse, for fear that they wouldn't know. After getting the good medicine, he said: "Mother, the master said that he will teach me archery starting tomorrow."
Mrs. Hu said in surprise: "Master Meng, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait a few days before teaching?" Then, she said to Qiu Ju beside her: "Tomorrow morning, you go to see Master Meng and tell Brother Fifteen to take it easy."
I’ll learn archery in a few days.”
Before Qiu Ju could agree, Yong Yan hurriedly said, "My queen, I don't want it!"
Mrs. Hu thought he was afraid of being blamed by Master Meng, so she comforted him: "It's just a few days of delay. It doesn't matter. Besides, you are the elder brother of the court, so Master Meng still dares to embarrass you?"
"No." Yongyan shook his head hurriedly and said immediately: "Master Meng originally said that he would study a few days later, but Yongyan asked Master Meng to study tomorrow. I have almost memorized the meaning of the scriptures, and I only have a hundred steps to cross the Yangtze River.
, the sooner you learn it, the sooner you can have the Queen come back, isn’t the empress also looking forward to this day?”
Yongyan's words made Mrs. Hu feel a pain in her heart. She was really looking forward to seeing Xianyue again, but... the beloved woman had passed away, and even though the living were sad in every way, they had no chance to see her again.
They all knew this, but Yongyan didn't know that when he was young, he believed Hongli's words and thought that as long as he memorized the meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics and practiced it to the point of crossing the Yang in every possible way, he would be able to see the Xianyue again; for this reason,
He did not hesitate to study hard day and night, and he did not hesitate to fall and be covered with injuries, which was heartbreaking.
But... this may not be a bad thing. At least there is a thought in my heart. Unlike people like them who know it, they don't even have a thought. They can only occasionally find a glimmer of joy in their memories.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Yongyan's words pulled Mrs. Hu out of her thoughts and said blankly: "What's wrong?"
Yongyan's small palms caressed Hu's face. The palms that were dry just now were now full of moisture, "My dear, why are you crying? Who made you sad?"
Mrs. Hu held Yongyan tightly in her arms, not letting him see the tears pouring down her face. After a long time, she choked and said: "No one makes me sad. I shed tears because you are sensible."
, The Queen’s love for you has not been in vain all these years.”
Yongyan heard that Hu's voice was wrong, and struggled to raise his head, but was held down by Hu. She held her so tightly that she didn't even know it hurt Yongyan's arm. It wasn't until Yongyan cried out in pain that he realized it.
Before letting go, Qiu Ju had wiped away the tears on Mrs. Hu's face before letting Yong Yan see it.
Although the tears can be wiped away, the sadness in his eyes cannot be wiped away. However, the sadness is too heavy and the young Yongyan Wugun cannot understand it, so he can only ask in confusion: "Mother, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Hu stroked Yongyan's cheek over and over again. I wonder if it was because of her upbringing since she was a child. Yongyan was obviously not born from Xia Yue, but there was a trace of Xia Yue between her eyebrows and eyes.
"It's nothing. I was just thinking that the Queen would be very pleased to know that you are so sensible and diligent. By the way, didn't you say that you have almost memorized the Four Books and Five Classics? Please recite a paragraph for me to listen to."
After all, Yongyan was still young, so he was immediately diverted by Hu. He memorized the Four Books and Five Classics without any doubt.
Memory, rote memorization.
Sister, have you seen that Yong Yan has been taught very well by you; in the future, if he is a king, he will be a wise king; if he is an emperor, he will be a heroic master!
The days that followed were the same as before. Yongyan would carry books on his back for several hours every day. The rest of the time he would practice archery. The bowstring was difficult to pull. Often, soon after he pulled it, his young fingers would be broken and bleed.
, every time this time, he would wrap it in a cloth and continue to shoot.
Not to mention the palace people, even Master Meng couldn't bear to see it. He tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail every time. He couldn't understand how such a little child could have such a tenacious mind.
, suffering many hardships that even adults cannot bear.
Hongli understood the reason best, but he didn’t say anything, just watched silently...
Spring passed and autumn came, summer grew and winter faded. When Yongyan was nine years old, he was finally able to cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps, even if a galloping horse galloped. As for the Four Books, Five Classics and even the meaning of the classics, he knew them all by heart; but he did not go to Hong
Li asked Xianyue to come back. At this time, he already understood that Xianyue was not traveling far away, but... passed away.
Huang's mother, who had raised him since he was a child, had passed away when he was five years old. No matter how good he memorized books or how good his archery skills were, he would never come back.
The place where he could see Huang Aniang was Huang Ama's imperial study room. There were many portraits of Huang Aniang there, some painted during the southern tour and some painted in the Forbidden City. The last one was of Huang Aniang.
Half sitting on the bed...
On the day he found out the truth, he hid in the house and cried all night, not seeing anyone who came. It wasn't until he opened the door the next day that he realized that Mrs. Hu was afraid that he would do something stupid and stayed outside all night.
One night.
From that time on, Yongyan never mentioned wanting to see Xianyue again. Occasionally when he was in a panic, he would run to the sealed Kunning Palace and spend a whole day in the palace where Xianyue once lived.
After Hongli found out about it, he acquiesced to it; in fact, he often went to Kunning Palace in the dead of night to look for the shadow of Xia Yue remaining here.
In the past four years, he has not forgotten Xianyue for a moment, and his voice and smile have been lingering in his mind, and it has even become clearer as he grows older.
In the second year after Xianyue's departure, Hongli promoted Hu to the imperial concubine and took charge of the Sixth Palace. Over the past few years, Hu had tried her best to take care of the Sixth Palace. However, Hongli never
There was no intention of straightening her up.
After the false moon, there will be no more queen!
