The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

In the end, Jiaoyue insisted on giving the few coins to Yu Tingwan, and said a little embarrassedly: "How can you let the princess help the slave to dig out the silver?"

Unable to defeat her, Yu Tingwan had an extra purse in his hand before leaving.

Pei Zhi had been outside, listening to Ying Yue's report on the movements in the East Palace, with a solemn expression. When he noticed Yu Tingwan approaching, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that he could hardly detect.

Pei Zhi held her hand and instead of going back the way he came, he continued walking inside.

"Where are we going?" Yu Tingwan noticed that there seemed to be more Dragon Slayer Guards coming and going around him.

"Go to the shooting range."

Unlike those dragon-slaying guards who walked in a hurry and looked respectful, Pei Zhi was as leisurely as strolling in a courtyard. He raised the hand of the woman beside him and pointed at the red jade ring on it.

"I'll teach you archery." He said softly, "I ordered them to make several bows suitable for you. You can choose the one you like later."

Although there were many bows in the Wei Palace, Yu Tingwan probably couldn't pull any of them.

Remembering that he didn't say anything after she declined last time, Yu Tingwan looked up at him with some doubts.

Seeing what she was thinking, Pei Zhiyun said calmly: "You clearly wanted to learn at that time. Why should I refuse to refuse with you? I can just bring you here."

When they arrived at the room outside the shooting range, Yu Tingwan was stunned for a moment when she looked at the bows all over the wall.

It was completely different from the ones Pei Zhi usually used. It was more exquisite and smaller, decorated with gold and jade jewelry, and there was an inlaid shell carving, which was hidden in the sunlight.

"Most of the Chang'an gentry women used this kind of bow when practicing archery." Pei Zhi took out a red sandalwood bow. "It can't penetrate armor, but it can still hurt people."

Yu Tingwan took the red sandalwood bow. There was only a lotus inlaid with silver wire on it, which was much more low-key than the others.

"I'll use this one."

Pei Zhi smiled and led her to the shooting range. He stood behind her and gave her a few pointers, teaching her how to place her fingers.

After Yu Tingwan did as he was told, he suddenly remembered that birthday party, when he saw several military attachés competing in archery skills.

"Why is the posture you taught me different?" She paused. "Why is it different from other people's postures?"

Pei Zhi suddenly laughed, hugged her from behind, and replaced the small red sandalwood bow with an ordinary bow and arrow.

He held the woman's hand in his arms and taught her to no longer pull the bow string with her four fingers, but to hook it with her thumb.

From nocking an arrow to drawing the bow, it's all done in one go.

"Is this the method you mentioned that other people use?" Pei Zhi lowered his head and said, "This is the shooting method of the barbarians, and the bows used are different. You are too weak, so it is not suitable."

Yu Tingwan noticed it just now. It was Pei Zhi who was holding her hand and exerting force. She shot an arrow for the first time and subconsciously leaned against him.

"Can you..." Her throat tightened, "Stay away from me."

Unexpectedly, he laughed, and suddenly reached out and gently rubbed her earlobe. His voice was relaxed and sounded like he was in a good mood, "Okay."

Pei Zhi really only stepped forward occasionally to slightly adjust Yu Tingwan's movements.

When the third arrow was shot, Yu Tingwan's face suddenly turned red. He heard a very soft laugh. He glanced at Pei Zhi out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

He put away his smile and coughed twice, "I'm glad that Wan Wan is smart. This is only the third arrow and it can hit the target."

Yu Tingwan's face suddenly turned redder. It was obvious that the shot had missed the target and hit the target next to it.

"Really." Pei Zhi looked into her eyes, "Much better than when I was in junior high school."

"How old were you then?" Yu Tingwan was not comforted at all.

Until it got dark, she looked at the arrow stuck on the edge of the target, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Wanwan, it's time to go back." Pei Zhi suddenly said.

He was facing the light and couldn't see clearly the expression on his face. The afterglow in the distance gave his robe a layer of warmth.

When Yu Tingwan returned to the gate, the maroon horse was still there and snorted when he saw her.

She sat on the horse and looked at the fields and ridges. If they were farther away, they could no longer be seen. She could only see the crimson sky.

“The scenery here is quite beautiful.”

Pei Zhi paused when he heard this, "If you are not afraid, I will take you back to the city on horseback."

He glanced at the woman in his arms and remembered that she was not wearing a curtain today and would be seen when entering Chang'an City. He felt a little uncomfortable and changed his words: "Quickly change the carriage when we return to the city."

Yu Tingwan was unaware of his thoughts and was worried about whether it would be bad if others saw the King of Wei strutting through the city with a woman in his arms. When he heard what he said, he simply agreed.

As soon as he left Zhuangzi, there was no one in the official road. The horses under him were completely released and ran like thunder and lightning, and the wind whistled past his ears.

When the horse stopped, Yu Tingwan covered her chest and asked, "Is your horse a war horse?"

Pei Zhi thought she was shocked and said warmly: "You have indeed been on the battlefield. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly froze. The woman in his arms suddenly turned around and looked at him. Although she was covering her heart as if she was frightened, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her smile was scorching.

"It's not uncomfortable, I like it very much."

I was nervous at the beginning, but the slightly cool wind lingered on the tip of my nose, my heart beat like a drum, and I felt as comfortable as floating clouds. It seemed that I could escape from the five elements at any time, and look back to my youth, when I was carefree in Lingji.

Pei Zhi looked down at her, and his already bright red lips became even more colorful, reminding him of the begonia flower in full bloom.

She had smiled lightly at him before, but never like this.

I was in a daze, remembering Yu Xiuyun's accusation when he was in Jingzhou: "King Wei, my sister is actually lively and indulgent in front of her family. After being with you, she became like this. She is always on tenterhooks. Why do you ask me Beg her."

His throat moved, and he lowered his eyes to look at her, his voice filled with a touch of joy, "As long as you like it."

After dismounting, Yu Tingwan felt something was wrong and his thighs hurt.

"It's your first time riding a horse. It's normal to have some redness and swelling." Pei Zhi saw her frowning slightly and touched her hair, "Go back and ask the doctor to get some medicine."

As soon as he got on the carriage, the pain became more intense, but he could still bear it. Yu Tingwan couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage to take a look at when he would arrive at Prince Wei's Mansion.

"What's wrong?" Pei Zhi couldn't help but ask her when he saw her looking outside frequently.

"I want to go back soon."

Her voice was muffled, which made the man next to her look much gentler.

Pei Zhi saw her lowering her head and remembered that Yu Tingwan was always afraid of pain and her skin was delicate and delicate. It might be more than just redness and swelling.

The carriage stopped in front of Prince Wei's Mansion. Pei Zhi got out of the car and picked her up without hesitation, "Why didn't you say it hurt?"

Yu Tingwan was quite obedient in his arms, but when she entered the front yard, she saw Chen Xi and said quickly, "I can leave by myself."

"Will you shed tears of pain after you go back?" Pei Zhi's tone was a little cold, "Let others see you and I being close, will it embarrass you so much?"

Chen Xi waited for more than half an hour, but King Wei did not come back. He could only wait in the front hall. He caught a glimpse of a woman in his lord's arms. He was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and bowed politely, not daring to look at Yu Tingwan. .

Pei Zhi came to see her twice. The first time he left behind the mess in the city and rushed from the palace to the outside of Chang'an. The second time he blinded the prince in order to mobilize the Yulin Guards to search for people. Chen Xi knew about it, so he He didn't dare to look at the princess for fear of getting into trouble.

Pei Zhi nodded and signaled Chen Xi to wait a moment, and ordered someone to send Yu Tingwan back in a sedan chair. After he glanced at Chen Xi behind him, his tone was neither salty nor light.

"Something happened in the East Palace?"
