"Who are you calling a reckless man?" Hongyu hated the word 'reckless man' the most, because his father, Prince Zhi, was not very talented in literature but was very proficient in martial arts. For so many years, he had been secretly called a reckless man. As a son, he really felt the same way.

Hong Xi, however, did not give in at all, and continued to add fuel to the fire, "The emperor values ​​all-rounders who are proficient in both civil and military skills. If someone is only proficient in martial arts, then what else is he but a reckless man? If you can't stand this, then defeat me once!"

"What did you say?"

…………

As they talked, their voices grew louder and louder, attracting everyone on the parade ground.

Seeing that Hongyu and Hongxi were about to get really angry, Yinzhen stepped forward to persuade them: "What are you doing? You are not attending the riding and archery class. Do you want to alarm the emperor who is far away in the frontier?"

"Fourteenth Uncle, Hongyu is too bullying. It was obviously him who provoked me first..." "He scolded me..."

The two of them refused to give in to each other and quarreled so fiercely that they were about to fight.

Yinzhen's forehead was bulging with veins, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and lectured, "Shut up! Hongxi, have you studied in vain for so many years? How can you say the word 'reckless man'? And Hongyu, Hongxi is your brother, brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other, have you forgotten all that?"

Hongxi and Hongyu's faces froze, they looked at each other and then glanced away with disdain.

"Look at this place, everyone. Not to mention the tutors, there are also quite a few guards, servants and palace maids. What? Don't you think the situation is not big enough? Hongxi, Hongyu, as the elder brothers, you should set a good example for your younger brothers. Do you want your cousins ​​to watch you fight?"

After saying this, Yinzhen shouted at the crowd that had gathered around him, "Enough, what's there to see? Just do what you need to do. Do you really need me to personally ask you to go back?"

The crowd of onlookers dispersed in an instant, leaving only the two boys who were still glaring at each other and the fourteenth prince Yinzhen who was trying to mediate.

One is the second son of the Crown Prince's second brother, the true eldest grandson of the emperor, and the other is the eldest son of the eldest brother. I can't say anything harsh to him!

Yinzhen sighed and said earnestly, "You two are so idle, are you taking advantage of the fact that your father, the crown prince, and your eldest brother are not here?

Hongxi, Hongyu, it doesn't matter if you have minor fights on a daily basis, as long as you don't cause any trouble in front of the master, no one will care how you get along. But you can't be so presumptuous, making a scene like this in public. Are you afraid that you won't alarm those masters far away in the frontier?

Just wait and see. Today’s events will surely reach the ears of the masters in the upper study room. If they know about it, then the Emperor will surely know about it too!”

"Uncle Fourteenth..." The two half-grown teenagers were unhappy. They were not afraid of the royal reprimand, but they were afraid of bringing trouble to their fathers' situations.

"If you hadn't made so much noise today, I wouldn't have meddled in your business. Well, I don't want to say anything else. Just be quiet for a few days. You can study hard instead of doing this!" Yinzhen said this and turned to leave. His nephews' riding and archery class was only halfway through, and he didn't have the time to continue tangling with these two nephews who were not very close to him.

At this time, Honghui had already watched the whole process, but he did not join in the fun to watch, because the targets were not far away from each other, and he could hear the general idea even if he stood still.

Those who dared to join in the fun were either the emperor's grandsons or companions of noble birth; the rest did not dare to step forward without permission!

After watching the whole excitement, Honghui felt that these two cousins ​​were spoiled. Considering their age, they had read a lot of books, but they acted without any sense of propriety and did not consider the consequences at all.

They have forgotten all about steadiness and caution, and are still so naive!

Honghui thought back to the past few months. Ever since he entered the upper study room in early February, his cousins ​​Hongxi and Hongyu had been making noises every now and then. From competing in all aspects to quarreling at any time and anywhere, he had become accustomed to it.

Fortunately, fortunately! The commotion caused by the two cousins ​​did not affect the introductory class.

As he was lost in thought and shooting arrows, the turmoil on the training ground gradually subsided.

Yinzhen looked at the arrow near the center of the target with satisfaction and praised him generously: "Well done, you have the demeanor of a great general! Even with such a commotion on the training ground, you can still shoot arrows with peace of mind, and you haven't been affected at all. You are worthy of being my nephew!" He glanced at the people who had gathered over to watch the fun. Honghui was the only grandson of the emperor who did not move.

"..." Honghui's face flushed slightly. He just stayed where he was and listened to the "excitement". It was not as exaggerated as his fourteenth uncle said.

“Honghui, don’t do the same as them. The most important thing is to study hard, practice martial arts and make progress. They have a good father. If Hongsheng from my third brother’s family had caused such trouble, he would have been severely reprimanded by the royal father!” As he spoke, Yinzhen’s voice gradually became lower, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

Honghui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and whispered in his ear: "Fourteenth Uncle, stop talking, the walls have ears, you can't say more! Besides, the Emperor Mafa is as perceptive as a candle, he knows everything, even if Fourteenth Uncle has complaints in his heart, he must never show them, whatever the Emperor Mafa does is right!"

Yinzhen looked back in surprise, with a hint of confusion and trance in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I know everything!"

After Honghui said this lightly, he took an arrow and placed it against the bowstring. Then he pulled the bowstring to its full extent and shot steadily at the center of the target.

Yinzhen stared at Honghui's profile in a daze. The face looked still very young, but he seemed to see a little shadow of his fourth brother and the emperor's father.

Is this the grandson of the emperor that the fourth brother has taught with all his heart? Even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, his face remains unchanged; even when a deer appears on his left, his eyes do not blink. Honghui is sometimes too calm and does not look like a six-year-old child.

Hongchun is only one year younger than him, but he seems like he is seven or eight years younger. Fourth brother is really enviable!

Just at this moment, Honghui jumped up and shouted "Good", and when he looked again, he found that he had hit the bull's eye again.

Yinzhen came to his senses and thought that he was overthinking. Looking at Honghui's jumping appearance, wasn't he still a child?

"Yes, your riding and archery skills have improved greatly..."

"Uncle Fourteen, can't the target be moved further away? It's meaningless even if we hit it from this close."

"No, your strength is there. If you are farther away, the arrow will not be able to hit the target."

"Hey~ Uncle Fourteen, please, isn't riding and archery a skill that can only be developed through daily practice? And I think the two-strength bow is not enough, how about changing to a two-and-a-half-strength one?"

…………

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the uncle and nephew left the training ground side by side.
