In just half a year, the prince was assassinated twice, and the old emperor decreed that the matter be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for investigation.But the last time the Yulin Army caught the victim, they hadn't found anything yet, and now the dancer died on the spot in the Xuande Hall, and Chu Yi didn't have much hope for it.

In the half month after the Dragon Boat Festival, Chu Yi took time to go to Chonghua Hall almost every day.Apart from the loss of blood, His Royal Highness was not seriously injured, so he only rested for a day or two, and then dealt with government affairs as usual.In terms of hard work and hard work, this His Royal Highness is even worse than Chu Yi, who had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. If he had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, perhaps he would not have let the rebels drive straight in.

Of course, it is meaningless to say this now, what is meaningful is that after the Dragon Boat Festival, Cheng Zian also received a reward from the old emperor.She rescued the prince in a critical situation, and she performed well, but unfortunately, she just turned fifteen, and she can only be regarded as a half-grown child, and she has the status of a companion, so the old emperor did not directly reward her. More just gave some precious utensils as rewards.

Neither Chu Yi nor Cheng Zian paid much attention to this.Compared with those precious artifacts, being able to show her face in front of the old emperor and His Royal Highness is actually more important. The so-called simplicity is in the emperor's heart. As long as the emperor and the prince remember her, she will not worry about her future.

The 25th year of the Dragon Boat Festival in Yanping passed in such a hurry, but the days after the Dragon Boat Festival did not calm down as quickly as Chu Yi and the others thought.Because Li Jun, the envoy of Yan State, came to help during the assassination at the dinner party that day, Chu Yi talked to him a few more words afterwards, but he was entangled by this man unexpectedly.

On the morning of the sixth day of May, as usual, Chu Yi took two companions to the study to listen to Taifu Zou's lecture. When he returned to Linzhi Hall for lunch at noon, he heard a report from the palace that Li Jun asked to see him—is he It is not very difficult for an ordinary envoy to enter the palace to seek an audience.

Chu Yi didn't like to see this person who suggested her sachet as soon as they met.But the current relationship between the two countries is still relatively harmonious, and there has been no war at the border for nearly ten years. Of course, it is not easy for her to offend Emperor Yan's favorite prince, so as to break such a good situation ahead of time, so after frowning in confusion, You can only let the palace people invite people in.

Li Jun changed into a moon-white robe today, he was already handsome, and he was used to appearing gentle and refined, this attire really made him look graceful.However, Chu Yi was also a former emperor, and because of his face control, he has seen such a handsome man a lot. Except for a few extra glances when he first entered the door, he was not attracted by his good skin at all. Bewitched.

"The envoy came to look for me today, but what's the matter?" Chu Yi didn't want to be wordy, so after Li Jun entered the hall, he exchanged a few simple greetings and then asked straight to the point.

Li Jun didn't seem to have expected Chu Yi to be so direct, so he held back all the words he was full of. He paused for a moment before replying: "There are some things that I want to trouble Your Highness, but I wonder if Your Highness has time?"

leisure?Of course not, since Chu Yi met those vassal kings in Chonghua Palace that time, he has arranged his daily schedule tightly.She tried her best to show her efforts to grow up, and gradually began to show her abilities. Not to mention Taifu Zou, even Xie Yunqing, who taught her riding and shooting, often marveled at her extraordinary talent, and His Royal Highness looked at her with the same eyes Satisfied day by day.

The reason was very legitimate, so Her Royal Highness shook her head unceremoniously, and said with regret: "The envoy has something to say, please speak up. I'm afraid I don't have any free time. I have riding and archery lessons in the afternoon, and I only have half an hour at noon. Time to rest."

"... Your Highness still has riding and archery lessons?!" Li Jun was obviously a little surprised.The Yan Kingdom favors martial arts, and the princes naturally have good skills, but for the princess, these are not required.Of course there are riding and archery classes, but if the princesses don't want to go, no one will take care of them at all, and it's not suitable as a reason for refusing, even if they decline, it will hurt people's face to find such a reason.

Chu Yi nodded solemnly, but said: "Of course. Brother Huang said that he would take me to the Royal Garden to hunt this year's autumn hunting. I promised to hunt some good leather for him to make a cloak. How can I break my promise and become fat? Not practicing riding and archery?"

After hearing this, Li Jun put away the surprise on his face, and said with disappointment: "I came to Chu State this time, I originally wanted to have some fun in the capital, but I am also a place of life here. I don't know him well, so I want to ask His Highness to accompany you. Now that His Highness is busy, I can't force you..."

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, secretly glad that he didn't agree before.Although she is not familiar with the capital, and although she likes the hustle and bustle of the capital, she has to be picky about things like this—since the country of Yan sent troops to the border in her previous life, she has no good impression of everything in the country of Yan, including the people in front of her. The Third Prince of Yan Kingdom!

Who knows that Chu Yi hadn't finished rejoicing, so he heard Li Jun continue: "I am not talented, but I have some experience in riding and archery martial arts. If Your Highness does not give up, I wonder if I can let you go with me?"

"..." What about the reserved reserve of the royal family?The third prince of the Yan Kingdom is really thick-skinned!

To refuse this kind of thing, on the premise that you don't want to offend the other party, you can do it once and never again.Chu Yi had rejected the other party's request for a sachet, and rejected the invitation to travel together in the capital, not to mention that he had rescued His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a crisis before, just to avoid offending others, it was hard for Chu Yi to continue to refuse.Otherwise, if she offends the prince and causes conflict between the two countries, the old emperor will not let her go first.

She frowned slightly, seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally agreed: "Well, let's go together. It's just that my ejaculation is not perfect. When the time comes, the envoy should not laugh at me."

*******************************************************************************

After all, Chu Yi is not a ten-year-old princess in the deep palace. She has somewhat understood Li Jun's careful thinking, but she is a little disdainful in her heart.On the way from Linzhi Hall to the East Palace school grounds, she found an opportunity to tell Cheng Zian that she would show off first when she arrived at the school grounds—not to mention, the Cheng family's ordinary people who can shoot arrows can't compare to them. At that time, Li Jun would probably lose his face and talk.

Sure enough, Li Jun followed Chu Yi and his party to the school grounds, and when he saw the target that was only fifty steps away, he raised his eyebrows, and unconsciously showed a confident look on his face, as if he was going to show off his skills in the next moment.

Li Lin also heard Chu Yi's explanation before, and he was more sensitive than Cheng Zian in many things, seeing Li Jun's confident look on his brows, he felt a little unhappy.He glanced at Cheng Zian, then said with a smile to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, there are guests with us today, and it would be too boring to practice riding and shooting as usual, why don't we have a competition and add some taste."

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and for the first time felt that Li Lin was pleasing to the eye.She nodded her head kindly, and said with a smile: "You are right, but I am not good at riding and shooting, so I can shoot at archery targets standing up. You and Zi'an should show off."

Li Lin's face froze for a moment, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes when he looked at Chu Yi.Although he can't be regarded as a playboy, he is really ordinary when he is with riding and archery.It's just for fun, compared with Cheng Zian, it exists to set off the other party!But the words have come to this point, he naturally has no reason to refuse, so he can only say: "Then Your Highness, I will make a fool of myself."

The two decided on the competition on their own. Neither Cheng Zian nor Li Jun objected. Li Jun even thought the proposal was good, and said, "I haven't exercised for a long time, why don't I join in the fun?"

Li Lin couldn't wait to drag him into the water, so he smiled and said: "That's just right, Your Highness won't participate in this competition, just the two of us are also very boring, and three or two arrows can be shot in less than half a cup of tea. Messenger Since we intend to end, it will be more lively if we all go together."

Chu Yi had already asked someone to lead the horse over. After thinking for a while, he asked someone to move the distant archery target back fifty steps. Then he turned around and smiled at the three teenagers beside him: "I don't have enough energy to use it. You have a strong bow, so the target is only fifty paces upright. But you are all skilled archers, and since it is a competition, the target is too close and everyone can hit it, so you can't tell which is superior gone."

Li Jun agreed very much when he heard the words. When he was in Yan Kingdom, Emperor Yan invited famous teachers to teach him, no matter whether he was civil or military.In addition, Yan Guo was originally a martial artist, and he also learned martial arts riding and shooting since he was a child. He thinks that he is no worse than others in this respect, even his eldest brother, the prince who is three years older, don't try to overwhelm him in this respect. .He didn't notice these two companions, and if he wanted to show off, he naturally wanted to win as beautiful as possible.

Li Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, but he felt that he would lose face today.He looked at the re-established target in the distance, thinking that he would definitely miss it anyway, so his heart started to boil again, and he said, "It's boring to shoot arrows on horseback like this, why don't you add something else? "

"What else should I add?" Chu Yi looked up at him.

Li Lin smiled, but didn't answer for a while, he just called a palace attendant who was waiting at the side, then took out a money bag from his bosom and took out a few copper coins, and handed it to the palace attendant to explain.The palace man quickly agreed, and ran away with the few copper coins.

After a while, a shelf was placed next to the archery target in the distance, and a crossbar was tied to the shelf. Several copper plates were hung on the crossbar with red wires, facing the archery target behind. red heart.

Seeing that everything was ready, Li Lin triumphantly pointed to the few copper coins and explained: "A hundred steps are the boundary. If the arrow only shoots through the center of the copper coin and then hits the red heart, it is considered a victory, otherwise it is considered a loss." !"

Is this too much fun? !Chu Yi also knew that Li Lin was probably unreliable, so he ignored him, only looked at Li Jun and Cheng Zian, and began to worry: If they all missed, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

The author has something to say: Li Lin (snorting coldly): I want to snatch a wife from my brother, I'll kill you for playing!
