The Paranoid Prince is pretending to be pitiful again [Transmigration Book]

"Well, Shi Jue said that you are not good at riding and shooting?"

"Yes, just learned."

Xie Shiqian nodded and said, "It's okay, I won't play today, and when Shi Jue plays, you can follow me to watch, okay?"

Xie Shijue winked at Xie Shiqian, but he just pretended not to see it.

Duan Xingyu didn't pay attention to these, but obediently agreed.

Duan Xingyu was very pleasing, and the crown prince loved him very much, so he couldn't help but say a few more words to him, "Do you want to learn how to ride and shoot?"

"Brother!" Xie Shijue couldn't help but interrupt him, "Don't you need to chat with other young masters..."

Duan Xingyu pulled his sleeve from behind, but Xie Shijue still looked dissatisfied.

"Hahaha~" Xie Shiqian felt very amused, "Okay, I'll go, you guys go play for a while, I'll go over there and have a look."

As soon as the prince walked away, a group of people immediately surrounded him.

Duan Xingyu still looked at the direction he left, until Xie Shijue tugged at his sleeve, "Is my brother pretty?"

Duan Xingyu couldn't hear the sour taste in it, so he just nodded according to what he thought in his heart.

"You..." Xie Shijue was very anxious, and began to regret letting Duan Xingyu see his brother, and he blurted out when he thought of something in a panic, "My brother already has a princess, and they have a very good relationship. "

Duan Xingyu didn't know why he said this suddenly, but felt inexplicable, "Well, I know."

When he was a child, a certain princess liked him very much. Every time she entered the palace, she would pester him, and even said that she would be his princess when she grew up. But one day, she stopped pestering him, and he was happy and at ease.

It was only later that I heard that the princess saw His Highness the Crown Prince and clamored to marry him.At that time, he didn't think it was a big deal, but now that he thinks about it, he has a bit of a taste. He knows that he is not as good as his elder brother, and he is also afraid that Duan Xingyu will fall in love with the prince.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to be such a talkative person."

"Then do you like him?"

"Like?" Duan Xingyu frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about what Xie Shijue said, and he finally said, "Not really, but I think he is very friendly, he must be a good brother, right?" ?”

Hearing him say brother, Xie Shijue breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah. He's fine, just follow me and call him big brother."

The riding and archery competition is about to start, Xie Shijue and Duan Xingyu said, "I will watch with my elder brother later. The Western Regions have paid tribute to a white deer king, and my elder brother will reward this riding and archery competition." The winner of the competition must win both horse riding and archery, you wait for me to win it for you."

Xie Shijue brought him to the prince's side, and said something to the prince before going to the archery range.

Xie Shijue wasn't there, the prince didn't tease him anymore, and Duan Xingyu just stood by obediently.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

Duan Xingyu heard a familiar voice, but when he turned around, he was a little surprised that Lu Mingxi had also come.

The crown prince has never met Lu Mingxi before, but he already has the answer, "Excuse me. Are you Mingxi from Duke Lu's mansion?"

Lu Mingxi got up and replied, "Exactly."

The prince nodded slightly, "Yes. Your brother has already told me."

Lu Mingxi glanced at Duan Xingyu and smiled slightly.

When his mother mentioned that matter earlier, he felt a little uncomfortable seeing Lu Mingxi now, Duan Xingyu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mingxi, you are here too."

"Hmm! I asked my brother to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to let me come and learn more." Lu Mingxi whispered to Duan Xingyu, and then looked at the Crown Prince somewhat restrained, "Your Highness, can I watch my brother's game here? "

The crown prince glanced at Duan Xingyu, and smiled inexplicably, "Of course it's possible."

He looked at Xie Shijue who was cleaning his bow and arrows on the field, the corners of his mouth raised.

Duan Xingyu didn't dare to act recklessly in front of the crown prince, Lu Mingxi was also quiet, and they all focused on the field.

Archery is divided into two rounds. In the first round, each person shoots ten arrows, and the one with the highest hit rate wins. In the second round, when riding on a horse and using a moving target, the player with the same high hit rate wins.

Xie Shijue learned archery from Xie Shiqian since he was a child, but it was not difficult for him. Once the magistrate ordered him, he would draw the arrow, draw the bow, and shoot the arrow in one go.His movements are smooth and flowing, without hesitation, as if he is just doing simple daily movements of eating and drinking, but ten arrows clearly hit the bull's-eye.

The audience cheered continuously.

"Cousin, the Ninth Prince is really amazing~" Lu Mingxi praised.

"En." Duan Xingyu's eyes were filled with admiration, and the memory of Xie Shijue holding his hand behind him that day, teaching him how to hold a bow, how to stand, and how to shoot an arrow appeared in Duan Xingyu's mind.

The winner of the first round was undoubtedly Xie Shijue, the rest of the young masters were also selected one in a hundred, and Qiu Hongzheng was also selected, but it took longer than Xie Shijue.Lou Zhimei misses an arrow.

Then there is the second scene, this one is a moving target, the moving target will appear from behind the fixed target, and the archer must remain still in one position, and it is unknown when the moving target will appear and from which fixed target will appear , so that the difficulty is greatly increased, and the one with the least time wins.

This is precisely another big difficulty. The palace people hold the moving target and run from one target to another. If they are not paying attention, they will miss it.

Xie Shijue learned blindfolded archery when he was young, so hitting the bull's-eye is not difficult, as long as he can quickly know where the target appears from.

Xie Shijue stood in the middle of the circle of targets, took out a silk scarf from his clothes, and tied it over his eyes.

"Cousin, why is the Ninth Prince blindfolded?" Lu Mingxi exclaimed next to Duan Xingyu's ear.

Duan Xingyu didn't know how to shoot arrows, so he just felt that this rule was too difficult for him. He shook his head, but saw the prince looking calmly at the field with a smile on his face.

Duan Xingyu also inexplicably felt a little relieved, he paid attention to the movement on the field.

Some people have already started to panic and shoot arrows indiscriminately.Duan Xingyu's eyes fell on Xie Shijue who was blindfolded.The man's waist is tall and straight, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, ready to go.As soon as the moving targets around him appeared, he slightly turned his body angle, released an arrow, and hit the red heart.

"it is good!"

"It's amazing!"

"As expected of the Ninth Prince!"

There were cheers at the scene, but Xie Shijue just took off the silk scarf lightly, looking around for something, and after confirming Duan Xingyu's position, he stepped forward.

But before he reached Duan Xingyu, he was stopped by a servant, who Duan Xingyu recognized as someone from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Xie Shijue frowned slightly, and followed the man away.

Duan Xingyu felt uneasy in his heart.

The crown prince sent someone over to check what happened, and said to Duan Xingyu, "Don't worry, he will ride a horse later, maybe he should go get ready first."

Duan Xingyu nodded, but felt uneasy for some reason.

Just now Lu Mingxi had already resigned first, apart from the prince's father-in-law and guards, there were only the prince and Duan Xingyu here.

"What do you think of his performance just now?"

Duan Xingyu said without hesitation, "Very good."

"He didn't like to play with other children since he was a child, but he liked to learn horseback riding and archery from me."

"It turns out that his archery was taught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His archery must be even more outstanding." Although Duan Xingyu was praising the Crown Prince, his tone was not flattering, but just a statement a fact.

This made the prince who never liked flattery feel disgusted, he shook his head, "My archery is not as good as Shi Jue, he is more talented than me."

The prince smiled, but said again, "He doesn't like to play with other children, and then he wanted to make friends with people for the first time, but he was rejected by them."

Duan Xingyu knew who he was referring to, so he just followed his words, "How could it be?"

"Yeah, how could it be?" The prince looked at Duan Xingyu, his eyes were full of inquiry, "Actually, I can't figure it out..."

I can't figure out why Duan Xingyu has been rejecting Xie Shijue since he was a child.

I couldn't figure out why Xie Shijue wanted to be nice to Duan Xingyu from the first day he met him.

I can't even figure out why after a few years, my younger brother still fell on the person in front of me who didn't even care about him.

Perhaps the prince's eyes were too strong, Duan Xingyu sensed what he was thinking, so he asked in confusion, "Prince Hall...Brother...what are you thinking?"

His big brother call brought back the prince's thoughts. The prince focused his attention and saw Duan Xingyu's eyes were clear, looking straight at him openly. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that his younger brother was also "bewitched" by his harmless appearance. "Are.

This bewitchment is not derogatory, but the prince wants more and more such a younger brother.

But what he cares most about is his younger brother's emotions and lifelong happiness, and only Xie Shijue is in Duan Xingyu's heart, so that he can be completely at ease.

He had to help his younger brother take a good look.

He tentatively said, "I was thinking... I wonder if you have someone you like?"

Duan Xingyu didn't expect the prince to ask this question at all. He opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say, so he just shook his head in the end.

"No?"

He didn't like Xie Shijue at all?Still unwilling to say?No matter which one it is, it is not a good situation. The prince sighed lightly and shook his head again, "It seems that I have acted too hastily."

"what?"

"Forget it," the crown prince looked at the young masters leading their horses one after another, "the horse riding competition is about to start, let's go too."

Duan Xingyu couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up and follow the prince to another arena.

There were many people Duan Xingyu knew on the field, Qiu Hongzheng, Cai Yujun, and Lou Zhimo were all there, but Xie Shijue was the only one missing.Although Cai Yujun was average in riding and shooting, he also joined in the fun. At this time, he saw Duan Xingyu and waved vigorously to him.

Duan Xingyu also waved at him, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart.What about Xie Shijue?
