Chapter 39: Under the feet of the emperor, what are you! ...
The sky is getting darker, especially in the mountains and forests, it is more dim when it is blocked by trees.
Yun Zhi basically can't let go of the dead hand, most of them interrupt the other party's hands and feet, leaving a crippling life.
Sun Wanwan looked at him with deep eyes, put her hand into the quiver on the horse's back beside her leg, and drew an arrow feather to put it on the bowstring.
She hadn't seen a man with such skills for a long time, it would be great if she was on her side, but unfortunately she had to go against her.
Yun Zhi was entangled by the man in black, just in time for Sun Wanwan to shoot the dark arrow.
At the same time, her bodyguard slowly approached the thick tree behind him that could hide people while Yun Zhi's eyes were diverted.
She had a hunch that Shi Qing must be hiding there.
Shi Qing held his breath, his longbow was full, and when the opponent was about to approach him, he shot an arrow.
The arrow brushed through the air, facing the guard's right arm.
The guards reacted very quickly, dodging sideways.
However, the target of Shi Qing's arrow was not her at all!
The guard hid, and the arrow from Li Xian shot directly at Sun Wanwan's calf not far away.
Sun Wanwan was riding on the back of a horse, the longbow in her hand had been drawn, and the arrow was aimed at Yun Zhi in the crowd.
She was unprepared, her attention was on the bow and arrow in her hand, and there was no one around to protect her, which gave Shi Qing a chance.
The sound of the "boom"—
I heard screaming in pain.
Sun Wanwan was shot in the calf by an arrow, her hands trembled in severe pain, and the bow and arrows that had just been drawn all fell to the ground.
Sun Wanwan lost her balance and fell off the horse.
"Master!" The guard was shocked.
Sun Wanwan rolled in the grass, holding her calf with both hands, trying to draw an arrow but unable to do so, the veins on her forehead burst, she clenched her teeth and shouted sharply, "Leave me alone, kill her!"
The guard turned his head and quickly approached the back of the tree with a knife.
How could Shi Qing stay where he was?
She threw the night pearl into the grass behind the tree next to her, and the pearl was looming, like the luster of her accessories.
The guard's eyes narrowed, and he slashed into the grass with all his strength.
The moment she swung the knife and fell, another arrow of Shi Qing penetrated her right arm.
The time interval is too short, Shi Qing has no room to respond.
"Zheng" buzzing—
big.
Shi Qing almost brushed past the **** of death, his calf softened and he fell to the ground, his palms and back covered in cold sweat.
Even though the panel kept reminding her that time was running out, the impact was not as shocking as the moment she faced death.
Since she passed through the book, she took the literary examination and the imperial examination, and she never thought that there would be today.
Shi Qing grew up in the peaceful era of a flower gardener, and he could not overcome the obstacles in his heart, nor could he aim the arrow at the heart of people.
But when she stayed in the front line, no one thought of letting her go.
The guard had already gritted his teeth and pulled the arrow out of his arm, and in turn used it as a sharp-blade weapon to approach Shiqing.
Shi Qing stabilized his mind, picked up the bow and arrow with his backhand, and aimed the arrow at the opponent's thigh.
One arrow, two arrows.
Until the other party can't stand up and pose no threat to her.
Shi Qing's hand holding the longbow trembled slightly, but his eyes were extraordinarily firm, and the bowstring was fully drawn towards Sun Wanwan in the grass opposite.
If only one side can live, it must be her and Yun Zhi!
The arrow passed by, Sun Wanwan rolled on the spot this time, hid behind the tree, and shouted:
"Withdraw!"
The dozen or so people she brought with her had already damaged most of them, so Sun Wanwan had no choice but to call to retreat, and even the guard just now was covered and carried away.
In addition to the traces of fighting, there is nothing to see on the field.
Yun Zhi quickly walked towards the back of the tree, Shi Qing was sitting on the ground leaning against the trunk, holding the treasured scabbard he just threw.
"Scared me to death." Shi Qing let out a sigh of relief and looked up at him.
Yun Zhi raised his clothes and squatted in front of Shi Qing with a smile on his face. Seeing that she was not hurt, his eyes were clear, "Why are you so powerful."
He always felt that Shi Qing was very skilled, and like a tiger with embroidered pillows and paper, he needed his protection.
However, the arrow she hit Sun Wanwan just now saved him.
At that time, he was entangled by several people, and the guard who could use the dark dart was also there. If he was distracted, even if he avoided Sun Wanwan's dark arrow, he would be injured.
Once he's down...
"That's not right." Shi Qing's beating heart has slowly subsided, and he stretched his hand towards Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi was stunned, looked up at her suspiciously, and hesitantly handed over the sword in his hand, "Give it?"
Shi Qing patted the back of his hand, "I asked you to pull me, why did you give me the sword?"
"Are your legs weak?" Yun Zhi couldn't help laughing, and raised his eyebrows slightly to tease her, "Aren't you amazing just now?"
Shi Qing looked at him.
She is a civil servant, where have I seen such a scene.
Yun held Shi Qing's hand with his palm up and pulled her up from the ground.
The moment she put her fingers on his palm, Yun Zhi realized that Shi Qing's palm was cold, so he couldn't help but glance at her, but Shi Qing had already pulled his hand back.
Qian Huanhuan and two slightly injured guards retrieved the frightened horse that ran away and asked them, "Are you not injured?"
Shi Qing shook his head.
Qian Huanhuan and the guards around her handed over to her and Yun to perform a big gift, "Thank you for your life-saving grace."
If it wasn't for Yun Zhi and Shi Qing today, she would be buried here.
Shi Qing smiled and helped her up, "No need to thank you, just remember to give the money."
She and Yun Zhi have already been involved, and it is impossible to hide, so it is better to participate in and make a fortune.
“…”
Qian Huanhuan felt as if his emotions were hitting the cotton, he shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Okay."
Something like Shi Qing is great.
Take money to do things, simply and neatly, and will not take favors in return.
Do business or make friends with this kind of person, you can rest assured.
Yun Zhi bent down and picked up the night pearl from the grass and stuffed it into his arms.
When he handed the pearl to Shi Qing, he actually wanted her to use the night pearl to divert the enemy's attention and take the opportunity to escape.
Fortunately, Shi Qing is smart and knows what he means.
Yun Zhi wiped the blade clean with his sleeve and put it in the scabbard.
This trip is a near miss.
The three of them are the last to come back from all the out hunting, and also the least prey.
Qian Mu and Shi Ju both waited outside with expressionless faces, and their expressions softened slightly until they came back.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Mother Qian pressed down, frowning and reprimanding Qian Huanhuan.
Only two of the six guards were brought out, and the bloodstains of rebuttal could be seen on the hem of Qian Huanhuan's clothes by the light of the lantern and the fire.
Qian Cancan stood by the side and said impatiently, "It's good that my sister is back safely, so why be harsh."
"When I asked your sister-in-law, did you have the right to intervene?" Mother Qian looked at Qian Cancan sternly, "If she is as worthless as you, she is unworthy. She is the direct daughter of my Qian family, not worthy of being the daughter of my Shiyonghou mansion."
Qian Cancan's face was ugly, his jaw line was tight, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
Qian Huanhuan took the initiative to say, "It's all because of the daughter's lack of ability, which makes the mother worry."
She winked at Qian Cancan and shook her head slightly to signal her to keep quiet.
The two sisters stood in front of Mother Qian, each looking down at the toes of their shoes, letting Mother Qian scold them.
Shi Qing glanced over there and looked away.
"Aren't you hurt?" Shi Ju frowned and looked at the two.
Yun Zhi only had a little blood on the back of his shoes, while Shi Qing had more mud on his body.
"No injuries." Shi Qing said to Shi Ju, "I shot Sun Wanwan in the calf, I wonder if she came back?"
Shi Qing's eyes are bright, and her arrow is marked with her surname.
I have to see how Sun Wanwan explains it.
"Sun Wanwan came back half an hour ago, saying that she encountered a wild boar after entering the forest. After a fight, it escaped. Many guards brought by the Sun family were also captured by the wild boar. Even Sun Wanwan's calf was injured by pig teeth."
This is the explanation given by the Sun family.
"The emperor comforted him and gave him medicine." Shi Ju Yuguang looked towards the Qian family, his voice was very soft, "This is also the reason why Mr. Qian is angry."
Sun Qian's family met in the forest, and Qian's mother could not have known. She was angry that Qian Huanhuan failed to get the handle and lost four guards because of her lack of ability to do things.
Mr. Qian's requirements for the daughter-in-law are really severe to the point of harshness.
Shi Qing pouted, "Sun Wanwan is too embarrassed to make up nonsense."
If she shoots Sun Wanwan's ass, will the Sun family have to say that Sun Wanwan was eaten by a wild boar?
"You guys are all right," Shi Ju motioned to the two of them, "Go wash and change your clothes, the evening banquet is about to start."
Although Shiqing and the others hunted relatively few prey, there were always people who hunted more.
The emperor was very happy and rewarded a lot of things, "Don't be discouraged if you don't get the reward, today is just a small test, tomorrow is the time for you to show your skills."
The emperor sat on the throne in the center, next to the noble gentleman who accompanied him.
Because Shiqing's grade is relatively low, and it is a little farther from the front, I can't see Qian Guijun's appearance very well, only the clothes are luxurious and gorgeous.
The queen was not in good health, and the emperor left the palace with no one to decide, so he stayed in Kyoto and did not come.
In the entire harem, the emperor only allowed Qian Guijun to accompany him, and the enclosure case was also handed over to the daughter of the Qian family, which shows that the emperor valued the Qian family.
The only one who can stand up to the Qian family is Prime Minister Sun.
Prime Minister Sun and Mother Qian sat on the left and right of the emperor a little bit below, below the princesses and the eldest prince's family.
The one above is the king, and the one below is the minister.
Mother Qian looked up at Prime Minister Sun, as if she cared for the younger generation, "I heard that my daughter was injured by a wild boar, and I couldn't even attend the banquet tonight. Look?"
Prime Minister Sun was so terrified of blood that he failed to assassinate Qian Huanhuan and missed the best opportunity to get rid of Qian Huanhuan. Sun Wanwan was hit in the calf by Shi Qing's arrow.
The trusted doctor said that the arrow hurt the bone, and I am afraid that there will be some sequelae in the future.
A good daughter of her grandson family may be lame. How can she and Sun Wanwan accept it.
Both of them are foxes, so she doesn't believe that Mother Qian doesn't know what's going on inside.
Since she knew it and said it on purpose, it was obvious that she was here to mock her and sprinkle salt on her wound.
The next time I encounter it, I will be skinned, cramped, and smashed into thousands of pieces.”
The tone was indescribably chilly.
The eldest prince was sitting in the upper seat, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but care about Sun Wanwan's injury, and opened the topic
He raised his eyes to look at Qian Huanhuan sitting below Qian's mother's side, as if to ease the relationship, and talked about his plan to match Sun Lili and Qian Huanhuan.
Mother Qian didn't look at all, she lowered her eyes and raised the tea cup in front of her, looked at Qian Huanhuan sideways, and said, "The little girl has not yet established a career, I am afraid she is not worthy of the young son of the Sun family. Loving."
Prime Minister Sun also said, "Marquis Shiyong has a high vision, so it's normal to look down on my Li Li."
The two of them are destined to not be able to speak well today.
"Don't dare."
The emperor was just joking with your gentleman, and now he turned his attention to the following.
She raised her eyes and glanced at everyone, and said slowly, "Since there is nothing to do, let's have a feast."
After the emperor finished speaking, sitting at the very edge of the boundary between monarch and minister, a pale and frail woman stood up, "Mother emperor."
It was the fifth princess who spoke up. She was only eighteen or nineteen years old this year. However, her father's status was low and insignificant, which made it difficult for her to admire others in the palace. Although she is not in good health, she is lucky to be able to grow up so big in the harem as a princess.
The emperor looked at her, "Little Wu, is there something wrong?"
The five princesses smiled weakly, as if hesitant and cowardly, "My daughter heard that Shiqing's husband Yunzhi embroidered a good hand of peony, and wanted to ask for one as a birthday gift for her. Father."
She said softly, "I finally met today, so I wanted to go and ask."
The biological father of the five princesses has long since died, and the father and queen here can only be the Queen of the Middle Palace.
"Yunzhi." The emperor seemed to think for a moment, then suddenly said, "I remember, the son of the Yun family who is famous for his peony in Kyoto."
After Shi Qing was divorced by the Shen family, he turned his head and asked to marry him.
How could the emperor not know about such a lively thing, but she can't be too obvious.
"The queen has always liked these things, you have a heart."
The reason why Yun Zhi's peony is so hot in Beijing is that the queen's preferences account for a large part of the reason.
He once praised the peony embroidered by Yunzhi in public, saying that it is no different from real flowers and belongs to the treasures of the world.
The five princesses do not have a strong father's family as the backing, nor do they have too much financial support, so the queen's birthday gift cannot be given expensive things, so she has to work hard from her heart.
The emperor also understands.
The emperor looked into the distance, only then did he see Shi Qing and Yun Zhi who were sitting at the entrance of the tent in the long tent.
No way, among all the candidates to accompany the driver, the official position is the lowest, so they can only sit at the end.
She was quite at ease, she and Yun Zhi should eat and drink.
The emperor seemed to smile and pointed to the other side, "She and her husband are at the door, you can ask."
The Fifth Queen responded immediately: "Yes."
She was probably too excited and happy, and her mood fluctuated so much that she couldn't hold back the coughing twice, and her face was blushing morbidly.
Qian Guijun glanced at it, smiled and said to the emperor, "Why should Xiaowu's body let her go all the way, why don't you call Lord Shi over to ask."
"Since this is Xiao Wu's personal request, let her ask herself." The emperor patted your hand, "We don't need to worry about the young people."
The five princesses went down.
She is also a princess no matter how unpopular she is. Seeing her go to the door with a glass of wine, she has attracted a lot of attention.
Prime Minister Sun stood up and shouted softly, "His Royal Highness, where are you going?"
The five emperors smiled and said, "I have some personal affairs with the young adults, and the mother emperor promised."
"Then I'll accompany the Fifth Highness there," Prime Minister Sun picked up the glass and said with a smile, "Today, the emperor mentioned her in front of me, I haven't seen her officially, I just happened to go with you. have a look."
The five princesses hesitated a little, but Prime Minister Sun stepped out of the seat and reached out to her in a gesture of invitation.
"Good."
The five princesses walked in front, and Prime Minister Sun followed behind.
Shi Ju raised his eyes and looked over there, but said nothing.
Her position is not too far from Shi Qing, only a distance of three or five people.
When the two came over, Shi Qing was eating.
She was so far away that she didn't pay attention to what was going on in front of her. The most important thing was—
The rabbit was roasted really well today.
Yun Zhi looked at her and asked curiously, "You don't like rabbits?"
His sister likes it.
Don't look at his sister's arrogance in front of others, but in fact, she secretly raised a snow-white rabbit in her boudoir.
He felt that Shi Qing was also a girl, and he didn't hunt small animals when he was hunting, so he probably liked it, right?
"I like it." Shi Qing nibbled at the rabbit's leg and nodded heavily, "The little rabbit is so cute, of course I like it."
Yun Zhi raised his eyebrows, for some reason, his heart softened.
Until I heard Shi Qing continue to say, "In addition to the barbecue flavor, I also like braised and steamed."
She said, "As long as it's cooked, I don't pick it."
“…”
Yun Zhi was silent, handed the towel to her and let her wipe the oily claws.
He shouldn't compare her to the girls in his place.
"Hour lord."
After Shi Qing wiped his hands, he heard someone calling him. The voice was somber and soft, and he only held a half-breath, giving the impression of eyes ambushing in the dark.
Shi Qing got goosebumps.
She looked up and saw a man in a rather gorgeous dress standing in front of her.
The other party looks exactly the same as the emperor and the eldest prince, with a pair of phoenix eyes, obviously a royal.
It's just that the temperament of the first two is different from the strong temperament of the first two. The fifth princess is obviously weaker, and there is an indescribable literary and ill temperament on her body, which weakens the sharpness of the hyacinth and looks like a sick beauty.
Such a person, no matter how men or women look at them, can't help but help, they are not aggressive, and they do not pose a threat just by looking at them.
Especially in the palace, helping her can also increase her image of loving her sisters.
In addition to her, Prime Minister Sun also slowly stopped in front of her.
Shi Qing stood up and saluted the two of them.
"This is the fifth princess." Prime Minister Sun looked at Shi Qing.
"The lower officials see the princess."
The fifth princess raised her hand to help her, and said with a smile, "It's me who disturbed Mr. Xiao's Yaxing."
"It's just that I heard about the unique embroidery of peony embroidered by Mr. Yun, so I wanted to ask for one and present it as a gift on my father's birthday."
The fifth princess looked at Yun Zhi, and bowed her hand slightly to him, modestly and politely, "I don't know if it is inconvenient for Mr. Yun?"
Yun Zhi's back froze.
Why is there anyone other than Shi Qing who is thinking about letting him embroider?
Shi Qing lowered his eyes, picked up the towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, looked up and smiled at the Fifth Princess, "This matter—"
The five princesses looked at her with a smile.
Shi Qing smiled and said slowly and clearly, "It's not convenient."
The five emperors were startled, and the smile on her face froze.
"This is my husband, and I am married to a bright matchmaker who carries a large sedan chair and ten li in red makeup. The eldest prince's officiating is something that the whole capital knows about, and it is no longer the young son of the Yun family who lives by embroidery. ," Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "So, it's inconvenient."
The five emperors had a faint smile on their face, raised her hand to her lips and coughed twice.
The sitting Yun Zhi quickly took the rabbit in front of him away and kept away from her.
Shi Qing obviously hasn't eaten enough.
“…”
The eyelids of the five emperors twitched, and she didn't know what to express for a while, "I was reckless, I thought that the master was famous for embroidery when he was a son, and calling him son Yunzhi would show respect, Here is where I am inconsiderate."
Shi Qing let out an "oh", but he couldn't tell if he believed it.
Prime Minister Sun said coldly to the Shi family, his wife and husband, "Shi Qing, this is the fifth emperor's daughter."
Shiqing knew it, and then asked innocently, "Did the emperor say that I can't refuse? I can't bear my husband's embroidery, is there any problem with his eyes? Which law expressly stipulates that my husband will Do you have to embroider peonies for the Fifth Highness?"
"It's not for me, it's for the queen." The fifth princess spoke weakly.
"Even the queen didn't call her name and said she wanted Yunzhi embroidery? Since it's your heart, wouldn't it be more heartfelt if you embroidered it yourself?"
Shi Qing persuaded her, "Your Highness, courtesy is light and affectionate, every stitch and thread is filial piety, what do you think?"
Don't you want peony? Embroider it yourself!
If you don't embroider, you will be dishonest and unfilial.
The five emperors tightened their hands in their sleeves and looked sideways at Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi's sleeves covered the rabbit meat, looked up at Shi Qing, "I listen to her."
Shi Qing's previous sentence "I have the final say at home" can be considered useful, such problems can be pushed to Shi Qing.
Shi Qing showed a smile in his eyes, raised his eyebrows and gave Yun Zhi a look of approval.
The two of them were "showing affection" in public.
The five princesses looked disappointed, laughed bitterly and laughed at themselves, and said again, "My request was too rude, and I disturbed the two of them to eat."
She coughed and walked back.
Seeing her past with a smile on her face, and seeing her coming back with a lost face, everyone knew that Shi Qing definitely rejected the request of the fifth princess.
I just don't know if this rejection is because the husband is more protective of the husband, or the five emperors are not much.
After all, among all the princesses, the fifth princess is the one who looks the least hopeful.
She left, but Prime Minister Sun did not.
She looked at Shi Qing with a smile, which was meaningful, "Sir Hou is not only bloody, but also a little tough."
It was a compliment, she said it like a demeaning irony.
Shi Qing smiled and cupped her hands and said, "That's not as brave as your daughter, who dares to hunt wild boars, and don't look at the difference in strength with pigs."
Does this mean that Sun Wanwan is worse than a pig?
Prime Minister Sun's face turned cold and his jaw tightened.
Even at a young age like Shi Qing, it's rude to dare to talk to her like this!
Shi Qing is not only daring and has no "rules", she is also very curious, "I have never seen a wild boar's wound in my life, I don't know that it makes it inconvenient for the woman to visit, I will go to grow up tomorrow. experience."
Prime Minister Sun squeezed the wine glass to see Shi Qing.
Has she not seen? How could she have never seen the arrow shaft inserted into Sun Wanwan's calf, clearly engraved with the word "shi" in Shiqing!
"Young adults are new to officialdom, and you don't understand many things. The old woman advises you to watch more, listen less, talk less and do less. You don't have to be curious everywhere, it will kill people. Why bother with something that has nothing to do with you?"
She meant something, what she said was to save Qian Huanhuan today.
Shi Qing nodded, then asked, "Do you want to take care of it?"
In order to please Prime Minister Sun, a minister next to him said, "Shi Qing, pay attention to the tone of your speech to the Prime Minister."
Shiqing followed his good manners and asked, "Do you want to take care of me?"
“…”
One sentence blocked two people.
"Do I need you to teach me what to do?"
Shi Qing threw the towel to wipe his mouth on the table, "You yourself are a model of lax family governance, so you have the nerve to take care of me."
"If it's useful to listen to you, why is Sun Lili being grounded? Sun Wanwan, she has the ability, don't be bullied."
"You are so powerful, you teach me how to be a man. May I ask what your identity is?"
"If you are an elder, you are not strict with your family, and my mother is also here today, you are afraid that you are not qualified?"
"Are you dissatisfied with her or do you think I, the imperial censor, should not tell the truth?"
"Xiaguan advises you to have this spare time, why don't you teach Sun Wanwan how to beat pigs."
"The ability is so great that I was humiliated by pigs, and I laughed to death."
The Inspectorate of this dynasty was directly ordered by the emperor, even the prime minister was not qualified to tell Shi Ju that she did not do well.
Prime Minister Sun's face was dark when he was choked by Shiqing's words, he lowered his voice, stared at her and shouted slowly, "Shi, Qing."
The threat is palpable.
Shi Qing glared back, "What's the matter, you still want to scare me? Just rush these two words and I'll have to use your book to threaten officials tomorrow morning!"
"When the time comes, let's see if Sun Wanwan has more legs or if I have more folds."
Dare to threaten her?
Bah!
Under the feet of the emperor, what are you!
