Chapter 403
Chapter 403
All the way out of Fengqi palace, the prince seems calm, but in fact he is still upset.
Walking to the imperial garden, two small eunuchs were whispering there.
"Your Highness the king of Jin asked your majesty to test martial arts at the school."
"His Highness the king of Jin is said to have excellent martial arts. In those days, his majesty personally taught him to ride a horse and shoot arrows."
"I really want to see his Highness the king of Jin."
"Forget it, you'd better be honest and take care of the flowers here."
The prince's face was overcast on the spot. Seeing that it was bad, Chen Qi quickly stood up and dispersed the two little eunuchs.
"Your Highness."
"Let's go to the school to see how strong brother Gu Huangdi's martial arts are."
As soon as I entered the school yard, I heard cheers.
Emperor Xi sat on the stage and watched. There was a large venue under the stage. The king of Jin was dressed in a royal blue embroidered gold thread, shining brightly in the sun, and the black horse under his crotch galloped and leaped in the field. The king of Jin rode on the horse like walking on the ground, opened his bow and took arrows. Almost in the blink of an eye, there were several arrows on the target.
"Good!"
Emperor Xi stood up and shouted.
The guards of the imperial guards on one side agreed one after another, which showed that there was a lot of noise in the field.
"The prince is here, too?"
The prince hurried forward to salute. Emperor Xi shouted and said, "prince, come and see your younger brother."
The prince went to Emperor Xi and looked into the field from the stage. He had a gentle smile on his face and a fist under his sleeve.
After shooting a barrel of arrows, the king of Jin drove his horse to the stand.
"My father, my son's riding and archery have not retreated?"
Emperor Xi said with admiration, "there is no retreat, very good, very good."
The king of Jin was already full of heroism. At this time, a bright smile made him more dignified.
In contrast, the prince standing on the stage is a lot bleak.
The prince's martial arts are good, but his archery is not good. When he was a child, he didn't know how many times he was compared with the king of Jin by Emperor Xi. Therefore, he changed his face when he heard the comments of the two little eunuchs just now. When he came here, he saw the king of Jin making a big show, which made him bite his teeth.
There are several fools who can serve the Holy Lord. When compared with the two, the crown prince is inferior.
"I'm relieved there. When I was granted the land, my children and ministers studied hard and practiced hard for fear that they would step back and disappoint my father and Emperor." the king of Jin said, looking at the prince, "is the Royal brother coming down to try? It's rare that my father and Emperor are happy today. Our brothers should all be happy."
This sentence has the meaning of putting the prince on the fire. Come to the end. The prince still knows his shortcomings. If he doesn't come to the end, what will the father think of him?
This damn king of Jin!
Emperor Xi returned to his seat and sat down. He picked up the tea. "Will the prince have a try?"
"Son minister..."
Seeing the hesitation on the prince's face, Emperor Xi's face became cold.
The prince gritted his teeth, "my son is willing to try."
As soon as he said this, the prince relaxed. He turned his head and smiled at the king of Jin and said, "brother Huang, you can't compare your archery since childhood. You should be merciful at that time."
This is meaningful. Everyone knows that the king of Jin has excellent archery. The king of Jin offered to compete with the prince in archery. Didn't he do it on purpose? Even if you win, people will argue that you can't win. Similarly, even if the crown prince loses, he has been vaccinated in advance.
I have to say that all the Royal people are not simple. There are countless pits behind any word.
The people in the field looked at the king of Jin and saw him meditate for a moment with an apology on his face. "It's my younger brother's thoughtlessness. In order to avoid losing the victory, why don't you choose a comparable one?"
The prince was relieved to see that the king of Jin was so wise.
What can be compared?
Someone in the Imperial Guard interposed, "why don't you two princes compete to bow?"
