The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

Qin Yu'an's back gradually became covered with cold sweat, and his forehead was wet and sticky, feeling a little uncomfortable. The emperor's gaze was like a sharp blade, determined to pierce him with holes.

The emperor's cold voice sounded: "Father is old and certainly can't pull the black bow. You go and try for me and make it more flexible."

At the end of the morning hunt, the emperor reviewed the top three as usual. The Prince of Yongning and the Attendant Scholar received their rewards and expressed their gratitude before leaving. The emperor left this inconspicuous prince alone.

Qin Yu'an raised his head with a look of surprise on his face, and his eyes could not hide the admiration for the emperor at all. The emperor sipped tea, staring at him with his cloudy eyes.

"Really, father?" Perhaps realizing that he was too excited and impolite, Qin Yu'an suppressed his inner desire and lowered his head again, "Your Majesty, I apologize to you. I have been in... the cold palace. All my skills were taught by the teacher in the academy. If I have not met your expectations, please don't blame me."

The boy looked shy and spoke cautiously with a trembling voice, expressing his fear and uneasiness of being a son who had always been ignored by his father and suddenly being valued.

The emperor put down the cup in his hand, his expression unclear: "You are still negotiating terms with me."

Qin Yu'an's eyes were slightly red, and he was so anxious that he almost cried, "I dare not."

Fortunately, the emperor did not embarrass him too much. He looked at him for a moment, then burst into laughter. His hearty laughter eased the awkwardness and silence in the venue. The other officials also caught their breath and began to compliment the emperor and the fifth prince.

Qin Yu'an's face turned red when he heard this, and his eyes fell on the corner of the emperor's bright yellow clothes.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Come here, bring me my black bow."

A tall man came out with a mahogany tray. Under the yellow cloth was the black bow mentioned by the emperor. This bow was used by the previous emperor to fight against the Northern Di. It was this bow that killed the enemy generals at a distance in the battle of Redwood Valley. The Northern Di were leaderless and their military discipline was in chaos. They were defeated by the Qin Dynasty. As a result, the Redwood Valley Treaty of non-interference was signed.

The man holding the bow was the now infamous Marquis of Yongchuan.

The late emperor gave the Black Xuan Bow to the Marquis of Yongchuan, who was in charge of the rear, and the morale of the army was high.

With one arrow shot, Marquis Yongchuan took advantage of the enemy's confusion and led a thousand elite troops to force back the Northern Di.

At that time, the Marquis of Yongchuan was only twenty years old and had just passed his coming-of-age ceremony. His father, the old General Zhenbei, had also passed away not long ago.

Qin Yu'an was shocked. Although he didn't know why Marquis Yongchuan was so extravagant and dissolute now, he was indeed an admirable general at that time.

Holding the shiny black bow, Qin Yu'an seemed to overlap with the former Zhenbei Army. He could hear faint shouts in his ears. The morale of the soldiers was high and they were determined to force back the arrogant invaders.

He pulled the bow, uncurled it, and aimed the arrow at the bull's eye in the distance. The boy's thin arms began to tremble, and veins bulged on his hands and forehead.

After half an arrow, the boy's arms could no longer be opened. The pressure increased to the extreme. The arrow fell lightly not far away, raising a cloud of dust.

The officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their foreheads. Only then did they realize that they had forgotten to breathe. Although His Majesty has not appointed a crown prince yet, the open and covert struggles among the princes have never stopped. The emperor is suspicious and tries in every way. If he makes a mistake, he will lose his head.

Qin Yu'an always knew that the emperor's eyes were on him. After his failure, he knelt down and confessed his crime, his face pale: "I am a mediocre son, please punish me, father."

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed, "My son is still young, and the black bow weighs a hundred dan, so it is understandable that he cannot fully open the bow. Even when I was in my prime, I could barely open it."

Qin Yu'an's eyes lit up: "Father is so awesome."

The fifth prince started studying very late and did not understand the pedantic words used by scholars. He always spoke simply and directly, and his eyes showed genuine respect and admiration. It was for this reason that the emperor looked at him differently.

"Okay, go down and claim your reward." The emperor seemed tired and waved his hand to let him go.

"Thank you, Father."

The scene of loving father and filial son hurt Concubine Xian's eyes. Her son was obviously the most powerful. If he had not encountered this evil jinx before, he would never have fallen into the icy lake and would not have become so stupid.

Bastard, just as despicable as his mother!

The virtuous concubine's eyes were filled with hatred, and her sharp nails almost shredded the handkerchief. At this moment, Qin Yu'an seemed to notice something and looked straight at her. The virtuous concubine had no time to hide the hatred in her eyes, and was caught red-handed, so she simply stopped hiding her murderous intentions.

Qin Yu'an ignored it and walked away.

A hand stretched out from behind Concubine Xian and pressed on her shoulder. The hand was extremely pale, with blue veins clearly visible, as if it had been dead for a long time.

The senior maid said expressionlessly: "My queen, calm down. You will still be pregnant with a dragon child."

The virtuous concubine couldn't help but touch her belly, her face twisted for a moment: "Yes! Only my child can be the crown prince!"

No one noticed that the senior palace maid beside Concubine Xian spoke before she moved her lips. Her eyes were deep, her pupils were larger than those of a normal person, and her expression was dull, cold and strange.

Qin Yu'an noticed the maid standing upright behind Concubine Xian from the corner of his eye, and he became suspicious. How could this man let a maid be so unruly?

The young man twisted the piece of paper in his palm and stuffed it against his chest. At the same time, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweaty hands carefully.

The master is here too.
