I ate soft rice in those years

Chu Xiuyan lifted Chu Wenlin's collar with his fingers, reached inside, and pulled his clothes off his shoulders.

Chu Xiuyan leaned his head against his shoulder and kissed his collarbone.

Chu Wenlin raised his head to feel the wetness on his skin, and suddenly remembered something, "I still have to go to the pavilion today."

Chu Xiuyan raised his head and whispered in his ear: "Someone has already asked for leave for you."

Hearing this, Chu Wenlin was silent for a moment, "...Your Majesty is really clever."

Chu Xiuyan seemed to laugh, and all his breath fell on his sensitive neck, which was extremely hot.

-

It wasn't until dusk that there was a knock on the door outside, and Chu Xiuyan sat up, and pulled up his underwear along his round and fair shoulders, through the gap, he could vaguely see traces of ambiguity inside.

He casually put on a robe, picked up a hair tie to tie up his hair, and walked out of Qingyunzhai.

"Qin Zhongli is already awake." Zheng Yue followed behind him and said in a low voice, "It's in the courtyard."

Chu Xiuyan slightly raised his chin, "Go and see."

When he entered, Qin Zhongli was drinking medicine, and when he saw Chu Xiuyan coming, he got up and bowed, "Thank you for saving my life, my lord."

Chu Xiuyan sat on the side, scrutinized his expression, "You know who sent it."

"Yes, the person who came at that time was probably the eunuch next to the queen." Qin Zhongli straightened up, "It's Zhongli's fault that Miss Chu was involved this time."

"This time I'm here to tell you about it." Chu Xiuyan turned the finger on his thumb with a confused expression, "I will continue to help you, but there is a condition that needs to be attached."

Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became tough, and his eyes looked at Qin Zhongli like sharp knives, "I want you to marry Chu Shuhua."

Qin Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and felt a cold sweat on his back when he looked at him like that, "This, I'm afraid Miss doesn't want to."

Chu Xiuyan narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his eyes, and looked at him aggressively. Although he didn't speak, Qin Zhongli understood what he meant.

As long as he says no, Qin Zhongli will always be just a side relative of the Chu family, not a prince surnamed Yan.

Qin Zhongli lowered his head, his tone was affirmative, "Zhongli is naturally willing."

"In a few days, there will be an archery competition, you should prepare well. Only if you are stronger than Yan Yufeng, you are eligible to compete."

After leaving the remote area, Zheng Yue was a little puzzled, "Now the empress sees Qin Zhongli as a thorn in her side, if she shows off again, I'm afraid..."

Chu Xiuyan shook his head slightly, and walked back towards Qingyunzhai, "The more eye-catching something is, the more people will peep at it, but the less likely it will be taken down."

Knowing that Chu Shuhua was safe and sound, the old lady was relieved. Second Master Chu was really in poor health and couldn't stand the torment, and the old lady didn't even dare to let anyone tell him.

"Hey, how come we Shuhua have so many disasters, just like your father." The old lady sighed while holding her granddaughter's hand, "You must go to the temple with me to worship the Bodhisattva someday."

Chu Shuhua smiled lightly, "Grandma, am I okay?"

The old lady suddenly thought of something, so she straightened her face, "But I have to ask you, why did you go to Qin Zhongli's yard. Now there are gossips about you again outside, when did you child be so careless?"

"I..." Chu Shuhua did not dare to say that he was courting the future prince, so he lowered his head.

"If you are really in love with that kid, you can tell me." The old lady lowered her voice, "Your Majesty has sent someone to pass the message, and Qin Zhongli has already accepted it. He is also second in the list after all, and he is a good match for you." .”

Chu Shuhua looked at the colorful phoenix on the brocade quilt, and was silent for a while.

"If you don't want to..."

"Yes." Chu Shuhua raised his head. It would be better to marry Qin Zhongli. Love can change easily, but status and status can't.

Soon, news spread that Chu Shuhua and Qin Zhongli were about to get married, and the gossip outside became less.

In fact, logically speaking, Qin Zhongli can be regarded as a leader among the people. Although he is not a good match with Chu Shuhua, he is also suitable, not to mention that he is now receiving the grace of God and is very beautiful.

Since ancient times, the art of archery has been used to select talents, and those who are capable have both six arts, and archery is one of them.

There is a three-year competition, and if you win, you will be rewarded. Naturally, you will be appreciated and thus promoted.

The archery competition was arranged on a day of spring and Jingming, in the Wanchengyuan campus, which is a hundred miles away from the capital.

The emperor, queen and prince sat on the high platform, and the officials sat on the side platform, and Chu Wenlin was also inside.

Compete in pairs and choose the winner.

Qin Zhongli made it all the way to the last round.

Yan Bianzong looked at Qin Zhongli in the audience, clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction, the queen next to him saw it, and said to Yan Yufeng beside him: "Don't you also want to try?"

"My son?" Yan Yufeng looked at his mother suspiciously. He didn't know when he said this, but when he saw her look over, he immediately got up, "Yes, my son will go down immediately."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Yan Bianzong glanced at Yan Yufeng, as if he didn't care much, "If you want to embarrass yourself, don't go down."

The queen laughed, "How will you know if you don't try it, Your Majesty. Just treat it as a discussion, and don't take it too seriously."

Yan Bianzong snorted coldly.

After Chu Xiuyan rescued Qin Zhongli last time, Yan Bianzong sent people to protect him, so the queen was at peace.She knew Qin Zhongli's identity earlier than herself, and the first thing she did was to kill Qin Zhongli. She was as cruel as a snake and scorpion. He would definitely get rid of her and her father one day.

Yan Yufeng walked down, but saw Chu Wenlin on the way, and stopped immediately.He failed to kill him last time, but was reprimanded by his father and imprisoned for dozens of days. This time, he wants to teach him a lesson and destroy his power.

"Chu Wenlin, you go with me."

Chu Wenlin raised his head and saw Yan Yufeng's haughty look, so he wanted to refuse, "Weichen, a civil servant—"

"Civilian officials have Wenjian, or do you not want to?" Yan Yufeng raised his eyebrows, but his tone sank.

Chu Wenlin looked away, secretly said: Yes, I don't want to.

But in the end, because of his power, he stood up and accepted his fate, took the bow and arrow and walked into the school grounds.

When he arrived in the arena, Qin Zhongli had already won the first prize over another person, and when he saw the two walking slowly, he clasped his palms together and saluted, "Prince."

"Get up. I'm here to compete with you." Yan Yufeng didn't know Qin Zhongli's identity at this time, and he had no interest in him. "Well, we only compete once. If you see the target in the middle, shoot that one." .”

The shooting target in the center is the farthest one in the field, and only a silhouette can be seen standing here.

The three stood in the same line, raised their bows and arrows, and the long arrow was placed on the right side of the bow. The three thumbs pulled the string and pulled it back into a full moon shape.

Everyone watched their movements with bated breath, only to see that the tight bowstring was loosened in an instant, and they stabbed out fiercely with the arrow.

The sharp blade of the arrow pierced through the air and shot straight to the bull's-eye.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing up the yellow sand all over the sky, and there was a sound of gong beating.

Yan Yufeng has been trained since he was a child, and his shooting skills are not bad, and Qin Zhongli is naturally perfect as the hero.

So the result is that Yan Yufeng and Qin Zhongli's arrows were shot at the center, while Chu Wenlin's arrows were at the edge.

Seeing this, Yan Yufeng was satisfied, and looked at Chu Wenlin with sarcasm in his eyes, "Is this the only skill?"

Chu Wenlin only said two words, "Ashamed."

Yan Yufeng taunted him again, turned his head to see Qin Zhongli, but raised his chin at him, and said in praise: "You are pretty good."

"..."

Chu Wenlin shook his head in silence, feeling that he shouldn't have any expectations of the prince's head.

Qin Zhongli raised the corners of his mouth, and replied with a deep smile, "Thank you, Prince, for your compliment."

The archery competition was over, and Chu Wenlin and other contestants received Yan Bianzong's reward in the arena. It can be seen that he is in a good mood, and he is probably very satisfied with Qin Zhongli's son.

Before leaving, Qin Zhongli looked at him with a smile on his eyes, "You probably have more than that."

He knew in his heart that it was more meaningful to stand out and take risks than to hide clumsiness, because this trip was to attract Yan Bianzong's attention, and Chu Wenlin didn't need it, as long as he was ordinary, it was enough.

Chu Wenlin glanced at him, and said in a flat tone, "You think too much."
