Emperor's Trophy

However, Yunzhen was still picked up by the eunuchs of Tiren Palace every day after class, and if he wanted to make friends, it was really impenetrable and he couldn't get in.

It wasn't until Ji Bingyuan left the palace to go to the Xishan Spring Festival that day that he had no time. Yun Zhen and Zhu Jiang went to the dining hall of the school after class that day.

The dishes served in the dining hall are all the same steamed vegetables, such as deer tendon and shark's fin soup, cold shredded chicken, red date Sifu soup, steamed mutton, steamed chicken, but Yunzhen's side is different, and they serve a lot of them one after another The plate is full of green and pleasant stir-fried fresh vegetables and several kinds of cold noodles, and there is a cup of milky white tofu fish soup, which looks refreshing and appetizing, with a tangy aroma.

Undoubtedly, some members of the clan were dissatisfied with seeing it, so they ordered the steward of the canteen, and ordered stir-fried seasonal vegetables by name.

The head of the canteen lowered his head and whispered, "Master Yun didn't serve meals from the canteen, but from the imperial dining room. It is said that the emperor gave an explanation before he left."

Ji Huaiqing heard it from the side, and laughed, full of contempt, but didn't say anything.

Yun Zhen naturally heard it, but he didn't change his face. He just lowered his head and pulled Zhu Jiang to eat, not paying attention to anyone.

However, Ji Huaiqing commented loudly: "Speaking of which, Gao Zu was very brave and admired the generals who fought together in the world. No matter men or women, no matter where they came from, all high-ranking officials rewarded them with generous salaries. It's a pity that the martial arts style is gradually disappearing. Some The general’s son is also like a big girl, he dare not even take the bow and horse class, hahaha—of course, maybe he is talented in writing, anyway, he will not take the imperial examination, so I will ask the master to write a few poems in the future Poetry is also considered a talent.”

What he said was directly satirizing Yun Zhen who couldn't take the bow and horse class, but Yun Zhen didn't move his brows, just lowered his head and ate.Zhu Jiang was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, but seeing Yunzhen's calm face, she thought about it, but realized that it wasn't a time for a gaffe. Those were all nobles of the royal family, although most of them were still young. There is no title, but it will be a matter of time, not to mention that among these people, a future prince is likely to be born.

Zhu Jiang frowned, slightly angrily fished out the chopped green onion, ginger, and medlar from the fish soup, and then handed the clean milky white soup to Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen took it naturally and drank it down.

Many people were secretly observing Yun Zhen's reaction, and then they couldn't help being stunned when they saw Yun Zhen's calm and peaceful day, but they didn't expect that Xiao Zhao Xinhou, at a young age, could hold his breath , many people began to estimate this Zhao Xinhou again.

Of course Yunzhen is not not angry, but he has been angry in his previous life, and even had a fight with Ji Huaiqing, which turned the school upside down. At that time, Ji Bingyuan rewarded each of them with twenty boards, and then made him kneel in the study for punishment reflect.

When he was punished to kneel down, Ji Bingyuan came over and said a few words to him. Yun Zhen was still young at the time and didn't understand, but now after two lives of death, he suddenly understood.

"Your mother is indeed from a reckless background, but she is far superior to many men. She led the army in battle, made countless achievements in battle, and won honors that many men can't get. Do you know why she chose your father to marry?

"why?"

At that time, Ji Bingyuan's voice was calm and concise: "Because Yun Tanhua is beautiful and talented, and has a gentle temper, no matter whether she has a child or a daughter, she will look good and not be too stupid."

When he heard this at the beginning, he only felt that he was a little contemptuous of his biological father, but he is a monarch, so of course he can see nothing.

Looking back now, it's a pity that he was too dull.

Ji Bingyuan's tone at that time was not ridiculed, ridiculed or insulted, it was very calm, as if teaching him a truth.

Just as a man can choose a beautiful, virtuous and gentle lady and the mother of his future child, a powerful woman can of course choose the best father for her future child.

Only the strong side is eligible to pick the spoils, no matter men or women, this is the world of the strong.

And the strong don't need these words of wisdom. Yun Zhen didn't even look at Ji Huaiqing. He once stood in Ji Huaisu's camp and defeated him once. The defeat is nothing to mention—he doesn't need Ji Huaisu in this life. , can also defeat him.

Yun Zhen drank the fish soup in silence, finished eating slowly, got up and put on the bright and attractive white peacock cloak, and left the dining room.

With Ji Bingyuan away, Yunzhen had nowhere to hide, so he took the horse bowing class.

The master who taught the clan's bow and horse is Gao Xin, the chief guard of the Longxiang camp. He is always smiling, very talkative, and always makes people feel very comfortable when he speaks. He has been with Ji Bingyuan for many years. Many people think that he can control the dragon. Xiangying has been favored by the emperor for so many years because he has a particularly good temper and is good at coordinating turnover, so he can tolerate Ji Bingyuan's dictatorial and cold style.

But Yunzhen had seen him kill, and there was still no haze in his eyes staring at the corpse, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if looking at a long-lost lover—this is a bit creepy.

Although Gao Xin can be considered to have watched him grow up, and also respected and loved the eldest princess very much, Yun Zhen was still very afraid of him, and always stayed away from him when he was a child, even Ji Bingyuan knew that he was afraid of Gao Xin, Yun Zhen thought to himself So, could it be that Ji Bingyuan didn't let him take horse bow lessons since he entered the palace, because he was afraid that he wouldn't want to go to school after seeing Gao Xin?

But every time Yun Zhen saw Gao Xin smiling and looking at people as if he was looking at a corpse, his back felt chills, and he couldn't help but want to run away.

But there was no way to hide. A row of students stood in front of the target lane that had been formed before, and started shooting three times in turn. Wait for someone else to shoot.

Yun Zhen, who had never attended a class, had no formation, and naturally became alone, standing under the apricot tree on the side of the school field.The apricot blossom tree has been around for some years, on the newly painted red ocher palace wall, pink and white apricot blossoms are just blooming like clouds, he is wearing a snow-white cloak, standing under the flowers, there is no uneasiness of being out of gregariousness at all, just natural and noble Gui, as if he is very familiar in this palace, quite eye-catching.

Gao Xin raised his eyes and saw him naturally, smiled slightly, stepped forward to salute him, a dimple appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Master Hou is here?"

Yun Zhen asked him: "Why didn't Guard Gao go to Xishan with His Majesty?"

Gao Xin smiled gently: "I'm old and I can't be used. Let the young people have more opportunities. I'd better serve Lord Hou first."

Knowing that he was only in his early thirties, Yun Zhen rolled his eyes inwardly, but Gao Xin asked him: "I heard that Lord Hou is practicing archery at home now, has he improved?"

Yun Zhen shook his head, but Gao Xin ordered someone to bring a bow. The body of the bow was black and shiny, and the handle was thinly wrapped with bright yellow silk thread: "Your Majesty asked someone to prepare it. It is a newly made bow. The name of the bow is 'Chuan Guang'." ', Lord Hou, use it to see what is not going well and tell me, and I will ask someone to change it."

They stood there, Yun Zhen was holding a very exquisite bow, surrounded by guards and internal servants, and a small internal servant surrounded him unbuttoning his cloak and buttoning his armguards, the pomp was like an emperor.

The rest of the clan sons who were once pampered at home are now pretending to be honest in the academy with their tails between their tails. Seeing Yun Zhen's pomp all of a sudden, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and secretly scolded Gao Xin for catering to him. Sacred Heart, sees the wind and turns the rudder, sees that the emperor prefers Zhao Xinhou, so he just flatters him so openly, does he still have a bit of character?

Although everyone hated Gao Xin's shameless flattery, they all felt that Yun Zhen—the newly appointed Marquis Zhaoxin was really favored by the emperor.

Then they looked at the young boy who was always quiet and didn't talk much, he pulled up the bow, his posture was not only skillful but also pretty, the bow was like a full moon, the arrows were like shooting stars, swish, swish, and three arrows shot out in succession, piercing the spring light , hitting the bullseye directly.

The guard who reported the target shouted loudly: "Three ten rings!"

Ji Huaiqing turned his head, his face was obviously stunned, his eyes couldn't help but meet Yun Zhen, Yun Zhen looked directly at him, suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he threw the bow aside, yelling that he would try again Zhu Jiang who gave it a try.

Everyone saw that smile. He was only about 15 years old, and his eyebrows were still somewhat indistinguishable. This smile carried the unique pride and pride of a teenager, and his eyes were also bright with publicity. There was a sudden silence in the field.

Only the heartless Zhu Jiang took the bow and said happily: "It turns out that you practice at home every day, and you are so accurate—this bow is not bad, is it a new bow that was presented by the Ministry of War? I heard that the Ministry of War just got a new pattern... ..."

Yun Zhen turned his head and smiled: "The bow is good, it saves effort, and the weapon department has put its heart into it."

Gao Xin also laughed, with deep dimples: "With your words, the emperor must reward the Weapons Department of the Ministry of War, but I will thank Lord Hou for them first."

When the bow and horse class was over, Ji Huaiqing finally stopped Yunzhen: "The 25th of this month is my birthday, and it happens to be my school holiday. There is a mansion in the palace that gave me a banquet in Beijing. I don't know that the Marquis Zhaoxin may have the honor to attend the banquet." ?”

Ji Huaiqing is the direct son of the King of Qin, although he is not the eldest son, the King of Qin always dotes on him, and has already invited him to be crowned, just waiting for him, the clan secretary will confer the title of County King, and naturally there will be a banquet as usual.

That is to say, Ji Huaiqing is now a certain future king of the county. If he invites him face to face, if Yun Zhen doesn't go, he will really have no clan and offend Dafa.

Yun Zhen smiled slightly: "It's my honor to be personally invited by His Royal Highness, so I will naturally bother."

The words were very tactful, but everyone knew that this Marquis of Zhaoxin was very difficult to invite, and it seemed that he still knew the rules. Ji Huaiqing had a look of pride on his face, nodded in satisfaction, put away his bow and walked away up.

Yun Zhen turned his head, and at a glance, he saw Ji Huaisu staring at him, his eyes were a little strange, with a hint of admiration, but Zhu Jiang hugged Yun Zhen: "Hurry up, I have to change clothes, there is no time."

Yun Zhen lowered his eyelashes, he knew Ji Huaisu too well - he looked down on him, although he hid it well.He used to be muddle-headed, but he was not a fool. He somehow knew that Ji Huaisu didn't like him. He liked those people with real talents and knowledge. In his previous life, he worked hard to give him everything, hoping to let him think highly of himself. a little.

Didn't expect that in this life, just three arrows would change his outlook?

It really has something to do with the bow. The modification of the bow by the Ministry of War this time can be regarded as a very big improvement. He has practiced hard at home for a while, and it looks a bit decent.

But he knew that it was still far away. These dead targets were for the delicate and noble people like them, so they were very close.

He turned his head and left the staring eyes of the last life behind him, and quickly walked out of the school grounds.
