Chapter 43: Yun's Thousand-Mile Horse

When Yun Fenghuang lived in his aunt's house before, in order to avoid suspicion, he never took the initiative to inquire about Yun's men, especially those of similar age, at most he could learn about the dispositions and preferences of some noble women who often come and go.

Therefore, although she has been in and out of the Duke of Yi's mansion for almost three years, and during the festivals, everyone in the Yun family always greets the patriarch. It is said that there is a chance to recognize the Yun family from top to bottom, but because of this prudence, it can actually be done. Not many people called out their names after meeting each other.

At this moment, he moved towards the queen and asked in a low voice.

Gu Zhen said, "Listen to what they say, can you remember it?"

The two of them were going forward to salute, bowed to the surroundings, and reported their families, they were indeed descendants of the Yun family, among them, the one who seemed to be accompanying the guest was called Yun Jinke, and the rightful owner was Yunxike.

"He was the one who was with the princess just now." Gu Zhen raised the wine cup in front of him and took a sip, and said in a low voice with Yun Fenghuang, "This is Duke Yi's nephew. My father has been on the outside all the time, and he only came back to the imperial capital a few months ago to report on his duties. Although he is young, he is said to be able to help his father with advice and advice before his hair is tied. He is one of the unicorns of the Yun family. I see what your majesty means , seems to value him a lot.”

Yun Fenghuang snorted coldly in his heart, thinking that Chunjia might have fallen in love with his father and son early in the morning, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that he has been playing outside and came back a few months ago?

Now that he specially picked an accompanying guest to come up to add to the fun, it was nothing more than to give the emperor a reason to betroth Princess Minghui to him.

Sure enough, after the Yun brothers declared their identities, they said they planned to perform archery to cheer up the wine.

Chunjia and the important officials teased them a few words, then asked someone to set up archery targets in His Royal Highness, and then asked someone to fetch bows and arrows for them. Since they were in front of the imperial court, the arrows were all removed. But it also has an impact.

However, the Yun brothers bent their bows and tapped the strings. To put it lightly, they hit the bull's-eye with three arrows in a row, which immediately aroused applause.

Chunjia specially ordered to give wine, and the Yun brothers thanked him for drinking, and the guest of Yunxi went up to report, asking to move the arrow target back a hundred steps.

The main hall of the small square pot is only of an ordinary size, if such an archery target is to be moved outside the hall, people with poor eyesight may not even be able to see clearly the target, let alone hit the target.

Yunxike's actions immediately drew the plausible accusations from Duke Yi as the head of his fathers, and ordered him not to be rash.

However, the emperor didn't care, and clapped his hands and said, "Young people should have such a spirit", so he ordered his left and right to follow his words.

So under the watchful eyes of everyone, the archery target was carried outside the hall by two servants.

But at this time, I discovered a problem, that is, the terrain of the small square pot is rugged, and the main hall is said to be fairly flat, but outside the gate of the hall, within a dozen steps, there are rockery and strange rocks standing up again, there is no way to do it Archery target.

Chunjia asked Yunxike what to do?

Yunxike pleaded guilty, turned his head to look at it, and asked to put the arrow target on a rockery opposite to the main hall.

"Isn't this brother Guifei the reincarnation of an ancient famous general?" Gu Zhen said, "That place is about 300 steps away from him, right? The lake breeze is quite strong today."

"Since he said that, he must be somewhat confident, right?" Although it was said that they belonged to a family, Yun Fenghuang was not at all happy when Yun's son stood out, so she said calmly, "If you miss, you will have to blame yourself, and you can't blame others. "

It's best to miss, so even if the emperor doesn't punish him, I'm afraid it won't be easy to send Minghui down to Yun's son in a short time.

So maybe things are turning around.

While she was praying silently, Yunxike changed to a strong bow, buckled the arrow and opened the string, as if embracing the full moon, and looked outside the hall for a moment to let go, because of the strength of the strong bow, the sound of the arrow piercing through the air was like a scream, Not long after, a servant from outside the hall rushed in, shouting in surprise: "I hit it! I hit the bull's-eye!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and after a while, another servant came in carrying an archery target for everyone to see, and saw a feathered arrow without an arrow piercing through the center of the bullseye, fully protruding half an inch from the target. many!

Seeing this, most concubines didn't mind, they just applauded and praised Yun's son's bravery, but Yun Fenghuang and other experts were very moved, knowing that it was not easy to achieve this step.

No, this is no longer an easy problem.

If there is no considerable talent, it is simply impossible to rely solely on hard work and hard work.

Yun Fenghuang took a deep look at his nominal cousin, Yunxi Ke's fair skin was slightly reddened by the many praises and applause, looking innocent and shy, he could easily win the favor of ordinary people.

But Yun Fenghuang's gaze was cold.

At this age, with such talent, even if they are from poor families, Chunjia knows that most of them need to be cultivated.

What's more, this is the nephew of the loyal Lord Yi, the son of the Yun family who is famous for his loyalty to Chunjia?

Originally, the Yun family was a wealthy family, and if there is such an heir, Jane, in the heart of the emperor, she will never be able to touch Yi Guogong's family. Not to mention, I am afraid that if there is any decline in the future, she will take advantage of it. result!

Thinking back to when Concubine Zhenxi Shu left, Yun Fenghuang took over a series of benefits such as the palace power, King Qin, etc. under the banner of "Sister Concubine Shu loves the younger sister of the direct sister", how could the Yun family not count these things? If given the opportunity, how could they not follow the gourd's plan and take over the family fortune she had saved so hard after killing Yun Fenghuang?

Yun Fenghuang's heart was full of crises, but at this moment, he had no choice but to smile happily and join in the crowd's applause.

However, Yunxike's talent is not limited to archery skills. After some humility, he boldly presented his own poems to Chunjia. Not bad.

Everyone saw the emperor's preference, of course they could boast vigorously.

As a result, this newcomer who was not long ago in the same generation of the imperial capital became a thousand-mile steed who was praised by everyone.

When the matter came to this point, everyone knew in their hearts that this man should soon become the son-in-law of Tian's family, whether it was Minghui or Kunze, in short, the bright future had already been decided.

But the emperor seemed to feel that the momentum was still not enough, so he ordered Yanyin to fetch a bow he had used in the past, called Yunxike to go forward, and handed it to him in person, and told him not to slack off, to march forward bravely and serve the court... ...The younger disciples added to the fun, Yun Fenghuang had lost his mind to watch, so he excused himself a little dizzy, got up and left the stage, and went to the back to calm down.

She went back to the warm pavilion where she had talked with Kunze before, and asked the palace servants to make a pot of tea to rinse her mouth. She was picking up some melons and fruits and eating them absent-mindedly, but a palace servant came outside to report that Princess Minghui had arrived.

"Does Your Royal Highness want to use this warm pavilion?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Then I will let her do it."

The palace man panicked and said: "His Royal Highness said that she came to talk to the imperial concubine."

Yun Fenghuang only said that Minghui came here to make trouble, so her complexion is not very good. She is in a bad mood now, and Minghui dares to provoke her, but she does not guarantee that she will do something: "Really? Then invite Your Highness to come in stop."

"You all go down." Ming Hui came in and ordered like this.

It's just that the person who served her went down immediately, but Qingren and the others didn't move.

It wasn't until Yun Fenghuang nodded that they bent their knees and left.

"I know you don't like Mrs. Yun." When there were only two people in the Nuan Pavilion, Minghui said straight to the point, "I don't like it either. Think of a way to mess this up, how about it?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "What did your highness say? I am a daughter of the Yun family, how could I not like my brother? Besides, I don't understand what your highness said is nothing wrong?"

"What don't you understand?" Ming Hui said coldly, "Your Majesty's meaning is very clear. He just wanted to praise Yunxi Ke, who was originally unknown in the imperial capital, so he used my palace's marriage as a raft! If you even You don't even wink at all, how can you get into the imperial concubine's seat?"

"Even so, why does this palace think His Highness objected? It is well known that the Yun family is loyal to His Majesty." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Regardless of His Highness's downfall, His Majesty will use them again. And with Yunxi The ability of a guest is not my own self-promotion. If you say that you are from a wealthy family, even if you are from a humble background, do you think His Majesty will not be flattered? To be honest, if His Majesty really betroths His Highness to the Yunxi guest, it can be seen that His Majesty is sincere Your Highness considers that it is much better to choose a son of a noble family who seems to have both talents and looks to match His Highness, which is much better than Yun An and Sui An's son-in-laws!"

Minghui sneered and said: "So, are you willing? Don't forget that Sui'an's son-in-law is your first cousin, and Xie's family is the one you really care about, right? Otherwise, since you became favored, you have won many benefits for Xie's family. But when did you ever worry about Mrs. Yun? If Duke Yi was not loyal to His Majesty, the old man who supported each other when His Majesty first ascended the throne, you might have been slandered a long time ago and made Mrs. Yun look good! Son of Yun, among the three consorts in the future, who do you think His Majesty will value first? With this in mind, do you dare to say that you are happy to see this matter go smoothly?"

Of course Yun Fenghuang was not happy.

But she doesn't trust Minghui even more. As she said just now, this marriage is of course arbitrary by Chunjia Gangang, and she never asked Minghui's meaning at all. It can even be said that he did it regardless of Minghui's willingness or not, but in fact It was for Minghui's consideration.

The most important thing about Ming Hui is nothing more than the point of being the first emperor's daughter.

But what's embarrassing is that her biological mother has lost her identity as the first emperor and empress, and has even been charged with causing the first emperor to have no heirs.

In addition, in the dispute between the royal uncle and nephew, Minghui chose the regent with a clear-cut stand, and stood on the opposite side of Chunjia.

All these situations have resulted in ordinary people not daring to easily ask her to marry her even if they are greedy for the status of a golden branch and a jade leaf.

Moreover, she is not loyal enough to the emperor, or Chunjia is not a particularly trustworthy person. After Shangzhu, it is difficult not to be suspected by the emperor. Will she be influenced by the eldest princess and be wooed by the regent, so as to betray herself?

That is Yun's son, this is the royalist who has passed the test of the situation and time.

After the sons of their family became the Lord, Chunjia can reuse them with confidence, and don't have to worry about any future troubles caused by favoring Minghui's husband's family.

This is also to show the emperor's attitude to the outside world, and he does not remember Minghui's troubles and hostility before, but still treats her as a younger sister and cares for him intentionally.

Ming Hui may or may not know these truths, but with the Empress Dowager here, someone will definitely explain it to her.

Just so empty-mouthed to encourage Yun Fenghuang to intervene, who knows if he plans to sell her at that time?
