Chapter 1507 Try it(2/2)
Kangxi showed satisfaction on his face and praised: "That's right, there were no omissions in the errands, and there was no delay in riding and shooting."
The third elder brother said: "Khan Amma has ordered the clan to practice shooting every day, so my son dare not slack off."
Kangxi nodded and let him go back.
Afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to the fourth elder brother who was standing next to the eldest elder brother.
Fourth elder brother's face was tense.
The third elder brother remembered the words of the emperor's father, and he naturally remembered them too.
He chose a decent five-power bow, and all three arrows were on the target, but the distribution was uneven. Only the last one was on the bullseye, and the remaining two were just barely on the target.
When everyone saw him, they didn't look at the target or at Brother Si, for fear of hurting his face.
Only the fourteenth elder brother had drooped mouth corners and stared with straight eyebrows, showing a bit of disdain.
There is also Ninth Brother, who is a little uneasy and not so sure.
The fourth elder brother did not choose the four-power bow, so the two of them will be tied for last place?!
Somewhat shabby.
The fourth elder brother did not look at everyone's reactions and waited for Kangxi's comments.
Kangxi paused and said, "It's still good, but it looks like my hand is not raw..."
A ruler is longer and an inch is shorter.
Fourth Brother's strength was not in riding and shooting, so Kangxi did not force him to do so.
only……
Is Fourth Brother too thin?
This face is long and thin, and the body looks thin.
Kangxi knew that he was serious and diligent in running errands, and said: "When running errands, you should be careful, but your body is more important. Taking care of yourself is the greatest filial piety."
The fourth elder brother lowered his hands and listened, without making any excuses, and agreed honestly.
When we arrived at the fifth elder brother's place, compared with the fourth elder brother, he was almost two times smaller in size. When he went to choose a bow, the fifth elder brother didn't bother to choose, so he just took his commonly used seven-power bow, "Swish, swish, swish"
"He completed the shooting exercise and all three arrows hit the bull's-eye.
Kangxi was quite pleased, but looking at the figure of Fifth Elder Brother, he frowned.
When he was young, he was not as lean and muscular as he is now, but he was not like the fifth elder brother.
Fifth Brother's standing shooting is good, but mounted shooting is useless.
The fifth elder brother saw his dislike and said aggrievedly: "Khan Ama, my son is not lazy. He shoots arrows for half an hour every day. But he was too busy a while ago and couldn't eat or sleep well, so he got fat.
"
He really wanted to say, don't bother yourself when doing errands like going to the south study room, but he just murmured in his heart.
He looked at his brothers. There were many adult princes, but when the time came, a few would have to be divided among the retinue, and there were not many options to choose from. As the one who was making up the numbers, he would probably have to continue to make up the numbers.
Seeing this, Kangxi said: "There is no way to gain weight like this. From today on, we are not allowed to eat meat. Let's try it first."
The fifth elder brother was a little unhappy, thinking of the dojos in Prince Jian's Mansion, and said: "Khan Ama, this... you may not be thin even if you are a vegetarian. The monks in the temple do not eat meat, but most of them are fat and big-eared;
Taoist priests and Buddhist monks both eat meat, and they don't look bloated, and they are more capable."
Kangxi didn't answer and looked at his fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother's voice became softer and softer. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and reluctantly accepted the order.
When it came to the eighth prince, he knew that this was not the time to hide his clumsiness.
He has already seen that the emperor's father has no shortage of sons, and when he assigns his sons' errands, there is some sense in which those who are able do more work.
He doesn't want to be mediocre among his brothers.
He also took a twelve-power bow, and all three arrows were on the bullseye.
The princes were not surprised by this result.
From the time he went to study, the eighth prince could not be ranked first in civil and martial arts, but he was always in the top three.
He is here again, in his early twenties, the time when he is transitioning from boyhood to young adulthood, and is full of strength.
Many of the princes who were watching were seeing such a heroic figure as the Eighth Prince for the first time.
After all, Eighth Prince gave people the impression of being elegant and gentle, but he didn't expect that his archery skills were so excellent.
No wonder it was said earlier that the Eighth Prince was both civil and military, and he really lived up to his reputation.
It has been mentioned less and less in recent years, and everyone has forgotten that in addition to being gentle with others, Eighth Prince has other strengths.
Kangxi's eyes passed over the princes who were watching, looked at the eighth prince and said: "Yes, it looks better than when he went to the study."
The eighth prince said humbly: "I dare not forget Khan Amma's teachings. Even though I am away from the study, I still find time to practice archery for half an hour and read for half an hour every time."
Kangxi nodded and said: "Very good, very good..."
He is still the strong eighth brother.
Next……
Kangxi wanted to cross over.
Just now, the fourth elder brother has exposed his shortcomings in front of the clan, and the ninth elder brother can't hide it here.
Everyone looked at Ninth Elder Brother, Ninth Elder Brother had nothing to be shy about.
He is talented even though he is partial, and he is open about his shortcomings.
That's it now. If we talk about the overall strength of the Prince's Mansion, no one is the best at the moment?
He didn't let anyone rush him, he came out openly and took the five-power bow.
What's this?
"Swish, swish, swish", the three arrows shot out happily.
Except for the last one which is outside the bullseye, the other two are right in the bullseye.
Brother Jiu was relieved and raised the corners of his mouth.
The penultimate, satisfying...
Kangxi saw that his tail was about to be raised and wanted to kick him.
Is there anything to be proud of?
Chapter completed!
