Chapter 121 Full Bow(1/2)
Qi Huan usually instinctively avoided him, but today...
He appeared here at this time, and she could almost certain that the incident of Empress Gu summoning her to the palace today was related to him.
Qi Huan wanted to ask him about inside information first so that he could feel good about entering the palace later.
"Uncle San." She called Qi Wenyan.
Qi Wenyan looked back at her, his eyes as if they were torched.
Qi Huan can fool everyone in the Qi family without changing his face, except Qi Wenyan.
Although Qi Wenyan never showed a cruel and terrible appearance in front of her, it should be due to the primate's instinctive perception of danger. Qi Huan had a kind of fear and awe of his third uncle from the bottom of his heart. Whenever he met, he subconsciously made himself act like a good girl who obeyed the elders' guidance.
When Qi Wenyan saw this, Qi Huan's expression froze.
His tongue was almost immediately tied, and he became less confident and tentatively tentatively: "Well, I... did you take the time to send me off? You can get here, you've all arrived at the palace gate."
As she said that, she felt that she was taking the initiative to look for a blow in front of him!
Gu Zhan stood there, and Qi Wenyan must have seen him just now when the carriage passed by in front of him.
I saw it, but I didn't even say a face-saving voice...
Isn't this intentional?
Qi Huan really doesn't think there is any shameful involvement between him and Prince Gu. He just met several times normally. I don't know where these people got the rumor. This is the scheming of them as adulterers and blocking them.
When Qi Huan faced his third uncle's cold face, his heart was pounding, as if he was a child who had done something wrong and was caught by his parents, and he became guilty and nervous.
Qi Wenyan stared at her twice, and his gaze seemed to be substantial.
"Let's go." Finally, he coldly put down a word and walked towards the palace gate first.
Qi Huan instinctively did not dare to disobey him, so he could only give up Gu Zhan and follow him obediently.
The idea in my mind is very simple-
No matter how awesome her third uncle is, she can't go in and out of the harem with her, but Gu Zhan should be able to do it. If Gu Zhan wants to find her, he will follow him later.
It should be because of the banquet held in the Queen's Palace that the palace gate was open on this day.
An inner official stood in the shade at the door. There were two rows of palace maids and eunuchs standing in the cave behind him. They should be the ones sent by Yang to attract guests from Fengming Palace.
Qi Wenyan has a good reputation in the officialdom. When he walked over, the palace gate guard on duty immediately spoke: "Mr. Qi, are you free today? This is..."
Qi Huan followed him with his eyebrows down.
Qi Wenyan said: "Your Majesty set up a Qionglin banquet in Chengxi Palace today to invite this new Jinshi. Yesterday, Eunuch Li issued an order to ask the palace to enter the palace today as a companion."
Well……
Is he going to the palace with him?
Before Qi Huan could not expect it, his expression and movement were too late to control, so he suddenly looked up at him.
Then, he subconsciously turned his head to look for Gu Zhan's figure in the distance.
Gu Zhan should have been standing far away in order to avoid Qi Wenyan, so he kept standing there and did not take the initiative to approach.
But if I didn't have the chance to ask him about internal information in advance...
Qi Huan suddenly felt a little crazy and felt unsure.
Qi Wenyan was calm and had already negotiated with the eunuch of Queen Gu Fengming Palace: "My niece has received the grace of the Queen, and she will also come to the palace to pay homage today. This is the first time she has entered the palace. I will come to the palace for a while and give her some advice. By the way, I will talk to her about the rules in the palace and ask her father-in-law to do it."
Seeing that Qi Huan was not moving, he looked sideways and gave him a look.
Qi Huan quickly calmed down and handed over the palace post in his hand.
The eunuch was willing to give Qi Wenyan's face. After reading her post, she confirmed it correctly, and then smiled kindly: "Mr. Qi, you are suffering, but this newcomer who enters the officialdom is blessed."
Qi Wenyan was successful at a young age and was able to do well in the officialdom. It is indeed a positive example for newcomers who have just entered the officialdom. It is also a good fortune to be able to teach him a few words of experience.
Qi Huan was so taken care of by her third uncle as if she was guarding the thief. Now she was in a mess.
According to the rules, even with Qi Wenyan accompanying him to guide the way, the eunuch still ordered a small eunuch to lead the way for his uncle and nephew.
Qi Wenyan was straight and his pace was a little leisurely, but his whole attitude was not loosely paced forward.
Qi Huan didn't dare to look back at Gu Zhan openly, so he could only follow him with his teeth.
She was absent-minded and didn't even have the interest to take a look at the scenery in the Imperial Garden along the way.
The little eunuch led the way in front. Qi Wenyan was a train-runner who was full of skills and might as well give in to her. He said that he was following the rules, but he didn't say a word on the road. He clearly looked like a parent who monitored naughty children.
Qi Huan followed him in a quiet voice, and had no intention of talking to him.
When the group of three people walked past a separate garden, they suddenly heard a cheer from it.
The movement is a bit big.
Qi Wenyan originally looked straight and was not disturbed by external objects.
But Qi Huan and the eunuch who led the way couldn't control their curiosity, and they stopped and turned to look.
A platform more than three feet high was built in the garden, and weapons racks and targets were placed on the platform. In addition to the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving, two rows of imperial guards stood under the stage just in case.
There were several people on the stage, which seemed to be competing for bows and arrows.
When Qi Huan looked over, he happened to see a young man in a brocade robe and jade crown pulling his bow and shooting an arrow.
Qi Huan does not understand the skills of bows and arrows, but she is aware of and studied the aesthetics of human body demeanor. It is not difficult to see that this man's entire set of actions of pulling bows and shooting arrows are both skillful and elegant. Not only does he hit the arrow, but his movements are also very ornamental.
After the arrow was shot, he turned around and started talking to a girl standing next to him with her back to the garden gate.
The girl was half a head shorter than him and was dressed in a strong outfit, but her figure was still tall among the women.
Because they were far apart, they could not hear what they said.
Seeing that they had just talked for a few words, the man handed the longbow to the girl.
At this time, the other two or three people standing next to them came up, talking and laughing at them to make fun of something.
The girl took the longbow in her hand, first tweaked the bow string and tried it, then walked to the right position, and set up her posture to try to pull the bow.
When she stood in her position, Qi Huan also saw her side face clearly.
He is not very old, has beautiful facial features, and a very delicate face.
The bow looked larger than the usual longbow. Although the girl was well-positioned, she tried the arrow twice, and the bowstring was only half opened.
The few people who were accompanying her laughed loudly and said something to her again.
Qi Huan felt that they should be very familiar with each other and were having fun together, otherwise a few big men who were dressed in a pretty way would not make things difficult for a girl in person even if they were petty.
In short, from the outsider's perspective, Qi Huan felt that the atmosphere on the stage was very harmonious.
The girl tried three times but still didn't pull the bowstring completely. At the beginning, the man who pulled the bow reached out and took the longbow back, took it in his hand and stroked it with cherished it, while also talking to the girl.
After watching the excitement for a while, Qi Huan felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze and asked Qi Wenyan to continue walking, he saw that the girl seemed to be angry and snatched the longbow back into her hand.
The person next to him had to talk, so he saw her raising her legs and slimly in the air.
Long legs are straight, step on the arch, and use the force on the legs to spread the long bow.
At the same time, take the arrow in your hand, and put the arrow in your backhand on the string.
The long bow pulls the strings, and the whole set of movements is clean and neat, without any stagnation.
The next moment, the feather arrow left the string, making a sound in the air, and then a bang, while the bull's eye was shot out with the strong bow force, and nailed it to a grass below the stage.
The silhouette of the girl when she pulled her bow and archery was both cool and beautiful. Qi Huan, who was also a woman, couldn't help but feel crazy.
After shooting the arrow, she shook her hand and threw the longbow under her feet without hesitation, said something to the people next to her, and turned around and left.
Run to the edge of the platform in three or two steps, spread your arms, balance your body, and a light jump landed steadily.
Then he strides and comes to the exit of the small garden here calmly and calmly.
None of her actions played according to common sense, and she seemed to be calm but her steps were extremely fast.
Qi Huan and others were still standing outside the garden. Before she could avoid it, she had already arrived.
He brought his hands behind his back and lowered his head slightly from the arch.
The palace servant who guided Qi Huan and the others realized that he had lost his composure and was immediately kneeling down in fear and touched the ground with humility.
Qi Huan entered the palace for the first time, and his eyes were dark, and he had no idea who this girl was.
Looking at the free and easy spirit walking around the palace, at least he was a royal relative, but whoever came to the palace would be so unpretentious and dressed up in such a dress.
Qi Huan was stunned for a moment and did not dare to act rashly.
Because the girl came out of the garden, in addition to doubting the other person's identity, she suddenly discovered-
The girl's right face started from the brow bone, and there was an old scar that penetrated half of her cheek, tearing apart her supposedly pretty and perfect cheek.
This girl looked just about the same age as her. From the age of eight to eighty, she almost never ignored her appearance.
Her face was ruined like this, and Qi Huan saw it and her heart trembled instinctively.
Even Qi Wenyan, who was accustomed to hiding his emotions, couldn't help but frown slightly.
But it may also be because the heroic spirit between her eyebrows was too strong, and her expression was confident and proud to be almost arrogant.
To be continued...
