Chapter 489 The Shooting Game Begins
Chapter 489 The Shooting Game Begins
"It's really gone." Chu Qingmeng refused to give it.
"Mother……"
While the two were arguing, everyone else came out, preparing to go to the small shooting range inside the palace, which was usually used for children to practice. Although it was called a small shooting range, it was still the size of two football fields.
"What's wrong?" Mo Liujin walked over when he saw the two arguing.
"..." Chu Qingmeng was sued and felt like crying but had no tears.
"Chu Qingmeng! You still have something?!" Mu Lingxue sneered, "I think you really don't want to take your life anymore!"
"..." Chu Qingmeng silently took out the remaining cigarettes from his pocket and put them in Mo Liujin's hand. "Don't nag me, it gives me a headache."
Mo Liujin crushed the remaining cigarettes, and immediately a cool minty smell spread out. Seeing that she was unhappy, he reached out to hold her, "Excuse me, everyone. My wife has a childish nature."
The word "wife" was pronounced with a particularly strong emphasis, and Chu Qingmeng couldn't help but look up at him.
A sneer crossed Ling Xian's lips.
Everyone arrived at the small shooting range, which had been rearranged. Mo Liujin's generation had one shooting range, and the Jiang generation had another. Servants released pigeons, and the one who hit the most targets won first prize.
"Second brother, get on the horse!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but shout when he saw Ling Xian not moving.
Everyone stopped and looked at Ling Xian, even the women looked over.
"..." Ling Xian closed his eyes, "I'm not good at riding or shooting, so I won't show off."
Ling Feng then realized that he was not in good health this time and might not be able to draw the bow and shoot arrows. He just saw that he was in good health now, so he subconsciously regarded him as Ling Xiao and his brothers. Thinking about it carefully, he probably wouldn't teach these things on the mountain, and he had never taught him.
"Okay, Jianzhi, you guys start. Your second brother is not in good health, let him rest for a while." Ling Feng spoke.
Chu Qingmeng looked at Ling Xian, his eyes filled with suppressed laughter. "Father isn't good at horseback riding and archery? If Second Senior Brother is number one in horseback riding and archery, then Father can be second!"
Ling Xian's eyes swept over and softened for a moment when he saw her. He sat back down under the pavilion and took the book Qi Yu handed him, flipping through it.
Although Mo Liujin got on the horse, he still kept his eye on Chu Qingmeng. Seeing that Ling Xian just sat back under the pavilion and read a book, he felt a little relieved.
Chu Qingmeng only sat there for a while before he was completely frozen. He held the hot water bottle and tried his best not to let anyone notice that he was abnormal.
Ling Xian, who had been keeping an eye on her, noticed her subtle movements while sitting by the window. He frowned slightly and motioned Qi Yu to take the pill.
Qi Yu gave the medicine to Shuang Cheng, and they nodded without saying a word. Fei Ying had known that Ling Xian was the master of the fifth floor when he followed Chu Qingmeng to pay tribute to the shadow guards after the siege. He still couldn't figure out the exact relationship between Ling Xian and his master.
Shuang Cheng quietly walked behind Chu Qingmeng and handed the pill to her, "Princess, it's time to take the medicine."
A group of female relatives were staying in the shelter when a male guard suddenly broke in, causing Madam Ling and Madam Shen to frown slightly.
After taking the medicine, Chu Qingmeng felt much better. Only then did she notice the two people's slight displeasure. She bowed her head and retreated. She had to explain, "Please forgive me, everyone. I am not in good health. I take more medicine than I eat every day. Therefore, there are always villains who will focus on my medicine. One of my personal maids was killed because a villain tried to replace my medicine. I almost died from the same medicine. Therefore, the medicine is now kept by my guards and no one else is allowed to hand it over. Just now, the guard came in to deliver the medicine and disturbed you ladies. I apologize to you all."
Everyone exchanged a few perfunctory greetings and let the matter go.
Outside, Mo Liujin and his friends finished their lottery game. Unsurprisingly, Mo Liujin won first prize.
The prize for the lottery was a string of pale purple Bodhi beads brought by the Duke of Zhenguo. Chu Qingmeng didn't like these things, so after Mo Liujin had them delivered, she gave them to Chen Siyu. "Mother, you always pay homage to the Buddha. Do you like it? This thing has been ruined in my hands."
"My son is thoughtful." Chen Siyu really liked it and was playing with it reluctantly.
It was Jiang Qing and his friends' turn. Mo Liujin added a prize to them. He had previously ordered people to make a fine bow, which was made of the best materials. This bow was worth nearly a thousand taels of silver.
"Third uncle! This bow has caught my eye! I will definitely get the first prize today!" Jiang Yu was full of confidence.
"Haha, good! Your father must have taught you. Today I will see what you can do!" Mo Liujin encouraged the younger generations again.
After taking the pill, Chu Qingmeng no longer felt the bone-chilling cold weather and felt much better.
Chun He quietly tugged at Chu Qingmeng's clothes from behind, "Miss, Shuang Cheng said he has something to report."
Chu Qingmeng quietly stood up and left. Since there were so many women around, he wasn't very noticeable. He just said something to Mu Lingxue and left.
Walking to an inconspicuous corner, Chu Qingmeng looked at the young men on the field drawing their bows and shooting arrows, and couldn't help but chuckle. These young men were really pleasing to the eye.
Shuang Cheng brought Wu Qing over and presented an imperial edict, "Master, Master Eleven said that Sixteenth Prince bewitched the Third Prince and poisoned him."
Chu Qingmeng took the imperial edict, opened it and saw, "..."
"Ha..." I was so speechless that I laughed out loud.
