Chapter 366 The favorite is Jiaojiao
He used his legs to guide her calves and helped her adjust her posture. "Follow the arrow and rotate your arms."
"Push the bow." Feng Huaiji pushed her arm to open the bow, "Hook the string with your right finger, and then aim."
"let go."
The arrow broke through the air and hit the bull's eye.
"Remember?"
"Remember, remember." His steady and strong heartbeat was clear behind my ears.
"Jiaojiao's tone sounds unsure, so I'll take you here again."
"Oh."
Qingming and Xuanqing looked at each other's noses and their hearts, then took a few steps back and stood in a row with Zhuling and Zhuxuan.
Feng Huaiji taught her how to do it seriously, and then let go of her hand, "Practice more, and get the posture right first."
"it is good."
Yingyue was practicing seriously, and Feng Huaiji did not deliberately disturb her mind. He stepped back a little and waved to the two attendants.
"Tell those two maids to go to the kitchen and ask the cooks to make something that Miss Nine likes to eat."
"Yes."
After pulling the bow for a stick of incense, the arrow shot out was weak as if it was hungry. It didn't go far. Yingyue shook her hands and looked at Feng Huaiji pitifully.
"Brother, my arm seems to be dying."
Feng Huaiji couldn't help but chuckle when he heard her cute description, "Come here, take a rest first."
"Where does it hurt? Is it your forearm or your arm?"
Yingyue put the bow and arrow on the ground and walked in front of him, "They are all sore."
Feng Huaiji handed a cup of warm tea to her lips, "Moisten your throat, you must be thirsty."
Yingyue wanted to raise her hand, but her hand was a little sore.
"I feed you."
"Oh." She lowered her head and finished the cup of tea.
Feng Huaiji looked at her with uncontrollable tenderness in his eyes.
Zhuling and Zhuxuan wanted to go forward to serve Yingyue, but they didn't dare.
Xuanqing and Qingming each grabbed the corner of their clothes expressionlessly and against their conscience.
"Second sister, let's just wait and see what happens. This is not something we can interfere with."
After feeding her water, Feng Huaiji pulled her to sit down and massaged her arms with moderate strength. "Your arms may be sore when you wake up after your lunch break. Ask your two maids to massage them for you when you go back."
"Oh, okay." His palms were warm, and I could feel some of the warmth through my clothes.
Yingyue looked up at him, his face was so close to her that she couldn't help but hold her breath, her heartbeat became uncontrollable again.
I had just practiced archery and my body felt a little hot. Now the heat was creeping up to my cheeks and ears, and it seemed that even the autumn breeze blowing by had taken on a touch of warmth.
He looked calm, as if she was the only one who felt something was wrong.
Yingyue moved her hand, but he pulled her arm back, "Wait a moment."
"Second brother."
"Ok?"
"you……"
Feng Huaiji waited quietly for her to ask the question.
Yingyue met his gaze and asked, "Are you also this kind to my second and fourth sisters?"
He would rub their heads, pinch their cheeks, teach them how to ride horses and shoot arrows, and even take them out to eat.
"Of course not. Just as Jiaojiao said, I am the brother I like best, and Jiaojiao is also my favorite sister."
Feng Huaiji tapped her cheek with his fingertips and switched to his other arm, "They don't dare to get close to me, and I don't really like to play with them."
She noticed the difference and began to worry whether he would treat her the same way. She began to care whether she was special.
Feng Huaiji stopped talking and changed the subject, "Just practice for a while and rest for a while. Exercising too hard will hurt your arm."
"Ah."
Too much is as bad as too little. Feng Huaiji did not deliberately create ambiguity afterwards. He got along with her like a normal brother and sister, but was more caring.
After returning from court the next day, Feng Huaiji walked towards the little girl who had been sitting in the yard eating cakes and rubbed her head.
"Second brother, you are back."
"No breakfast today?"
"I just lost my appetite, so I went out for a walk and ended up here."
"I'll accompany you." He helped her up and held her wrist without any obstruction. "Your hands are a little cold. Wear more clothes in the morning."
Yingyue looked at him holding her hand. The warmth of his palm came from the touching skin, and she couldn't help but breathe softly.
"After breakfast, I will leave Beijing for a few days to assist the Dali Temple in handling a case. If you want to practice archery, just come to my courtyard."
Yingyue looked up at him, "Where are you going? How long will it take you to come back?"
Feng Huaiji raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Meng County under the jurisdiction of the capital, I will be back in three days."
He raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "Can't bear to leave me? Three days will pass quickly. I'll leave Qingming here. You can find him if you have any problem."
"Oh."
After finishing breakfast, Feng Huaiji handed her the oil-paper bag he brought back, "Lotus root powder and osmanthus cake, try it, I'm leaving now."
"be careful."
"Okay." Feng Huaiji turned and went out. When he reached the gate, he looked back and she was watching him go away.
Feng Huaiji smiled at her and continued to walk out.
Yingyue lowered her head, opened the oil paper package, took out a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it in small bites.
On the first day that Feng Huaiji left the mansion, Yingyue missed him a little.
The second day after not seeing Feng Huaiji, Yingyue felt that the day passed slowly.
The day before Feng Huaiji came back, Yingyue finished her archery practice and returned to Qinghui Courtyard, where she saw Yu Wu sitting in the courtyard waiting for her.
"Mother."
Yu Wu looked at her, "Where have you been going again? I haven't seen you for two days."
"I went to practice archery in my second brother's courtyard." Yingyue lay on her knees, "Mom, my arms are sore, can you rub them for me?"
Yu Wu massaged her arm and asked, "Why are you bothering your second brother so much?"
"My second brother doesn't mind me being a bother. He has been out on a case these days and is not in the mansion."
"Although you are brother and sister, there should be a limit to how you get along with each other. Jiaojiao is already a grown-up girl."
Yingyue's eyes dimmed slightly, "I understand."
As the day of his return drew closer, she missed him more and more and longed to be by his side more and more.
She began to feel uneasy, panicky, and worried about gains and losses again.
If he really has a wife in the future, can she really watch him be nice to others?
If she waited a little longer, until he got married, she would no longer be greedy for his kindness to her and would no longer look for him.
When did she start to change? She didn't know, just quietly, she no longer wanted to be just a younger sister.
Seeing that she looked a little sad, Yu Wu sighed and stroked her hair gently, "Forget it, Jiaojiao, do whatever you want. Nothing can compare to your happiness."
They are not biological siblings after all, so even if some inappropriate feelings arise, it can still be resolved.
"You can do whatever you want. Mother will pave all the way for you. You just need to be happy."
Yingyue's heart trembled, and she looked up at her, "Mother, are you hiding something from me?"
She wanted to ask her if she had noticed it, but she was a little afraid to ask.
"You will soon find out that mother loves you as much as she loves herself."
Yingyue was confused.
The next day, Yingyue got up half an hour earlier than usual, and went to Qingzhuyuan after washing up.
Qing Ming was a little surprised to see her come so early, "Miss Jiu, have you had breakfast?"
"No."
"Then I'll ask the kitchenette to make it for you."
"Okay, is the second brother back?"
"Not yet."
"Oh, then you go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to practice archery for a while."
After three days of hard work, she was now able to hit the target.
"great progress."
Hearing the familiar voice, Yingyue turned around happily and threw herself into his arms, "Second brother, you're back!"
Xuanqing, Zhuling and the other three pretended not to see it.
Feeling the softness in his arms, Feng Huaiji breathed lightly, put his arm around her waist, and said in a low voice, "Well, I'm back. So Jiaojiao missed me so much."
