Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 5 Outstanding
The prince was arrogant and jealous.

At this moment, what he mainly cares about is not that the third prince belongs to his princeling party, nor is it a suppression of the princeling party once Yuan Qingbai is raised by Emperor Jing'an.

In his opinion, only his son was qualified to be raised by Emperor Jing'an.

Moreover, when an imperial grandson is personally raised and taught by Emperor Jing'an, if he is very popular with Emperor Jing'an, it will enhance his father's image and status in Emperor Jing'an's heart.

In the prince's heart, the third prince is just his follower. He absolutely does not want to see the third prince's chance of seizing the throne increase and rebel against him.

This is the reason why the prince currently opposes Yuan Qingbai being raised by Emperor Jing'an.

Emperor Jing'an looked at the third prince again: "What do you have to say?"

The third prince said respectfully: "I am so frightened, how dare I ask my father to raise and teach Qing Bai, wasting my precious time and energy."

This was a tactful reply. He neither said that Yuan Qingbai was not qualified to be raised by Emperor Jing'an, nor did he plead with Emperor Jing'an to raise Yuan Qingbai. He just expressed his sincerity and filial piety.

Emperor Jing'an nodded, satisfied with the third prince's calmness.

However, he didn't like the third prince's meanness...

Emperor Jing'an looked at Yuan Qingbai again: "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"

Yuan Qingbo said respectfully and politely: "My grandson thinks what my uncle and my fifth uncle said are reasonable. It would be a shame for my grandson to be raised and taught by his imperial grandfather just because of his physical strength."

"Father is right. I shouldn't bother the emperor's grandfather with his upbringing and training because of me, and waste his precious time and energy."

"I have grown up so big and have been raised and taught by my father so painstakingly and painstakingly, which makes me feel ashamed of my father."

The conversation changed, and Yuan Qingbai then added: "It's just that my grandson really admires the emperor's grandfather and is very eager to receive his upbringing and training."

"My grandson boldly begged the emperor's grandfather to give him a chance and allow him to follow his emperor's grandfather to Chengde to participate in the Autumn Festival this autumn."

"There are still four months until Qiu Ni. During these four months, my grandson will practice hard on horseback and archery, and strive to perform to the satisfaction of his grandfather in Qiu Ni."

"If by then the imperial grandfather is satisfied with his grandson's performance and begs the imperial grandfather to be kind enough to raise and train his grandson, it will be a great reward for his grandson."

Every autumn, unless there were special circumstances, Emperor Jing'an would go to Chengde to organize the army, Huairou vassal state, receive the Mongolian vassal king, and also conduct autumn hunting, that is, hunting.

Historically, Emperor Jing'an Qiu Ni, the emperor's grandson, only brought adults or those he named personally.

Yuan Qingbai's words made Emperor Jing'an appreciate him more and more, and felt that the 12-year-old grandson was a genius. These words once again reflected his intelligence and his ability. ambition.

The third prince felt the same way at this moment.

Emperor Jing'an smiled at Yuan Qingbai and said, "The archery skills you showed just now are very poor. In just four months, do you have the confidence to master riding and archery?"

Yuan Qingbai looked solemn: "My grandson will definitely study hard and practice hard."

Emperor Jing'an nodded: "It doesn't matter, it's rare for you to be small and ambitious, so I will allow you to do this!"

Yuan Qingbai hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude: "My grandson thanks my great grandfather!"

The seventh prince became anxious: "Father, this is not allowed!"

Emperor Jing'an glared at the Seventh Prince: "I have made up my mind, so there is no room for you to talk too much!"

Seventh Prince: "..."

Emperor Jing'an glanced at the princes and continued: "For the sake of fairness, any grandson of the emperor over ten years old who wants to go to Qiu Sui this year can do so."

"At that time, I will let these grandchildren have a competition. If there is one that satisfies me, either one or two, I will keep them by my side and raise them."

When these words came out, the eyes of the seventh prince, who was originally depressed, suddenly lit up...

The third prince had both joy and sorrow.

To his joy, today he suddenly discovered that his third son was so outstanding. What he was worried about was that Yuan Qingbai could not practice horseback riding and archery well in four months, but might have given the princes an advantage. He knew that the seventh prince had a son who was very good at horseback riding and archery.

Fortunately, the third prince heard it. Emperor Jing'an only said that he would choose the grandson who satisfied him to raise him, instead of raising the grandson who hunted the most in the competition.

This means that even if Yuan Qingbai does not hunt the most in the competition, his performance can satisfy Emperor Jing'an, and he can get this holy favor.

Even so, it was still difficult for the third prince to think about it. Yuan Qingbai's current archery skills were extremely poor, let alone mounted archery, but Qiu Xi was only four months away.

Even though the third prince just told Emperor Jing'an that he was frightened, he naturally hoped in his heart that he could have a son who would be raised by Emperor Jing'an.

Yuan Qingbai is quite confident in himself.

His golden finger is not only a magical power, but also a very strong physical ability, including strength, speed, endurance, agility and other athletic qualities.

He should be more efficient in practicing mounted shooting.

No, yesterday he tried archery with a drawn bow at Prince Yiqin's Mansion, and today he tried it again at Dangchun Garden, and he hit one more arrow than yesterday. This is a good sign!

In the next four months, he will study hard and practice hard. He is very serious about this.

……

……

Everyone dispersed from the martial arts field.

Yuan Qingbai followed closely the third prince and the ninth prince.

At this time, the third prince said to Yuan Qingbai: "You go home. I will see you when I return home in the evening."

Yuan Qingbai said: "Father, my son has something to ask for."

The third prince asked: "What's the matter?"

Yuan Qingbai said: "In order for my son to study hard and practice riding and archery with all his heart, and strive to have a performance that satisfies the emperor's grandfather in the fall of this year, I beg my father to send my son to the army for four months."

The martial arts training ground in Prince Yiqin's palace is quite large and can be used to practice riding and shooting.

But as far as Yuan Qingbai knew, Xiahou was not a princess with good personal character, and she had always hated the original owner. Yuan Qingzhe's character was even more problematic.

He got such a good fortune today, and there was no guarantee that Xiahou or Yuan Qingzhe would cause trouble.

Defenses can not do without.

Many clan members died young in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many of them were murdered...

Although it is very unlikely that Xiahou or Yuan Qingzhe would murder him because of such a good fortune, there is a high possibility that they would make things difficult for him in order to prevent him from studying hard and practicing horse riding and archery and to stand out.

The third prince often went out of Beijing on business.

Yuan Qingbai doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing now.

A man's ambitions are all over the world. Since he has become the grandson of the emperor in this life, he has ambitions in the world. If he can avoid getting himself into family disputes early, he might as well avoid it.

Now he just wants to try his best to win the satisfaction of Emperor Jing'an in this year's Autumn Festival and be raised by Emperor Jing'an, so that his life will jump to a big height.

However, it was not convenient for him to say these words directly to the third prince.

The third prince hesitated for a while and then said to the ninth prince: "Can the ninth brother arrange this?"

The Ninth Prince reached out and patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't worry, I will take care of it and arrange it properly."

The Ninth Prince has practiced martial arts diligently since he was a child, and is also good at the art of war. He has also held important positions in the army, achieved considerable military exploits, and personally promoted a group of military attachés.
