There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 20 You think everyone is as stupid as you
"Master, this is the imperial palace, it's easy to get in and hard to get out!" Bi Yue held the ice cup for her and fanned her at the same time.

Tang Wanning turned over and took the ice bowl, took a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

"But I'm so suffocated, I can't breathe!"

"You are the empress and concubine now, how can you leave the palace casually!" Bi Luo also persuaded with a smile.

"Since ancient times, there have been no such rules. Yi Nubi said that you should find something to relieve your boredom!"

Tang Waning put down the ice bowl, picked up the fan and fanned it gently.

"correct!"

After a while, her eyes lit up.

"I haven't learned the triple arrow technique that my father taught me before!"

"How could I have forgotten!"

"Bi Yue, go and get my arrows, I want to practice arrows!"

"Now?" Bi Yue looked outside at the poisonous sun.

"Right now! I want to practice three days in winter and three days in summer!" Tang Wanning was categorical.

Bi Yue and Bi Luo looked at each other, then went out helplessly to get ready.

……

Chaoluan Hall is small, and the back garden is full of rockery and rocks, none of which is flat.

Tang Wanning brought Biyue and Biluo to the back garden of Yuqing Palace.

It was hot and the garden was empty.

The blazing sun shines through the dense leaves and falls on the ground in speckles. When the cicadas cry, the green leaves in the pond are whirling, and there are a few budding lotus dotted among them. Occasionally, a breeze blows through, sending a piece of fragrance .

Tang Waning stood in an open space under the big tree by the pond, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good here!"

"I'll be right here!"

Bi Yue and Bi Luo put down the things in their hands, measured the distance and set up the arrow target.

Tang Waning took out a black bearskin bow she brought from home, and took three arrows from the horseskin quiver to put on the bow. She squinted one eye and aimed at the bullseye.

The triple arrow method, as the name suggests, is to shoot all three arrows into the bull's-eye with the fastest speed!
Although it sounds difficult, but her father and brothers know it well, so she has always wanted to learn.

However, the talent is not enough and has not been learned.

Anyway, there is nothing to do in the palace, so why not just practice hard, and in the future you will definitely impress Father.

Under the scorching sun, she was dressed in fiery red clothes, with a longbow in her hand, and her gaze was like a torch.

In the beating spots of light, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead became more and more crystal clear, and under the gentle breeze, her red dress fluttered like a burning cloud in the sky.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Three voices burst out in succession, and three sharp arrows cut through the air and hit the target one after another, but unfortunately... only one hit the target, and the other two hit the edge of the target.

Tang Waning put down her longbow, looking depressed.

"This is too bad, dad will scold me to death if he finds out!"

Bi Yue hurried forward to comfort her.

"Don't worry, ma'am!"

"We have plenty of time, we can practice slowly!"

Tang Wanning was still very upset.

"Come again!"

Bi Luo calmly took off the arrow and handed it to her again.

Next, Tang Wanning aimed and shot again.

However... the result was exactly the same.

Except for the first arrow which could barely hit the bull's-eye, the other two were either crooked or just on the edge of the target!

"What's the matter, I can at least hit two in a row at home!" Tang Wanning became more and more unwilling to admit defeat.

"I don't believe it anymore, come again!"

She shot several times in a row, each time with the same result, summed up in only four words: complete failure.

Tang Waning was hit hard and extremely depressed.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him. Looking back, it was Xia Houjue.

He was wearing a black dress, with brocade ink folding fan on his fingers, and he was walking leisurely on the bluestone path. Different from the ice-cold one in the past, he had a faint smile on his face.

In the flickering light spots, in the breeze fluttering his clothes, he looks like a god descending to earth.

When Tang Wanning came back to her senses, Xia Houjue was already standing in front of her with a half-smile.

"How did you come?"

She looked at the poisonous sun outside and looked a little uncomfortable.

The corner of Xia Houjue's lips curled slightly and did not say much.

He put away the folding fan in his hand and threw it to her, gracefully drew up the longbow, picked a few feathered arrows from the quiver and put them on the longbow.

'Boom!Boom!Boom! ...' several times in succession.

Before Tang Wanning could react, a few sharp arrows pierced the air and landed firmly on the red heart of the target.

"hiss!"

Biyue and Biluo gasped, and Tang Wanning was also extremely shocked.

She counted with wide-eyed eyes: "Six bursts?"

"You can fire six shots in a row!"

Xiahou Jue threw away the longbow calmly, took back the folding fan from her hand, opened it and slapped it casually twice, then turned to look at her with a smile.

"What's so strange about that?"

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" He said and tapped her on the head twice.

"Hey! It hurts!" Tang Wanning covered her forehead.

Xia Houjue smiled contemptuously and said no more.

Tang Wanning was very unconvinced.

"I will practice well, just wait and see!"

"No one teaches, if you can't master the essentials, you can't practice well!" Xia Houjue said lightly.

Tang Wanning's eyes lit up.

"Then can you teach me?"

"cannot!"

"You make a condition!"

"No conditions, just don't teach you!"

Tang Wanning: "..."

Look at her small face from red to blue, from blue to green.

Xia Houjue felt that the whole body and mind were comfortable and pleasing to the eye, which was even more comfortable than a gust of cool wind.

He opened the folding fan and turned around, shaking the fan happily and leaving.

Tang Wanning: "!!!"

"Stop practicing, go back!"

She threw her longbow and left angrily.

Bi Yue and Bi Luo didn't dare to say more, they hurried away after packing up their things.

……

Back to the main courtyard.

Tang Wanning was so angry that she drank two bowls of sour plum soup to suppress the anger in her heart.

"That bastard is really hateful!"

"Master, please keep your voice down!" Bi Luo was so frightened that she tried to persuade her again and again.

Tang Wanning glanced at her, knowing that the wall has ears, so she didn't scold her any more, only said angrily.

"Don't teach me to pull it down, I will practice it myself!"

"I don't believe I can't do it!"

Biluo breathed a sigh of relief.

"When you were at home, the general also taught you for a long time, and you should master some basics of movement."

"As long as you practice hard, you will surely succeed in time!"

"That's natural!" Tang Wanning raised her head and said arrogantly.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that her body was covered with sweat and sticky.

Just about to take a bath and sleep, Biyue came in through the curtain, saying that it was Concubine Liu who came.

"What is she here for?" She asked impatiently.

"Maybe there's something wrong? Master, you don't want to see the servant and send her away!"

As she said that, she was about to turn around, but Tang Wanning hurriedly stopped her.

"No, let her in!"

I am worried that no one will vent their anger, but you have to come to the point of the gun, but no one else is to blame.

"Yes, servant girl, let her come in now!!" Bi Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Concubine Liu quickly came in, carrying an incomparably exquisite food box.

After saluting and greeting her, she stepped forward to show her hospitality with a smile on her face.

"The weather is hot, and the concubine's place has just made tortoise paste, and I want to send some to the princess to taste!"

She took out a small white jade porcelain cup from the food box and presented it herself.
