Chapter 13
Winter nights are always extraordinarily long. At the third quarter of the lunar new year, it was still dark, and the palace servants of the Huanyi Bureau had already got up, dressed and washed, ready to welcome a new day.

When the morning light first appeared, it was already the hour of the morning. Xilan put down the clothes in her hands and rubbed her sore arms, "It's strange, where did Ah Jia go? I haven't seen her since I woke up this morning."

Caiwei was also full of doubts, "I saw her once in the backyard at the beginning of Chen. She said she had something important to go out, but why hasn't she come back yet?"

Just as the two were talking, suddenly there was a figure running towards this side in a hurry, it was Ah Jia.

"A Jia, where have you been?" Xi Lan was pulled up by A Jia before she could say anything. "Come with me, or it's too late!" Ah Jia pulled Xilan away, and turned to Caiwei, "Sister Caiwei, wash your clothes first, and I'll explain to you when I come back."

Ah Jia pulled Xilan out from the back door of the Huanyi Bureau, and hurried along the path to the north. "Ajia, where are we going?" Xilan was puzzled by Ajia's sudden pull.

"Secret it now, you will know later, and I promise you will not regret it." Ah Jiashen blinked at Xilan mysteriously, and the speed of his feet did not decrease at all.

Under Ah Jia's urging, the two of them only took more than half an hour from the Huanyi Bureau to the turret in the northeast of the imperial city.Arriving at the bottom of the turret, Ah Jia looked left and right, found the right location, and walked up with Xilan with ease.

"I, what are we doing here? It's terrible to be discovered by the guards." The two were trotting all the way just now, exhausted, and they were panting heavily even when talking.

Ah Jia took Xilan half-squatting around to the left, found a suitable place to sit down against the railing, pointed down and said, "Look." Through the hollow railing, following what Ah Jia pointed, you can see On a large school field, there are many figures busy.

Looking at Xilan's puzzled expression, Ah Jia continued to explain, "Yesterday, I accidentally heard that Commander Lin is going to test the riding and archery of the prince and his companions here today. Well, the third prince is here too."

Following Ah Jia's gaze, he could indeed see the handsome young man talking sideways with the commanding middle-aged man beside him.

Xilan still hesitated, "If the guards find us peeking here."

"Don't worry about that. I ran out early in the morning just for this. I have already discussed with Sister Nan who is in charge of cleaning here today. We will help her clean today, and she agreed." As he said, Ah Jia I didn't know where to take out two rags, and threw one to Xilan, "If someone asks later, we can just say that we are here to clean."

For the riding and archery test school, everyone changed into relatively close-fitting clothes, and the slender figure of the young man was properly outlined.In addition, all of them are the children of nobles, with extraordinary bearing, making them even more graceful.

Ling Zimo wore a moon-white dress today, and stood with his hands behind his back in the crowd, without any tension or discomfort.

"Today's examination school, I think you are very familiar with it. The rules remain the same. Each person has three arrows. The one who hits more targets and is closer to the bull's-eye is the best." As soon as Commander Lin finished speaking, a waiter in charge of taking care of the horses led the horse forward. .

The first boy who took part in the test was a little nervous, and two of the three arrows missed the target, which caused a burst of low laughter from the spectators behind him. He also blushed and came back with his head down, looking extremely embarrassed .
