Jiaochu

Chapter 27: Testing in the martial arts field ([-])
"You follow what I do, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale." "How are you, are you feeling better?"

"It seems... somewhat useful. I'll try it a few more times."

"I'll teach you a formula: the pole is wider, the bench is longer, the pole is not as long as the bench, and the bench is not as wide as the pole."

"..., isn't this a tongue twister?"

Ye Xingye whispered to Ye Lingxi while taking an arrow and setting up his bow. He didn't even look at the target. He put his finger and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

As if the spell had been broken, the next four arrows hit the bullseye.

"Xing'er's archery skills have improved a lot."

Ye Xingye giggled happily after receiving Ye Lanchen's appreciation.Ye Lanchen's eyes swept over Ye Qingran and said nothing. Ye Qingran lowered her head slightly and squeezed the ridge of the bow tightly with her thin fingers.

The subtle atmosphere between father and son made Ye Lingxi a little strange. She thought to herself, doesn't his father like his eldest brother?
Before, she thought it was because Ye Qingran's biological mother died young and he had no support from his mother's family. In addition, he had a solitary temperament and no basic connections, so those in the palace felt that the eldest prince had no future and was not taken seriously.

Is there some unknown reason behind it?Ye Lingxi couldn't figure out why for a while.

"Ling'er hit all ten arrows, what reward do you want?" Ye Lanchen asked.

Ye Lingjue replied: "Can I teach my sister how to do archery?"

Ye Lingxi: "..."

"I asked you what reward you want, but you took a job for yourself. That's fine." Ye Lanchen waved her hand, and after Ye Lingxi came over, he said to her, "Lingxi, I will let your second emperor brother teach you archery in the future. .”

Ye Lingxixin said, could he refuse?

"Thank you, Father." Ye Lingjue's lips curled up with a faint smile, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to soften a little.

Ye Xing couldn't hide anything in his ambition, so he excitedly told Ye Lingxi about teaching him martial arts.

"Lingxi wants to be a female general with both civil and military skills in the future?" Ye Lanchen half-joked.

"Lingxi must be very majestic if she becomes a female general." Ye Lingxi replied.

Ye Lanchen's serious and childish look made Ye Lanchen smile, and he said fondly: "Da Hui has elite soldiers and generals, so there is no need for a little girl like you to charge into battle." At this point, he looked at Yan Fei and Su Shi and said , "Su Shangshu and General Yan will be back in a few days. Then I will ask Master Xu to give you two a day off."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." They both saluted at the same time and replied.

Rong Jue glanced at the two of them, feeling very unconvinced. His father was also the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was no worse than Su Shi's father, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Everyone was equal, so why should the Su family be favored by the emperor and be favored by others? Have a look?
However, he would soon be able to embarrass Su Shi.

After Yan Fei and Su Shi came on the stage, Ye Lingxi's attention was always focused on them, and she soon discovered something fishy.

Originally, Su Shi and Yan Fei were walking together. Chen Ping came over to ask Su Shi about the topic assigned by the master yesterday afternoon and pulled Su Shi aside. Then Rong Jue approached Yan Fei again and wanted to talk to him, but Yan Fei hadn't opened his mouth yet. Fei then walked in the opposite direction, which was exactly what Rong Jue wanted. His purpose was to separate the two of them so that they could be alone.

Chen Ping pulled Su Shi to stand at the edge, and then Rong Jue came over and stood next to Su Shi, more than ten meters away from Yan Fei. Jin Yao followed Zhao Ce and stood in the middle.
