When Empress Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised, "The queen mother has agreed, how could the emperor refuse?" ”

In her impression, Yuan Zhi never refuted anything that Su Youyi decided, not to mention that it was just such a trivial matter as Xiao Si and Xiao Wu coming to live in the Imperial Garden?

Empress Zhou was puzzled.

Xiao Si knew that she had misunderstood as soon as she heard it, and hurriedly said: "It's not like this, the imperial brother is not the queen mother's words." The queen mother agreed, but she asked us to ask the royal brother, and said that the imperial brother was willing to let us come. But when we went to ask the royal brother, the imperial brother refused us. ”

Empress Zhou nodded after hearing this, "I see." ”

She couldn't help laughing, "The queen mother has even let the emperor take care of your affairs now, and she is really well-intentioned and avoids suspicion." ”

Queen Zhou saw through the problem of this matter at a glance, and Xiao Si and Xiao Wu admired it very much.

Xiao Wu hurriedly said: "Yes, sister-in-law, but think about it, we are in the palace all the year round, and we can only come to the imperial garden occasionally to see the queen mother, doesn't the queen mother want us in her heart?" We are also the biological sons of the queen mother, why can only Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi live in the Imperial Garden for a long time?! ”

Empress Zhou was very reasonable when she heard this, and she smiled and said: "I know what you mean, don't worry, wait for me to persuade the emperor." But we have to wait until the evening, so today you will stay first, and say that it is my words. ”

"Why wait for the evening?"

Xiao Wu was puzzled, and subconsciously asked, Xiao Si hurriedly stopped him, "The imperial sister-in-law has something to go out, haven't you seen it?" ”

said with Queen Zhou: "Then Xiao Wu and I are waiting for news in the garden, even if the imperial sister-in-law persuades the imperial brother and still does not agree, we can stay for most of the day, it's always good." ”

Queen Zhou saw that the two of them were sensible and lively, very interesting, she smiled and said: "I'm going out, but it's not a big deal, just to see your eldest aunt, she also lives in the Imperial Garden these days." Your affairs are in a hurry, I should have gone directly to the emperor, but the emperor has to review the recital at this time on weekdays, and he can only be free at night. Wouldn't it be better to talk about it when he was in a good mood when he was free? ”

When Xiao Si and Xiao Wu heard her very reasonable, they all laughed, "Then let's go to the queen mother first and wait for the news, there is a sister-in-law of Emperor Lao." ”

……

When the fourth and fifth children left, Queen Zhou went to the courtyard of the eldest princess and found that there were already people inside.

The eldest princess has a separate residence in the Imperial Garden, just by Su Youyi's courtyard, also next to the lake, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Queen Zhou walked very slowly all the way, enjoying the scenery along the way, and when she arrived at the eldest princess, she heard Concubine Li's voice.

The two appear to be learning archery in the yard.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of an arrow breaking through the air sounded, and Queen Zhou stepped on this gap into the courtyard, and saw the figures of two women with their backs to her.

Dan'er reminded in time, "The queen mother has arrived-"

The two turned around, it was the eldest princess and Concubine Li, seeing Queen Zhou coming, the eldest princess smiled and said, "Why did the imperial sister-in-law come at this time?" I thought you weren't coming! ”

Say goodbye and salute.

Concubine Li also came up to salute, Queen Zhou looked at the target that the two of them were facing each other, the eldest princess's target was close to the red heart where there were many holes, and the target that Li Concubine was facing only had sporadic holes, none of which were close to the red heart.

She smiled and said: "There are some things in this palace that have stumped on my feet, and my eldest sister's archery skills are really good." Just look at this target, you can see that you are a good player. ”

Celestia was embarrassed, "Where?" But I secretly learned a few tricks from the colt, and he sometimes shot arrows at home, so I asked him to teach me a few times. ”

The eldest princess said as she put down her bow and arrows, "Let's go, let's go and sit in the house." ”

It just so happened that she and Concubine Li were also tired of practicing.

While walking into the house, Queen Zhou asked Concubine Li, "Why did Sister Li come over today?" When you said you were learning to ride a horse, I thought it was just for fun, but I didn't expect to start learning archery. ”

Concubine Li smiled, unable to hide the look of loss in her eyes, "I don't learn very well, and I often can't shoot at the target." I hadn't even started to learn horseback riding, so I thought it would be easier to shoot arrows, so that people could stand firmly. ”

"Actually, it's easier to learn to ride a horse."

The eldest princess said this, and went into the house to order someone to serve tea.

Concubine Li was a little embarrassed and looked at Queen Zhou, "Did the queen make an appointment with the eldest princess today?" Also learning archery? That's a mishap. ”

Queen Zhou said: "It's nothing, it's just right that you are here." Teaching one is also teaching, and two are also teaching, saving the eldest sister a lot of strength. ”

The eldest princess smiled and wrinkled her nose, "The imperial sister-in-law is used to calling me, this can't be done, and you want me to teach horse riding and archery, don't you even pay for your hard work?" ”

"What kind of hardship do you want from me?"

Empress Zhou was not to be outdone, "I only let you teach archery, and I didn't let you teach horseback riding, you should ask for silver with your concubines!" ”

Seeing that their aunt and sister-in-law were so harmonious, Concubine Li was a little disappointed.

Although the eldest princess treats her politely and is conscientious when teaching her archery, the atmosphere between the two is not so relaxed at all.

It is obvious that Queen Zhou is her serious sister-in-law, and she can only joke with Queen Zhou and chat so intimately.

"You drink a cup of tea and rest, just come and teach me."

Queen Zhou deliberately teased the eldest princess, "If I teach it well, am I still stingy with a little silver?" ”

"Listen, listen!"

The eldest princess looked aggrieved, and said to Concubine Li: "The queen hasn't given this silver yet, and she has begun to call people, if I can't teach her well, won't I become a sinner?" ”

After that, the two sisters-in-law laughed together, and Concubine Li also laughed.

The eldest princess drank half a cup of tea, rested for a while, and was about to get up and go out, only to hear Concubine Li say: "I am a little tired from practicing just now, and I want to rest for a while, why don't the eldest princess teach the queen first?" ”

"That's fine."

The eldest princess said: "You rest and rest first, and you can't be in a hurry to learn at the beginning." ”

After saying that, he led Queen Zhou out, and Queen Zhou took the bow handed over by the palace maid and pulled it hard, "It's amazing, this bow is so heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it away easily." ”

"If you can't pull it open, you can't pull it open."

The eldest princess laughed at her, "If you are pulled away by you just learning archery, then you are born with divine power!" At most, just like Concubine Li, the arrow just goes out and falls to the ground. ”

The eldest princess drew the bow and stringed it herself, and Queen Zhou was curious for a while, so she also set up an arrow and shot it at the target casually.

Whoosh –

The arrow flew out and actually poked at the edge of the target, but because the force was too light, it shook a few times and fell down.

The eldest princess was dumbfounded, and Concubine Li in the room also clenched her fists.

How is it possible, could it be that Empress Zhou has learned archery?
