The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 544: A Tacit Understanding with Tang Jiao (Part 1)

These words are simply fatal.

What's worse is that Tang Yueshan actually said the last two sentences.

The whole meadow fell silent, and the sparrows in the forest did not move. Tang Yueshan, who finally realized what he said, only felt a few crows flying over his head...

Tang Yueshan didn't have such a vicious tongue before, it wasn't that he had a big heart and a fat body, and it wasn't that he could pull a boat in his marshal's belly, but that there were not many military generals with sharp tongues.

He can't lose a fight, and he can't win a fight.

But ever since he became a roommate with Gu Chengfeng, he has lived a life of being teased from time to time, and then he got teased a lot, and the habit became natural. Just now he couldn't hold it back, and said whatever he was thinking .

It was all Gu Chengfeng's fault!

Never admit that she is standing up for Gu Jiao!

does not exist!

impossible!

The atmosphere at the scene was so embarrassing that you could pick out a house in the clear water alley with your toes. Eunuch Wei stared at Princess Ning'an and at His Majesty, both of them looked very unhappy.

It's over, Marshal Tang, you're over.

It's not good for you to offend anyone, you have to offend Princess Ning'an!

Don't you know that Princess Ning'an is His Majesty's favorite?

Tang Yueshan who wanted to cry but had no tears: ...Although what I said was the truth, is it too late for me to regret it now?

"What happened?"

A cold voice sounded from behind several people.

Eunuch Wei turned around in surprise, rushed to salute and said, "Miss Gu? Why did you enter the palace today?"

"I'll come and see my aunt." Gu Jiao said.

The past few days have been busy taking care of Mo Qianxue, and she didn't go into the palace to see how her aunt was doing.

She had just passed by the imperial garden and heard the roar of a certain marshal, so she came over to see what was going on.

The emperor gave Tang Yueshan a cold look, suppressed the urge to drag him down and beat him to death, and said gently to Gu Jiao, "It's Jiaojiao."

"Your Majesty, Princess Ning'an, Marshal Tang." Gu Jiao greeted each other in turn.

Her tone was not very earnest, and it was not like the politeness that Xiao Heng deliberately put on after becoming an official. It was just cold and quiet, and it sounded a little careless.

If someone else spoke like this, the emperor would be angry, but with Gu Jiao's temperament, the emperor would not think that she was being rude to himself and Princess Ning'an.

"Are you guys shooting arrows?" Gu Jiao saw the target not far away,

Judging from the distance, it was about fifty paces.

Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Gu can shoot arrows?"

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Well, I know a little bit, but I'm not very proficient."

Eunuch Wei is a genius, he hurriedly asked with a smile: "Miss Gu, do you want to try?"

"Okay." Gu Jiao nodded.

"Uh..." Eunuch Wei glanced at Princess Ning'an in embarrassment, he only prepared a bow.

Princess Ning'an handed the bow in her hand to Eunuch Wei.

"Thank you, princess." Eunuch Wei stretched out his hands, took the bow respectfully and handed it to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao turned out to be holding the bow with her right hand and the arrow with her left hand.

This made Eunuch Wei and the emperor look sideways. Gu Jiao usually doesn't look like a left-hander, how could she draw a bow with her left hand?

Is it really not very proficient, so I don't know which hand to use to draw the bow?

Gu Jiao, who was not very proficient, took three arrows from the guard's quiver, put them on the bowstring, took aim, and shot them neatly!

Three arrows were fired, and each arrow hit the center of the target, and passed through the center, directly hitting the target!

The emperor was so startled that he held onto the armrest of the chair and sat up straight: "This, this is not proficient?"

"Yes." Gu Jiao nodded, and said seriously, "An archer of the Tang family can shoot four arrows at once, and the arrow can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps. The bullseye is so big, and it only takes fifty steps. An archer of the Tang family can shoot with his eyes closed. middle."

And she still needs to open her eyes to see, and if it is changed to a hundred steps, she can't shoot with such accuracy even if she opens her eyes.

The emperor looked at the target that Gu Jiao shot through, and then at Princess Ning An's arrow that just hit the edge of the target, and suddenly felt that Tang Yueshan's sentence "A blind man can shoot better than you" was not an offense words, but an extremely cruel fact...

"Is it so powerful?" the emperor asked Tang Yueshan solemnly.

"Don't dare, dare not."

Tang Yueshan said he didn't dare, but he pulled his own Tang family bow in his hand, took four arrows and shot them out.

He didn't seem to hit anything, but when Eunuch Wei took the guards to retrieve the arrows he shot, he found that every arrow hit a flower's root and nailed it firmly. on the branch.

This is much more difficult than walking through willows in a hundred steps, at least the leaves of willows are not so thin.

Eunuch Wei took the flowers back.

The emperor was completely speechless now.

Princess Ning'an said: "Miss Gu looks very similar to Marshal Tang in drawing a bow. Is Miss Gu's archery learned from Marshal Tang?"

"No."

"no."

Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan denied it in unison.

The next second, the emperor and the others saw the two of them taking out the handkerchiefs to wipe the bow in their hands at the same time. The movements of the wiping were synchronized, and they habitually dusted the bowstring with the handkerchiefs after wiping.

emperor:"……"

Everyone: "..."

The emperor made Tang Yueshan so angry that he almost forgot what was going on, and only remembered now when he saw him rubbing his bow.

The emperor said: "Princess Ning'an appreciates Tang Aiqing's archery skills very much. If Tang Aiqing is free, go and give Princess Ning'an a lesson or two."

Generally speaking, the emperor is a benevolent monarch. This kindness is a double-edged sword. It can make him respect the people around him, and it can also make him soft-hearted to the courtiers who offend him verbally.

If the late emperor were here today, Tang Yueshan would be stripped of its skin no matter how much value it still has.

Hearing the emperor's words, Tang Yueshan knew that his little life was saved. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, cupped his hands and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, this humble minister is a rough man who doesn't understand etiquette. I'm afraid I offend Princess Ning'an. If Princess Ning'an really wants to learn archery, I can recommend one or two candidates for the princess."

The emperor had just learned about Tang Yueshan's poisonous tongue and was also worried that Tang Yueshan would run into Princess Ning'an again, so he looked at Ning'an who was on the side.

Unexpectedly, Princess Ning'an didn't mind at all and said: "It's okay, Marshal Tang is outspoken, and getting along with him is much more comfortable than those villains who are obedient and disobedient."

Tang Yueshan was not happy about it.

The Tang family's archery skills are not something that can be spread casually. Back then, Princess Ning'an was able to go to the Tang family to learn some archery skills because his father agreed after drinking too much. Afterwards, he was embarrassed to regret it, but he didn't teach it for too long.

It has been said for a few months that Princess Ning'an has left school.

"Is Marshal Tang unhappy?" Princess Ning An asked.

This is a proposition.

Tang Yueshan coughed and said, "I just feel that..."

"He can't teach it." Gu Jiao said, "He was injured in the frontier, and he needs to go back to Beijing for rehabilitation. Archery will affect the effect of rehabilitation."

The scene fell into embarrassment again.

Eunuch Wei's eyes wandered back and forth between the several masters. Princess Ning'an is His Majesty's heart, but the little doctor is also very favored. Who will His Majesty listen to?

Is it his own sister who has loved him since he was a child, or the little genius doctor who has saved his life?

Just when the atmosphere was so embarrassing that it froze, the little fat man Qin Chuyu ran over crying and howling.

"Father! Father! Save me!"

He threw himself into the emperor's arms almost recklessly, and the little fat man grabbed the emperor's lapel with his hands, his body trembling.

This demeanor was too disrespectful to the status of a prince, the emperor frowned, but felt a little bit sorry for his little fat son.

"What's wrong?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

Qin Chuyu was out of breath from crying: "My dog...my dog..."

The emperor frowned: "Speak well, what's wrong with your dog?"

Qin Chuyu cried loudly: "Huang, Huangfuxian killed my dog!"

Everyone's complexion changed.

Huangfuxian's strange temperament is not a secret in the palace, but killing a dog, or killing the prince's dog, is too much.

The emperor frowned and tried to lift the little fat man up from his arms: "Did you make a mistake? How could your cousin kill your dog?"

Qin Chuyu didn't get up from his father's arms, and buried his head firmly in his father's arms: "I saw it with my own eyes! Jing Kong saw it too! He's right there! It's on the side of Taiye Pond! If you don't believe me, father See for yourself!"

Ning An stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go and have a look."

The emperor said: "I will accompany you."

Qin Chuyu grabbed the emperor's lapel tightly: "Father, don't go!"

The emperor said: "Didn't you let me go?"

Qin Chuyu cried: "What should I do if you go? I'm afraid!"

It is really a headache for a prince to be so timid, the emperor sighed: "Let Eunuch Wei take you back to Kunning Palace."

Because of this sudden change, the emperor temporarily had no time to deal with the matter of Tang Yueshan teaching archery to Princess Ning'an, so he and Princess Ning'an went to Taiye Lake.

Tang Yueshan looked at the back of the group of people going away, and muttered: "These delicate princesses can't hit or scold even if they practice arrows, whoever teaches them will be unlucky!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Gu Jiao was staring straight at the Tang bow in his hand, her eyes glowing green,,,

Tang Yueshan's heart was shocked, and he quickly put the Tang family bow into his arms: "Don't even think about it! I won't let you touch it! If you touch it, I'll be a donkey!"
