Le You was still thinking about the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace, so he asked the palace maid to prepare a bowl of fish soup and put it in the food box in advance, ready to send it to the Empress Dowager.
After dinner, Le You and his two younger brothers left Yongning Palace together. Li Yao and the other two girls also bowed to Li Yuanjing in a proper manner and returned to the palace under the escort of the palace servants.
The moon rises over the willows and night falls.
Shen Wei ate too much in the evening, so she and Li Yuanjing took a walk in the yard to cool off.
On a spring night, the palace walls were quiet, and the chirping of unknown insects could be heard from the grass. The roses in the yard were uprooted and the newly planted flowers and plants were wilting. The two men walked to the archery target in the backyard. The lanterns on the eaves were bright, illuminating the backyard.
Li Yuanjing was in high spirits and said to Shen Wei, "Come, I will teach you archery again."
Shen Wei: “…”
She didn't really want to learn.
But Li Yuanjing had already asked the eunuch to deliver a bow and arrow that was slightly lighter. He held Shen Wei in his arms and taught her how to draw the bow step by step: "Draw the bow with enough force and raise your arms."
Shen Wei leaned her back against Li Yuanjing's chest and slowly drew the bow according to his instructions.
call out--
The arrow went askew.
Li Yuanjing did not give up and continued to teach her patiently. There was a slight cool breeze at night, blowing up the black hair at Shen Wei's temples, and the ends of her hair brushed against the corners of Li Yuanjing's lips like feathers.
Itchy.
There is also a light and elegant fragrance, which smells very nice.
That was the unique scent of Shen Wei.
Li Yuanjing lowered his gaze, and from his angle, he could see Shen Wei's beautiful profile. The corners of her pink lips were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a faint glow of water on her lips. Her skin is as white as jade, her eyelashes are long and curled, and her figure is as slender as a willow.
As Shen Wei drew the bow, her slender arms vaguely touched Li Yuanjing's chest.
Unconsciously teasing.
Bang--
“Hit!”
Shen Wei practiced more than ten times, and the arrow finally hit the target. She turned around happily, looked at Li Yuanjing with sparkling eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I hit the target. We will continue practicing tomorrow."
The next moment, Shen Wei found that Li Yuanjing's eyes were a little strange, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in his black eyes.
Li Yuanjing hooked his hand around Shen Wei's slender waist, lowered his head slightly, and enveloped Shen Wei with his warm breath. His voice was hoarse: "Go back to the bedroom."
A breeze suddenly blows, rippling the spring water.
...
...
Inside the Qing Palace, Li Nanzhi returned to Yuxiu Palace in the moonlight, carrying a food box in her hand. Yuxiu Palace was the bedroom of Concubine Mei Liu Ruyan. When night fell, only a few palace maids were sweeping the floor in the yard.
Yuxiu Palace is always quiet and deserted.
Li Nanzhi walked through the long corridor and saw that the lights in the attic were still on. Liu Ruyan had not fallen asleep yet. She ordered people to place a few tables and chairs on the empty platform on the pavilion, and was drinking alone facing the moon.
"Mother." Li Nanzhi called softly.
It was a cool spring night, and the lonely moonlight was shining in the inner courtyard of the palace. Liu Ruyan sat on the railing, her white sleeves fluttering in the wind, and she seemed to be about to ascend to heaven in the next moment.
Li Nanzhi said worriedly, "Mother, it's cold at night. I brought a bowl of hot fish soup for you to try."
