Chapter 71 Show off your skills
In the crowd, Yun Wan was lost in thought.
Although he remembered the key points of archery and had the correct posture, Asui's first arrow still missed.
After being discouraged, he tried again.
This time, Emperor Jingxuan changed his usual habit of just watching without expressing his opinion, and spoke up to correct Asui's posture.
He stepped forward and stood behind Asui, tapping his toes and pressing his palms, forcing Asui's lower body to be more stable and his bow posture to be more correct. The whole person was like a young poplar rising from the ground.
From a distance, the two figures, one big and one small, one tall and one short, are particularly eye-catching.
Fuling sighed in her heart, "Aunt, His Majesty is so kind to the young master, even personally teaching him. To me, they are just like an ordinary father and son."
Yun Wan's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression changed slightly.
She stared at Fuling, a solemn expression on her face, and her eyes were filled with a complexity that others could not understand.
Fuling was frightened by her gaze and didn't understand what was going on. "Auntie?"
Yun Wan's lips moved as she said calmly, "Don't say such things anymore."
Fortunately, they were far away, so Fuling used a hollow voice.
"Look straight ahead, throw away all distractions, and just stare at the bull's eye."
"When you feel you have aimed, don't hesitate to release the arrow."
Emperor Jingxuan bent down and held Asui's little arm, speaking in a cold tone.
Asui put on a stern face and did as he was told seriously. After he nodded, Emperor Jingxuan let go of his hand and let him do it himself.
"Bang--"
This arrow was much better than the first one, and it actually hit the fifth ring!
"Five rings! Lu Changsui hit the fifth ring! Two more than the third ring!"
"Who just shot the three rings and laughed at him?"
“........”
Emperor Jingxuan raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his narrow eyes.
This kid is pretty good.
When Asui heard that he had hit the fifth ring, his fair face was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Yun Wan and a smile broke out on his face, as if saying: Mother, I hit the fifth ring!
Normally, Asui is a little boy with an old-fashioned look. He looks smart and cute, but he doesn't like to laugh. But at this moment, when he smiles, his eyebrows are curved, his mouth is open, and his face is handsome and fair, which makes him look more like Yun Wan.
Looking up, Yun Wan's heart and eyes were filled with this boy at this moment. Her smile was as bright as a flower and she could not see anything else.
Emperor Jingxuan sighed inwardly.
He gathered his thoughts and glanced at Asui, saying calmly, "Continue."
Three arrows, one left.
He wanted to see how far this kid could go.
Facing Asui's bright and clear eyes, Emperor Jingxuan curled his lips and said, "If you want to make your mother happier, then do your best."
Ah Sui nodded heavily, looking at him with sparkling eyes and said firmly, "I will, Your Majesty!"
He felt that His Majesty was indeed an excellent person. Without his guidance, Asui might not have been able to hit the fifth ring with that arrow.
Drawing the bow and raising the arrow again, Asui took a deep breath and stared intently at the bull's eye opposite him. Despite his small body, every move he made exuded indescribable nobility and awe.
Commander Wei took a look and found that the backs of the two, one big and one small, were quite similar. He thought that maybe it was because they were taught by His Majesty personally?
"Bang--"
Asui shot the arrow the moment he aimed at the bull's eye.
The arrow cut through the sky and headed towards the target at lightning speed.
After a while, the palace maid raised the flag and reported the number.
“——Eight Rings!”
As soon as the words fell, the school martial arts field suddenly boiled over.
"Eight rings! Oh my god, it's eight rings!"
"Lu Changsui actually shot an eight-ring!"
"It was his first time shooting arrows, and he hit the eighth ring after only three attempts! How amazing!"
“........”
Asui stood there in a daze, his rosy little face full of disbelief.
He, he actually shot the eight rings!
Coming back to his senses, he held the black feather bow and walked before Emperor Jingxuan, his tone unable to conceal his excitement and gratitude: "Your Majesty, thank you!"
He thought he was already satisfied with being able to hit the five rings today, because in this way he had proved himself to his classmates and won the bow that suited him!
Emperor Jingxuan glanced down at him and said, "If you really want to thank me, just say a few good words to your mother."
Asui:?
The adults' thoughts were complicated and even Asui couldn't figure it out no matter how smart he was.
So he hesitated for a moment and then put it out of his mind and came to Yun Wan.
He said with great energy, "Mother, I got hit by the eighth ring! Did you see it?"
Yun Wan squatted down, touched his soft face, and pinched it, saying, "Of course mother saw it. My dear boy is really amazing. Mother is proud of you!"
As she said this, she exclaimed in amazement, "How can Guaibao be so amazing? Whose child is this? How can he be so amazing?"
Asui smiled shyly and threw himself into Yun Wan's arms, "It's my mother's..."
He looked up, not forgetting to show the small bow in his hand to Yun Wan, and said with his head held high and his chest puffed out, "Mother, I can practice archery from now on. When I can hit the target every time, I will show you!"
Yun Wan smiled and said gently, "Okay, I'll be waiting for the day when my dear boy can hit the target every time."
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the school martial arts arena. Pei Qian's loud voice could be faintly heard:
"Uncle is so awesome! Show us some more of your skills!"
The Third Prince also had a look of admiration on his face: "Father is so awesome!"
Commander Wei sighed, "As expected of Your Majesty, your archery skills are truly unrivaled and have never diminished!"
Commander Wei had once followed Emperor Jingxuan on an expedition, and was very familiar with his archery skills. He never expected that after so many years, the emperor, who was already the supreme ruler, had still not slacked off in his archery skills. This made him both admire him and feel ashamed.
An arrow hit the bull's eye. Emperor Jingxuan withdrew his gaze, glanced at the distance inadvertently, and then raised his hand to prepare for another shot.
Fuling looked around, then turned back to Yun Wan and said excitedly, "Aunt, it seems like His Majesty is shooting the arrow, and he hit the farthest bull's eye!"
You have to know that the farthest wooden target is a hundred steps away, and ordinary people like them probably can't even see the center of the target!
Asui was shocked. How could His Majesty be so powerful?
He was immediately encouraged, raised his little face and asked Yun Wan: "Mother, let's go watch His Majesty shoot arrows?"
His eyes were full of anticipation.
Yun Wan nodded in agreement and led him into the training ground.
The moment the mother and son stepped into the shooting range, Emperor Jingxuan released the arrow.
Suddenly, with a "swoosh" sound, the arrow, with a cold silver light, pierced straight into the distance at lightning speed. In an instant, with a "dong" sound, it hit the bull's eye.
Next, Emperor Jingxuan shot arrows one after another at an unimaginable speed.
Drawing the bow and shooting the arrow, hitting the bull's eye, all in one go, it's so easy and exciting.
There were exclamations and cheers all around, and listening carefully, it was all the cries of children. Pei Qian was the most excited among them, and he was almost jumping up and down.
Finally, there were three arrows left in the quiver. Emperor Jingxuan picked them up with two fingers and put them on the bowstring.
As everyone watched with bated breath, three arrows were fired at the same time, hitting the bull's eye.
The next moment, in full view of everyone, the wooden target could not bear the weight and collapsed with a loud bang.
Emperor Jingxuan remained calm, as if he had expected this and was confident of victory.
His slender, bony fingers played with the bow, his long eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were stern, his facial features were sharp and handsome, especially his high nose bridge and strong lines.
Under the scorching sun, his chest was broad, his body was upright, his hair was tied up with a jade crown, and his black robe was fluttering. However, his ordinary attire could not conceal the cold and resolute aura around him.
Suddenly, Yun Wan's breathing stopped slightly.
