"Miss? What are you doing again?" Xiao Cui ran to my side with sleepy eyes, curious and worried.
I woke up extra early today and was standing in the spacious backyard of the Mu Mansion, practicing my bow. On the way back home, I still felt a bit unsatisfied, so I went to a woodworking shop on the main street and bought a bow and a bucket of arrows. As for the straw target, I hung the round straw mat that used to cushion my seat on the far wall.
Practicing something like this is painful and difficult at first, but once you notice a little progress, you will become more and more motivated.
I was truly the apple of everyone's eye in the Mu Mansion. After Mu Anguo knew about it, he just asked everyone in the Mu Mansion to be careful and asked me not to hurt anyone. At the beginning, Zhuang kept watching me, fearing that the bows and arrows would hurt me. My brother helped me pick out a few high-quality wooden bows and personally fixed the straw targets for me with iron nails, and told me to just have fun.
One day, when I was drawing my bow and aiming at the bull's eye, the maid from the Mu Mansion suddenly ran into the backyard and said, "Miss, there's a girl who calls herself 'Shuang'er' who wants to see you. She says you have a very good relationship!"
Shuang'er? Could it be the princess? How did she get out of the palace? I quickly said: "Hurry up, let her in!" I drank some water and quickly wiped the sweat off my face as I prepared to greet her. She jumped into my arms like a rabbit: "Wuwuwu Sister Mu, I miss you so much..."
I was completely taken aback by her enthusiasm and was about to pat her back to comfort her. But she slipped out of my arms again and said, "Sister Mu, why do you stink of sweat?"
…
What can I say? What can I say except smile?
"Sister Mu, you can actually shoot arrows!" She noticed the bow I had placed aside, and then saw a few arrows stuck on the straw target in the distance. She was surprised and said, "Sister Mu, I really admire you!"
After I took a bath, I sat in the backyard with her and chatted. It turned out that since I was away these few days, she had to give the cakes she made to other concubines to taste. She confided to me with tears in her eyes: "They only say it's delicious, but they don't even eat a bite... It's still me who feels a sense of accomplishment watching Sister Mu eat..."
It turns out that I have this ability... "That's because they don't know the delicious food in the world!" I said sincerely. Those concubines don't know what they have missed.
She hugged me tightly: "Sister Mu knows you are the best!" I was almost suffocated by her and quickly changed the subject: "You, how did you get out?"
She let go of my hand, tilted her head and smiled at me: "Brother Heng, let me out!"
The heroine’s halo is just great!
"I was so depressed after touring the harem that day that I wanted to run to Sister Mu's yard to find some comfort..." She held her chin: "But guess what? I saw Brother Heng sitting in your yard!"
I was cracking melon seeds when I choked with a cough. Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao hurried over and patted my back to save my life.
"Hehehehe, thanks to Sister Mu, I can sneak out of the palace to play!" She blinked at me with gratitude.
I was completely confused and blinked back at her.
"I said to my brother, 'Sister Mu and I have a good relationship. Sister Mu must be missing me now in the mansion!' Sister Mu, do you miss me?" She shook my sleeve.
Oh my god, I really forgot. I smiled awkwardly: "Hmm..."
"I knew it!" she smiled smugly.
I quickly changed the subject: "And then he let you out?" Back then, I was standing by the door, blowing the cold wind, and serving him tea and water...
"Of course not, I still have to rely on Sister Mu!" She gave me a sly smile: "Brother Heng asked me to tell you a message -"
"The library has recently introduced a batch of new storybooks."
"Although I don't know what Brother Heng means..." She frowned slightly but then smiled happily: "But after all, he let me out because I had to pass on the message!"
I was startled, an indescribable emotion spreading through my heart, but it quickly subsided. I came to my senses: I had been away for so long, where could he hide from those ferocious concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards?
