Chapter 454 I Raised a Troublemaker

Emperor Mingpei was a man of both civil and military talents. He had never gained weight even when he was old and still had a straight body. When he put on his hunting suit, he looked majestic and handsome.

At this moment, Prime Minister Yuan had not left yet. He also stood up and said with a smile: "The emperor is still as majestic as ever."

He said to Tuanzi, "When you, Yeye, led the border troops back to the city, you were dressed in military uniforms and rode a tall horse. That was the true power of Hess..."

Emperor Mingpei also sighed: "It's been thirty years in a flash."

He shook his head and pressed Tuanzi's little head again: "Change your clothes, let's go!"

Xinbao said "oh" and went to ask someone to help him tie his cloak. Emperor Mingpei asked Yuanxiang again: "Do you want to go and take a look?"

"No, no," Yuanshang was the emperor's companion in those days, and he was more casual in private: "I don't have the emperor's ability in both civil and military affairs, so I can only watch there."

Emperor Mingpei was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Tuanzi from the corner of his eye and was startled: "Xinbao!!"

Xinbao was also startled by him: "Huh?"

Emperor Mingpei asked, "What are you doing?"

Tuanzi was carrying the big bow she had chosen on her back, and several eunuchs nearby were holding up their hands.

Tuanzi asked curiously, "Ye Ye, isn't he going to take Xin Bao to shoot arrows?"

Emperor Mingpei was both angry and amused: "How old are you? Can you carry such a big bow?"

Xinbao argued: "The bow should be bigger, so it looks more majestic and beautiful. Besides, Xinbao's clothes match the color of this gem."

Emperor Mingpeidi looked at her chubby little face and couldn't bear to tell her that prestige...has nothing to do with you! He paused for a moment and said, "Let her carry it and let her try it out for herself whether it's heavy or not!"

Carrying a bow means putting a person inside and putting the string on the shoulder. But the bow she picked was too big, almost taller than her. It would touch the ground if she hung it down. Tuanzi carried it very seriously and stretched out her hand to Mingpeidi: "Go, go, faster, Xinbao can't hold on for long."

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He was speechless: "Why carry it if you can't carry it!"

Tuanzi said, "But Xinbao also wants to be as majestic as Yeye."

Emperor Mingpei opened his mouth, then closed it again, feeling inexplicably happy.

He silently reached out and held the bow and arrow for her, and the grandfather and grandson walked out of the door slowly.

Xinbao no longer had to bear the weight of the bow, so his small body relaxed immediately, and he asked him, "Yeah, do you know anyone who can draw?"

Emperor Mingpei directly ordered: "Recruit a few painters."

A eunuch responded and left.

Emperor Mingpei asked, "What do you need a painter for? What do you want him to paint?"

Tuanzi said happily: "Xinbao and Yeye are both so majestic, if I draw them, they can be passed down to future generations."

Emperor Mingpei nodded and said with a smile: "Will it be passed down to future generations, and everyone will know that I have a troublemaker?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly saw a yellow dog running towards him.

Xinbao was startled and hugged Mingpeidi's legs: "Yeah yeah!"

Emperor Mingpei was not panicked. He looked forward and saw Yuan Shenjue chasing after him from behind. He said with a smile, "Xinbao, don't you recognize me? This is Shen Qiu."

He bent down and touched it twice. Xinbao took a look and asked in surprise, "Is Shen Qiu this big?"

She slowly let go of Mingpeidi's legs, "Does he still recognize me?"

Yuan Shenjue smiled and said, "Of course I know him, otherwise why would I come here?"

Xinbao stepped out of the circle of the bow and arrow. Shen Qiu kept yelling at her. Xinbao stretched out her little hand and touched her, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it was you."

Shen Qiu tilted his head, his fox eyes were sparkling, and his fur was shiny and smooth. It was obvious that he was well-fed.

Emperor Mingpei looked at it and said, "This fox has completely lost its wildness.

Yuan Shenjue nodded: "It was fine when we were in Yutang Village. It hunted on its own. Senior Brother brought it here and kept it in the yard. The servants didn't dare to let it out on its own, so it gradually became fat and couldn't run anymore."

Xinbao touched it for a while, and invited Mingpeidi: "Yeah, do you want to touch it? Shenqiu's fur is so nice to touch."

Emperor Mingpei said, "I don't want to touch it."

Xinbao touched him a few more times: "Xinbao wants to go hunting with Yeye, Brother Xiaoxian, Shenqiu, do you want to go?"

Yuan Shenjue smiled and said, "Let's go."

He stood up and motioned Shen Qiu to follow. Just as Emperor Mingpei was about to hand the bow to the servant, Xinbao ran back and put the bow back into the loop, still holding his belt in one hand.

Emperor Mingpei could only continue walking like this holding the bow and arrow.

Yuan Shenjue noticed it quickly and came over to take over, while Shen Qiu followed behind staggeringly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The small parade ground was not far away and they arrived there quickly. Less than ten steps ahead, a straw target as big as an umbrella had been erected. A platform as high as a leg had also been placed in front, to make it easier for the emperor to teach his granddaughter archery.

Xinbao took off her cloak in a proper manner, and Emperor Mingpei carried her onto the stage, not forgetting to put a small ring on her finger while explaining to her: "Spread your feet apart, yes, just like this, and hold the string with your hands, three fingers on the string..."

Tuanzi's chubby hands were a little too fleshy to hold on, and Mingpeidi was really afraid that she would cut her hands, so he used his fingers to separate them for her: "Don't block it with your hands, otherwise it will collapse accidentally. Release it quickly... Look forward..."

Xinbao is quite serious about his work.

Yuan Shenjue had never learned archery, but he became interested and whispered to someone to bring him a bow and arrow.

The eunuch trotted over and brought it, and he stood beside him, trying to draw the bow according to the movements taught by Emperor Mingpei.

Emperor Mingpei took a glance and said, "Just do as he does."

Tuanzi said: "Xinbao already knows how to do it."

Emperor Mingpei said: "Then Xinbao, try it. You must let go of your hand in time. Do you understand?"

Xinbao nodded.

Emperor Mingpei taught her with the big bow. He looked at her and felt a little worried. He hugged Tuanzi towards him and asked her to stay away from the bow and arrow. "Stay away from the bowstring. When Yeye says shoot, you must let go in time and decisively. Remember?"

"Remember," Tuanzi nodded: "Yeah, don't worry!"

Emperor Mingpei hummed, then slowly pulled the bowstring a little, not daring to use too much force, and said, "Are you ready? Fire!"

As soon as he let go, the arrow flew out crookedly. The straw target in front of him was too close and too big, so it went in with a snap. Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. My granddaughter has just started learning archery and she never misses a target."

Tuanzi said modestly: "It's a pity that the painter hasn't arrived yet, so no one is recording this wonderful scene."

"Nothing," Emperor Mingpei said, "When they come, Yeye and Xinbao can shoot another arrow. Xinbao, do you want to try with a small bow and arrow?"

Tuanzi nodded: "That's fine."

She changed to a small bow and arrow. Ming Peidi held her belly with one hand and watched the little girl follow the movements he taught her. Although her movements were not standard, she remembered the key points.

Then I pulled it and it didn’t open.

Emperor Mingpei smiled, held her little hand, and exerted a little strength. The small arrow slowly floated out and hit the straw target in front of him.

Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, you always hit the target."

Fang Wuyou watched silently from behind.

I originally thought that the emperor was just trying to coax his granddaughter...but as I watched, I realized that the emperor really felt that way...
