The Sixth Prince really kept his word. After tasting the cooking skills of his elder brother's chef in Yichun Garden, he thought it was quite good and immediately asked Dexi to take some silver to reward the chef waiting outside.
"Sixth brother is really generous. He gave me money without hesitation. Unlike my younger brother, he is always so stingy when it comes to spending money. Sigh, life is so hard now."
Yinzuo really didn't even bother to look at Yin'er now. Seeing him reciting the wedding song again, he simply reached out and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Brothers, whoever says that life is hard, it's not your turn. Don't think I don't know how much money Concubine Yi gives you every month. What's the matter? Are you envious of your sixth brother's good life? Don't say that I don't love you. Sixth brother, I'll give you a tip. Isn't Khan Ama living in Qingxi Book House? Go find him and make trouble. That's how Sixth brother gets his money."
Yin'er covered the back of his head and glanced at his sixth brother. "That's anger, but he dared not speak out. You think everyone is you? Don't I know that Khan Ama lives in Qingxi Book House? If I dared to make trouble, I would still be here to make fun of you."
The other brothers were quite used to Yinzhen being defeated by Yinzuo's few words again. He deserved it because he knew he was no match for the other party and yet he couldn't control his big mouth. He deserved to be beaten. Don't you know that the one who provokes first will be the meanest and will not complain even if he is beaten to death?
After being punished, Yinzhen naturally became obedient. After having a good meal and drinking, and with nothing else to do, the brothers chatted for a while after the meal, but Yinzhen, the hyperactive child, became restless.
"Brother, judging from the way you and Ihana are dressed, there should be a training ground in your garden. Why don't you take us there?"
Everyone felt that it was a bit boring to sit like this, so they naturally nodded in agreement to Yinzhi's words. Yinzhi himself had always been a martial artist, and seeing that everyone wanted to go to the training ground to take a look, there was naturally no reason for him to refuse.
"Of course there is a training ground. When you came this morning, I was practicing horseback riding and archery there with Ihana. Since you want to go and see it, let's go now."
The training ground was not far from where Yinzhen lived. The brothers strolled along and soon arrived there. At first glance, they were surprised to see that it had all kinds of facilities, weapons and targets neatly displayed, and the venue was extremely spacious, not inferior to the archery pavilion where they usually took horse riding and archery lessons.
"How's it going? This place is pretty good, isn't it? You know, I don't have any hobbies. My favorite is swordplay. When Khan Ama gave me this garden, it was originally a bamboo forest. Bamboo is such an elegant thing, you, my brother, can't play with it, so they simply had the bamboo cut down and turned it inside out, turning it into a training ground. Usually, when I have free time, I take Ihana and the others here to ride horses and practice archery. Today, since you're here, let's have some practice too. We'll stop at a few points and just treat it as fun."
As the sons of Kangxi, Yinzuo and his companions could not be said to be very good at riding and shooting, but at least they could have a little competition. Upon hearing Yinzhi's proposal, everyone was eager to try, and Yin? could not wait and was the first to stand up.
"I've often heard from my third and sixth brothers that Big Brother is an amazing archer and horseman. However, I was born too late, so I didn't have the honor of witnessing Big Brother's demeanor as he slaughtered his enemies on the training grounds. Now that I have this opportunity, I'll challenge you to a fight. I hope you'll show me some mercy."
Yinzhen has always been confident in his riding and archery skills, so he would naturally not refuse Yinzhen's challenge. He quickly asked people to prepare bows and arrows and set up targets.
"Big brother, please go first. Please set an example for your younger brother."
Yinzhi nodded when he heard this, and walked to the designated position first. He took the bow and arrow from the guard, drew the bow and arrow, held his breath, and stared at the target intently. With a "whoosh", the arrow flew towards the target at a high speed, then passed straight through the center of the target, and finally was deeply nailed into the tree trunk about dozens of meters behind the target, which caused the onlookers to cheer.
"Big brother is really amazing. I originally thought that if I could beat you today, I could go back and brag to my brothers. But now seeing what you did, it seems that bragging is no longer possible."
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. Yinzhen let Yinzhi go first just now because he wanted to test his elder brother's strength. He knew that his elder brother was good at riding and shooting, but he didn't know that his elder brother was so good at riding and shooting. Now, let alone bragging to his brothers, it would be good if he didn't get laughed at by them.
"Don't be discouraged, Tenth Brother. Archery is nothing more than practice makes perfect. I've seen you guys practice archery on horseback at the Archery Pavilion before. Tenth Brother has good arm strength and good accuracy. With diligent practice, it's not impossible for you to surpass me one day. Besides, didn't we say before that this should all be for fun? Tenth Brother, why don't you just treat this as practice at the Archery Pavilion? If there's anything you don't understand, I'll teach you."
Although Yinzhen said this to comfort Yinzhen, what he said was true. Yinzhen was indeed talented in archery.
"Then I will show my ugliness. If there is anything I haven't done well, I hope you can give me some advice later."
Yin? took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He recalled the archery skills that the riding and archery master taught him when he was studying in the archery pavilion. Then he slowly pulled the bowstring. At this time, there was silence around the training ground. Everyone's attention was almost entirely focused on the arrow in Yin?'s hand. He loosened his hand holding the bowstring, and the arrow flew straight towards the target. Everyone's eyes followed it until they saw the arrow firmly pierce the center of the bull's eye, and then their hearts relaxed.
"Alas, I am still far behind my elder brother. I lost the competition today."
The outcome was decided. Although Yin? had known for a long time that he could not beat his elder brother, his mood was still somewhat affected by the result. There was a hint of frustration in his voice. Yinzhi felt helpless when he saw him like this. Didn't he say before that it was all just a joke? Why did he take it seriously? But it was not appropriate for his younger brother not to be comforted like this.
"Tenth brother, at your age, being able to shoot an arrow like this is already very impressive. With time, you will surely be able to improve. You should know that your sixth brother couldn't even reach the target when he was your age."
Alas, you are here to comfort me, but why do you have to put me down? What if I can't reach the target? What if you can hit the target from a hundred paces away? I still rescued you from outside Khan Ama's tent in the Mobei camp. Otherwise, considering Khan Ama's furious look at that time, you would have just kneeled down.
"Big brother is right. Even now, I, your sixth brother, can still operate like a tiger, not to mention being your age. I can hit the target with a 0.25, but so what? I still live a confident life. Yin? Ah, big brother relies on this skill to survive on the battlefield. We shouldn't use our hobbies to challenge other people's professions."
It is said that our Sixth Prince is thick-skinned. His confidence is not just talk. Not only did he say so, he also went on stage in person to let Yin Xi see it with his own eyes, and then let Yin Xi fully experience what individual differences are.
"Sixth brother, I've finally opened my eyes today. How did you manage to pass Khan Aman with such poor archery skills?"
