"Sir, is this possible?" Wang Shouren looked at the scrawled bow and arrow with a look of doubt on his life.
"Stop talking nonsense, pick up your arrows, and draw your bow."
"Creak, creak..." Wang Shouren drew his bow like a full moon.
"shoot!"
"Whoops~" The arrows made of bamboo were not straight and had no feathers. They started to go astray as soon as they left the bowstring. When they reached the target, they missed the target by a full two feet.
"I knew..." Wang Shouren was discouraged, "How can I become a marksman like this?"
“Young people must have perseverance!”
Wang Shouren was helpless, "It's not me who is impatient. It's really... this is a useless effort."
"Huh? You can't say that," Li Qing said with a smile, "Bow shooting is not something that can be achieved quickly. This bow and arrows are indeed a bit rough, but they are still bows and arrows. Do you know what are the prerequisites for a good archer?"
"Accurate shot!"
"...Nonsense!" Li Qing rolled his eyes, "In addition to accurate shooting, there is another important factor, and that is shooting a lot."
"Most of the army uses two-stone bows. An archer who can shoot ten arrows in one breath and can still maintain accuracy is already the best," Li Qing said. "With your current arm strength, you don't need accuracy. If so, you can only shoot five arrows. Practice your arm strength first. As for the bow and arrow...
Don't worry, since I plan to teach you, I must teach you a real person. I will talk to the Supreme Emperor someday and I will ensure that you will be satisfied. "
"That's good." Wang Shouren nodded happily: "By the way, sir, how much can you cum?"
Li Qing thought for a while and said: "With a two-stone bow... it should be able to shoot for an hour."
"...I'm asking how many arrows can be shot."
"Keep cumming for an hour."
Wang Shouren: "..."
"Go on."
…
A bow made of bamboo does not require much strength, not even half as much as a stone bow. Even so, Wang Shouren only shot fifty arrows in a row before his arms were sore and numb and he could no longer use his strength.
He walked to the stone bench next to Li Qing and sat down, rubbing his arms and said, "Sir, can you demonstrate it to me so that I can see what you are doing?"
"This bow and arrow are too rough, and I can't shoot accurately." Li Qing crossed his legs and read the script without raising his head.
"...I even suspect that you are deceiving me."
"Haha... You will know later if this is a lie." Li Qing sat up with a smile and took out a prescription from his arms, "Follow this prescription, take the medicine, soak it with a towel, and apply heat to the sore part of your arm. In this way, the root cause of the disease will not be left behind.”
"Hey, okay." Wang Shouren was skeptical about Li Qing Shenshe, but he did not doubt his medical skills. This was the miracle doctor who diagnosed diseases for the Supreme Emperor. He took the prescription and stood up to practice again.
"Don't worry." Li Qing stopped him, "Have a rest, haste makes waste."
Wang Shouren sat down again and asked, "Can you teach me some skills first?"
"It's useless to teach. This bow and arrow are not standard. You just need to familiarize yourself with bowing and shooting first. I will teach you later." Li Qing said with a smile: "You really see the same thing, love the same thing, and learn the same thing. You are not afraid of anything." Yes, but still not good at it?”
Wang Shouren pondered for a moment and said, "I think I can master it, and I don't have to learn too much."
"...You still have to be focused." Li Qing said, "You are from a scholarly family, and you will eventually take the imperial examination. You have to have priorities in life..."
Li Qing was afraid that Wang Shouren would bite off more than he could chew and accomplish nothing in the end, just like Balabala's preaching.
Wang Shouren didn't refute, just listened quietly, and finally said: "Sir, you have always been open-minded, why...are you like my father?"
He smiled and said: "I am not a child, how can I not understand this truth? The reason why is so because I can control it."
Wang Shouren said seriously: "Maybe in the eyes of my husband, I am greedy, but I am confident that I can be good at everything!"
After a pause, "Zuo Zhuan said: Establish virtue, establish merit, and establish words; these are the three immortals!"
Wang Shouren was full of energy and his eyes were shining: "This is my pursuit in life, and I am willing to work hard for it and persevere."
"..." Li Qing touched his nose and said: After talking for a long time, this guy didn't listen to a word. Forget it, let him go.
After being together for so long, Li Qing also got to know Wang Shouren to a certain extent. He knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he simply stopped trying.
After all, Lao Wang was helpless.
He is not so conceited that his words are more effective than his own father.
"continue."
…
"My sons and ministers meet my father and the emperor and my mother and concubine." Zhu Youqian saluted respectfully.
"Get up, get up quickly." Zhu Jianshen looked at his son with a smile. After not seeing him for a long time, his son had grown a lot taller, almost reaching the tip of his nose.
Zhu Youzhao has fair skin and a delicate appearance. He is a bit thin due to his long body. Perhaps because he is fond of studying, he has a touch of delicateness.
Concubine Chen greeted her with greetings and was very happy to see her son again.
When a prince reaches the age of ten, he usually has to move out of the palace and live in the Tenth Prince's Mansion outside the palace. It has been three years since Zhu Youqi moved out, but it is not easy for mother and son to meet once.
Zhu Youqiu was also very happy, responded one by one, and was well-behaved and sensible.
After the mother and son talked for a while, Zhu Jianshen said: "Youji, you will be fourteen years old after the Chinese New Year. You will be vassal in a few years. Do you have a place you want to go?"
Concubine Chen quickly winked at her son and asked him to seize this rare opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youqian said: "I can go anywhere. If possible, I would like to become a vassal two years later and spend more time with my father and mother. Of course, everything will be in compliance with my father's will."
He has a calm temperament, and he is also a homebody in the palace. A book and a pot of tea can last him a whole day.
Zhu Jianshen was even more delighted, "What do you do in the palace on weekdays?"
"I prayed for my father some time ago, and now that my father has returned, I feel relieved. The palace is leisurely, and my children are also studying. Sometimes I am very quiet and thought-provoking, so I go sit with my brothers for a while."
"This child Youqi is very filial." Concubine Chen said with a smile.
Zhu Jianshen also nodded with a smile and said: "The main reason I called you here this time is to confer a title on you. Since you don't really want to go anywhere, then my father will give you a privilege. You can get the title yourself."
"How dare you, my dear minister." Zhu Youqian shook his head, "This is against etiquette, please ask my father to worry about it."
Concubine Chen was a little angry, why didn't this son know what was good and what was good?
She hummed: "I just praised you for your filial piety, why are you worrying your father again?"
"Uh... the mother-in-law taught me a lesson." Zhu Youqiao said with a smile, "Then let the emperor worry about it."
Concubine Chen: "..."
Zhu Jianshen smiled and nodded: "Well, you brothers have always been good friends. Now that you have entered the palace, you should pay a visit. Don't leave at night and have a few drinks with your father."
"My son, I obey the decree." Zhu Youqian cupped his hands, "Father, the emperor, mother and concubine, I will leave for now."
"Well, go ahead." Zhu Jianshen waved his hand.
Concubine Chen was secretly distressed. In order to let her son strive for success, she taught her son to be good, but she forgot to teach him to be herself.
Zhu Jianshen seemed to have read through her thoughts, and said quietly: "It is his blessing that Youqi is like this. You taught him very well in the past, so this is how the vassal king should be."
Concubine Chen shuddered and said with a sneer: "What the Emperor said is that I am only fulfilling my responsibilities as a mother."
Zhu Jianshen smiled: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. They will be content and happy. Isn't that a good thing?"
Concubine Chen was silent for a moment and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Well..." Zhu Jianshen stood up, "Come for a walk with me."
"good."
~
Qianqing Palace.
After the ceremony between the monarch and his ministers, Zhu Youtang invited Zhu Youji to take a seat.
The two brothers, one kind and the other reserved, have always had a good relationship.
Zhu Youtang rarely relaxed and said with a smile: "Youqian, why do you think of me today?"
"Returning to the imperial brother, this is the palace where my father summons my younger brother to enter. It is a matter of canonizing my younger brother." Zhu Youqi cupped his hands and said.
"Well, you're already fourteen after the new year, so it's time for you to be canonized." Zhu Youtang nodded slowly, "Did your father say when he will be canonized?"
"I haven't said it yet," Zhu Youqian shook his head and smiled sheepishly, "My father told me to think of a title for my brother. I am stupid, so please take your time."
Zhu Youtang laughed: "Since it is a gift from the emperor, you can just accept it. There is no need to be so cautious. Could it be that the emperor is still angry?"
"My father is kind and my brother is generous, but my brother must not disobey the rules." Zhu Youqian said, "The eldest brother is like his father. If the father does not give him a title, he can only annoy his brother. Please don't be too troublesome. ."gòйЪ.ōΓg
"Okay, then the emperor brother will help you think of something." Zhu Youtang agreed and said: "It's rare for us brothers to get together. It just so happens that I have some free time today, so I can have two drinks with the emperor brother."
"Then I would be disrespectful to refuse." Zhu Youqian agreed with a smile, paused, and said: "The state affairs are heavy, but the emperor brother must also cherish the dragon body, so as not to hurt his body."
"Oh, I never thought about it, but... I won't talk about it anymore." Zhu Youtang smiled bitterly, "Brother Huang really envy you, reading, playing the piano, drinking tea... how leisurely and comfortable you are."
Zhu Youqian said hurriedly: "If the emperor says this, I will really be unable to deal with myself."
"It's a joke, it's a joke..." Zhu Youtang laughed and said, "In two years, brother Huang will help you choose a good wife."
Hearing this, a blush appeared on Zhu Youqi's delicate face...

"Sir, I have no strength." Wang Shouren said, "How about you teach me some bow shooting skills. I'll get familiar with it first."
"Sure." Li Qing nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "The bow shoots with the word "quiet"."
"Isn't this monasticism?"
"Don't interrupt, just listen to me." Li Qing said, "Before shooting, you need to calm down your mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and concentrate on your thoughts. Once the arrow leaves the string, there is no possibility of turning back. Therefore, the moment you shoot again, Be sure to be quiet.”
After a pause, "Be upright on the inside, straight on the outside, hold the bow and arrow carefully, and then you can hit!"
He stood up and stepped forward, picked up the bow and arrow made of bamboo, and began to demonstrate the arrow-pulling movements and bow-drawing skills...
Wang Shouren didn't know the theory of archery, but he could tell the difference between good and bad. Listening to Li Qing's explanation and demonstration, he no longer doubted Li Qing's archery skills.
Even if he couldn't reach the level of a marksman, he would definitely not be too far behind. At least, he would be enough to be his teacher.
Li Qing briefly explained the essentials, then drew the arrow and drew the bow...
'Whoosh! '
The arrow shot out and hit the target!
