Seeing Xiao Xiao stop playing the piano and her husband's eyes moved, Fang Furong quickly winked at her and signaled her to continue playing.
Xiao Xiao nodded and continued to play soothing music.
Li Xian didn't know how he spent the whole night.
Early the next morning, when he opened his eyes, he found that he was already lying on the bed, and there was no one on the bed except him.
He sat up, lifted up the mosquito net and walked out, only to see Shangguan Wan'er waiting at the door.
As for the other side, bath water has been prepared.
"The Crown Princess went to bed at dawn, and specifically asked Wan'er to take good care of His Highness. In addition, the Crown Princess also asked Wan'er to tell you that you should move to Li Zheng Palace, while the Crown Princess will move to Guangming Hall. Live in the Heavenly Palace. Let Xiao Liangdi live in the Chengen Palace."
"Go to bed after dawn?"
Li Xian felt a little moved, but when he thought about moving, he was still a little reluctant to leave Cheng'en Hall.
Think about yourself, I ran back to Chang'an from Yongzhou and came to the East Palace before I saw all of Prince Yong's Mansion. Not long after living in Cheng'en Hall of the East Palace, he was about to move to Li Zheng Hall.
Although I can't bear to leave Cheng'en Hall, this hall is too far back and it would be inappropriate for people to live in front of it.
Therefore, it is better to move there.
After taking a shower, he walked out of the room and asked Li Xian to arrange for people to move things. Then Li Xian walked towards the martial arts field.
Outside the martial arts arena, Qi Lan was already waiting here as if it was yesterday.
Although he was very envious of Qi Lan's marksmanship, Li Xian still did not ask for advice directly.
The Hengdao weapon alone is enough for me to study for a period of time. He still understands the principle of biting off more than he can chew.
A whole morning of martial arts practice is always easy and quick to pass through mechanical or habitual training.
At noon, Li Yun and Yan Jize appeared at the edge of the martial arts field.
Just by looking at Yan Jize's look like he had eaten magpie shit, he knew that the tasks he had given them had been completed.
After practicing for a while, until he was exhausted, Li Xian came over wiping his sweat and asked as he walked: "Have you finished the finished product of the drawings I gave you?"
Yan Jize saluted and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the most important thing for the supervisor is skilled craftsmen. Your drawings have been made by Wei Chen. When will they be sent to the palace?"
"Slowly, it won't be too late to give it away when my father is on his birthday. But before that, you have to prepare the wood. There will definitely be many people looking for you to customize it."
Yan Jize smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Your Highness, but I have already stocked up a batch of good wood and are waiting for you to send birthday gifts over there."
Li Xian nodded, threw the towel in his hand to Li Yun, and invited Li Xian and Taiping, who were sitting by the martial arts arena to practice sketching, to eat together.
Although Chongjiao Hall has not yet started to be renovated, it is already being used as a restaurant.
However, when the three of them entered the Chongjiao Hall, the first thing they saw was not the dazzling array of delicacies, but the emperor sitting at the head of the table and already starting to eat!
As for Cui Yu, who was supposed to be waiting outside the palace gate early, he was standing aside with an embarrassed look on his face. Apparently he was also called in by the emperor.
Li Xian's legs immediately started to tremble when he saw Li Zhi. The beating he received that day is still fresh in his memory.
Taiping, on the other hand, cheered "Aye" and walked over.
As for Li Xian...
After just frowning, he regained his smile and respectfully took Li Xian to salute.
"Why did Aye come to the East Palace? You didn't even send someone to call Er Chen. He didn't come to greet you early. It's all Er Chen's fault, isn't it?"
After glancing at Li Xian, Li Zhi reached out and hugged Taiping, picked up a piece of cake and put it in Taiping's mouth. Then he said: "You are practicing martial arts, so I don't want to disturb you. Since you have finished practicing martial arts, Just eat quickly. After dinner, I will test your martial arts performance."
Hearing this, Li Xian became even more confused.
It stands to reason that Cui Yu didn't finish his lecture yesterday, and today he should focus on teaching political affairs at the Ministry of War. Why should he inspect martial arts? Could it be that the emperor is having a leisurely time today?
Although he was confused, Li Xian sat down with Li Xian and started eating.
You need to rest for a while after meals before you can exercise. Besides, checking your martial arts skills obviously requires a lot of exercise. Therefore, don’t eat too much for lunch, just be half full.
After eating, Li Zhi thoughtfully gave the brothers half an hour to rest.
Half an hour later, he personally led the two brothers to the martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena in the East Palace is large enough, so it has more complete facilities than the martial arts arena in Prince Yong's Mansion.
Looking at these equipment, Li Zhi secretly sighed.
During this period, he selected some warriors from the Qianniu Guards, used these equipment to exercise, and gave them adequate diet, and he was able to see the results. These warriors clearly feel that they are becoming more powerful.
However, the increase in daily training volume not only takes up time, but also consumes food and meat.
After calculating the expenses of these people, Qianniu Guard General Du Chunyi reported decisively that this method of military training was not suitable for promotion to the entire army at all, and could only be implemented in one Qianniu Guard.
The art of military training is in front of you, but you can't apply it. This is like a golden mountain falling in front of you, but you find that you can't carry it. Fortunately, Qianniuwei can still perform it.
It is appropriate for the Imperial Guard to become stronger.
After scanning the whole place, Li Zhi came to the tree stump where Li Xian practiced chopping.
Now this section of the tree stump has been chopped with a horizontal knife, leaving an obvious big hole. A dull knife can also produce such an effect, which shows that the prince has indeed worked hard.
Nodding with satisfaction, Li Zhi walked to the shooting range again.
Seeing Xue Ne and other guards kneeling on one knee, Li Zhi didn't bother to respond. He turned to Li Xian and said, "Come on, show me your archery skills."
Li Xian agreed, took the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow with confidence.
This arrow accurately hit the center of the target circle.
Li Zhi was also startled when he saw this arrow.
Because the prince didn't aim too much at all, he just opened the bow and shot, and he was able to hit the target?
How could the prince's archery skills reach this level in such a short period of time?
Because he had worked hard on archery, Li Zhi thought that his progress had been very fast. Moreover, he was also sure that his archery teacher had never flattered him.
If the prince is still better than him, then the prince's talent in archery can be said to be very terrifying.
Because he really doubted that the prince's arrow was luck, Li Zhi pointed to a target far away next to him and said, "Shoot at this target this time."
Taking a look at the distance from the target, Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
There are two levels of difficulty: shooting the target straight ahead and shooting the target diagonally.
Not to mention the increased distance, even the center of the target is difficult to aim at.
but....
Although this is a big challenge for him, Li Xian is not ready to back down.
When he nocked an arrow and fired the bow, it was different from the first time he shot it casually. Li Xian carefully calculated it, and even had some thoughts of gambling on luck. He aimed for a long time before shooting the arrow.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew out and finally nailed the target firmly.
However, this time it did not hit the red heart, but only hit the eighth ring.
Seeing this result, Li Xian couldn't help but frown.
There was no way, he hadn't practiced at this distance and angle, so he was lucky enough to achieve this result.
Seeing this result, Li Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief. Now it seems that the prince is not a monster yet, he just has good direct shooting skills.
Seeing that Xue Ne was still kneeling there with the guards, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sit down, Xue Ne, come forward."
After removing the weapons from his body, Xue Ne walked up to the saint.
It would be nonsense to say there is no pressure. When facing the saint, it is estimated that only his father can be more calm.
Seeing Xue Ne's respectful look, and thinking of Xue Li who was far away in Xiangzhou, Li Zhi couldn't help but said softly: "At first, I thought your archery skills should be good, so I ordered you to teach the prince archery. Now, seeing the prince's progress, I'm very surprised. Let's do this. If you want any reward, you can ask me."
Propose a reward to the saint?
Xue Ne was stunned, and then knelt down on one knee without hesitation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said something that Wei Chen found very reasonable, that is, learn civil and military skills and sell them to the emperor's family. Wei Chen's martial arts skills are originally How can those who use it to serve the Tang Dynasty and serve the saints ask for rewards?"
Hearing Xue Ne's answer, Li Xian was also stunned for a moment. Although this guy used his own words to explain his point of view, which was not correct, what he said after that was simply amazing!
Sure enough, after listening to Xue Ne's words, Li Zhilong was delighted. He leaned over personally, patted Xue Ne's shoulder and said, "The Xue family is really full of loyalty and bravery. I like your words very much. So, I have a very good collection. I will give you my bow. My body is not as good as before and I can no longer draw the bow. If I keep it, it will become a pearl covered in dust. I might as well give it to you so that I can make the best use of it."
Royal bow?
After hearing this reward, Xue Ne was stunned, and the other guards around him couldn't help but look at Xue Ne with jealousy.
Royal bow! Historically, even generals with great military exploits rarely received such rewards. This guy is so lucky today!
Xue Ne was just stunned for a while, and then came to his senses. He knew that he was not qualified to refuse, so he had to lower his head and said loudly: "Thank you saint for the reward. I will be loyal to the country and kill the enemy bravely. I will never humiliate you." A treasured bow given to a humble minister!"
Li Zhi laughed and ordered Jiang Hao to help Xue Ne up.
Then he turned his head and looked at Li Xian. Li Zhi nodded again and said, "I thought that your daily martial arts training was just to strengthen your body. Who would have known that you would have such results. I am very relieved." ah!"
Li Xian smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Since my father has hired Xue Chengmen as my teacher, how can I dare to slack off? Not only my son, my seventh brother's archery skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. Although not to the level of my son, Not bad.”
After hearing this, Li Zhi looked at Li Xian, who was still a little scared, and sighed: "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you. As for the bastard thing you did, I won't even beat you to death." It's too much. But seeing as you sincerely repent, I won't hold you accountable."
"Since your imperial brother has blown it out for you, show me how accurate your archery is."
"My son, I obey."
After saluting, Li Xian barely suppressed the fear in his heart, walked to the boundary, and started taking aim.
His archery skills are incomparable with Li Xian's, so even if it's a straight target, he has to aim at it.
In order not to be embarrassed, Li Xian aimed carefully for a while before shooting the arrow. However, even though he had tried very hard, he still missed the arrow and only hit the ninth ring.
Seeing that Li Xian's arrow did not hit the target, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
After seeing the prince's sharp arrow, and then looking at Li Xian's, he made a judgment.
However, he knew very well that it was already very good for Li Xian to achieve this result. Although his embarrassment stumped the prince, he also knew that he was just out of anger. Like Li Xian, this is the normal progress of learning archery.
We have already experienced archery. Weapons are inconvenient to use, so let's look at fists and feet.
Li Zhi glanced around and could only say to Jiang Hao: "Go and try the prince's boxing and kicking skills."
"Everyone...."
Jiang Hao was startled, but when he saw that the saint showed no intention of repenting, he had no choice but to give the whisk to Li Yun with a grimace. He also took off his outer robe and put on a linen garment.
Although his opponent is Jiang Hao, which is more difficult, Li Xian has never seen what makes Jiang Hao so powerful, and is planning to show him.
Therefore, after Jiang Hao was ready, he rushed forward without hesitation, and with one move, he struck at Jiang Hao's throat.
The so-called martial arts is the method of defeating the enemy in the shortest time, and the moves are just a summary of the predecessors. When it comes to a real life-and-death struggle, even if the collapse can kill people, it will still collapse.
Martial ethics? That was the reign name of Li Yuan. During the actual battle, those who talk about martial ethics to the enemy usually end up not much better.
When Jiang Hao saw that the prince was attacking him, he immediately launched a killing move. He didn't dare to hold back any longer and started to fight back without hesitation.
However, facing the prince, he still didn't dare to risk his death, so he could only control his attacks as much as possible.
Li Zhi also had a certain understanding of fist and kick skills, and was surprised to see Jiang Hao being at a disadvantage for a moment.
He knew Jiang Hao's skills very well. Although this guy might not dare to make a move when facing the prince, but since he could fight like this, it showed that the prince's skills were quite good.
Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince show off the results of these days of practice, Li Yong couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Although His Highness missed the golden period of practicing martial arts, with the blessing of "willing to endure hardship" and "willing to persevere", he still made rapid progress. He was already surprised that he could teach the prince to what he was now.
