Chapter 0036 – Danger (1 / 2)

On the seventh day of the first month, the snow was flying.

Early in the morning, Ming Yue waited for Chen Zian to get dressed, Chen Zian’s face was rare and solemn, even if it was as foolish as Ming Yue, she also vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right.

“Does Gongzi really want to go?” Chang Rong worried.

“It’s a blessing not a curse, it’s a curse that can’t be avoided.” Chen Zi’an steeled himself, “Don’t alarm auntie about today’s banquet first, I’m afraid she’s worried.”

Chang Rong nodded, and again with Ming Yue the two of them were busy up and down, adding a few more layers of cotton-jacketed shirts within Chen Zian’s robe, and tying a few more layers of cotton-coverings to his legs, so that when it really came time to kneel, it would always not be too uncomfortable.

Before she left, Mingyue also added a small bottle of pills to Chen Zian’s purse.

Ming Yue was a little embarrassed, “Master, I didn’t even bother to use a single one, I left them all for you. You must come back safely.”

Chen Zian paused in his movements and said in surprise, “You two, are you actually such good personal friends?”

Mingyue reddened, and Changrong awkwardly attached his ear and said, “Master, the Hefu all think that Mingyue is yours–so–“

Chen Zian came back to his senses and cried and laughed, not realizing that Xiang Capsicum was, actually – so fraternal!

The hour was almost up, so Chen ZiDing settled his mind and picked up the red handwrap that had been carefully hidden in the cubicle.

The hand surrounds were thick and lined with dense, warm fleece, calming his apprehensive heart inch by inch.

“Go!”

Inside the Su Wang Mansion.

In front of the exquisite pavilion surrounded by rockery, a group of boys and maids were flanking a handsome young man, none other than the fifteen year old Prince Su Wang’s son, Ye Yuanhong.

Teenager Ye Yuanhong was erect, his height had begun to take on an adult demeanor, his skin was as fair as jade, his face was angular, his nose was high and straight, and his eyes were as deep as the cold stars in the night sky, flickering with an innocent and cruel light.

He was dressed in a strong suit with a rusty red background and gold trim, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, with a heavy rhinoceros horn and treasure inlaid mincing belt around his waist, and in his hand he held a hardwood longbow, with an arrow capsule full of brightly feathered iron tufted arrows.

In a silence, he drew his bowstring full and held his breath, staring intently at the treetops.

Under the blue sky, a weak young bird shook from its nest and flew up to forage for food, Ye Yuanhong saw the right moment and suddenly released the arrow!

The arrow was like a meteor cutting through the sky, and with unparalleled precision, it went straight to the target, hitting the flying bird squarely.

The young bird only had time to let out one wail before it fell vertically through the air.

The crowd instantly erupted in loud cheers and praise:

“I’m afraid that I can’t find a few people in the world today with such a skill of piercing a poplar with a hundred steps like this, Shizi Master!”

“If Master Shizi were to take the martial arts exams, the Martial Scholarship would still be within reach!”

Ye Yuanhong had a smug smile on his face, “Less flattering! Where is Chen Tuoyu, can you come?”

Ye Yuanhong is the first son of King Su, was born as a son, was a thousand pampered growing up, is never afraid of the world of the devil. He has heard too much of this kind of praise, it is inevitable to feel boring.

A boy respectfully stepped forward, “Duke Tuoyu has arrived, waiting for you in the main hall, with only a boy by his side.”

“He is obedient.” Ye Yuanhong grunted in dissatisfaction, “It’s a pity that he just has too little self-awareness, he even wants to marry Yanran, Aunt Yanran, and he doesn’t take a piss and look in the mirror!”

The people around them were silenced, none of them daring to talk.

Ye Yuanhong was concerned and returned to the main hall with big strides, and he really saw Chen Zian who had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Zian today dressed in bamboo green brocade robe, a head of black hair carefully combed into the then popular bun, wearing a red gold crown inlaid with jade, more and more look handsome.

Even Ye Yuanhong could not deny that Chen Zian had good looks.
