The servant beside immediately handed the bows and arrows respectfully. Chengye took them over, looked at Yun Shang and said, "Mother! I'll show you how I hit the bull's eye!"
Yun Shang was overjoyed, "Hit the bull's eye. My son is amazing. He learned some idioms."
Luo Qingyan also smiled, "He's been staying with the secret guards who teach him how to ride recently. He is at the age to imitate. He is interested in learning the words he hears."
Yun Shang nodded. As Chengye shook the reins slightly, the horse began to walk again. Chengye's soft voice kept coming over, "Go! Go! "
The horse was getting faster and faster, but in Yun Shang's eyes, the horse hadn't started to run at all.
Chengye had already loosened the rein. He took out an arrow from behind him, put it on the bow and shot it quickly towards the target not far away.
The arrow flew over and was inserted in the outermost circle of the arrow target.
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, but Chengye shouted happily, "I hit it."
Then he turned to Yun Shang and shouted, "Mother, have you seen it? I hit it! "
Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, yes. I saw it. My Chengye is really powerful. How can you be so powerful? You are really a wonder child. "
“……” Luo Qingyan lowered his head and chuckled, "You should often come to see him practicing martial arts, riding and shooting arrows. I can't say anything against my will, let alone praise him like you."
"Gee." Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "Chengye is still young. He is already very powerful at his age."
"Yes, yes." Luo Qingyan replied, "So I said you should visit him more often and motivate him."
Yun Shang smiled, "When will Yan'er enter the palace?"
"It's almost done. I haven't found a good grand tutor yet. I'll go to the Imperial Hanlin Academy to test those old fellows myself some other day."
"Don't choose an old-fashioned one. Chengye is just a little kid, so we have to choose one who can attract his interest. Otherwise, it might make him dislike reading and writing. "
Luo Qingyan nodded, "Don't worry. I know."
Chengye got off the horse and ran towards Yun Shang.
Yun Shang squatted down and opened her arms towards him. He rushed into Yun Shang's arms quickly, with a smile on his face that hadn't faded away. "Mother, have I improved a lot in riding and shooting?"
"Yes, you've made a lot of progress." Yun Shang smiled, "Last time you couldn't shoot the arrow to the target when you stood. It's only a few months, and you've already been able to shoot the arrow on your horse. In time, you'll definitely be even powerful than your father."
"Really? Really? "
Hearing that, Chengye was really happy. "I have to practice martial arts later. Mom, can you accompany me? There are many other children, but I'm the best one among them. "
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. The other children that Chengye mentioned should be those Luo Qingyan had found for him to train as his guards.
She was indeed interested in these little guards, so she nodded and said, "Really? My Chengye is so amazing. Of course, I will go to see it. "
Hearing that, Chengyek's eyes lit up. "Let's go there quickly!"
Then she took Yun Shang's hand and was about to leave.
Allen nodded repeatedly, "Mother is not someone else."
"Yes." Yun Shang's eyes were also full of smile. "Mother is not an outsider. But you can't tell anyone else except father and mother."
"I know. Father has told me many times."
Yun Shang nodded and held Chengye's hand more tightly.
Down the stone steps, there was a path lead right. But Chengye didn't go there. He turned left, knocked on the stone in front of him, and with a loud bang, the stone door slowly rose.
With a complacent look on his face, Chengye pointed to the bright path on the right and said, "There's nothing over there."
"Oh?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and added, "It's just a way to confuse people."
Yun Shang nodded. She knew that the servants in the East Palace were all carefully chosen by Luo Qingyan and trusted by him. But that didn't mean they wouldn't betray him in the future. He had to guard against it.
After passing through several more stone door, they suddenly saw a hall. The furniture inside was very similar to that in the main hall of the East Palace.
However, there seemed to be several stone rooms inside, from which indistinctly came some childish voices, which should be the voices of the little guards practicing martial arts.
"I seem to be late. Have they already started?" Blinking his eyes, Chengye took Yun Shang's hand and quickened his pace.
