Shattered Glass

Chapter 4: past

Under the large pergola, people were sitting in clusters of flowers. Mei Li lowered her head and followed the eunuch. Even if she didn't have to look at her, she knew that everyone was watching her. Not uncomfortable? not nervous? They were all fake... Everything she had to face next, she smiled lightly and faintly, and regarded it as her punishment.

"Miri, how did you come?" Xiaozhuang waved his hand to avoid her bowing, and gestured to the chair next to her to sit down.

"Oh, are you really released?" A voice said very presumptuously, indifferent and mean, without regard to the presence of the Empress Dowager.

Because she had expected to encounter such embarrassment, Mei Li was calm, she couldn't help but look up at the speaker, also because she was not sure that it was Jingxian.

"Well, it's released." Miri smiled.

"Isn't it said that the land of your house is coming back? Why are you dressed more poorly? Isn't it because the master is absent in the past two years, and the property has been deceived by the conscientious slave?" Jingxian said and sneered. A few times.

"Okay! Don't be mad!" The cold-faced Xiaozhuang couldn't help but squeeze her in a low voice, frowning and holding back his anger for a while. All the female relatives present here seemed to have not heard Jingxian's words, and they greeted each other with greetings and laughs.

Jingxian... Mei Li didn't want to provoke her, she lowered her eyes not to meet her provocative gaze. At that time, the stories of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were so blatant that no one knew it, and the arrogant Jingxian was hit hard, but she didn't expect it to become so acrimonious. She used to be cute and pleasant at least in front of her ancestors. The ancestors endured her in every possible way, and felt that she was innocent and unfortunate for what happened back then, and felt that she owed her.

"Today's weather is right," Xiaozhuang smiled reluctantly and talked to several ladies nearby, turning off the embarrassment. "Look, it's only a few days since I haven't seen you, I feel that those children have grown up into boys again! The years have passed so fast! In a blink of an eye, the children are older, and we are all old."

Time flies fast? Her two years...as long as a lifetime.

"The ancestors are not old at all!" A woman whom Mei Li didn't know smiled and said, "The slave and maidservant went to Beijing with my master for nine years. When I come back to see, the ancestors are still the same!"

Xiaozhuang laughed when she said, "You, you still make me happy like you were by my side. I heard the emperor say that your son also came back, and he has never seen him."

Mei Li took a close look at the woman. She had heard of her. It should have been Yingru who had gone into the palace with Aunt Yu'an to serve her ancestor. The ancestor pointed her to the door because she liked her. The son is so dear, and later her husband became the governor of Chahar, and she also became a first-class fate. Uncle Hai always used Yingru's aunt to warn her about how important it is to win the favor of her ancestors.

"I'm here!" Seeing that the ancestors took the initiative to mention her son, Mrs. Ying Ru was grateful and pleasantly surprised, and quickly ordered the close maid: "Hurry up and call Yonghe!"

Several Fujin and the girls here were obviously interested in the upcoming appearance of Young Master Yonghe, and they all took their eyes away from Mei Li.

Look at the posture... Mei Li lowered her head, this Governor Chahar returned to Beijing to be promoted, and his wife was eating like this again with the ancestors, and the limelight was in full swing.

Following the maid was a young man in his twenties, and Mei Li drank tea in silence without taking a closer look. The sound of praise around him did not arouse her interest. As long as the ancestors said he was good, he would be called a rare talent even if he lacked arms and legs.

"...Okay, okay. The emperor's arrangement is very much in line with the heart of the palace. Before, when Ziyu boy was the head of the guard, I was relieved. It was changed to Yonghe, very good!"

Hearing Zi Yu's name, Mei Li raised her eyes to look at Yong Hyuk, who was standing at the bottom. She was clean, handsome and somewhat childish. Zi Yu has become the emperor's confidant right now, and naturally has another great use. The job of guarding the imperial city is just right to give to a young man like Yonghe with roots and vines.

"Look, the arrow has started." Xiaozhuang looked at the venue not far away with excitement. The men all stood in front of the drawn line to examine their bows and targets, and the drums changed suddenly. There must be a rhythm.

"You go too! Also decide for me to be the first one, the ancestors have a lot of rewards!" Xiaozhuang said to the girls with a big smile, and the girls are also eager to try. "Yong Hyuk, tell the eunuchs that Suying's bow should be extraordinarily light. She is weak and hurting is not for fun!"

"Xie ancestor's grace." The sweet voice is soft and lively, and the person is pretty and beautiful. Mei Li looked at the sound and was amazed. No wonder the ancestors were particularly worried and worried about her. She... is so beautiful and delicate.

"Girl, go too!" Xiaozhuang patted her on the shoulder, and Mei Li Fushen agreed.

The girls' targets were very large and the distance was closer than that of the men. Seeing the girls all coming out of the pergola, the emperor was not in a hurry to abbot the men's game. They all looked at it from a distance and laughed.

Mei Li's target was at the far end of the man's field. Jingxian was next to her. Mei Li didn't want to talk to her, so she tried the bow held by the little eunuch. She had been busy running around Jingxuan before, but she hadn't even tried it well. It turned out that everyone had six arrows.

"Virtue! Only she is delicate!" Jingxian snorted coldly.

Mei Li originally thought she was scolding her, but when she looked back, she found that Jingxian was staring at Suying who was arranged in the middle with contempt. Suying was frowning, her delicate face even more pitiful, she wore gloves carefully for fear of scratching her delicate hands.

Jingxian cursed again, and she rounded the bow with an arrow. There were several roaring applause from the men from far away.

Suying put on her gloves, and her posture of pulling the bow and releasing the arrow was beautiful and sultry. The weak girl was able to hit her heart with an arrow. Even the emperor clapped her hands and cheered for her. The cheers of the men rang out, quietly. Xian's expression became even more disdainful.

"Sure enough, it is the daughter of Governor Yan, spitting is fragrant."

Mei Li smiled and drew her bow. With a harder effort, she broke the light bow specially prepared for the girls with a "pop". Mei Li was startled, and there was a sharp pain behind her ears. She couldn't help but reach out to touch it. There was bloodshot blood, but it was a twitch when the bowstring broke.

"Yeah!" The girls stopped and looked at her with different expressions, "She broke the bow!"

"How come you are so energetic? Is the food in Lenggong good?" I don't know who is straightforward and mean, and it drew a few secret laughs.

Miri smiled apologetically. She forgot that her strength was no longer the same as before and she accidentally broke the bow. As soon as she entered the Anning Temple, she tried her best and couldn't lift a half bucket of water. Later, she could carry several full buckets in succession.

"Are you okay?" Yonghe, who was about to walk to the man's court, came over with his bow on his back, and glanced worriedly at the wound on her neck.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mei Li didn't expect that he would come to ask, a little embarrassed.

The little **** hurriedly handed over a new bow, Mei Li was in lingering fear, and she drew it without daring to exert herself.

"Use mine!" Yonghe smiled and took down his bow and handed it over with a grin. Mei Li couldn't accept it, so she could only smile awkwardly and took over the strong bow.

Not afraid of breaking this time, she hit the arrow and said, "No, no!" Young Hyuk who looked aside cried, and was embarrassed to correct it. She grabbed her ear twice in a hurry, and the child made Mei Li smile.

"Don't catch the feathers."

...Don't catch the feathers...

Jing Xuan said this to her a long time ago, and an impatient tone seemed to ring in her ears. As soon as he loosened his hand, the arrow flew aimlessly, slanting across the edge of the target and falling onto the grass behind.

"Oh..." Yonghe sighed regretfully, "You are too anxious, just aim at it."

"Thank you." She returned the bow to him, said to the little eunuch, pretending that she was going to apply medicine to the wound and left the competition field.
