Chapter 234: Such a bow is worthy of General Bai
In just a moment, the smile on Feng Lin's face suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed at all. There was a hint of almost crazy danger in his delicate phoenix eyes.
Ouyang Yi's hands on his knees involuntarily clenched, wrinkling the fine robe.
After knowing that Moonlight Grass was needed to detoxify, he ordered the secret guards hiding in southern Xinjiang to act quietly. Unfortunately, all the secret guards never returned, which was enough to prove how dangerous it was. It also proved how much Feng Lin hated that forbidden area, how much he hoped he would never see the light of day, how much he hated the former queen, and how much he hated Moonlight Grass.
But he did not let Bai Wei know about this because he did not want her to fall into danger for Yueyinghua.
Now...she said all this in the hall. Whether it was for testing or for other reasons, it was tantamount to exposing herself to danger.
I have been overcoming all obstacles and enduring all difficulties, and I never thought it was a big deal. But now I really feel like I have become a burden and put my loved ones in danger.
Ouyang Ming was a smart man, so he naturally noticed the change in Feng Lin's expression.
He was not very clear about what the Moon-Golden Grass looked like, and he did not understand the specific reason why Feng Lin hated it so much. He only knew that the Moon-Golden Grass was very common in southern Xinjiang and was not considered a precious thing.
But after Fenglin gained power, he did something that shocked the whole country. This incident caused a huge stir in Southern Xinjiang, and almost everyone knew about it. It was said that Fenglin had destroyed all the Yueying grass in Southern Xinjiang, and even demanded that it be eradicated, and even threatened that anyone who planted it privately would be sentenced to death.
In just half a month, the Moon Grass completely disappeared from the entire southern Xinjiang.
Now, Bai Wei actually wanted such a small grass that Fenglin hated so much in the hall. Wasn't she deliberately trying to cause trouble?
It's really stupid, it only causes him trouble.
He didn't know why Bai Wei suddenly said she wanted the Moonlight Grass. Was it intentional? Or was she ignorant of the affairs of Southern Xinjiang and was simply curious? But now, Feng Lin's expression had explained everything. Even if he was bewitched by her beauty just now and might have been soft-hearted, now... he was probably sober.
"Wei'er, how about this? If you win, I will reward you with a top-quality Menglan Xiangxue. The flower is in full bloom right now. If you put it in the house, it will be filled with fragrance and make people feel relaxed and happy. You will definitely like it."
To be honest, he was a little reluctant, but he had no choice. For the sake of the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the etiquette of Dong Qin, he had to give it up.
Bai Wei participated in the competition for two purposes.
The first purpose is to gain honor and thus get back one's own luck points.
The second purpose is to test Fenglin for the Yueying Grass.
Now it seems that this thing is indeed not so easy to get. Although Ouyang Yi told her not to worry, seeing how dangerous the Fenglin Taboo is, he is afraid that most of the people he sends out will never come back.
Now, Ouyang Ming gave her a way out, so of course she had to do it: "Then I would like to thank the emperor for his reward."
Ouyang Ming said with a smile: "You are quite confident, kid. We must have a good competition later!"
Bai Wei also smiled and said, "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
Ouyang Ming and Bai Wei sang the same tune, and the matter was exposed. The competition officially began.
Since it is horse riding and archery, the Imperial Garden is naturally not suitable.
So the emperor decided to place the competition at the southernmost part of the palace, where there was a small horse farm. In his spare time, Ouyang Ming would go horseback riding and archery here with his close ministers and princes.
Eunuch Gui stood aside and said loudly: "The horseback archery competition is about to begin. Participants, please prepare in advance."
The emperor prepared bows and horses for the contestants to choose from. If time permits, the contestants can even ask someone to fetch their own bows and arrows during the preparation period.
In the entire competition venue, Bai Wei and Bai Lian were the only two women.
Ouyang Qi walked up to Bai Wei with a well-made but obviously slightly smaller bow in his hand and casually handed it to her: "I'll give you this bow, so you don't lose badly and bring shame to Dong Qin."
This bow was actually made by him for her a long time ago.
At that time, she had not yet been disfigured, nor had she done those crazy things. He still had a little bit of affection for her in his heart, but of course he was mostly taking advantage of her, taking advantage of her identity.
Since you want to use him, you have to give him some sweet treats occasionally. This bow was what she wanted at the beginning, and she also said that she wanted to make the same style as his bow.
But later, she was disfigured, and the bow was thrown into the storehouse of the palace. Now, he gave it to her, which was also a way to repay her what he owed her! When she saw the bow again, would she think of the past...?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Qi couldn't help but smile.
Bai Wei didn't even bother to look at the bow, let alone Ouyang Qi. She raised her eyebrows slightly, with two big words of bad luck written all over her face!
"Prince Qi should keep it for his concubine, so that she won't be able to touch the target later and embarrass Dong Qin."
Ouyang Qi thought she would be moved, but she was not moved at all. She even threw a boomerang at him and mocked him with the white lotus. He gritted his teeth in anger and raised the bow in front of Bai Wei, fearing that she would not see clearly what the bow looked like and what its origin was. He said, "Bai Wei, don't be shameless! This is for your own good!"
Bai Wei was almost amused by him and slapped him away with her hand: "No need, don't get in the way here!"
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Seeing this, Ouyang Qi stuffed the bow directly into Hongying's hands behind Bai Wei and said, "You have to use it today even if you don't want to! Take it and give it to your young lady. If you take it away, I will have you dragged down and beaten to death!"
Hongying was dumbfounded, holding the bow, and was unresponsive for a moment.
No, Prince, General, why are you making things difficult for a little maid like me?
It's not right to keep it, and it's not right to throw it away. She really can't afford to offend anyone with her life.
Bai Wei came back to her senses and saw that Ouyang Qi was making things difficult for Hongying, so she turned around and tried to come over. Unfortunately, before he even got there, Feng Lin came over and easily took the bow from Hongying's hand and threw it on the ground.
"I really don't know how the prince Qi could afford such a piece of junk."
After saying this, he took out a smaller and more exquisite bow from the beautiful Nanjiang maid beside him and displayed it in front of everyone: "Only a bow like this can be called General Bai."
The bow in Fenglin's hand is very beautiful.
The bow was very beautiful, made of fine materials and inlaid with colorful gems. It was gorgeous and dazzling, just like him.
Ouyang Qi's face immediately turned bad when he saw the bow in Feng Lin's hand.
Because compared to the bow in Fenglin's hand, the bow in his hand looked really shabby.
