Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 461 - 461 Forced to Compete (5)



461 Forced to Compete (5)

If Emperor Wen Hui continued to remain silent and let the people from the State of Qin openly humiliate Ming Qi, how could he maintain his prestige in the future? He immediately said to Shen Miao without looking at Shen Xin, “Since Princess Ming An is in mood to play a game, Shen Miao, play with her for a while.”

As soon as the emperor said that, no matter how hard Shen Xin objected, it was useless. Shen Qiu clenched his fists, and Luo Tan and Feng Anning looked at each other uneasily.

Shen Miao said in a low voice, “Yes.”

She did not panic, which stunned everyone. Princess Ming An turned to look at Shen Miao and met her gaze.

Shen Miao’s eyes were extremely clear, as innocent as a child’s. Originally, with such a pair of eyes, one could probably tell at a glance what was on her mind. However, when she looked at Princess Ming An, her gaze was like a pool of water that had been stagnating for a thousand years.

It was unfathomable.

Princess Ming An became frustrated for no reason. She smiled and asked her maid to get the bow and arrow. She stared at Shen Miao with a smile and said, “In the State of Qin, we play this way. One of us will hold a bow and arrow and be blindfolded, while another one will place the fruit on her body for the other party to shoot.” She fixed her gaze at Shen Miao and said, “Miss Shen, do you understand?”

The surrounding people gasped. The last time at the test, Shen Miao and Cai Lin each had apples on their heads, but their eyes were still open. If they shot arrows blindfolded, wouldn’t their lives be at risk? Just hearing it made them break out in cold sweat. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were already furious.

Shen Miao smiled, as if she was not frightened by Princess Ming An’s words at all. She only said, “Thank you for your explanation, Princess.”

The composure she displayed made more than half of the famous people present think highly of her. Huangfu Hao stared at her with a strange glint in his eyes.

Luo Tan tugged at the corner of Shen Miao’s shirt. “Cousin Miao, how about I do it for you? I’ve practiced martial arts and know at least one or two things about archery.”

Shen Miao shook her head and looked at Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan, who were about to stop her. She said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Since she said that, she’s confident that she won’t miss the mark and shoot me. If she does, they’ll be in a lot of trouble. Huangfu Hao and Ming An are both smart people and won’t do anything stupid. She’s just trying to scare me and make a fool of me.”

“But Sister.” Shen Qiu held her shoulder worriedly. “No matter if she’ll shoot you or not, how can we let you go alone?”

“I’m not afraid,” Shen Miao replied gently. “Besides, if she hurts me, I’ll have a chance to make her pay for it. How can I let her off easy?” When she said this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It was clearly a smile, but it made people feel a chill run down their spines.

Luo Ling patted Shen Miao’s shoulder and said softly, “Be careful.”

Shen Miao nodded and walked straight into the main hall.

She and Princess Ming An were actually walking into the main hall together. When the two of them walked side by side, it gave people a strange feeling. Princess Ming An was really born and raised in the royal family. She was beautiful and supposed to look noble. However, when she walked beside Shen Miao, she looked like a maid. Shen Miao had her hands placed in front of her and was standing straight. As she walked, she didn’t look around, and her dignified and graceful aura overshadowed Princess Ming An.

Boos and hisses gradually sounded in the hall.

Huangfu Hao’s expression also gradually turned ugly.
