Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 462 - 462 Forced to Compete (6)



462 Forced to Compete (6)

Shen Miao was only the daughter of a general. However, on the other hand, Princess Ming An was brought up in the palace since she was young, so why was she not as graceful as Shen Miao? People were puzzled.

They naturally did not know that Shen Miao had been the empress for many years. She was extremely demanding of herself to be suitable for Fu Xiuyi, and the hardship she experienced in the State of Qin enabled her to remain indifferent whether granted favors or subjected to humiliation. In her previous life, if not for the fact that Consort Mei set her up, she could actually be a very good empress to the people.

Princess Ming An did not notice the change of expressions on everyone’s face. She only looked at Shen Miao with the shiny black bow in her hand. This bow was probably made of top-grade wood and had been soaked in special herbs, making it look extremely hard and cumbersome. Princess Ming An said to Shen Miao, “This is my bow. Let’s each shoot an arrow, okay? I’ll shoot you first, then it will be your turn.”

Without being asked to, she took the initiative to request shooting first. The people on Ming Qi’s side looked indignant again. Princess Ming An was obviously bullying Shen Miao.

However, Shen Miao only nodded indifferently, her expression unchanged.

The more she appeared indifferent, the more flustered Princess Ming An was. She glanced at Prince Rui and her eyes suddenly lit up. She said sweetly, “Why don’t we let Prince Rui be the judge and check if there is anything wrong with the arrow and bow?” After saying that, she looked at Prince Rui affectionately.

The girls in Ming Qi all cursed Princess Ming An in their hearts for being shameless. She was obviously taking the opportunity to get close to Prince Rui. However, Prince Rui probably wouldn’t agree to Princess Ming An’s request.

Unexpectedly, when Prince Rui heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded. “Sure.”

This was beyond everyone’s expectations. Even Emperor Wen Hui and Huangfu Hao looked at Prince Rui. Prince Rui stood up lazily. His legs were long, and he walked to the center of the hall in two steps and stood beside Shen Miao and Princess Ming An.

Princess Ming An was overjoyed. She reached out and placed the bow in Prince Rui’s hand with a smile. “Then I’ll ask Prince Rui to check this bow first. Is there anything wrong?”

In the princes’ section, Prince Zhou sneered and said in a low voice, “This Princess of the State of Qin is really wild. She’s openly flirting with Prince Rui in front of so many people.” His tone was filled with disdain.

“I’m more surprised by this Miss Shen.” Prince Jing looked at Shen Miao, who was standing beside Princess Ming An. “She’s so calm. Even if she’s pretending, she’s still brave.”

“Speaking of which.” Prince Zhou rubbed his chin. “This Miss Shen is getting more and more interesting.” He looked at Fu Xiuyi, who was silent. “Ninth Brother, do you regret it?”

Fu Xiuyi said indifferently, “Fourth Brother, you must be joking.”

Behind Fu Xiuyi, the man in green stood quietly. His gaze passed everyone and landed on the girl in purple. Pei Lang looked very calm, as if he was looking at a stranger he had just met for the first time. However, his hands were clenched into fists and were trembling.

In the past two years, this girl had become more and more charming. Just as she said, she was “invited” back by the royal family. As soon as she returned to the capital, trouble came knocking on her door one after another. Shen Miao did not do anything, but people wouldn’t stop giving her a hard time.
