The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 585 Final Chapter (8)
Empress Xiqin never lost her prestige with a frown or a smile, completely different from the reckless and straightforward temperament of Princess Jing in the past.

"The camellias in the imperial garden are blooming. This snowy day is a good time to see them. You envoys are in good time. This way, please—" Bo Yan, as the prime minister of the Western Qin Dynasty, took on the task of receiving envoys. A scene, mostly he is explaining.

The Great Emperor of Western Qin was usually cold-faced, not angry and majestic. He was naturally feared and respected.And Bo Yan's eyes were calm, with a smile on his face, and his demeanor was as gentle as fine celadon, but even such a harmless face made the envoys of the two countries dare not be slighted.

The feeling of being bitten by a smiling tiger is that life is worse than death.

Listening to Bo Yan's modest explanation and careful guidance, Zhao Tuo, who was walking at the end of the crowd, felt very strange.This prime minister of the Western Qin Dynasty has always been known for his calmness in doing things. I still remember that when General Situ was captured, Princess Jing went to the Turkic camp to rescue her. Later, with the help of Western Qin, Bo Yan personally sent Princess Jing and General Situ back to the border of Daxing...

Today, Empress Xiqin looks almost exactly the same as Princess Rongchang of Daxing. Then, Bo Yan, who has witnessed Princess Rongchang's appearance, has never had any doubts?
Even with their Daxing envoys here, since last night until now, Bo Yan has not been half guilty, nor has he ever thought of explaining something to the Daxing envoys, as if to Bo Yan or to Western Qin, the Bai family That's what a queen should look like.

The more calm, the more strange.Once the facts are confirmed, it is not easy to be fooled by the sight in front of you.

The coincidences that no one has studied carefully before, spread out one by one before our eyes.Half a year after Princess Jing passed away, Western Qin actually changed its year name to "Rongchang". Even Emperor Jing Yuan thought that Emperor Xiqin was grateful for Princess Jing's death, just to commemorate it, but no one dared to think about the life experience of the White Queen.

Now it seems that there are traces to follow.

The deeper it goes, the more suspicious it becomes.

Zhao Tuo could bear it, but he kept it in his heart, but Yang Feng couldn't bear it, holding back a mouthful of depression, when he passed by the school ground in the Qin Palace, Yang Feng suddenly said to Han Tong: "I heard that General Han has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is like his father. I don't know if you dare to compete with me?"

The Dongxing envoys provoked the King of Qingzhou in the Northern Jin Dynasty in public, but they did not call him the king. They only called Han Tong by the old title of "General", which still meant that the Northern Jin Dynasty was a traitor to Dongxing.

The eldest son of the Yang family in Shengjing, who still has a strong character, really shocked everyone present.

The atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.

Yang Feng didn't speak too aggressively, he appeared cowardly in answering the challenge, but if he was too showy, it would easily ruin Bei Jin's reputation.

Han Tong was caught in a dilemma, smiled at the Great Emperor Xiqin and said, "My lord, with the empress and Princess Dongxing here, if this king wields a sword..."

The Great Emperor Xiqin held the Queen's hand, and said in a deep thought: "It's not fun to compete in the snow, don't you care?"

No need for the emperor to say any more, Bo Yan calmly took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Since the envoys of the two countries are so elegant, the front is the school grounds, so you can go in and enjoy it. The emperor also likes it on weekdays." Shooting arrows, throwing pots, shooting bows, bowing is not suitable in snowy weather, throwing pots is too simple, why not use archery as a competition, and the loser will be punished with three cups of wine. What does the emperor think?"

Xiqin played around and took care of the etiquette on both sides. Bo Yan was always the most eloquent. Whatever words came out of his mouth, it was thoughtful.

The emperor nodded slowly: "The penalty will be 'forgetful drunk', and the loser will drink three cups in a row, let it go, don't hurt the peace."

As a guest, if the host made a speech, the Northern Jin Dynasty and Dongxing had to obey. This was a basic etiquette, not to mention that the Western Qin Dynasty had already given the two countries enough face, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing for anyone to lose.

After entering the school grounds, the Black Armored Army prepared the arrow targets, looked at the bows and arrows and dozens of targets, and Yang Feng suddenly said: "I heard that the Great Qin Shangwu, most of the people grew up on horseback, and the empress especially The daughter of Marshal Bai, the god of war, is naturally a hero among women. I wonder if you are lucky enough to see the heroic appearance of the empress and shoot the first arrow? If there is any offense, please forgive the emperor and the empress."

"..."

As soon as Yang Feng said this, not only Xiqin, but even Han Tong in the Northern Jin Dynasty were taken aback. Did Dongxing lose his mind?To actually have thoughts about the Queen of West Qin, and openly let the Queen wield swords and guns?

Zhao Tuo was also anxious: "Master Yang..."

The third princess Bailirou also had a strange look in her eyes, she clenched the handkerchief tightly and remained silent all the time.

"Empress?" Even though it was such a rude request, the Emperor Xiqin didn't feel any annoyance when he heard it. Instead, he squeezed the empress's hand, as if to inquire as to comfort, and even a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips. .

Empress Xiqin was very gracious, she looked at Yang Feng calmly, and said with a smile: "Since the envoys of the two countries have such a good mood, then as Lord Yang wishes, I will show my shame and add warmth to this school. However, this Gong has never bent his bow and shot an arrow for a long time, if he misses the target later, I hope the envoys of the two countries will not make fun of him."

"How dare, how dare?"

"The Queen will do her best."

Hearing what Empress Xiqin said, everyone laughed kindly.

Han Tong on the Northern Jin side narrowed his eyes, staring at Yang Feng's movements. He wanted to see what kind of trick Dongxing was playing, and he actually picked the Empress of West Qin to provoke him?
Empress Xiqin didn't even change her palace attire, she just took off the gorilla felt cloak to keep out the cold, and Fanhua who was nearby took it immediately.

Seeing that the queen promised to shoot the first arrow at the beginning, all the ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty including Junyue were sweating. The queen has never been ill since entering the palace. His majesty hid the queen in the forbidden palace and refused to let her suffer. Wronged, how could it be possible to hold a bow and arrow?
Although Empress Cai had said modestly earlier, if she really missed the target, Da Qin would lose face.

In the school grounds, the archery targets are arranged one by one, the nearest one is no more than ten paces away, but anyone who has practiced martial arts, it must not be too difficult to hit the target.

Someone handed a bow and arrow, the queen held it in her hand, and suddenly turned her head to look at the emperor. Only the emperor knew what that look meant.The emperor also looked at her, standing still, with a smile on his lips that seemed to be absent.

She has not touched the long-lost bow and arrow for three years.

"Empress, can this bow and arrow be used smoothly? If the bow strength is not suitable, I will change it later." The captain of the Heijia Army in the school asked.

The more they asked each other like this, and there was no movement for a long time, the more nervous everyone became.

Prince Cheng Jun Yue was anxious all night, and continued to be anxious. He didn't know what Dongxing was going to do, and he didn't know whether the arrow could hit it, or something would happen if it hit it or not. He was looking forward to it, but also very uneasy.This feeling of being placed on a knife...

Jun Yue was about to say something to win the Emperor's brother's favor, when suddenly the queen withdrew the smile on her lips, bent her bow and set an arrow, the bow was like a full moon, she never looked at the nearby targets, but without hesitation Shoot towards the archery target a hundred steps away!
