The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 811 Relieve Your Worry (4)
Mian Yue looked Qing Chen up and down, her eyes were not hostile, but definitely unfriendly, "Today the emperor is hosting a banquet, why is it that the emperor is not the empress but the concubine Chen? I heard that the emperor loves concubine Chen very much. Isn't it a favorite concubine who oversteps the rules and acts on her behalf, intending to replace the empress?"

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old looks innocent, but her words are sharp, without showing any mercy, and she sincerely wants to embarrass others.

Qing Chen's face was calm, but he replied with a needle hidden in his face: "Princess Mianyue is too worried. The empress's mother is noble in the world, not everyone is worthy of being received by the mother of a country. The concubine is not talented, and I am here to entertain you under the order of the empress." Princess, if there is something wrong, please ask Princess Haihan."

The meaning of these words is clearly that she has already overwhelmed her. Even if you are a princess who is born in the first place, you will not be able to really be qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with the queen when you marry a big man in the future.

Mianyue grew up in the court since she was a child, so she didn't understand the meaning behind what she said, her delicate face was slightly angry, she snorted softly, her eyes fell on the jade bow, suddenly the corners of her mouth were raised slightly, from The guard on the side pulled out a white-feathered arrow from the quiver, and said to Qingchen with a very arrogant expression: "My princess likes this bow my mother gave me very much, and now I want to try arrows."

Drawing the arrow and setting the bow, Mianyue slowly raised the fully drawn bow and arrow around the arena for a circle, but finally fixed on Qingchen.There was an uproar in the sitting, and many people began to look at each other anxiously, but King Anding looked calm and didn't stop him. The emperor in the seat squinted his eyes slightly, and also didn't make a sound.

Qingchen sat elegantly without changing his face, with a slight smile on his face all the time, but Jinxiu who was standing behind took a few steps in secret.

"Jinxiu, don't act rashly. I want to see how capable Princess Mianyue is. Go and prepare a white feather arrow for me..."

After listening to her secret instructions, Jinxiu hesitated for a moment, but followed her order and retreated.

The two faced each other from a distance, and Princess Mianyue suddenly smiled and asked: "Mother, do you think Mianyue dares to let go?"

Qingchen said calmly: "Will it be up to you, but I am not afraid."

Mian Yue's eyes tightened, and at the same time when she let go, the white feather arrow was already whistling towards Qing Chen's cheek. Everyone probably thought that Mian Yue was just a child with a dissatisfied heart and wanted to find fault in her heart. Really let go.

If it were someone else, she would have to panic and avoid it out of instinct, but Qingchen sat upright with a calm expression, and the white feather arrow flew past her temples, and the wind brought by it made a golden phoenix walk in her hair. It rustled and wobbled, but she didn't even blink her eyes.

Xiao Jun glanced at her appreciatively, thinking that she must be so calm because she was sure that Mian Yue would not dare to really hurt her.

Mian Yue originally looked down on the woman who was raised by Dagan in the deep boudoir, thought that Qingchen would at least be frightened, but just wanted to make her look ugly, but she didn't respond at all, so she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

King Anding hurriedly stood up and said, "Little sister is naughty, she's just joking with the empress, please don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Qingchen got up slowly, took the bow and arrow handed over by Jinxiu, put a white-feathered arrow on the string in a dignified manner, and said gently: "Dagan pays attention to courtesy and reciprocity. Since the princess loves to play so much, then I also Let's play with the princess and see who is more skilled."

While speaking, the arrow was already pointed at Mianyue, and the string was slowly pulled full. Mianyue stood there proudly, already determined in her heart that Qingchen would not hurt her, so she provocatively said without evasion: "Your Majesty, learn from me." , but Mianyue will not be afraid!"

Qingchen's eyes were slightly cold, and the arrow moved down slightly, but it aimed at Mianyue's chest.

King Anding on the side couldn't help but look terrified when he saw her holding the bow. Before he could think about it, the bow and arrow shot towards Mianyue's chest in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Jun, who was seated above, shook her hand slightly, and everyone below exclaimed again, just now Mianyue had left room for shooting arrows, but Qingchen's arrow was aimed at Mianyue's chest, the target was too big to be shot. Hurting is impossible.

Before he had time to think about it, King Anding grabbed the jug on the table with lightning speed and threw it over. Hearing a "clang", the jug and the arrow collided with Mianyue's chest and fell to the ground at the same time.

The faces of both of them changed greatly. They didn't expect her to be serious. King Anding suppressed the anger in his heart and said sharply: "What is the meaning of this, Concubine Chen? Could it be that she really ignored our sincerity in making peace? Or is she narrow-minded and vicious? Even a small joke will be reported!"

Qingchen handed the bow in his hand to Jinxiu, and said with an unhurried smile: "King Anding, why bother to get angry, the visitor is a guest, so naturally I will not be negligent, I have already made it very clear just now, Princess Mianyue loves to play, I just play with her for a while, why are you so excited?"

Hearing what she said so lightly, King Anding really felt that she was too conceited, and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and scolded: "Your Majesty is playing too much, Mianyue is the princess of our Great Xia, if there is anything Mistake, ma'am, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that Mianyue beside him gave him a strong pull. King Anding turned his head and saw her beckoning him to look at the white-feathered arrow on the ground.

King Anding's gaze followed him, and he couldn't help jumping his eyebrows. He saw that the arrow that fell on the ground had no arrowhead. After a closer look, there was half a piece of broken white wax not far away, but it turned out that the arrowhead was white wax. It was done so that even if King Anding didn't help, the arrow wouldn't be able to hurt Mianyue at all.

Such a result made King Anding feel very embarrassed, and Mian Yue also murmured angrily, "What a cunning woman."

The emperor sitting here naturally also saw this scene, laughed loudly, and said to Yuanyou: "I made Prince An Ding laugh at you. Princess Mianyue loves to play around when she was young, but my concubine Chen is also very lively. Let's make a joke." That's all, I won't mind, and I'm sure you won't take it to heart, my lord, why don't you just sit down and taste the delicious food and wine we have prepared?"

Then he ordered the servant on the side, "Hurry up and change the wine for Prince Anding."

The emperor gave them the steps, which is to save face for them. King Anding apologized with an embarrassing expression: "Your Majesty is very resourceful and courageous, and Xiao Wang admires him very much. If there is any conflict between the words just now, please forgive me, Madam Haihan, Xiao Wang." Punish yourself with a drink and it will be an apology." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down.

Qingchen said with a faint smile: "Daqian is a country of etiquette, so it is natural to treat distinguished guests generously, and the prince does not need to do this."

Mian Yue despises the timid people the most, she wants to make people look ugly, but she loses herself, but she just wants to try Concubine Chen's courage, but in the end she loses her momentum and makes herself embarrassed and unable to come down. He was angry, but had to force a smile.
