465 Scared You to Death (2)
“How dare you!” Princess Ming An screamed. She suddenly saw angry gazes directed at her from all directions and suddenly understood that she was in Ming Qi’s territory. Screaming at Shen Miao had already angered everyone. She looked at Shen Miao and suddenly sneered. “I can afford to lose, but… don’t be smug too early. Let’s see if you can hit the mark.”
Princess Ming An was angry. Her archery had already reached the point of perfection. This bow was the bow she had used since she was young. She had been shooting blindfolded for many years in the State of Qin and had never made a mistake. How could she miss at the critical moment? However, she couldn’t question Shen Miao in front of everyone.
She was the one who proposed the competition with arrogance, but in the end, not only did she fail to make a fool out of Shen Miao, but she also missed the target. If the princesses and princes of the State of Qin heard this, they would laugh at her. At the thought of this, Princess Mingan hated Shen Miao even more.
Shen Miao looked at Princess Ming An with an unfathomable gaze. In her previous life, she stayed in the State of Qin for five years and lived with this princess for five years. Shen Miao knew Princess Ming An’s personality better than anyone. Princess Ming An liked to make fun of her the most. She would propose to compete with Shen Miao on archery. When she shot, one arrow would shoot off Shen Miao’s hairpin, causing her hair to fly in all directions, and the other would tear off her clothes. Occasionally, Princess Ming An would “accidentally” hurt her body. When Princess Ming An drew the bow, Shen Miao knew what she was up to. How could she not know?
Therefore, Shen Miao tilted her head slightly and let the arrow “coincidentally” whiz past her.
No one would believe Princess Ming An’s words, just like back then, no one believed Shen Miao who was held hostage in a foreign land.
Of course, the game had just begun.
Shen Miao held the red apple and smiled. “Now, it’s my turn. Princess, please bite this apple.”
At first, everyone was whispering to each other under their breath. When they heard what Shen Miao was saying, they were instantly shocked into silence.
Princess Ming An widened her eyes and looked at Shen Miao in disbelief. “What did you say?” Her voice became sharper and hoarser.
Shen Miao smiled at her, her eyes curled into a crescent shape. “Didn’t Your Highness just say that this is how the game is played in the State of Qin where the person who shoots the arrow has a right to decide where the apple is placed. You wanted the apple to be put on my head, and I did as I was told. Now…” She smiled gracefully.” If Your Highness is afraid, you can find someone else to do it.”
As soon as she said that, Princess Ming An was so angry that she almost fell to the ground. If Princess Ming An found someone else to do it for her, wouldn’t it mean that she, the princess of the State of Qin, was timid and couldn’t afford to lose?
Yi Peilan gasped and said to Shen Yue, “Is she crazy? How dare she go against Princess Ming An?”
At the school test, Shen Miao dared to confront Cai Lin because Shen Xin’s official position was not inferior to Lord Cai’s. However, this time, her opponent was a princess of a country. It was really unexpected that Shen Miao dared to provoke Princess Ming An like this. Cai Lin and Lord Cai looked at each other. They originally thought that Shen Miao had a grudge against Cai Lin, but now it seemed that Shen Miao did not take him seriously.
