466 Scared You to Death (3)
In the princes’ seats, Prince Li smiled meaningfully. “This Miss Shen is very unforgiving.”
Princess Ming An glared at Shen Miao. Facing her sharp gaze, Shen Miao only smiled faintly. Helpless, Princess Ming An could only look to Huangfu Hao for help.
Huangfu Hao cleared his throat and was also a little angry at Shen Miao for pushing her luck. Princess Ming An represented the State of Qin, so he couldn’t let her suffer humiliation. Therefore, he looked at Emperor Wen Hui and glanced at Shen Miao. “It’s just a game. Why does Miss Shen have to push so hard?”
Emperor Wen Hui looked at the Shen family.
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan drank their tea as if they did not hear anything. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling looked up calmly, but they did not say anything. Feng Anning and Luo Tan stared at Princess Ming An with indignant gazes.
The Shen family’s attitude was very clear. They did not intend to let it go just like that. They were openly going against Princess Ming An. Shen Xin was also angry. Just now, Shen Miao was put in a dangerous situation by Princess Ming An and no one spoke up for her. Now, it was naturally Princess Ming An’s turn to have a taste of this. When Princess Ming An schemed against others, she should be prepared to be retaliated. Since the Shen family was already at the center of the storm, and since the people of the State of Qin had been targeting the Shen family from the beginning, there was nothing to be afraid of. Shen Xin thought that he would kill Princess Ming An today if it was absolutely necessary.
Emperor Wen Hui looked at Shen Xin’s attitude and understood. Shen Xin was protective of his children. Since Shen Xin wanted to take the brunt of offending the State of Qin, Emperor Wen Hui was happy to see it happen. Moreover, he did not like Princess Ming An’s arrogant attitude. He planned to give Princess Ming An a lesson, so he smiled and said to Huangfu Hao, “It’s just a game between children. Crown Prince, why are you so worried? Since they’re having fun, I naturally won’t stop them.”
Huangfu Hao did not expect the Shen family to be so stubborn, nor did he expect Emperor Wen Hui, this old fox, to want to sit back, do nothing, and watch the show. For a moment, he was helpless. Moreover, the officials of Ming Qi gradually showed dissatisfaction and started to whisper. If he really interfered to stop the competition, the State of Qin would be looked down upon. He glared at Princess Ming An warningly and said, “Ming An, since you’re the one who proposed it, play to the end.” He glanced at Shen Miao and said meaningfully, “Since Miss Shen is just having fun, she definitely won’t hurt you.”
In other words, if anything happened to Princess Ming An, Shen Miao would pay the price.
Hearing such a threat, Shen Miao only smiled. “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I have no reason to hurt Princess.”
The more she said that, the more uneasy Princess Ming An felt. However, now that she had no way to back down, she could only do as Shen Miao said. When she walked to the other side, Princess Ming An’s gaze was like a knife that stabbed at Shen Miao. She suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up. She smiled and said, “But Miss Shen, not everyone can pull my bow. I’m afraid you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Miao had already drawn the bow.
Unlike Princess Ming An, who struggled to draw the bow, Shen Miao drew the bow extremely gracefully and easily, as if this bow had been with her for decades and she was very familiar with it. She smiled and looked at Princess Ming An. Facing Princess Ming An’s disbelieving gaze, she said indifferently, “Good bow. I’m very used to it. Thank you.”
