495 Worse Than A Tiger (2)
Huangfu Hao glanced at Princess Ming An coldly. When he thought of what happened at the tribute banquet, his face immediately darkened. Although what Princess Ming An said was not the truth, after all, it was Princess Ming An who took the initiative to compete with Shen Miao in archery. He was not sure if Shen Miao asked Princess Ming An to bite the apple on purpose, but when this matter spread to the State of Qin, the emperor would definitely blame him. For some reason, Huangfu Hao felt that Shen Miao was very special. Everyone had to familiarize with Princess Ming An’s bow for a few days before they could master it, but Shen Miao seemed to have practiced it thousands of times. When he stole glances at Shen Miao, her eyes seemed to be filled with hostility.
Ming Qi and the State of Qin were not enemies yet. Why was Shen Miao hostile to him and Princess Ming An? Before this, they did not know each other. Was it just because Princess Ming An made things difficult for her? Then Shen Miao was too unforgiving.
Seeing that Huangfu Hao was not talking and was thinking about something, Princess Ming An suddenly widened her eyes in surprise. “Crown Prince, are you bewitched by her? What’s so good about that little b*tch? Don’t forget that before this, everyone knew that she was infatuated with Prince Ding. She’s an out-and-out idiot. Don’t be bewitched by her!”
Huangfu Hao waved his hand impatiently. “What are you talking about? And you. Don’t forget what Father told us to do this time. I don’t care what you want to do to Shen Miao. Don’t do it in this mansion, and don’t leave any evidence behind. Now that the emperor of Ming Qi has to rely on Shen Xin, if you touch Shen Miao, Shen Xin will definitely fall out with the State of Qin and the alliance with Ming Qi will be ruined. You’d better think of the bigger picture.”
After being warned, Princess Ming An’s expression softened. However, when she looked at him seriously, the anger in her eyes intensified. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Crown Prince. I won’t cause trouble for us. I invited her over just to see what kind of person Shen Miao is. If I really want to make a move, I won’t do it openly. Have you forgotten what we loved to do when we were young? We watched dogs fight each other. There are so many dogs in Ming Qi. It won’t be difficult to find one to fight for us.”
Huangfu Hao also smiled. “As long as you know your limits.”
…
The sky gradually darkened. In the Shen family’s mansion in the capital, in the dimly lit west courtyard, Chen Ruoqiu and Chang Zaiqing were talking.
Chen Ruoqiu smiled and said, “This handkerchief is embroidered with poems. It’s really beautiful. At first, I didn’t know what it meant to be ingenious. Now that I see Miss Chang, I completely understand.”
Chang Zaiqing pursed his lips and smiled. “Madam, you flatter me. It’s just that I can’t help much here. I feel bad staying here for free, so I can only embroider some handkerchiefs for you. They’re not worth much. I hope Madam won’t mind.”
“I won’t mind.” Chen Ruoqiu looked at the handkerchief and carefully folded it before putting it away in her sleeve. She smiled and said, “I have to hide such a good thing. Otherwise, if Yue sees it, she will try to take it from me. Whatever she likes from me, she will nag me until I give it to her. This handkerchief is exquisite. I can’t bear to give it to her.”
Chang Zaiqing smiled. “If Second Miss likes it, I’ll embroider another one for her.”
“That’s good.” Chen Ruoqiu also smiled. “This way, I won’t have to worry about Yue taking it away from me.” She smiled at Chang Zaiqing and asked, “Speaking of which, Miss Chang, have you thought about what I said to you before?”
