The mansion where the Qin people lived was probably renovated, and the layout was somewhat different from that of Ming Qi's mansion. Shen Miao noticed as soon as she entered, this Yanqing Lane mansion was probably renovated by the Qin people, and it had the same style as the original Qin palace, which was extremely luxurious.
Qin people liked things that were shiny and golden, just like Shen Miao in the past, probably thought that gold and silver could show the wealth of the country, even some of the bricks in the palace were made of gold. When Shen Miao went to Qin State for the first time, she was very envious when she saw that the palace was so beautifully renovated. Now that I think about it, I can't compliment the royal family of Qin. It's a cliché to rush to show that they have money.
She was led into the garden by the maid who led the way and Shen Miao finally saw Princess Ming An.
Princess Ming An was sitting at the small stone table in the garden. The stone table was covered with a fine silk handkerchief embroidered with butterflies. On it, there were several plates of delicate snacks and a pot of tea. Adjacent to it is a small pond. At this season, the pond water has not yet frozen. There are many red carp in the pond shaking their heads and tails. Several maids are sitting on the side, holding small bowls to feed fish food into the pond.
Shen Miao stood in front of Princess Ming An and saluted with Princess Ming An.
Princess Ming An turned her head.
Among the three countries of Ming Qi, Great Liang and Qin, Great Liang is the most prosperous. In comparison, Ming Qi and Qin are much less powerful. However, compared with the Qin State, the Qin State is better than the Ming Qi, because the Qin State has stronger troops.
Xu was the royal family of Ming Qi, and the Fu family wanted too much to bring military power back to the royal family, and they dared not let it go. After all these years, it was difficult for Ming Qi to produce some outstanding generals. For example, Shen Xin and Xie Ding, when these two were gradually not as good as before, Ming Qi couldn't find another family of military generals to take their place. Therefore, for this tribute banquet, Emperor Wen Hui recalled Shen Xin in such a hurry, so as not to lose face in front of other countries.
Perhaps Qin Guo also knew that he couldn't compare to Great Liang, but he was superior to Ming Qi. Qin people always had a sense of superiority in front of Ming Qi people. This kind of feeling was very disgusting, when Shen Miao traveled across mountains and rivers to Qin State in her previous life, it seemed that a small palace maid in Qin State Palace looked down on her at heart. The royal family of the Qin country did even more disrespectful things. It seemed that stepping on her dignity would be able to step on Ming Qi's dignity.
Seeing Princess Ming An at this moment, some memories of the previous life came flooding back.
“Bengong invited you to come today, originally thought that you would not dare to come, but I did not expect you to come alone, but you are not small.” Princess Ming An glanced at Shen Miao and her eyes suddenly became gloomy. Today, she was wearing a golden red dress with lavender gauze and gilt, and her make-up was also the most beautiful in the Qin country, but when she saw Shen Miao wearing a lilac-colored cloak with no makeup applied, she was dwarfed.
In fact, Princess Ming An was born very delicate and beautiful. She was a typical royal woman of the Qin state. There are many kinds of pleasant temperament, Shen Miao’s appearance is more delicate and gentle, but her temperament is eye-catching, and her dignified and dignified appearance makes her whole body not feel soft and waxy, as if she had been sitting on a high palace throne for many years. A woman is an extravagance that cannot be cultivated throughout her body.
“Princess is joking.” Shen Miao’s expression did not change, “Princess is Ming Qi’s guest, since Shen Miao was fortunate to be invited, how could she not come to the appointment.”
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu stood behind Shen Miao, Mo Qing was stopped by the guards at the door and Shen Miao did not say anything. Shen Miao knew clearly about Princess Ming An's temperament. Since Princess Ming An posted a post today, it is impossible to do anything really dangerous to her. It was nothing more than using some means to make her suffer, Shen Miao was well prepared when she came, but the suffering was not for nothing. What Princess Ming An did today, she will definitely exaggerate the return tenfold.
"Your lip service is quite agile. Of course, Ben Gong knows that you are very courageous. Otherwise, at the tribute banquet, you would not deliberately make Ben Gong look ugly." Thinking of what happened at the tribute banquet, Princess Ming An's eyes flashed. A trace of murder. To know that she is the most favored princess in Qin, even in the Qin imperial family, everyone should fear her for three points. Unexpectedly, Ming Qi, who was inferior to Qin in everything, was frightened and fainted by Shen Miao at the tribute banquet. Thinking of her own facelessness, Princess Ming An wanted to kill the person in front of her. If it wasn't for the fact that he was still in Ming Qi and was warned by Huangfu Hao, Princess Ming An would have let Shen Miao die now.
She suddenly looked at Shen Miao and smiled and said, "Seeing that your archery skills are outstanding in this palace, I feel that there are not many sisters like you in the Qin palace, it is not like your emperor here making a request for you to follow this palace. Would you like to go back to Qin State together?"
Shen Miao almost laughed, in the past and present, this Princess Ming An seemed to be wrong with her, but now these words seem to be back in her previous life, when she volunteered to go to Qin as a hostage, Princess Ming An was also right Fu Xiu Yi said. She said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, since she is the empress of Ming Qi, Qin Guo will naturally treat her with kindness and anger, and she is a good sister of this palace."
As a result, in Qin, the humiliation she suffered was no less than when she was in Ming Qi. Shen Miao later returned to Qin State, and she was able to persist in fighting with Mei Furen for so long in the harem. Many things were thanks to Qin State's experiences in those five years, and she learned to endure and hibernate.
“If Your Highness the Princess has this intention, just talk to Your Majesty.” Shen Miao smiled nonchalantly, “If Your Majesty agrees, the ministers and daughters can only go to Qin Country with Her Majesty the Princess.”
Princess Ming An originally wanted to suppress Shen Miao with ridicule and sarcasm, but she never thought that Shen Miao would retort, Shen Miao is Shen Xin's precious daughter, even if Emperor Wen Hui was trying to keep Shen Xin, she would not touch Shen Miao for the time being. She glared at Shen Miao: "You!"
Shen Miao looked at her with a smile and did not speak.
"Don't worry, just going back like this is too wrong for you." Princess Ming An sneered, her eyes full of viciousness: "Why don't you enter my brother's house and be a concubine? Or a concubine? Want to come? The emperor of Ming Qi is also very willing."
Shen Miao frowned slightly. If Ming Qi wanted to befriend the Qin state, marriage was indeed a good method. If Princess Ming An really persuaded Huangfu Hao and Huangfu Hao proposed to marry Shen Miao back to be a concubine, Emperor Wen Hui would also agree. In the face of the entire country, no matter how unwilling Shen Xin was, he could not compete with it.
Seeing that Shen Miao was slightly absent-minded, a sneer appeared on Princess Ming An's lips and she suddenly gave a color to the maid next to Shen Miao, that maid suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Miao who was standing by the pond into the pond!
This time it came down so violently and violently that Shen Miao fell into the pond unexpectedly. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu screamed, and it was too late when they wanted to come over to help. Shen Miao could almost feel the cold air from the water splashing on her clothes, but the corners of her lips were also cold. Princess Ming An’s method was nothing more than this, since she couldn’t really hurt her today, she would have to make Shen Miao suffer. This is the result, almost all Shen Miao could have expected.
Shen Miao fell into the water with a thud, she knew how to swim, although the water in early winter was cold, it would not make her unable to move. But she heard a "pop" next to her. At first, she thought she had heard it wrong, and she raised her head, but she saw water splashing around her, and that rolling golden color, who wasn't Princess Ming An
Princess Ming An's screaming sound almost pierced people's ears. She didn't seem to know how to drink water. She screamed: "Come on! Come on!"
Princess Ming'an's maids were also panicked at first sight, and they all went to save people like bamboo poles. Those who knew how to play with water were all guards, but the guards were all men. Princess Ming'an had golden branches and jade leaves. The body, the head will be looked at the next day, and no one will come forward to save him. Besides... The place where Princess Ming An fell into the water is really too far.
Shen Miao was pushed into the pond and fell from the edge of the pond, so the place where she fell into the water was not far from the edge of the pond, but Princess Ming An was so good that she fell directly into the middle of the pond, even the bamboo pole. are not enough.
Shen Miao looked at this funny appearance and thought it was a little funny. But now is not the time to watch a play in the water, when everyone is in a hurry, she is leisurely swimming to the pond.
Fang You reached the edge of the pond, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were already panicking and were about to pull her up, only halfway through when they heard an angry shout, "What's going on?"
I saw two men coming from outside the garden. One was a man in golden clothes and a jade crown on his head. His face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. The other person was wearing a gilt purple robe, a black cloak, and a half-silver mask covering his face, but he did not change his splendid and heroic appearance, and followed Huangfu Hao's footsteps to this end.
"Go back to your Highness, the princess has fallen into the water!" The servants hurriedly informed. Looking at the chaotic appearance of the crowd, Huangfu Hao took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at the expression of Prince Rui beside him. But Prince Rui was wearing a mask, and his lips were slightly hooked under the mask, so who could see clearly what he was thinking at the moment.
He shouted to the guards behind him in a deep voice: "Let's go quickly!"
The guard's expression froze, but there was nothing he could do. He flew towards the pond. He probably had some martial arts skills in the water, and even brought Princess Ming An to the shore.
Princess Ming An choked a lot of water, and the first thing she did when she got ashore was to scream at Shen Miao, “This bitch, push me into the water. Brother Crown Prince, you killed her for me!”
Princess Ming An was also furious, she could say such words in front of everyone. Huangfu Hao was startled and stopped her, "Ming An!"
Princess Ming An was taken aback for a moment, and then she saw that Prince Rui was still standing beside Huangfu Hao. She was startled, and then her face flushed with anger. Being so embarrassed in front of such a magnificent man, if there was a hole in the ground, Princess Ming An would like to crawl into it. And all these were given by Shen Miao.
Jing Zhe could not hold back and retorted on Shen Miao's behalf, "Your Highness Princess's words are so unreasonable, it was obviously my girl who fell into the water first, how could she free up her hand to push Her Royal Highness, my girl is not an immortal, how could there be such a three-headed and six-armed girl? ability?"
"What kind of thing are you? Dare to speak to Ben Gong like this?" Princess Ming An laughed instead of being angry, "Do you mean that Ben Gong is slandering Shen Miao? Come on! Give this nonsense servant to Ben. The palace is arrested!"
Shen Miao smiled coldly and put Jing Zhe behind her and said, "His Royal Highness Princess is from the Qin country, Jing Zhe is my person, this is Ming Qi, when will the Qin people be able to roam the land of Ming Qi?"
She used the word "Saye", which was not polite at all, and even Huangfu Hao couldn't help but glance at her.
"You are presumptuous!" Princess Ming An shouted.
"The servant girl does not feel that she is presumptuous." Shen Miao's aura was not weak at all. She is not the Empress Shen who swallowed her voice in Qin State now. Besides, if she can't protect even a maid, her life will be in vain. If Princess Ming An is so wild with her identity, she doesn't even need to use her brain to deal with her.
This is the mansion of the Qin people. The servants of Princess Ming An have already sent cloaks to cover Princess Ming An's wet body. But Shen Miao did not, when she came, the cloak of lilac color was already soaked wet and almost stuck to her body, even if Jing Zhe and Gu Yu wanted to block her with their bodies, it was impossible. Huangfu Hao stared at Shen Miao but was a little presumptuous.
At this moment, Prince Rui laughed lightly and suddenly took off his black cloak and threw it lightly on Shen Miao, which happened to cover Shen Miao tightly. This move made the surrounding people stunned for a moment, this Great Liang Prince Rui had been alone since he came to Dingjing, he had no friendship with Ming Qi, and did not deliberately befriend the Qin country, and inexplicably he would help Shen Miao.
Huangfu Hao looked at Shen Miao and thought deeply, but Princess Ming An bit her lip jealously.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu supported Shen Miao to stand up. Princess Ming An couldn't hold back and said, "It's clear that you pushed Ben Gong down. If it wasn't for you, why would Ben Gong fall into the lake? Could it be that my servant pushed Ben Gong down?"
Shen Miao smiled, although her hair was all wet, her calm and dignified expression was much more dignified compared to the now furious Princess Ming An. She said, "The servant girl has already explained for the servant girl how to push Her Royal Highness when the servant girl falls into the water first? Maybe Her Royal Highness herself slips and falls."
Princess Ming An said angrily, "If Ben Gong slipped by himself, how could he slip into the middle of the pond?"
“It’s a coincidence,” Shen Miao said indifferently, “The servant girl is not a strong warrior with infinite strength, it is really impossible to push the princess so far from the middle of the pond.”
A chuckle suddenly escaped, and everyone looked up, only to see Prince Rui hooked his lips, but although he was laughing, he couldn't see the expression under the mask, which made people feel a little unpredictable.
Princess Ming An gritted her teeth and looked at Prince Rui, "Since Your Highness is here, you are neither from Ming Qi nor from the Qin country, please please Your Highness to preside over justice and see who is lying between Ben Gong and Shen Miao?"
When Huangfu Hao wanted to stop Princess Ming An, it was too late, Huangfu Hao was furious in his heart, Princess Ming An was arrogant, but had no brains. Although he knew that Princess Ming An was here today for Shen Miao, he did not expect that Princess Ming An would use such a stupid method. One was not good, when Shen Miao made a bitter plan, Princess Ming An would not be able to do well either, and it was even more coincidental that Prince Rui of Great Liang came to visit suddenly for some reason, and seeing this chaotic scene, Huangfu Hao was almost overwhelmed. Strangle Princess Ming An.
Shen Miao lowered her eyes, Princess Ming An raised her head and looked at him with hope, there was some embarrassment on Huangfu Hao's face, Prince Rui hooked his lips: "Why does this prince care about these trivial matters?"
Princess Ming An was stunned for a moment and Shen Miao rolled her eyes secretly.
"Your mansion is also quite lively." Prince Rui's words could not be heard to be sarcasm, but that cloudy tone suddenly made Huangfu Hao feel a little unhappy. He glanced at Shen Miao who was wearing Prince Rui's cloak and suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Today was just a misunderstanding, I just didn't expect that Miss Shen would be affected by it. This Gong hereby apologizes to Miss Shen on behalf of her sister, I also hope that Miss Shen will not mind."
“Brother Crown Prince!” Princess Ming An did not expect that Huangfu Hao would be soft on Shen Miao, she became anxious and shouted dissatisfied. However, Huangfu Hao gave him a cold stare and did not dare to make a sound, just looking at Shen Miao with both jealous and hateful eyes.
Shen Miao looked at Huangfu Hao and said lightly, "His Royal Highness has spoken, but ministers and daughters dare not refuse to obey." The words of this tolerance were also reluctant and very reluctant. Making Princess Ming An's heart aroused again, Huangfu Hao was also startled and looked at Shen Miao meaningfully.
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and restrained the thousands of emotions in her eyes. On the surface, Huangfu Hao looked wide and polite, but he was actually the most ruthless. This kind of ruthlessness was different from Fu Xiu Yi's ruthlessness, and he couldn't even hide his disgust. When she was in Qin State, Huangfu Hao was drunk once and wanted to insult her. If it wasn't for Gu Yu trying to protect her innocence, I'm afraid that she would have returned to the Ming Qi Palace later and waited for her first. It's just a piece of white silk - the Ming Qi royal family will not tolerate an unfaithful queen.
And even so, Gu Yu was stabbed to death by Huangfu Hao with his guard's sword because he had offended Huangfu Hao. Shen Miao could never forget that Huangfu Hao used his sword to poke several holes in the body of Gu Yu who was already dead, blood kept flowing out, but Huangfu Hao ordered Gu Yu's body to be thrown into the wolves.
She couldn't do anything. She lost a dearest person in Qin, and she couldn't even collect Gu Yu's body.
If it was said that Shen Miao had disgust towards Princess Ming An, but towards Huangfu Hao, she had blood hatred. It's just that now she has no way to make Huangfu Hao pay the price.
Huangfu Hao's eyes became more and more suspicious, the moment Shen Miao narrowed her eyes, he seemed to sense some kind of obvious emotion, which made him feel a little cold. He didn't understand what it was, but instinctively wanted to explore.
When he was about to speak, Prince Rui suddenly turned to the side, he was extremely tall and straight, and the petite Shen Miao was blocked by him so that he could hardly see.
"Today is not the right time," Prince Rui glanced at Huangfu Hao and Princess Ming'an, clearly couldn't see his expression, but they felt that Prince Rui's eyes were a little cool. He continued: "Come back another day."
Huangfu Hao wanted to persuade a few words, but now the situation is still unclear, in any case, Qin State does not want to be an enemy of Great Liang. If this means that Prince Rui of Great Liang can show a little bit of closeness to their Qin Kingdom, Qin Kingdom will naturally be happy to see it happen. I thought I could get close to Prince Rui today, but I didn't want to be screwed up by Princess Ming An. He glared at Princess Ming An fiercely, and said helplessly, "It was this palace that did not entertain me well. If His Highness comes back another day, this palace will definitely give you a warm hospitality."
Prince Rui chuckled lightly, not knowing what it meant, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, glanced at Shen Miao with a half-smile, and said, "Since Miss Shen is also soaked all over, go back earlier. The government is good, would you like to join the king?"
Shen Miao took a deep breath and opened a gentle smile: "Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Huangfu Hao and Princess Ming An watched helplessly as they walked away, Princess Ming An almost bit her lip, she said, "Brother Prince, that bitch is seducing Prince Rui! She even pushed me into the water. It can't be that way!"
"Shut up you idiot." Huangfu Hao gave her a cold look and warned: "This palace will spare you one time for today's matter, and next time, if you do something wrong, and the emperor blames it, this palace will not be able to protect you. !" He turned around and walked away.
Princess Ming An was taught such a lesson by Huangfu Hao and did not dare to contradict her, but her hatred towards Shen Miao deepened. Especially the backs of the two leaving, made her feel like a knife in her heart. She was self-willed and selfish, but her beauty was golden and she never had a man who looked down on her, but it was easy to find a man who looked down on her but seemed to take care of Shen Miao. How can she bear it? Princess Ming An clenched her fists and said bitterly, "Shen Miao, this palace definitely wants you to live rather than die!"
Outside the Qin country mansion, Shen Miao’s carriage was still parked at the door, and when she saw Shen Miao wearing a strange man’s cloak and her hair was loose, Mo Qing suddenly became nervous and said, “Miss…”
“It’s okay,” Shen Miao waved her hand and said, “Let’s go back to the manor first.”
"This king helped Miss Shen, and Miss Shen didn't say a word of thanks, which would be too ruthless." Prince Rui hugged his chest and spoke calmly, but Jing Zhe and the others were stunned.
Shen Miao looked at him coldly and said, "Prince Rui is having fun today?"
“It depends on whether you are happy or not.” He laughed, even through the mask, Shen Miao could also think of the bad expression of the person in front of her at the moment.
“Princess Ming An fell into the water, right?” She approached Xie Jing Xing and said in a low voice, “Why did you do this?”
Xie Jing Xing looked down at her, she was petite, Xie Jing Xing had to bend down slightly if he wanted to speak to her in a low voice, when his eyes were level, he seemed a little too close and could be called ambiguous. His voice was low and sweet with a slight teasing: "What kind of thing is she who can bully you?" After a pause, Xie Jing Xing stared at Shen Miao again and said, "Am I not your person? It is reasonable to help you. "
Shen Miao took a step back abruptly, distanced herself from him, and said indifferently, "Then thank you very much."
“Thank you is not just a word,” Xie Jing Xing raised his lips, “This king should think about it carefully.”
Shen Miao was too lazy to talk to him, and got on the carriage without saying a word, Mo Qing was worried that Shen Miao caught the cold and rushed to the Shen residence without stopping, and soon disappeared in the alley.
Looking at the distance where the carriage could no longer be seen, a tall man suddenly appeared behind Xie Jing Xing. Xie Jing Xing's eyes turned cold and said, "Check it out, has Huangfu Hao been to Ding capital before."
The man bowed his head and left, Xie Jing Xing turned his head and glanced at the gate of King Qin's mansion again, hooked his lips, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
…
On the way back to the residence, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu did not dare to speak, no one expected that Shen Miao would be so difficult for going out today. This Princess Ming An's courage is too big, even in broad daylight, she dares to push people into the water. Jing Zhe's eyes were even reddened. In the crisis at the time, she never cared about the identity of the other party. Now that I think about it, that person is the princess of Qin, and she is just a humble servant. If the other party really wants her, Jing Zhe himself was helpless. It was only now that she remembered that she was afraid.
Shen Miao was in a calm mood, she had long known that Princess Ming An was uneasy and kind, but because the overall situation was the most important, even if no one came today, when Princess Ming An arrived, they would also have someone fish her out of the water, no It would really take her life. Unexpectedly, an evil spirit suddenly appeared and pushed Princess Ming An into the water.
This was naturally the hands and feet of Xie Jing's actions, Xie Jing Xing was lawless and had no eyes, so he even tricked Princess Ming An in front of Huangfu Hao. I'm afraid Huangfu Hao will realize that something is wrong when he thinks back. After all, when Princess Ming An fell, she fell into the middle of the pond. How could she do it without martial arts. As for the outsiders with martial arts present, Xie Jing Xing was the only one. Even if he didn't know if it was Xie Jing Xing's actions, he always had some doubts.
but… . Shen Miao's eyes moved slightly, Xie Jing Xing's hand made Princess Ming An so embarrassed, which really made one feel extremely relieved. If there is no Xie Jing Xing today, she will take the reason but also suffer the pain, now she takes the reason and eats the pain, but seeing Princess Ming An slumped, she feels that the pain is worth it.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were originally looking at Shen Miao with some worry, but seeing that Shen Miao did not know what to think, the corners of her lips slightly raised and seemed to be somewhat happy. The two of them looked at each other and both were a little confused, not knowing how Shen Miao was so happy when she was pushed into the water today
After returning to the Shen residence, because Shen Miao was soaked all over, she had to sneak in through the back door. Jing Zhe hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe Shen Miao's hair, changed her into clean clothes, and Gu Yu went to instruct the kitchen to make ginger tea. Shen Miao sat for a while and asked, "Why don't you see Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang?"
Before she left, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang waited for news in the mansion, but now there is no one. Just as he was talking, he saw Bai Lu coming back from outside and seeing Shen Miao, she was pleasantly surprised, "Young lady is back, Madam Fangcai asked where the servant girl went, why haven't she come back."
“Mother, what’s the matter?” Shen Miao dried her hair with great difficulty and asked after hearing the words.
"I heard that the daughter of one of the benefactors of the old general came to the door. Madam was chatting with the young lady outside, and she wanted the girl to come and have a look."
Shen Miao held the handkerchief's hand for a while, her eyes sharpened, "What's that person's name?"
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment and felt that Shen Miao's eyes were a little cold, and replied subconsciously, "I heard that the surname is Chang."
