Chapter 1410 Hunting Competition
Only then did Seth arrive belatedly.
The two kings exchanged some polite words, and Seth asked about Xiao Ce's harvest during today's hunting.
Xiao Ce was not polite. With a wave of his dragon sleeves, the guards threw several lifeless tigers at Seth's feet.
When Seth saw this bloody scene, his expression showed no abnormality. He only smiled and said: "Seeing these prey, you know how exciting the hunting is. I admire you! I wonder if Queen Qin will be scared when she sees this scene."
His eyes fell on Qin Zhao's face.
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a gentle voice: "These beasts died well, what is there to be afraid of? I believe that what should be feared is the human heart. Some people have human faces and beast hearts, which are more fearful than these beasts."
Seth laughed quietly, finding Qin Zhao's criticism of Sang and Huai quite interesting.
He always felt that it was a pity that Qin Zhao could not be brought into the Dayue clan that year. Otherwise, after his training, Qin Zhao would not be as arrogant as he is now.
Qin Zhao was too lazy to talk to Seth anymore, and turned around to put a high hat on Xiao Ce: "Today's hunting was really interesting. Seeing the emperor hanging those dead animals, I especially admire the emperor. There will be no more in this world.
There is a more powerful person than the Emperor, and it is reasonable for those maggots in the gutter to be jealous when they see the Emperor."
Her rainbow farts came at every turn, without even a moment's pause in front of everyone. Seth was amazed when he heard this, but he was also dissatisfied and a little envious of Xiao Ce for marrying such an interesting woman like Qin Zhao.
After that, Seth was once again reduced to the background. This was Qin Zhao's deliberate neglect. Xiao Ce cooperated with Qin Zhao's extravagant praise and performed a scene of the emperor's love with Qin Zhao.
Everyone, including Seth, was forced to stuff a large bowl of dog food until they could hardly sit still, and then they saw the young talents who went hunting coming back one after another.
The first one to come back was Zhao Yu. He had a lot of prey, including a leopard. There were also many other small beasts, a dozen in total.
The leopard hunted by Zhao Yu was very conspicuous, and his performance this time was very good.
Others also came back one after another, bringing different prey, but none as much as Zhao Yu.
Xiao Yi was the last one to come back, and he only hunted a rabbit. However, among Xiao Yi's prey, there was also a beautiful girl, who was trapped in Xiao Yi's arms.
The moment he saw this scene, Qin Zhao subconsciously felt that Xiao Yi was trying very hard to maintain his persona of a romantic and idle prince.
She had seen the noble girl in Xiao Yi's arms, and had some impression that she was a noble girl who had a relationship with Zhuang Qing. Her name was Lu He, and her family was not particularly wealthy.
Just last night at the banquet, Zhuang Qing and Lu He were sitting together, whispering to each other.
I didn't expect Xiao Yi to be attacked by Lu He today, and Lu He still looked shy and timid.
Seeing this scene, Lu's father's expression was naturally very exciting. Who here didn't know that Xiao Yi was a dissolute man? There were many beauties in the palace. In addition, there was a new mistress in the palace, and Xiao Yi could only be a concubine.
room.
However, Lu He was not his legitimate daughter. Perhaps it was because of this that Lu He boarded Xiao Yi's pirate ship.
Zhuang Qing was also very annoyed when she saw this scene. She couldn't understand why Lu He couldn't think about a man like Xiao Yi. Even if Lu He was not a legitimate child, as long as his wealth was clean, he could still marry into a good family.
Now that his reputation has been ruined by Xiao Yi, Lu He has no choice but to follow Xiao Yi.
How could there be such a hard-thinking person? It would be okay if she didn't know him, but she always felt that Lu He was a rational woman and would not do such stupid things.
Xiao Yi was very satisfied with the feeling of being the center of attention. He hugged Lu He and got off the horse, not forgetting to twist the rabbit with an injured foot. The rabbit's fur was all white and it looked very cute.
Xiao Yi had already had an idea and stepped forward to Qin Zhao: "Can the emperor's sister-in-law help my brother raise this rabbit?"
He felt that any woman would be interested and possessive of such a small animal, right?
Although Qin Zhao is different from ordinary women, she should have difficulty rejecting such a little creature.
Qin Zhaowei never looked at Xiao Yi and said calmly, "I don't like this kind of thing."
She was only worried about Xiao Ce's wild thoughts. How Xiao Yi felt in Xiao Ce's heart when he was so attentive to her in front of Xiao Ce.
"The emperor's sister-in-law doesn't like it, so forget it." Xiao Yi said, throwing the hare away, which was considered to have revealed the matter.
Most people didn't see much of this episode. Some people thought that Xiao Yi would please Qin Zhao like this, but in fact he was indirectly trying to please Xiao Ce.
After all, everyone knows that Xiao Ce cares about Qin Zhao. As long as Qin Zhao is happy, Xiao Ce will also be happy indirectly.
There are also people who know the inside story, such as Zhao Yu and Xiao Ce. The moment Xiao Yi offered the rabbit to Qin Zhao, they saw through that Xiao Yi's true intention was to please Qin Zhao.
After Xiao Yi was rejected by Qin Zhao, he suddenly felt that the new woman seemed ordinary and vulgar. Compared with Qin Zhao's stunning beauty, Lu He was so ordinary that he couldn't be interested in her.
If he hadn't known that Zhuang Qing and Lu He were friends, and Qin Zhao had a close personal relationship with Zhuang Qing, he would never have looked down upon a woman like Lu He.
Of course, Lu He himself also noticed the change in Xiao Yi's mood. Before, he talked about beauty and touched her. After failing to show his courtesy to Qin Zhao, Xiao Yi let her go, looking uninterested.
It was exactly the opposite of the romantic demeanor when he teased her before.
Xiao Yi's rabbit offering came to an end, and Xiao Ce then awarded prizes to the top three hunters.
After Zhao Yu became a member of the cabinet, only the position of chief minister of the cabinet interested him. So naturally, Zhao Yu would firmly grasp the matter of gaining favor or gaining favor in front of the emperor.
In fact, it is very simple to get Xiao Ce's attention. You only need to be loyal to Xiao Ce. He and Xiao Ce have had a friendship since they were young. If Qin Zhao had not appeared, Xiao Ce would not have ignored him.
Now that everything is back on track, Xiao Ce is no longer as wary of him as before. This is a good sign.
Since he has no fate with Qin Zhao in this life, his next goal is to move towards becoming the chief minister of the cabinet.
After the rewards were given in sequence, Sai Qing also started to show signs of trouble.
"Queen, shall we have a hunting competition this afternoon?" Sai Qing said.
Qin Zhao already knew in the morning that she had no talent for hunting, but to face Sai Qing's challenge, she did not have to step forward.
Before Qin Zhao had time to speak, Xiao Ce held Qin Zhao's hand and said to Sai Qing: "The queen has a very noble body, and I can't bear to let the queen suffer. If the princess really wants to compete, she can ask the queen to arrange for someone else to take over.
"
He only said that Sai Qing was not qualified to compete with Qin Zhao.
Sai Qing's beautiful eyes turned around, and she didn't like to see the scene of Xiao Ce protecting Qin Zhao. But Qin Zhao was Xiao Ce's queen, what could she, an outsider, say?
Xiao Ce is protecting Qin Zhao, is there any chance for her to say no?
