Chapter 1411 I want you alone
"Then let the queen arrange for someone to compete with me." Sai Qing retreated and begged for the best.
If she can win the hunt, she will slap Da Qi in the face, and let Xiao Ce know that she is not an embroidered pillow, which will be beneficial to her entering Da Qi's harem.
Although she would rather have Qin Zhao compete with her, then Qin Zhao would definitely lose to her, and there would be no suspense about the result.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce gave her an affirmative look, to the effect that he was letting her make her own decision.
He squeezed Qin Zhao's palm, and Qin Zhao calmed down, looked at the dozen or so concubines sitting aside and asked, "Which sister is willing to come out and challenge?"
Her eyes swept over He Zhaoyi.
He Zhaoyi won the Cavalry Archery in the last competition. If He Zhaoyi takes up the challenge, he may still have a chance to win against Sai Qing.
Of course, He Zhaoyi understood Qin Zhao's intention to challenge herself. She also wanted to perform in front of Xiao Ce, but if she didn't perform well and lost the competition, and she would be asked about her guilt at that time, would she have gained or lost?
The most important thing is that she doesn't want to help Qin Zhao. If she doesn't come out to fight, won't Qin Zhao have to come out and fight on his own?
When Qin Zhao loses to Sai Qing, it will be a shame for Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce, as well as for Da Qi. Qin Zhao, the queen, will be even more disgraceful.
After careful calculation, she still felt that she should not be involved in the muddy water this time. As long as she did not come out to challenge, it would be Qin Zhao who would be embarrassed.
Qin Zhao waited for a while and saw that no one in the harem was willing to come out to challenge, but he was not surprised.
She looked at the noble ladies and asked: "Is there any of you willing to come out and compete with Princess Saiqing?!"
As soon as she changed her target, a heroic young girl stepped forward and responded: "Your Majesty Ruan Nuan would like to ask the princess to teach you something!"
Qin Zhao knew about Ruan Nuan. After all, Mrs. Gaoming and the noble daughter participating in the hunt were all chosen by her personally.
The Ruan family has been loyal for generations and has produced many soldiers. However, Ruan Nuan's generation has withered away. Ruan Nuan has only one sister and no brothers. His father is An Chengbo.
Sai Qing was feeling proud that no one dared to come out to fight with her. Then a little girl aged fourteen or five suddenly appeared and said that she wanted to compete with her. Upon seeing this, she sneered and said: "Since it is a competition, there must be a chance to win."
The winner is..."
She turned her eyes and looked at Xiao Ce with her wonderful eyes, her affection couldn't be concealed: "The winner is the woman who becomes His Majesty Da Qi."
Whether she loses or wins, Qin Zhao is the one who responds to such a lottery, how wonderful!
Ruan Nuan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't want to enter Jinshang's harem, so wouldn't she have to lose?
But she couldn't lose to Sai Qing, otherwise wouldn't the relationship between the Queen and the Emperor be affected?
Speaking of which, the woman she admired most in her life was the Queen, and what she liked to hear the most was the various gossips coming out of the harem.
To put it bluntly, she most likes to hear anecdotes about how His Majesty the Emperor doted on the Queen.
"The lottery that His Highness said is good, but I'm in the process of getting married. I can't have the lottery that His Highness said."
Speaking of this, she turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Well, if my daughter is lucky enough to win, the emperor will reward her with a calligraphy and painting. I wonder what the emperor's intention is?"
Xiao Ce was very satisfied with Ruan Nuan's suggestion and responded readily: "That's right!"
Sai Qing felt that Ruan Nuan was stupid for not wanting to enter Da Qi's harem when he had the chance.
Xiao Ce had spoken, so she couldn't continue to act like a monster.
Anyway, as long as she wins over Ruan Nuan, she can enter Xiao Ce's harem, and she will achieve her goal.
She was good at riding and shooting, and she also liked hunting. She had no rivals in Da Yuezhi. She didn't believe that when she got to Da Qi, she couldn't win against these weak women who had no strength to restrain a chicken.
What's more, Ruan Nuan looks very young, a yellow-haired girl, so why should she be afraid?
The competition time was set to one hour. Sai Qing and Ruan Nuan broke into the forest at the same time, and the competition officially started.
Qin Zhao felt bored while sitting, looked at Xiao Ce, and joked: "If Sai Qing wins, the emperor will have a new member in his harem."
Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently: "I think the winner must be Miss Ruan."
Qin Zhao was a little surprised that Xiao Ce was so calm: "Where does the emperor get his confidence?"
"There are no weak children in the Ruan family. Although Miss Ruan is young, she is raised as a son. How can An Chengbo's children be any worse?!" Xiao Ce responded quietly.
Qin Zhao had also heard about An Chengbo's deeds and knew that An Chengbo was a tiger general who had made countless meritorious deeds. He only suffered one serious injury and rarely went to the battlefield again.
To be precise, there is no weak person in the Ruan family, no matter men, women, old or young, they can go to the battlefield.
It's just that Ruan Nuan is still young and rarely shows his face, so there is very little news about Ruan Nuan.
"It seems that the emperor is confident. I'll wait for the good news." Qin Zhao didn't ask any more questions.
If there was no confidence in the competition, Xiao Ce would not be so calm. To put it bluntly, she did not have confidence in Ruan Nuan, but in Xiao Ce.
Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce were whispering when Qiu Shui replaced Zhidong and came forward to pour tea and water.
When Qin Zhao saw it was Qiu Shui, he smiled warmly at her, and Qiu Shui smiled back at Qin Zhao.
This scene fell in Seth's eyes. He was silent for a moment and suddenly raised his voice: "What's your name?"
Qin Zhao and Qiu Shui looked at Seth almost at the same time, and Seth's gaze was fixed on Qiu Shui's face: "I want you."
Qiu Shui's face changed slightly, she never expected that Seth would have his mind set on her.
Qin Zhao also didn't expect that Seth would fall in love with Zhong Qiushui.
She looked at Qiu Shui and saw only Qiu Shui's pale face. She felt that it was not surprising that Seth would fall in love with Qiu Shui. Qiu Shui was naturally beautiful, and even though she was already in her twenties, she was still so beautiful that it was heart-breaking.
But because Qiu Shui was waiting in front of the emperor, no one dared to make plans for Qiu Shui.
Seth was lucky, he actually fell in love with Qiu Shui and even asked for Qiu Shui in front of everyone.
No, didn’t Seth want Princess Yongning? Why did he suddenly set his sights on Qiu Shui?
After the initial fright, Qiu Shui subconsciously looked at Qin Zhao. She knew that there was no chance of begging the emperor, but if she begged the empress, she still had a chance of survival.
She can't get married, and she doesn't want to be named a princess. She just wants to stay in Daqi.
Seth saw the scene he wanted to see and felt very happy.
The reason why he suddenly wanted a little palace maid was not because Qiu Shui was beautiful, but because he saw the "blinking" between Qin Zhao and Qiu Shui.
Only people who were close to Qin Zhao would behave like this. Since he couldn't take Qin Zhao away, he had to take a woman Qin Zhao cared about back to the Dayue clan, so he came up with Qiu Shui's idea.
Facts have proved that he did the right thing.
Seeing Qin Zhao's embarrassed look, he felt happy.
"Why, Queen Qin can't bear to leave her alone?!" Seth asked with a slight frown.
