But Pei Lang knew that Shen Miao would not put herself in a difficult situation. Because she had a heart that was more ruthless than everyone else.
Prince Rui quickly returned the bow to Princess Ming An. Princess Ming An shyly and timidly took it and said to Shen Miao, "May Young Lady Shen stand over there. Also …" She picked up an apple from the maid's tray and handed it to Shen Miao with a smile, "Young Lady Shen, place it on your head."
Shen Qiu who was seated suddenly clenched her fists.
"Yes." Shen Miao's eyes drooped down as she took the apple and walked over to the other side.
Everyone looked at her actions, and Princess Ming An had already ordered people to tie black cloth strips over her eyes. But Prince Rui walked over to Shen Miao's side.
Under everyone's eyes, he took the apple from Shen Miao's hands. Shen Miao was startled for a moment as Prince Rui took that apple and gently placed it on her head.
Shen Miao looked up at him.
Because there was something on her head, Shen Miao was afraid that the apple would fall if she moved too much, thus she could only look at him motionlessly. The young man was extremely tall and even if Shen Miao had grown a few centimeters in these two years, she would only reach his chest. She could see the golden buttons on his shirt, and she could also see the meaningful look in his eyes.
The silver mask revealed this man's good looking chin and red lips. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, making one think if there was such a smiling face under the mask. His black eyes were like the stars and autumn water. When he looked over, it seemed to be gentle but also seemed to be ridiculing.
Ridiculing?
He placed the apple on Shen Miao's head and bent a finger to rub Shen Miao's hair, as if he was stroking a small beast in captivity. But it was only for a short moment before he took it back. Because he was blocking with his body sideways, when others looked at it from this angle, they would only feel that this Prince Rui of the Great Liang was placing the apple for Shen Miao, and did not have any other actions.
He turned and walked to the side, as if he was watching a good show with his arms crossed.
Shen Miao's attention was attracted by Princess Ming An in front of her. Princess Ming An was slowly pulling the bow.
That bow seemed to be very cumbersome, and Princess Ming An was also pulling it strenuously. The harder she pulled, the more the bow was pulled, and the heavier everyone's heart became. Especially Shen Xin's family, their faces were as heavy as water.
The more the bow was pulled, the greater Princess Ming An's strength would be, and the greater the strength of the arrow, the more dangerous it would be for Shen Miao. One feared that the residual force of the arrow would bring Shen Miao down. And in this competition, how was it like what Princess Ming An said? It was only a game, but this was a big matter that concerned the face of a country. Losing was a loss of face, but showing fear was also a loss of face. Shen Miao and Princess Ming An, everyone was actually optimistic about Princess Ming An, and only hoped that Shen Miao would not lose too badly.
Shen Miao quietly looked at Princess Ming An, whose eyes were tied with a black cloth. One did not know if Princess Ming An was deliberately torturing Shen Miao as she pulled the bow slower and slower, and the sound of the bow being pulled tore the hearts of everyone present.
Shen Miao's eyes were in a trance, as if she was not at the tribute banquet but in a foreign country, the Qin country. The princes and princesses of the Qin Kingdom, as well as the ladies of the officials' families, surround her in the middle as if they are watching a joke. And she was wearing clothes that had been mended countless of times, and there was a fruit on her head as she looked at the person opposite anxiously.
That person opposite was arrogant and despotic, dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, and had a white cloth tied over her eyes. She arrogantly said to the crowd of males and females around her, "Look! Today let the Empress of Ming Qi put an apple on BenGong's head. Later all of you watch clearly for BenGong. See if this Empress of Ming Qi, who was born in a military family, would be so scared that she peed in her pants? Hahaha, you must see clearly and tell BenGong! "
She arrogantly pulled the bowstring, and the arrow shot over with a 'xiu' sound. It just happened to miss by a little, but it went from top to bottom, piercing through her hair bun and piercing through her lapel. She screamed in panic and wrapped her clothes tightly, but when she covered it, she heard the ridiculing laughter from all directions getting louder.
Such a humiliating memory, but it overlapped with what was in front of her.
Shen Miao's lips slowly hooked up, but one did not know if it was out of bitterness or hatred. Her clear eyes seemed to have a layer of black fog that slowly spread to the bottom of her eyes, making it unfathomable.
Prince Rui who was at the side quietly bent his fingers, paused for a moment, and then quietly released it.
She slightly tilted her head in an action that was almost invisible to everyone.
