Chapter 87: The Empress's Thoughts
Soon the heavier workpiece was moved up, and Helian Chen took it directly and easily in his hand.
Then in front of everyone, he retreated to a hundred and fifty meters away, and the farther he went, the heavier the weight of the bow and arrow, so that he could shoot a little farther, and the same drew the bow required more arm strength.
Helian Chen turned his head to look at Chu Xiaoxiang, with a hint of a smile on his face, Chu Xiaoxiang instantly understood what he meant, stood up and took his handkerchief, and then blindfolded him himself.
When the people around saw such a situation, they couldn't help but gasp, feeling that Helian Chen was really a little too arrogant, even the strongest generals didn't dare to make such a move, and it was basically impossible to shoot a willow leaf while standing so far away blindfolded.
"The princess doesn't seem to be afraid of losing at all, and it's hard to think that she can win the game in this way, but it's no wonder that if she can't shoot blindfolded, it's easy to shirk because it's too difficult."
"This princess will never shirk anything, since you don't believe it, then keep your eyes open and take a good look, and you will naturally know later."
After Chu Xiaoxiang finished speaking, he didn't continue to say more, Feng An also stood there with bated breath, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves, and Helian Chen stood in place.
Feel the wind blowing gently in your ears, and make a prediction first, after all, the bow and arrow will be affected by the wind.
But in front of everyone, he pulled the heavy bow away, like a full moon, and people couldn't help but gasp, I didn't expect his medical records to be so powerful, maybe he really had some ability.
However, most people still won't believe that he can shoot the willow leaves so far away.
Helian Chen laughed first and then let go of his hand, the arrow in his hand was like a meteor as quickly as a meteor, and the servant not far away couldn't help but see that the arrow was staring at Liu Ye, and his eyes were bigger.
"Shot!"
Feng An couldn't believe it after hearing this, walked over quickly, and saw that there was indeed a willow leaf on the target, which was inserted into it by an arrow, without the slightest appearance of being destroyed, keeping the willow leaf intact, except for a small hole in the middle.
In this case, it must be fast enough and in the center of the willow leaf, otherwise the slightest deviation will cause the willow leaf to break.
"Huh!"
Helian Chen untied his veil and looked at the results not far away, but he was not complacent because of this incident, but his tone revealed a trace of calm.
"Looks like my hands aren't rusty yet."
The people around couldn't help but be silent when they saw this situation, this time they finally saw the true ability of this colt, although he is a man, but I have to say, it is much stronger than many people.
"Second princess, it seems that you are quite satisfied with this answer, you keep saying that you look down on men, but in the end you lose to men, this is really a shameful thing."
Feng An's face was ugly, and then he looked at Chu Xiaoxiang's eyes with a hint of mockery.
"Only you, Ji Guo, will women willingly succumb to men."
Chu Xiaoxiang shook his head, his voice was not loud or small, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear what he was talking about.
"No one is born to be born from another person, men can't tame women, women can't be happy with men, only equality is the fairest."
The eyes of the people around him looked at his girlfriend a little strangely, they didn't expect her to be able to say such a thing, such a remark sounded a little rebellious to them, even the people of the empire would not agree with his statement, this kind of prejudice was brought out from the bones, and since birth, they have been constantly instilled with this kind of thinking, so it is difficult for Chu Xiaoxiang's words or two to change their minds.
"I never think that women are inferior to men, nor do I think that men are inferior to women, this world is only divided into those who dare to do it and those who dare not do it."
Feng An didn't say anything more after hearing this, but just looked at her coldly.
The official next to him saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and hurriedly stood up to play a round.
"The concubine does have the ability, and the princess is simply a talented woman, no wonder the princess can sing with the concubine."
Feng An also took this opportunity to return to his seat, because of this incident, no one dared to make trouble in the future, and no one dared to despise Helian Chen.
The empress had already gotten the news, and she fell into contemplation for a while, and when she came back, she happily praised Helian Chen again and again.
After the banquet was over, Chu Xiaoxiang was originally going to go back with Helian Chen, but he didn't expect the empress's personal servant to suddenly come over and say that the empress had summoned her, and she had important matters to discuss with the princess in detail.
The two of them arrived at the imperial study, and then bowed slightly, and the empress hurriedly asked the two of them to get up, and there was a trace of emotion in her tone.
"Whenever I see the horse so young and promising, it makes me think of the queen, I grew up with the queen since childhood, and the feelings of my youth are nothing compared to anything, but many things I didn't expect later, at that time, the civil strife in Vietnam, the queen was to protect me, and finally died on the battlefield."
Speaking of this, the expression on his face was a little emotional, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he was trying to remember someone, which made people couldn't help but be moved, but Chu Xiaoxiang felt a little strange, why did the empress tell them so much? This kind of intimate matter is generally not known to an outsider, and it also allows outsiders to see her so vulnerable.
"I thought of a lot of things, and I felt a little emotional for a while, the queen had a child with me, but unfortunately she didn't survive in the end, your horse is very similar to my queen."
"The deceased is gone, and the living can only remember it well, but they still have to live their own lives, and Her Majesty the Empress doesn't have to be so sad."
Chu Xiaoxiang pretended to persuade a few words, he was really not interested in listening to him continue to tell those past stories, and he wanted to know what his purpose was today.
"But Her Majesty summoned me just so that I could tell such a touching story with the colt!"
The Empress chuckled softly, and when she spoke again, there was a hint of seriousness in her tone.
"I feel that whenever I see your colt, it's like seeing a queen, and I want to ask you for someone."
When Chu Xiaoxiang heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then frowned, listening to the meaning of this, he had a bad premonition.
After saying so many words as foreshadowing, could it be that she wanted to ask her to ask for Helian Chen, and the thought of this made her involuntarily clench her hands.
"Her Majesty doesn't mean to ask me for a horse!"
"Yes!"
The empress made no secret of it, and directly stated her purpose, Chu Xiaoxiang narrowed her eyes dangerously, if it wasn't for the wrong time, it is estimated that she would directly beat the other party up, such an old person, even thinking about this kind of thought, obviously they are already at the age of being elders, and their children are already as old as them, and they are still under the banner of remembrance, but they actually have shameless thoughts.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean, he is the princess's concubine!"
"He is your concubine, but our two countries have always been friendly, if you are willing to give people to me, we can continue to maintain this friendly relationship, not only that, you can also get a promise from me, no matter what kind of danger your Ji country encounters, I am willing to help."
The empress felt that the conditions he proposed were rich enough, and that smart people would know what kind of choice was right, how could a man be comparable to a country, how could he be compared to an empress's promise.
When Chu Xiaoxiang heard this, he almost laughed angrily, feeling that the other party was really a little brazen to be able to say such things in front of so many people.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to this condition."
Chu Xiaoxiang took two steps forward slightly, with a hint of firmness in his tone.
"This princess's horse is not an item, not to mention that our Ji Kingdom does not need to sacrifice a person to protect the entire country, don't say that I don't agree with these things, even if my imperial brother knows about it, he will definitely not agree."
Regardless of the period, sacrificing the happiness of the prince and princess and praying for peace between the two countries is a foolish thing to do, and it is also a particularly cowardly idea.
One person can't save a country, even if it's cloudy, it's just a waste, and only when you become stronger can you stop being beaten.
The empress laughed slightly, and turned her head again to look at Helian Chen.
"The princess doesn't have to be in a hurry to refuse, after all, this matter still needs to ask the colt about the meaning, if the colt wants to stay, this kind of thing is still undemanding."
After speaking, he looked at Helian Chen's eyes, with a slight bewitchment.
"As long as you are willing to stay, you can immediately become my queen, and the harem is completely up to you."
Helian Chen twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling that this kind of thing was really a bit disgusting.
"Thank you for the queen's love, but I have always been a cautious person, even if the princess looks at others outside, I can't stand it, let alone three palaces and six courtyards like the empress."
"If you're willing to stay, I can dismiss the people in the harem for you."
This kind of favor is probably flattered to anyone else, but Helian Chen feels a little disgusting, especially when he sees the greed in the other party's eyes.
"There is only one princess in my heart, and I can't tolerate a second person, not to mention that I am the concubine of Ji Guo, if Her Majesty the Empress can give this favor to others, I think that person will definitely be flattered."
After hearing this, the empress's face immediately became a little unsightly, she didn't expect to be rejected so neatly, she originally thought that she would use power and money to tempt, and the other party would definitely agree.
At this time, the empress did not say anything more, and after a long while, she waved her hand.
"You don't have to give me an answer to this matter first, you can always think about it before you leave, and there is a chance to change your mind at any time."
Chu Xiaoxiang pulled Helian Chen and turned around and was about to leave, when the empress's voice came from behind him.
"The current Shikoku is not peaceful!"
