Chapter 118: Teasing the Second Prince
Concubine Wu had also heard of Seth's name, and she was disrespectful to the congratulatory gift he gave, so it was impossible for her to stand up and speak.
As the biological mother of the crown prince, Concubine Shu was also afraid that something would go wrong on such a big occasion, so she didn't talk.
Concubine Wu and Concubine Shu were silent, and it was even more impossible for the other concubines and princesses to come forward.
Seth seemed to have expected this outcome, and he laughed: "None of the dignified ladies dared to come out to receive this gift?" ”
His tone was scornful, and his eyes that glanced at the Taihe Hall were even more contemptuous.
The emperor saw it and hoped that someone would stand up and relieve the siege, but unfortunately, no one was willing to stand up.
Qin Zhao's heart was cold when he saw this scene.
In the face of national justice, personal honor and disgrace are small, but why is no one willing to come forward? Even if a princess stands up, she can save a little face for Daqi.
Her fists clenched and loosened, released and clenched, wanting to stand up for the challenge, knowing that her identity was not suitable, and she had already made up her mind that she could not have anything to do with Seth in this life.
She was afraid that Seth's appearance would become a disaster that killed Xiao Ce.
I had never tried a moment when Qin Zhao was so embarrassed.
Just when she was struggling, Seth suddenly pointed to her location: "Little girl, are you willing to accept this congratulatory gift from this prince?" ”
For a while, everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Zhao's body.
Even the emperor looked at it.
It was also at this moment that the emperor discovered that Xiao Ce was not only sitting next to Wu Xiyu, but also another girl.
The chief eunuch beside him was surnamed Zhao, and he whispered to the emperor to solve his doubts: "That is the Qin girl who temporarily lives in the East Palace." ”
He had mentioned this matter to the emperor before, but the emperor didn't take it to heart. In the emperor's opinion, the more women there are in the East Palace, the better, so that they can spread out for the royal family as soon as possible.
"It turned out to be her." The emperor was also a little surprised.
He had heard of Qin Zhao and knew that he was a cousin, but he didn't expect to be so thin. But looking at its sitting posture, it is not bad.
Now it depends on how Qin Zhao responds, don't lose the face of Daqi.
Qin Zhao didn't expect that he would be named by Seth. She was still hesitating, but she had no choice at the moment, so she got up and responded: "The people's daughter has the honor of accepting the gift of His Royal Highness, but it is disrespectful!" ”
She is down-to-earth and generous, talks decently, and does not show any timidity on such a big occasion, which makes everyone look sideways.
Even Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no other reason, Qin Zhao temporarily lives in the East Palace, and this time he sits next to A Ce, if Qin Zhao shows cowardice, he will not only lose Da Qi's face, but also make A Ce, the prince, lose face.
Next, it depends on what kind of gift Seth gives, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing, I just hope that Qin Zhao won't panic when he encounters an accident later.
Not only did Concubine Shu have such worries, but the emperor also had the same worries.
Seth is not a good person, and the gift he gave is said to be some kind of small animal, but he thinks it won't be too simple.
Xiao Ce sat next to Qin Zhao and saw that Qin Zhao was named, although he was worried, he still sat firmly. According to his understanding of this girl, she shouldn't be afraid of ordinary small animals, but she is afraid that Seth will not be easy to come by, and the animals he brings are quite aggressive, so it is not good.
"Don't be afraid." He whispered.
Qin Zhao looked at him when she heard this, her eyes were firm, and she told him with her eyes that she was not afraid at all.
Seth was relieved to see that Qin Zhao should go down, it seems that this little girl is indeed a little courageous, but she calls herself a people's daughter, isn't she the daughter of the East Palace?
Then, Seth walked towards Qin Zhao with an iron cage covered with red cloth, and when he got closer, he saw Qin Zhao's clear eyes.
The calm temperament on her body doesn't seem to match her age. Such a short man, should he not be able to reach the end?
Everyone's attention was on Seth's iron cage, and they wondered what it contained, making Seth trick himself.
Just when everyone was curious, there was a sudden movement in the iron cage, and then an animal flew out of the iron cage, which was worthy of Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao only felt a flower in front of her, and there was a small animal with a short and round head, big eyes, red chestnut circles, and very large pupils.
Qin Zhao, who was closest to the small animal, was not frightened, but the concubines and several princesses who were watching exclaimed.
After Qin Zhao saw the whole picture of the small animal, he looked at Seth and asked, "Is this little cutie that His Royal Highness gave to the people's daughter?" ”
Seth's deep eyes narrowed slightly, trying to find traces of fear on Qin Zhao's face, but it was in vain.
Isn't it said that Daqi women are as timid as mice, especially the nobles in the palace, why is this little girl so calm when she sees this thing?
"Do you know what this is?" Seth pursed his lips indifferently.
"This is supposed to be the legendary Flying Fox. The folk girl is brave, and she also wants to ask His Royal Highness, do you know that the flying fox has another name? Qin Zhao stepped forward and picked up the flying fox.
When Seth saw this scene, he was sure that Qin Zhao was indeed not afraid of this thing.
He only knew that this was a flying fox, and it was impossible for a short-sighted Daqi woman to know what kind of species it was, but when she encountered this strange thing in front of her, she dared to ask him in turn.
"Is the Second Highness unable to answer, or is he unwilling to answer the question of the people's daughter?" Seeing that Seth was silent, Qin Zhao probably guessed that Seth didn't know that Flying Fox had another alias.
Seth wants to use the flying fox to slap Daqi in the face, but he hasn't figured out all the details of the flying fox, and that's the real joke.
"This prince doesn't need to know its alias." Seth replied proudly.
"According to the people's daughter, the Second Highness doesn't know that it has another name, right?" Qin Zhao has always been unforgiving, this is the case in the face of Xiao Ce, how can he be an exception in the face of Seth?
Seth looked Qin Zhao up and down for a moment before saying, "This prince doesn't need to know!" ”
"That's what's wrong with the Second Highness. Since it is a gift, it is natural to have sincerity, which can only show that His Royal Highness has no sincerity in giving this gift. However, my Great Qi is a big country, and my little woman naturally has the capacity to accommodate people, so I am not afraid to kindly tell His Royal Highness that the flying fox has another name - the cold bird. Does Your Highness know that the cold trumpet bird is a flying bird? Qin Zhao gave Seth a trap without a trace.
Seth used this unpopular method to humiliate Daqi's female dependents and humiliate Daqi, and she represented Daqi's female compatriots today and gave him a small gift.
"Of course His Highness knows!" Seth replied quickly.
But when he saw Qin Zhao's weird smile, he suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, Qin Zhao's next sentence made him want to regret his mistake.
"I'm sorry, the girl just made a mistake. Although the name of the cold horn bird has the word 'bird', it is not a flying bird, it is a type of rodent, and it is not in the same family as birds. ”
