The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

However, for Shen Qinglan, she doesn't care what they do.

Although the queen was talking to Zhaoyang and the others, she also paid attention to Shen Qinglan from time to time.

Seeing Shen Qinglan sitting there upright from beginning to end, with a calm face and no sign of anger or impatience, he was a little surprised.

This Princess Zhan is indeed different from ordinary people.

Even Princess Zhaoyang felt very bored at this time, and couldn't help but look at Shen Qinglan and asked:

"Why aren't you talking, Princess Zhan? Aren't you usually very articulate? Are you not talking today because you feel you are vulgar and therefore don't dare to speak?"

Shen Qinglan raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Zhaoyang. Her expression was calm, neither angry nor afraid. She only said in a gentle voice:

"Princess Zhaoyang, as a princess, doesn't think she is vulgar. How can I belittle myself when I am Princess Jiashun, who was personally conferred by His Majesty?"

Shen Qinglan's words choked Princess Zhaoyang.

If Princess Zhaoyang dares to say anything again, wouldn't that be questioning the emperor?

After being humiliated, Princess Zhaoyang glared at Shen Qinglan angrily, snorted, and then hugged the Queen's arm, saying coquettishly:

"Empress! You saw it too! She just likes to bully Zhaoyang! She's so mean! How can you let her marry Brother Ting? She's not worthy of Brother Ting at all!"

The Queen sighed helplessly and was very troubled by Princess Zhaoyang.

This Princess Zhaoyang has been completely spoiled by Emperor Jingren. She dares to say anything.

Now that the matter is done, what's the point of talking about whether it's worthy or not?

The Queen immediately spoke, pretending to be angry and yelled at Zhaoyang:

"Nonsense, Princess Jiashun was personally appointed by His Majesty, how could she not be worthy of Prince Zhan?"

Zhaoyang was reprimanded, but he was not afraid. Instead, he rolled his eyes and said:

"What the Queen said makes sense, but Zhaoyang is still unwilling to accept it. How about this, let Zhaoyang compete with her?"

"Compare?"

"If she wins, Zhaoyang will be convinced and will never trouble her again, nor will he pester Brother Ting again. If she loses, then let me marry Brother Ting on her behalf?"

As soon as these words came out, the Queen frowned. Just as she realized that these words were really nonsense, she heard the Eighth Prince's wife beside her start to persuade her:

"I heard that Princess Zhan is well-known for her talent, and her maternal family is a prominent family like the Qinghe Cui family. I think no matter what the competition is, it will not bring disgrace to the Qinghe Cui family. Besides..."

"If we don't let Princess Zhaoyang give up, I'm afraid she will continue to cause trouble for Jiashun in the future. Isn't that annoying? Princess Jiashun, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Princess Zhaoyang nodded heavily and said threateningly:

"Right, right, right! If you don't compete with me, it proves that you are not as good as this princess! And your Qinghe Cui family is not as good as this princess!"

Shen Qinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept from Princess Zhaoyang to the Eighth Prince's wife.

The Eighth Prince's wife sat calmly on the side. Seeing Shen Qinglan looking at her, she smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Shen Qinglan chuckled and asked directly: "Comparison of what?"

"You agreed?" Princess Zhaoyang stood up with some joy and looked at Shen Qinglan with interest.

"If the princess doesn't want to compete anymore, that's fine..."

"Compete! Let's compete in archery! Since you are going to marry Brother Ting, then poetry, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting are not worthy of Brother Ting at all. After all, Brother Ting is the God of War. How can Princess Zhan be a weak and helpless waste? Right?"

Princess Zhaoyang said this and looked at Shen Qinglan provocatively.

Shen Qinglan nodded, did not refuse, just looked at the queen and asked:

"Since the content of the competition was proposed by Princess Zhaoyang, shouldn't Jiashun decide the format?"

The Queen looked at Shen Qinglan, then looked at Princess Zhaoyang who was eager to try, and sighed helplessly:

"That's natural."

At this moment, the queen was like a kind elder, watching the children making trouble below.

But Shen Qinglan knew that the Queen was actually happy to see it happen.

After all, the death of Wang Heng and the destruction of the Wang family were a huge loss for the queen.

But the queen was able to hold back and never attacked the prince's palace, which shows that the other party has deep thoughts.

Now he just wanted to give him a small punishment and a stern warning, Shen Qinglan naturally understood.

After getting the Queen's approval, Shen Qinglan smiled and his eyes fell on the Eighth Prince's wife.

For some reason, the Eighth Prince's wife felt her heart skip a beat and the hairs on her body stood up when Shen Qinglan stared at her like that.

Shen Qinglan stood up and said to the Eighth Prince's wife, "Since we are going to compete in archery, ordinary targets are a bit boring..."

When Princess Zhaoyang heard this, she became playful and immediately nodded in agreement:

"You're right! Then use a human target! It can also test your courage!"

It would be best if someone was shot dead, then Shen Qinglan's reputation would be completely ruined! Princess Zhaoyang thought so.

Shen Qinglan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up an apple beside him, walked to the Eighth Prince's wife, and stuffed the apple into her hand.

Then Shen Qinglan smiled at the Eighth Prince's wife as warm as the sun in March, and said softly:

"The Eighth Prince's Consort just proposed this, so naturally I have to join in. So would you mind if you could hold this apple and act as a target?"

The Eighth Prince's wife shuddered with fear and tried to shake off Shen Qinglan's hand that was holding her wrist.

However, Shen Qinglan's hand was tightly clenched, and the Eighth Prince's wife couldn't shake it off at all. She could only take a deep breath and maintain a decent smile and said:

"Princess Jiashun, are you kidding me?"

"Wasn't it the Eighth Prince's wife who made the joke first?"

Shen Qinglan's smile did not diminish, and his gaze was deeply fixed on the Eighth Prince's wife.

Since the Eighth Prince's wife wants to use Qinghe Cui's reputation as an excuse, she should know the consequences.

If it was only Princess Zhaoyang who provoked Shen Qinglan just now, Shen Qinglan would not have paid any attention to her at all.

After all, Princess Zhaoyang has never seemed to have much brains and can't cause any big waves.

But the Eighth Prince's wife insisted on getting involved and moved her maternal grandfather's house out as well, forcing him not to retreat. Otherwise, he would be intimidating Zhaoyang and bringing shame to the Qinghe Cui family.

"This prince's wife..."

The Eighth Prince's wife turned pale. She knew that Shen Qinglan was seeking revenge. She immediately looked at the Queen for help.

Shen Qinglan took a step forward to block the Eighth Prince's wife's sight, and looked at Princess Zhaoyang meaningfully and said:

"Princess, it's not that I don't want to compete with you, but if the Eighth Prince's wife won't cooperate, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Why don't we just forget it?"

When Princess Zhaoyang heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "How can this be possible? Sister Shuxian! Come on, come on! Don't be afraid! My archery skills are very accurate and I can't hurt you! If you don't agree, she will have an excuse not to compete!"

The Eighth Prince's wife opened her mouth, feeling as if she was shooting herself in the foot.

but……

The Eighth Prince's wife thought about it and felt that what Princess Zhaoyang said made sense.

Shen Qinglan made such a fuss, isn't it because he's afraid of losing the competition?

Maybe she couldn't even pull the bowstring. Besides, she was the Eighth Prince's consort. Would Shen Qinglan really dare to hurt her?
