Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss

What upset Mu Beixiao the most was that recently that woman, Zhao Suxing, had become a favorite of his mother.

Moreover, Mu Beixiao always felt that since Zhao Suxing appeared, his mother had become increasingly cold towards him.

In the past, his mother always asked him about his food, clothing, housing and transportation three times a day, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable in the slightest. Apart from not giving him any rights, she gave in to him in everything.

But now the Queen Mother has not cared about his food, clothing, housing and transportation for a long time, and she doesn’t even see him anymore. She no longer goes to see him as she used to. Even if he asks to see her, she usually won’t see him, and they can only meet occasionally.

All these changes made Mu Beixiao uneasy. His sensitivity to power made him worry whether his mother was dissatisfied with him and wanted to replace him with her younger brother Mu Beichen to be the emperor.

Mu Beixiao welcomed the autumn hunt in such a state of anxiety.

Autumn hunting is the most important activity for the royal family. It is held every autumn. Only royal relatives and important ministers can participate. Female relatives and concubines in the harem were originally not allowed to participate.

However, since the first empress dowager of Daxia took over as regent, this rule has been abolished. Except for hunting, other female family members can participate, but only the wife can participate, concubines are not allowed to participate.

As the Queen Mother's confidant, Su Xing naturally also participated in the autumn hunt. The atmosphere at the entire hunting scene was very lively.

The losses were too great, and Mu Beixiao, who had been busy cultivating his trusted forces and appeasing Zhao Yanzhen in secret meetings, and Mu Beichen, who was hiding in the farm, had to come to participate in the autumn hunt.

Mu Beixiao was in very bad condition and looked haggard, but Mu Beichen, on the contrary, was full of energy.

He was free on Zhuangzi Island, without any star tormenting him. Except for not being able to see his sweetheart, Zhao Yanzhen, everything else was going well for him. Mu Beichen had a very comfortable time during this period.

For Mu Beichen, it doesn't matter whether his mother, the empress dowager, is in power or his brother, the emperor, is in power.

The Queen Mother and Mu Beixiao both trusted him, so Mu Beichen was the one who had the easiest time in this struggle for power between mother and son.

However, after seeing Su Xing beside the Queen Mother, Mu Beichen's good mood disappeared.

As soon as he saw Su Xing, his whole body stiffened. He was afraid that Su Xing would control him and make him do something embarrassing in such a situation.

For example, the last time he was scratched by Bai and was almost disfigured. Raising his hand, he touched his face which still had some not-so-obvious pink scars, and Mu Beichen was still frightened.

During this period, he consulted several imperial physicians to prescribe medicine for him, in order to preserve his face like a banished immortal and ensure that no scars would be left.

Because he was too nervous, Mu Beichen didn't even notice that after the ceremony, the Queen Mother just asked him to stand up and didn't show any concern for him as before.

Su Xing had been standing beside the Queen Mother, with a cold face, and didn't even look at Mu Beichen. At such an important moment concerning his future career, Su Xing had no intention of paying attention to Mu Beichen.

Mu Beichen secretly glanced at her several times and found that Su Xing really ignored her and he had not been controlled. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this female devil had no intention of tormenting him today.

Soon, the ceremonial officer announced the shooting of the first arrow of the autumn hunt. In the past, the first arrow was always shot by the emperor, but this time, it was shot by the empress dowager. The empress dowager specially wore a riding suit today, and she looked very heroic.

The empress dowager was the daughter of a military general. She had followed her father and brothers in riding horses and shooting arrows since she was young, and had also played hunting a lot. She was not a weak woman who could not even tie a chicken.

She rode on a tall horse, bent her bow and shot an arrow, accurately hitting the running deer and winning applause from the whole audience.

The Queen Mother shot the arrow brilliantly. The ministers and female relatives who were watching cheered loudly. The scene was so lively that no one noticed that Mu Beixiao, who was standing next to him, had a very ugly expression on his face.

The first arrow shot during the autumn hunting season is always shot by the emperor. This arrow is not simply the first arrow, but also represents the emperor's power. In addition, there is a saying in ancient times that one must fight for deer in the Central Plains. In such an occasion as the autumn hunting season, only the emperor can shoot the deer.

In the past, the empress dowager attached great importance to such matters that symbolized the emperor's authority, and would never steal the emperor's limelight, to prevent people from thinking that Mu Beixiao's power was falling into others' hands and despising the emperor.

But today, the Queen Mother mercilessly snatched away this matter that represented the Emperor's authority, without even notifying Mu Beixiao.

Looking at the enthusiastic attitudes of the ministers present, it was obvious that no one thought there was anything wrong with this. This was something that would never have happened in the past.

This meant that the Queen Mother's control over the court was further strengthened, and those ministers who once stood on his side now sided with the Queen Mother.

Mu Beixiao's heart sank completely. Between power and family affection, his mother seemed to have finally chosen power. However, he was still inexperienced and this was definitely bad news.

After the Queen Mother finished shooting the arrow, she handed the bow and arrow to Su Xing, who was riding a horse and also wearing a light purple riding suit.

"Suxing, you come and shoot an arrow too."

In order to make it easier for the Queen Mother to shoot arrows and avoid missing the target, many prey were gathered around before the Queen Mother shot.

Su Xing knew that this was an opportunity given to her by the Queen Mother to show herself. After taking the bow and arrow, Su Xing did not shoot the densely packed prey that were herded together, but looked up at the sky.

In the sky, groups of pigeons frightened by the crowd were flying all over the place, and Su Xing decided to play a big game.

She simply pulled out three arrows, aimed at the flock of pigeons flying in the sky, took aim, and let go. Three long arrows shot out like flying, piercing three rows of pigeons in an instant!

When the pigeons landed, the eunuch in charge of picking up the prey ran over quickly and came back with three strings of pigeons pierced by long arrows. He even stuttered when reporting.

"Empress Dowager, Lord Zhao shot a total of twelve pigeons!"

On the three long arrows that the young eunuch was holding up respectfully, one arrow had four wild pigeons pierced through it. There were three long arrows, and there were exactly twelve pigeons in total.

For Su Xing, this was not difficult, as it only required a strong enough spiritual awareness. But for ordinary people, this was simply a miracle. The people watching around him even lost their voices for a short time.

Even Mu Beixiao and Mu Beichen looked at Su Xing in shock. Both of them had a bad impression of Su Xing.

Because of Zhao Yanzhen, Mu Beixiao felt that Su Xing was a scheming peasant girl with bad character, who was ignorant of crude etiquette and writing, and had a vicious mind.

Even though Su Xing became a female official appointed by the Queen Mother herself, this stereotype did not change for a while. People always felt that Su Xing had used some disgusting means to confuse her mother.

Mu Beichen knew long ago that Su Xing was not an ordinary person and was very powerful, but he did not expect that in addition to those cunning methods, she was full of talent and was also so good at archery, so good that it was amazing.

If Mu Beichen and Mu Beixiao were feeling disbelief, complicated and unexpected, then the ministers present were feeling shocked.

Before, they didn’t understand why the Queen Mother went against the majority opinion and allowed Su Xing, a woman, to join the army.

What if something goes wrong during a war? Both personal safety and the reputation of women may be lost.

Only because Su Xing was not only a female official but also the empress dowager's daughter-in-law, and the empress dowager, as the mother-in-law, showed that she didn't care about these things, could she overcome all objections and finalize this matter.
