459 Forced to Compete (3)
When Shen Yue saw this, a trace of schadenfreude flashed across her eyes. She really wanted Shen Miao to be sent to the State of Qin. It would be best if Shen Miao could marry an old man and be tortured to death in a foreign country.
Princess Ming An did not expect Shen Xin to reject her so bluntly. A trace of displeasure immediately appeared on her face.
She said, “How can you put it that way? Everyone knows that Miss Shen is talented and virtuous. Why? Miss Shen, are you looking down on me and unwilling to greet me?”
With the accusation of being rude thrown at her, Shen Miao couldn’t avoid it anymore even if she wanted to. She stood up and bowed to Princess Ming An. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
As she stood up, everyone in the hall fixed their gazes at Shen Miao.
Two years was enough to change too many things, including the impression of Shen Miao being a fool in people’s minds. Because she had been away for too long, she was gradually forgotten. Looking at the girl in front of them, everyone felt that she was like a different person from the person in their memory. The light purple dress made her skin look translucent. After staying in a place like Spring City for two years, the sand and wind did not roughen her up at all. Instead, she gave off a noble aura that was even more obvious. Her facial features were as delicate as a painting, making people want to linger their eyes on her. Her every move was dignified, gentle, and graceful.
Even the empress beside the emperor did not seem to have such an unique aura.
Princess Ming An frowned. She did not expect Shen Miao to be so good-looking and elegant. She had long heard that Shen Miao was an idiot, so she wanted to use Shen Miao to embarrass the Shen family, but she ended up shooting herself in the foot.
However, the reason why Princess Ming An could afford to always be arrogant was because she was Princess Ming An. She immediately raised her eyebrows and sized up Shen Miao like she was an item. She said, “Miss Shen is indeed an outstanding beauty. No wonder General Shen wants to hide you like you are a treasure. I wonder which family will be lucky enough to marry you in the future.”
Shen Xin glared at Prince Ming An. Although he had to consider her identity, he could not tolerate his daughter being spoken to like this in public. Just as he was about to speak, Princess Ming An changed the topic. “Miss Shen, I think you’re also talented, right?”
As soon as she said that, everyone in the hall looked excited. Yi Peilan and the others covered their mouths to fight back the urge to laugh.
Everyone knew very well what talent Shen Miao had. In the past two years, she had stayed in Spring City, a place in the middle of nowhere. What talents could she learn over there?
Shen Miao lowered her eyes slightly. “Princess, you flatter me. I’m not as talented as you.”
“Miss Shen, there’s no need to be humble.” Princess Ming An smiled innocently. “Speaking of which, when I was in the State of Qin, I heard that a few years ago, Miss Shen competed with someone and got first place in archery. When I heard that, I was extremely curious. Now that I see Miss Shen again, I remember this old story.”
Shen Miao lowered her head and did not speak. Luo Xueyan and Shen Qiu were anxious. They could tell that Princess Ming An was deliberately picking a fight with Shen Miao.
With Princess Ming An mentioning it, everyone in the hall recalled the competition between Shen Miao and Cai Lin in the archery test. Shen Miao was able to render Cai Lin speechless and convinced with three arrows. It was also from that time onward that people started to see Shen Miao through different lenses.
