Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 38 The Familiar Embrace

As soon as the emperor heard that it was a marriage, he immediately regained his energy and relaxed his expression. He asked with great interest, "Is there someone else for the eldest prince?"

Originally, he was just asking casually, but he never thought that the eldest prince would actually nod his head. He pointed to the seat and said loudly: "The person chosen by this prince is her!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger one after another, they were all taken aback, because the person he was pointing at was Concubine Jing who was quite popular just now.

The emperor was also stunned, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, and said in a surprised tone: "Did you make a mistake?"

The eldest prince shook his head and said resolutely: "It's her. This prince fell in love with her at first sight when he first came to the capital. He also hoped that the emperor would bestow her on this prince so that the two countries can achieve good relations."

A Taoist civil official immediately scolded: "Nonsense! How can one daughter marry two husbands? Princess Jing is already King Jing's wife, how can I give you my wife?"

The eldest prince snorted coldly: "This prince is the eldest son of Khan, and he will inherit Khitan in the future. In terms of power and status, how can he not compare to your Prince Jing?"

"In our Khitan, only the strong are qualified to have a beauty! Even the wife of the opponent, as long as he wins the opponent, he can also embrace a beauty!"

"Do you want to fight with my son again?" The emperor gradually realized that it seemed that Princess Jing was fake, and that she wanted to fight Xiao Chen was real.

The eldest prince was about to nod his head, when Xiao Chen stood up abruptly and said decisively: "I disagree! Ruo'er is my king's wife, not a commodity for trading."

"Is Lord Jing afraid of losing to this prince?"

The eldest prince wanted to provoke him with words, but Xiao Chen refused to accept this tactic, and said in a cold voice: "If you want to fight, you can fight, but Ruo'er can't be used for betting!"

The eldest prince ignored him, looked directly at the emperor, and asked forcefully: "Is Xiao Guo's peace talks only so little sincerity? Even the important event of the peace talks between the two countries is being pushed back and blocked? If that's the case, it doesn't matter if we don't talk about the peace talks!"

Knowing that the other party was making trouble for no reason and deliberately making things difficult, the officials of the Xiao Kingdom dared not speak out. Although the two countries fought fiercely for seven years and ended with the Xiao Kingdom's victory, in these seven years, the people in the country were struggling and complained.

If the two countries go to war again, even if Khitan is flattened, they will not be far from disintegration, not to mention there are many wolves, tigers and leopards in the south and east, staring at them.

This battle cannot be fought!This treaty must be signed!

It's just that sending the princess of a country to get married will ruin their faces!Furthermore, King Jing has made countless contributions to the country through life and death, and now sending his wife out, wouldn't it be chilling?

At the juncture of these two dilemmas, the second prince who had been watching the play suddenly spoke out: "Father, my son has a suggestion."

He looked around and smiled, and said slowly: "After all, the seventh brother had a fight with the Khitan warriors, and his physical strength was exhausted. Presumably the eldest prince doesn't want to take advantage of others' danger and win without force, so why not gamble on the subsequent hunting, hunting The winner with the most and the best quality will be able to embrace the beauty."

"Look, how about this?"

The emperor thought about it for a while, this hunting is not done by two people, the process is more complicated, if it doesn't work, he can do it secretly...

Thinking of this, the emperor nodded slightly: "Second emperor's proposal is feasible, I wonder what the eldest prince thinks?"

Hunting is the strong point of their grassland people. How could he be afraid in this regard? The eldest prince immediately agreed: "Yes, no problem!"

Things have been like this, and there is no room for Xiao Chen to refuse any more, he looked at Shen Ruo, and gave her a reassuring look: "I will not lose."

However, Shen Ruo stood up by himself, with a dignified demeanor and firm eyes, but neither humble nor overbearing said: "Your Majesty, can I also participate in this hunting?"

"What did you say?" The emperor lost his voice in surprise, and everyone else was also dumbfounded in surprise.

Shen Cheng hurriedly scolded: "You woman, what do you know, back down quickly, so as not to disturb Sheng Jia!"

Shen Ruo still stood upright, refusing to back down: "This matter is related to me, why can't I participate? Or is it because the men present are worried that they will lose to me as a woman?"

Shen Kuo heard her utter wild words, worried that she would anger the emperor and affect his own black hat, and immediately wanted to curse, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Hey! Shen Aiqing doesn't need to be excited, you should be proud of this, you gave birth to a heroine who is not inferior to a man!"

The emperor was aroused by Shen Ruo's performance, and nodded with a loud smile: "Okay, I will follow you and allow you to participate in this hunting!"

"It's noon now, everyone has a meal and rest first, and the hunt will officially begin in an hour!"

The emperor issued an order, and everyone naturally dared not disobey. They all went back to their respective camps to rest and wait for the hunting competition in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Shen Ruo noticed a fierce gaze, she turned around sharply, but saw a graceful figure, it was Shen Bingxin who came with Prime Minister Shen.

She frowned, having a bad premonition, but was interrupted by the people around her: "What's wrong?"

She looked at Xiao Chen and shook her head: "It's okay."

Xiao Chen thought about it for a while, but still worriedly told him: "Let's go in a while, you follow me, don't run around, there are many beasts in this forest, and there are dangers everywhere, you don't know anything when you go for the first time, it's very difficult It's easy to get into trouble, you know?"

"You..." Xiao Chen wanted to say that she was too reckless this time, but he didn't want to quarrel with her, so he held back the words.

Shen Ruo glanced at him, not paying attention to his worry, Xiao Chen became even more anxious.

An hour passed quickly, and Xiao Chen asked the groom to pick out a docile bay red mare for Shen Ruo.

What people didn't expect was that before the hunt started, Shen Ruo was stumped before the starting line. She forgot that she couldn't ride a horse!
Someone noticed that she was still asking Lord Jing to teach her how to mount a horse before she went into battle, and they couldn't help talking in a low voice: "This Princess Jing is really acting out of line. She scolded Lord Jing in front of everyone before, and now she has to participate in hunting. This is what a woman should do." matter?"

When these voices reached Shen Xiang's ears, he felt that they were very harsh, and he looked at Shen Ruo with even more disgust.

But Shen Bingxin, who was sitting next to Shen Xiang, couldn't help showing a somewhat smug smile, her eyes fell on the horse under Shen Ruo, and a ruthless light flashed.

Here, although Shen Ruo had never ridden a horse before, she was very quick at it. After Xiao Chen taught her a few tricks, she immediately and easily controlled the claret horse under her.

A moment later, with the sound of beating drums and the sound of loud and clear horns, ten thousand horses galloped together, raising a cloud of thick dust, which made the spectators on the high platform almost unable to see the situation in front of them clearly.

Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Hey! It's dangerous! Someone fell down!" "Who is it!" "That dress should be a woman!"

He was riding well, when suddenly the steed under him sprained his left foot, and he and the horse fell out together. There were running horses all around, if they fell to the ground, they might be trampled into a pulp.

Danger strikes, but Shen Ruo is still very clear-headed thinking about the way to save himself. If it really doesn't work, he can only enter the space——

At this moment, a hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into a familiar embrace!
