Chapter 450 Retaliation
I still remember that last year, at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, Feng Hongye kept telling them that His Royal Highness would win.
This year, unexpectedly, Zhou Ming also took the initiative to ask if he was worried about not winning.
Perhaps knowing what Qiao Gu was thinking, Zhou Ming also laughed, "Speaking of which, I was quite angry that day. A dragon boat competition is all about cooperation. How can you know who will win without watching the competition?"
Military generals never like guessing. What's terrible is that if a donkey is a horse, it has to be pulled out.
This year, Shen Qiuhe also played, and he and Qiao Wenqing were on the same team. Even though they were both from the Prince's faction, the Prince probably liked to challenge himself, and he didn't team up with them, so he insisted on winning or losing.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Ming lowered his voice and said, "This year, Master Feng and Master Qiao and Master Chu are separated. He and the prince are in the same team."
Zhou Ming's attitude was obvious. She claimed to be Qiao Wenzhi's natal family, so she naturally wanted to pay more attention to Feng Zhaoan. In short, she just didn't want him to have an easy time.
So now, Zhou Ming and Qiao Gu have the same intention, hoping that Shen Qiuhe and Qiao Wenqing will win.
As for the prince, I can only say that he is to blame for being implicated by Feng Zhaoan.
After Zhou Ming finished speaking, she was still chanting the Buddha's name in a serious manner, and also made wishes like a god in the name of the Crown Princess.
Look, this revenge is so well-organized.
The two murmured for a few words, and then Zhou Ming laughed dryly, "This year, women will also compete, and I will join you."
As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, Qiao Guxin frowned. Why didn't anyone tell her about this?
No wonder Zhou Ming would come to look for her. Logically speaking, Zhou Ming likes to make trouble, but the general rules must be taken into account, and the relationship is because of this.
In fact, it’s no wonder that Zhou Ming was careful, because no one could get along with him. The girls on the civil servants’ side were not willing to show their faces, and most of them were on the military generals’ side.
He became a member of the royal family and competed with military generals. Zhou Ming was also afraid that Qiao Guxin was so pedantic, so he only informed Qiao Guxin at the end.
Afraid that Qiao would be upset, Zhou Ming went on to say, "I told my mother that if I can do this well and win the first prize, Wen Zhi will be my lucky winner."
Allowing a amiable girl to enter the palace to serve the Crown Princess cannot be done by just clapping her head and agreeing. Even the Queen cannot be so casual, so she has to show her face.
It’s about Qiao Wenzhi, what else can Qiao Guxin say?
Just bite the bullet and do it!
Seeing Qiao Guxin nodding, Zhou Ming smiled and patted Qiao Guxin on the shoulder, "Justice."
Then he nodded to the people below, and asked the palace servants to mention it to the women. He said that after the men finished competing, the women would also compete. If you wanted to go, just tell the palace servants at the back, and everyone would be surprised. , everyone is ready.
After hearing what this person said, Qiao Guxin suddenly understood that Zhou Ming had not contacted him in advance at all and was simply arresting him on the spot.
What a royal general, it’s all nonsense!
Logically speaking, it was the first time for Zhou Ming to help the queen organize such a large banquet, so he naturally took it seriously. It was only business to contact the contestants in advance, so Qiao Guxin didn't think much about it.
But who knew that Zhou Ming would make such a move.
You know, this is a casual banquet, you don't have to wear imperial robes, women can forget about it, and the girls naturally have to compete with each other.
Look at the many clothes wearing big skirts. Just these people, you can climb their necks or climb their feet.
When Qiao Guxin turned to look at Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming had already returned to his seat and blinked at Qiao Guxin with a bit of cunning.
Qiao Guxin sighed helplessly, Zhou Ming was really brave. But the person selected like this was almost the same.
These people, dressed in bright and luxurious clothes, are here to find their husbands. They will pay attention to their appearance even when they are on the field. For things like dragon boat racing, especially during the final sprint, they will be so tired that they sweat profusely. Who can use their strength if they care about their appearance? ?
When girls like this get up, they are always the ones holding them back.
In this way, you can swipe a group of people naturally, and you won't have to worry about the exchange of favors or anything like that.
Moreover, this kind of thing is only said to be the impromptu decision of the Crown Princess. What can others say?
After thinking about this, Qiao Guxin understood that Zhou Ming was looking for him alone because he was afraid that Qiao Guxin would not take the initiative to participate.
Look at this shrewd look. He was born in the palace and did not fight for anything. For a moment, Qiao Gu thought that if Zhou Ming were to fight for He Liangdi, he might not be her opponent.
Now that the business is done, the emperor and empress are here.
At the banquet, the emperor was always gentle. He glanced around and finally landed on Shen Qiuhe, who had already changed into a short shirt. "Is Shen Qing's arm healed?"
It's rare to deliberately tease Shen Qiuhe.
Shen Qiuhe looked at Qiao Guxin and chuckled, "With the blessing of the Holy One, I will be fine."
After hearing this, the emperor looked at Qiao Wenqing again, "I heard that you are on the same team as Shen Qing?"
Qiao Wenqing quickly stood up and agreed.
The emperor smiled and shook his head, "What else is there to see? Separate, separate."
Suddenly he laughed and looked at Mr. Chu, "Your young man, I remember that he has a good relationship with Qiao Zhuangyuan, so we have to compare them separately, so that's something to watch."
Master Chu quickly stood up and responded.
The emperor suddenly wanted to change his position, so Zhou Ming summoned his subordinates to send a message to the prince.
It was already this time, and Zhou Ming couldn't go there, so he had to ask the prince to make arrangements for him.
After finishing her instructions, she looked back at He Liangdi who was placed behind her and said, "You can't see clearly from behind, so come and sit in front."
"Thank you, empress." He Liangdi responded and stepped forward.
Because Zhou Ming was worried about the detachment and was afraid that the man would have any objections, he recruited his subordinates to send messages to the prince.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Ming did not forget He Liangdi, "Does Liangdi have any good ideas?"
He Liangdi was a little distracted just now, and Zhou Ming's voice was suppressed when he was giving instructions to the people below, so she didn't hear clearly what Zhou Ming was saying. She just agreed casually, "Your Majesty's thoughts are thorough enough."
"Okay, then this is what I have arranged." After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he asked someone to report it to the queen.
Since these people who are close to each other were separated by the emperor's name, it is not good to just divide them. All the people who are close to each other should be separated.
It would be more fair to regroup.
Of course, this requires someone to have the ability to control the field, and this pressure will be placed on the prince.
However, this arrangement reduces complaints, but it also allows the prince to establish his authority. The competition is a competition, and the monarch and his ministers are monarchs and ministers. Everyone is separated today. If anyone has an opinion, he will have trouble with the prince.
The queen looked at Zhou Ming and nodded approvingly, but when her eyes touched He Liangdi, the queen couldn't help but frown, with a hint of displeasure flashing across her face.
Zhou Ming patted He Liangdi's hand without leaving a trace, "Don't take it personally, you are living with His Highness. His Highness, I must hope that you can witness his prowess."
From what he said, it was completely impossible to tell that they were all princes.
Zhou Ming thought that when the prince was getting dressed just now, he was reluctant to separate from He Liangdi. She probably didn't want He Liangdi to sit so far away, so she took the initiative to call him to the front.
