Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 100 Competition
Qiu Heng waited for a while before being led in by Zheng Yu to meet Miss Qiu.

At first glance, Miss Qiu looked even brighter than before, but if you looked closely you could see traces of heavy makeup.

Didn’t you sleep well?

Qiu Heng guessed and saluted calmly: "Sister."

Lady Qiu stared at the pretty young girl for a moment before forcing out a smile: "Sixth sister is here."

"Yes, come and accompany my sister."

"sit down."

Qiu Heng sat obediently on the small stool that Zheng Yu brought, which made Zheng Yu couldn't help but look at her again.

Miss Qiu Liu is really a person you can’t judge by appearance. Looking at her obedient appearance now, who could have imagined her heroic deeds yesterday.

There was a rumor that Miss Qiu Liu had pulled out all the hair of the fourth young master of Marquis Xiping's Mansion. He had always thought it was an exaggeration, but it turned out that he was just too narrow-minded.

"You all go down, I want to have a private talk with Sixth Sister."

The palace maids, including Zheng Yu, retreated.

Lady Qiu did not speak immediately, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Qiu Heng lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The purpose of coming to Lady Qiu was to deal with Concubine Yu's words, and also to have more opportunities to interact with Emperor Jingping and Concubine Yu.

A tyrant emperor and a wicked concubine, how will she behave in the future? We need to wait and see.

And there is Xue Quan.

As a eunuch who was one of the Five Thieves and who offered the "magic medicine" that caused Emperor Jingping to lose his life, he also had to find an opportunity to find out.

It is much more convenient here than in Beijing.

"It was my fault that I left my sixth sister alone in the shed yesterday," said Lady Qiu.

The girl in front of her was so young, yet she couldn't see through her.

She thought she was well-behaved, but she turned out to be fearless. She thought she was quick-witted, but she could be calm and quiet.

Could this elusiveness be because she is smarter than she thinks?
Lady Qiu's fingers tightened around the teacup unconsciously, but she couldn't help but ask, "How did Sixth Sister get back? Was there anything interesting?"

Qiu Heng met Lady Qiu's deep gaze and asked, "Sister, are you curious about what's happening outside the palace?"

Lady Qiu's heart skipped a beat, but she suppressed her guilty conscience and laughed at herself: "Living in the deep palace for a long time, there is almost no change when I open my eyes or close them, so naturally I have some interest in things outside the palace."

"It was the Imperial Envoy, Lord Xue, who sent me back."

Lady Qiu was startled.

Imperial Envoy?
"Yes, we are friends." Qiu Heng curved her lips, "There are interesting things too. The Cheng family girl wants to compete with me in horseback riding, and the winner can slap the other twice."

Beauty Qiu:!

"Sixth sister, didn't you say you only know how to ride a donkey?"

Qiu Heng nodded: "Yes."

"Then why did you compete with others in horseback riding and make such a bet?"

She has been in the palace for six or seven years. Has the outside world changed so much? Even noble ladies have started slapping each other when they make bets?
"If you can't refuse, just accept it. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if she provokes you from time to time."

"Sixth sister has a grudge against that girl?"

Qiu Heng said indifferently: "Probably because her aunt is Wu Zhaoyi."

Lady Qiu was completely stunned. After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "It was my sister who implicated you."

"It has nothing to do with you, sister. I can solve the troubles I caused." Qiu Heng paused and smiled at Qiu Meiren, "If you can't solve it, it's better not to cause trouble, don't you think so, sister?"

Lady Qiu's face turned pale, and when Qiu Heng left, she grabbed the pillow with both hands, her heart filled with horror.

Did Sixth Sister notice what she was thinking?

But my sixth sister has just been found, how could this happen - the imperial envoy, Lord Xue, sent me back, we are friends - the girl's casual words echoed in Lady Qiu's ears, making her face even paler.

And in the end, these horrors turned into tears of pain and shame, wetting the pillowcase.

Qiu Heng returned to his residence, changed into a riding suit, and went to the agreed place accompanied by Princess Jiayi and others.

"So many people!" Feng Caixing exclaimed in a low voice before reaching the place.

There were many people sitting or standing on the vast lawn. In addition to many more ladies than at the barbecue yesterday, there were also many young men.

The laughter and noise at this time were made by these young people, and some of them even played Cuju.

"This Cheng Susu just wants more people to see Ah Heng being humiliated!" Feng Caixing said angrily after realizing what was happening.

"Miss Qiu Liu is here!" someone with sharp eyes shouted.

Immediately, countless eyes were cast over, and even someone as lively as Feng Caixing felt a little uncomfortable.

Cheng Susu came over with a sneer on her face: "I thought Miss Qiu Liu was not feeling well and couldn't come over."

She thought about the possibility that Qiu Liu might claim to be ill and not come, but fortunately he came, and it was worth it for her to spread the news of the bet and attract so many people.

Qiu Heng glanced at her and said calmly, "Miss Cheng is so talkative. Let's start the competition so that we don't have to keep everyone waiting."

Hearing this, the shy noble lady looked embarrassed, while the young men laughed and said, "That's right, don't keep us waiting too long, we still have to go hunting and playing Cuju later."

Several young men who were playing Cuju also stopped at this time, including Cui Er.

Cui Er kicked the ball with his toes, staring at the girl in a cherry red riding suit, muttering, "She can cause more trouble than me."

"Cui Er, what are you talking about?" asked a companion.

"Nothing, just for fun." Cui Er deliberately spoke in a light-hearted manner, but his heart was inexplicably ached.

I heard that if Qiu Liu lost, he would be slapped. If he had known that he had made a bet with Qiu Liu, he would have been the one to fight, to vent his anger for being rejected, and it would never have been the turn of that crazy woman Cheng Susu.

At worst, he'll hit me lightly.

In full view of everyone, two horses were led over by the guards.

Cheng Susu raised her chin and said, "We are the same military horse, don't say I bully you."

"Miss Cheng is very thoughtful."

"Stop talking nonsense." Cheng Susu mounted the horse swiftly, and sat on it, looking at Qiu Heng with high spirits.

Qiu Heng slowly stepped into the stirrup and mounted the horse, holding the reins tightly.

Cheng Susu couldn't help laughing: "Miss Qiu Liu, you must hold on tight and don't fall."

Qiu Heng smiled: "Don't worry, you won't fall."

"There are ten flags set up ahead. Miss Cheng's side has pink flags, and Miss Qiu's side has blue flags. Whoever takes down the most flags in a round trip wins. If the number of flags is the same, the one who returns first wins. Are you two ready?"

After getting a response, the girl who explained the rules hit the gong hard.

The gong sounded deafening, and two horses rushed out.

At the beginning, the road was flat, but soon the first flag inserted diagonally into a wooden pole appeared in front of us.

Feng Caixing nervously grasped her sister's hand: "I can get it, I can get it..."

"Good!" A round of cheers rang out.

There were two figures, one red and one pink, on horseback, each holding a flag.

Cheng Susu inserted the flag into the bag hanging on the side of the horse, glanced at Qiu Heng proudly, and was stunned to find that Qiu Heng also got the flag.

How could you possibly get the flag if you’ve never ridden a horse?

You little bitch lied!
Realizing this, Cheng Susu became very annoyed, but in that split second that she was distracted, the horse carrying Qiu Heng pulled away like the wind.

Feng Caixing rubbed her eyes: "Sister, am I dazzled? Ah Heng seems to be in front of me..."
