"Princess Sophia, don't try to bully others too much." Kangxi stared at Sophia coldly, this woman had to push her further.

"Emperor Qing, this is a matter between us women, please don't interfere. It was your concubine who said that she saw the real chapter under her hand. This princess is just giving her a chance. Of course, if she dare not bet, just kneel down It is also okay to come down and kowtow to this princess."

Sophia held her breath, it was good that she came to ask for help, but she was not humiliated.Today is the shattering of the alliance, and she has to get it back, otherwise she will definitely lose the face of Tsarist Russia!

She looked at Ma Guan provocatively, this concubine with delicate skin and tender flesh, she looked like a deep palace woman who didn't know martial arts, fight with her?She will let this woman know the price of humiliating her!

"Presumptuous! Don't think that I dare not kill you." Kangxi was enraged, how could he allow a Tsarist Russian princess to be so arrogant on his own territory?

"Of course the emperor of the Qing Dynasty can kill this princess. Before coming here, this princess has made such preparations. However, if you kill this princess now, it will be in vain to take advantage of my deadly enemy. He is much more cruel than this princess. In the name of revenge for this princess, I will definitely send more troops to invade your Qing Dynasty."

Princess Sophia is also going all out. In order to control Tsarist Russia, she can even play with her younger brother in the palm of her hand as a marionette. How can she be afraid of the Qing emperor?

"Your Majesty, this matter is caused by my concubine, please come and tell her." Ma Guan was also pissed off by this Princess Laoshizi, and ran to her to show her prestige?I'm afraid I found the wrong person.

"I don't know what the princess wants to compare with this palace?"

"You are brave." Princess Sophia raised her eyebrows: "My princess is not comparing your embroidered cooking in Qing Dynasty, but real swords and guns. Don't be scared to pee your pants."

"A sword has no eyes, it is easy to hurt people, why not hunt?" Ma Guan automatically filtered her humiliation.

"You know how to hunt? That's fine, the princess will compete with you in hunting, and then we will see how you lose." Princess Sophia almost laughed out loud. This Concubine De is really ignorant. She didn't know that she could ride a horse and hunt at the age of five. ?

Seeing that she agreed, Ma Guan continued, "Then, within two hours, you and I will each ride into the forest to hunt. After two hours, whoever catches more prey and who is bigger will win." .”

"Yes, but outsiders are not allowed to help. This is your territory. If you want to cheat, this princess will not be able to find out."

"You can send one of your men to follow me, and I will also send my Qing guards to follow you."

"That's fair enough."

Ma Guan raised the corners of his lips and said again: "Should we also change our bet? If Ben Gong wins, you should kneel down and kowtow to Ben Gong, otherwise it would be unfair."

"You!" Princess Sophia raised her brows, where did this woman have the courage?

"Could it be that the princess is afraid of losing? I'm just a woman in the deep palace, and I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken. If you don't even have the guts..." Ma Guan deliberately used aggressive tactics, she knew that the other party would definitely be fooled.

"This princess promises you!" Sure enough, Princess Sophia agreed with a sneer.

"Then it's decided." Ma Guan picked up the wine glass and toasted far away, but Princess Sophia had a gloomy expression.

Everyone gasped, and they all secretly thought that something was wrong, why was De Fei Empress so impulsive, she agreed to compete with Princess Sophia?This Princess Sophia is also too deceitful, she actually asked Empress Defei to kowtow to her.

It is clear that she first humiliated the women of the Qing Dynasty, but instead said that the Concubine De concubine humiliated her and apologized to her.

The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt uncomfortable, especially Kangxi, who wished to chop Sophia up with a knife.

After the banquet was over, Kangxi took Ma Quan to his room, but he didn't agree with it.

"I have my own way to deal with her, why did you agree? I know that you have good hunting skills, but Princess Sophia has been hunting on horseback since she was a child, and her methods are vicious. You are not her opponent at all. This woman is very ambitious. After the Tsar died, she ostensibly installed her younger brother as emperor, but in fact she was the real ruler.”

"The emperor thinks about his concubines, and the concubines are very happy. If they reciprocate, the concubines must also consider the emperor. Princess Sophia is right. If the emperor does not form an alliance, even if the emperor can defeat the Russian invaders, it will waste a lot of manpower, money and time. .If she is restrained in the country, it will be easier for the emperor."

"The concubines don't know how to march and fight, but they know that the soldiers are real people. Your majesty, you should have more confidence in the concubines. Is it possible that the concubines can win?" His riding and archery may not be as good as Princess Sophia, but he may not necessarily lose.

Kangxi was both gratified and helpless, how could such a big event be put on a woman?

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just... that's all, since this matter has already happened, I can only support you."

"The emperor will just wait and see tomorrow, my concubine will not embarrass you." Ma Guan smiled.Are you kidding me, is she the one who kneels and kowtows in public?

If there is a real competition, she is afraid that she will lose, so she deliberately mentioned hunting.Hunting is very maneuverable, no matter how poor her archery skills are, as long as there are enough prey, she can win!

Everyone was anxious, but the second day came.

After breakfast, Ma Guan teased her little princess again before going out under the nervous gazes of Yuan He and the others.

"Sister Defei, are you sure?" Concubine Hui asked worriedly. She was finally able to walk on the ground recently, but she needed someone to support her.

Concubine Yi, Concubine Xi, nobleman Wei, etc. were also watching from the side, with worried expressions on their eyes.

Ma Guan changed into a dark and strong outfit today, and she looks clean and heroic, with a special charm.

"Sisters, don't worry, I don't do things that I'm not sure about. Just watch how I win that Princess Sophia."

"Oh, that's really shameless." Princess Sophia also arrived, just in time to hear Ma Guan's words, and rolled her eyes angrily. "This princess has practiced riding and archery for 20 years. If she loses to a powerless person like you, she might as well apologize with death."

"Whether the princess apologizes or not has nothing to do with me, but after losing, remember to kneel and kowtow, and you are not allowed to renege."

"My princess will talk about you when she sees you. Don't cry when you lose later. This princess has always been sympathetic."

"Er Niang will definitely win! Come on, Er Niang!" Yinzhen held up his small fist and hugged the white fox with the other hand, but he lost his grip and the white fox fell to the ground.

Before he could pick him up again, the white fox suddenly rushed into the woods, and disappeared after two or three strokes.

"Emiang, Xiaobai has run away." Yinzhen and Yinzuo turned pale with anxiety, Baihu has been with them for two years, what if they don't come back?

"It doesn't matter, it just wants to go home and play, and it will come back when it has enough fun." Ma Guan smiled and touched the heads of the two, and said: "You just stay here and wait for the mother to hunt and come back, you know?"

"Understood." The two brothers each hugged Ma Guan and clenched their little fists: "Er Niang, come on! Er Niang will definitely win!"

"Your Majesty, your horse is here." Liang Jiugong stepped forward to report that Ma Guan was still using the bloody BMW.

Princess Sophia also rode a horse when she came here, and she was not inferior to Ma Guan, so she laughed and said, "It's a waste of money for you to ride this horse."

"I hope you can still be so confident when the hunting is over." Ma Guan replied blankly.

"Hmph." Princess Sophia sneered, then got on the horse and ran around to warm up.

"There is no need to put too much pressure on me. I have my own way to deal with this matter." Kangxi stepped forward and comforted Ma Quan.

"The concubine understands." Ma Guan suddenly leaned into Kangxi's ear and said softly: "When the concubine wins later, if Sophia doesn't want to kneel and kowtow, the emperor remembers to cheat more."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, but his worry dissipated a lot.

"Your Majesty, the prey has been driven over, and there are no too ferocious beasts." At this moment, a guard came to report.

Kangxi nodded slightly, looked at the time, and it happened to be the hour, so he ordered: "The hunting begins."

Ma Guan and Sophia were immediately ready to go, with three guards behind each of them. There was a Tsarist Russian on Ma Guan's side, and a guard from the Qing Dynasty on Sophia's side, so they could play a supervisory role.

Standing at the entrance of the forest, Sophia said vigilantly: "I don't know if you have specially arranged this princess, perhaps to drive away more prey for Concubine De."

"Princess Sophia claims to have been hunting for 20 years, and she actually believes such a thing? Not to mention the size of this forest, but the prey itself, they don't have long legs, so they won't run around?" Ma Guan said sarcastically: "Then ask the princess to choose first, whichever side you choose."

Sophia was a little displeased, she stared at Ma Guan for two more seconds, but she didn't see anything wrong.

"Well, the princess will choose the left side." Sophia had no choice but to choose a direction at random.

"Then I will go to the right side of the palace. Princess Sophia, see you at noon." Ma Guan gave a light "drive", and the figure immediately rushed into the jungle.Not to be outdone, Sophia immediately rode her horse to keep up, and parted ways after walking about a hundred meters.

Sophia's luck was good. Not long after they parted ways, they met a wild deer.She immediately drew her bow and shot an arrow. While running, an arrow hit the wild deer's neck. The wild deer didn't even neigh, and collapsed to the ground, dying of death.

"The princess is victorious, she is unparalleled in heroism!" The two Tsarist Russian followers shouted excitedly, and Sophia also smiled, she did not believe that the German concubine could be stronger than her.

Ma Guan was indeed not as powerful as her, and his luck seemed to be not very good. It took nearly a quarter of an hour before he saw a sheep. He shot three arrows in a row before it hit the hind legs, and it took two more arrows before it was killed.

The Tsarist Russian envoy who was following behind couldn't help but roll his eyes. Do you want to compare yourself to your own princess in terms of archery?Really overwhelmed.

The two guards of the Qing Dynasty were conscientious, they didn't say a word, they just picked up the prey silently.

After another quarter of an hour, Ma Guan caught the second prey, but unfortunately it was only a rabbit, and the Tsarist Russian guard who followed her almost laughed out loud.Presumably the princess has already harvested a lot, and this Concubine De is definitely not the princess's opponent.

In the first half an hour, Ma Guan has always maintained this speed and state. In fact, it is already very good compared to usual, and has harvested four prey in half an hour.

After all, she and Sophia were the only two hunting today, so the chances of encountering prey were much higher.

Little did they know, Sophia had hunted nine prey in the past half an hour, and there was also a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh!

Sophia's riding and archery skills should not be underestimated.

Because she hunted too many prey, her people had to go out to report and let a few more guards come in to move the prey out.

People outside saw that she had gained so much in a short period of time, while Concubine De didn't even have half of her, and her heart sank to the bottom.

"Sister De Concubine is really good today, she hunted a sheep, a deer and two rabbits in half an hour." Concubine Hui saw that everyone was depressed, so she had to comfort her, Concubine De was actually doing pretty well today.

"That's right, if I'm allowed to go, I'm afraid I won't even be able to catch a single prey." Yi Fei agreed with a stiff smile.

"There is still an hour and a half left, Sister Concubine De still has a chance." Xi Concubine also said, but it's a pity that she couldn't even lie to herself.

After another half an hour, Princess Sophia's prey was less this time, only five, but Concubine De's side was even fewer, only three, not big in size.

At this time, Concubine Hui and the others couldn't say anything more.

In the woods, Ma Guan hunted another rabbit and asked the guard behind him, "How much time is left?"

"Go back to your mother, there is about an hour left." The guard replied respectfully.

"One hour...well, that's enough." Ma Guan smiled, her eyes suddenly turned to another direction, and she chased after a familiar aura.

The three guards also hurriedly followed.

Not long after, a group of white shadows appeared in front of them suddenly, followed by the sound of arrows swishing, hitting a sheep in an instant, and the three guards were stunned.

There were at least three sheep in front of them, and they just stood there grazing in a daze, not even knowing how to run!

No matter how bad Ma Guan's archery skills are, he can shoot the target alive, but in the blink of an eye, he shot all three sheep to death.

"Where do so many sheep come from? You cheated in the Qing Dynasty!" The envoy of Tsarist Russia shouted angrily. It must be that the people in the Qing Dynasty cheated and put a flock of sheep here on purpose!

"We raised you as a sheep, so we can put it wherever we want? I think you Tsarist Russia can't afford to lose!" Although the two guards also felt strange, how could the Tsarist Russian envoy talk nonsense at this time?

The Tsarist Russian envoy said angrily: "You must have used some method..."

"Then tell me what the solution is?" the Qing guard asked sarcastically.

Ma Quan ignored the Tsarist envoy at all, rode his horse and galloped in another direction, not long after, he met two wild deer again.So Ma Guan raised the arrow and took the two wild deer into his pocket.

Next came a litter of seven or eight rabbits, another litter of six or seven pheasants, and picked up several wild eggs by the way.

In the second half an hour, another family of three, two young wild boars, four yaks, five sheep, and a large group of silly roe deer were hunted down.

All the people guarding outside were stunned. At first, they thought that Princess Sophia had hunted these, and their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.

It was only later that I realized that the ones who came out to ask for help were clearly the guards beside Concubine De, and all these prey were hunted by Concubine De!

At the last moment, when Ma Guan came out holding her little white fox and leading a large group of silly roe deer, even Kangxi was surprised.

Princess Sophia, who came out later, widened her eyes in disbelief, and the original joy, excitement and high spirits disappeared in an instant.

"Er Niang is amazing!" It was Yinzhen and Yinzuo's praise that woke up the crowd, and they all came back to their senses and shouted in unison.

"Okay!" Kangxi also smiled, stepped forward to greet Ma Guan, and carried her off the horse.

"Your Majesty, my concubine didn't embarrass you, right?" Ma Guan lifted her chin triumphantly, looking at the prey piled up on her side, without any guilt of cheating.

She cheated, but not with the help of the Qing people, but with the little white fox in her arms.

After being raised by her for two years, the white fox has become more and more intelligent, and can fully understand her words, and even command animals.

An hour ago, the white fox was running non-stop in the woods, gathering its prey together.Then he left a breath nearby so that Ma Guan could track him down.

So in the next hour, Ma Guan only needs to follow its breath to harvest countless prey.

"There is no shame, you have given me great face! From now on, who dares to say that women in the Qing Dynasty are just embroidered pillows." Kangxi laughed loudly, mocking Sophia in front of her, and Sophia's face suddenly became even uglier. .

However, what made her even more ugly was yet to come. Liang Jiugong took the opportunity to report:

"My Majesty, the hunting results are out. Princess Sophia has hunted a total of 22 prey. Among them are six sheep, four wild deer, two wild boars, seven rabbits, two pheasants, and one deer."

"The concubine de concubine hunted fifty prey in total: twelve sheep, six wild deer, ten rabbits, six pheasants, three roe deer, two wild boars, four yaks, and seven roe deer were captured alive. Up to eight wild eggs!"

"The concubine Defei is brave and unparalleled!" Everyone present excitedly shouted in unison. Unexpectedly, the concubine Defei could make a comeback and hunt twice as many prey as Princess Sophia. It was simply a miracle!

"This princess doesn't believe it! This princess absolutely doesn't believe this kind of thing! Concubine De must have cheated!" Princess Sophia's face was ashen, she would lose?Still lost so badly.

Even the most heroic warriors of Tsarist Russia could not have hunted so many prey within two hours, let alone captured some of them alive.

"It must be that you, the Qing Dynasty, cheated and deliberately helped Concubine De beat this princess. This princess will never accept such a result."

Seeing her like this, everyone whispered unconvinced.

"What princess? She's clearly a rascal who can't afford to lose."

"Who says it's not? Why can't Empress Defei win her? If she wins, it's cheating? I really think of myself as an onion."

"That's right, she's not half as good as our Concubine De, why are you so proud all day long?"

"I just can't afford to lose, I don't want to kneel down and kowtow to Concubine De to admit defeat."

"Don't compete if you can't afford to lose. She can only win if you co-author? I don't know what it means."

Sophia was about to explode when she heard that, she grabbed the Tsarist envoy who was hunting with Ma Guan, and asked fiercely, "Tell me, did Concubine De cheat?"

The emissary said indignantly: "The Qing Dynasty definitely cheated. Concubine De's archery skills are very poor. If it weren't for cheating, she would never have caught so many prey. It must be the people of Qing Dynasty who gathered the prey together, just waiting for Concubine De Go hunting."

"Nonsense!" Kangxi was furious: "Even if I hope that Concubine De will win, I will definitely not do such a thing. How dare you insult me ​​and my Daqing like this!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, let the courtiers and concubines tell you about this matter." Ma Guan smiled and comforted, stepped forward and said: "Princess Sophia, you said that the palace cheated, please show evidence."

"Evidence? The princess' people have been following you, and his words are evidence." Sophia glared at Maru angrily.

Ma Guan raised his eyebrows, looked at the envoy with a slight smile and said, "Then I ask you, can you see the guards of the Qing Dynasty chasing those prey?"

"No...they must have been early in the morning..." The emissary's unconvinced defense was interrupted by Ma Guan.

"No, it's not. The following words are just your deliberate speculation, so you don't need to say it." Ma Guan smiled coldly, and continued to ask: "If you are asked to drive the prey, are you confident that you will drive the same prey together and keep them from moving around?" Running around?"

The envoy faltered in frustration: "I can't...but your Qing Dynasty must have something else..."

Ma Quan raised her voice in displeasure: "I have said it, you don't have to say what you maliciously speculate. You can answer whatever I ask you!"

"Concubine De, you're clearly just sophistry, why don't you let this princess finish her sentence?" Sophia sneered and said, "You people from the Qing Dynasty deliberately drove the prey together, and you dare not say it after doing it?"

"The princess's words are really interesting. Is this an admission that you are not as good as I am in Tsarist Russia?" Ma Guan looked at Sophia strangely.

Sophia was furious: "When did this princess say that?!"

"I asked your people just now if they could drive the same prey together and keep them from running around. Your people said they couldn't. Then you said that the Qing Dynasty can do it. Isn't that just admitting that Tsarist Russia is not as good as the Qing Dynasty? Is it?" Ma Guan's face was taken for granted.

"You, you are talking nonsense..." Sophia was completely confused.

"Why is this palace talking nonsense? Everyone present is listening." Ma Guan glanced at the crowd, and they immediately expressed their support, but they felt a little strange in their hearts.

"The princess is talking about hunting, not for you to talk about such nonsense." Sophia was still a little confused, but seeing De Fei's annoying smiling face, she finally figured it out.

If it is admitted that the Qing Dynasty cheated in this matter, it means that the Qing Dynasty has done something that Tsarist Russia could not do; but if Concubine De did not cheat, it means that she has won her in hunting.

No matter what, she is the one who suffers from Tsarist Russia!

"I'm talking about hunting, but I'm not messing around. I said that the Qing Dynasty didn't drive the prey together, but you insisted that you did, and your people admitted that Tsarist Russia couldn't do it...Princess Sophia, what do you mean by the Qing Dynasty?" Did you cheat?"

Ma Guan pressed on every step of the way, full of laughter, and in Sophia's eyes, it was like a demon descending into the world.

Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and the others chuckled, never expecting things to turn out like this.Kangxi couldn't help laughing, no matter how Sophia was chosen, she would lose.

Sophia gritted her silver teeth, hearing the laughter everywhere, her face turned red and blue.

"You Daqing didn't cheat. You won the hunt, and this princess lost." She said this unwillingly, her fingernails digging into the palm of her hand.

She would rather admit defeat by herself than let Tsarist Russia bear the reputation of being inferior to Qing Dynasty.

Ma Guan praised: "Princess is straightforward, since that's the case, let's kneel and kowtow as agreed."

The author has something to say: The white fox has become a spirit hahahaha
