Chapter 241 Result
After Han Jing shared his experience, everyone realized where their weaknesses were.
"Okay, let's continue the archery competition!"
Han Jing continued to call out, and everyone began to prepare for the next project. They followed them to the shooting range, and without any further ado, they picked up their bows and arrows and began shooting.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, it shot out very quickly. Qin Wuji had already dug up a flower. Qin Mingqi found a wild pear tree nearby and begged the palace servants to pick some for her to taste.
"Sister, this is a bit sweet and sour, and it's quite delicious. I'll give you one. I've tried it!"
Qin Mingqi gave her one that he had tasted, and Qin Wuji didn't mind as she was a little thirsty.
Her hands were dirty, so she wrapped the pear in a handkerchief and started eating it. Qin Mingqi looked at her.
"How is it? Sister, is it delicious?"
Qin Wuji nodded.
"Yeah, it quenches your thirst. You can pick a few more to bring to your brothers and sisters."
"I also need to bring some back for my parents to eat."
Qin Mingqi smiled and said to the person in the tree.
"Big brother, please pick more and bigger ones, thank you!"
"Okay, miss, don't worry, the small ones will all be big ones."
By the time they finished picking the pears and walked back, the results were already there on the shooting range.
In the shooting event, Qin Shan and Qin Chuan tied for first place. Ying Ni was unexpectedly only one point behind them and came second. Han Jing and Qin Ni came third, and Qin Wang and Ying Hui came fourth.
Han Su looked at her final result which was at the bottom.
"It seems that I can't be lazy on weekdays. Brother Qin Yue must be as lazy as me, right?"
Qin Yue touched his nose and smiled.
"Oops, I've been slacking off lately. I'll try to beat you guys another day."
Several people came back together, and the First Emperor was very pleased with their performance.
"Very good. As promised, there will be a reward. This is for the first rider. This saddle was used by me when I was conquering the six kingdoms."
Han Jing looked at the saddle brought by the palace servant. After so many years of maintenance, it still looked like new.
"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. I will serve the Great Qin with all my heart and soul until my death!"
Seeing his serious expression, the First Emperor nodded slightly. Han Xin was a man of character. His military ability was beyond doubt and his governance methods were also good. He managed such a large area in perfect order. He admired him very much and continued to reward the two winners of the first prize.
Qin Shan and Qin Chuan pretended to be calm, but their hands were sweating from nervousness.
"You two are both first. Of these two bows, one was made for me by the late king when I was a beginner, and the other was made by me during my many years of fighting in the world. You can choose your own."
Ying Hui and Ying Ni heard from Hu Hai that no matter how favored he was as a child, he could not touch the bow made by the previous king.
Qin Shan and Qin Chuan knelt down and saluted.
"Your Majesty, these two bows are of great significance to you. It is a great favor for you to give each of us an arrow."
Han Jingyin, who was standing by, suddenly felt his joy at getting the saddle disappear. His body was frozen for a moment. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face turned pale.
"My words are as good as gold. It is better to be passed down to future generations than to be buried in a coffin in the future."
His tone was full of majesty and a little lonely. Qin Shan and Qin Chuan accepted the order and thanked him.
"Emperor, we are back!"
Qin Mingqi's cheerful voice came, jogging with a few pears in his arms, while Qin Wuji followed carefully holding a pot of flowers.
When she ran up to him, she gave the pear in her arms to the First Emperor like offering a treasure.
"Greetings to the Emperor, this is very thirst-quenching, you can try it, my brothers and sisters also have some, I picked a lot to take home."
While muttering, he distributed them to Qin Yue and the others, and Qi Le quickly had someone take them down and clean them.
“It’s very clean and you can eat it like this.”
Qin Mingqi saw that they didn’t eat and thought they thought it was not tasty.
"Qiqi, we just drank a lot of water. We'll eat the pear later. Thank you!"
Han Su gently touched Qin Mingqi's little head, as if he was thinking about something, and Qin Mingqi nodded, indicating that he had understood a certain problem.
Then, Qin Mingqi asked again.
"Okay, by the way, Sister Su, who won just now?"
Han Su immediately replied: "It's my brother and your third and fourth brothers."
Hearing this answer, Qin Mingqi clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling with joy. "Wow, that's great! Brothers, you are all so great!"
She smiled happily, her face filled with pride and joy.
While they were rejoicing, a Taoist figure hurried towards the palace, said a few words to the general guarding the palace gate, and immediately sent someone to report to Fusu.
"What? Yuxi Hou died?"
But Fusu always remembered what Qin Xingfu said about the harm that would last for a thousand years, and Zhao Gao was in good health.
"Your Majesty, I heard that he was angered to death by the Marquis' children."
Zhao Gao's retirement benefits were not bad, but his children were not ambitious and he could not even teach them well. They were willful and often caused trouble. Zhao Gao had to clean up their messes over the years and sold a lot of his property. His original concubines were all sent out of the mansion. Now the mansion was just an empty shell and he couldn't even afford to hire a servant.
Fusu could only sigh. His father had spared his life, but this was the result.
"Send a message to Hu Hai. Zhao Gao is his teacher after all. As for the rest, follow the rules."
"Here!"
Zhao Gao died of anger. His children tried to conceal the truth at first, but were seen by the imperial physician who came for a routine consultation. They had no choice but to report it honestly.
Fusu thought about it and called the eunuch.
"Wait, let someone investigate. If the facts are true, the title of Marquis of Yuxi will not be allowed to be inherited, and all the people will be dealt with according to the law."
That title was not originally intended to be inherited by anyone.
"Here!"
When Ying Jiang learned the news, he felt that tomorrow's big selling point had come again, so he immediately asked someone to prepare the manuscript and print it overnight.
The First Emperor liked the children very much, so he let them stay in the Afang Palace. When he learned the news at night, he felt sad and told the children the story of Zhao Gao.
Qin Yue and the others still remembered that Zhao Gao's family had a bad tradition and his child had cursed his mother before.
"Your Majesty, according to what you said, the character of Yuxi Hou is not good. Why do you still want to employ such a person? And why do you still want to make him a marquis?"
The First Emperor did not expect that he could ask so directly. He was really a child raised by Qin Xingfu. However, he did not answer Qin Yue directly, but looked at others, wanting them to think for themselves.
"Do you have any ideas about this issue? Feel free to share."
The First Emperor looked at them and asked.
Han Jing had wanted to say it a long time ago, but since the First Emperor hadn't spoken, he didn't know how to answer the question.
"I know I know!"
Qin Mingqi raised his hands excitedly and shouted.
The First Emperor smiled and nodded, motioning for her to speak.
Qin Mingqi stood up happily and said.
"My mother said it was the catfish effect, that fish need stimulation from each other, and the same is true for humans."
Qin Yue remembered that his mother seemed to have told him a bedtime story about this, and he understood it all at once.
Ying Hui and Ying Ni didn’t quite understand.
"Qiqi, what is the catfish effect? Is there any allusion to this?"
Qin Mingqi thought they had never heard of this story, so he thought about it and told them.
