Chapter 631: Born with Divine Power and Divine Courage
"Your Majesty, I just heard that something happened in the hunting grounds. What happened?"
Concubine Ming stood beside the emperor, keeping herself away from the big tiger to avoid any accidents.
At the emperor's signal, Liu Qin told everyone what had just happened in the forest.
Concubine Ming was shocked. "What?! There are actually wild black bears in this forest? Your Majesty, are you safe?!"
When Concubine De heard this, her face turned unnaturally pale, as if there were other emotions besides shock.
Shu He locked his gaze on her, with a hint of unknown meaning in his eyes.
Concubine De also noticed this gaze. Feeling guilty, she quickly calmed down and walked forward nervously to ask about the emperor's safety.
Emperor Qiwen didn't notice her abnormality and waved his hand, "I'm fine, thanks to the Seventh Prince's wife and Xiao Yi'er!"
"Father, are you saying that it was Yi'er who killed the big black bear?"
Baili Ruyun asked in disbelief. In her impression, Yi'er was just a slightly domineering little girl. At most, she could be a little bully among a few children. How could she fight with a beast like a black bear?
Isn’t this too incredible?
Emperor Qiwen walked towards Yi'er and stretched out his hands, "Yi'er, come and let Grandpa hold you!"
Yier walked over very obediently, smiling with her eyes and reaching out to Emperor Qiwen.
Emperor Qiwen picked her up, his face full of pride, "Yun'er, you can't imagine, right? Even I was shocked and speechless! This little Yi'er is simply..."
He was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what adjective to use to describe Yier's bravery at that time.
Seeing this, Liu Qin quickly stepped forward to intervene and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this the legendary prodigy born with supernatural powers?!"
Emperor Qiwen's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile, "Yes! A little prodigy born with supernatural powers!"
"I never thought that a little prodigy would appear in our royal family! Yi'er is so brave, even her father couldn't compare to him when he was a child!"
Then he turned to Yi'er, "But your father was also very powerful when he was young! His martial arts talent is the strongest among all the princes! None of your uncles can compare to him!"
Holding Yi'er, Emperor Qiwen spoke more and more excitedly, and even talked about Baili Moqing's childhood, his face full of appreciation and satisfaction.
Baili Moqing probably never imagined that the recognition he had been pursuing for many years would one day be easily obtained because of his daughter...
At this time, all the hunters in the hunting mountain came back, and the sound of horse hooves was deafening, attracting everyone's attention.
After hearing the report from the servants, several princes quickly dismounted.
"Father, I heard that there was a black bear attack. Are you okay?" Baili Moyan was the first to come over, his face full of anxiety and worry.
The fifth and eighth brothers also trotted over and asked about the emperor's condition.
Emperor Qiwen was not touched by his sons' concern, and could not help feeling disappointed.
When he was in the most danger, it was not his sons who were present who protected him! Instead, it was the absent seventh brother, his wife and daughter who saved him!
At this time, he really felt that what was the point of raising so many sons?
When Concubine Ming saw this, she secretly gave Lao Jiu a look.
After receiving the message, Baili Moyan immediately knelt down to apologize, "Father, I was too deep in the hunting grounds to rescue you in time. I truly deserve death. I beg you to forgive me!"
The fifth and eighth brothers looked at each other, secretly cursed the ninth brother for being cunning, and immediately knelt down and said the same thing.
Seeing that the three of them had some self-awareness, the displeasure on Emperor Qiwen's face eased a little, and he said indifferently, "Get up! This happened suddenly, and you were all deep in the mountains. It's understandable that you didn't arrive in time to rescue me. There's no need to blame yourself!"
The three of them glanced at each other secretly, then stood up together, "Thank you, Father!"
Shu He lowered his eyes slightly, a sneer flashing in his eyes.
This emperor was quite contradictory. He wanted to blame his sons, but at the same time he felt that he was wrong and couldn't really blame them. He had to make them kneel down, only then would he feel better.
Shu He was just thinking about this when he heard Baili Moyan say, "I heard that it was Sister-in-law Qi and five-year-old Xiao Yi'er who saved Father? Sister-in-law Qi, your skills are truly astonishing!"
Shu He smiled faintly and said nothing.
Baili Moyan continued, "I can't believe that Shu Kelin, a fourth-rank general with fifth-rank skills, could actually raise such a formidable daughter like Qisao!"
When Emperor Qiwen heard this, he looked at Yi'er's smiling eyes, and there was an elusive deep meaning in them.
Shu He was standing aside, how come she couldn't hear the hidden meaning in his words?
She slowly raised her eyelids, revealing a pair of clear and calm eyes, and looked directly at him, "Your Highness, what are you saying? Haven't you heard of the saying, 'The disciple who comes from the master is better than the master'?"
"My father's incompetence only means that he is incompetent, and it does not limit my achievements."
"If each generation's achievements are inferior to the previous one, then how can there be such a thing as 'God's Chosen Ones' in this world? How can each generation be stronger than the last?"
The light words, with a hint of smile, seemed harmless, but in fact they were full of sarcasm.
When the people below heard this, they began to whisper. They all agreed with what Shu He said, and expressed their admiration for Shu He and Yi'er's rescue today!
Especially when looking at Yi'er, the surprise and admiration in their eyes were beyond words.
"Princess Li is right! I heard that in the end, it was the little princess who climbed onto the big black bear's head and beat it to death with punch after punch!"
"Such prowess surpasses even the bravery of Prince Li back then, doesn't it? Isn't this what the princess meant by 'the disciple surpasses the master'?"
"That's right! How could a child from an ordinary family be able to fight a ferocious beast without losing at such a young age? I'm afraid only the equally gifted Prince Li and Princess Li could give birth to a little princess with such natural supernatural powers!"
Everyone praised him, which made Baili Moyan's face look even uglier.
He really wanted to question Shu He. Since she was so "gifted", why did she lose her reputation because of the schemes she took against her stepmother and stepsister?
However, the look in Concubine Ming's eyes made him restrain his impulse.
At this time, if he really pressed on like this, he would definitely annoy his father! After all, Shu He and her mother had just saved him!
