Su Xiaoxiao sighed faintly. “Princess Kangning, it’s not that I underestimate you, but I really can’t bear to see you lose face again.”
Zhao Kangning asked provocatively, “Are you afraid?”
The young Princess of the Western Jin stroked the mane of the Sihu and said sweetly, “Why wouldn’t Qin Su dare?”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed again. “Sigh, no matter what, you’re still an envoy of Northern Yan. I’ve already beaten you twice. If I compete with you again, it’ll seem like I’m bullying you.”
Zhao Kangning said proudly, “Victory and defeat are common in war. You only won a zither battle. Don’t really think of yourself as a victorious general!” “And horses,” Su Xiaoxiao reminded her sternly.
Sihu jumped around and tried its best to respond to their master. At the same time, it made its presence known.
Zhao Kangning looked at the happy foal and pinched her fingers. “You were just lucky to get a good foal. It’s not like you’re so capable!”
The young Princess of the Western Jin said, “But Sihu is a premature foal. It’s testament to Qin Su’s ability that she could raise it!”
She already knew about the difficulties of Sihu, so she liked it even more.
Zhao Kangning was here to compete with Su Xiaoxiao, not argue with the young Princess of the Western Jin. It was not good for him to offend the young princess of the Western Jin.
“Qin Su, give me a definite answer. Do you dare to compete with me? If you don’t dare, just admit it openly. I won’t make things difficult for you.”
She was about to leave the Great Zhou. She had to defeat Qin Su before that to avenge her previous humiliation!
“Little sidekick! Compete with her!”
Princess Hui An’s voice appeared at the entrance of the small garden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had come over with Princess Jingning. Her foot injury had already healed. She had been sitting in a wheelchair for so long, and now she walked every day in revenge.
She was dressed in purple palace clothes, had almond-shaped eyes, pink face, red lips, and dark eyebrows. She was as beautiful as a peach.
She was a natural beauty and was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her.
Princess Jing Ning was wearing a light blue dress. She was graceful and beautiful, and her temperament was extremely good.
The two of them came to Su Xiaoxiao’s side and greeted her.
Because of Su Xiaoxiao, the young Princess of the Western Jin was quite polite to the two of them.
Princess Hui An looked at Zhao Kangning unrestrainedly and said with a smile, “Someone is looking for trouble again. Do you have anything to lose this time?
If not, you should go back and raise some money before competing!”
Su Xiaoxiao secretly gave her a thumbs up. Princess Hui An had finally unearthed her talent.
A fierce glint flashed across Zhao Kangning’s eyes. She took out a pair of cards from her wide sleeve and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “This is my silver and jewelry from the Northern Yan Bank. Don’t you already have the token given by my uncle? If you defeat me, you can go to Northern Yan at any time to take the money inside!”
Princess Hui An snorted. “How do we know if there’s much money inside? If there’s only a hundred and eighty taels, who cares? There won’t even be enough money on the way!”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered under her breath, “Keep talking. Don’t stop.”
Princess Jingning said, “That’s the Heaven-ranked card of the Crimson Moon
Bank. It’s priceless.”
Princess Hui An leaned back slightly and whispered into Princess Jingning’s ear, “How did you know?”
Princess Jingning glanced at her. “I heard Second Brother and Third Brother mention it. You were there too.”
Princess Hui An stuck out her tongue resentfully. Alright, she didn’t remember.
She asked, “How priceless is it?”
Princess Jingning said, “More than your little treasury.”
Princess Hui An’s eyes lit up, but then her face darkened. “You peeked at my small vault? Did you steal my gold?”
Princess Jingning couldn’t be bothered with this idiot of a sister.
Princess Hui An rolled her eyes at Princess Jingning and turned to Su Xiaoxiao.
“Little sidekick, win her assets!”
Su Xiaoxiao said helplessly, “Since Princess Hui An ordered… I can only try my best.”
Zhao Kangning asked, “Where’s your bet?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, Where’s your arrogance? You clearly didn’t want the hedge the first time.
Zhao Kangning sneered and said, “I’ve bet all my assets. Shouldn’t you show some sincerity? Why don’t… you bet with Wei Ting? If you lose, Wei Ting will be mine!”
Not far away, the daughters of the Palace Academy who had come with the two princesses happened to hear this and exclaimed in unison
“Did… did she take a fancy to Master Wei?”
“She’s crazy! Master Wei has a family!”
“She deliberately said that to make Qin Su unhappy, right?”
“I don’t think so. I went to the autumn sacrifice ceremony too. I sat opposite her. She kept staring at Master Wei that day without moving her eyes. I thought she was looking at her enemy… So she was looking at her lover…”
“Shameless!”
“Yes! Shameless!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMost of the daughters of Palace Academy were furious, but there were also one or two different voices.
“I heard that back at Broken North Pass, Master Wei killed his way into the enemy camp alone and beheaded King Hulie. He was surrounded by the
Northern Yan army and was let go by Princess Kangning. In that case, Princess
Kangning knew him first, and Qin Su was the one who came later.”
“That’s right. Moreover, I heard that Wei Ting agreed to this marriage under the tyranny of the Old Protector Duke. One is the Princess of Northern Yan, a dignified female top scholar, and the other is a girl who grew up in the countryside. It’s obvious who Master Wei admires.”
“So what if she grew up in the countryside? Have some people forgotten how
Qin Su memorized the Analects backwards? How did she shock everyone?”
“Forget it, I won’t talk to them anymore. Let’s go!” Lu Hui pulled her sister, Miss Zheng, and the others away.
Those who supported Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Xiaoxiao’s side. Those who remained neutral stayed where they were or stood where the Princess of Northern Yan was.
Princess Hui An clenched her fists and said, “Little sidekick! Agree to her! Use Brother Ting as a hedge!”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. Was this really good? Su Xiaoxiao said, “Qin Su doesn’t dare to disobey the princess’s orders.” Princess Jingning muttered, “You can’t wait, right…”
“What do you want to bet!” Princess Hui An asked Zhao Kangning.
Zhao Kangning said, “Picking flowers.”
“What’s picking flowers?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Princess Jingning said, “Flower picking was originally a sacrificial activity in Northern Yan. Because of its popularity, it spread widely among the people. Its popularity is similar to our pitch-pot, but it’s more dangerous and the rules are more complicated.”
Picking flowers required the building of a makeshift building on the ground with bamboo poles. It had to be ten to thirty feet tall. Between each bamboo pole, there were only silk ribbons. There were empty poles and solid poles.
As the name implies, the empty rod was not tied tightly. If one stepped on it, they would fall and be eliminated.
Princess Hui An asked, “Isn’t it easy to fall?”
Princess Jingning nodded. “Therefore, you have to have good qinggong. Whoever plucks the silk flower on the top first and successfully solves the riddle inside will win.”
When the daughters heard this, they could not help but reveal a trace of despair.
In terms of riding skills and archery, Qin Su was fine.. She could even fight, but Qin Su did not know qinggong!
