However, Wu Dao pondered for a long time and only said, âIâm not as good as you.â
Han Yuwen seemed to have suffered a disaster. The hatred on her face was like a burning anger.
âSu Yingxue!â
âEldest Princess, does our Great Cheng Dynasty have many talents? This unique skill of mine is barely acceptable, right?â Su Yingxue asked humbly.
The more humble she appeared, the more she exuded a sense of mockery.
Han Yuwen grew even angrier.
âSu Yingxue, 1 will reward you handsomely.â
In any case, seeing that Su Yingxue had won face for the Great Cheng Dynasty, Chu Mingyuan also gave her face.
Su Yingxue received her reward and turned around to look at Han Yuwen. She then thought of Lin Sisi and suggested to Chu Mingyuan, âEmperor, the Eldest Princess thinks that all the noble ladies in our country are too weak to stand up to the wind, so she asked her maid to perform. Actually, among the noble ladies, many are better at sword dancing than the Eldest Princessâs maid. Why donât we let them spar and let everyone see that even the women of our Great Cheng Dynasty are not inferior to men?â
This suggestion was very good. Not only could it save face, but it could also slap Han Yuwenâs face. Chu Mingyuan immediately said, âIf there is a noble girl who can dance with a knife and sword and spar with the princessâs maid, regardless of whether she wins or loses, I will reward her heavily!â
Su Yingxue got off the stage and winked at Lin Sisi.
Lin Sisiâs heart jumped. âI⦠Can 1?â
Su Yingxue walked in front of her and held her hand. âDonât you want this chance? Besides, Iâve already found out that the person who drugged you is Han Yuwen.â
âItâs her!â
Lin Sisiâs eyes were burning with anger. She grabbed a palace guardâs knife and rushed onto the stage. She pointed at Feng Qing and asked, âDo you dare to compete with me?â
Feng Qing was already angry. Han Yuwen was humiliated by Su Yingxue, so she couldnât teach Su Yingxue a lesson in public. Now, Lin Sisi had jumped out!
Lin Sisi had always been on good terms with Su Yingxue, so teaching her a lesson was equivalent to teaching Su Yingxue a lesson.
Feng Qing also jumped onto the stage with her sword in hand and raised her chin high. âLetâs compete, but donât cry if you lose! You said that our princess bullied you, the delicate flower in the boudoir!â
âWho is the delicate flower in the boudoir? Iâm born in the thorn thicket!â
Lin Sisi waved her knife and slashed at Feng Qing.
Everyone thought that it would be a competition of swords, but they did not expect the two of them to directly become swords.
Chu Mingyuan was a little unhappy, but he was the one who allowed this competition. Since they were already fighting, he couldnât tell them to stop.
Chu Jinling stayed by Noble Consort Xiaoâs side and shook Noble Consort Xiaoâs arm worriedly. âMother, do you have a way to make them stop? That maidâs martial arts is very strong, Iâm afraid Sisi isnât her match!â
âIf sheâs not a match, why is she showing off? He deserves to be beaten up!â Noble Consort Xiao did not have Chu Jinlingâs intentions.
She had always been magnanimous and only looked up to capable women. She hated uselessness.
This time, it was Lin Sisi who jumped onto the stage to stir up trouble. If she couldnât win, she wouldnât make a move. Even if Chu Jinling begged her, she would at most let Lin Sisi not be punished.
However, when she saw her son obsessed with Lin Sisi, she felt a headache coming on.
Chu Jinling was extremely nervous. He clenched his fists so hard that he was sweating profusely.
On the stage, Lin Sisiâs movements became more and more agile.
Between her and Feng Qing, the sound of swords became more and more intense. Every move was fatal, and the hearts of the people below the stage were hanging..
