Chapter 26 Shao Shang flies in front, Zhao Jun chases behind

He Zhaojun had not put on her makeup yet, and even her lip color was pale, making her look even more cold and aloof. Her face was tender as water, but her eyes were cold as frost.

"Of course. The Third Prince is so handsome, even more so than those young girls. No flower can compare to Sister Duanduan's beauty. How can this servant not feel heartbroken?"

When Wen Ziduan heard her say this again, he was immediately furious and turned to leave, waiting for He Zhaojun to come and persuade him to stay. However, he didn't expect that He Zhaojun was about to close the door and had no intention of trying to keep him.

He grabbed the door frame with his hands and said, "Come over to the Tugaoshan Festival in five days and see me compete in horseback archery. Do you still have the manliness?!"

He Zhaojun looked at Wen Ziduan's receding figure and lowered her eyes. "Yes, they began to plot for the crown prince's position during this ceremony."

——

Tugaoshan Festival.

"Sister Zhaojun, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have lost weight again?" Cheng Shaoshang felt extremely distressed when he saw He Zhaojun. Even though she and Lou Yao were not destined to be together, she knew that it was not He Zhaojun's fault.

On the contrary, she liked He Zhaojun very much. In the past few days, she had been thinking about the plan in her mind and had some ideas, and was planning to discuss it with her.

He Zhaojun glanced at Lou Yao beside her and gave an understanding smile: "Mr. Lou, you and Shao Shang must have something to say. I will take a seat and wait for you. There is no need to be impatient."

After saying this, she turned back to her seat and leisurely sipped her tea. This ceremony was quite boring. The He family usually practiced horseback riding and archery. If she hadn't been injured and not fully recovered, she would definitely show off her skills to these arrogant women.

"Some people despised Lou Yao's weakness and insisted on breaking off the engagement. Now they're shamelessly getting engaged again. I wonder how they have the nerve to join in the fun at the festival?"

"That's right, my sister-in-law is really shameless."

Wang Yan and Lou Yu joined in the same rebuke, their insults extremely harsh. He Zhaojun remained unaffected, like an old monk in meditation. She disdained to be associated with these harem tricks.

Wang Yan is the granddaughter of Prince Gan'an. She is often with Princess Yuchang who is deeply in love with Ling Buyi. Lou Li is the youngest daughter of the Lou family's eldest wife. The two of them have similar interests and a common enemy, so they unite against the outside world.

"How dare you all come here? Sister Zhaojun has made great sacrifices for the country and the people. Why can't you come?" Cheng Shaoshang had arrived next to He Zhaojun at some point and heard a lot of gossip.

"Oh, you must have hit your brain. You're actually speaking for your love rival." Wang Yan continued to speak sarcastically.

Lou Yu also joined in the fun: "If your relationship is so good, why didn't you agree to Lou Yao's mother's proposal at the time, that the two women share one husband?"

Cheng Shaoshang put down the teacup heavily: "Haven't you had enough slaps? How about I give you two more?!" As he said that, he raised his hand and pretended to hit her. Lou Yu covered her face and shivered with fear.

She leaned over to He Zhaojun and said, "Sister Zhaojun, instead of sitting here bickering with these girls, why don't you come ride up the mountain with me? There's a tower on the back mountain that I've been wanting to see for a long time."

He Zhaojun shook her head: "My injuries are not fully healed yet, you go by yourself."

But when she picked up the teacup, He Zhaojun saw that the fingertips of her right hand were faintly transparent.

Oh no, has something unexpected happened? She frantically looked around and saw a white jade pendant lying on the cushion where Cheng Shaoshang had just sat. He Zhaojun was shocked. What should she do?

In the original novel, Cheng Shaoshang never talked to me for a long time, nor did he drop the jade pendant. If there was no jade pendant as evidence, would other uncontrollable events have happened?

He Zhaojun acted decisively, pulled a horse over, climbed onto the saddle, endured the pain of the torn wound, held on to the jade pendant, and ran all the way to the back mountain.

Shao Shang, wait! Your jade pendant!
