Jiang Yimian was also somewhat surprised to see so many people outside the princess's residence. She hadn't expected there to be so many people outside, and no one had driven them away. It was clearly Xie Yu's doing.
Thinking it over, she simply added fuel to the fire, saying lightly, "Third Princess, are you afraid of seeing so many people?"
"It's alright. It doesn't matter if the Third Princess doesn't want to keep her promise. She'll just be accused of being untrustworthy. Being untrustworthy seems more acceptable to the princess than being embarrassed, doesn't it?"
Abiya glared at her fiercely, gritted her teeth, and roared, "The women of Tuyuhun are not as good as the women of Jin."
After saying that, he ran straight around the princess's residence, shouting as he ran.
The onlookers were stunned for a moment before someone burst into laughter.
"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? This person said that Tuyuhun women are inferior to Jin women. If I'm not mistaken, that's the third princess of Tuyuhun, right? What's going on?"
"You don't know, do you? Just now at the princess's residence, this third princess looked down on the women of the Great Jin Dynasty, so Princess Ning'an made a bet with her on archery, saying that whoever lost would run around the princess's residence shouting that the other was inferior to her."
It seems the Third Princess has lost. Princess Ning'an is truly remarkable; she has even managed to subdue the usually arrogant Tuyuhun princess.
"Yes, they really vented our anger. These past few days, those Tuyuhun people have been bullying innocent people in the capital, and they're so fast that even the Imperial Guards couldn't catch them. They're really hateful."
"Who says otherwise? I heard that the Third Princess decided on the terms of the bet herself. She probably wanted to embarrass Princess Ning'an, but she ended up reaping the consequences. How satisfying!"
"Let's go, let's follow her and see if the Third Princess of Tuyuhun has kept her promise."
As she spoke, many onlookers followed in Abiya's footsteps.
Abiya, who originally wanted to shake off those people and slip away, turned around and saw more and more people following her, which made her very angry.
There was no chance to slip away, so he could only grit his teeth and keep shouting, while in his heart he was already cursing Jiang Yimian to pieces.
Most of the people in front of the princess's residence dispersed in an instant.
The noble ladies in the capital felt triumphant and showered Jiang Yimian with praise before gathering together again to talk about the day's events.
Everyone had a smile on their face, no longer feeling upset about the derogatory words they had heard from Abiya at the beginning; instead, they were all radiant.
Chen Feiyan laughed and said, "I will learn from the princess in the future and practice riding and archery well so that I won't be laughed at by those people again."
"The women of our Great Jin are second to none, even surpassing the men."
Another person quickly added, "That's right! Who says that women of the Great Jin Dynasty only know how to play the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting? We'll definitely teach those people a lesson in the future. Today, the princess has won glory for us. From now on, we must strive for it ourselves."
"Yes, we have to fight for it ourselves. Martial arts and archery are not only for men, nor are they something that belongs exclusively to the children of the grasslands. We can do it too."
Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, Jiang Yimian just smiled.
She won today not in vain, as she showed the women of the capital that martial arts and archery were not something that belonged to anyone alone.
Rather than humiliating the Tuyuhun people, she would rather hear about their changes.
No one is born obligated to do anything or follow rules. Everyone is an independent individual and should have independent thoughts.
These young ladies from prominent families in the capital were taught from a young age how to behave, and gradually everyone got used to it, never thinking about whether they really liked those rules and learning.
It's a good thing to be able to discard those stereotypes, learn new skills, and try things that are different from the past.
Seeing that there was no need to continue the Autumn Chrysanthemum Banquet, Jiang Yimian was about to tell Xie Yu that she was going back when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
Jiang Yimian looked at the person in front of her and said calmly, "What is it?"
Aguzan chuckled softly, looking down at her intently, and said, "I've helped you today, aren't you going to say thank you?"
He became increasingly interested in the person in front of him. He had heard that this person was just an ordinary commoner before being made a princess, and he didn't believe that an ordinary commoner could be so powerful.
He knew Abiya's archery skills better than anyone; even his father had praised them since she was a child. Yet now, she was suffering a crushing defeat at this man's hands.
This truly surprised him, especially after discovering the man's precise aim, which made him even more curious about him.
Who would believe that someone with such accuracy is just an ordinary citizen?
Jiang Yimian frowned, somewhat taken aback, before suddenly realizing something and exclaiming in surprise, "Did you bring those people here?"
She thought it was Xie Yu, but she never expected it to be the person in front of her.
Whether she wins or loses, it doesn't seem to have much to do with this person.
She lost, so the focus of the people in the capital would naturally be on her, and they wouldn't have a good impression of Tuyuhun; in fact, they would dislike them even more.
If she wins, it will only be Tuyuhun that loses face.
These people in front of him couldn't have been unaware of this, yet he still brought so many people to the princess's residence; no one knew what his purpose was.
Even if it was because Abiya was a member of the faction of the eldest prince of Tuyuhun and he was at odds with him, it wouldn't warrant doing something so damaging to the prestige of the country.
She really couldn't understand the person in front of her.
Aguzan smiled, his handsome face now showing a hint of friendliness, but his bright eyes seemed to hold a touch of allure. "The princess is indeed intelligent. No wonder she was able to rescue General Wei from dire straits in Qingnan. I truly admire her."
