Qi Dongqiang staggered a step when she heard that. She was so arrogant just now, but now she was at a loss and panicked. She couldn't help but look around, as if asking for help, looking for someone to give her a way out.
She couldn't apologize, couldn't announce to the world that she was changing her name, and certainly couldn't... eat shit.
Qi Dongqiang remained silent. Zhao Ying glanced at Nanny Li, who brought three bowls of wine and handed them to Qi Dongqiang. "Captain Qi, drink this first!"
Qi Dongqiang frowned as she stared at the three overflowing bowls of wine. Her expression instantly blended into the thick night. She suddenly looked at Zhao Ying and said aggressively, "Princess, do you really have to humiliate me like this?"
"Everyone here has witnessed it with your own eyes. I came here to celebrate the princess's relocation, but she looked down on me. She deliberately set a trap for me to compete with her, causing me to lose the bet!" She sighed bitterly, "I can only blame myself for growing up among men and not understanding the intrigues and calculations of women!"
"Princess, you are so cunning, aren't you afraid that if your schemes get out, people will accuse you of mistreating your generals? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers of the Great Chu?"
"If you insist on humiliating me," she said, looking around with a look of willingness to sacrifice herself, "I would rather die than be humiliated!"
After saying that, she picked up a bowl of wine and smashed it hard on the ground.
Zhao Ying hugged Shangguan Qingyue and remained silent.
Shangguan Qingyue slowly shook his head, "I've never seen such a shameless person..."
[You can't stand losing and you still blame others...]
[First cry, then make a scene, then hang yourself, I've made it clear to you that I'm responsible.]
[This is like roasting my mother on the fire. Look how angry she is. She even laughed...]
The little guy looked up at Zhao Ying and saw that Zhao Ying raised the corners of her lips slightly and looked at Qi Dongqiang with a smile.
The little guy crossed his arms, "Hmph! I'm not angry. A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"
Zhao Ying suddenly lowered her eyes and sighed, "Captain Qi, what are you talking about? How could I possibly humiliate you?"
"It was you who insisted on competing with me. I didn't want to, but you provoked me. From your tone, I thought Captain Qi's archery skills were superb. Who knew..."
Zhao Ying's tone was strange, which made Qi Dongqiang's face flushed and he became more and more angry and embarrassed.
"But these are all minor matters. What I'm concerned about is that you humiliated Miss Ma in the court earlier. Lord Ma is a civil official, and you are a military commander. I simply want to avoid a conflict between the civil and military officials and ask you to apologize, so that the matter can be resolved peacefully."
"But I see that you don't seem willing?"
Zhao Ying's tone was always low and soft, without a trace of emotion, which was consistent with her usual image: a kind and generous princess who did not fight or compete.
Everyone felt that Zhao Ying was right after hearing what she said. Zhao Ying was originally in the right, and it was Qi Dongqiang who was being unreasonable and shameless. However, it was this shamelessness that made it impossible to deal with her.
Everyone deeply understood the saying: When a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly. Even the scholar cannot explain himself clearly, let alone the pure and genuine Zhao Ying?
There was a hint of worry in Wei Fu's eyes.
Qi Dongqiang sneered, "If what the princess said is really what she thinks, then I would like to ask why I have to apologize and what I have done wrong."
Zhao Ying seemed to be stumped by her question. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. Qi Dongqiang sneered at this.
The next second, Zhao Ying said helplessly, "Since you think it's right, then I won't care. It's none of my business anyway. This bet...if you don't agree..." Zhao Ying took a deep breath, her face gloomy, "Forget it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Dongqiang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
The Crown Princess was furious. She pulled Zhao Ying over and whispered, "Ying'er, why do you have to bow your head to her? Look at her, she's so proud of herself. It's making me so angry!"
Zhao Ying said nothing and shook her head patiently at the Crown Princess.
As if he had been humiliated and didn't want to see Qi Dongqiang again, he coldly dismissed the visitor, "It's too late, Captain Qi, please kneel down and pay your respects!"
Although he drove her away, Qi Dongqiang didn't show any embarrassment. Instead, his expression became more and more rampant, which made people hate him so much. But Zhao Ying had already let her go, so what else could others say.
Qi Dongqiang bowed deeply, his eyes filled with provocation, "Since Your Highness is tired, I will take my leave!"
A female relative had seen Qi Dongqiang favoring boys over girls all night and had long disliked her. Seeing her leaving, she became even more indignant, "Bah! Too clear water has no fish, too cheap a person has no rivals! God is watching what people do, and sooner or later someone will take care of her!"
Seeing that Zhao Ying was defeated, would the guests still stay?
They also said goodbye.
Wei Fu wanted to persuade Zhao Ying, but was chased away by Zhao Ying. He looked at Shangguan Shu unwillingly, wanting to take him away as well. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Shu picked up Shangguan Qiyou and said, "Qiyou, can daddy play chess with you?"
"Okay, okay!"
Wei Fu: ...
Wei Fu suddenly looked at Shangguan Qingyue in Zhao Ying's arms. Just as he was about to speak, Shangguan Qingyue waved at him, "Goodbye, uncle..."
Wei Fu: ...
Wei Fu had no choice but to leave angrily.
Seeing Wei Fu leave, Shangguan Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. [What a close call! For my supreme status as the youngest daughter, I can't have a stepfather, and I can't let any man get close to my mother! ]
Zhao Ying: ...
Shangguan Shu loves his little daughter to death. She is truly his own daughter and she understands everything very quickly!
Shangguan Qingwan was suspicious. Didn't they say Yue'er was a demon child before? How did she become a demon girl again?
Never mind, she is her favorite little sister... Shangguan Qingwan was busy getting angry, "Mother, why did you let that captain go? She is so arrogant!"
She then looked at Shangguan Shu with dissatisfaction, "Daddy, isn't she your subordinate? She bullied Mom, you go and deal with her!"
Shangguan Shu raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Your mother will make the decision herself."
Shangguan Qingwan was puzzled, and Shangguan Bailin explained to her, "Big sister, why are you angry?"
“Why am I not angry?”
Shangguan Bailin said matter-of-factly, "You shouldn't be angry... If that captain had listened to mother, he would have been humiliated at best. But now, she's blaming me on the surface, but in reality... she's finished."
The other children were puzzled, and Zhao Ying did not explain to them. Instead, she said something to Zhang Duan. After that, Zhang Duan's face lit up and he left immediately.
Zhao Ying patted Shangguan Qingwan's head and said, "You did a great job today. No matter how angry you are, don't show it in front of others. This will make people look down on you."
Shangguan Qingwan smiled sweetly when her mother praised her.
Shangguan Qingyue's eyebrows drooped, and she looked up at Zhao Ying, "Mother, was Yue'er wrong for quarreling with someone today?"
Seeing the little guy's aggrieved look, Zhao Ying felt distressed. She lowered her head and kissed the little guy on the face again and again, "Yuer did nothing wrong. Yuer is a little baby. She loves her mother, right?"
Shangguan Qingyue deliberately kept a stern face, snuggled into Zhao Ying's arms, and laughed secretly, "Hehe, Mommy kissed me again, I'm so happy, so happy..."
Upon hearing this, my father, mother, brother and sister smiled knowingly.
