Chapter 53 The Damn Desire to Win



Chu Jinghuai returned her look and said, "It won't be me anyway, so there's no need for you, Princess."

Chen Jingxi moved her body and whispered, "If you want to marry me, I can ask to leave the palace myself."

Chu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This prince likes people like the princess. Her figure and appearance are not outstanding. She is very reassuring when she looks at her."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jingxi's face darkened instantly. Although her figure and appearance were not the best, they were still top-notch!

"Your Highness, I suggest you get an eye exam. I have an S-shaped figure, a nice waist and a nice butt. My breasts are at least a C cup. Look at my skin, my pores, it's so smooth it's almost as if you're holding back. Yet, you're saying I'm unremarkable. You're saying I'm unremarkable."

Chu Jinghuai frowned slightly. This woman was twisting her body in public without any hesitation, talking about her butt and breasts. Although he didn't quite understand what she said, he knew what she was talking about.

For a moment, I felt like I was being a bit mean. Why did I talk about her figure? How could I not know what her figure was like?

"Ahem, Chen Jingxi, do you think these are words you, a princess, can say?"

Chen Jingxi rolled her eyes at him. "Why can't I say it? Don't you have a butt or breasts, Your Highness? You're such a pedantic old man."

"Chen Jingxi!" Chu Jinghuai gritted his teeth.

A drop of cold sweat slid down the back of Chen Jingxi's head. This man was about to lose his temper again. His life was at stake. "Hey, don't be angry, Your Highness. I was wrong. I apologize."

As she said this, she picked up the wine glass, poured him a glass, put it to his mouth, and pressed his head to make him drink it.

"Your Highness, you can't get angry after drinking the wine this princess offers you!"

Chu Jinghuai almost choked and snorted through his nose.

Chen Jingxi's voice was not loud, but the noise of his toast was quite loud.

Everyone was petrified after watching this. It was difficult to comment on the way Prince Su and his wife got along.

The emperor's face darkened as he looked at her. He was about to speak when Wen Yunzhi beside him spoke first: "Your Majesty, Prince Su and Princess Consort have been married for over three years and are still deeply in love."

Hearing Wen Yunzhi's words, the emperor's anger instantly dissipated, and he smiled and said, "My beloved concubine is right."

Tuoba Wu, who was standing opposite, came over with a wine glass in hand and said, "When I arrived here, I heard that your country had a Princess Su, who was considered the most talented woman in Daxia. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed worthy of her reputation. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Jingxi waved his hand and said, "I dare not, I dare not, I rely on my peers to set off."

"Haha, the prince toasts the princess."

Chen Jingxi raised his glass and drank it all.

"The princess is indeed generous. I feel like I've known her for a long time."

Chen Jingxi thought to himself: Who would hit it off with you at first sight? I told you last time that I didn’t like you. You are so shameless.

"Speaking of which, the Fifth Prince looks somewhat familiar to me. A few days ago, Miss Huaying from Zuiyue Tower performed a dance and selected a partner. This person looked somewhat similar to the Fifth Prince. I wonder if that person is... a relative of the Fifth Prince?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Tuoba Wu. Many people present knew Miss Hua Ying from Zuiyue Tower and had heard about what happened a few days ago. If that person was the Prince of Xiqi, then what was his intention in coming to the capital secretly?

Tuoba Wu frowned slightly. He didn't expect Chen Jingxi to talk about this matter so openly. How could she, a princess, have the nerve to say that she was squeezed in a group of men and watched the courtesan dance?

"Princess, you've misunderstood. My prince has never left the diplomatic mission, and it's even more impossible for any of his relatives to sneak into Daxia."

Chen Jingxi smiled faintly, "Is that so? Perhaps this princess made a mistake."

"People are similar, and goods are the same. I personally went to receive these five princes, so it is naturally impossible for them to leave the delegation." Prince Rong said as he walked over.

Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Since Prince Rong said so, then this princess must have been wrong."

"Hahaha, Third Sister-in-law, there are times when you misjudge someone."

"Ninth brother, it's been a while since we last met. Hasn't Third Sister-in-law thanked you for what happened last time?"

Chu Jingyue smiled awkwardly and touched the wound on his face. "Third sister-in-law, it's not necessary. Third brother has already thanked you."

Chen Jingxi glanced at Chu Jinghuai and thought to herself that this man was quite sensible. "Thank him. Sister-in-law will treat you to a meal some other day."

Chu Jingyue bowed and said, "Then Jingyue would like to thank the Third Emperor's wife first."

As they were talking, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "This princess has heard that Princess Su's chess skills are unmatched in the world."

Everyone looked towards Tuoba Yan following the sound.

Chen Jingxi smiled faintly. After the princess came in, she didn't say a word. Even when it came to the marriage between the two countries, as the protagonist, she didn't utter a word.

Now, when I say this, am I praising her?

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Princess. This chess skill is the most insignificant of my many strengths."

Tuoba Yue was stunned. Who told her that Daxia was a country of courtesy and humility? How could this Princess Su not be humble at all?

"This princess has had the good fortune to learn chess from Mr. Ye for two years, and I consider myself quite accomplished. Today, I would like to play a game of chess with the princess. What do you think?"

Everyone turned around to look at Chen Jingxi. They had only seen Princess Su solve the endgame but had never seen her play chess, so they were naturally curious.

After hearing this, Chen Jingxi frowned slightly. She was really annoyed. After she traveled through time, her peaceful days didn't last long. All kinds of provocative people kept appearing one after another. After sending away one princess, another one came. When this ends, it seems like it will never end.

Just as Chen Jingxi was lost in thought, Chu Jinghuai beside him said, "I will accept it on behalf of the princess."

Chen Jingxi looked at Chu Jinghuai speechlessly, her eyes questioning: "Why do you make decisions for me? Are you my agent? And you just agreed to it for me? Don't you know how stressful this is?"

Tuoba Yue smiled and said, "Princess Su is unwilling?"

Chen Jingxi said, "After all, today is a palace banquet, so it's inconvenient. Why not ask the princess another day?"

"Why is Princess Su disdainful of being inferior to me, or is she too afraid to..."

Chen Jingxi turned her head and smiled. She just couldn't stand being provoked by others. That damn desire to win.

"Since the princess has invited me so graciously, I am naturally willing to accompany you. However, there is one thing I would like to discuss with you."

"Princess, please speak."

"Don't cry if you lose."

After hearing this, Tuoba Yue said angrily: "Princess Su, who are you looking down on? This princess will never lose to you."

Chen Jingxi spread his hands indifferently, "Then let's get started!"

"Wait a minute." Tuoba Yue said again, "Since it's a competition, there must be stakes."

Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Princess, what do you want to bet on?"
