"I didn't expect the princess to be able to turn defeat into victory."
"The princess is worthy of being the most talented woman in Daxia."
"No, I won't lose." Tuoba Yan suddenly screamed and covered her ears tightly with her hands.
Everyone looked at each other.
Chen Jingxi felt a little embarrassed. She seemed to have hurt a girl's self-confidence.
"Winning and losing are common on the chessboard, Princess. How about I play another game with you?"
"You...you..." Tuoba Yan's face turned purple with anger. He pointed at Chen Jingxi and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Everyone looked at Chen Jingxi, "Princess, what you said is so cruel!"
Chu Jingyue smiled and said, "Third Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. I thought you were going to lose just now."
Xie An also said: "Yes! The princess's chess game is really unpredictable. We have benefited a lot today!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Chen Jingxi bowed and said, "Thank you all for your support. Well, if life wasn't a burden, who would be willing to acquire so many talents? It's not easy to be a princess these days! You really can't do it without showing some real skills."
The Emperor applauded and laughed, "Hahaha, Princess Su is indeed the most talented woman in Great Xia. Princess Su wins this match. What do you think, Fifth Prince?"
Tuoba Wu glanced at Chen Jingxi with a complicated expression, then stood up and said, "Princess Su is both talented and beautiful. I admire her. Why doesn't Ayan apologize to Princess Su?"
Chen Jingxi was about to say she was being polite, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she was puzzled. An apology? What she had said was the etiquette of kneeling and bowing. Did Tuoba Wu think he could just let it go with just an apology?
Isn't this too much? She is not a generous person. When playing, you have to be able to afford to lose, and of course you have to be happy when you win. If the chips are not given correctly, it will not do.
Chen Jingxi coughed lightly, "Hanyu, play music."
After saying that, he turned to Tuoba Yan and said with a smile: "Princess Tuoba, you can kneel now."
Tuoba Yan's face suddenly turned pale. As a princess of Xiqi, she had only half-knew the emperor of Daxia. Now she was asked to kneel as a princess. How could she gain a foothold in Daxia in the future? She couldn't afford to lose face for Xiqi.
Now, everyone stared at Tuoba Yan.
Chen Jingxi sneered, "Princess, why are you unwilling to fulfill your bet? You just swore solemnly that if I won, you would kneel before me. Now you want to go back on your word? I thought you women from Xiqi would keep your word."
Tuoba Yan's face turned red and blue, his fists clenched, and he had no intention of kneeling down to Chen Jingxi.
At this time, everyone was talking about it.
Chen Jingxi was not in a hurry. She returned to sit next to Chu Jinghuai and said, "Your Highness, this princess won by accident, and you have no chance to marry the princess."
Chu Jinghuai smiled and said, "I thank the princess for not giving me this opportunity. After much thought, I still think that the princess is the most suitable for me."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that I wasn't suitable for you before?"
"Never before has this happened. This prince and the princess are a match made in heaven, otherwise why would the emperor father have granted us this marriage?"
If Chen Jingxi didn't know how he treated her before, she would have actually believed his nonsense. This man always spoke in a serious tone, which was too deceptive.
Now, the expressions of many women who secretly admired Chu Jinghuai became much gloomier.
Tuoba Yan's face looked even uglier. Her fight had become a joke, and she had also lost the dignity of a princess of her country.
Chen Jingxi looked at Tuoba Yan, sighed, and said, "Well, if the princess really doesn't want to, I'm not the kind of person who would force you. After all, there are very few people in this world who keep their words like me. On the contrary, those who like to make empty promises are as numerous as the fish in the sea."
As Chen Jingxi said this, many people nodded in agreement.
She continued, "But everyone here today is a witness. As the protagonist of this marriage, the princess represents the credibility and authority of Xiqi. Now, everything she says seems like child's play. So, can we still trust Xiqi's words?"
When she said this, Tuoba Wu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is just a joke between two girls. It doesn't count. This time, Xiqi sincerely wants to marry Daxia. If we ruin the marriage because of a joke, I'm afraid we will be laughed at by the world. Don't you agree?"
The emperor pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "The prince is right, Princess Su. I think the princess is young and playful, and what she said was just a joke. Don't take it too seriously. Let's just let this matter go."
Chen Jingxi sneered after hearing this. Although he was unwilling, he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he lowered his head and agreed. "Father, you are absolutely right."
She understood that it was a matter between countries, and an emperor would not do anything to a princess of another country just because of a bet with a princess.
At this moment, Chu Jinghuai sneered, his voice low and powerful, with a hint of mockery: "Father, if this is a joke, why bother to personally intervene in this matter? Besides, is my princess the subject of a joke?"
Chu Jinghuai's words were like sharp swords, pointing directly at the emperor and Tuoba Wu, making everyone present feel a chill.
Chen Jingxi looked at him gratefully, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. This kind of unreasonable protection was really fucking good.
The smile on the emperor's face froze instantly. It was Princess Xiqi who was unreasonable in the first place. If he spoke again, all the court officials would probably advise him against it, which would undoubtedly increase Chu Jinghuai's prestige, which would not be worth the loss.
"Jing Huai's words make sense. You and the princess should resolve this matter privately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jingyue hurriedly said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, father doesn't care anymore, you should make Princess Tuoba kneel down."
Hearing this, the emperor scolded, "Jingyue, what are you doing? Sit back down. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be sent back to your Jing'an Palace."
