Chapter 499: Promising Girls
But Liu Jian soon discovered that the speed at which he grew physically and mentally was slower than the speed at which he was beaten.
Two days later, he came back with a bruised face and nose.
At that time, Prince Yan was walking in the garden with Princess Yan.
Seeing his own son being beaten, the King of Yan was immediately furious. He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Who beat him?"
This is not taking him seriously.
He really wanted to go and fight back for his son immediately.
The Princess of Yan, however, looked at Liu Jian calmly and said, "Lost the fight? Is there any way to win it back?"
Prince Yan is just worrying about nothing.
Looking at Liu Jian's expression, he seemed to be dissatisfied but not sad at all.
"I'm afraid we can't win it back now." Liu Jian said dejectedly.
There is no way to be dissatisfied, there is indeed a gap in everyone's strength.
"What happened? Who beat you?" King Yan was anxious. "Tell your father. Your father will support you."
"Forget it, Father, you can't help me."
The more Liu Jian said this, the more angry the King of Yan became.
Are you kidding? He is a prince and he is definitely no match for the crown prince. Who else should he be afraid of?
It can't be that the prince beat his own son.
"Just say it!"
"It's a little girl." Liu Jian blushed.
King Yan: "...little girl?"
Princess Yan frowned, "Where did this little girl come from?"
"The Master's wife brought it."
The master's wife mentioned here was actually Jiang Yi.
After the Fifth Young Master took over Longtao Pavilion, Jiang Yi had nothing to do and would occasionally go to bring him food.
Because the Queen Mother liked her very much, she could often enter the palace without any hindrance.
But Jiang Yi is a man of upright character.
When it comes to studying, she can't pretend to know everything and give orders.
But when it comes to martial arts, riding and archery, she can be considered an ancestor.
He's the emperor's grandson. If all her subordinates were so hunched and weak, she would call them "sons of bastards".
I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.
You know, these people will inherit the title in the future.
The princes of this dynasty were granted fiefdoms in various places, and many of them had military power.
Jiang Yi would be really worried if he let these people lead the troops in the future.
So Jiang Yi, who was outspoken, went straight to see the Queen Mother.
——She wants to open the eyes of these frogs in the well.
They were provided with fine clothes and delicious food, and taught by the best teachers, but in the end, they produced such ridiculous things!
The Queen Mother not only agreed, but also came to "watch the battle" with great interest.
——Jiang Yi selected a dozen outstanding girls from those she taught in Daya School and brought them into the palace.
In order to avoid the suspicion of "bullying the weak", she also deliberately chose girls of the same age as her grandchildren based on their ages.
The girls were very competitive and beat the emperor's grandsons so badly that they left them pissing and shitting.
Others were actually fine, after all, they gave up quickly.
But Liu Jian is both incompetent and stubborn.
Unfortunately, I was unlucky and met a stubborn person.
If he dared to resist, the other party would continue to beat him.
And Jiang Yi was cheering beside him.
The result was that Liu Jian returned with a bump on his head and a bruised face.
After the King of Yan heard the whole story, even his overflowing fatherly love could not cover up his contempt.
"You're useless. Let a girl be beaten like this."
The Princess of Yan said, "In this world, the strong do not discriminate by gender. Well, Jian'er, next time you meet that girl, just stay away from her."
Liu Jian clenched his fists tightly, "Mother, I will defeat her!"
"Use your mouth?" Princess Yan said lightly.
Liu Jian: "...I'll go practice now."
After saying that, he went back to his yard angrily.
The King of Yan called out from behind, "Hey, wait, Jian'er, you need medicine for your wound!"
"It's far from his heart," Princess Yan said. "Don't be so nervous. He's just been spoiled by us."
The King of Yan disagreed, but he did not dare to object.
His poor son.
I don’t know which girl is so amazing, I’m curious.
If his son is like him and admires strong men, then maybe the two of them will be destined to be together in the future.
But when this matter got out, others came to Princess Yan to sow discord.
Princess Yan's eyes were filled with tears, and I felt pity for her. "How can I have any say in what's going on outside? Have pity on my Jian'er."
Others could only comfort her and speak ill of Jiang Yi.
Princess Yan looked pitiful and said, "Miss Jiang, you have the merits of your father and brother behind you. What can I do?"
Princess Yan’s daily life in front of outsiders: I can’t say anything, I can’t do anything, I can only cry.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were very angry about this matter.
"I know you favor the crown prince, but can a single crown prince truly support the country in the future? Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight in battle. Without the support of his brothers, will he be left alone to defend the vast territories?"
The emperor repeatedly apologized: "Mother, they are all my children and grandchildren. How could I deliberately raise them to be useless?"
"No matter what you think, the fact is this. They can't even beat a group of women their own age. In my opinion, it would be better to let those girls take up arms and fight in the future. They would be more reliable than them."
"Your Majesty Queen, your words truly put your son to shame."
"Your Majesty, you are my own flesh and blood. You are kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and skilled in both civil and military matters. You are the best among your brothers," the Empress Dowager said. "Your father loves you the most, so you were named Crown Prince at the age of seven, and your position is secure. Over the years, you have lived up to your father's expectations. But—"
"If you are unworthy of your position and narrow-minded, even if you were born from my womb, I would not let your father appoint you as the crown prince!"
"My son's future is important, but the safety of our country is more important!"
"Think about it again. It's human nature to favor one person, but you're so biased. For him, you're willing to cripple your other descendants. If something happens to him in the future, will you leave this country and its people behind?"
Seeing that the empress dowager was extremely angry, the emperor knelt down and confessed his crime.
"I am already old. How many more years can I live? Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
After the empress dowager finished speaking, she left without even letting the emperor get up, which showed how angry she was.
Teng Wenfu hurriedly helped the emperor up.
The emperor didn't speak for a long time.
Competition is actually a very small matter, and it doesn’t matter if you lose.
The Queen Mother was actually somewhat "taking advantage of the situation" to express her dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince.
"Teng Wenfu, tell me, did I do something wrong?"
