next day
When Leng Chuyang arrived at the Crown Prince's residence with his entourage, Zhiwan and Leng Chuchen had taken Yiming to visit his maternal grandparents. Wei Changle, bored, was bullying several maids in the residence.
Holding a whip in one hand, she walked back and forth in front of several maids who were balancing bowls and bottles on their heads, constantly scolding them.
"The porcelain bowls and vases on your heads are all things I brought from the Southern Yuan Kingdom. Each one is priceless. If you break them, you can't pay for them even with your lives. So you'd better be careful. Also, whoever has something fall off their head first today, even if it doesn't break, they'll still get a beating from my whip. You'd better think it over: do you want your buttocks to be bruised and battered, or do you want to behave yourself?"
The girls' faces were contorted in pain, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.
They were just lowly maids earning only two taels of silver a month. If the priceless porcelain bowl on their heads were to break, who among them could bear the responsibility?
At this moment, a little girl, frightened and overwhelmed by the heat, collapsed to the ground. The porcelain vase above her head fell to the ground with a crash, followed by a series of shattering sounds. The little girl, terrified, knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me! I was a little dizzy just now. I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Smack!"
Her whip fell mercilessly on the little girl's back, begging for mercy with all her might.
"Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me! I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"
"Slap slap..."
Even though she kept begging for mercy, Wei Changle's whip showed no sign of stopping. She vented all the anger she had accumulated towards Luo Zhiwan and Leng Chuchen on these little maids in the Crown Prince's residence.
Just then, Leng Chuyang heard a commotion and hurried over.
When he saw this, his handsome brows furrowed instantly. He quickly stepped forward, took the whip tip that she was about to strike, frowned slightly, and pulled hard. Due to the great force, Wei Changle lost her balance and flew directly towards him.
He showed no mercy to this woman. As she lunged at him, he dodged away, causing her to fall face-first to the ground.
"ah!"
She screamed, and the maid beside her rushed over.
"Princess, Princess, are you alright?"
Wei Changle spat out the dirt in his mouth, wiped his mouth vigorously with his hand, his eyes filled with anger and hatred. He turned back to look at Leng Chuyang angrily, and then shouted angrily.
"Where did this lackey come from, daring to defy this princess? Do you want to die?"
It turned out that when she arrived in the Celestial Empire, she only saw Leng Chuchen and didn't even look at Leng Chuyang properly, nor did she even know what he looked like.
These words undoubtedly enraged the hot-blooded young Leng Chuyang.
He pulled the whip from the tip to the handle, then swung it, knocking over all the bottles and jars on the girls' heads with a series of cracks.
Amidst a series of crackling sounds and the girl's screams, Wei Changle was already breathing rapidly and her face turned deathly pale with anger.
"you……"
She pointed at him.
"You dog of a servant, do you know how much silver these things are worth? Can you afford to pay for them?"
Leng Chuyang threw the whip in his hand to the ground and snorted coldly.
"These bottles and jars are just cheap stuff to fill out the place. You can only fool these servants with them! But I advise you, if you look decent enough, you should do something decent. What's the point of making fun of these servants all day? It's really boring."
"you……"
She was really angry at the man in front of her, but judging from his clothes, he didn't seem like a servant. A servant wouldn't have such audacity.
She gritted her teeth and looked at him with half-closed eyes.
"Fine, you say it's boring for me to tease these servants? Then you'll keep this princess company and do something interesting."
What do you want?
He crossed his arms and looked back at her without fear.
"Let's have a contest. Whoever loses has to kneel down and call the other grandma."
"That won't do. I can't accept you calling me Grandma. You have to call me Grandpa."
'you……'
Wei Changle's face turned from pale to white again.
"Okay, if you lose, you kneel down and kowtow three times to me and call me Grandma. If I lose, I'll kneel down and kowtow three times to you and call you Grandpa. Is that alright?"
"become."
He agreed without hesitation.
"Tell me, what are you betting on?"
Wei Changle narrowed his eyes slightly and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The Kingdom of Nanyuan is a nation of horsemen. From childhood, she was not exposed to music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but rather to horseback riding, hunting, and competitions. She was never afraid of anyone.
"Then let's have an archery contest..."
Leng Chuyang's forehead tightened, and Wei Changle was overjoyed.
Judging from his expression, he was scared, and she was certain that his archery skills must be very poor.
She immediately crossed her arms and looked at him arrogantly.
"How about it? Scared now?"
Leng Chuyang narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his chin, and smiled.
"Afraid? I'm afraid that you'll call me grandpa later and then you'll cry and beg me."
"Hmph! Overestimating yourself. Men, prepare the arrow rakes."
Princess Chang Le had never suffered such an injustice before. She looked confident and seemed to have a sure chance of winning the game.
Crown Prince's Rear Courtyard
On a wide lawn, the maids and guards stood in two rows. Leng Chuyang and Wei Changle each held a bow and three arrows, facing the target, each striking a pose that showed they were not going to give way to each other.
"You're a woman, so I'll give in to you."
'Hmph, you think I'll let you have it? I've never been subservient to anyone when it comes to archery since I was a kid…'
