Wu Qing, wearing a simple and neat martial arts uniform, took the lead and crossed the finish line.

She put her hands on her hips, a layer of fine beads of sweat seeped out of her slightly red forehead, and her chest rose and fell rhythmically.

"Your Highnesses need more practice."

Wu Qing smiled slightly, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

The eldest prince and the second prince, who had reached the finish line, stared at her weakly.

The eldest prince swallowed the blood foam in his throat with great difficulty and said intermittently: "You...you are lying! You never said before that you would also participate in this competition!"

Wu Qing spread his hands innocently: "I never said I wouldn't participate."

The eldest prince then realized that he and his second brother had been fooled by Concubine Ji.

She hadn't intended to give him a chance to ask more questions from the beginning.

Wu Qing said: "In fact, I have restrained myself a lot. I didn't expect you to be so weak that you can't even run 2,000 meters."

[No wonder Xiong Er died in an assassination attempt, and Xiong Da became a fat man after ascending the throne. With this physical fitness, if it weren't for the gender restriction, the throne would definitely belong to Xi Yan.]

The second prince shouted weakly, "Because this is our first morning run! Just wait and see! We will definitely outrun you tomorrow!"

Even though he was about to faint from exhaustion, the Second Prince was still speaking shamelessly.

He sat down and fell to the side of the road in an ungraceful manner.

Wu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I look forward to your performance."

[I was always among the top three in the city's high school female long-distance running group. It's easy for me to deal with you two little Karamis who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, right?]

"Get up first. It's not good for your health to sit down right after running," she reminded.

Sitting down suddenly after running will cause "gravity shock".

This is because the body's blood circulation changes suddenly and the brain does not get enough blood supply, which causes dizziness and is extremely harmful to the body.

The second prince didn't care. He picked up a stone from the roadside and threw it at her, saying viciously, "None of your business is my business!"

Wu Qing shrugged and turned to leave, "Take a break and then go eat. Remember to go to the study room on time. The teachers will be there on time."

After saying this, she left the eldest prince and the second prince without any reluctance, without even a word of extra concern for them.

The eldest prince took the handkerchief handed to him by the palace maid and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Your Highness, how do you feel? Do you need me to call the imperial physician?" the maid asked worriedly.

The eldest prince waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

Mr. Ji is right, he should indeed exercise more.

My father paid attention to civil officials and focused on their studies, but neglected their physical training.

If this continues, I am afraid that these princes and princesses will not be able to fight in the battlefield, let alone run normally in their daily lives.

Thinking back to the agile figure of Concubine Ji, the eldest prince couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart.

She was about the same age as them, but she was able to run the same distance and still look calm and composed, as if it was effortless.

As a man, he had a natural advantage in physique, and he was carefully cared for by the imperial physician, so he was confident that he could definitely beat others. But now, he didn't even have the strength to compete with Lady Ji.

The eldest prince walked over to the second prince and handed his hand to his brother who was lying on the ground, as if he wanted to pull him up.

The second prince looked up and stared at him in confusion.

The eldest prince tilted his head and said, "Can't you get up? Lady Ji said that sitting down after running is not good for your health."

"Don't be so hypocritical!" The second prince slapped his hand away, supported himself on the ground, and struggled to stand up.

He glared at the eldest prince and shouted, "I will definitely run faster than you tomorrow!"

The eldest prince remained noncommittal.

"It's up to you. I'm going to eat first." The eldest prince, whose hand was slapped away, was not angry. He said a few words lightly and turned away.

At this time, the second prince's eunuch came over with a flattering look on his face and reported in a soft voice: "Second Prince, breakfast is ready. They are all your favorite dishes. They are all placed in the room, waiting for you to go back and enjoy them."

As the young eunuch spoke, he carefully put the fur coat on the second prince.

The second prince clenched his lips and stared at the eldest prince's departing back with deep eyes.

He knew he shouldn't be so impulsive, but whenever he faced the eldest prince, he could never control his emotions.

"Your Highness?"

Seeing that the Second Prince remained silent for a long time, the young eunuch couldn't help but remind him.

"What are you arguing about?" The Second Prince said impatiently, "Breakfast is removed. Your Highness will eat in the dining hall today."

"Food house?"

The young eunuch was stunned. "But... Your Highness, didn't you say before that you would never eat at the same table with His Highness?"

The servants of the prince's residence had long been accustomed to the tension between the two.

Originally, the princes had a special dining room for them to eat together and enhance brotherhood. But ever since the eldest and second princes had a falling out, the second prince's meals were brought to his room by servants.

In general, it means reducing all chances of meeting.

"What? The eldest prince can go to the dining hall, but I can't?" The second prince flicked his sleeves, said something dissatisfied, and walked hurriedly towards the dining hall.

The young eunuch gave someone a helpless look and quickly followed the Second Prince.

Well, the master is going crazy again.

The second prince rushed into the dining room in a hurry and sat down in the seat opposite the eldest prince with great fanfare.

The eldest prince buried his head in his food, glanced at him, and continued to bury his head, as if he didn't exist.

The second prince snorted coldly and didn't give him a good look. He asked the servants to serve his meal.

Just like that, the two of them finished their breakfast in a contest of silence.

As soon as the morning hour arrived, the eldest prince and the second prince arrived at the study room on time according to their schedule.

Wu Qing was wearing a loose scholar's robe and standing outside the door waiting for them.

Before the two of them had time to greet her, they saw Master Xun walking out of the door with a serious look on his face.

The white-haired Master Xun said to Wu Qing in a deep voice, "This is the upper study room. Women are not allowed to enter."

"The Emperor and the Empress indulge your nonsense, but I won't allow it."

"My lord, please go back."
