"Hmph," Xian Xian'er snorted coldly upon hearing this, "After all, you still don't want me to marry Prince Jingling."
"Ari, I have already said that she is not smart. Why are you wasting your breath and exhausting yourself? I will feel bad for you." Gu Qingchen spoke suddenly, and his words shocked everyone.
Is this...something Prince Jingling could say?
Jiang Li also got goosebumps, but in order to stimulate Xian Xian'er, she still had to take on this role.
"Your Highness is absolutely right. Since Princess Xian'er refuses to listen to my kind advice, then let the Emperor make the final decision."
The emperor's expression of eating melon was too exaggerated. After all, Gu Qingchen was her nominal husband, and Jiang Li still had to protect him to some extent.
After saying that, she walked back to her seat and placed her hand naturally in Gu Qingchen's palm, making all the other female relatives envious.
Especially Xian Xianer.
"Your Majesty, this princess is not an unreasonable person." Xian Xian'er looked at the men's seats. She had to say that although she didn't like Jiang Li very much, Jiang Li's proposal made her very moved. However, she just couldn't stand Jiang Li!
"How about a martial arts competition to find a husband? No matter what, this princess is determined to marry a hero. If no one here can defeat me, then I must marry the God of War Prince!"
Xian Xian'er raised her eyebrows. Since this group of people tried to stop her in every possible way, she must embarrass Daning, just to vent her anger.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion in the venue.
It was a well-known fact that the women of the Xianbei Kingdom were skilled in fighting. However, she was a woman after all, and no matter how strong her skills were, she would not be defeated.
Especially the young men who come from a family of military generals have shining eyes. It is a rare opportunity to show off in front of the emperor. Anyone who doesn't do it is a fool!
"allow."
If a young man from Daning can't even beat a woman, it would be laughable to tell others about it!
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a man came forward first.
"The son of Admiral Wang," Gu Qingchen introduced Jiang Li with his side profile. "I heard he's quite skilled and will be joining the army this year."
Putting a peeled grape in his mouth, Jiang Li nodded and said, "He looks good." He can be considered sunny and handsome.
"It's not bad." The man's voice suddenly turned cold. Jiang Li was stunned and looked at Gu Qingchen in disbelief. No way, big brother, someone as handsome as you also has appearance anxiety? How can you not listen to others' compliments?
Of course, Jiang Li didn't say it out loud, because after just five moves, Young Master Wang was already stepped on the ground by Xian Xian'er.
Jiang Li: !!! What a fierce woman!
But soon, she discovered something was wrong.
After Young Master Wang was carried off the stage, several young masters from aristocratic families who were good at fighting were beaten badly.
After three or five moves, he was completely unable to fight back.
"There's a problem." Jiang Li narrowed his eyes, and Gu Qingchen nodded, "You found it too?"
The bells on Xian Xian'er's body moved as she leaned forward, and the sounds they made were confusing.
"Oh no." Jiang Li put down the grapes in her hand, took a closer look and whispered, "The young master of the Yushi family is in danger."
Seeing Xian Xian'er thrusting the sword straight forward, Lin Ding was stunned.
"clang!"
The sword was knocked away in front of his eyes. Lin Ding looked back and saw that it was the prince who made the move.
"The duel should end in a timely manner. What does Princess Xian'er mean?"
The emperor's tone was very unhappy. Seven people had been killed in a row. Daning was completely humiliated!
Xian Xian'er put away her sword and smiled, her face full of sarcasm. "To answer your Majesty, in a martial arts competition, there are bound to be accidents. If they are afraid, I will just give in!"
"Your Majesty, this is..."
Jiang Li took out a pill from the system using the cover of her sleeve.
After hearing Xian Xian'er's words, the emperor's face darkened.
"Princess Xian'er, everyone is just looking at you because you're a princess and they're worried about hurting you, so they're giving you some leeway. How come you can't... tell the difference between good and bad?"
Jiang Li spoke slowly, and Xian Xian'er immediately became angry. "Hmph, Princess Jingling doesn't have to make up for them. The men of Daning are not good enough, and that's really the case!"
"Then Princess, are you willing to make a bet with me?"
"I will pick someone at random. You all sign a military order. No matter what happens during the competition, you must not stop until the winner is determined. If the princess loses, she will marry the other person directly. If the princess wins, I agree that you can marry Prince Jingling."
"Princess, you can't!"
This girl looks quite clever, why is she saying such silly things now? The Queen remembered the Queen Mother's instructions and was worried that Jiang Li had been wronged, so she quickly spoke to stop her.
"Don't worry, Queen." Jiang Li gave her a reassuring look, then looked at Xian Xian'er, "Princess, do you dare to agree?"
"Are you serious?"
Xian Xian'er almost laughed out loud.
In fact, her kung fu is only above average, but with Huanling by her side, she is not afraid.
"This princess agrees."
"I wonder who the princess is going to choose to appear?"
The emperor knew that this competition concerned the reputation of Daning. He both agreed with and was worried about Jiang Li's proposal.
"The prince said that the young master of the Rong family is quite skilled. Would you like to give it a try?"
Rong Ming, whose name was suddenly called, quickly stood up and said, "Ming, I'm willing to give it a try."
The Rong family is a hereditary marquisate, and the current marquis is Rong Feng, the head of the Rong family and Rong Ming's elder brother.
As an idle second-generation son, Rong Ming has always been the one who has never been noticed in the crowd. It’s just that the Rong family has a good family tradition. Although he has not achieved great achievements, he is not a playboy.
The reason why Jiang Li noticed him was because he remembered that the book mentioned that there was a young master in the Rong family who went to the Qin Mansion alone to avenge his brother, but was dismembered by Qin Ji's men.
Naturally, she would not let Qin Ji succeed again.
Looking at this young man whom he had never had any impression of before, the emperor was a little skeptical, but since he was recommended by Gu Qingchen, he should have some ability.
What's more, he is the young master of the Zhonghou Mansion and does not need to inherit the title. If he really marries Xian Xian'er, it will be a perfect match and the best choice.
"Princess Jingling, are you sure I won't beat him to tears?"
Rong Ming has a baby face, and considering the emperor's reaction, Xian Xian'er felt that Jiang Li was teasing her.
"Princess Xian'er, since you want to issue a military order, I will not show mercy."
Rong Ming was inherently passionate, but due to his family's status, he had to keep a low profile and avoid attracting too much attention. Seeing the Xianbei princess' provocation, he would have wanted to challenge her if his brother hadn't stopped him.
"Wait." Before the competition began, Gu Qingchen stood up from his seat and walked in front of Rong Ming.
He patted Rong Ming's shoulder, and when no one was paying attention, he put the black pill Jiang Li had given him into Rong Ming's hand and whispered, "She has a phantom bell, which can be cured."
Then he said loudly, "You have to think carefully. If you win, you will marry her."
Rong Ming usually had nothing but respect for this War God Prince, but this was the first time he had been so close to Prince Jingling. Adding to the concern expressed by the person he admired, Rong Ming excitedly bowed, "I will definitely not bring shame to Daning."
