As soon as Shi Yunyue said this, the banquet suddenly became lively.
"Has Princess Yongping really reached this point? Isn't this a blatant expression of her dissatisfaction with Jiang Qiao? She wants to put him to death!"
"I've never heard of any conflict between the two."
"You know what Princess Yongping's personality is like. I guess she really finds the Jiang family girl interesting today."
"This is ridiculous. No matter how bad it is, the Jiang family girl has made contributions. Princess Yongping should not be allowed to do whatever she wants."
…
In the eyes of everyone present, Princess Yongping had deliberately come up with such a tricky trick to target Miss Jiang, but no one spoke up for Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao stood there, with no dissatisfaction on his face, just staring at Shi Yunyue's seductive eyes.
What does Princess Yongping mean?
It's difficult!
Jiang Anran was secretly happy when he saw this situation. Finally, someone could deal with Jiang Qiao.
But Ji Muhe, who was standing by, couldn't help but worry. Isn't Princess Yongping acting recklessly? Can Qiao Qiao handle it?
Ji Yan also frowned slightly and gently patted the back of Ji Muhe's hand to comfort him.
…
"Jiang Qiao, what do you think? Do you dare to play?" Shi Yunyue's peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and her smile seemed to be able to win someone's heart.
Jiang Qiao didn't reply. She was calculating her chances of survival if she agreed.
Just as everyone else was laughing at the joke, the emperor rolled up his sleeves and finally spoke, "Yongping, this is simply nonsense. Sit down quickly."
Shi Yunyue curled her lips and sat down. She knew that her father would definitely stop her. It would be so boring.
"Jiang Qiao, Yongping is a little impatient, don't take it to heart with her." The emperor finally wanted to give the Jiang family some face, so he took the initiative to smooth things over.
This matter is a big one, concerning the relationship between the ruler and his subjects; it is also a small one, just a negotiation between a girl.
I thought the matter would just pass like this, but the girl suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, I agree with your Highness's way of playing, but I'm thinking that since we're going to win or lose, there has to be some kind of prize."
Jiang Qiao's attitude towards the emperor was one of calmness that came from the bottom of his heart. This kind of demeanor seemed to be innate, which made people admire him.
The emperor already had a good impression of Jiang Qiao. Sometimes, when one is in a high position for a long time, his curiosity will inevitably increase. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and he also wants to see something interesting, so he waved his hand and said, "In that case, you can discuss it with Yongping."
Shi Yunyue's smile widened. "Okay, what prize do you want? This princess will agree to it."
Jiang Qiao was not pretentious. "Then thank you, Princess. If you win, I will do whatever you ask me to do. But if I win, can you also invite me to the next tea party you host?"
"Just a simple invitation to a tea party? Then don't regret it." A cold curve appeared on Shi Yunyue's lips.
Jiang Qiao: "Yes."
Just when the emperor spoke, Jiang Qiao had already learned from Wangcai that Shi Yunyue was not incapable of archery, but was just hiding her talents. As the eldest princess of a country, how could she be as naughty as she appeared?
…
The two went to the tea room nearby to change clothes.
Shi Yunyue spoke first, "Hey, aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid of dying in my hands?"
Jiang Qiao calmly changed his clothes, walked up to her step by step, took the belt from her hand and tied it carefully for her.
"Your Highness, do you dare to kill me?"
Shi Yunyue blushed inexplicably. She wondered if they were too close. She felt a tingling sensation in her lower back.
"You...you...how do you know I don't dare!" Shi Yunyue was a little angry and embarrassed. She was the only princess of Hanbei Kingdom. What could she not dare to do!
This was Jiang Qiao's first time serving someone in this gaming world. She fastened her belt for her and took a step back. "Really? I hope Your Highness doesn't deliberately miss the target. I... don't want to die yet."
Shi Yunyue was stunned and deliberately shot wide!
Jiang Qiao knew she would...
How could she know!
Shi Yunyue's martial arts training was clearly conducted in secret...
The daughter of the Jiang family...seems not simple either!
——
The atmosphere at the banquet became tense. Except for Jiang Qiao and the eldest princess's confidants, no one present knew Shi Yunyue's hidden strength. Everyone was watching the game.
Jiang Qiao had changed into neat clothes. She was holding a gorgeous longbow with a determined look in her eyes.
Shi Yunyue was holding an exquisite short bow, looking particularly noble and elegant, and looked at Jiang Qiao eager to try.
The game started. Jiang Qiao and Shi Yunyue each stood at their shooting position. Jiang Qiao took a deep breath, took an apple, walked to the target, and calmly placed the apple on his head.
Shi Yunyue gave her an approving look and slowly pulled the bowstring. She hadn't shot an arrow for a long time and hoped that she would not be rusty at it.
"call out--"
The arrow hit the apple accurately, causing cheers.
"How could it be?! The eldest princess actually shot it!"
"Oh my god! This can't be a coincidence!"
…
Even the emperor and empress on the platform showed surprised expressions.
When it was Jiang Qiao's turn to shoot the arrow, Shi Yunyue walked over to her and whispered in her ear, "Jiang Qiao, you are so brave."
Jiang Qiao also smiled and replied, "Your Highness the Princess is also very secretive."
Shi Yunyue's eyes were blazing, "Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing."
Jiang Qiao also leaned close to Shi Yunyue's ear and said, "Good or bad... isn't it all up to the princess to decide?"
Shi Yunyue didn't say anything else and stood at the target with the apple in her hand.
However, others couldn't help but think too much when they saw the two people on the stage whispering.
They...are so flirty! (￣?￣)
Jiang Qiao was equally unwilling to be outdone. She aimed at Shi Yunyue's head and gently fired an arrow. The arrow flew through the air and accurately hit the apple, and cheers rang out again in the arena.
The moment the apple fell to the ground, Shi Yunyue knew that she could not compare to Jiang Qiao.
What Shi Yunyue wanted most in her life was to win just once. She was a woman. Even if her mother was the mother of a country, even if she was competitive, even if her status was noble... but she was a woman...
She will never have anything to do with the throne in her life, but why? Is it because she is a woman?
Shi Yunyue was unwilling!
She also wants to be like her brothers...
She should have lived a peaceful life, but she was unwilling to do so, so Shi Yunyue secretly learned martial arts. She wanted to live a carefree life.
That day, when she heard that a woman had volunteered to go to the battlefield, Shi Yunyue even laughed at her because she felt that as the eldest princess, she could not live her life according to her own wishes, so why should a woman who was not as good as herself be able to go to the battlefield as she wished!
Later, Shi Yunyue received news that the woman had won a great victory...
She really wanted to see him at the banquet today, and he was just as she imagined, a stunning talent...
"I give up." Shi Yunyue's voice broke through the cheers of the others, "An invitation will be sent to the General's Mansion another day. Jiang Qiao, remember to come."
After saying that, she returned to her seat.
Jiang Qiao smiled and replied, "Of course I will go."
