Duan Gouqiong's expression changed. He hurried down the stairs, grabbed the king's arm, and asked anxiously, "Father, how do you know everything?"
"If these things haven't reached my ears after all this time, am I, the King, too incompetent?"
Duan Gouqiong lowered his head and said pitifully, "Then you should also know who has been bullying Gouqiong all the time, right? They only want good things for Gouqiong, but they won't bully or harm Gouqiong. Father, the eldest princess will be coming to Canglie soon. You, you should help Gouqiong vent her anger!"
Seeing Duan Gouqiong looking at him with hope in his eyes, the king had a cold and hard face and did not speak.
Duan Gouqiong continued to shake: "The princess is in trouble. If it weren't for the prince and the crown prince protecting Gouqiong, Gouqiong might not have returned alive..."
As she spoke, she began to wipe her tears, then raised her head and prepared to burst into tears.
The king quickly said, "Wait a minute, stop!"
Duan Gouqiong immediately sniffed his nose and stopped.
The king then spoke, "Let's put it this way. Let's solve each matter one by one. Even if my child is not outstanding, it is not someone else's place to despise him."
He pointed at Ni Yueshan and said, "Show me your true abilities. If you lose, it means you are not worthy of taking my daughter's position as Crown Princess. If you win, I will not pursue the matter and will even adopt you as my goddaughter. When you come to Canglie in the future, you can confront whoever you want. In my heart, Gou Qiong is first, and you are second!"
King Cang Lie and Duan Gouqiong have somewhat similar personalities. They don't play by the rules and don't care about the rules. They just do what they want and only seek to make themselves happy without thinking about other consequences.
No wonder Duan Gouqiong is so fearless and acts recklessly...
"Ahem, may I ask what we are competing in?" Ni Yueshan asked curiously.
"It is said that women in Xianchang are good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
One sentence made Ni Yueshan's face change instantly. Those ghosts...
What the hell is that?
Seeing Ni Yueshan standing there without saying anything, Duan Gouqiong coughed and said, "So father wants to let me go. Everyone knows that the Crown Princess is famous for her talent in Xianchang. Others can write a poem in seven steps, but she can only write three..."
Ni Yueshan was extremely embarrassed.
You can pretend to be someone else's poem by just reciting it out loud, but you can't pretend to be someone else's calligraphy or painting.
Ni Yueshan felt that she couldn't let the king see any flaws in her aura. She curled her lips and smiled confidently, "It doesn't matter. Your Majesty, I will show you how to test you. If I win after the competition, Your Majesty, does that mean I am worthy of the position of Crown Princess?"
Duan Gouqiong knew that Ni Yueshan's poems were plagiarized, so weren't these music, chess, calligraphy and painting a joke?
Duan Gouqiong was embarrassed: "Father, I don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, so I can't compete. I can do horse racing, polo, or anything else..."
The king looked at Duan Gouqiong suspiciously and asked, "Is your arm healed? Doesn't it hurt anymore? Do you still dare to ride a horse?"
"Dare, why not? The scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten!"
The king was still silent when a palace servant slowly approached and reported, "Your Majesty, the government has sent someone to say that a princess has arrived and wants to see Your Majesty."
Duan Gouqiong's originally calm face immediately turned serious, and hatred flashed in her eyes: "Father, deal with her!"
The king looked solemn and hadn't said anything yet. Duan Gouqiong continued, "Emperor Xianchang said that she is here to be dealt with by you, father! She harmed me before..."
Finally, the palace maid led Jing Yu'e slowly into the palace.
Jing Yu'e was wearing a dark outfit and a veil. She stood straight with her chin raised proudly. As she walked slowly, she had an elegant and noble temperament.
The king narrowed his eyes slightly, sitting on the high seat, looking at her quietly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The crisp voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and it was a solemn and solemn salute.
"Are you the eldest princess? Why did you come to Canglie? And you are alone?"
"Your Majesty, I have come here to obey your orders. During my free time, I was unaware of Princess Gou Qiong's identity and repeatedly clashed with her, causing numerous unpleasant experiences. This has violated the friendship between our two countries and affected the alliance, so I come here to confess my sins!"
As he said this, he knelt down on the ground.
The king was surprised.
Seeing that the king remained silent for a moment, Jing Yu'e continued, "But, Your Majesty, before I am punished, there is one more matter that I must inform you of!"
The king looked at Jing Yu'e without saying anything, waiting for her to explain herself.
Jing Yu'e glanced at the palace maids present, obviously signaling the king to send everyone away.
The king did not hesitate and slowly waved his hand, and then the palace servants guarding the palace retreated together.
Only Jing Yu'e and the king were left in the huge hall.
Under the king's suspicious gaze, Jing Yu'e slowly took out a small box from her sleeve.
"A special gift!"
Now that all the palace maids have left, they are still presenting gifts?
Who will take the box?
The king frowned and didn't move. Jing Yu'e took the initiative to walk over, step by step, with her head lowered and her hands raised high.
Then he stopped at His Highness.
The king then stood up, walked down the steps, lowered his eyes to look at the wooden box, but did not reach out to take it.
"What's this?"
"A shocking secret."
This statement was too confident and too surprising.
The king burst into laughter. "A shocking secret! Haha, you guys are so arrogant all the time."
Jing Yu'e did not rush to explain, but said calmly: "Please take a look, Your Majesty."
The king snorted, took the wooden box in his hand, and then said, "Mystique!"
The wooden box was opened, and a parchment scroll lay quietly inside, but it was not opened. The king vaguely knew what it was.
He looked at Jing Yu'e again, not intending to open the door, but waiting for her to explain more, but Jing Yu'e did not intend to speak.
Duan Gouqiong and others behind the screen in the hall couldn't resist their curiosity and stretched their necks to look, wanting to see what it was.
In their strange gazes, who knew that the screen was...
With a "bang", the screen fell down and the person appeared in front of Jing Yu'e.
Jing Yu'e looked over in astonishment. Duan Gouqiong and the others, without exception, were all...
Duan Gouqiong was not embarrassed and simply said, "Father, this princess is very cunning. We don't even know what that thing is. Don't trust her!"
Jing Yu'e was indeed surprised that these people arrived before her, but she didn't panic. She just said in surprise, "Princess, you teamed up with the prince and others to deal with me. I thought it was just to have some fun for a while, to have some fun, and to vent your anger. But you actually got back before me?"
