Chapter 214: Lose the Battle but Not the Battle
Standing in front of him was Princess Zhaoyang, wearing a tight red riding suit with phoenix feathers inlaid with gold, which made her face, which looked very much like Emperor Gan De's dull and cold-blooded face, look a little more lively.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Su Qianqian and Xin and Wang stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess. I adhere to the principle of not having ability, but not having momentum. I live by the principle of losing the battle, not the battle. I was born with talents that must be useful, and I will not use them if I can. I will only wear horse clothes but not ride a horse, and I will only prepare a quiver but not draw a bow. I am determined to win momentum for the Marquis of Wuning's mansion."
After Su Qianqian finished her speech, Princess Zhaoyang and the villain gang following her: Princess Zhaoning, Ji Bingwen, Qi Wanniang, and Su Miaomiao, all looked like they had two-day-old stinky socks stuffed in their mouths, with their mouths open and faces full of indescribable expressions.
The group of noble ladies following behind lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.
Princess Zhaoyang was not very good at talking, so she turned her head to signal her treacherous think tank to come forward.
This time, Ji Bingwen was the first to step forward. She was wearing a riding suit with autumn-colored auspicious cloud patterns. Her haggard face made her look like a dead leaf, and she looked ten years older. The old ladies of the Qin family were more energetic than her.
"Madam Su, the reputation of the Wuning Marquisate is not based on intimidating people with its momentum. It is a family of military commanders, but during the hunting, there are three ladies hiding on the sidelines watching the fun. What's the point of coming here? Why not..."
"Why don't we go back home first? Madam Ji is really attentive. She can see that the three of us are ashamed and don't want to stay any longer.
There are many people in Wuning Marquis' Mansion who are capable of fighting in the battlefield and killing enemies, let alone hunting beasts! Even the children are no less capable, so the three of us are not a big deal. Since the eldest princess's wife has given her permission on behalf of the eldest princess, the three of us sisters-in-law will leave first! ”
Su Qianqian said this and performed the blessing ceremony, then was about to leave with Xin and Wang.
"Madam Su, when did I ever tell you to go back home?" Ji Bingwen was so scared that her face turned pale, and she hurriedly stepped forward to block Su Qianqian.
[So that's how it is. He was following Lu Min's orders, asking her to please and protect Princess Zhaoyang, and also to make sure to embarrass the people in Wuning Marquis' Mansion, and to cause trouble if possible.
Whether someone from Wuning Marquis Mansion encounters an accident, or someone else encounters an accident, they can take the opportunity to make trouble. And the three of you who don’t know martial arts are the biggest loopholes of Wuning Marquis Mansion. 】
The system said this in a serious tone.
[Ugly people are always causing trouble. The turtle dreamed of having true love. He was just eating peanuts, but he forced me to use my extraordinary martial arts. 】
Su Qianqian complained in her heart, but took a step back with timidity on her face, and asked Ji Bingwen cautiously: "If Madam Ji didn't order us to return home, then what did she want us to do?"
"I'm saying why don't you come hunting with us? There's a safe hunting ground over there. Even if you can't hunt any wild animals or birds, you won't get hurt."
Ji Bingwen quickly expressed her thoughts, fearing that Su Qianqian would cause trouble again.
"Madam Ji, we are not here to avoid getting hurt. The Queen and the other ladies also need to accompany us. There are really few people in our house who don't know martial arts. The three of us have been entrusted with an important task this time. We just need to accompany the ladies well. I wish the princess and the other female heroes a fruitful return!"
Su Qianqian bowed to everyone, especially looking at Qi Wanniang, who seemed both dashing and delicate. She wore an exquisitely embroidered jacket over her riding suit, which looked inappropriate, but she thought she was different. She looked around for human prey.
"Madam Su, I am about to marry into Daliang. As the future Crown Princess of Daliang, I invite you to go hunting with me. Madam, you will not refuse to give me face, right?"
When Princess Zhaoning saw Ji Bingwen suffer a setback, she sneered and took action herself.
[As a typical example of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice, Princess Zhaoning has not had an easy life recently. She knelt in the imperial concubine's bedroom, and her mother could not even leave the palace. She then knelt in the imperial study and at the queen's palace gate.
This time Princess Zhaoyang was cautious. She was afraid that the emperor would go back on his word and the queen would be soft-hearted. So when Princess Zhaoning went to kneel, she sent people to sweep the floor. Princess Zhaoning couldn't stand the dust and had to accept her fate.
However, her bad nature is innate, and accumulated little by little over time, and has become a habit. I don't know what bad things she is up to this time, so don't be fooled, my dear. 】
The system quickly ate the melon and reminded Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian narrowed her eyes: [But her reasons are very sufficient. Although she is forcing others to do things against her will, she has the qualifications to do so. So why not just take advantage of her, but I have to get some interest back first. 】
"Princess Zhaoning will soon become the Crown Princess of Daliang. I would like to congratulate her first. Since Princess Zhaoning has said so, I have no choice but to obey. However, I don't have a horse and I don't know how to ride a horse..."
"I have a good horse and can give one to Madam!" Princess Zhaoyang's eyes flashed slightly. She stopped Su Qianqian from speaking and turned to signal the eunuch behind her.
"Since the princess has agreed, then bring a few more horses for me to choose from. After all, if I have an accident while riding the horse given by the princess, the princess will probably be criticized. For the sake of the princess's reputation, I cannot make any mistakes because of the horses."
Su Qianqian stopped the eunuch and put forward some conditions.
"Okay." Princess Zhaoyang said, biting her back teeth.
"And hunting requires a good bow. The one I have... is still not good enough. If I don't have one, I will..."
"I have prepared a few extra good bows, Madam, you can choose one." This time, Princess Zhaoning interrupted Su Qianqian while biting her back teeth.
"Thank you, Princess. Do you have extra arrows...right? Please prepare them for me. I will thank you for your generosity! And that..."
"Madam Su, what exactly do you want?" Princess Zhaoning could hear the ambiguity in Su Qianqian's words, but she didn't know how to point it out, so she could only lower her voice and ask angrily.
"Then forget it. Originally, I wanted to repay the two princesses with silver. It seems that giving silver for such a small amount of things would be an insult to the two princesses. I am really stupid. I have no choice but to accept it."
Princess Zhaoning: ...
Su Qianqian performed the blessing ceremony with some trepidation, and waited happily for the eunuchs to trot away to buy things, and also greeted the familiar ladies and ladies behind her.
Some of these people had asked her for help in order to get VIP cards for Huarong Pavilion. When they saw Su Qianqian greeting them warmly, they felt nervous and embarrassed, and their faces looked unhappy.
At this time, Qin Yuzhuo and Zhou Jinxi, who had already prepared their horses and bows and arrows, came over.
"Third sister-in-law, mother asked me to come here and ask, what happened? Do you want to take you away?" Qin Yuzhuo pulled Su Qianqian aside and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay. I'm just accompanying the two princesses on a hunt. Just help me find a good horse and a good bow... Remember, pick the expensive ones!"
Su Qianqian had a smile on her face and tried not to open her mouth to make any sound through her teeth, so as to avoid being noticed by the women who were staring at them hungrily.
"But you ride a horse..." Qin Yuzhuo was a little worried.
"Choose the short one..." Su Qianqian felt a little guilty.
[At least it won’t hurt if I fall. I’ll go to the tent to get some equipment later…] He thought to himself.
"I will go to the tent and prepare some necessary items. Yuzhuo, help me choose a horse and a bow and arrow."
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she bowed and turned to walk towards the tent where the women of the Qin family were changing clothes and resting.
He put on the simple bulletproof vest inside, tied cotton pads on his arms and knees, and then put on a tight riding suit in moon-white color embroidered with red plum blossoms. He also slung a treasure bag across his body, with each compartment of the bag containing a treasure.
She put on a moon-white satin cape embroidered with red plums, called out "Dian Feng", but got a shock when she walked out of the tent.
