Bai Yu glared angrily at Xie Lingqin's back, then plopped down on the ground.
As soon as she sat down, Xie Lingqin came back, took a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to her, saying, "Help me with this."
Bai Yu originally intended to refuse, but for some reason, she reached out and took it.
"What is this thing? A bow? A crossbow?" Bai Yu looked at the piece of paper for a long time. "It looks like it, but it doesn't look like it at all. There's no bow like this, and there's no crossbow that's so harmless."
Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered, all her sharpness and coldness vanished, replaced by a light and indifferent smile, "If used correctly, even a chicken feather can kill a person."
Bai Yu was taken aback and turned to look at her.
But Xie Lingqin remained calm and composed.
“What you say makes sense. I’ll take care of it. But if you really like these things, you can go to the training ground to see them. There’s an extra-large crossbow there. It’s said that it was used by the General’s wife in the General’s Mansion back then, and it hasn’t been used since the barbarians were pacified.”
Xie Lingqin's gaze settled.
Yes, how could she forget that?
In the capital, in the very center of the training ground where the martial arts examinations are held every year, there is an extra-large crossbow. It is said that the origin of this crossbow is unknown, but her mother used it to repel countless enemies.
It is also said that this bow and crossbow is particularly heavy, and most people would find it difficult to move.
Therefore, over the years, without realizing it, many candidates in the autumn examinations have come to regard the ability to wield a bow and arrow as something to be proud of and boast about.
However, no one has been able to move it over the years; at most, they can only sway it a little.
It's a pity that she's gone. What else does the emperor have besides fear and covetousness?
Even though her mother was very capable, she still couldn't judge people well and married a scumbag.
"Okay, then I'll be going." After a long while, Xie Lingqin regained her composure, waved her hand, and left the Bai residence.
Bai Yu watched Xie Lingqin's retreating figure, stroking his chin.
"This kid... why am I becoming more and more curious about him?"
...
It was quite a coincidence that Xie Lingqin ran into Nie Zuier not far from where she had walked.
There was another acquaintance.
Yu Qingyi.
In the alley, under that towering tree, the two stood facing each other.
"I never expected that you would fall in love with the second young lady of the General's Mansion. You even went so far as to rush to send her to the Little Fahua Temple. I've heard about this for several days and I still can't quite believe it... She is the person of the Wise Prince."
The slightly sarcastic voice came from Nie Zuier.
As for Yu Qingyi, he had lost all his former dashing and debonair manner, hanging his head and looking as if he were being lectured.
"What, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you're already too lazy to even talk to me?"
Yu Qingyi's robes rustled in the wind, but he remained silent.
Nie Zuier sneered, her eyes filled with sorrow, "Fine, then. I wish you a speedy journey to winning the heart of your beauty."
After saying that, Nie Zuier got up and left.
Yu Qingyi stood there without saying a word from beginning to end.
Xie Lingqin watched the direction Nie Zuier had left in.
This is the direction of the Bai residence. Are we going to find Bai Yu?
After a while, Xie Lingqin withdrew her gaze and stood in the shadows for quite some time before finally stepping out.
"Alas, even Prince Yi has someone he feels guilty towards?"
Yu Qingyi raised his head, his gaze fixed on Xie Lingqin without blinking, showing no surprise. "You heard everything."
"I didn't hear the whole thing."
"Hmph." Yu Qingyi turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned back to look at Xie Lingqin. "Where are you going?"
"Holy crap..."
Xie Lingqin was originally dressed as a man. She wanted to see her shop, which was almost finished, after meeting Yu Qingyi. However, how could she let Yu Qingyi know about this?
Just because he knows doesn't mean the Crown Prince knows.
The fact that the Crown Prince knows doesn't mean the matter can't be accomplished.
"I'm going to watch the autumn martial arts competition," Xie Lingqin said.
"What's so interesting about that?"
"Fighting is cool!"
“Build it.” Yu Qingyi said listlessly, his expression as always, raising his chin. “That’s all you’ve got. You haven’t seen the Crown Prince’s sword dance. That’s the ultimate in style.”
"The Crown Prince is performing a sword dance?"
“However…” Yu Qingyi thought for a moment, resting his chin on his hand, “that’s a rare opportunity, you won’t have a chance. Let’s go, together.”
"Why do we have to go together?"
"If those people play too poorly, I, the young master, can step in and broaden your horizons."
Xie Lingqin...
She didn't really want to go!
However, Yu Qingyi wasn't stupid. If she didn't go now, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
