Even Shang Xiche couldn't help but rub his right thumb and forefinger together when he saw Ji Fengyao under the table.
Recalling that brief handshake at Wuying Palace, his long-dormant lower abdomen suddenly felt a little warm.
This feeling thrilled Shang Xiche: Could it be that he's back to normal again?
Matsushita Ku Daimao, sitting in the guest seat, naturally saw Ji Fengyao as well. His eyes immediately lit up with excitement. Thinking of the secret letter that the Emperor of Dazhao had entrusted to him, countless unpleasant thoughts flashed through his mind.
For example: if he embarrasses the Ninth Prince, could he also win the Ninth Prince's woman?
As a result, Matsushita Kudai became even more eager to make a name for himself.
Before Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao could even settle down, he hopped to the center of the field like a ground squirrel and awkwardly bowed to the emperor and empress according to the etiquette of the Great Zhao Dynasty.
Then he turned to Ji Fengyao and bowed to her separately, showing no respect for Shang Xiye.
Ji Fengyao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Heh."
With one hand behind his back and his chin held high, Matsushita Kudai looked down at Shang Xiye with disdain: "Ninth Prince, do you dare to accept the challenge I gave you in court yesterday? If you dare, come up here and we'll stop here when we've reached the end."
Upon hearing this, a chorus of soft scoffs arose from those present.
"What's this prince's name again?" Ji Fengyao had just bent down to sit when she heard this, so she straightened up again, pointed at Matsushita Kudai on the central stage, and said loudly, "Matsushita Kudai, right?"
"Beautiful lady, this is Wang Songxia Kudai." Songxia Kudai didn't immediately understand Ji Fengyao's implied meaning, and was also captivated by Ji Fengyao's outstanding beauty, so he corrected her very politely.
"Loosen your belt, loosen your belt, don't they all mean the same thing?" Ji Fengyao tilted her head, feigning innocence and confusion: "Your king of Gao Qiu Kingdom is really something. Why give you such a name? Anyone who didn't know better would think the second prince had prostatitis."
How can four characters and five characters mean the same thing?
What is prostatitis? And what does that mean?
Matsushita Kudai was completely bewildered, deeply realizing that his knowledge of the official language of the Great Zhao Dynasty was insufficient; he could not even communicate fluently with the beauty.
"puff!"
Many officials spat out their tea.
Even the sip of tea that the Empress had just swallowed was stuck in her throat, causing a few blushes to appear on her already sallow face.
That crude and ignorant bandit has a truly venomous tongue.
Even though Matsushita Kudai's Mandarin was terrible, he could tell from everyone's reactions that this beautiful girl must have said something particularly unfriendly to him. He was immediately embarrassed and annoyed: "Beautiful lady, this prince is currently engaged in a duel with the God of War, King Jiu. Please step back and do not disturb us."
"What do you mean 'don't bother us'? Are you blind? Our young lady is the Ninth Prince's consort, bestowed by imperial decree. You dare to challenge our son-in-law, and you won't even let our young lady say a word?" Xi Que put one hand on her hip and pointed angrily at Songxia Kudai with the other, looking extremely fierce.
"When masters are speaking, servants interrupt? What kind of rule is this? Get out of here right now..."
"This is the rule of my Ninth Prince's Mansion," Ji Fengyao interrupted Matsushita Kudai's reprimand of Xique, and walked step by step towards the arena: "My prince is not someone that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can challenge. If you want to challenge my prince, you must defeat me first."
Shang Xiche: "..."
The officials: "..."
This bandit is just asking for a beating because he's used to being arrogant.
As everyone knows, Matsushita Kudai was the most skilled among the princes of Gao Qiu's kingdom.
