As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
This Nanman princess really dares to say anything! He even dared to mention such words in public, and he almost said that he wanted to steal the bride!
The southern barbarian envoy next to him was so frightened that his heart was pounding, and he immediately shouted at Princess Niya. However, Princess Niya ignored him and stared at Xia Luotong.
"Come on, Princess An, you must fight me today!"
Xia Luotong was also surprised. It was not because of the ownership of Princess An's position. After all, Princess Niya's thoughts were too obvious. It was mainly because she had never seen such a shameless person!
And don’t be so blatant!
If he loses, he has to give up the position of Princess An. Not to mention that he cannot make the decision on his own. Princess Niya’s own conditions alone make people speechless!
Leave it to chance?
Isn't this funny?
She is a dignified Nanman princess, not to mention whether she is willing to lose if she really loses. The Nanman's face alone is not something she can abuse at will, and the people of the Nanman mission will not allow such a thing to happen!
So if Princess Niya loses, it basically means she has no loss!
Seeing Princess Niya looking at him with compulsion in her eyes, Xia Luotong was thinking about the emperor's attitude at the moment.
It was obviously impossible for me to take on the challenge. She was pregnant and still riding a horse? Are you kidding?
But Princess Niya was forced to do this, but the emperor didn't react at all, which was not quite right.
In particular, Princess Niya just made a childish bet that "the position of Princess An will belong to her."
But the emperor never responded. Did the emperor really intend to put Princess Niya into Prince An's mansion?
While thinking, Xia Luotong was about to respond, but Wu Zechen beside him spoke first.
"Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of gambling on my position as the princess? Ridiculous!" Wu Zechen's voice was so cold that it seemed like ice could form.
The wine glass he originally held in his hand was slammed down on the table. The dull sound seemed to hit everyone's hearts, making people feel nervous involuntarily.
Such power made many people present feel terrified, and their eyes looking at Wu Zechen were even more vigilant and cautious.
Wu Zechen's words were completely devoid of face, and there were even signs of breaking out, which shows how angry he was at this time.
As Wu Zechen's main target, Princess Niya was the first to bear the brunt. She was so overwhelmed by Wu Zechen's momentum that she was speechless for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
At this moment, she had a deeper understanding of Wu Zechen's terror!
Seeing that Princess Niya was so shocked that she could not speak, the emperor, who had been watching the show quietly, spoke at this moment.
"Prince An! Watch your words! She is the princess of the Southern Barbarians, and she comes to the Great Zhou Dynasty on behalf of the Southern Barbarians!"
It's a good thing that the emperor didn't speak. When he spoke, many people's faces looked a little unattractive. These were basically military commanders.
"So what about the Nanman Princess? Can she insult the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty like this? If she is allowed to do this, wouldn't it undermine the majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" This time, Wu Zechen said it bluntly.
Xia Luotong was a royal wife, and Princess Niya insulting her was indeed equivalent to not taking the Zhou royal family seriously.
"Just now the Nanman Princess insulted the princess like this, so it was fine that the emperor didn't come forward, but now she is helping an outsider. Doesn't it make Prince An's palace feel chilly?"
Wu Zechen looked at the emperor with cold eyes and no warmth in his words.
As soon as Wu Zechen said these words, the expressions of everyone present changed and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.
Most of the ministers in the court were aware of the subtlety between the emperor and Prince An. What's more, those who came today were all important ministers who stood at the top of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were even more aware of the entanglement here.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but guess, has the conflict between Prince An and the Emperor reached this point? Is it going to be brought to light?
"What does Prince An mean? Does it mean that I am partial to outsiders?" The emperor looked at Wu Zechen with dangerous eyes and his tone was unkind.
"I don't dare." Wu Zechen said three words lightly.
I just don't dare, but I don't deny it.
Everyone knew what it meant, and the emperor's face became even more ugly.
But Wu Zechen obviously had no intention of quarreling with the emperor now. After saying these three words and blocking the emperor's mouth, he turned his attention back to Princess Niya again and no longer gave the emperor a chance to find trouble.
"Since you Nanman wants to compete so much, then I will do it myself."
Princess Niya was startled. She instantly recovered from the scene just now and refused.
"This is a competition between women. It would be inappropriate for Prince An to interfere, right?"
She knew it well, how could she be the opponent of Wu Zechen, who was known as the God of War? There is no other possibility except asking for humiliation!
The reason why she dared to propose a competition with Xia Luotong was because she had already heard clearly before that Xia Luotong did not know martial arts at all, let alone horseback riding and archery, so she proposed the competition at this time.
Princess Niya thought that if she said this, Wu Zechen would not be able to talk about it again. However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she finished speaking, a female voice sounded out.
"Since Princess Nanman said it's a battle between women, let me take over for Princess An."
While he was talking, a fiery red figure walked in front of everyone. It was Xi Menghan who was dressed in a smart outfit and had a heroic appearance!
Seeing Princess Niya turning her head and frowning, she was about to refuse, but Xi Menghan didn't give her a chance to speak again and spoke out again.
"Princess An is pregnant and it is impossible for her to participate in such a competition. Princess Nanman lacks common sense, so we won't say anything more. I will accept Princess Niya's competition. Let's start quickly. Don't waste everyone's time. "
Unexpectedly, she was scolded for not having common sense. Princess Niya immediately became angry: "Okay! I will educate you well now!"
Having said that, the two of them didn't waste any time and went off directly. After choosing their bows and horses, they got on their horses neatly.
Princess Niya didn't care about the order of things, she just clamped her horse's belly, bent her bow and arrow, and shot an arrow while running, hitting the bull's-eye directly!
After seeing her results, Princess Niya smiled, pulled the reins with a proud face, looked at Xi Menghan not far away, and spoke with ridicule.
"If you admit defeat now and kowtow to me, I will not hold you accountable for your rudeness just now!"
As soon as Princess Niya said this, many Zhou officials looked a little ugly.
This Nanman princess is too arrogant! A mere idle princess with no power dared to ask their Zhou generals to kneel down and kowtow? It's really too much!
