As soon as Su Qingxue finished speaking, although no one in the entire hall dared to speak, everyone's eyes were speechless.
Especially Su Qingyu, she was so angry that Su Qingxue gasped, causing the veil on her face to rise and fall due to breathing too hard.
"If I weren't afraid that His Majesty would convict you, I would really want to throw those two big mouths away from her!"
"Is there something wrong with her? She keeps dragging me all day long! If she doesn't bother me, I'll be annoyed!"
Before Emperor Ming could speak, Lu Yuncheng chose to comfort Su Qingyu, the cat whose hair had exploded again.
He patted her back gently and said in an extremely gentle tone: "Calm down, it's just a competition. As long as you don't want to, I not only have a way to prevent you from competing, but I can also let her compete on her own."
King Qi stood up in time and came to Tuoba Linglong: "Father, I think Princess An's words are reasonable. Princess Tuoba is a guest from afar. Since she has made a request, we should do our best to satisfy her."
"Princess Ling has been well-known for her talents since she was a child, and has been praised by everyone. Let her compete with Princess Tuoba, which can be regarded as agreeing with the princess's statement of 'the most talented woman'."
Concubine Hui originally wanted to see what Emperor Ming would decide before speaking, but now it's fine. After King Qi's words, if Emperor Ming refuted his face, wouldn't he ask the envoys of Western Chu to laugh at the discord in the Daxia royal family?
Tuoba Linglong glanced at King Qi scornfully: "What you said is pretty decent."
"This princess just wants to compete with each other in terms of talents. You have been discussing for a long time. Is there anyone who dares to challenge me? Daxia Kingdom can't even train a decent talented girl, right?"
Su Qingyu continued to whisper to Lu Yuncheng: "Look at the fuss this has caused. If I don't go up, not only will His Majesty lose face, but the noble ladies of the capital will also be humiliated by Tuoba Linglong."
"If I go up to the competition and beat Tuoba Linglong, I will offend Miss Jiang on the spot; if I lose the competition, it will be an embarrassment to the entire Great Xia."
"If you don't want to, no one can force you."
After being dormant for so many years, Su Qingyu certainly believed that Lu Yuncheng had such strength, but she was unwilling to let him reveal any of his strength for such a trivial matter.
"Forget it, since Su Qingxue dares to make a move, I dare to take the move!" Su Qingyu raised her hand to make sure her veil was on properly: "It's just the fault I made today, I will definitely get it back!"
After Su Qingyu finished speaking, she slowly stood up in front of everyone's eyes.
Today she is wearing a purple cross-neck skirt with a belt of the same color around her waist. The face is covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of smart eyes, but it has a vague, yet graceful and fairy aura.
"Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law is not very talented and would like to compete with Princess Tuoba."
Even if Su Qingyu took the initiative to appear, Emperor Ming's eyes would not be much better.
How could a person who had ruined her appearance and locked herself in the backyard without leaving the house dare to expect her to be able to compete with Tuoba Linglong?
Sitting high up, Emperor Ming looked around. Everyone looked suspicious and disapproving of Su Qingyu's appearance.
Su Qingxue said diligently: "Father, please rest assured, Princess Ling will not disappoint my father!"
The patriotism that accompanied her all her life in her previous life made Su Qingyu keep thinking silently in her heart, "Put the overall situation first and don't let the envoys of Xichu see Daxia's jokes", so she resisted and did not tear Su Qingxue to pieces on the spot. .
With her words, Emperor Ming could not say anything more, but silently recorded Su Qingxue's account in his heart!
The day she gives birth to royal blood will be her death!
"In that case, let's let Princess Ling and Princess Tuoba compete."
"Are you the talented woman they call you, Princess Ling?"
Facing Tuoba Linglong's disdain, Su Qingyu didn't care: "Exactly."
"Since it is a competition, it should be a fair and honest competition! You are wearing a veil, could it be that you are looking down on this princess?"
After sitting down, Su Qingxue picked up the tea and hid the smug look in her eyes.
For today's situation, she sent someone to investigate Tuoba Linglong's habits dozens of days ago. Now he is pushing Su Qingyu out at the risk of being punished by His Majesty and Concubine Hui. Naturally, he has a chance of winning.
Because, no matter whether Su Qingyu loses or wins, she will not be in a good position.
"Princess Tuoba, please forgive me."
Su Qingyu didn't expect that Jiang Lanyin stood up to speak for her before she could even tell her the excuse she had thought of.
"In my country of Daxia, there is no rule that women are not allowed to wear veils. Princess Tuoba just said that guests are welcome to host, so naturally we should follow the rules and etiquette of our country of Daxia. It's just a small veil, I think. I’m sure the princess won’t care too much about it, right?”
Jiang Lanyin's words instantly resonated with everyone.
"Yes, we were concerned that they were distinguished guests, so we made concessions in many ways and fulfilled their wishes. If we continue to give in, we will really lose the magnanimity that a princess of a country should have."
"That's right! Miss Jiang is right. Princess Ling has to wear her veil. If she takes it off when she asks, wouldn't we be very embarrassed?"
"Miss Jiang is still smart and astute, and she always gets to the most important point when speaking."
...
Su Qingyu raised the corners of her lips slightly, and looked at each other with Jiang Lanyin, both of them frowning.
"Princess Tuoba, the most important thing in the competition is each other's talent level, nothing else. If the princess is worried about the mystery of my veil and dares not compete, of course we will not force it."
It was just a competition, so Su Qingyu could only use aggressive tactics to try to make Tuoba Linglong more agile.
The officials of Daxia Kingdom and their families all laughed out loud because of Su Qingyu's words, but they barely said clearly, "Does Tuoba Linglong want to escape from the battle?"
Tuoba Linglong has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child. She has never been looked at with such contempt, and her blood suddenly boils.
"Princess Ling is so arrogant! Since we are just guests and hosts, what do you want to compare to Princess Ling?"
Su Qingyu strolled back and forth: "The princess has grown up on horseback since she was a child. If there is an archery competition, the princess will definitely feel that she is invincible."
Tuoba Linglong:......
"Playing chess takes too long. I'm afraid it will make His Majesty and everyone wait for a long time, so it is not appropriate. Competing in calligraphy and painting would be too boring and boring, and it is not appropriate."
Tuoba Linglong:......
"Princess Tuoba has come all the way. After much thought, I think it's better for you to choose one."
Tuoba Linglong:......
No matter what attitude and impression everyone had towards Su Qingyu in the past, everyone now has the same thought in their hearts:
Princess Ling’s mouth makes everyone feel so comfortable when she speaks!
Tuoba Linglong sneered: "Since Princess Ling said so, how about we compete in playing the piano, singing, and dancing?"
Seeing that Su Qingyu was not timid at all, Tuoba Linglong continued to increase the pressure: "Compare these three things at the same time."
