This is not something that cannot be said. Even if she doesn't say it, as soon as the competition is over, not only their bet, but also the news of her disastrous defeat will be known to everyone!
"Actually, it's nothing. The emperor just gave us a question. Whoever can go to Wanshou Mountain first and take away the Buddhist beads from the hands of the Queen Mother will win!"
Originally, her riding skills were acceptable, but who knew that there would be twists and turns and so many things happening!
After such a long delay, it is estimated that Duan Hongyan will have arrived in front of the Queen Mother by now!
That's all, that's all, maybe this is life.
Anyway, it turns out that Princess An's position should belong to Duan Hongyan. After making such a big circle, she is just back to the starting point.
"So, the bet on this topic is the Queen Mother's Buddhist beads? Is there anything special about the Queen Mother's Buddhist beads?"
The old lady was puzzled and couldn't think of any special meaning to this question.
"The king's heart is unpredictable, how do I know! But since the emperor said so, there must be a reason for it! If you lose, you lose. Grandma, where are you going? I'll take you there!"
Duan Qingyao looked left and right. There was no village or store in front of him. After waiting for so long, there was no one there. If he didn't help the old lady, the old lady would really have to walk down the mountain on her own limping legs.

"Then please trouble me, girl, and send me to the Clothing Bureau!" https://m.geilwx.Geilwx.Geil Literature Network
The old lady tried to move her legs and feet, but she was sure that her feet could no longer move freely, so she stopped being polite to Duan Qingyao.
"Shangyi Bureau? It turns out that grandma is from Shangyi Bureau!"
Although Duan Qingyao has not been to the palace a few times, he still knows about the Shangyi Bureau.
It is said that the embroidery girls in the Shangyi Bureau are all ingenious and make beautiful clothes.
Logically speaking, palace maids who reach their age will be released from the palace.
But the maids of the Shangyi Bureau have a craft close to them. If you don’t want to leave the palace, you can stay in the Shangyi Bureau forever!
"yes!"
The old lady agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll take you to the Clothing Bureau! Once you stand firm, I'll help you mount your horse!"
Duan Qingyao waved to the horse, and the white horse came over knowingly, and actually knelt down in understanding!
The old lady saw it and was amazed, "Why does this horse listen to you so much?"
"Maybe it's because I'm more beautiful!"
Duan Qingyao smiled and joked, even she herself was amused.
"That's right, you are very beautiful!"
After sending the old lady to the gate of Shangyi Bureau, Duan Qingyao returned to the Jinluan Palace in a leisurely manner.
"Guess who will win this round?"
The waiting time was boring and long, and I didn’t know who wanted to raise this question.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked: "Prince An, who do you think will win?"
"Duan Qingyao!"
"Duan Qingyao is indeed unexpected, but I think Miss Duan will win! After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Duan family, and she excels in everything!"
Jun Yanan snorted and said, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince likes Duan Hongyan so much, why not marry the Crown Prince?"
At this moment, Jun Yanan seemed to understand a lot of things and suddenly let go of his obsession.
Although he and Duan Hongyan were engaged beforehand, if His Highness the Crown Prince and Duan Hongyan were in love, why did he have to worry about it?
A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult. He helps others and by the way, he also helps himself.
"Prince An, you really know how to joke!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled coquettishly.
Some things are hard to talk about if they are put on the surface!
As His Royal Highness, you still need to face shame!
"Coming! Coming!"
While he was talking, he saw a figure walking up from the hall from a distance.
Is it Duan Qingyao?
Jun Yanan felt happy, and he knew that he would never misjudge the person.
Prime Minister Duan opened his mouth in disbelief. How is this possible?
He has carefully cultivated Duan Hongyan since she was a child. No one knows how outstanding Duan Hongyan is than him as a father!
Of course he will also know his other daughter Duan Qingyao!
It is precisely because of his understanding that it is harder for him than anyone else to accept the results he sees before him.
How could Duan Qingyao defeat Duan Hongyan so easily? Isn't this incredible?
"Where are the prayer beads?"
The emperor looked at Duan Qingyao with approval, she was worthy of being the woman Jun Yanan fell in love with!
Although my background is a little different, my flaws are not concealed!
Duan Qingyao was immersed in her own thoughts. She was thinking about how she could make the emperor willingly give the beads to her when she couldn't get them!
"Duan Qingyao, the emperor asks you, where are the Buddhist beads?"
Unexpectedly, Duan Qingyao could still be distracted in the main hall, in front of the emperor.
Is there anything else she can't do?
Jun Yanan waited for a while and couldn't help but remind him.
"Back to the emperor, Qingyao did not get the beads!"
Duan Qingyao told the truth.
She doesn’t want to fail either!
But if you lose, you lose. Are you willing to accept defeat?
"No? Didn't you come back first?"
There is only one string of Buddhist beads, and they are kept away on a first-come, first-served basis. If the beads are not in Duan Qingyao’s hands, where else could they be?
"Miss Duan is back too!"
Almost in front and back, before Duan Qingyao could answer, Duan Hongyan ran up to the hall panting.
"Since Duan Qingyao didn't get the beads, then you are the one who got the beads?"
Duan Hongyan took out a jade Ruyi from her sleeve.
"Back to the emperor, my daughter hurriedly went up to Wanshou Mountain without any delay. However, the Queen Mother was not on Wanshou Mountain, and I did not see her. However, I took the jade Ruyi that the Queen Mother used daily.
As a substitute, it proves that the women of the people were indeed the first to reach Wanshou Mountain!"
The emperor carefully looked at the jade Ruyi presented by Duan Hongyan. It was full of water and green, with the Queen Mother's words engraved on the bottom. It was indeed the Queen Mother's.
"In this case, I declare that the final winner is Duan Hongyan. According to the previous agreement, the princess of Prince An's Mansion will be——"
"Wait a minute!"
Before the emperor could announce the final result, at the critical moment, an old woman with gray hair hobbled up to the main hall on crutches!
