But everyone knew the emperor's temper. He was almost obedient to Princess Anfu and doted on her to no end. Since he had promised Princess Anfu, it would not be easy for them to stop her.
They looked at each other, their eyes communicated, and they came and went, but no fool came out to cause trouble.
The emperor was furious just now. If Princess Anfu hadn't come over, he might have decided who to attack now. The emperor was in a good mood at this time, but his anger had not been vented. Anyone who disobeyed him would definitely have to bear the consequences accumulated previously.
The fury of thunder.
In the end, no one dared to persuade them, and they could only watch as Zhao Yancheng issued an order to let the Ministry of Rites pass the news to the world. At noon tomorrow, a big competition will be held outside Chengyang Gate. Princess Anfu will challenge Meng Guangzhao, the eighteenth prince of Kunming.
Everyone sighed helplessly.
Since the emperor has already made the decree, it is useless to say more. We can only watch helplessly. Princess Anfu has lost face this time. I wonder what trouble will happen. But fortunately, she is only a woman, so even if she loses, it will not matter.
Princess Anfu came to Ruyi Temple lightly and saw Chu Li transplanting trees in the temple. Three days later, the appearance of Ruyi Temple had changed greatly, and the entire Ruyi Temple became more fresh and pleasant.
The world outside Ruyi Temple and the inside of Ruyi Temple seem to be completely different.
Stepping outside Ruyi Temple, there is noisy and bustling traffic, children shouting and scolding, adults shouting and scolding, business bargaining, and friends talking and laughing when meeting.
Stepping into Ruyi Temple, the hustle and bustle outside suddenly disappeared, as if you were isolated from the world, and you came to the deep mountains and old forests. The air was fresh and pleasant, and your spirits were lifted when you heard it. The clear chirping of birds on the old trees occasionally sounded, and your heart felt calm, and mundane things
All disappear, worries disappear, mind and soul are cleansed.
"Master." She came to Chu Li's side Yingying and said with a sweet smile: "I'm out of seclusion."
Chu Li looked her over and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you are somewhat promising. Are you ready to fight Meng Guangzhao?"
"Yes." Princess Anfu said bitterly: "If we don't defeat him, our Dayu will be really disgraced, and those guys are really disappointing. None of them can beat Meng Guangzhao!"
Chu Li smiled: "Meng Guangzhao still has real abilities."
"Then can I really defeat him?" Princess Anfu asked.
Chu Li nodded and said: "We will win without a doubt."
He spoke, turned around and walked.
Princess Anfu followed suit and came to Chu Li's courtyard. She watched him enter the living room and then took a jade pendant and handed it to her.
"Master, this is...?" Princess Anfu asked.
Chu Li said: "This is an amulet. Keep it well and never give it to anyone."
"Master, don't worry. How could I give it to others as a gift from Master?" Princess Anfu nodded hurriedly and carefully took the jade pendant. She felt the cool breath coming from the palm of her hand and going around her body. Her body suddenly felt lighter.
She immediately knew it was a treasure and became even more excited: "Is this a treasure, Master?"
Chu Li nodded: "A unique treasure in this world."
"Hehe, thank you Master!" Princess Anfu looked at it for a long time, then tied it around her neck with a smile, feeling the cool breath everywhere, and then the surrounding aura began to penetrate through the pores.
"Go." Chu Li said: "Beat him, but don't kill him, so as not to cause disputes between the two countries!"
"Yes!" Princess Anfu said loudly.
She turned around and strode out of the gate of Ruyi Temple.
When she walked out of the temple, she suddenly felt something strange, and there was still spiritual energy coming into her pores.
Originally, after stepping out of Ruyi Temple, the spiritual energy would no longer recognize it and no longer penetrate the body. However, this time it still penetrates. The spiritual energy will be transformed into internal force, providing a steady stream of strength.
She was overjoyed and looked down at her neck, knowing that it was because of the jade pendant.
She was instantly confident and with constant support from her inner strength, there was no way she could fail.
——
noon
There is a huge school martial arts field outside Chengyang Gate. At the northern end of the school martial arts field is a high platform, which is used to review soldiers. The emperor usually used the military school martial arts field at Chengyang Gate.
At this time, the school martial arts field was already overcrowded. Under the dense crowd, whispers formed a buzzing sound. The nearest part of the high platform was filled with senior officials in civilian clothes, with dense guards behind them.
Zhao Yancheng and Princess Anfu stood by the steps leading to the high platform, their faces solemn.
Gu Yuanhe stood beside them, looking up from time to time and looking into the distance.
"This Meng Guangzhao is so brave!" Song Kun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I'll go over and urge you."
"No need!" Zhao Yancheng said coldly.
His face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he hummed: "Anfu, can you defeat him?"
"Father, don't worry." Princess Anfu's face tightened and she snorted: "This Meng Guangzhao is deliberately damaging our dignity!"
"Then treat him well later and let him experience the enthusiasm of our Dayu!" Zhao Yancheng said coldly through gritted teeth.
There was a constant buzzing outside, but the senior officials near the school martial arts platform were silent and did not say a word. The atmosphere was oppressive. They could all feel the anger of Emperor Zhao Yancheng.
They secretly scolded Meng Guangzhao for being too arrogant and treating Yu as nothing.
"The Eighteenth Prince of Dakun has arrived——!" A long shout suddenly sounded.
The sound was like a bell, vibrating throughout the school martial arts field.
The buzz slowly dissipated, and people automatically parted ways. Eight sturdy guards walked in front, holding white jade folding fans and fanning them gently. Meng Guangzhao, dressed in blue, with a face like a crown jade and a handsome smile, walked in front.
Behind them, as graceful as a good young master in troubled times, eight more guards followed.
Surrounded by sixteen guards, Meng Guangzhao strolled to the steps of the high platform, put away his folding fan and clasped his fists with a smile: "I have met your Majesty, I have met your Royal Highness the Princess!"
Zhao Yancheng frowned and was too lazy to respond.
Although he was full of anger, he lost his magnanimity when he rebuked him so bluntly, especially in front of Prince Da Kun, so he could only suppress his anger and give him a cold look.
I want Anfu to give himself this breath!
Princess Anfu hummed: "Wait, you are a grown man who has more things to do than a woman, why don't you hurry up?!"
"Your Highness, do you really want to compete with me?" Meng Guangzhao smiled and said, "I am a compassionate person!"
"Stop being so verbose and hurry up!" Princess Anfu snorted: "I've dealt with you, but I still have to go back for lunch!"
Meng Guangzhao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her deeply: "Okay, let's learn from each other."
He jumped up the steps and onto the stage in two steps, his movements smooth and graceful, as if a kite was darting up.
Princess Anfu curled her red lips, pointed her toes, and looked like a white crane. She soared lightly into the sky, three meters above the stage, and fell lightly to the ground, soundlessly, like a feather.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then cheered loudly.
They had never seen such a light skill, so contrary to common sense, as if there was an invisible rope hanging from above, but there was no rope. They couldn't imagine how it was done.
Is it possible that Her Royal Highness the Princess is really not an ordinary person, and that her graceful body is as light as a feather?
