Chapter 110 Preparing to Marry Princess Rong'an
Sang Qing became more and more excited as she thought about it.

It seems that the Regent's Palace will soon have a mistress!
Yunwei, unaware of his thoughts, looked at him suspiciously, "Why does it have to be a competition? Does your master have some kind of plan?"

Sang Qing looked around and lowered her voice, saying, "The county princess guessed correctly. The master did indeed have a plan. The real purpose of the Yue Kingdom sending envoys this time was to probe the strength and weakness of our Wei Kingdom. The Yue Kingdom princess also had the same purpose, which is why the master did not refuse her unreasonable request."

So, Your Highness, we cannot lose. Do you understand what I mean?

Yunwei frowned.

Is this Rong Zhen's purpose?

She had learned the purpose of the Yue Kingdom envoy's visit to Wei Kingdom from the conversation between Rong Zhen and Cui Shao when she was at the Cui family's house last time.

Therefore, Rong Zhen arranged for her to compete against the Yue Kingdom simply to prevent the Yue Kingdom's conspiracy from succeeding.
"Among all the noble ladies in the capital, only the county princess is skilled in martial arts and can compete with the princess of Yue Kingdom. If there were no other suitable candidates, the master would not have allowed the county princess to participate," Sang Qing added.

Yunwei felt something was off. "Is that really the only reason?"

Sang Qing stared at her with wide eyes, "Then what else does the county princess think there could be?"

Yunwei paused, remembering what the emperor had said.

She thought...

She shook her head. It couldn't be what she thought; Rong Zhen already had a woman he liked.

Meeting Sang Qing's probing gaze, she coughed lightly, "No, let's go."

Sang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at the horse farm, the officials and their families of Wei, as well as the envoys of Yue, had also arrived.

They were all sitting in the stands.

Upon Yunwei's arrival, all eyes immediately fell upon her.

Thinking back to the skill she displayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, everyone was still deeply shocked.

It's unbelievable that such a seemingly delicate woman possesses such unfathomable martial arts skills; few men could rival her.

Some busybodies asked Li Yaoting, "Between the General of the Central Army and the Princess of Rong'an, whose martial arts are superior?"

"Given Princess Rong'an's exceptional qualities, how could the General of the Household be willing to divorce her?"

"Is it because the General of the Central Army can't defeat Princess Rong'an?"

Hearing the barrage of questions from others, Li Yaoting's face turned pale, but he couldn't lash out.

"What's the point of a woman being so outstanding? No matter how outstanding she is, she'll still end up as a divorced woman," Chen Yuniang muttered under her breath.

"Madam Li, did Princess Rong'an divorce because she was too outstanding? But I heard that you stole her man and destroyed her family?" A sharp-eared noblewoman couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yuniang's expression changed. "Madam Qi, where did you hear that? My husband and I have known each other for a long time."

"Everyone in the capital is talking about it. They say you married the Earl of Jing'an without any betrothal or marriage ceremony, and then after returning to the capital, you pressured the wife to resign. The Princess of Rong'an was forced to divorce you," said Madam Qi.

In fact, the rumors about Chen Yuniang are not like that. She said this because she was at Shou Kang Palace this morning, and she heard it from Yun Wei.

Chen Yuniang trembled with anger, her smile forced. "Madam Qi is unaware of the truth, yet she parrots what others say."

Madam Qi looked down on her and said with a half-smile, "No matter what the inside story is, you are the one who benefited. It's not nice of you to take advantage and then act innocent."

Chen Yuniang choked.

So, is Madam Qi standing up for that bitch Yun Wei?
Chen Yuniang was very angry.

Upon seeing Yun Wei again, the Moon Kingdom princess's pupils contracted, and she instinctively hid behind her elder brother, whispering, "Brother, can I not compete?"

Her opponent was stronger than her, and no matter how she tried, she couldn't win, so she might as well just admit defeat.

Xuanyuan Ke frowned slightly. "Our Xuanyuan family has no cowards. Besides, it was you who proposed the challenge. They accepted, but you backed down. Wouldn't that make us a laughingstock?"

The Moon Kingdom princess muttered to herself: If she had known Yunwei was so powerful, she wouldn't have provoked her.

She felt extremely regretful.

However, before going on stage, she tugged at her brother's sleeve and said, "If my life is in danger, brother, you must save me."

Xuanyuan Ke's temple throbbed, but seeing his sister's worried expression, he nodded nonetheless.

The Moon Kingdom princess took a deep breath and stepped onto the field with a death-defying resolve. Xuan Yuan Ke looked at the woman on horseback in the distance, his eyes filled with deep thought.

He felt that this woman looked somewhat familiar.

Has he seen her somewhere before?

As the gong sounded, Yunwei squeezed her horse's flanks, and her steed galloped off.

At the same time, the princess of the Moon Kingdom also rode off on horseback.

Looking at Yunwei, who was standing next to her, the Yue Kingdom princess thought to herself: Yunwei is skilled in martial arts, but she may not be a better rider than her.

With this in mind, she was filled with energy again.

"drive!"

However, she soon suffered an even bigger blow.

The two horses, which had been running side by side, gradually widened the gap and then drifted further and further apart.

When she finished riding a lap and turned back, Yunwei had already returned to the starting point.

Princess of the Moon Kingdom: "..."

"Rong'an County wins the second game!"

The moment the Moon Kingdom princess returned to the starting point, the master of ceremonies announced the result.

The princess of the Moon Kingdom was immediately discouraged.

She couldn't help but turn to look at Yunwei.

Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, she couldn't help but recall her own arrogant words in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and her face flushed slightly.

She was truly ignorant and arrogant.

Yunwei noticed her scrutiny and turned to look at her.

The Moon Kingdom princess lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed, and tightened her grip on the whip, whispering, "I admit defeat."

Yun Wei was stunned for a moment, "You're admitting defeat just like that?"

The princess of the Moon Kingdom nodded. "Yes."

“But there’s still one more match.” Yunwei raised an eyebrow.

“Even if we compete again, I can’t win. You’ve already won two rounds. Besides, poetry competitions are pointless,” said the Moon Kingdom princess. She couldn’t think of any other competitions at the time, so she just picked poetry as an option.

"Actually, you just can't write poetry at all, can you?" Yun Wei said with a half-smile.

The Moon Kingdom princess looked embarrassed and pointed to the target not far away, saying, "But I can shoot arrows, and perhaps my archery skills are better than yours."

"Then let's change it to archery?" Yunwei asked.

The princess of the Moon Kingdom was overjoyed and nodded quickly, "That would be wonderful!"

Therefore, the third round of the competition was changed from composing poems to archery.

Each person has five arrows; whoever hits the bullseye the most times wins.

As the gong was struck, the third round of the competition began.

While the Moon Kingdom princess was still aiming, Yunwei's arrow had already been shot out at lightning speed.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk..."

All five arrows hit the bullseye.

Princess Yue had only shot two arrows when Yun Wei had already shot all of them, put away her bow, and stood aside watching her shoot.

Under her gaze, the Moon Kingdom princess's hand trembled, causing her to lose her aim, and the remaining three arrows all went astray.

The people of Wei were overjoyed, while the envoys from Yue were all dejected and gloomy.

Rong Xin was also happy, but he had something even more to be happy about, which was...

"In today's competition, Princess Rong'an emerged victorious. As I stated before, whoever wins the competition will marry the Regent." Rong Xin said, turning to look at Rong Zhen with malice in her eyes. "Uncle, you had no objections at the time, so you must have agreed with my decision. In that case, Uncle, prepare to marry Princess Rong'an."
