After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 175 Prize
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned; in the end, the country fell, and the family perished.

Qi Shujie died in the Crown Prince's arms.

He looked at the crown prince and felt relieved.

At least he saved the prince, but if there is an afterlife, he wants to be himself, instead of wearing women's clothes and doing what he likes.

So, Qi Shujie ultimately died?

[Of course! With the Crown Prince's love-struck mind, he even gave away something so important, how could he not die!]

Fang Lingchu had a question.

[Guagua, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it.]

[Host, when did you become this kind of person?]

Fang Lingchu quickly did something, feeling a little embarrassed.

[That's right, has the Crown Prince discovered that Qi Shujie is actually a man?]

[Of course not! At that time, the Crown Prince's heart and eyes were only for women; how could he possibly have noticed?]

[Guagua, didn't you say the Crown Prince was a normal person? How come there are women around here?]

The system said: "Host, the Crown Prince has a problem. The Fourth Prince just happened to discover this, so he specially prepared a special woman for the Crown Prince. That woman has been taking medicinal baths since she was a child, and there is something on her body that can reassure the Crown Prince."

As luck would have it, that woman was in love with the Prince of Yan's heir, and with their help from within and without, the Crown Prince was besieged.

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Fang Lingchu could only say...

Love money and yourself first, and then love others.

Love your partner eight parts, and keep two parts for yourself; otherwise, you'll only make yourself unhappy.

After the two finished their discussion, they watched the song and dance performance.

Guagua, this young lady is amazing!

They possess both literary and military talents; they can discuss national affairs and provide visual pleasure. It's true, this world couldn't function without girls!

The system also has this feeling.

Look at that girl, she plays the piano so well, it sounds so good! It's just that the lyrics are so-so.

Host, if we paired it with songs from your era, it would definitely be a showstopper.

Fang Lingchu stared intently, her hands never stopping the fruit she was eating.

[This kind of light and refreshing style is quite nice to listen to, elegant. Okay, quiet down, let's watch the performance.]

……

The Third Princess, who had gone out, met Qi Wanqiu by the pond.

Looking at the figure sitting quietly there, Qi Wanqiu hesitated to go up.

I acted impulsively and in a moment of irrationality.

Now that she's being asked to go there, she doesn't know what to say.

The Third Princess was born into a noble family and was pampered by the Empress. She was just a deputy general. Although her family had some military achievements, it was not certain that anyone would be interested in her.

Thinking about this, Qi Wanqiu felt somewhat inferior.

She's a rough person, she doesn't understand romance or the arts, and the Third Princess might not like her.

The two of them just stayed there quietly.

The Third Princess looked at the lake and heard Qi Wanqiu catching up.

Why didn't she come forward?
Were those words just empty talk?
Someone as capable as her would probably prefer a young general. Would she really like a man like me, who is weak and only knows a little bit of martial arts?
Perhaps they've never met anyone like themselves before, and it's just a fleeting infatuation.

What she just did was probably just a momentary impulse!
The royal dignity cannot be offended; Father Emperor must already know my identity.

How will Father Emperor deal with him?

The two looked at each other, feeling only disappointment.

"Princess, please go back soon. It's cold by the lake. I'll take my leave now."

"Qi Wanqiu, do you really like me?"

Qi Wanqiu, who had turned to leave, stopped when she heard the Third Princess's words.

"Princess, you've never been to the borderlands! Do you know how strong the sandstorms are there, how bad the water tastes, or what kind of lives the people there lead?"

Qi Wanqiu's three consecutive questions instantly dampened most of Long Yunlu's newly mustered courage.

"I...I don't know, but can you tell me?" Long Yunlu's voice was a little soft, but it was a male voice.

Qi Wanqiu turned around, looked into his eyes, and said, "I can speak for you whenever you wish, Princess."

Long Yunlu was also looking at her; she could see herself reflected in Qi Wanqiu's eyes.

"If I survive tonight, come and meet me in the southeast corner of the palace."

"it is good."

……

[Guagua, what do they mean by this?]

Fang Lingchu ate while reading the story formed by the words.

It's probably because the Third Princess was afraid that if she died, it would affect Qi Wanqiu's future.

Qi Wanqiu was afraid that the Third Princess wouldn't be able to endure the hardships of going to the border with her.

Others: Didn't you say you were going to watch the performance seriously?
Okay, I don't understand this kind of love. If two people clearly like each other, why not just get together?

After a while, the performance was almost over.

"Ding'an, which performance do you think deserves first place?"

Fang Lingchu was stunned.

She didn't even look at it, how would she know who could win first place!
"Who does the eldest princess feel is better?"

Fang Lingchu returned the question to Fang Lingchu.

"I think both are fine, but the prize for first place was provided by you, Ding'an, so you can decide on this one!"

Fang Lingchu: ...What?

[Guagua, why do I feel like the Princess is being sarcastic? What does that mean?]

[Host, that's just how she is; she doesn't have any bad intentions.]

Princess: Did she say something wrong again?

Second Princess: This royal elder sister of hers! She always does good deeds but ends up doing bad things.

"Now that everyone has finished watching the performance, let's have everyone choose the best one, but please don't choose yourself!"

The second princess stepped forward to take charge and directly offered a solution.

[Guagua, this second princess is quite clever! She even thought of this voting idea.]

[Host, this is just an ancient world, not a world of idiots. Don't make a fuss.]

Upon hearing the Second Princess's words, everyone selected the performance they thought was truly excellent.

Just then, the Third Princess and Qi Wanqiu returned.

[Host, why do I feel like the Third Princess's eyes are red? Has she been crying?]

How would I know? I'll think about that later. Let's prepare the prizes first.

Fang Lingchu called Raspberry over.

"Raspberry, go to the carriage, to the second hidden compartment, and take out the book 'Legend of the Beasts'."

"Yes, ma'am."

[Host, are you planning to give that book as a reward? You seemed to like it quite a bit.]

I quite like it, after all, it's imaginative! But I'm rather lazy, so I'd rather leave this kind of good stuff to ambitious people like them!

Okay, whatever you want! I have an electronic version anyway.

Why didn't you tell me you had the electronic version sooner? We could have read it together tonight.

people below.

"What kind of book is 'Legends of a Hundred Beasts'? Have you ever heard of it?"

"No, but if it's something the princess sent, it must be something good. I just don't know who got it."

"I have a feeling it will be Miss Qin's peacock dance."

"Not necessarily, it could also be Miss Qi's sword dance!"
