Chapter 123

She mockingly swept her eyes over Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan, “I heard that both of you could ride a horse quite well. This Princess would like to ask for guidance… you will definitely do me this favor, right?”

“What!? When did we ever say we’re good at horse-riding?” Jing Yue said, frowning.

“Oh? Is the weight of this Princess’ words incomparable to your own?” Princess LeYang narrowed her eyes and stared at Jing Yue with both warning and provocation.

‘F*ck….. This kind of words again!’

‘This Princess LeYang is exactly like her older sister, Imperial Consort Fu. She’s obviously the one using her ident.i.ty to put pressure on people, yet she still has an accusing look on her face!’

‘She really aggravates people!’

“Princess LeYang, how could that be? I’m only afraid that when the time comes and Princess LeYang loses too miserably, we would then be blamed.” Jing Yue jeered.

Princess ZiLing’s and ShangGuan LingLan’s eyes opened wide upon hearing such arrogant words.

“What a clever mouth!” Princess LeYang hadn’t spoken, yet a cold and mocking voice suddenly came from behind Jing Yue, causing everyone to turn their gazes towards its owner. They could see a woman in magnificent clothes walking towards them while holding someone’s arm for support. A cold gaze was staring straight at Jing Yue, this gaze precisely belongs to Imperial Consort who had just arrived, Fu RuoQing.

Princess LeYang and everyone hastily dismounted, bent their knees and greeted, “Greetings to Imperial Consort.”

“I’ve heard everything.” Fu RuoQing stood in front of everyone. There was a slight smile on her lips as she said, “Miss Jing Yue wants to have a riding match with LeYang?”

“It isn’t that I want to have a match with her, it’s her that insists on having a match with me.” Jing Yue spoke indifferently with a shrug. She slightly s.h.i.+fted her gaze to size Fu RuoQing up.

‘Didn’t they say that she just lost her child? Why is it that she doesn’t have the slightest look of someone who recently had a ‘miscarriage’?’

“Since it’s a match, naturally there should be a witness.” A thread of hate flashed in Fu RuoQing’s eyes when she looked at Jing Yue. Disregarding Jing Yue’s words completely, she selfishly said, “Since I happen to be a bit interested, why don’t I help you both and act as a witness?’

“Imperial Consort Fu, this isn’t appropriate.” Jing Yue frowned and said, “Everyone knows that Princess LeYang is your younger sister. It would be unfair if you decided to help Princess LeYang!”

“How can I do such a thing!” Fu RuoQing said with a frown, glaring at Jing Yue.

“Anyway, I’m not you. How will I know you’d do it or not?” Jing Yue shrugged carelessly, giving Fu RuoQing the urge to retort and defend herself.

“Jing Yue’s words aren’t wrong.” The words resounded just as Fu RuoQing was about to justify herself. Everyone raised their heads in surprise.

The Empress has arrived. Every detail of the phoenix crown and gown she wore were more exquisite than those of Fu RuoQing’s!

She really deserved to be called the Empress!

“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Everyone, one after another, bent their knees in respect. Jing Yue secretly glanced at Empress Fei YaZhu. Today, the Empress’ complexion was clearly a lot better compared to the first time they met. Sure enough, the women in the harem needed the Emperor to moisten them!

Jing Yue was secretly laughing in her heart. She s.h.i.+fted her eyes and saw that Fu RuoQing was gritting her teeth out of anger. Seeing this, Jing Yue’s mood turned a lot better.

Fu RuoQing slowly put a smile on her face, looking at the Empress, “Why did Her Majesty come so early? Could it be… His Majesty has already arrived?”

“Younger sister doesn’t need to look anymore. The Emperor is still attending the ceremony… He knows that my health isn’t good so he let me come first.” Empress Fei YaZhu flaunted. With a smile, she said, “If I didn’t come, how could I have seen an interesting scene like this?”

For this ‘Why is it that she doesn’t have the slightest look of someone who recently had a ‘miscarriage’? I know Fu RuoQing aborted the child, I’m not sure if ‘miscarriage’ is the proper term in this case, but in the end what the sentence want to express is that Fu RuoQing doesn’t seem weak like someone who had just lost a lot of blood from miscarriage. If I wrote ‘abortion’ instead of miscarriage, I felt like the sentence would speak more about her emotional state instead of her physical state. Anyway…, like that… I’m rambling… oh well….
