Chapter 124

“Hehe (chuckle)…… the Emperor treats the Empress really well.” Fu RuoQing said, forcing out a hollow laugh. Her face turning slightly pale.

“Jing Yue, LeYang, I’ve already heard of your matter when I arrived.” From the side of her eyes, Empress Fei YaZhu glanced at Fu RuoQing, saying, “Since we have to be impartial and fair, it would be better to let me be the judge. I am the mother of the country and have not the slightest relations.h.i.+p with both of you. How do you feel about this?”

“If we can have Her Majesty personally attend to this matter, we naturally wouldn’t have any complaint.” Jing Yue grinned and said, “But… Since this is a match, there should naturally be a prize to make it interesting.”

“O? What kind of prize do you want?” Empress Fei YaZhu s.h.i.+fted her gaze towards Jing Yue and spoke. A faint smile flickered in her eyes.

“I, this person, have always been extremely interested in gold, silver and treasures.” Jing Yue’s eyes s.h.i.+fted around before saying, “If I win, just let Princess LeYang send me twenty million taels!”

“What a huge appet.i.te!” Princess LeYang sneered. She stared at Jing Yue and said, “If you lose, this Princess wants you to stand on the racecourse and shout ten times to everyone that you are an idiot! And then, you will have to kneel and wors.h.i.+p this Princess!”

“No Problem!” Without thinking further, Jing Yue agreed at once. She stared provocatively at Princess LeYang and said, “But I really am afraid that Princess LeYang would go back on her words, it would be better for us to write a contract as a proof!”

“I have the same idea!” Princess LeYang spoke, raising her chin.

Like that, under everyone’s stunned gaze, the two set up the contract, giving each their fingerprint. ShangGuan LingLan didn’t even have the time to say anything. When she finally saw Jing Yue pressing her print, she hastily dragged Jing Yue to the side with a very anxious expression on her face, saying, “Are you crazy!? Can you even ride a horse?”

“I can… A bit… But I haven’t ridden a horse for a very long time.” Jing Yue shrugged and spoke, pondering over her first time riding a horse. She remembered riding into the forest with Xing Er when they met those a.s.sa.s.sins!

“……” ShangGuan LingLan’s lips were firmly pursed. She took a deep breath and said, “I think it would be better for me to ride on your behalf!”

“Nonsense… I’ve already put my fingerprint.” Jing Yue waved her hand, hinting at ShangGuan LingLan not to worry. The attendant was already leading a horse towards her while one by one, everyone was stepping onto the high platform to watch. Jing Yue raised her head to examine the horse. It could still be considered a good horse.

ShangGuan LingLan still felt disturbed in her heart. She looked worriedly at Jing Yue and said, “Jing Yue, be careful.”

“Rest a.s.sured.” Jing Yue mischievously stuck out her tongue before turning around and mounting the horse. Her efficient movements surprised everyone, but just as she got on the horse, her body already started to slightly sway as she was unable to sit steadily. ShangGuan LingLan, who was just starting to feel relieved, suddenly felt her heart tightened again.

“YueYue really is too impulsive.” Ning XiangYuan’s face was also full of worry as she watched Jing Yue ride the horse to the starting point. That extremely cautious look, which part of it showed that she could ride a horse?

Mischief flickered in Jing Yue’s eyes. She s.h.i.+fted her gaze towards Princess LeYang with a ridiculing smile on her lips. Seeing this kind of Jing Yue, Princess LeYang arrogantly raised her chin and sneered at her, “Relax, this Princess won’t let you lose too miserably.”

“It’s me who should be saying that to you!” Jing Yue spoke, staring back at Princess LeYang with just as much arrogance.

“Such a sharp tongue, I really want to see how you’ll end up later!” Princess LeYang sneered. Following an Imperial Guard’s shout, she drove her horse and sped away without any halt. Jing Yue used all her power and flung the whip but her own horse stopped for a moment because of the pain, before finally das.h.i.+ng forward.
