Not only was he incomparable in terms of talent, even his character couldn't be compared. One was gentle and virtuous while the other was mad and berserk.
What was Miss Feng planning by making such a request?
"Oh? Does Qingyan want to compete with you? " The emperor's eyebrows shot up, as if he suddenly became interested. "Then what does Qingyan want to compete in?"
"Miss Tang said that Miss Tang would compete in whatever she wants." Feng Qingyan looked at Tang Kexin with a smile on his face. He looked very gentle, but his eyes were sharp.
Moreover, it carried a trace of arrogance and contempt towards Tang Kexin.
Hearing these words, some people could not help but secretly shake their heads. No matter what Tang Kexin wanted to compare, they would absolutely not be able to compare to her. Feng Qingyan was the capital's most talented girl.
"But Xin, what do you think?" Because of what happened a few days ago, His Majesty felt that Tang Kexin seemed to be hiding something, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see just how much Tang Kexin was hiding.
"His Majesty also knows that my son is ill, just in time. In the past, my son was sick, and he hasn't learned many things. There's no need for the emperor to make things difficult for my son." The empress knew everything about Tang Kexin the past ten years. Although she couldn't always stay by his side, she was very clear about his life.
In the past, Tang Kexin was foolish and didn't know anything. She didn't know anything at all. But now, she was better. How could she compare to Feng Qingyan? Moreover, she felt that a girl might not necessarily know those things.
The reason why Feng Qingyan worked so hard was mostly to marry Ye LanJue. However, if she really married Ye Lanjue and became his wangfei, then it would be impossible for her to grow up like this in front of everyone.
"Although this little girl is just right, she knows quite a few things. Perhaps, she can amaze the world with a single brilliant move!" When the emperor looked at the empress, his face was full of smiles. He felt that Tang Ke had such potential.
Feng Qingyan's provocation was too obvious. If Tang Kexin did not accept it, others would think that Tang Kexin was afraid of Feng Qingxi.
"Your majesty, we have to practice the zither, chess, and painting since childhood. Our hearts have always been ill, how can we have the time to learn those things?" The empress, on the other hand, was slightly dissatisfied.
Feng Qingyan was quite sensible in the past, why did he not know his place today?
If she wanted to show off, she could use other opportunities to perform, so there was no need for her to worry about it.
Esteemed Empress suddenly thought back to when Tang Ke Xin and Night Tide had held hands in the flower garden. She was the last to arrive, and the only thing she saw was this little. Perhaps there was something else she hadn't seen before.
However, Feng Qingyan had been in the garden the entire time, so he had definitely seen it.
The last time at the Kunning Palace, the Emperor had asked Tang Kexin about it. At that time, Tang Kexin had said that she didn't know anything, but she had sung a song, and even though that song was novel, even though it was joyful, it was still far from being able to compare with Feng Qingyan's song.
"Everything will be decided by Miss Tang. Whatever you say, Miss Tang, we will compete." At this moment, Feng Qingyan had clearly heard the conversation between the emperor and the empress. However, not only did she not have the slightest intention of backing down, she had even more of an overbearing attitude.
It seemed that the incident in the garden had dealt a huge blow to her.
The corner of Tang Ke's mouth slightly widened. Of course, she knew that Feng Qingyan was treating her as a love rival, but she was actually Ye Lanjue's temporary shield. Feng Qingyan's real love rival was not her.
There was no need for Feng Qingyan to treat her in such a manner.
"Tang Kexin, what are you most proficient at?" Feng Qingyan even directly looked at Tang Kexin, the forceful look in her eyes was even more obvious.
"Mm. To be honest, I really don't know how to." Tang Kexin didn't hide it at all. Moreover, she also didn't feel that it was an embarrassing matter. At this moment, she only felt that Feng Qingxi was somewhat pitiful. To fall in love with someone she shouldn't have was a very painful thing to do.
Because of this, Tang Ke Xin didn't want to argue with her.
"Miss Tang, one thing you know, right?" However, Feng Qingyan still did not give up and instead became more overbearing.
Tang Kexin's eyes sunk. It seemed that Feng Qingyan wanted to embarrass her and humiliate her.
"Actually, we know a lot of things. Those things definitely won't be difficult, but since we agreed to Lil 'Ran's request, it'll let us all have a feast for our eyes." Of course, Imperial Concubine Ming didn't mind watching the commotion, so she started to fan the flames on the side.
"Nope." Tang Kexin glanced at Feng Qingyan and coldly said. Actually, apart from painting her, she didn't know how to do anything else. It's just that she didn't want to show it here.
"Why is Miss Tang so modest?" It was clear that at this moment, Feng Qingyan was so jealous that she had gone mad with jealousy. She had long since lost her usual grace. "Miss Tang is so smart, how could she not know anything?"
At this moment, she was wholeheartedly trying to humiliate Tang Kexin in front of Night Tide Jue. She wanted to let him see who was the most outstanding amongst them all. Who was the most suitable person for him?
"It doesn't matter whether she will or not, all she has to do is look." However, this time, Ye Lanjue suddenly opened his mouth. His expression was still as indifferent as usual, but when he looked at Tang Ke Xin, there was a hint of indulgence in his gaze.
The meaning behind his words completely shocked the crowd. Originally, his sudden words had shocked them, but the meaning behind his words was so obvious that it seemed to be hinting at something.
Would it be unimportant, as long as he could read it? Where did His Highness compare Tang Kexin before saying such words?
There wasn't much that he could do without acting.
Even the concubines in the palace, other than the empress, had to perform sometimes, even if they were imperial concubines.
Only the emperor's first wife had such power.
Compared to the third prince, only his consort would have that power.
Then, was Third Prince telling others that he wanted to marry Tang Kexin as his consort?
She suddenly discovered another characteristic of the Third Prince, which was that he protected her short. Even if she and the Third Prince were only faking lovers and working together, the Third Prince's short protection was truly too much for anyone to say.
It didn't matter if she didn't, she would just watch. She liked those words.
The empress was shocked at first, but when she turned to look at Youlan, her eyes were filled with emotion.
The crown prince's expression instantly changed. He had never thought that Ye Lanji would say such a thing in public.
"What does Your Highness mean by this?" Feng Qingyan's expression instantly turned pale and her body became visibly stiff. She could not help but ask with a slight tremble in her voice.
"What This King means is, when is it your turn to interfere?" Ye Lan's narrowed eyes coldly swept over Feng Qingyan, and his cold voice contained a dangerous tone that chilled one's heart.
In the past, Feng Qingyun had always thought of ways to create opportunities to meet him, to get close to him. The reason he didn't say anything was because he disdained to care about it.
However, since Feng Qingyan dared to provoke his woman like this, then don't blame him for not showing any mercy.
He could also take this opportunity to make her completely give up.
With that sentence, Feng Qingyan's originally pale, bloodless face instantly turned into a sheet of white paper. His body uncontrollably shook violently, and his eyes widened with all his might as he stared in disbelief at Ye Lanjue.
She thought that in his heart, there was still some place for her. Even though it wasn't that important, it was always different from other women. After all, she could always get close to him, and he had never mentioned it before.
Yet, at this moment, he actually said such words to her in public?
She felt so ashamed, so embarrassed.
As he looked at Tang Kexin, he secretly let out a sigh. It seemed that the Three Sovereigns were really different from one another. Perhaps, the Three Sovereigns really liked the heart.
Thus, he could only bury his fondness in his heart forever.
"Qingyan, why don't you play a song for everyone." Senior Concubine Ming saw that Feng Qingxi was about to faint, and also understood that at this moment, she was in an awkward position. She wanted to break the current stalemate and ease the current atmosphere.
However, with the words of the third prince, Senior Concubine Ming's current actions obviously made Feng Qingxi feel even more awkward.
"Yes." No matter how awkward Feng Qingyan was, when Imperial Concubine Ming had spoken, she could not refuse. Thus, when she came back to her senses, she still replied in a low voice.
This was the difference between Tang Kexin and Feng Qingxi.
If Tang Ke was unwilling, she would absolutely not give in. If she could directly refuse, then she would directly refuse. If she could not directly refuse, then she would have to turn the corner and reject him.
However, Feng Qingxi was different. At this moment, even though she had suffered such a heavy blow, even though her heart was extremely uncomfortable, even if her heart was unwilling, she still had to agree.
Although Feng Qingyan's zither skills were not bad, under such circumstances, she was completely absent-minded. When she played, she was actually not as good as an ordinary person.
"Your majesty, it's still too early to eat right now. This subject hasn't returned to the capital for nearly two years. I wish to compete with the other generals and seek their permission." Gu Xiuran couldn't help but to open his mouth when he saw Feng Qingyan's currently absent-minded expression.
"Yes, General Gu's suggestion is good." "The Emperor readily agreed." Let's go, let's go now. I haven't moved an arrow in a long time, let's test it out against General Gu today. "
As the emperor spoke, he had already stood up. As the emperor stood up, so did everyone else.
Feng Qingyan stopped as well. However, when he heard the emperor mention archery, his eyes flashed slightly, and a light quickly appeared in the depths of his eyes.
She knew how to shoot, too. Gu Xiuran had taught her father and she was good at it. Although she couldn't compare to men, no woman could compete with her.
Just now, Tang Kexin had refused the zither, chess, and painting. In that case, she could propose a competition of archery between her and Tang Kexin.
The female had never seen an arrow before. Not only had no one else seen it, even the emperor had never seen it. What the emperor had never seen, he definitely wanted to see it.
At that time, she definitely wouldn't give Tang Ke a chance to refuse.
Today, she was determined to beat Tang Kexin. She was determined to let Ye Batian see just how great the gap was between her and Tang Kexin.
Moreover, if she were to continue to display her archery skills, it might cause Ye Lanji to be shocked and look at her in a different light. Of course, the most important thing was that she could completely defeat Tang Kexin and cause her to suffer a crushing defeat.
