Chapter 912



912 Chapter 912-Empress

The prince of Xing Nan lost 21 horses and returned to his seat dejectedly.

The other party was a little girl, and he couldn’t compete with her in riding and shooting. He would be embarrassed if he said it out loud.

Gu Xin returned to her seat with some regret. Sigh, there were only twenty-one warhorses. If brother Yuanyuan were to become a regimental commander, there would be three hundred people. How good would it be if she won three hundred warhorses!

Suddenly, the princess of Xing Nan Kingdom stood up and cupped her hands toward the Emperor and Empress, ” “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I’ve heard that the noble daughter of the great Zhou Empire is proficient in the four Arts. I would like to ask for your advice.”

When the princess spoke, the Emperor could not be bothered with her. Otherwise, she would say that he was bullying the little girl.

Empress Xue continued,”I’ve heard that the women of the Southern Star region are as good at riding, shooting, singing, and dancing as men. There’s no need to set any more bets for them to ask for advice on the four Arts.” Otherwise, people will say that the great Zhou bullied Xing Nan.”

After a pause, Empress Xue continued,”Your Majesty, is chenqie right?” Although Prince Xing Nan is as noble as a Princess, we’d be bullying him if we bet on the four Arts. Let’s not do it!”

The Emperor held Empress Xue’s hand, his face full of affection.”The Empress is right!”

Cai Xiaolian almost laughed out loud. This couple was just trying to trick her. They said that men and women were equal, but in the end, the Prince set a bet, but the princess didn’t. Wasn’t this intentional?

And you said you bullied her, aren’t you provoking her to be unable to play the four Arts?

Didn’t the first emperor of xingnan come from the great Zhou? he was still a civil official, so how could he not teach his descendants about the four Arts?

Sure enough, Princess Xing Nan was provoked and said, ” “On behalf of Xing Nan, this one thanks His Majesty and Empress for your consideration. However, xingnan’s zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting skills were not bad either, so he might not lose to the great Zhou! May Your Majesty and Empress allow me to pick people and place a bet?”

Without waiting for the Emperor and Empress Xue to reply, Princess Xing Nan pointed at Gu Xin, ” “I want to compete with the youngest daughter of the top scholar’s family in zither and painting! If I win, I don’t want anything, just the warhorse that big brother lost to her. ”

Gu Xin didn’t say anything. She had learned about the zither and painting from her parents, but she couldn’t compare to them!

The other party looked to be the same age as her sister. What if she had been in elementary school since she was young?

“May I ask how the princess will compete?” Gu shouxin asked.

Gu Xin looked at Gu shouxin in surprise. Father, I’ve only been learning for two years! You can’t trick your daughter!

Seeing Gu Xin’s eyes, Princess Xing Nan had an idea, ” “Zither, let’s play together. Whoever stops first loses! Drawing, character, whoever draws the most similar, wins.”

“If you play the zither well, you’ll win, but what about the painting?” Empress Xue asked.

Princess xingnan replied ,’great Zhou will send ten, and xingnan will send ten. I’ll paint together with lady Gu, but we won’t write our names. Let these twenty people leave the hall when we’re painting and come in to evaluate after we’re done. I can guarantee that the 10 people from the Southern Star region will be absolutely fair.”

Gu Xin’s eyes moved as she asked,””Then, if there are ten people on each side, who will win?”

You really can’t beat me in this kind of competition. I only know a few songs, and one of them is specially for a battle song. Hehe ~

Gu shouxin,’how about we compete in time? If each side has ten people, whoever draws faster will win?”

“Alright!” Princess Xing Nan hesitated for a moment.

Your Highness, ” Gu Xin blinked her eyes, ” you only said what you’d do if you won. You didn’t say what you’d do if you lost.

Princess Xing Nan snorted,”Hmph!” I won’t lose. If I lose, you can say whatever you want, as long as I have it! Everyone here can be my witness!”

“Can you make the decision for your horse?” Gu Xin asked.
