After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Chapter 226 Where does she get the confidence from?

After being rejected by the Prince of Yan so bluntly, Ye Xiu could not insist any further, otherwise, it would damage the reputation of their Nanye Kingdom. However, as a woman, Ye Yao could not take these into consideration, so when she saw Ye Xiu remained silent, she simply stood up and said, "Since the Prince of Yan's Mansion can only have one mistress, and the Prince of Yan can only have one princess, then show your true talents!"

Then, without giving Chu Nanyue any chance to refuse, she immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, our Southern Ye Kingdom has come thousands of miles to propose marriage, you won't even give us this fair chance, right? If it gets out, people will say that the Princess of Yan is just a useless vase."

Back then, Xiao Hanye defeated the Nanye Kingdom, which was also known for its military power. She thought he was just a rough man who wielded swords and sticks, but she didn't expect that he was so charming.

She fell in love with him at first sight.

Such an outstanding man should belong to her, a noble princess.

Apart from being a little prettier and having some medical skills, what else can compare to this woman Chu Nanyue?

She is the most honorable princess of the Nanye Kingdom. She has been proficient in all kinds of skills since she was a child. It is no exaggeration to say that the number of masters her father has invited for her is probably more than the number Chu Nanyue has ever seen.

So, what can she compare with her?

Xiao Hanye's ruthless rejection of Nanye had already made Nanye lose face. If the emperor rejected Ye Yao's request again at this time, it would be too unbecoming of a great country, so he smiled and agreed: "In this case, the Princess of Yan will have a sparring match with Princess Nanye!"

Xiao Hanye said, "What's the point of meaningless competition? I'm marrying a woman of my dreams, not a perfect woman. If that's the case, I might as well set up a first-class platform in Prince Yan's mansion and watch all kinds of women compete with each other every day!"

He had no doubt about Princess Nanye's talent. Such a gifted girl must have been carefully educated since childhood.

But what about Chu Nanyue?

Her limbs were stiff and she twisted her hips even when turning around, so dancing was out of the question for her.

As for musical instruments? She seems to only be able to play some sleazy music.

It's not that he despises her for not knowing anything, but the things she knows are really not presentable. If they were to learn healing, cooking, or making some small inventions... he wouldn't have to worry, but women of their generation would learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting...

Chu Nanyue could see that he was protecting her, but seeing that the old emperor was about to fly into a rage, she quickly stood up and said calmly, "Since Princess Nanye insists on competing with me, then I will accept. Princess Nanye is absolutely stunning, but the women of our Beixiao country are not bad either. Let's compete today to see which of the two countries' women is more powerful, shall we?"

The old emperor frowned slightly. He had not expected that Chu Nanyue would raise the competition between them to the national level. He immediately turned his anger towards Xiao Hanye to her. However, he had agreed to it himself, so he could not get angry. Therefore, he could only say in a low voice: "This competition is related to your status in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. You must go all out!"

If she loses, he will demote her to the fourth master's concubine again!

Chu Nanyue's eyes flickered, and her face was filled with impressive confidence: "Your Majesty, rest assured. Since I dare to accept the challenge, there is no reason for me to lose."

"Chu Nanyue, I really don't know where you get the confidence from." Ye Yao didn't expect Chu Nanyue to be so scheming, and immediately hit her mercilessly, "You must accept the defeat. If you lose later, don't cry to King Yan and use the beauty trap!"

Xiao Hanye also looked at her from a distance. Where did she get the confidence from? He was quite looking forward to it!

But the next moment, he felt that this expectation was about to be dashed.

Chu Nanyue replied, "Don't worry, I won't do anything shameful, but I have a difficult task now."

Ye Yao also thought that she was scared, so she said proudly: "If you are scared, just admit defeat quickly, otherwise you will lose everything!"

Chu Nanyue nodded in agreement and said, "After we finish discussing this, I'll see if I can keep it for you."

As soon as she said this, the crowd burst into laughter.

They have broadened their horizons today. The prince's wives are no ordinary people. However, this is also due to the power they have been given. How can ordinary people enter the royal family?

The one who has the last laugh in the royal family is never a vase!

The emperor's sharp eyes swept through the hall, and the hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle. Chu Nanyue also said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the difficulty I am talking about is the competition between me and Princess Nanye today. It concerns the reputation of our Beixiao Kingdom and Nanye Kingdom, so it is difficult to judge the winner."

Everyone thought so and agreed that each country would naturally favor its own people.

Xiao Hanye had not yet caught up with Chu Nanyue's train of thought. He stared at Chu Nanyue without blinking, while the old emperor frowned in thought.

At this time, Chu Nanyue saw that everyone was being tricked, so she quickly took the opportunity to say, "In that case, let's have a listening contest. For the sake of fairness, when Princess Nanye and I play the music, the referee will wear a blindfold. And because the customs of Beixiao and Nanye are different, the music we choose must not be related to the unique customs of our country. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Oh?" After hearing this, the old emperor's sharp eyes rarely flashed with a strange light. He didn't expect Chu Nanyue to be so confident.

This is equivalent to on-the-spot performance, which is novel but also greatly increases the difficulty of the competition.

He had no objection, so he consulted Ye Yao in a very great manner: "What does Princess Nanye think?"

Ye Yao was very confident in her piano skills, so she raised her hand and replied, "I have no objection, but who should we choose as the judge?"

The emperor thought for a moment, then said impartially: "Then let's choose the Crown Prince of Nanye, the Crown Prince of the Western Regions, the Prince of Yu... the Prince of Ning!"

Since Chu Nanyue's idea has been chosen, King Yan cannot be chosen anymore. This is the fairness and justice he should have as a king.

Seeing her plan succeed, Chu Nanyue suppressed her pride and bowed slightly, saying modestly, "In that case, I will go down and prepare first!"

Xiao Hanye looked at her departing back and finally followed her train of thought. He didn't ask her to do anything earth-shattering for him later, but just asked her not to play those decadent songs.

However, this only remaining expectation disappeared the moment she stepped onto the stairs.

Was she determined to play some seductive music, and was she rehearsing in advance how she would kowtow to him and admit her mistake?

Ye Yao passed by her, raised her eyebrows and looked back at him, then left gracefully with light steps.
