C21 The world was unpredictable!

Seeing that Chu Linglang was laughing heartily, Chun He deliberately teased her, "Your Empress Dowager, think about how to deal with Princess Hua first! She is famous for being unreasonable and willful. Even the emperor is helpless against her."

"Then what? I am her stepmother, the Empress Dowager of Xiliang Country. No matter what, she wouldn't dare to do anything reckless." As she spoke, Chu Linglang grabbed a bunch of grapes and placed them in her mouth.

Just as Chun He was about to retort, Chu Linglang said, "Did you count the gold, silver, and jewelry last time? Give me the list. I want to look at it carefully."

Chun He stuck out her tongue, "You better wait for Yulan to do such a detailed job!"

"Do you expect Yulan to do everything for you? I don't think you gave Yulan much to eat." Chu Linglang said unhappily.

"Your Empress Dowager, did you see Shangguan Ruofu's answer sheet today?" Chun He quickly changed the topic.

"I didn't. What is it?"

"Your Empress Dowager, Shangguan Ruofu is a woman who has both cultural relics and art. She is a rare woman."

"Oh? Is it the woman who has a big red face and looks normal?"

"Yes, Your Empress Dowager. She is Prime Minister Shangguan's most admired daughter. However, she is the one whom she likes the most. Her family's official position is a little low. I heard that Prime Minister Shangguan had tried to stop her from doing so. This time, she was forced to choose a concubine."

Shangguan Ruofu was currently admiring the flowers in the imperial garden. She smelled the fragrance of the flowers. This time, I will do my best to let father see that even without the support of a husband, a woman can still make a name for herself.

Feng Hua was chatting with Du Yutong. Feng Xuan quietly walked in and covered Feng Hua's eyes. "Aiya, Royal Brother is still playing the same old trick." Feng Hua laughed.

Du Yutong quickly knelt down. "Your servant greets the Emperor. May the Emperor have a safe and happy life."

"Forget it."

"Quickly let Royal Brother see if there are any changes." Feng Xuan grabbed Feng Hua's shoulders with both hands and said, "Hmm, as expected, the older the woman, the prettier she becomes."

"Royal Brother, you're getting more and more handsome. I don't have eighteen!"

"Right, right, Royal Brother is mistaken. I haven't seen you for so long, have you missed Royal Brother? Have you been traveling outside for too long and forgot about Royal Brother?"

"No, you are my favorite Royal Brother. The moment I received your letter, I rushed back without stopping. I originally wanted to ride a horse in the Western Region."

"With such a wild personality, I really don't know which man can control you. How is it? Did you have a good time during the female official examination this morning?"

Feng Hua said in surprise, "You already know? That woman complained?"

"Which woman? Feng Hua, remember, she is the empress dowager of Xiliang Country. Don't mess around." Feng Xuan scratched Feng Hua's nose.

Feng Hua stuck out her tongue. "Royal Brother, I want to eat the Four Happiness Pill, the White Jade Cake, and the Purple Osmanthus Sauce Meat."

"I know, I know. Royal Brother has already ordered the imperial kitchen to make the food you love."

Du Yutong looked at the Emperor and Princess and felt envious. So this was the feeling of her brother. Her brother had bullied her since she was young. She really wanted to have a brother. If she had a brother, her mother would not be bullied.

Feng Hua saw Yu Tong's disappointed expression from the corner of her eyes, "Yutong, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm just envious that the Emperor dotes on you so much."

"Why? Is your family still not good to you?" Feng Xuan asked.

Yutong shook her head, "Daddy is now sent to another place, and Second Mother has also been punished. The rest of them are hiding from us."

Feng Hua asked curiously, "What are you talking about? I am confused."

Feng Xuan told Feng Hua about Yu Tong's background. Feng Hua was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, "Yutong, your family is really more troublesome than the women in the palace. Just wait, I'll help you get revenge and skin these bastards."

Yutong was very surprised. The Emperor was busy with all sorts of things, but he actually remembered her. And this princess didn't have the appearance of a princess at all. She actually said something shocking and successfully made Yu Tong laugh.

Feng Hua saw that Yu Tong was laughing and quickly said, "That's good. My heart is filled with anger. I'll beat them up for you in the afternoon."

"Feng Hua, be more elegant. How can you still have the appearance of a girl?" Feng Xuan said helplessly.

"Look at your cousin, she's gentle and refined."

"Tsk, Shangguan Ruosi, Shangguan Ruofu, they both know how to observe expressions since they were young, so they are naturally more likable than me."

"Tonight afternoon, Shaang Xia will be your opponent." Feng Xuan whispered to Feng Hua.

"What do you mean, that fool, that ice-cold face? He was always teased by me when he was young. See how I will teach him a lesson in the afternoon."

"You must not be naughty and follow the rules. Oh right, Ruofu didn't recognize you, did you?"

"No, I was so scared this morning and could only lower my head. The servant girl of the Little Empress seemed to recognize me and was warned by me. Don't say that this selection is quite like that."

Feng Xuan squinted his eyes and smiled, thinking that Chu Linglang was a rare woman in the world.

"The auspicious hour has arrived. The martial arts competition will officially begin." Those who could fight with Commander Shaang for ten moves were considered to have passed. The first Shangguan Ruofu would be ranked in the morning.

Shaang Xia flew onto the stage quickly, and Shangguan Ruofu did not want to be left behind.

She said softly, "Brother, you have to be careful!" As she spoke, she took the initiative to attack.

"Sister, you are as impatient as ever when it comes to fighting." Shangguan Ruofu smiled seductively and said, "Look at the sword."

Shangguan Ruofu's sword technique was fast, accurate, and ruthless. Shaang Xia chose to retreat as he advanced. Shangguan Ruofu quickly flew his sword and quickly exchanged ten moves.

"Commander Shaang, thank you for your help." Shangguan Ruofu cupped his fists and said to Shaang Xia. Shaang Xia thought to himself, this girl, she told me to be careful just now, and now she thought of the martial arts ethics.

The second person, Feng Qiao, first went up on stage and cupped her fists.

Shaang Xia asked curiously, "You don't use a weapon?"

Feng Qiao revealed the whip in her hand and whipped it. Shaang Xia jumped up.

Feng Hua muttered from the side, "This time, Shaang Xia has found an opponent. This woman's face is even colder than his."

Shaang Xia had his knife hooked on Feng Qiao's whip. Who would have thought that Feng Qiao would abandon her whip and fight barehanded? Shaang Xia also threw his knife to the ground. The two of them fought barehanded for a few rounds. After ten rounds, Feng Qiao stopped fighting and cupped her fists as she flew down the stage.

Next, Chen Ji walked onto the stage in armor. Shaang Xia gestured for her to make the first move. Chen Ji picked up the sword in his hand and began to make gestures.

Chu Linglang immediately called out, "Anyone who doesn't know martial arts, stand out. There's no need to compete anymore. If there's another chance, I'll inform everyone that I need people who are capable of both civil and martial arts."

No one stood out. Someone shouted, "Your Highness, it's not fair for you to find a man to compete with us."

Chu Linglang walked onto the stage. "Oh? In that case, if you can exchange ten moves with me, I'll let you pass."

Chu Linglang used 30% of her strength and kicked Chen Ji to the side.

Feng Xuan, who was watching from afar with a telescope, was shocked by Chu Linglang's kick. What else did this woman know?

Next, Yi Yating walked onto the stage. He thought to himself that he had been a servant for so many years and relied on his agility. He knew that he couldn't beat you, so he hid! After going on stage, Yi Yating really gave Chu Linglang all kinds of dodges. Taking advantage of her distraction, Yi Yating jumped up and threw out flying daggers from his sleeves. Chu Linglang began to block the flying daggers. Yi Yating luckily passed ten moves.

The next one was Yang Ke Ke. Before Chu Linglang could prepare herself, she threw a handful of lime powder into Chu Linglang's eyes. Chu Linglang was in so much pain that she couldn't open her eyes. She tore off the corner of her clothes and covered her eyes. She endured the pain and kicked Yang Ke Ke a few meters away. Yang Ke Ke spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chu Linglang shouted, "Who else?"

The audience was shocked and everyone retreated. It was so strong. Even Shaang Xia felt that he might not be able to withstand this kick.

"I'll do it," Feng Hua shouted and flew onto the stage.

She said softly in Chu Linglang's ear, "Little Empress Dowager, not bad! Watch the whip."

Chu Linglang heard her and caught the whip.

Feng Hua threw the whip away and said, "Come, I'll use my weapon to bully you."

Feng Hua took the initiative to attack and used all her strength. Chu Linglang was also like an opponent that she had met a long time ago, and she fought very happily with her. After a few moves, Feng Hua was slightly at a disadvantage.

Feng Xuan calculated in his heart. With Chu Linglang here, he reckoned that it would not be easy for this girl to be naughty.

After fighting for twenty rounds, Feng Hua shouted, "No more, no more. I'm tired."

Chu Linglang intentionally approached her and said, "You're not going to fight anymore? Are you still calling me Little Empress Dowager?"

"No, no, no. Call me Great Empress Dowager! You really have a grudge."

"I'm announcing that Shangguan Ruofu, Feng Qiao, Yi Yatian, and Du Yutong have been selected."

After Feng Hua got off the stage, Shangguan Ruofu grabbed Feng Hua's hand and walked out.

"Feng Hua, how do you want to end this? I didn't see you in the morning, so how could I let you mess around like this? Do you know how important this opportunity is to Du Yutong?" Shangguan Ruofu lectured Feng Hua.

"Look, this Shangguan Ruofu always relies on his own excellence to lecture others. I am the dignified Princess of Xiliang, and I don't need you to interfere with my matters."

Feng Hua shook off her hand and ran away. Shangguan Ruofu followed behind her. "Yutong, I am not. I just wanted to remind you that you can treat a female official as a plaything, but others are not."

"Other people? Are you talking about yourself? In your world, there are only the two words, 'strive for power'. Do you think that you can marry me just because you became a female official? In your dreams. "

Shangguan Ruofu was shocked by her words. So she understood her thoughts.

Feng Hua turned around and said, "I know it's not easy for Du Yutong to handle her family matters, so I would like to ask cousin sister to keep it a secret."

"With so many people here, do you think that everyone else is a fool?"

"Then I won't have to worry about you."

Feng Hua returned to the competition venue. Someone pointed at her and said, "Your Highness, she is not Du Yutong."

Feng Hua said playfully, "I'm not Du Yutong, could it be that you are?"

"Du Yutong is obviously ugly and fat," the woman said unwillingly.

"Why did I lose weight? I was poisoned to become fat, not born fat," Feng Hua argued.

"Enough, are you questioning the eyes of my wife?" Chu Linglang said in a domineering manner.

No one dared to make a sound.

"Here, if I say she is, she is. The world is unpredictable, and everything is the same every day."
