“You may rise,” the Young Prince said, unable to resist praising, “Everyone thought General Tang would never marry, but he has found such a beautiful girl. Excellent choice.”
Hearing these praises, Princess Changle gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Why was Chu Qingzhi good in every way?
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Your Highness, you flatter me.”
Lin Yingmin could not help but want to talk to Chu Qingzhi. He walked to the young prince’s side and bowed. “Miss Chu.”
Chu Qingzhi’s attitude was indifferent. “Young Master Lin.”
Lin Yingmin seemed to have other feelings for her. She was a little cold to avoid any misunderstanding.
Lin Yingmin’s handsome face darkened. “I didn’t expect Miss Chu’s identity to be so extraordinary. It’s surprising.”
Chu Qingzhi’s tone became even colder, as if she was talking to a stranger. “My identity is average. Thank you for your praise, Young Master Lin.”
The young prince looked at the two of them and asked tentatively, “Do you know each other?”
Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “We met once.”
Lin Yingmin felt very uncomfortable. Qingzhi seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him. “Miss Chu helped me treat my legs.”
Everyone looked at Lin Yingmin and then at Chu Qingzhi. One was trying hard to get close, while the other was trying to retreat. It felt strange.
The servant girl came over and whispered to Fan Yuru that the banquet was ready. When Fan Yuru heard this, she came over and greeted, “Miss Chu, Prince, it’s almost noon. Let’s eat?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Ok.”
The young prince also nodded. “Let’s go.”
Fan Yuru had not forgotten her grudge with Rong Shiyu. “We didn’t ask the kitchen to prepare your meal. Why don’t you go back and eat?”
However, Rong Shiyu didn’t seem to mind. Instead, she said, “When we arrived earlier, we already instructed the kitchen to prepare it, so it should be ready by now.”
As she spoke, she gently pushed Fan Yuru’s shoulder away and walked towards Chu Qingzhi. “Miss Chu, let’s go eat.”
Rong Shiyu was too thick-skinned. Fan Yuru was very angry. “You…” She walked to the other side of Chu Qingzhi and entered in a huff.
Chu Qingzhi was escorted away by the two girls.
The girls they brought looked at the backs of the three of them and shook their heads in unison. They sighed. Now, the capital was lively.
When Princess Changle saw this scene, the anger in her heart burned fiercely. Every part of her body was filled with anger. Even though she was a princess, she had never been treated with such hospitality by Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu. What right did Chu Qingzhi have?!
Lin Yingmin was embarrassed, but he didn’t dare to leave alone. He could only follow the rest.
From the front garden to the dining hall, there was a lake path in the middle. This path had a lake on one side and a garden on the other.
Just as they walked to the middle of the path, a figure rushed out of the garden like a beast and charged straight at Chu Qingzhi.
If she was knocked into the lake, Chu Qingzhi would look miserable today.
But would it happen?
Of course not.
Chu Qingzhi raised her leg and kicked. The figure flew towards the wall and was embedded in it, unable to move.
The girls were stunned.
Chu Qingzhi was really fierce!
Having just witnessed her effortlessly send someone flying into the wall, everyone turned their attention to Chu Qingzhi’s legs.
Chu Qingzhi asked coldly, “Who sent you?”
Blood gushed out of the servant girl’s mouth. She was in so much pain that she could not speak. She pointed towards someone in the crowd.
It was a young lady from the Tan family, Tan Xiaoling. Seeing this, she was stunned on the spot. Cold sweat immediately broke out.
Chu Qingzhi turned around and looked at Qin Xiaoling coldly. “Why did you do this?”
Tan Xiaoling could not stand the psychological pressure and shouted, “How can General Tang marry a country girl like you? You’re not worthy of him!”
Chu Qingzhi nodded slightly. “Do you mean that you’re worthy?”
Tan Xiaoling’s face turned red. “Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t mean that. What I meant was that there are many noble ladies in the capital. A mighty general should marry a noble lady.”
Chu Qingzhi’s lips curled into a slight smile, and she responded, “You are quite considerate. Since that’s the case, why don’t you be a little more considerate?”
With a flash, her figure disappeared on the spot. In the next breath, everyone saw Qin Xiaoling flying towards the lake.
The onlookers gazed at Chu Qingzhi’s ethereal figure, their pupils widening in astonishment. Her martial arts were incredibly strong. With a swift movement, before they could even react, she had kicked Tan Xiaoling away once again.
Plop! Tan Xiaoling fell into the lake. It was the end of August, and the lake water in the morning was cold. When the cold entered her body, she realized that she had been kicked into the lake. “Help, help!”
Chu Qingzhi clapped her hands as if she was watching a circus. “Are you stupid? The lake water is only waist-deep. Why are you shouting for help?”
Tan Xiaoling’s face immediately turned red. She closed her mouth and looked at Chu Qingzhi with fear.
Not only her, but the eyes of the other girls were also tainted with fear. There were few people in the entire Daling Dynasty who could match Chu Qingzhi’s martial arts. She was too strong!
Most of the daughters of generals practiced martial arts. Firstly, it would make their bodies look better. Secondly, it was for self-defense. Seeing Chu Qingzhi show her skills, they could not help but admire her.
Fan Yuru walked over and held Chu Qingzhi’s hand, obviously wanting to get close to her more. “Qingzhi, let’s go eat. Don’t worry about her.”
Rong Shiyu also said, “That’s right, Qingzhi. Let’s go eat. She can get up on her own.”
Upon witnessing this scene, Ge Lihua thought to herself, “In the end, Qingzhi couldn’t resist getting involved. I’m afraid tomorrow her reputation for fierceness will spread.”
The group of girls looked at Qin Xiaoling sympathetically. She had gone for wool and came home shorn. Sigh, it was a little tragic.
The young prince and Lin Yingmin stood in the same place and looked at each other with a subtle look in their eyes. This girl was really not someone ordinary people could control. Even General Tang was not her match in terms of martial arts, right?
The princess, who was standing at the entrance, did not know if she should leave or follow. When she saw this scene, she suddenly felt that Chu Qingzhi had already been merciful to her by just throwing her out last time.
At the thought of this, she could not help but feel helpless. It seemed that no matter what she did, she could not win against Chu Qingzhi!
They followed Fan Yuru to the dining room.
The young prince had a high status, so he took the main seat. Then, the girls sat down according to their status.
Lin Yingmin sat next to the young prince.
Although Lin Yingmin’s identity hadn’t been announced yet, he would be a prince sooner or later.
After everyone took their seats, the servants began to serve the dishes.
Fan Yuru tried her best to win Chu Qingzhi over. “Miss Chu, the dishes we’re eating today are all famous delicacies in the capital. You must eat more..”
