512 Reward (3)
Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Xuanyuan Ce’s heart tightened under her gaze. If not for his rationality, he would have told her the truth.
He turned his head away and did not dare to look at Shen Yijia. He looked at Xuanyuan Ye coldly. “She lost. Leave it to me.”
Shen Yijia nodded and threw the limp person to Xuanyuan Ce.
Not to mention the onlookers, even the referee, who was closest to them, did not know what had happened.
Seeing that Lord Jing’an had brought the young princess out of the arena, they thought that he was worried that something would happen to his daughter.
There were imperial physicians present, but Xuanyuan Ce did not let them tend to Xuanyuan Ye. Instead, he casually summoned a few people and said, “Send the princess back to the courier station. Without my orders, she’s not allowed to leave the courier station.”
After giving the instructions, he was afraid that those people would not be able to keep an eye on Xuanyuan Ye. He looked at Chu Feng. “You should follow them.”
Chu Feng glanced at Xuanyuan Ye sympathetically and agreed respectfully.
Xuanyuan Ziming was speechless. “Uncle, isn’t this bad?”
Xuanyuan Ye had indeed done something, but she didn’t have to be grounded.
Xuanyuan Ce glanced at him, and the latter immediately stopped talking.
Shen Yijia did not care about the matters in the Xuanyuan Kingdom. She looked around but could not find anyone.
In the end, she could only give up and look at the officials who were knocking on the gongs.
The official shuddered under her gaze and subconsciously rang the gong.
Another official immediately shouted, “Madam Song wins.”
No one said anything about it.
It was over before it even started.
The emperor was stunned for a long time before reacting. He looked at Shen Yijia with a dark expression. “You win. What reward do you want?”
Shen Yijia blinked and bowed. “I’ve been married to the Song family for so long, but I’ve never seen my aunt. I want my husband to bring me to see her.”
Although Song Jingchen didn’t say anything, she could clearly feel that he was in a bad mood after Shangguan Yu left that day.
Apart from Madam Li, Song Li was Song Jingchen’s last family elder in this world. He definitely didn’t want anything to happen to her.
Song Jingchen, who had been worried, was stunned for a moment when he heard Shen Yijia’s words.
His heart ached and swelled. He was so lucky to have his wife like this.
The emperor’s gaze darkened. At the mention of Song Li, he could not help but think of what had happened two years ago.
He sized Shen Yijia up for a long time, but he did not see any other expression on her face.
It was as if she really just wanted to see an elder she had never seen before.
Did this person know how precious a promise from an emperor was?
“I permit it,” the emperor said.
There was nothing wrong with meeting someone in the palace.
Shen Yijia said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The competition ended here.
Then, an official went on stage and asked the emperor if he wanted to take his seat.
The emperor looked at the sky and nodded slightly. He said to the envoys of the two countries, “It’s almost time. Everyone, follow me to the seats.”
Although Shen Yijia’s skills surprised him, he was still in a good mood.
Duke Ping and Princess Changle looked at each other. Although they had lost the competition, after the little princess made a scene, it seemed that the Wu Kingdom was not the one who had lost the most face.
The emperor and the envoys of the two countries left. The princes and other relatives of the emperor also stood up and left.
The others present bowed and shouted, “Long live Your Majesty.”
After they completely disappeared from the training grounds, the others dispersed.
Song Jingchen squeezed out of the crowd and walked to Shen Yijia’s side. “You…”
“Hubby.” Shen Yijia did not wait for him to finish. She quickly pulled him to the side and squatted down to pull out the two silver needles. “Look.”
Without needing Song Jingchen to ask, she explained that someone had ambushed her.
“The person who saved me should be Lord Jing’an.”
Before she could finish, she was pulled into a thick embrace.
“I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me…”
“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re too good-looking?” Shen Yijia continued his words with a smile. She puffed up her cheeks and said, “What does this have to do with you? It’s because that bullsh*t princess is too shameless. You can’t possibly destroy your appearance because you don’t want others to think about you, right?”
Her beautiful husband was willing, but she was not.
Song Jingchen was speechless for a moment. His eyes darkened. “Something almost happened to you just now.”
Shen Yijia patted his back. “Oh my, I’m fine now. Don’t worry.”
The two of them hugged each other in public as if no one was around. Princess Linghui gritted her teeth and cursed, “Little vixen.”
Noticing that Ji Yunxi was also staring at the person in the arena, she sneered. “Don’t tell me you like Brother Song too?”
Ji Yunxi came back to her senses and glanced at her indifferently. She turned around and left without a word.
Princess Linghui was furious. “Isn’t she just a princess who was conferred the title because she saved Father? What’s so great about her?”
With that, she glanced at the arena again and stomped her feet. “This little vixen is so powerful. How can we bully her in the future?”
