As she was playing happily, she heard Yu Lanxuanâs childish voice that gave people goosebumps ring out behind her. âJiejie, arenât you participating in the competition? If you win, you can participate in Taizi fuâs banquet. You can see the Emperor then.â
Zi You slowly turned around and looked at Yu Lanxuanâs fawning smile. She lazily shook her head. âI donât mind telling you. What do I have to compete with?â
Yu Lanxuanâs eyes showed disappointment. Her words were a trap for Zi You. If Zi You said that she didnât want to participate in the competition, it was tantamount to saying she didnât want to see the Emperor.
At this time, Fourth Gongzhu showed up intending to make things difficult for Zi You.
However, Zi You saw through Yu Lanxuanâs trick. She wasnât fooled and did not answer the way they wanted her to.
Fourth Gongzhu was angry. She suddenly loudly laughed. âAh! Are you serious? You really donât know anything? Tch... Even if you came from a military family and put martial arts first, you canât not know how to do anything right? Is it because your mother was a vulgar southern barbarian tribeswoman and didnât know anything so she couldnât teach you?â
In Jingdu, the southern barbarians were synonomous with barbarism, ignorance, vulgarity, coarseness, and lowliness.
Shangguan Lingluo saying that about Dier was tantamount to insulting Dier.
Zi Youâs anger rose to the extreme. Seeking death! You actually dared to insult my mother. If I donât teach you a lesson, I wonât be from a military family.
Her anger turned to laughter. She revealed a smile similar to hundreds of flowers blooming and said extremely charmingly, âChennuâs [ literally: âthis officialâs daughter, used in speaking to royalty] mother is the child of Indian royalty and a Great Yan citizen. Even if Gongzhu studies her whole life, Gongzhu cannot touch the tip of the iceberg of my motherâs talents. Not convinced? Let Gongzhu compete with Chennu. If Gongzhu loses, Gongzhu must apologize to Chennu!â
