Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1178: Is It Dishonorable?

An Jing and Liu Buli’s competition lasted nearly an hour, and even those unfamiliar with martial arts could tell that neither An Jing nor Liu Buli held back against each other, regardless of who would lose or win, it was all exceedingly fair and square.

The eunuch saw that Liu Buli lost, then sang out, ”In the second round, Princess Yi wins.”

When An Jing returned to the viewing stand, Su Haoyu praised: ”Jingjing, your skills have improved significantly.”

Su Chengyu also complimented: ”Sister-in-law’s skills are surely unmatched by many in the military now.”

An Jing smiled: ”All thanks to the excellent teaching of my Prince.”

Speaking of which, An Jing walked over and sat next to Xiao Changyi, who had already poured a cup of tea for her to quench her thirst.

An Jing picked up the tea and drank it, all the while smiling warmly at Xiao Changyi. After a moment, she still whispered with a laugh, ”Husband, I’m not hurt at all, not one bit. I’m just a bit tired after the long competition.”

”En,” Xiao Changyi replied, while the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, his cold eyes clearly showing his pride in her.

Seeing her husband like this, An Jing felt exceptionally sweet inside. She actually didn’t think she was that good, but her husband always thought she was the best, incomparable to anyone.

Ye Zhi was in the stands, looking up at An Jing and Xiao Changyi unconsciously flaunting their affection before the crowd. She stayed silent for a moment before stepping forward to compete with Qi Tengfei.

Qi Tengfei was truly big in stature while Ye Zhi was extremely petite. Standing opposite General Qi, it resembled a child standing with an adult.

Ye Zhi’s height reached only to Qi Tengfei’s chest.

Qi Tengfei paused for a moment then turned around, cupped his fists towards Su Chengyu up in the stands and said, ”I report to the Emperor, this General is crude and does not know how to moderate his strength. If this girl gets hurt, I hope the Emperor does not blame me.”

At this moment, Qi Tengfei was very uncomfortable inside. It was bad enough to compete against a woman, but this woman was also a young girl? Even if he won, it would only bring ridicule.

Winning against a young girl brings no honor at all!

Before Su Chengyu could speak, Ye Zhi said, ”General Qi, I am not a young girl, I am already twenty-four.”

”You, twenty-four?!” Qi Tengfei’s eyes widened almost as big as camel bells, in disbelief.

He couldn’t believe that twenty-four-year-old Ye Zhi was still unmarried, nor could he believe that someone so petite was already twenty-four.

If Ye Zhi hadn’t mentioned her age, to those unfamiliar, she seemed only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Ye Zhi really wanted to roll her eyes at Qi Tengfei for making such a fuss, but she held back, as they were in the Imperial Palace and she couldn’t be too presumptuous.

So, she only said, ”Yes, I am twenty-four. I just look young.”

Qi Tengfei took another thorough look at Ye Zhi from top to bottom, then steeled his mind, finally accepting that Ye Zhi was indeed twenty-four.

However, he still felt that Ye Zhi was too petite and might not survive a single punch from him.

To be safe, he still cupped his fists towards Su Chengyu and said, ”Emperor?”

It was the same issue as before, but Emperor Su Chengyu still had not responded to him.

Qi Tengfei was really quite an uneducated brute; the reason he became a general was solely due to his brute strength and many accomplishments on the battlefield, and his strikes were truly unmeasured.

Su Chengyu was already aware of this trait of Qi Tengfei, however, he still did not immediately respond to Qi Tengfei.
