The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 772: Chapter 772: It’s Impossible to Keep a Low Profile

Song Lingzhao’s display of skill caused the whole crowd to scream.

Song Zhiyuan said to Emperor Chu, who was looking over, ”He likes to play with knives and swords in his spare time, not really accomplished, I’m afraid he’s just given Your Majesty a laugh.”

Prime Minister Fan laughed and said, ”Such great skill, and yet you say he’s not accomplished. These words would make many of the idle young men in the capital blush with shame.”

Song Zhiyuan secretly thought this was bad, the old fox was about to drop a stink bomb and dig a hole.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Prime Minister Fan continued to laugh and said, ”The Song Family’s offspring are quite accomplished, both in literature and martial arts, each having their own strengths. Your Majesty has several more staunch ministers in the future, congratulations to Your Majesty.”

Damn you, old bastard Fan!

Blatantly giving me trouble like this, did I dig up your ancestors’ graves?

Song Zhiyuan said, ”Whether accomplished or not remains to be seen. They’re just young lads, what can you tell at this age? The only thing is, no matter what, their upbringing must not be lacking. It is our duty as elders to guide them on the right path. We must not let them learn to do anything villainous and harmful to Great Qing, right?”

Prime Minister Fan snorted, his face full of disdain.

”If being outstanding and loyal is a crime, then the Song Family is guilty of a great crime. Please, Your Majesty, impose punishment!” Song Zhiyuan bowed.

Prime Minister Fan: ”...”

You sneaky dog, you sure know how to boast.

The crowd: Prime Minister Song is indeed someone I look up to, such shameless flattery.

Emperor Chu laughed and said, ”Great Qing’s future depends on the young men. They are the future of Great Qing, and their talents in both literature and martial arts are a blessing to us.”

Prime Minister Fan’s face turned a bit unpleasant.

Wasn’t this implying that he and the old ministers should step aside for the young?

Such favoritism.

Although Song Zhiyuan received a favorable word from the Emperor, he was a bit uneasy inside. With the Emperor’s unpredictable favor, who knew if it would turn into thunderbolts or something else later on?

He looked at his nephew, who was being lifted up and tossed into the air by several people, with a sigh.

Why did it have to be a boy who wants to take up martial arts?

Over on Song Ci’s side, seeing Song Lingzhao win the laurel, there was also a scene of joy.

Song Lingzhou, with his loud voice, wished he could run around the whole place and announce: ”That’s my second brother, my second brother won! My second brother took the victory banner, hahaha, my second brother is awesome and unstoppable.”

Song Lingjie helplessly twisted his ear: ”Keep your voice down. Be more low-key.” How embarrassing.

Low-key, low-key is impossible to maintain. After such a display, thousands have seen it clearly.

Using Song Ci’s words, this kid has become famous.

Listen to these ladies behind, so enthusiastic, praising and currying favor with Madam Jiang, ”You’ve given birth to a good son, so skilled at a young age, and very brave too.”

Madam Jiang was naturally pleased, yet she feigned humility and modesty: ”Just some superficial skills, you’ve flattered me.”

Right after, came inquiries about marriage prospects. Those bold and thick-skinned directly said their family has a daughter, how about a meeting?

Madam Jiang couldn’t bear it anymore, cursing the brat in her heart, why didn’t he know how to keep a low profile, making her smile stiff?

Song Ci felt a sense of pride inwardly, with the younger generation in the family becoming successful, she was truly comforted in her old heart.

Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the throne, an arrow flew towards Emperor Chu.

”Assassin, protect the Emperor.”

The entire place went silent, followed by screams and people desperately dodging and fleeing.

Song Ci’s heart clenched, another assassin, can they stop with the same old trick?

”Someone fell into the water, save them quickly.” Someone shouted.

A scene of chaos.
