Chapter 1699: What a Piece of Wood

"Is there anything you're not used to?" Han Jiayin asked.

Su Miaoren glanced at her. She also had a contempt chain in her heart. The first was Shi Xiangjun, and the second was Han Jiayin.

After all, Han Jiayin's family background is far inferior to hers and Wen Ruyu's.

Han Jiayin's father turned his life around after high school, but compared to their aristocratic families who had been in Beijing for generations, he was far behind.

"Haven't you heard? Miss Smith can grow vegetables. We are not as good as her, so naturally we can't get along with each other."

Han Jiayin pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but Wen Ruyu had already pulled Su Miaoren in.

Han Jiayin sighed. She knew very well that she was being isolated.

There is still some time before the evening banquet, so Princess Taye and the people from Beimo also need to rest.

The palace compensated each young lady with a nanny and two maids.

For those two, it might be a little too little, but it was enough for Han Jiayin, "Mammy, can I go find Xiangjun?"

"Miss Han, don't you want to take a break?"

Han Jiayin smiled. She understood. "Yeah, I do need to take a break. Can I go find her tomorrow?"

Mammy smiled and nodded, "We'll see you tomorrow."

"Thank you, mama."

Shi Xiangjun didn't feel bored here. She went to take a look at the vegetable field first. The insect situation was better than before. Before, because the weather was always cloudy, there were densely packed small insects on the leaves.

The situation improved after spraying with water containing wood ash.

There was still some time before the dinner, so she took out the book she brought and read it.

Although there were all kinds of books in the palace, she was too embarrassed to go to Tang Haojing to get them.

The servant Mo Mo was very satisfied to see her reading quietly.

The emperor personally asked her to serve him, so how could she not understand?

"Girl, the dinner will take a long time, won't you take a break?"

Shi Xiangjun smiled and shook her head, "Mammy, please sit down. I don't need your care. I didn't do anything today. Compared to what I did at home, today was very relaxing."

"The old slave is here to serve the young lady."

"Mammy, I understand, but I'll let you rest for a while now."

"Thank you girl."

Shi Xiangjun knew that the palace was very strict with rules, and since the rules could not be broken, she could only say this.

When Shi Xiangjun was reading, she always felt that time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was dark. She hurriedly prepared to change her clothes. Just as she was wondering if her clothes were too shabby, the nanny said that the emperor had already prepared them for her.

"This……"

"The Emperor said that Miss Xiangjun is working for the court, so these things must be prepared by the court."

Shi Xiangjun nodded, but still felt a little embarrassed.

It was Shi Xiangjun's first time to attend a banquet in the palace.

The Tang Haojing she saw on weekdays was not arrogant, but this time was different.

He sat on the dragon throne, looking majestic without even getting angry. Although he was young, every move he made revealed the aura of an emperor.

Many girls blushed.

Han Jiayin was no exception. She nudged Shi Xiangjun with her elbow and said, "Your Majesty is so handsome."

Shi Xiangjun looked over and happened to find that Tang Haojing was also looking at her, but she didn't know who he was looking at.

"Your Majesty, last time in the Northern Desert, I had a duel with the prince, and I lost. I have been training hard for a long time, and I would like to have another fight with your prince. Please grant me your permission."

Whether people from the Northern Desert come to the Li Dynasty, or people from the Li Dynasty go to the Northern Desert as envoys, this step is indispensable.

Taye smiled brightly, dressed in Northern Desert clothing, like a little hot pepper, bright and enthusiastic, "Prince, please, by the way, please don't show mercy to me just because I am a woman, please respect me, let me lose sincerely and win fair and square."

Tang Haozhou nodded, and Bai Ruozhuang and Du Xiyue on the side kept winking at him.

He didn't understand, what does it mean?

"Please come in!" Taye said generously.

Tang Haozhou nodded, a little absent-mindedly, but Princess Taye still didn't gain the upper hand.

Bai Ruozhuang sighed, "I am such a silly boy, I don't know how to be gentle and kind to women at all."

Headache.

Du Xiyue smiled, "Sister-in-law, why are you so anxious? I think Princess Taye's goal is not to win."

"But... I came from afar, can you please give me some leeway? This brat is as stupid as his father."

Tang Yan took a sip of wine, "What does this have to do with me?"

Tang Yi chuckled, "Brother, let's drink."

The final result of the competition was naturally that Tang Haozhou won, as he didn't want to embarrass Li Chao.

He felt that he represented the Li Dynasty. If the two armies fought, he couldn't let her win just because the other side was a female general, right?

Bai Ruozhuang held her forehead with her hand, "Ah..."

Du Xiyue smiled, "Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry? Look quickly."

Bai Ruozhuang looked over and found that Princess Taye was not angry. "It seems that I have practiced hard for so long, but I still can't defeat the prince. I have to practice more. Prince, can you please give me some advice?"

"Oh, sure." Tang Haozhou said.

"The princess is already very impressive, a rare example among the women I have ever met."

"Only rare? Does that mean there are others?"

Taye looked around at the women of marriageable age present and said, "I am a bit competitive. I either don't do it, or I do my best."

Tang Haozhou's eyes lit up. Many noble ladies in the Li Dynasty were not competitive, gentle and virtuous. There were not many like her.

"Hao Zhou, starting tomorrow, you will accompany Princess Taye to study martial arts. I look forward to your next competition."

"I must win next time." Taye said after sitting down again.

Tang Haozhou nodded, "I obey your order."

"The women in Beimo are different from those in our Li Dynasty. They are so competitive." Su Miaoren said in a low voice.

Wen Ruyu just glanced at her but didn't respond.

It would be bad if someone heard it.

"Your Majesty, I wonder when the Queen Mother will return to the palace?"

Tang Xian curled his lips, "Why does the princess still want to compete with my mother?"

Ta also shook his head, "I dare not, but I often hear my father mention the Queen Mother, saying that he saw the Queen Mother's elegance many years ago, and Aunt Wang always praises the Queen Mother. I really want to meet this woman whom I have admired since I was old enough to understand. I know that the Queen Mother is responsible for our Beimo's present situation."

"My mother and my father have gone on a journey. I don't know when they will be back. Princess Taye may as well stay here first. You can see my mother when she returns."

Taye nodded. She thought she could see him as soon as she arrived.

I didn't have time to ask before, and just now I asked the palace nanny and found out that the Queen Mother is not in Li Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ta also said with a smile. This time she could live here peacefully. She didn't believe that she couldn't make this piece of wood fall in love with her.
