Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Jiang Qu said, "Miss Feng, I cannot give you the jade mask behind without the prince's order. Since you are familiar with the two jade masks, you might as well recall when and where you saw them. I have to go back and report. Goodbye."

He was gone in a flash.

Feng Qingluan didn't expect to get anything from him. She looked at the jade mask on the table again and pondered.

After returning to Prince Rong's Mansion, Jiang Qu reported to Xie Jin what Feng Qingluan had seen of the Jade Mask.

"Did she really just say that it seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it?"

Xie Jin asked for confirmation.

Jiang Qu said: "Yes, Your Majesty, she even asked me for the jade mask behind her, so I found an excuse and left."

Xie Jin didn't say anything, Jiang Qu continued:

"Your Majesty, when are you going to give the third jade mask to Miss Feng? She will probably remember you soon after she sees the third one."

There are four pieces of jade masks. When Miss Feng gets the third piece, she will definitely remember what happened in the back mountain of Prince Chu's Mansion that night and recognize the prince.

Xie Jin didn't say anything. Jiang Qu knew that he had said too much again and didn't dare to speak again.

Forget it, the prince has his reasons for doing this. Sooner or later, the two will recognize each other, so he won't worry about the old woman.

Beijing streets.

The news that the Princess of Gaoyang Palace was going to compete with the eldest daughter of the Feng family, the former Princess of Chu, to hunt a man-eating python in Shuangfeng Mountain spread throughout the capital that afternoon.

Princess Heyan was well-known in the aristocratic circles. Her father, King Gaoyang, was the only living king of a different surname in the Great Xia Kingdom. Given her status and position, she looked down on everyone except the princes and princesses.

Not to mention Feng Qingluan, the former Princess of Chu and the number one warrior of Daxia who divorced the royal family. Everyone knows her.

She was in big trouble again.

He was going to compete with the princess of Prince Gaoyang's Mansion. Both the content of the competition and his kneeling apology after losing the bet caused an uproar in the capital.

Many people discussed who would win the bet and some even started placing bets.

In the evening, Xie Yan went to Xilingxuan.

During the meal, Feng Shuyao asked, "Your Majesty, have you heard about what was going on in the capital this afternoon?"

Xie Yan was still dealing with the final aftermath of Ningxiang Village. In the afternoon, he went to the East Palace to report the handover to the Crown Prince. He said tiredly:

"what's up?"

Feng Shuyao told him about the bet between Shang Yuwan and Feng Qingluan.

"My cousin is too confident. That's Princess Heyan, who has been trained in the army since she was a child and was crowned on the battlefield. If she wants to compete with her, isn't she doomed to lose? My sister is too confused. She is risking her life to be stubborn."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan paused with his chopsticks in his hand, "Does she have the ability to deal with a man-eating python?

What he was worried about was not whether Feng Qingluan would win or lose the bet, but that the case of the man-eating giant python was already being handled by people from Prince Gaoyang's Palace. Why would Feng Qingluan get involved? Was she going to be an army all by herself to get rid of the snake?

Feng Shuyao said worriedly, "That's not true. Sister has become even more wanton and unbridled since she left the Prince of Chu's mansion. She doesn't care about the Prince's face at all. If she loses, she will be stripped and kneeled down in front of others under the name of the former Princess of Chu. How shameful it is! She is too promiscuous."

She fanned the flames. Xie Yan became furious and slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table:

"That bitch, I knew she wouldn't stop. When will they enter the mountain?"

Feng Shuyao said, "Tomorrow, Princess Heyan will let the people go to witness it. This shows how confident she is that she will not lose. My cousin is in danger."

Xie Yan was angry and annoyed, put down his chopsticks and said:

"I remember that I still have some government affairs to deal with. You should go to bed early."

He stood up to leave, but Feng Shuyao stopped him:

"Your Majesty, you are not going to interfere in this matter?"

Xie Yan said, "I have nothing to do with her anymore, why should I interfere in her affairs?"

After saying that, he left angrily.

Feng Shuyao sat back in her seat, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Xie Yan's reaction didn't seem like she wouldn't intervene. She called Zhinan over:

"Go find Rubao and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the King of Chu is likely to enter Shuangfeng Mountain tomorrow."

the next morning.

Feng Qingluan went out of the city as agreed.

Shang Yuwan was waiting for her on a tall horse.

She brought a team of people with her, and there was a group of people standing beside her watching the fun.

They were also going to Shuangfeng Mountain.

These people placed bets among themselves and came to see the fun and the outcome.

Feng Qingluan brought Xue Zimo with him.

Seeing that there were only two of them, Shang Yuwan mocked:

"Ms. Feng, you don't mind me bringing so many people, right? They are just going to guard the foot of the mountain. I will follow the bet and bring one person into the mountain. We have two days. Whoever gets the snake gall first will be the winner. After two days, they have to come out regardless of whether they get it or not."

Feng Qingluan sat in the carriage and said it was no problem.

The horse that Shang Yuwan rode looked heroic and confident of victory.

Feng Qingluan, however, rode in a carriage like a young lady, as if she was going out for a trip. She seemed to be far behind in terms of momentum, and the people who held Feng Qingluan hostage could not help but worry about their money.

Of course, few people believed that Feng Qingluan would win, and most of them bet on Shang Yuwan.

A group of people went out of the city.

At the foot of Shuangfeng Mountain.

The person in charge of capturing the python this time was General Qian Yuan from Prince Gaoyang's Palace.

Upon learning that his princess was going to compete with a young lady named Feng in getting snake gall from the mountains, he sent a hundred soldiers to wait here and had set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Shang Yuwan coming, Qian Yuan bowed respectfully: "Your subordinate greets the princess."

Feng Qingluan's carriage arrived soon after.

Shang Yuwan asked him about the whereabouts of the man-eating python, Qian Yuan said:

"Reporting to the princess, the last time the giant python was spotted was a day ago, at the entrance of the valley on the left peak. It should have gone deeper into the valley.

I will send a 50-man escort team to lead the princess and Miss Feng into the mountains, and each of them will release a flare. If there is any danger, please fire immediately. "

As he said this, he looked at Feng Qingluan with disdain.

He thought that this young lady looked so weak, yet she dared to accept the challenge of their princess. She must be tired of living.

What a pity she is so beautiful.

Shang Yuwan jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the guards behind him, and said to Feng Qingluan:

"Ms. Feng, you now understand the situation clearly. If you back out now, I can allow you to kneel down and apologize directly on the stage, without having to go into the mountains and risk your life to lose."

Feng Qingluan said calmly: "I advise the princess not to be too confident. If you are too conceited, it will not look good when you die at Shekou."

Shang Yuwan snorted, "This princess will definitely beat you, just wait and see!"

She walked into the mountain, followed by a sturdy man who looked to be at least two meters tall.

Feng Qingluan did not follow them, but instead walked towards the villagers who were watching the fun.

There was one thing she hadn't figured out yet, so she wasn't in a hurry to go into the mountains.
