Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 189 Let’s Compete, Who’s Afraid of You
Shen Nanqiao pretended not to hear. She took a bite of the hibiscus cake with her fragrant tea, and chewed it slowly and savored it under the gaze of everyone.
The Grand Tutor's wife tugged at her sleeve worriedly, and the Ninth Princess lost her patience and stepped forward first.
"Madam Pingyang, Princess Wuya is talking to you, didn't you hear it?"
Only then did Shen Nanqiao slowly raise his eyes.
"I have to pay attention to you when you talk to me? Can you imagine that the Ninth Princess will respond to every word of the concubine who is about to marry into the palace?"
The Ninth Princess was choked, while Shen Jingyi beside her was filled with indignation.
"You can't say that. They are guests who have come from afar, and they are asking polite questions! How can Madam Pingyang say something hurtful?"
Shen Nanqiao nodded.
"So Miss Su from the Kaiguo Earl's Mansion is also a guest from afar. If she asked you politely at first, would you be willing to let Ning Ziyu marry her?"
Before he finished speaking, the prince beside him laughed out loud.
Seeing Emperor Ming looking at him, he stood up and spoke loudly on purpose.
"Father, please forgive me. I just thought Madam Pingyang's words were really interesting, so I laughed." He turned around and looked around the scene, and then said, "All the ladies present here are the mistresses of the house. I'm sure you can empathize with Madam Pingyang's words, right?"
Indeed, which mistress would be nice to a woman who comes to her house to provoke her and intends to marry into the family?
Several ladies who had just slightly changed their opinion of Shen Jingyi now looked at her with disdain again, saying that she was born as a concubine and was not worthy of being on a high platform.
The Grand Tutor's wife lowered her voice.
"How shameless! She is a princess of a country, but she keeps saying she is marrying someone else and she keeps saying she is a concubine. You should just ignore her."
Shen Nanqiao gracefully swallowed the last bite of pastry, wiped his fingers slowly, and then stood up.
"Tell me, what are you comparing?"
***, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh. He knew that she was not the kind of person who would swallow her anger. She was pretending to be reserved just now just to dampen the other party's momentum.
Princess Wuya raised her chin haughtily.
"You draw the line, and I'll follow it."
"Didn't you want to compete?" Shen Nanqiao chuckled, looking innocent, "I draw? Do you have a husband for you to lose to?"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present laughed. How could a husband come from for a young girl like her who was still unmarried?
Ning Su's expression did not change, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Nanqiao. Does this girl know what she is talking about?
When did I become a stake?
Princess Uya was also angered and she walked down from her seat coldly.
"I'm afraid that if I say something first, you will accuse me of bullying!" She looked contemptuous, "After all, all you ladies from the Chu State are weak and useless."
These words were truly offensive, whether directed at Shen Nanqiao himself or provoking everyone present, and it obviously achieved its purpose.
Lin Jingshu, who was sitting opposite, stood up suddenly.
"Don't you Tatars conquer the world on horseback? Horseback riding or archery, which one do you want to compete in? I'll accompany you!"
Princess Wu Ya looked Lin Jingshu up and down, then her gaze returned to Shen Nanqiao.
"In that case, let's just fight together. I want to establish my authority in your Great Chu anyway, so we can save ourselves the trouble! If I win, you can let me take over your position as Madam Ning."
Shen Nanqiao shrugged with a casual attitude.
"Then what if you lose?"
Princess Wuya was confident: "I can't lose."
Shen Nanqiao was about to stand up, but sat back down after hearing what was said.
"It's good to be confident, but it's meaningless to be blindly confident." She picked up the second piece of lotus cake with her slender fingers, "We have to follow the rules in everything we do. If this were in a casino, you would be kicked out if you tried to get something for nothing."
*** stood up and walked down from his seat, glanced at Princess Wuya, and then set his eyes on Shen Nanqiao.
"I will be the referee. If you want to compete, please show some sincerity." She glanced at Ning Su meaningfully, "Madam Pingyang has already prepared the prize..."
Ning Su's face froze for a moment.
Princess Wuya sneered and spoke again.
"In that case, if we lose, I will tear my head off and let you use it as a chair!"
Shen Nanqiao waved his hands quickly.
"The nanmu chairs in my house are much more valuable, what do I need your head for? You are so shameless that you want to marry my husband! How dare you ask for such a bet that you know will not work?"
This was quite blunt and Princess Uya was completely enraged.
"What do you want?"
Shen Nanqiao saw that the atmosphere was almost created and didn't plan to delay it any longer.
"You offered yourself to me first, and then you insulted the ladies of Great Chu. If you lose, you will learn to bark like a dog three times in public to entertain everyone."
The crowd immediately erupted in discussions, and the Ninth Princess was the first to speak with a frown.
"The two countries are on good terms, isn't it inappropriate for Madam Pingyang to do this?"
Shen Nanqiao glanced over indifferently.
"Do you think they are friendly with you, Princess Ninth? Or do you think it's okay even if outsiders bully you?" She pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Could it be that after spending so much time at the border, Princess has become one with them?"
This statement clearly implied that the Ninth Princess was colluding with the Tatars, and Emperor Ming couldn't help but frown.
The Ninth Prince suddenly stood up and stared at Shen Nanqiao, speaking in a muffled voice.
"What do you mean?"
Before he finished speaking, Prince Cheng immediately took two or three steps to block in front of Shen Nanqiao, and his voice was louder than that of the Ninth Prince.
"What do you mean by shouting so loudly at my goddaughter? Do you need a grown man like you to get involved in a fight between two girls?"
The Ninth Prince still had some basic respect for Prince Cheng. Seeing this, he gritted his teeth and slowly sat back.
Shen Nanqiao turned to Princess Wuya.
"The princess is determined that she will not lose, right? So what if the dog barks? Right?"
The atmosphere had already reached this point, and any further delay would seem timid, so Princess Wuya nodded without hesitation.
"Okay! If we lose, I will bark like a dog in public!"
Shen Nanqiao looked around.
"Everyone present has heard it, so don't let people say that the local tyrants are bullying others. What to compete and how to compete are all decided by them. Is that okay?"
At this point, Princess Uya no longer cared about being magnanimous and reached out her hand to call the two Tatar girls next to her over.
"These are my maids. Let them experience the power of the ladies of the Great Chu!"
Lin Jingshu had been ready to go, and was about to step forward when she heard the words, but was stopped by Shen Nanqiao.
"They are maids, why should we ladies fight them?" Shen Nanqiao sneered, "Isn't this too much of a compliment to them?"
Lin Jingshu was stunned when she heard this, it seemed to make some sense.
Then Shen Nanqiao turned around.
"What will the princess play in the first round?"
"Then let's guide the needle." Princess Wuya narrowed her eyes cunningly, "Aren't you girls from Great Chu first-rate at needlework? Let's see what you are good at."
Shen Nanqiao did not comment, but turned around and gave an order to the seat where he had just sat.
"Amber, come here and learn the sewing skills of the Tatar girl."
Amber was originally watching the fun, but was caught off guard when Shen Nanqiao called her out, and she stood there in a daze.
*** nodded aside.
"They are providing maids, so there is really no need for us to let the girls go. It would seem like we are bullying them. Madam Pingyang handled it this way very well."
Amber came back to her senses from her shock at this moment, and subconsciously looked at Shen Jingyi opposite her for help.
Shen Nanqiao keenly caught this look and looked back and forth between the two of them meaningfully.
"What? Do you need to ask Aunt Shen for instructions? If you don't know, you might think you are her dowry maid!"
Amber was disturbed by what was said and quickly looked away.
Shen Nanqiao reached out and patted her shoulder with a warm smile.
"Compete carefully, don't embarrass our Miss Da Chu."
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Amber's forehead.

Shen Nanqiao: Isn't it just calling for help? Who doesn't have a few helpers?
