Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Hearing Changning's explanation of what it meant to be strategic and prudent, Liu Rusi quietly raised her hand to support her forehead.

Compared to Fang Qiu's complete confusion, she was even worse...

"Stop covering it! Let me ask you, why did you join forces with Fang Qiu? I originally wanted to be friends with you!" Chang Ning angrily questioned Liu Rusi with his hands on his hips.

Fang Qiu also understood that Chang Ning had a plan with her, to get close to Prince Duan through Liu Rusi, and immediately inserted herself between the two of them! She blocked Liu Rusi and said to Chang Ning: "She will naturally befriend whoever she likes!"

Chang Ning didn't want to argue with Fang Qiu now, so he reached out and pushed around, then angrily asked Liu Rusi: "Why do you like Fang Qiu? I've seen you more times than her! Why don't you like me? How am I not as good as her?"

Although I know what Chang Ning means, isn't this a bit ambiguous? Liu Rusi glanced at the young ladies from the sixth floor who came out to watch the quarrel...

Liu Rusi thought it was better to tell the truth. Beating around the bush was too tiring. "Princess, you are very good. I don't dislike you. I just think you are not suitable for... His Royal Highness Prince Duan."

"How am I not suitable?! My mother is Princess Taihua! I am a princess! Fang Qiu's father is General Zhenyuan, which gives her an advantage... but my father is also General Wei Yu of the Qin Family Army. Overall, I am more suitable than her!"

Fang Qiu did not speak for the time being. Even though General Zhenyuan had an army of 500,000 soldiers, while the Qin family army only had 100,000 soldiers, unless they wanted to rebel, the royal bloodline would always be the most noble. The fact that Changning's mother was the eldest princess Taihua was enough to overwhelm the identities of all the others!

"But Princess Taihua is the aunt of His Royal Highness Prince Duan, and you are his cousin, so you two are not suitable." Liu Rusi said seriously.

Changning blinked for a long time, still not understanding what he said, and looked at Liu Rusi with an expression of "what are you talking about?"

"What I mean is that you are related by blood, and not too distantly, so it is not appropriate for you to get together... and have children." Liu Rusi explained seriously.

Chang Ning understood a little bit what she meant, and said with a red face: "But I am your cousin! My last name is Qin, not Chu, so there is no conflict of blood!"

"Is your mother, Princess Taihua, surnamed Chu?"

"Of course!" Changning looked up proudly.

"Do you have blood from your mother?"

Chang Ning was stunned at first, then nodded affirmatively, and at the same time she didn't know whether to be happy or angry. She was proud that her mother was Princess Taihua, so she was naturally happy to admit that she had her mother's blood, but...

"Right, surnames don't really matter. If there are two siblings in a family, one takes the father's surname and the other takes the mother's surname, can they get married?"

Changning and Fang Qiu both frowned and shook their heads with disdain!

Liu Rusi then continued to persuade him, "Some families who don't have sons will find a son-in-law for their daughters, and the children born will take the mother's surname. Does this mean that women can also inherit the bloodline?"

Chang Ning gradually calmed down, but was still very confused. After standing outside for a long time, he felt a little tired, so he pushed Liu Rusi towards her room and said as he walked, "Explain it clearly! If you don't explain it clearly, I will...I will sleep in your room tonight too!"

Fang Qiu also squeezed into the room. "Hey, let me in! I want to hear what's going on..."

Early morning at the Ladies Pavilion.

Many boys and girls got up early to watch the second and third matches.

Due to venue limitations, only eight people can participate in the first match, but the second match during the day is a ring match, so anyone who wants to participate can sign up.

"It's already noon! Cousin, don't wait any longer! It takes time for girls to dress up! The arena is just outside, they can find it!" Qin Tao grabbed Chu Shiyu and was about to run downstairs.

Chu Shiyu resisted the pulling and frowned as he looked towards the stairs. Why did Rusi get up so late today? Normally, she would wake up at dawn at the hour of Mao, but Zhuqing came down just now and said that she was still sleeping.

But he has to participate in this competition... Chu Shiyu said coldly to Zhu Qing who came down to pass on the message: "Go and help Madam Liu wash and change clothes. Madam Liu must be invited to the competition venue within two minutes!"

And upstairs on the first floor.

"Princess, can Miss Fang and I go downstairs first? You can come find us later." Liu Rusi and Fang Qiu had finished washing up and hurriedly put on their clothes.

They really slept late. It was already Chou time when they went upstairs to rest last night. Then Fang Qiu and Chang Ning stayed in her room and refused to leave. They almost chatted until they heard birds singing outside! At this moment, they had only slept for an hour at most!

"Don't go first...wait for me..."

"Snapped!"

Fang Qiu slapped the girl on the bed! With the sound of her buttocks, he shouted anxiously: "Then you have to get up first! Are you still lying on the bed?"

The woman who had been lying in bed startled and raised her upper body and shouted angrily: "Fang Qiu! You dare to hit me?!"

"I'm just going to hit you, what's wrong? If you don't get up, I won't wait for you anymore!"

Chang Ning pursed his lips and saw Liu Rusi next to him smiling gently, but she had already walked to the door and looked like she was about to leave! He immediately stopped lying in bed and sat up angrily and said, "Wait until I get dressed and wash up!"

Changning stood up and stood beside the bed, and her maids came forward to change her clothes, which only required them to move their hands slightly when putting on their sleeves.

After putting on her clothes, Changning sat on a chair. On one side, a maid combed her hair, while on the other side, another maid wrung out a handkerchief and carefully washed her face. Although they knew they were in a hurry, the maids did not dare to be too hasty or use too much force.

Fang Qiu was so anxious that he stepped forward, grabbed the handkerchief, and smeared it on Chang Ning's face! Before Chang Ning could scold him, Fang Qiu said cheerfully, "That's enough, it's clean now!"

Then a toothbrush dipped in tooth powder was handed over, and it was Liu Rusi who said, "Hurry up and clean your teeth."

"She's so slow, just stop brushing!" Fang Qiu was finally fed up with Changning's procrastination!

Changning glared at Fang Qiu and bared her teeth, looking like she was waiting for someone to brush her hair.

"It's okay, she hasn't combed her hair yet, just do it quickly."

Liu Rusi was amused and helpless. She had helped Qin Hao brush her teeth when she was over two years old, so she was not too unfamiliar with this matter, and she helped her brush her teeth without hesitation. After chatting all night, she felt that although this little girl was delicate, she didn't have a bad temper.

After finally taking care of Changning, the three of them hurried downstairs with their maid.

The third round of the competition has begun. The competition is based on drawing lots, and the winners go into the next round. Initially there were thirty-six people, but now there are nine left. In order to make an even number, one more person will be drawn from the previous round of eliminations to make up the total to ten.

Being chosen to fill in the position should have been lucky, but when that person saw that he had chosen Prince Duan, the joy on his face disappeared immediately... It would be shameful to escape without a fight, so he had to stand on the stage.

"Your Highness, please show mercy. I will just go through the motions and leave. Your Highness, just save some energy as there are several more games to come." The man said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Chu Shiyu looked at him indifferently, as if he didn't comment, but his meaning was casual.

Several women ran out of the pavilion. The slender figure immediately attracted his attention. At the same time...

"Clang!" The gong sounds! The game begins!

The man who asked Chu Shiyu to show mercy, seeing that he was distracted, immediately got the idea! As long as the wooden sword touches the opponent's vital point, he will win!

The wooden sword flew and stabbed towards Chu Shiyu's chest!

"Da da!"

But before Chu Shiyu could look away, the wooden sword in his hand met the opponent's sword! With a twist of his wrist, the man's wooden sword fell to the ground!

"bump!"

The long leg kicked at the chest! The man fell to the wooden floor in shock!

Just as he reacted, a wooden sword was pressed against his throat!

There was applause and cheers from the audience!

"Wow! It's within three moves again! Isn't Prince Duan too straightforward?"

But someone whispered to his companion, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Could it be that this is a deliberate arrangement?"

But a tall woman passing by heard it and grabbed the man's collar from behind!

Fang Qiu shouted into the man's ear: "What are you asking for?! His Royal Highness Prince Duan challenged General Wei Yu at the age of 18! The Tyrant Sword, which was famous in the northwest, was defeated by the Gentleman Sword! Haven't you heard of it?!"

Liu Rusi was slightly stunned. Did Chu Shiyu have any heroic deeds that she didn't know about? Then she turned her head and looked at Changning with an inexplicable look. Yesterday, Liu Rusi knew that the father of Princess Changning was General Wei Yu, who should also be... Qin Lie's father.

Chang Ning saw her look and didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought that she didn't know whether Prince Duan's record was true or not. Chang Ning said awkwardly: "Brother Prince Duan publicly challenged Dad to a duel. My brother and I also saw the duel. It was indeed... Brother Prince Duan narrowly won."

Even if the one who defeated was Changning's biological father, it was not shameful to lose because of Chu Shiyu's identity. It was normal for the dragon's sons and grandsons to be outstanding.

Admiring the strong is the instinct of many people. Changning and Fang Qiu fell in love with Chu Shiyu after seeing the competition. Qin Tao also called Chu Shiyu "cousin" and "cousin" all the time since then, looking for a fight with him - they had fun while fighting.

The man whose collar was pulled covered his ears! He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice! He was wrong! Let his ears go!

However, Fang Qiu did not let him go! He pulled his hand away and continued to yell!

"I challenged His Royal Highness Prince Duan several times before and I was defeated every time! If you question His Royal Highness, you are questioning me! Why don't you come on stage and compete with me first! Let's see if you are a fake or not?!"

Not to mention his biological father, Changning has also joined the battlefield!

"Now Brother Duan is twenty-one years old, young and strong! And he has returned from the bloody battlefield in the southwest, so his strength must have greatly increased! For a bean sprout like you, Brother Duan might be able to knock you down with just one move!"

Seeing the two girls yelling excitedly, Liu Rusi couldn't help but think of her roommate who was chasing stars at school...

"Rusi."

A tall figure strode over and saw her with Changning and Fang Qiu. He couldn't help but frown. Why were these two sticking to Liu Rusi?

"I have arranged a seat next to the Group A arena. My fights will all be held on that arena. You can go sit over there."

Ignoring Fang Qiu and Chang Ning, Chu Shiyu wanted to pull Liu Rusi over to watch the game, but she took the first step and clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking at the two women with a questioning look.

The two women also let go of the man who was almost deaf. Chang Ning stepped forward and said, "Let's go! Let's go together!"

Chu Shiyu was a little unhappy, but he still led a group of women over. Seeing them sitting down and preparing to go on stage, Ke Ruifeng suddenly caught a glimpse of the pale blue under Liu Rusi's eyes, so he stopped and asked with a completely cold face: "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Liu Rusi explained calmly, "It was already midnight when I went upstairs last night, so I naturally couldn't sleep well..."

"That won't make you blue!"

Chu Shiyu glanced at Chang Ning and Fang Qiu beside him, only to see them dodging and turning their faces away! No need to ask, I know it must be related to them!

"Boom!" The drum sound reminds us to prepare for the next round of competition!

After giving the two women a cold warning glance, Chu Shiyu turned and headed towards the ring.

Prince Duan and Prince Changtai are the strongest contestants in this competition, so even though they were chosen by drawing lots, in fact there was some behind-the-scenes manipulation in the Ladies' Pavilion, intentionally leaving the king-to-king show for the last!

"I suppress Prince Duan!"

"I'm betting on Prince Changtai!"

When the four were still choosing two, the crowd had already opened the betting! Although the people behind were much stronger than the ones in front, and they fought back and forth with the two kings, everyone could see that it was only a matter of time before the two kings won!

The person who opened the market walked over to Liu Rusi and the others and asked them if they wanted to place a bet.

"I bet on His Royal Highness Prince Duan! Five hundred taels!" Fang Qiu generously bid for a silver note!

Princess Changning was a little conflicted, as one was her biological brother, and the other was her beloved cousin... Although she was disgusted by Liu Rusi's theory of close relatives last night, she couldn't get out of that mentality for the time being.

"Let's each place a bet of 500 taels." Changning bid for two silver notes.

"Well... the dealer takes 10%. According to the current odds, no matter who wins, you, princess, will have to pay..." the person presiding over the gambling table kindly advised.

"It's okay, just consider it a gift to you! I have to treat everyone equally!" Princess Changning was full of pride!

The gambler looked at Liu Rusi, and she smiled gently and said, "I don't gamble."

The man didn't force it, just nodded and said hello, then went to the next group of people.

"Why don't you bet on Brother Duan Wang? He will definitely win! According to the current odds, if you bet 500 taels, you can get back about 700 taels!" Chang Ning persuaded.

Is it okay to say that she is poor? She is not so rich as to spend 500 or 1,000 taels without blinking an eye...

However, she would not gamble even if she had money. The father of this body caused Liu Cui's tragedy because of gambling. As the inheritor of this body, Liu Rusi secretly vowed not to gamble, as a way of expressing regret and gratitude to her predecessors...

"bump!"

"Ouch!"

Two voices came from different arenas! As if by appointment, Chu Shiyu and Qin Tao defeated their opponents at the same time!

On the two stages several feet apart, Prince Duan and Prince Changtai stared at each other!

Qin Tao was still unsatisfied, and his fighting spirit was boiling! He jumped off his own ring! Like an arrow from a bow! He rushed towards Chu Shiyu!

"Cousin! No more waiting! Let's fight!"

The opponent who had just lost to Chu Shiyu immediately stood up and tried to step down! Suddenly, a big hand stretched out and snatched the wooden sword from his hand!

When the defeated player was stunned, Qin Tao knocked him away like a bull! The defeated player was shocked and hurt, but he didn't feel angry at all, and hurriedly stepped down!

"Bang!" Two heavy wooden swords collided!

Chu Shiyu took a step back due to the force!

However, Qin Tao frowned and stopped, asking curiously, "Why did you change your sword, cousin? Aren't you good at the gentleman sword?"

Chu Shiyu didn't answer, and started to counterattack with the knife, swinging the knife down! There was a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air! It can be seen that he used great force, without holding back at all!

Qin Tao was completely confused! But he was still fearless and brave, holding the knife and stepping forward! Facing the strong attack!

The "Ba" in the Qin Family's Ba Dao does not lie in how brilliant the moves are, but in the fearlessness of moving forward! Even attacking without defending! Without fear in the heart, one will naturally be invincible!

Simply put, who is in front of you? Is he strong or weak? What tricks does he have? Who cares? Just rush in!

There is a difference between using a knife and a sword. Anyone who knows a little about martial arts can tell that Prince Duan is not good at using a knife! He showed signs of retreating under the fierce knife attack of Prince Changtai!

With one blow of the sword, Chu Shiyu was pushed back a step. Qin Tao was annoyed! He asked angrily, "Cousin, what are you doing? Are you letting me win on purpose? If you use a sword that I am not good at, what's the point of me winning?!"

Chu Shiyu sighed secretly. Qin Tao was really too reckless. He didn't even pay attention to the moves he used, and only focused on swinging his sword...

"I have just learned a sword technique that is not passed down. Since you are good at swordsmanship, I came to you for instruction!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Shiyu swung his knife and chopped and chopped quickly, leaving Qin Tao no time to speak!
