Accidentally dressed as an empress

The sunlight shone through the clouds onto the ring, casting a warm halo on Su Qing on the stage.

Lin Ziqi held the sword tightly in his hand and looked at Su Qing with a firm gaze. Su Qing stood opposite him with a calm look in his eyes.

The duel began, and Su Qing took the lead. She kicked her feet hard and pounced like a cheetah. She stabbed Lin Ziqi in the face with the long sword in her hand, and said at the same time: "My friend, be careful."

Lin Ziqi tapped the ground with his toes, jumped back lightly, and avoided the attack as nimbly as a flying swallow. He responded: "What are you doing reminding me? Since it's a competition, I should give it my all." Then, he turned his wrist and the long sword stabbed towards Su Qing's waist like a snake.

Su Qing dodged to the side and swung his sword to block. The two swords collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Yunxiu thought to herself: Su Qing's martial arts have indeed improved a lot.

Lin Ziqi thought that he couldn't be careless either. His eyes became more focused and he swung the sword in his hand more fiercely.

At this moment, Su Qing was also thinking: The young man in front of her is so agile, she must give her all and not lose to him.

Su Qing smiled and said, "My friend, your martial arts skills are extraordinary. I admire you."

Lin Ziqi raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not bad either."

The two of them exchanged moves, and for a moment it was difficult to tell who was better.

The soldiers around were fascinated by the competition and cheered for their wonderful competition.

At this time, a few birds flew across the sky, chirping crisply. The breeze blew gently, lifting their hair, and strands of hair danced in the air.

Lin Ziqi felt both nervous and excited. He could feel Su Qing's strength, which was not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers in the barracks, and was on par with his own sister.

Su Qing also looked at Lin Ziqi with admiration. He did not expect that such an unremarkable-looking boy could have such high martial arts skills.

After a brief confrontation, the two men stood at opposite ends of the arena.

After testing the opponent's strength, Lin Ziqi became more determined to fight.

He held a long sword in his hand, the sword blade flashing with cold light. His body was as fast as lightning, and he approached Su Qing in an instant. He shook the long sword, and sword flowers bloomed, stabbing at Su Qing like a silver snake spitting out its tongue.

The sword whistled with a fierce momentum, as if to cut the surrounding air apart.

At this time, a few white clouds floated across the sky, as if shocked by this powerful force, and slowly moved their positions.

Su Qing was not in a hurry. He held the long sword in his hand, slightly turned sideways, and easily avoided the attack.

Then, Su Qing swung his long sword and swept it out as fast as a whirlwind.

Lin Ziqi reacted extremely quickly, jumped up and avoided Su Qing's attack.

The two of them moved back and forth at a dizzying speed, and the surrounding leaves were rustling in the strong wind they brought up.

Su Qing responded with flexible and varied sword techniques. She was like a fish swimming in the water, moving freely among Lin Ziqi's sword moves.

Sometimes she used softness to overcome hardness, skillfully deflecting Lin Ziqi's long sword with her long knife; sometimes she used speed to defeat slowness, quickly counterattacking the moment Lin Ziqi made a move.

On the ring, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers intertwined, making bursts of crisp collision sounds.

Lin Ziqi shouted loudly and increased his strength again. The sword in his hand stabbed towards Su Qing like a flash of lightning.

Su Qing's eyes narrowed, and she gripped her sword tightly with both hands, blocking the blow head-on. The huge impact made her step back a few steps, but she quickly regained her balance.

Su Qing counterattacked. She flashed and instantly appeared behind Lin Ziqi. She raised her long sword high and chopped it down fiercely.

Lin Ziqi felt the threat from behind and quickly turned around to resist. Lin Ziqi's sword moves became more and more ferocious, and Su Qing's knife skills became more and more rigorous.

They kept moving, attacking and defending on the ring, as if two lightning bolts were intertwining and colliding.

Sweat slid down their foreheads, dripped onto the ring, and evaporated instantly. The air around them seemed to become scorching hot.

Finally, after a fierce battle, both of them were exhausted.

They stopped attacking at the same time. Su Qing stood on the ring, holding the knife. Lin Ziqi knelt on one knee, leaning on the sword, breathing heavily.

The sun was still shining, and the breeze was still gentle. Su Qing and Lin Ziqi looked at each other, feeling that they had met a good opponent. They felt a sense of mutual respect, but also a sense of caution.

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if everything around them disappeared, leaving only each other.

"You are very strong, we are evenly matched." Lin Ziqi said.

Lin Ziqi supported himself with his sword and walked down from the arena, where he fell to the ground and was carried away by a military doctor.

Su Qing stood on the ring, took a deep breath, and stood up again.

"Next!" Su Qing said loudly.

"It seems that His Highness is very interested in our military camp competition." Lin Zichen said as he walked towards Yunxiu.

Zhong Yi was also far away, one meter away from Lin Zichen.

What they talked about was very clear.

Zhong Yi walked up to Yunxiu, put his arms around her waist, and leaned against her in a dependent manner.

Yunxiu smiled and asked Zhong Yi in a low voice, "Have you guys spoken out?"

Zhong Yi nodded without saying anything.

"Your Highness..." Lin Zichen's tone was a little unhappy.

Yunxiu came to her senses and did not push away Zhong Yi, who was showing off his affection. She responded to Lin Zichen, "The deputy general took me on a tour of the military camp. General Lin is truly a master of military management. The morale of your soldiers is so high, it's really impressive."

Lin Zichen nodded and immediately extended an invitation: "Your Highness, would you be willing to participate in our military camp competition?"

Yunxiu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that after rejecting the deputy general's invitation, Lin Zichen still insisted on inviting her to participate in the military camp competition.

"Your Highness does not need to feel any pressure. Just do your best." Lin Zichen said.

Yunxiu frowned. Lin Zichen's words seemed to harbor a subtle hostility towards her, deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.

Yunxiu pondered for a moment, then replied, "General, I will certainly accept your invitation. It is an honor to participate in your military competition."

Yunxiu was about to go up to the stage when Zhong Yi grabbed her arm and said, "General Lin, the eldest princess has a special physical condition. She is not suitable to participate in such a fierce military competition."

Lin Zichen looked at Yunxiu and smiled, "If that's the case, Your Highness, there's no need to force it."

Yunxiu held Zhong Yi's hand and shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Zhong Yi pursed his lips and said nothing more. He decided to go get some more pregnancy-preserving medicine.

He knew that he could not change A Xiu's decision, as A Xiu had her reasons for having to establish her prestige in the military camp.

Yunxiu Yunxiu held her head high and chest out as she strode onto the arena. Her steps were brisk and her hands were empty, as if she was strolling leisurely in the garden.

The sunlight shone on her body, bringing circles of halos. Zhong Yi felt that her whole body was shining.

"Which weapon here is the heaviest? Let me try it." Yunxiu's words were full of confidence.

In the audience, Zhong Yi kept looking at Yunxiu, his eyes filled with unconcealable love.

Lin Zichen stared at Yunxiu's belly, then turned sideways and looked at Zhong Yi coldly, "What's wrong with her body? Is she pregnant?"

Zhong Yi did not answer, but stared at Yunxiu who was playing with a long sword on the stage with worry.

Lin Zichen was burning with jealousy. "You're so good! You and her have only been married for a month! And she's already pregnant?"

Zhong Yi replied calmly, "I've been living in the Grand Princess's residence for over four months. Isn't this perfectly normal?"

Lin Zichen's face darkened, jealousy surging in her heart, nearly driving her crazy. "Zhong Yi, you're really great." Her voice was filled with bitterness and anger.

"Lin Zichen, I'm doing well with her now. Before, there was no love between us. I owed you. I apologize to you. You should let it go." His words revealed his relief about the past.

Lin Zichen let go of her hand dejectedly, "Well, as a friend, I wish you the best." Oh, Zhong Yi, one day you will understand that loving is harder than being loved.

Yunxiu walked to the weapons rack, his eyes lingered briefly on the various weapons, and finally he picked up a pair of heavy hammers.

At this moment, Su Qing looked at the sledgehammer in Yunxiu's hand, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said loudly: "I give up!" Su Qing's voice echoed in the ring, extremely clear.

There was no resentment in Su Qing's eyes, only respect for Yunxiu.

At this moment, there is no need to engage in a mutually destructive battle.

The soldiers around were surprised when they heard Su Qing's words.

This man is a man of good sense and knows how to deal with current affairs. He is unwilling to compete with His Highness.

Lin Zichen also became somewhat interested in this captain whose name he could not remember. "Then this general will represent His Highness and compete with the winner of the military camp competition."
