The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Yelü Tu gripped the ground with both feet and used all his strength, but the stone lock only moved slightly.

After trying several times, Yelütu finally gave up.

Wanyan Junhao sat down in disappointment, then suddenly said defiantly, "If our Yelü Tu can't lift it, neither can you!"

No one spoke from Bei Ye's side, but Jing Xue cleared her throat and said, "The competition isn't over yet!"

The soldier from Beiye who participated in the competition was in a great mood. He was very satisfied with his performance. Even though he couldn't lift the biggest one, he and Yelü Tu were tied, so he didn't lose.

So he walked easily and calmly to the large stone lock, placed his hands on it, and exerted force with his arms.

"Lift!" he shouted, and the stone lock was indeed lifted up by him.

Cheers erupted as the stone weight was lifted.

"We won! We won!" The crowd applauded. The soldier took two steps while holding the stone lock, then steadily put it back in place.

Jingxue took out a little cutie and whispered, "Little cutie, little cutie, let's sing a good day!"

"Ta-da! Ta-da! Hehehe!"

The cheerful music started playing, which infected everyone, and the leap month even started dancing to the rhythm.

The Cangbei delegation turned pale. The Grand Preceptor sighed. Today's competition was too unexpected. He felt that Jingxue had done something, and he couldn't think of any other reason.

It seems his judgment was not comprehensive enough. This Jingxue is not just a lucky star; she must know some secret techniques. Today, the two princes only offended her slightly with their words, and they lost the competition so badly.

If the two countries were to go to war, it wouldn't be as simple as just losing a game; he didn't even want to think about how terrible it would be.

After the song ended, Jingxue put away Xiaomeng, and people calmed down considerably.

Some ministers were puzzled. How could a piece of music be so infectious? It made people feel incredibly happy, as if it were New Year's Day.

The retired emperor loudly proclaimed, "All the soldiers who participated today will be rewarded, and the prize money will be distributed among them!"

The Grand Preceptor of Cangbei remained outwardly calm. He stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, we have lost. Beiye is full of talented people, and we admire them!"

"The warriors of Cangbei are not bad either!" The Emperor Emeritus couldn't suppress a smile.

Then the old man said, "Everyone has worked hard today! Go back and rest early to prepare for the hunt tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" everyone responded.

The Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager got up and returned to their courtyards. Jingxue also stood up and yawned without any regard for her image. "Let's go back and make dumplings too!"

"Sister-in-law, shouldn't we get a share too?" Qin Jing asked, craning her neck.

Li Qianqian walked up to Jingxue before he could. "Cousin, what is making dumplings?"

Jingxue smiled and said to the two people, "Yes, everyone gets a share. I'm in a good mood today! Qianqian, come with me, you'll see in a moment!"

When Jingxue got up in the morning, she instructed several maids to make the filling. She guessed that the dough had already risen and they could start wrapping the filling as soon as they got back. This palace is really good for meat.

With a group of children and Li Qianqian by her side, Jingxue returned to her own courtyard.

Sure enough, when they returned to the courtyard, Xiaoman and the others were already ready. They washed their hands and started making dumplings together.

Several children, holding dough, joined in the fun.

When they were almost done packing, a lot more people arrived; they were all people who had come to freeload the meal the night before.

Once the dumplings were cooked, Leap Month took some insulated lunchboxes and delivered them to the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager.

While Jingxue and the others were happily eating dumplings, in the courtyard of the Cangbei Division, Wanyan Junhao was cursing, "They're all a bunch of useless trash! Today, I, the prince, should have personally taken to the field. If we could win one round, we wouldn't have lost the equestrian event either."

Wanyan Junhui, standing to the side, sneered, "Do you think you can win just by going up there? You'll probably lose even more miserably!"

Wanyan Junhao stood up and threw a punch at Wanyan Junhui, yelling, "You little bastard, say that again!"

Wanyan Junhui dodged his fist, grabbed his arm, and twisted it hard, saying, "If you dare say 'bastard' again, I'll make sure you have no descendants!"

"Stop! What are you doing?" the Imperial Advisor shouted.

Wanyan Junhui, showing respect to the Grand Preceptor, let go of his grip and forcefully pushed Wanyan Junhao aside.

Ulintuya also stepped forward to comfort her husband, "Nayan, please don't be so impulsive. This is Beiye."

Wanyan Junhao shook off Wulin Tuya's hand and sat down angrily.

"Didn't you notice anything amiss in today's match? Given our respective strengths, we shouldn't have lost three games in a row. I think Princess Zhan did something to sabotage it!" the Grand Preceptor said.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Junhao suddenly stood up again. "I told you she was cheating! I'm going to find them!"

The Imperial Advisor frowned in annoyance. "Sit down! Do you have any evidence? What I mean is that this Princess Consort of War is not simple. Don't provoke her. Our purpose in coming here is to discuss border trade. Let's not create any more trouble!"

"Also, don't say anything more about Jing Zhiyuan. I feel that it was your talk about Jing Zhiyuan that angered her today. But you've already said it, so at least we know her bottom line."

Wanyan Junhui said, "Rest assured, Imperial Preceptor! I understand."

Wulintuya nudged her husband, Wanyan Junhao rolled his eyes, stood up, said, "This prince knows too," and walked out.

The Imperial Advisor sighed helplessly.

Winter days are short and nights come early. After dinner, Jingxue took out fifteen walkie-talkies and gave them to Ye Muchen.

"These are walkie-talkies. They'll be distributed to everyone tomorrow. I've already tested them, so they're ready to use right away. This thing can maintain communication within a 20-mile range."

Seeing that the Emperor Emeritus was about to take something else, Ye Muchen said, "This should be given to a few members of the Cangbei Division. Although they don't go deep into the mountains, it's just in case!"

“Okay! You decide! It’s best to divide them into several groups, one for each group,” Jingxue said.

Qin Jing, Ye Musi, and Lu Zijing, who were standing nearby, began to examine the walkie-talkie.

"Are all the women and children going tomorrow?" Jingxue asked.

“The Empress Dowager and Princess Xuanhui cannot go; everyone else is going voluntarily. Even if they do go, they cannot go too far; the end of the snow track is the safe zone,” Ye Muchen replied.

Baili Zhan held the walkie-talkie to his waist and said, "Mu Chen, you'd better keep an eye on that Wanyan Junhao. That guy isn't obedient. We don't want anything to go wrong. The delegation's arrival was supposed to be a good thing, but if he gets hurt, it will turn into a bad thing."

Ye Muchen nodded to indicate that he understood.

Jingxue, standing to the side, snorted coldly, a slightly mocking smile playing on her lips. "It's alright. He'll behave better if he's injured. I can just give him some strong medicine, and he'll be perfectly obedient."

Her words amused everyone present. After chatting for a while, everyone went back to rest.
