The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

This princess has made up her mind, she wants him! Is the Eastern Imperial Kingdom sore losers? Or are they afraid of losing to this princess and losing face? Princess Youlan's face was arrogant and rude!

Emperor Lin Yuan, his face dark with irritation, said, "Fine, I grant your request! My Eastern Empire is also home to countless talented women, and there are many more who can rival you! The one who wins first place this time will be bestowed with a special treasure by me!"

The women were all eager to try after hearing this. Winning the competition would not only bring glory to their families and save face for the Eastern Imperial Court, but also earn them treasures and special treatment from the Emperor. It was definitely worth the effort!

The Empress smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister's daughter, Gongsun Ruier, is talented and virtuous, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How about letting her compete with Princess Youlan in the first round?"

Princess Youlan, do you have any other requests?

Since this person was recommended by your Queen, they must be an extremely capable individual! In that case, this princess will not stand on ceremony. Let's start with a competition of calligraphy and painting!

The maids neatly arranged the two sheets of drawing paper in the center of the main hall!

Hearing her aunt, the Empress, introduce her, Gongsun Ruier was incredibly proud! She had put in a lot of effort for today's banquet! Her high double buns were adorned with shimmering gold tassels, and she shone with brilliance with every step she took!

She moved gracefully to the center of the hall and bowed deeply to Emperor Lin Yuan and Empress Gongsun at the head of the table. Her every movement and stillness exuded the elegance of a lady from a noble family.

Rui'er pays respects to the Emperor and Empress!

"Rise! You will represent Dongyu and fight Princess Youlan! Your aunt believes you won't let us down!"

Yes! Ruier will certainly live up to Aunt's expectations!

From beginning to end, her shy and infatuated gaze never left Jun Moli! But Jun Moli remained sitting there expressionless! He didn't even glance at her!

Gu Lingxi watched with great interest, tsk tsk! This big ice block is quite popular! One princess wasn't enough, now another rich young lady has arrived, her eyes practically glued to someone!

"Only the peony is truly a national beauty, its blooming season stirs the capital." The peony is indeed the king of flowers, so today, Ruier will use the peony as her theme to paint a picture of wealth and prosperity in full bloom!

As Gongsun Ruier took up her brush, a peony in full bloom appeared on the paper! But anyone with even a little knowledge of painting could see something amiss!

The colors are too bright and overpowering, and the style is too monotonous, giving it a rather vulgar feel! And that dull, gray bird is clearly the biggest flaw in this painting!

Everyone shook their heads! On the other hand, Princess Youlan's side...

Everyone exclaimed in admiration! It seems this princess of Beiyou does possess some real talent! Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to challenge so many noble ladies alone!

Princess Youlan's entire painting is vibrant and colorful! The two handsome horses are depicted with lifelike detail! Amidst the mountains and flowing water, flowers bloom in profusion, and the gurgling water and chirping birds create a magnificent landscape painting!

Wonderful! Princess Youlan's painting skills are truly exceptional! A chorus of praise rose and fell; now, without even the emperor's judgment, the difference in skill was immediately apparent!

After finishing her painting, Princess Youlan surveyed the crowd in the hall with an air of smugness. "Your Majesty, how is it? Did I win this competition?"

Emperor Lin Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but he could only have the eunuch announce that Princess Youlan had won the first match!

Dongyu lost the first match, so this second match is crucial! If they lose again, the outcome will be decided!

Who would compete in the second round? The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Nobody wanted to be the one to step forward and risk getting nothing in return! Winning would be fine, but losing would mean losing face for the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. For a moment, no one made a move!

Gongsun Ruier was a little ashamed after losing the first match, but no one blamed her, which made her feel a little better! When she looked up, she saw the Empress frantically giving her meaningful glances, and Gongsun Ruier instantly understood!

Your Majesty, I am unworthy and have failed to live up to your grace! But I would like to recommend someone whose talent surpasses mine! I believe she will surely lead the Eastern Empire to victory in this competition!

Oh? Emperor Lin Yuan is very curious. Tell me, who exactly deserves such high praise from you?

General Gu's eldest daughter, Gu Lingxi!

A woman who was happily enjoying the gossip was suddenly called out by name, and she was extremely annoyed!

Damn it, you shameless, shameless bitch! You're having a hard time yourself and you want to drag me down with you! Trying to pull this trick on me? Trying to flatter me to death? Heh! I'll get you sooner or later, you pretentious slut!

Gu Lingxi was furious. It was all that scumbag's fault for getting her into all this trouble! She glared at that indifferent, aloof man!

Receiving her glare, Jun Molin, unusually good-natured, revealed a chilling smile! "I have high hopes for you! You naughty girl!"

"You son of a bitch, your smile is so creepy it's uglier than crying! If you can't smile, then don't smile!" Gu Lingxi sighed helplessly and reluctantly got up.

Emperor Lin Yuan could no longer remember who Gu Lingxi was. He only vaguely remembered that back then, Jun Moli held military power, and this was to prevent Gu Lingxi from becoming even more powerful after marrying into the Yue family!

He had no choice but to follow the advice of his attendant and betroth Gu Lingxi, the daughter of Gu Fengyuan who had lost all military power, to Jun Moli.

According to the attendant, she was an exceptionally beautiful woman, but she was timid and cowardly, with mediocre talent and no great abilities.

Emperor Lin Yuan scoffed, saying that with her beauty alone she was nothing more than an easily controlled vase, which was exactly the result he wanted!

Emperor Lin Yuan surveyed the hall, and after a long while, a woman with her head bowed stood in the center! "Raise your head and let me see you. Are you Li'er's future princess? General Gu's daughter, Gu Lingxi?"

Gu Lingxi lowered her eyes, her straight posture proud and upright, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly!

May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace. I am Gu Lingxi, your future daughter-in-law!

Hmm! Her appearance is indeed as stunning as rumored, and she is indeed worthy of a royal son!

You represent the face of our Eastern Empire in this competition. If you win, the prize money remains the same; if you lose, I will punish you. I hope you will not betray my trust in you!

"Go to hell!" Gu Lingxi thought to herself, "A million grass mud horses galloped through my mind!"

Gongsun Rui, who had just lost the match, didn't mention any punishment. I haven't even started yet, what did she do to provoke me? She's already giving me a hard time right from the start.

"Your Emperor's heart is so damn biased!" Gu Lingxi looked at Jun Moli, who sat there unmoved, and she seriously suspected that this man wasn't the Emperor's biological son! Otherwise, why would he treat his future princess so harshly?

Gu Lingxi was extremely unwilling, annoyed, and unhappy inside, but her face remained completely expressionless! "Your daughter-in-law will remember your father's teachings and will not forget your trust!"

So he's calling me "Father Emperor" now? He really knows how to seize an opportunity! This shamelessness is so brazen, it even left Emperor Lin Yuan somewhat bewildered!

Jun Moli, standing to the side, gave her a big thumbs up. "You're amazing! No wonder I've taken a liking to this naughty girl! You've got guts!"
