Speaking of this, the general’s wife was reminded, “You stay at home these few days and don’t go out. What if you run into that prince from the Mobei Kingdom and he wants to marry you?”

Fan Yuru, having finished sparring with General Fan, flew over, “What do you mean, mother?”

The general’s wife explained, “The prince from the Mobei Kingdom came to the capital to pay tribute, but his main purpose under the guise of improving relations between two countries was to choose a bride. Many daughters of high officials in the capital haven’t left their houses recently, fearing this misfortune would befall them.”

Fan Yuru disdainfully said, “He’s overestimating himself. A vassal kingdom daring to come to Daling to choose a bride? Dream on.”

After speaking, she hurriedly left, leaving a message, “I’m going out to have dinner with Qingzhi and the others, don’t wait for me.”

Fan Jingxu followed her, “Is Brother Tang back?”

Fan Yuru’s footsteps were hurried. “Yes, we came back together.”

“Second Sister, take me with you for dinner.”

“It might be a bit inconvenient.”

“Why is that?”

“There are also Qingzhi’s family members at the dinner. They don’t know you; bringing you might be impolite.”

Fan Jingxu was visibly disappointed, “Alright then, next time.”

Fan Yuru patted Fan Jingxu’s shoulder, “I’ll definitely take you next time, don’t feel down.”

“Alright.” Fan Jingxu stopped in his tracks. He looked at Fan Yuru’s departing figure and sighed deeply.

In the capital.

Tainan restaurant.

As a famous restaurant in the capital, it was always bustling with business. Finding a seat during dining hours was challenging.

Ning Yuting reserved the restaurant’s largest private room, setting up two tables inside. The guests sat around the tables according to seniority.

The little monk followed closely behind Chu Qingzhi, almost becoming her shadow. As soon as Chu Qingzhi sat down, the monk quickly took a seat beside her.

Chu Qingzhi smiled at the monk, “How about I get you some fruit to eat?”

The monk happily nodded, “Yes, thank you.”

Tang Jinghong, who hadn’t sat down yet, heard their conversation and brought over the fruit from the side, placing it in front of the monk, “Enjoy.”

“Thank you, Young Master Tang.”

The four elders of the Chu family, seeing the opulent private room, felt very restrained.

Grandpa Chu looked around. Although he was restrained, he was also happy. He thought to himself that when he returned to the village, he could show off again.

Li Qingyu sat next to Chu Qingyue. She touched Chu Qingyue’s arm and whispered, “It costs a lot of silver to eat here, right?”

Chu Qingyue, also her first time in such a lavish place, felt nervous and replied, “Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s okay. We don’t come here every day.”

Li Qingyu nodded slightly, “True.”

Wu Yaqing gently nudged the arm of Rong Shiyu sitting beside her, whispering, “Your eyes are red. Have you been crying?”

Everyone at the table had noticed.

Fan Yuru tentatively asked, “Did your father scold you?”

Being among friends, Rong Shiyu didn’t hide anything. “He didn’t scold me, but he forbade me from doing any more voluntary medical work. Not only that, he’s forcing me to get married.”

Everyone’s ears perked up at this.

Chu Qingzhi looked inquiringly at Bao Linjiang. Haven’t you made your move yet? If you don’t act soon, she’ll be married off to someone else.

Bao Linjiang glanced at Rong Shiyu and then gestured to Chu Qingzhi, indicating his uncertainty about what to do.

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly. Do you not like Shiyu?

Bao Linjiang shook his head. It’s not that he didn’t like her, but he also didn’t have strong feelings for her, which made it difficult for him to express his feelings.

It made sense. They hadn’t spent much time together, and developing feelings required time. Chu Qingzhi nodded in understanding, indicating that he should take his time.

Bao Linjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Yuru empathized with Rong Shiyu, “Let’s just enjoy dinner tonight. We’ll find a way to deal with the marriage issue later.”

Rong Shiyu nodded in resignation, “Alright.”

As the atmosphere warmed up a bit, Chu Qingshuang mentioned, “I’m participating in a porcelain competition tomorrow. You’re all welcome to come and watch.”

Ning Yuting asked with interest, “Where is the competition being held?”

“At Xilin Garden,” replied Chu Qingshuang, “It’s near this restaurant. I noticed it on my way here.”

Yuan Hongjun added, “I know where it is. We’ll definitely come to watch.”

Chu Qingshuang smiled in gratitude, “Thank you.”

While everyone was chatting, dishes were served by the waiters. Soon, the table was filled with dishes.

Grandpa Chu picked up his chopsticks and smiled. “Everyone, let’s eat. Let’s talk after we’re full.”‘

Bao Linjiang echoed, “Let’s eat first.”

Everyone was hungry and started eating without further conversation.

Halfway through the meal, a commotion arose from the ground floor of the restaurant, followed by the sound of plates being smashed and a customer’s scream.

The guests in the hall screamed and quickly retreated to the side.

Sitting at the table were two men dressed in noble attire. Their hair was a little curly, and they were dressed differently from the Daling Dynasty people. They were obviously foreigners.

Behind the men stood two armed guards. Their expressions were cold and murderous. They held the hilts of their swords and looked like they would kill anyone who approached.

One of the guards slapped a waiter, then kicked him away. The waiter slid across the floor, stopping only when he hit a table and chair. He was bleeding from the mouth and lost consciousness.

The force of the kick indicated severe internal injuries.

The guard, looking ferocious, grabbed another waiter by the collar. “We were here first, why did you serve them before us? Are you looking down on us because we’re foreigners?”

The waiter trembled, “They arrived before you, so we served them first. There was no disrespect intended.”

The shopkeeper walked over and said in a friendly manner, “Young Masters, we serve the dishes in order. We won’t make the guests wait too long. Is there a misunderstanding?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Misunderstanding?” The guard pushed the waiter away. He used a lot of strength, and the waiter took a few steps back. In the end, he fell to the ground.

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, “There must be a misunderstanding. Young Masters, how about I arrange for someone to serve you food immediately?”

The guard was unrelenting. “Arrange for the dishes to be served now? It’s too late! Do you know our master’s identity? You can’t afford to offend him!”

The shopkeeper’s gaze landed on the two noble men who had not spoken from the beginning to the end. “Then Young Master, tell us what to do. We will definitely do as we can.”

The two of them only glanced at the shopkeeper and did not say anything.

The guard said, “We can let this matter rest.” He pointed at the two waiters on the ground, “You two, pick up the food from the floor and eat it. Then lick the floor clean, and we’ll consider the matter settled.”

Such a demand was a clear insult..

Chapter 562: Princes of Mobei

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The shopkeeper laughed dryly and said in a negotiating tone, “Young Masters, I have two dogs in the backyard. Should I bring them in to clean the food on the floor?”

The guard slapped the shopkeeper’s chest twice. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “Didn’t you say just now that you would definitely do what you could?”

The shopkeeper was forced to step back a couple of steps by the guard’s slaps. In his mind, he cursed the foreigners a few times, but on the surface, he maintained a smiling face and said, “Young Master, our shop assistant is also a human. This request has exceeded his ability. Can you change it?” “Change?” The guard looked arrogant. “Then why don’t you do it?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The shopkeeper’s expression froze. “Young Master…”

“I think licking the floor is more suitable for you guys!” Fan Yuru descended the stairs, a young girl in a red and white dress, a blend of simplicity and boldness that showcased her understated yet fearless personality.

All the eyes in the entire hall were focused on her, including those of the foreigners.

Chu Qingzhi said to the four elders, “There might be a fight later. Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, stay here in case you get hurt.”

All of them nodded in agreement, not daring to create chaos.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong exchanged a glance and walked down the stairs together. Fan Yuru had already taken the lead. Given Tang Jinghong’s relationship with General Fan, they couldn’t just stand by and watch.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang followed them down to protect their master.

After Fan Yuru walked downstairs, the crowd automatically opened up a path for her. She walked all the way to the front of the four of them. “How did the shopkeeper and the shop assistant offend you? Why are you acting so unreasonably?”

The guard swept his eyes up and down Fan Yuru and said, “No matter who you are, I advise you to mind your own business, or disaster will befall you.”

At this moment, one of the princes, Bei Chunlu, who had been silent all this while, stood up. His facial features were very deep, and the color of his eyes was darker. His hair was curled up, and his entire body exuded a noble aura. However, there was also a hint of roguishness in him, giving him a handsome and roguish feeling.

He sized up Fan Yuru and said with a smile, “Don’t be so rude to a beautiful girl. Let’s talk things out.”

The guard retreated to the side. “Yes, Young Master Chunlu.”

When Tang Jinghong heard this form of address, he thought to himself, ‘I didn’t expect the Third Prince of the Mobei Kingdom to be like this.’

Bei Chunlu smiled and said, “Miss, can I invite you to sit down for a meal?”

Fan Yuru looked at Bei Chunlu and smiled insincerely. “I only eat with people. Thank you for your invitation.”

Bei Chunlu’s expression did not change, but his hands that were hanging on his sleeves tightened slightly. “Miss, it’s fine if you don’t want to eat with us, but you don’t have to insult us, right?”

“Insult?” Fan Yuru sneered.”You know about insults? When you were making things difficult for the waiter and the shopkeeper just now, why didn’t it occur to you that it might also be an insult?”

Bei Chunlu slapped the guard’s face. “In the future, you must learn to follow the rules and not insult people randomly. Understand?”

Ads by Pubfuture

The guard hurriedly knelt down, ignoring the pain on his face. “Yes, Young Master. I won’t dare to do it again.”

What a coward, passing the blame to his subordinates. Fan Yur looked down on Bei Chunlu with disdain. “Don’t take your anger out on the guard. He was just following your lead. The one who should be punished is you.”

Bei Chunyi stood up, holding a knife in his hand. There were some scratches on his fingers, probably from being cut by the knife. His gaze carried a hint of fierceness, like the eyes of a wild beast.

He looked at Fan Yuru indifferently and said in a threatening tone, “Miss, we’ve already given enough respect. If you continue to cause trouble, it won’t be good for anyone.”

“For anyone?” Fan Yuru wasn’t afraid of the two of them. She only felt a chill down her spine when she locked eyes with Bei Chunyi. “1 think i won’t be good just for you.”

Bei Chunlu smiled roguishly. “Second Brother, you’re scaring the young lady.” Bei Chunyi was the Second Prince of the Mobei Kingdom. He had a ferocious personality and liked to kill. His entire body was filled with killing intent. “Young lady, let me give you a piece of advice. There are some things that you shouldn’t stick your nose in. Otherwise, you’ll definitely be the one to suffer.” “Why? You can’t reason with me and are starting to threaten me?” Fan Yuru pointed at the waiter and said firmly, “Apologize to him.”

Bei Chunji and Bei Chunlu’s expressions darkened. They were princes. How could they apologize to a lowly waiter?

The guard stepped forward to protect the two princes and glared, “Do you know the status of our young masters?”

Fan Yuru exuded the aura of the second young miss of the Fan family. “I don’t care who you are. You have to abide by the Daling Dynasty’s laws after entering. Otherwise, 1 don’t mind giving you a taste of the Daling Dynasty’s laws.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong exchanged glances, wondering if Fan Yuru had studied Daling’s laws.

The shopkeeper, wanting to defuse the situation, said, “Miss, can we let this matter go?”

How could this matter be let go? An outsider causing trouble in the territory of the Daling Dynasty was offending the country’s prestige!

Fan Yuru appeared serious and said, “Shopkeeper, don’t worry about the loss. If they cause you to lose business, they will compensate for it. With so many of us, are we afraid of four foreigners?”

When Bei Chunji and Bei Chunlu heard this, their faces darkened.

The shopkeeper looked around and finally nodded in compromise. He did not say anything else.

Fan Yuru turned around and looked at the two of them. “Apologize quickly and don’t disrupt the shopkeeper’s business. Your parents should have taught you to take responsibility for your actions. Don’t pretend you don’t know anything.” If they continued to feign ignorance, they would admit that there was something wrong with their parents’ teaching. If their real identities were known, they would inevitably bring disgrace to the Mobei Kingdom.

The two princes’ faces turned as dark as the bottom of a well, and the way they looked at Fan Yuru, they seemed to want to knock her unconscious and throw her into a small dark room to beat her up.

The guard stepped forward. “Brothers, we were rash just now. I’m sorry.”

The waiter waved his hand as if he were scared, “It’s okay…”

Bei Chunyi said with a dark expression, “Now that I’ve apologized, can we put this matter behind us?”

The two people obviously had high statuses. If they were forced into a corner, they would likely do something extreme. There were still so many people here. It would not be good if they were injured. “Listen, if you dare to cause trouble again, 1 will definitely let you experience prison life.”

After saying that, she changed her tone, “Actually, as long as you abide by Daling Dynasty’s laws, no one will make things difficult for you. So, gentlemen, please have a seat and enjoy your meal.”

Fan Yuru said to the shopkeeper, “Hurry up and serve the dishes to the two young masters.”

“There’s no need. Let’s go eat somewhere else.” Bei Chunyi said coldly before leading the way and leaving.

Before he left, he cast a meaningful glance at Fan Yuru.

Fan Yuru felt goosebumps all over her body from the other party’s gaze. Who exactly was this person?

She retracted her gaze and looked at Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong said, “Let’s leave this place first.”

On the street, Tang Jinghong said to Fan Yuru, “They’re the Second and Third Princes of the Mobei Kingdom. They have the same father and mother and are very arrogant. 1 didn’t expect them to be so unreasonable..”

Chapter 563: Divine Weapon

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Suddenly, Fan Yuru remembered what her mother had told her.

However, after this incident, they would probably be discouraged from choosing her as the prince consort.

“Brother Tang, is there no one else in the Mobei Kingdom? Why did they come to Daling Dynasty to choose a consort?”

Tang Jinghong said, “The King of the Mobei Kingdom has been having health problems in recent years. The internal strife in the imperial court is very strong. They came to Daling Dynasty to choose a consort naturally to obtain Daling Dynasty’s support.”

Fan Yuru nodded, “I see.”

Rong Shiyu said worriedly, “Will they hold a grudge against Yuru for standing out this time and secretly playing tricks on her?”

“At this point, we’ll just have to deal with whatever comes our way,” Fan Yuru believed the other party wouldn’t have any ulterior motives towards her and wasn’t worried.

“It seems that’s all we can do.”

On the street.

Bei Chunyi’s eyes darkened, and his entire body emitted a cold aura. “Who was that woman just now?”

The guard who hadn’t spoken up before stepped forward respectfully and said, “She is General Fan’s second daughter, Fan Yuru.”

“General Fan’s daughter?”

The two of them thought in their hearts. If they could marry Fan Yuru back to the Mobei Kingdom, they would be able to obtain the support of the army. They would no longer be at a disadvantage.

Bei Chunlu said, “Currently, the only available Daling princess for marriage is Li Changle. The Daling Emperor might not agree to our proposal, but the daughters of Daling’s ministers are different…”

Bei Chunyi nodded in agreement. “Let’s plan carefully and aim to win over Fan Yuru.”

Bei Chunlu smiled. “Yes, Second Brother.”

The night was dark, with starlight twinkling in the sky.

In the Liu residence.

The servant girl carefully walked into the room and whispered, “Madam, Master has retired to Second Concubine’s room.”

Jiao Qinqin suddenly felt irritated. She threw the rouge box in her hand onto the dressing table, shattering it. Lately, Liu Wenzhao hadn’t visited her room for two days.

“This vixen!”

The servant girl silently took a step back and probed, “Madam, there’s one more thing.”

Jiao Qinqin frowned and said impatiently, “What is it?”

The servant girl whispered, “This afternoon, I saw Young Master Ning bring his fiancee to the capital.”

“Fiancee?!”

At first, Jiao Qinqin never expected Ning Yuting to return. After Ning Yuting’s accident, a sixth rank official from the imperial court (a relatively low-ranking official) proposed marriage to her. She didn’t hesitate to choose the lower-ranked official over marrying a merchant.

The servant girl said, “That’s right. Young Master Ning’s fiancee is a village girl. Back then, when Young Master Ning was in trouble, it was their family who saved Young Master Ning. Now, Young Master Ning probably married that girl to repay their kindness.”

This news eased Jiao Qinqin’s mood somewhat. She said, “It must be to repay the debt; otherwise, with Yuting’s background, how could he possibly marry a village girl?” She paused and asked, “Where is that family staying right now?” The servant girl said, “They didn’t stay in an inn. They stayed in the Chu residence.”

Jiao Qinqin raised her voice slightly. “Chu residence? Which Chu residence?”

The servant girl said hesitantly, “It seems like they bought their own mansion.” “They bought it themselves?” Jiao Qinqin couldn’t believe it, “How can a farmer afford a mansion in the capital? It must be Yuting who bought it for them.” Jealousy welled up inside her. The things that belonged to Ning Yuting’s family were originally supposed to be hers, but now they had been taken away by a countryside girl.

The servant girl wasn’t sure, so she echoed, “It should be Young Master Ning who bought it.”

Jiao Qinqin said angrily, “Do you know where the Chu Residence is?”

The servant girl replied, “1 know.”

“Let’s go meet them tomorrow.”

In the Chu Residence.

Wu Yaqing sat in the courtyard, propping up her chin with one hand, gazing at the full moon in the sky, lost in thought.

Chu Qingzhi walked over and sat opposite her, saying, “I’ve never seen you so preoccupied. What’s wrong?”

Wu Yaqing shifted her gaze away from the moon and looked at Chu Qingzhi with a serious expression. “Qingzhi, I’ll tell you something incredibly unbelievable.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “What’s going on?”

Wu Yaqing pointed to her own head, her voice filled with disbelief, “Ever since I entered the capital, I keep seeing the image of Third Master Lu in my mind. Could it be that Third Master Lu has cast a spell on me?”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t know how to respond.

She asked, “Don’t you dislike him?”

Wu Yaqing sat up straight, speaking hurriedly, “Yes, 1 really can’t stand him, but I have absolutely no control over myself. It’s so distressing.” She furrowed her brows in frustration.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the bright full moon in the sky and asked, “Do you want to see him?”

Wu Yaqing hesitated for a moment and denied it, “No.”

“You don’t mean what you say.”

“Qingzhi, don’t expose me like that.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“It’s not about exposing you; it’s about encouraging you. If you want to see him, go ahead. Third Master Lu is a good person.” To be able to be Tang Jinghong’s brother, his character was definitely not bad.

Wu Yaqing pouted, laid her head on the table, and let out a deep sigh, wearing a troubled expression. “Qingzhi, why would I go see him? He hasn’t come to see me.”

Chu Qingzhi cautiously asked, “So… you’re waiting for him to come to you?”

Wu Yaqing shook her head, “I’m feeling really confused right now, and 1 don’t know what to do. Qingzhi, I want to calm down and think things through.” “Well, take your time to think.” Chu Qingzhi didn’t press the matter further.

General’s mansion.

When Tang Jinghong returned to his residence, he received a letter. “General, it’s a letter from Third Master Lu.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang Jinghong took the letter, opened it, and his expression slightly darkened.

Then, he grabbed his sword and swiftly left.

He moved at high speed, arriving at the outskirts of the city in no time. As he entered a forest, a strong scent of blood reached his nose, carried by the night breeze.

His heart tightened, and he pulled out a cloth from his attire, covering his face, before cautiously approaching the source.

In the center of the forest, a group of people was engaged in a fierce battle. The trees, ground, and grass were ail stained with blood. The moonlight reflected off their swords and made them appear even more cold and sharp.

As Tang Jinghong got closer to the battlefield, he observed the situation carefully and then flew toward Third Master Lu.

Third Master Lu had bloodstains on his body and looked somewhat excited when he saw Tang Jinghong. “You’ve come?”

“Yes.” Tang Jinghong drew his sword to block an attack from the enemy, but unexpectedly, the enemy’s sword broke into two pieces upon contact. Then, he was killed by Tang Jinghong instantly.

Third Master Lu was speechless.

“A divine weapon?”

This was the improved weapon that Qingzhi had given him. It was so powerful that he didn’t use it casually. Calling it a divine weapon wasn’t an exaggeration.

Tang Jinghong kicked one of the enemies away and replied, “Yes.”

Third Master Lu chuckled, “Thanks for coming to help. I’ll treat you to a late-night snack later.”

“Let’s focus on getting out of here alive first.”

“Sure.”

The battle didn’t end until the enemy’s entire army was wiped out. The area they fought in seemed to have been splashed with fresh blood, and it was dyed red, as if the moonlight shining down had turned red as well..

Chapter 564: The Porcelain Competition

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this point, it was already midnight.

After killing the enemies and exhausting himself out, Third Master Lu fainted.

Tang Jinghong sheathed his sword and helped Third Master Lu up. He then said to Third Master Lu’s surviving comrades, “Let’s go back to the general’s mansion to tend to your injuries.”

“Thank you, General Tang.”

In the morning.

The Chu family members woke up early, freshened up, had breakfast, and joined Li Zhenzong and others. They all arrived at Xilin Garden together.

Xinlin Garden was the venue for the annual porcelain competition. Many people interested in porcelain had already gathered there, making it a lively scene with people coming and going.

Outside the main gate, stalls selling breakfast items lined the streets, and vendors were continuously shouting their food, creating a bustling atmosphere.

Chu Xuyuan took a sniff and remarked, “If only we had breakfast here, it smells so good.”

Chu Xuyao agreed, “The porcelain competition lasts for two days, so we can come early tomorrow to have breakfast.”

Chu Xuyuan looked at Chu Xuyao, “How do you know it lasts for two days? Sixth Sister didn’t mention it.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“She didn’t mention it, but I asked,” Chu Xuyao said, thinking that his seventh brother wasn’t very sharp. When he heard about the porcelain competition, he asked all the details.

The porcelain competition was held on the nth and 12th of September at Xilin Garden.

It was organized by the Daling Dynasty’s number one porcelain merchant, the Cai family. The person in charge was Cai Yuting, the Cai family’s First Master.

The Cai Family had been an imperial merchant for many years. Ever since Old Master Cai passed away, the Cai Family had been in charge of First Master Cai. However, First Master Cai was not good at doing business, and the family was on the decline.

Despite their family facing a period of decline, the Cai family was still a family to be reckoned with.

Many porcelain merchants were secretly eyeing the Cai family’s position as the Imperial Merchant. If the Cai family failed to win this competition, their position as the Imperial Merchant would be in jeopardy.

Currently, two families were most likely to challenge the Cai family for the position of Imperial Merchant: the Zhang family and the Yang family.

Both of them were former Imperial Merchants who had once thrived but later declined. However, their younger generations had displayed great talent, leading their families back to prosperity.

There were many porcelain merchants in the Daling Dynasty. Each porcelain merchant could nominate three people to participate in the porcelain competition.

The three nominees from the Li family were Chu Qingshuang, Li Zhenzong’s eldest disciple, Li Shaoya, and Li Zhenzong’s third disciple, Xue Yigang.

Hearing Chu Xuyao’s words, everyone looked at him with appreciative gazes. This little guy had a knack for gathering information.

Chu Xuyao calmly accepted the attention of everyone.

At this moment, members of the Yan family approached. The Yan family and the Li family exchanged greetings, and the Chu family members stepped aside since it had nothing to do with them.

Yan Yanrong pointed at Chu Qingshuang and said to her elder brother, Yan Helin, “Big Brother, she is Chu Qingshuang.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Yan Helin frowned. Yan Yanrong had told him that Chu Qingshuang always used her talent to mock and ridicule her. She looked like a very obedient person, but in reality, she was very narrow-minded.

“I heard that you’re the best porcelain maker in the Li family?”

Chu family members felt uncomfortable listening to this, and Li Qingyu was about to defend her daughter, but Chu Qingzhi stopped her, “Mother, let Qingshuang handle it herself for now.”

As one climbed higher, the obstacles became greater. They had to learn to grow independently; if others lifted them up, the chances of falling were much higher.

Li Zhenzong was engrossed in a conversation with the Yan family members and didn’t notice the undercurrents among the younger generation.

Chu Qingshuang glanced at Yan Yanrong, who coldly snorted and turned her face away.

“I think you must have heard wrongly. No matter how smug I am, 1 wouldn’t dare to say such things. But 1 should have said that…” Chu Qingshuang pointed at Yan Yanrong. “I’m better than her!”

Yan Helin thought to himself that it was indeed not easy to deal with this girl. His frown deepened. “Yanrong is a rich young lady, unlike you, a village girl. Before you went to the Li family, you had never touched porcelain. Your hands did farm work every day, so they are naturally more flexible.”

Chu Qingshuang nodded. “That’s right. Is it a very honorable thing for a rich young lady to be inferior to a village girl? Is it worth your special mention?”

Yan Yanrong scolded, “You have a glib tongue, Chu Qingshuang. In the Li family, Master spoils you, but outside, no one spoils you.”

Chu Qingshuang said with a cold expression, “I’ll return these words to you, Yan Yanrong. You, lacking in skill, resort to bringing your elder brother to confront me. You truly are a wonderful sister.”

Yan Yanrong pointed at Chu Qingshuang. “You…”

Chu Qingshuang turned her head, ignoring Yan Yanrong. She then said to Yan Helin, “I understand that you want to protect your sister. If you have the ability, win against me in the competition. Don’t keep chattering in front of me. It’s annoying.”

Yan Helin didn’t know what to say.

The Chu Family lowered their heads and laughed. Qingshuang, this girl, had quite the sharp tongue.

After Li Zhenzong finished talking, he walked over to his three participants, gave them some final advice, and then led them into Xilin Garden.

The others followed suit and entered Xinlin Garden together.

Yan Yanrong clenched her fist, “Big brother, you must win against Chu Qingshuang and dampen her spirits.”

Yan Helin glanced at Yan Yanrong, “Let’s go.”

Yan Yanrong stomped her foot and followed, Chu Qingshuang was really not easy to deal with.

After entering Xilin Garden, the spectators went to the left, and the competitors to the right, all in an orderly manner.

Chu Qingshuang and her two companions arrived at the place to pick up their number plates and each received a wooden board engraved with large numbers.

To ensure fairness, the competitors would be anonymous.

After receiving their number plates, the competitors put them away carefully, not to be seen by others. If caught cheating, they would be announced during the competition and permanently banned from participating again, which was very strict.

After getting the number plates, they queued up.

Each competition only registered a hundred porcelain businesses, totaling three hundred competitors, with seventy-five competing at the same time in one round, and a total of four rounds, two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

After shaping the porcelain blanks, specialized personnel would take them for firing. The next day, ten judges, all prestigious seniors in the porcelain industry, would evaluate them.

Xilin Garden had a special square for shaping porcelain blanks. After receiving their number plates, Chu Qingshuang and her companions went to the square to queue up.

There were four queues in total, with participants free to choose which one to join.

The first queue was for the first group of competitors, the second queue for the second group, and so on.

The three members of the Yan family participating in the competition, along with Chu Qingshuang and her group, were all in the second queue, as the first queue was already full.

Once all four queues were full, a person in charge came to where everyone was lined up, “The first group, please go to the square to participate in the competition, timing one hour. Please manage your time well.”

Those who came to participate in the porcelain competition were all experienced, and they walked to the square steadily upon hearing the instructions of the person in charge..

Chapter 565: Lifelong Matter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the middle of the square, a complex porcelain piece was placed for the competitors to model after. Before starting, they could approach for a closer observation, but they needed to manage their time well.

The area around the square was surrounded by many spectators, creating a lively atmosphere. Chu Qingzhi and her group stood under a large birch tree, watching the activities in the square.

Granny Chu looked around and said, “It seems like Qingshuang isn’t in the first round.”

Grandpa Chu said, “1 didn’t see Qingshuang either.”

Li Zhenzong said, “Qingshuang is probably in a later group. Each round lasts an hour. Let’s see if she’s in the next one.”

Li Qingyu, somewhat worried, asked, “Master Li, with so many competitors, what position can Qingshuang secure?”

Li Zhenzong confidently replied, “She will definitely be among the front runners.”

Hearing this, Li Qingyu felt considerably relieved.

Since Chu Qingshuang wasn’t competing yet, the group decided to split up and explore Xilin Garden.

The place was similar to a food festival, bustling with many stalls, providing an enjoyable way to pass the time.

In the imperial court.

Civil and military officials stood in separate rows, clearly distinguished.

Bei Chunyi stepped out of the line to pay respects, “Your Majesty, yesterday I happened to meet Second Miss Fan and fell in love at first sight. May I ask for Your Majesty’s permission to marry her?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the court became tense.

General Fan clenched his fists tightly, frustrated by his daughter’s disobedience in going out, and now this predicament.

This Second Prince dared to propose marrying his daughter. He wouldn’t mind killing him and leading his cavalry to flatten the Mobei Kingdom, expanding the territory of the Dating Dynasty.

Tang Jinghong thought to himself, This is going to be troublesome.

The minister in charge of foreign affairs stepped forward, “Your Majesty, Second Miss Fan, the daughter of General Fan, is skilled in both literary and martial arts. It’s not surprising that the Second Prince is fond of her. However, in our Dating, marriages are based on mutual consent. If the Second Prince wishes to marry Second Miss Fan, he must first gain her approval.”

The statement was diplomatically put, neither agreeing nor refusing the proposal, essentially implying that unless the lady willingly agrees, the prince’s wishful thinking is in vain.

The emperor looked at the Minister of Foreign Affairs with approval and said, “The minister is right. Second Miss Fan is no ordinary woman. If I rashly issue a decree forcing her to marry, it might lead to a tragedy.”

“Also, there’s another matter. Second Miss Fan has inherited General Fan’s martial arts skills. The Second Prince should be careful when interacting with her.”

A flower may be beautiful, but beware of its poison, for it can be deadly.

…After all, Fan Yuru is the emperor’s sister-in-law. If the emperor orders her to marry to a vassal kingdom, the empress might throw a knife at him.

Several other ministers expressed their opinions, similar to those of the Minister of the Foreign Affairs.

Bei Chunji and Bei Chunlu were furious when they heard this, but they did not dare to flare up at all. Otherwise, it would be even more impossible for them to obtain support.

Bei Chunyi, with a calm expression, asked, “So, Your Majesty and the ministers mean that if Secon Miss Fan is willing, I can marry her?”

The Emperor nodded. “Yes.”

“I understand,” Bei Chunyi said and returned to his position.

General Fan looked at the Bei brothers and could not suppress the anger in his heart. He really wanted to kill the two of them to prevent future troubles.

Tang Jinghong glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye. This was the wife candidate Qingzhi had found for her disciple. Although it was not confirmed yet, no one could say for sure what would happen in the future. If these men dare to pursue her, they might find it hard even to return to their Mobei Kingdom alive.

After the morning court session, General Fan hurried back to his residence. Coincidentally, Fan Yuru was leaving for Xilin Garden to watch Chu Qingshuang’s competition.

General Fan asked with a heavy voice, “Yuru, where are you going?”

Fan Yuru, puzzled, replied, “Father, did something upset you at court? You seem angry.”

General Fan swept his eyes over two maids and ordered, “Take Second Miss to my study.” Then he turned and walked inside.

Fan Yuru, watching her father’s retreating figure, called out, “Father, what’s wrong?”

Without turning back, General Fan’s voice came, “Come here quickly.”

Fan Yuru stood still for a moment, then followed, asking, “Father, what’s the matter?”

In the study, General Fan sat behind the desk, taking a deep breath and looking at Fan Yuru, “How did you provoke the prince of the Mobei Kingdom yesterday?”

Fan Yuru explained the whole story, saying, “They bullied someone first…”

General Fan sized up his daughter. She had a beautiful face and was in the prime of her youth. She was like a blooming flower. If she married Bei Chunyi, it would be like a flower stuck in cow dung. He would never allow it. “Today, Bei Chunyi asked to marry you in the imperial court.”

Fan Yuru felt like she had been struck by lightning, incredulously asking, “Father, what are you talking about?”

General Fan grew angry at the mention, “Bei Chunyi wants to marry you.”

“A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh!” Fan Yuru cursed angrily, “Father, I absolutely disagree. I’d rather die than marry him.”

General Fan’s brows were tightly furrowed. “No one agrees, but this issue remains a concern.”

Fan Yuru pondered for a moment, “Father, let me consult with my sisters. We can surely find a solution.”

General Fan objected, “Your sisters are all ladies from respectable families. Who among them could solve such a matter? You stay in the house and don’t go anywhere.”

“Father, are you suggesting I should just sit and wait for disaster?”

“No, I will think of a solution.”

Fan Yuru declared fiercely, “I must find a way to deal with my own lifelong matters. If that prince dares to force me, I’ll make sure he becomes a eunuch.”

Although General Fan was angry, he felt reassured by Fan Yuru’s words. Like father, like daughter. “Alright, let’s think of a solution together.”

Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

All foreign envoys were accommodated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When Bei Chunji and Bei Chunlu returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they were flustered and exasperated. She was just the daughter of a minister, yet everyone was speaking up for her.

After calming down, Bei Chunlu asked, “Second Brother, what should we do now?”

Bei Chunyi’s heart was burning with anger, but he looked calmer and calmer. “Didn’t they say that as long as Fan Yuru agrees, she can be married off?”

Bei Chunlu said hesitantly, “Second Brother, what do you mean?”

The teacup in Bei Chunyi’s hand was crushed. “Then let Fan Yuru do it willingly.”

Yipin Tea House.

The door was knocked, and Fan Yuru went to answer it.

TWo girls, wearing white fur hats, stood at the door. As soon as Fan Yuru opened it, they quickly entered the private room and closed the door behind them.

Fan Yuru looked at them, “Why are you dressed like this?”

Sun Qingqing, granddaughter of the General of the Cavalry, removed her hat and said, “Isn’t it to avoid those two princes?”

Feng Xuejun, the daughter of a general, agreed, “If we didn’t dress like this, our families wouldn’t let us out at all.”

Fan Yuru poured tea for them, “Sit down. We’ll wait a bit longer; two more people are coming..”

Chapter 566: A Small Wish

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Qingqing looked at Fan Yuru and asked with concern, “Look at your worried face. Did you encounter some difficulties?”

Fan Yuru sighed, “Let’s wait until everyone is here, then I’ll tell you.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yuan Qingqing and Feng Xuejun exchanged glances, nodding without further comment.

Soon, there was another knock on the door.

Fan Yuru sprang up and rushed to open it, “Qingzhi, Shiyu.” After calling out, she rushed to embrace Chu Qingzhi, “Qingzhi, I’m facing a problem.”

Chu Qingzhi gently patted Fan Yuru’s back in consolation, “What happened?”

“Take a seat first.” Fan Yuru let go of Chu Qingzhi and pulled the two of them to sit on the stool. She sat at the side and indignantly told her four good sisters what had happened.

Yuan Qingqing clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger, “Presumptuous!”

Fan Yuru looked upset, “Yesterday at Tainan Restaurant, I clearly scolded him, yet he claimed to have fallen in love with me at first sight. Do you think he’s out of his mind?”

Feng Xuejun cautiously asked, “Yuru, is there any misunderstanding in all this?”

Fan Yuru shook her head, “1 don’t know. My father told me this news when he returned from court this morning, and 1 immediately came to discuss it with you.”

Rong Shiyu thought for a moment and asked, “What was the emperor and the court’s reaction when Bei Chunyi proposed to marry you?”

Fan Yuru replied, “My father said everyone opposed it.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Rong Shiyu sighed in relief, “That’s good. It would be problematic if the court agreed to a marriage alliance, leaving us with no room to maneuver.”

Fan Yuru also felt relieved, “Qingzhi, what do you think?”

Chu Qingzhi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, “Yuru, it’s not you they are after, but what you represent.”

These words stunned the four women, and they immediately came to a realization. Fan Yuru was the daughter of General Fan. If they could obtain General Fan’s support, why would they worry that the throne of the Mobei Kingdom would not fall into their hands?!

Fan Yuru slammed her hand on the table, “My father dotes on me. If I marry

Bei Chunyi, he would undoubtedly support him wholeheartedly. It’s a calculated move indeed.”

Rong Shiyu looked worried, “If it’s about the power behind you, those princes won’t give up easily.”

Fan Yuru nodded, “That’s why my father said it’s a hidden threat.”

Yuan Qingqing advised, “Yuru, you should listen to your father and stay indoors for a while.” She decided to do the same, as her grandfather also held military power, and it would be troublesome if she drew attention.

Feng Xuejun also advised, “Yes, ambitious men are capable of anything.”

Rong Shiyu cautioned, “They’re right. If they are after your father’s support, they will surely do everything to have you. Be careful, Yuru.”

Fan Yuru looked towards Chu Qingzhi, eager for her opinion, “Qingzhi, what do you think I should do?”

“Actually, not going out won’t solve the problem.” Chu Qingzhi wasn’t someone who liked to be passive; she preferred to take the initiative and control the situation.

Fan Yuru looked at her with hopeful eyes, “Qingzhi, do you have any good ideas?”

Chu Qingzhi replied calmly, “Just make them leave Daling.”

Ads by Pubfuture

The four women looked confused. “Leave? How can they leave? They won’t leave without achieving their goals, right?”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the four women and asked patiently, “What do they care about the most?”

In unison, the four girls answered, “The throne of the Mobei Kingdom.”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “If news spreads from the Mobei Kingdom that the king has been poisoned, or is seriously ill, or has met with an accident – essentially, that the kingdom is about to change rulers – do you think they would still stay put?”

The girls’ eyes shone with admiration as they looked at Chu Qingzhi.

Fan Yuru said eagerly, “Qingzhi, I’ll go back and tell my father right away.”

Yuan Qingqing quickly added, “1’11 also tell my grandfather and coordinate our actions to drive those two out of Daling as soon as possible.”

Feng Xuejun and Rong Shiyu also agreed to inform their families.

Chu Qingzhi smiled slightly, “Go ahead.”

Tang Jinghong, having changed into casual clothes, was heading towards Xilin Garden when a young girl suddenly blocked his way, “General, the princess wants to see you.”

Tang Jinghong sidestepped her and continued walking.

The girl threatened, “If you don’t go, rumors of the princess spending the night at your residence will spread immediately.”

Tang Jinghong stopped, his forehead vein throbbing, an intimidating chill emanating from him, “Lead the way!”

The girl, frightened, quickly said, “This way, General.”

Tang Jinghong followed the girl towards a nearby teahouse.

Ads by Pubfuture

This scene happened to be seen by Chu Qingzhi, who had just returned to Xilin Garden. She looked at it in confusion, thought for a while, restrained her aura, and followed.

Jinghong looked reluctant. Something must have happened.

Entering the private room of the teahouse, the air was filled with a refreshing tea fragrance.

Princess Changle stood up as she saw Tang Jinghong, “Jinghong.” This time, her demeanor was somewhat subdued, not as overbearing as before.

Tang Jinghong stood at the door with indifferent eyes. He cupped his fists and bowed. “Princess, if you have something to say, please say it.”

Princess Changle stared at Tang Jinghong’s handsome face with some infatuation. She did not want to give up, but Chu Qingzhi’s words often impacted her, making her not want to continue pestering him.

Slowly withdrawing her gaze, she said, “General Tang, I have a favor to ask.”

Tang Jinghong responded indifferently, “Please give your instructions, Princess.”

“I don’t want to marry Bei Chunlu. Can you help me think of a way?” For the first time, Princess Changle spoke in a pleading tone.

Tang Jinghong was somewhat surprised, “Bei Chunlu proposed to you?”

“Yes, he did. My brother, the Emperor, neither agreed nor disagreed. 1 beg you to help me, General Tang. If you help me, 1 promise never to bother you again.”

Princess Changle was visibly frightened. The matter concerned the relations between two countries, and if her brother decreed her marriage, she had no means to resist. A marriage alliance was often the most tragic fate for a princess, and she didn’t want that.

Tang Jinghong said matter-of-factly, “A marriage alliance involving the princess affects the entire Daling. 1 believe the Emperor will not agree to it.” “Really?” Princess Changle was pleasantly surprised.

Tang Jinghong explained, “Based on my understanding of the Emperor, unless Daling faces a crisis of national extinction, he would not consent to a marriage alliance.”

Hearing this, Princess Changle’s worries subsided, and she joyfully said, “Thank you, General Tang.”

Tang Jinghong bowed, “1 shall take my leave.”

“Wait,” Princess Changle called out to Tang Jinghong, biting her lip before asking boldly, “If Chu Qingzhi were not in the picture, would you choose to be with me?”

Tang Jinghong answered without a hint of emotion, “No, I wouldn’t.”

“Why?” Princess Changle became agitated, “Even if you disdain my capriciousness, there are so many noble ladies in the capital. Why don’t you like any of them?”

Tang Jinghong replied with something unexpected, “When I am old, I wish to run a small stall and live an ordinary life.. Which one of you could accompany me to fulfill this wish?”

Chapter 567: Obsession Gone

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Even if the noble ladies of the capital could set aside their pride, they would not choose such a life. In the end, they belonged to different worlds.

Can people from two different worlds be together?

The answer is definitely… no!

Back then, when Tang Jinghong took his father’s place in military service, he never expected to be involved in a war for over a decade. Although he eventually rose to the position of a national general, this was not what he had actively sought. What he desired more was to live a simple, ordinary life.

His wants were not many.

Princess Changle’s tightly clenched hands slowly relaxed. Such a life, perhaps only Chu Qingzhi could share with him.

Her obsession began to loosen.

On the street.

“Jinghong.” Chu Qingzhi stood by the roadside, hands behind her back, a faint smile on her face.

“Why are you here?” Tang Jinghong walked towards Chu Qingzhi, a smile curling up on his lips, his heart slowly filled with joy.

“I went to see Yuru.” Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment, deciding not to mention that she had followed him. The matter between Tang Jinghong and the princess was already in the past; there was no need to bring it up again.

“What did Yuru tell you?” Tang Jinghong walked with Chu Qingzhi towards Xilin Garden.

“She said Bei Chunyi wants to marry her and asked me for help. So, I gave her an idea.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Tang Jinghong was impressed with her quick thinking, given the ministers and even the Emperor were still troubled by the issue. “What idea did you come up with?”

Chu Qingzhi recounted their conversation in the teahouse.

After hearing it, Tang Jinghong couldn’t help but admire her, “Qingzhi, if you were to become an official, 1 guess there wouldn’t be a problem you couldn’t solve.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled modestly, “You flatter me.”

The two chatted leisurely as they arrived at Xilin Garden.

Tang Jinghong glanced over the square, “When is Qingshuang competing?”

“This round is hers.”

“Just in time.”

The two joined the Chu family, and on the square, competitors were placing their finished porcelain blanks in designated spots. The second round of competitors began to take their places one after another.

Chu Qingshuang was among the crowd, dressed in a narrow-sleeved dress embroidered with Longevity Flowers, her bright eyes sparkling. The young girl, about thirteen or fourteen, stood gracefully.

Li Shaoliang watched Chu Qingshuang and thought to himself, “My junior sister is really beautiful.”

After entering the square, Chu Qingshuang didn’t follow the crowd to observe the porcelain piece but chose a seat to work on her clay.

Preparing the clay is an important part of testing a porcelain maker’s skill. The quality of the clay affects the shaping of the blank, its smoothness, and whether it will deform when fired.

Once she had prepared her clay, the crowd observing the porcelain piece had thinned, making it easier for her to take a closer look.

Chu Qingshuang carefully noted down the details she needed to pay attention to. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she returned to her seat and began shaping her porcelain blank.

Ads by Pubfuture

Every move Chu Qingshuang made was steady and composed, resembling that of a seasoned craftsman.

The Chu and Li families watched her intently.

Many connoisseurs in the crowd noticed her, but considering her young age and potential lack of experience, they gradually shifted their attention elsewhere.

Chu Qingshuang immersed herself in shaping her porcelain blank, completely focused.

By this time, several participants had already shaped their blanks. Yan Helin glanced at Chu Qingshuang and smiled to himself, thinking she was after all just a young girl. To create such a complex porcelain embryo in an hour, she didn’t realize the importance of racing against time. Instead, she kept looking around, wasting so much precious time!

He decided not to worry about a proud young girl and focused on his own work.

Outside the square, Li Qingyu clutched the edge of her garment, visibly nervous, “Qingshuang is so much slower; can she shape that complex porcelain blank in just an hour?”

Chu Rong patted her shoulder, reassuring her, “You have to believe in our daughter. Qingshuang will surely be among the top.”

Li Qingyu looked at Chu Rong, “You don’t seem worried at all?”

Chu Rong said seriously, “Who says I’m not worried? My worry is all inside.”

Chu Qingyue spoke up to ease the tension, “Mother, you know father always keeps his feelings to himself. He’s definitely concerned about Qingshuang.”

“Hmm,” Li Qingyu didn’t say anything more.

Chu Rong touched his nose, deciding it was better to speak less in the future to avoid upsetting Qingyu.

Tang Jinghong suggested, “Uncle Chu, there’s a tea stall over there. Shall we sit there and wait?”

Chu Rong looked back, “Father, Mother, Qingyu, shall we sit there?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Grandpa Chu and Granny Chu both refused. Li Qingyu waved her hand. “We’re not going. You guys go.”

Chu Rong turned to Tang Jinghong, “You go ahead, I’ll wait here.”

“Alright.” With more than half an hour left in the competition, Tang Jinghong, Chu Qingzhi, and Chu Qingyue walked over to the tea stall, ordered a pot of tea, and sat down to wait.

Not far away, Jiao Qinqin, with a troubled expression, entered Xilin Garden with her maid.

Jiao Qinqin scanned the crowd, “Which one is Chu Qingyue?”

The maid pointed towards the small tea stall, “The lady in the white dress embroidered with hibiscus flowers.”

Jiao Qinqin looked over and focused her gaze on Chu Qingyue. She observed her for a while, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

Chu Qingyue had a serene and gentle demeanor, her bright eyes like tranquil autumn waters. She resembled the hibiscus flowers embroidered on her dress—elegant and soft.

Although Chu Qingyue came from a village, she lacked any hint of rusticity. Her temperament was on par with those of the young ladies from the city, but what stood out was her innate gentleness, which seemed to make the whole world more tender.

Sitting next to her was Ning Yuting, who looked at Chu Qingyue with a gentle and affectionate gaze, a look Jiao Qinqin had never seen him give her.

Jiao Qinqin grew up alongside Ning Yuting, but why had he never looked at her that way?

A sense of discomfort surged in Jiao Qinqin’s heart. These attentions, which she believed should have been hers, were now all taken by a village girl.

Clutching her handkerchief tightly, a feeling of resentment grew within her.

“Chu Qingyue, just you wait!” With a flick of her sleeve, Jiao Qinqin turned and left.

Chu Qingyue was currently with her family, and Jiao Qinqin, alone and unsupported, knew she would be at a disadvantage if she confronted her now. She needed an opportunity.

Chu Qingyue glanced in the direction of Jiao Qinqin, catching only a glimpse of her retreating figure. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Strange, she had felt someone watching her just now.

After looking around and seeing no one else, Chu Qingyue withdrew her gaze and let it go.

As time passed, the main porcelain blank in Chu Qingshuang’s hands gradually took shape. Although she started later than others, she had already surpassed many competitors, and her piece was smoother and better crafted.

Next came the addition of decorations to the main porcelain blank.

The decorations were numerous and intricate, requiring utmost care to avoid any mistakes. Some competitors, reaching this stage, found themselves having to redo their work or going back to observe the model piece again..

Chapter 568:. Feeling Defeated

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingshuang remained deeply engrossed in shaping her porcelain blank, her concentration absolute. Her fingers moved nimbly, molding each piece of clay into various shapes and seamlessly integrating them with the main blank to form a cohesive whole.

As time passed, the porcelain piece in front of Chu Qingshuang increasingly resembled the model provided for observation…

Yan Helin, having finished his main blank, proudly went to check Chu Qingshuang’s work, only to be stunned at first glance. His heart was filled with disbelief.

Chu Qingshuang had started much later, so how had she made such progress?

Her porcelain blank seemed perfect, flawless. If one didn’t know better, they might assume it was the work of an experienced master with decades of skill, not a young girl.

Could it be that Chu Qingshuang wasn’t just arrogantly confident but genuinely skilled?

He felt a bit defeated.

Yan Yanrong, standing outside the area, was so anxious she wanted to rush forward and smash Chu Qingshuang’s porcelain piece. How could she have shaped it so well?

She had seen Chu Qingshuang’s work before; although it was good, it was never as perfect as today’s piece.

Li Zhenzong looked at Chu Qingshuang with satisfaction. His disciple was performing excellently today.

Li Shaoliang said proudly, “Dad, Qingshuang is almost surpassing your skills.”

Li Zhenzong smiled, “I don’t mind her surpassing me. I worry if she can’t. I hope she becomes ten or a hundred times better than me, a renowned master in her own right.”

Li Shaoliang confidently said, “Qingshuang is still young. Given time, she will definitely achieve that.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Li Zhenzong playfully taunted his son, “The better Qingshuang becomes, the more apparent your gap with her. What are you so happy about?”

Li Shaoliang turned to Li Zhenzong, “Dad, you’re not really going to favor her over your own son, are you?”

Li Zhenzong patted Li Shaoliang’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Don’t worry, I will always be fair and just, even if it means being tough on my own kin.”

Li Shaoliang didn’t know what to say.

Nearby, quiet murmurs of conversation could be heard.

“That young girl’s porcelain shaping is impressive.”

“You noticed too?”

“Her skills are comparable to a master craftsman. I wonder which family she belongs to.”

“I guess either the Zhang family or the Yang family. These two families are currently the most influential, with many talented individuals.”

“Let’s wait and see. The answer will be revealed tomorrow.”

At that moment, members of the Zhang and Yang families were also observing Chu Qingshuang, considering if they could recruit such a talented porcelain artist.

At the tea stall.

Ning Shuangshuang, accompanied by her maid, walked over and was surprised to see Ning Yuting. “Big cousin, you’re here too?”

She was Ning Yuting’s third cousin and was already married into a porcelain merchant family. She had come to watch the competition.

“Just taking a look,” replied Ning Yuting, who hadn’t seen Ning Shuangshuang for some time. “Come, let me introduce you…”

Ads by Pubfuture

He introduced the Chu family at the table.

After hearing Ning Yuting’s introductions, Ning Shuangshuang curtsied, “1 am Ning Shuangshuang, pleased to meet you all.” After the greetings, her gaze landed on Chu Qingyue, scrutinizing her critically, though she couldn’t find any fault. “Pleased to meet my future cousin-in-law.”

Chu Qingyue stood up straight and returned the bow nervously. Other than Grandpa Ning, this was the second person she had seen from the Ning family. “Cousin Shuangshuang.”

Ning Shuangshuang, with a hint of sarcasm, said, “Many things can change in this world, and it’s not certain we will become family.”

This comment changed the atmosphere, making everyone uncomfortable. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Chu Qingyue blushed with embarrassment and stiffness.

Chu Qingzhi pulled Chu Qingyue to sit down and whispered, “This is a good opportunity to see Ning Yuting’s stance. If he doesn’t stand up for you, it might be better not to proceed with this marriage.”

Chu Qingyue nodded slightly, “Okay.”

Ning Yuting stood up, his gaze sternly fixed on Ning Shuangshuang, “You are already married and out of our family. Whether Qingyue marries me or not, she won’t become your family member. And her calling you cousin is out of courtesy and politeness. Ning Shuangshuang, in the future, you don’t have to come back to the Ning family.”

Ning Shuangshuang was stunned, not expecting Ning Yuting to defend Chu Qingyue so strongly.

Her mother had told her that after Ning Yuting got married, her grandfather would hand over the power of the head of the family to him. Now that Ning Yuting asked her to not come back to the Ning family, it was no different from cutting ties with her.

“Cousin, we’re family. Chu Qingyue is an outsider. How can you side with outsiders?”

Ning Yuting told Ning Shuangshuang seriously, “You’re wrong. Qingyue and I are family. You’re just a relative to me.”

Ning Shuangshuang’s face turned pale. She glared fiercely at Chu Qingyue and left with the servant girl.

“Wait!” Ning Yuting called out to her.

Ads by Pubfuture

Turning back, Ning Shuangshuang asked resentfully, “What else?”

Ning Yuting demanded, “Apologize to Qingyue.”

Chu Qingyue raised her head and looked at Ning Yuting. At this moment, she was certain that this man was worth entrusting her life to. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, like starlight.

Chu Qingzhi and the rest were also very satisfied with Ning Yuting’s attitude and felt more at ease about their marriage.

Ning Shuangshuang was in disbelief. “Cousin, you want me to apologize to her?”

Ning Yuting repeated, “Apologize.”

The atmosphere was tense.

Ning Yuting sat on a stool and poured a cup of tea for Chu Qingyue. He also ordered a plate of tea and snacks that Chu Qingyue liked and placed it in front of her. He said gently, “I’m sorry you had to go through that. Let’s have something nice to eat later to make up for it.”

Chu Qingyue smiled at Ning Yuting, “Okay.”

Ning Shuangshuang, filled with jealousy, watched the scene. She had never been treated so tenderly by her husband. Why did this village girl deserve Ning Yuting’s affection?

She grabbed the handkerchief with both hands and twisted it out of shape.

Taking deep breath, deep breath, deep breath…

Ning Shuangshuang squeezed out the words from between her teeth. “Chu Qingyue, I’m sorry for what 1 said just now. I shouldn’t have said those words.”

Her family still had to rely on Ning Yuting. Her eldest brother had also been preparing to accept some of the family’s business recently. If she angered her eldest cousin, her family would be at a disadvantage.

Chu Qingyue didn’t care about Ning Shuangshuang at all, but she still wanted to say, “We’re all women. We’re married and in similar situations. There’s no need to go against each other.”

Ning Shuangshuang ignored her words, saying spitefully before leaving, “I hope he always cares for you like this, otherwise your end will be miserable.”

With that, she turned around and left.

Chu Qingning took Chu Qingyue’s hand, “Second sister, don’t mind her words. Even if your husband ever treats you badly, you still have us. We can earn our own living.”

Ning Yuting was speechless.

Chu Qingzhi was slightly surprised, noting Chu Qingning’s awakening sense of female independence..

Chapter 569: A Stunning Debut

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingyue glanced at Ning Yuting, then gently patted Chu Qingning’s hand, “Yuting won’t treat me badly, don’t worry.”

Only then did Chu Qingning remember that Ning Yuting was still here. She said embarrassedly, “Brother-in-law, you won’t mind what I said, right?”

“I don’t mind,” Ning Yuting replied generously. “But 1 must say, I will treat your sister well.”

“I know. I was just comforting Second Sister just now. That person is really too infuriating.” Chu Qingning was still very angry.

Seeing Chu Qingyue frown slightly, Ning Yuting quickly reassured her, “Ning Shuangshuang is married and won’t affect our family.”

No one said anything. After all, they were family. Even if she was married, her surname was still Ning.

The atmosphere was a little awkward…

Chu Qingyue said to ease the atmosphere, “Fifth Sister is almost done with the porcelain.”

Chu Qingning looked over. “Yes, it’s almost done.”

Everyone shifted their attention to Chu Qingshuang and began discussing the competition, returning the atmosphere to normal.

At the Ning Residence.

Ning Shuangshuang stormed back to her parents’ home, cursing certain people in her heart.

Second Madam Ning looked at her daughter’s unhappy face and quickly stood up, asking with concern, “What happened? Did your husband upset you again?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“It’s not him. It’s Chu Qingyue.” Ning Shuangshuang was seething with anger.

“What did she do to you?” Second Madam Ning pulled Ning Shuangshuang to sit down, her expression slightly unhappy.

“Earlier at Xilin Garden, in order to protect her, Eldest Cousin actually asked me to never come back to the Ning family.” Ning Shuangshuang was so aggrieved that she could not help but cry.

Second Madam Ning frowned. “Does your eldest cousin like her so much?”

Ning Shuangshuang sobbed, “Yes, he seems to value her a lot. Mother, if Chu Qingyue marries into the family, there might be no place for us in the Ning residence.”

“Shuangshuang, don’t cry.” Second Madam Ning took out a handkerchief and wiped her daughter’s face. “No matter what, she’s still the daughter of a farmer. She’s shallow and won’t affect us.”

Ning Shuangshuang hurriedly said, “Mother, you’re wrong. That Chu Qingyue is not an illiterate village girl. Not only does she know how to read, but she also knows how to do business. She can’t be underestimated.”

“Really?” Second Madam Ning immediately felt a sense of crisis. Now, the management right of the Ning family was in her hands. According to Ning Shuangshuang, when Chu Qingyue married into the family, the management right would immediately be handed over to her. She had underestimated Chu Qingyue.

Ning Shuangshuang promised, “Mother, I’ll lie to no one but you.”

Due to the fact that Chu Qingyue was born into a farmer’s family, Second Madam Ning did not ask too much about her background. Now, it seemed that she had been negligent. “Shuangshuang, Mother will not let her have a good time. She’s just a village girl. No matter how powerful she is, the Ning residence is not her territory.”

Ning Shuangshuang warned, “Mother, don’t underestimate Chu Qingyue. If she has won eldest cousin’s affection, she must be quite capable.”

Second Madam Ning said disdainfully, “Just some sly tricks, I suppose. I’ve seen it all in my life.”

“I trust you have ways to deal with her.”

“It’s a small matter.”

At Xilin Garden.

Chu Qingshuang meticulously attached the last petal to her porcelain piece. Instead of leaving immediately, she carefully inspected her work, her focus unwavering, unlike others who left proudly after finishing their blanks. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yan Helin kept glancing at Chu Qingshuang after his second look. Seeing her complete her work, he grew anxious. Despite her slower pace, how had she finished first?

Li Zhenzong looked on with pride. His disciple started last but finished first, and judging by the overall quality, no one did better than her.

Li Shaoliang admired Chu Qingshuang, “My junior sister is amazing, better than everyone here.”

Li Qingyu and others relaxed as they saw Chu Qingshuang finish her work, content with her completion regardless of the quality.

More and more spectators began to notice Chu Qingshuang.

“This young girl did a great job!”

“She’s definitely from a prominent family, sent here to astonish everyone.”

“She’s young, but calm and composed. She has a promising future.”

The Zhang family and the Yang family looked at each other and saw admiration for Chu Qingshuang in each other’s eyes. In an instant, the two families, which were competitors, were filled with hostility… They both wanted to recruit Chu Qingshuang.

As the Zhang and Yang families engaged in a silent battle of glances, the second round of the competition ended.

Chu Qingshuang placed her porcelain piece in the designated area and ran towards her family.

“How did I do? I hope I didn’t disappoint you,” Chu Qingzhuang said confidently.

Li Qingyu pulled her daughter close, admiring her hands, praising none-stop, “Truly skillful.”

Li Zhenzong also praised her, “Qingshuang, your porcelain shaping was excellent.”

Yan Yanrong, hearing Li Zhenzong’s praise, was visibly irritated, thinking, ‘What’s so good about it? It’s just a pot!’

Chu Qingshuang smiled at everyone, “Let’s go have lunch. I’m starving.”

Ning Yuting suggested, “Let’s eat at Tainan Restaurant. I’ve already made reservations.”

Chu Qingshuang smiled, “Second Brother-in-law, you’re so thoughtful.”

Ning Yuting returned the smile, “Can’t let everyone go hungry.”

The group headed to Tainan Restaurant for lunch.

In the Chu Residence.

A young monk sat on the steps, petting Da Bai’s ears, looking puzzled, “Master, why aren’t we going out?”

The abbot replied, “You need to focus on your studies.”

Recently, the young monk was not as serious in his studies as before. He had to be disciplined and calm down.

The young monk let out a long breath. “Master, I’m just a kid.”

The abbot patiently instructed, “Even kids must study properly.”

The young monk tapped his shaved head, seeming troubled, “Master, if I redo my studies, can I go out and play?”

“Depends on your performance,” the abbot said.

“Then I’ll go.” The young monk gently stroked Da Bai’s head, got up, and went to his room to do his homework.

Da Bai relaxed under the rhythmic sound of the wooden fish, dozing off under the tree, looking like a big cat sunbathing.

The abbot closed his eyes, fingers moving over his prayer beads, continuing his chanting.

In the afternoon, the Emperor sent his personal eunuch, Li Fei, to the Chu residence.

The young butler, seeing the eunuch from the palace, was momentarily stunned before hurrying to greet him, “Greetings to Eunuch Li.”

Li Fei looked around, flicking his dust whisk, “Is the abbot here?”

The young butler hurriedly responded, “Yes, I’ll go and fetch him right away.”

Eunuch Li Fei stopped the young butler “Don’t go, take me there.” He didn’t dare to let the master abbot come to see him; he had to go personally to show sincerity.

The butler hurriedly said, “This way, Eunuch.”

A group of people walked towards the guest courtyard.

The master abbot had changed a place for chanting scriptures. He was chanting in a pavilion, while Da Bai, the tiger, lay lazily at his feet, dozing off.

Upon seeing the master abbot, Eunuch Li Fei hurried forward, but when he saw the huge creature beside the abbot’s feet, he was so frightened that he hid behind a tree, his heart pounding fiercely.

The two eunuchs following him hadn’t seen the tiger and were startled by Eunuch Li Fei’s reaction.

“Eunuch Li, what happened?” The two eunuchs supported Eunuch Li Fei, one on each side.

Eunuch Li Fei clutched his chest, swallowing hard, “Didn’t you see the tiger?”

The two eunuchs’ hearts skipped a beat. “Eunuch Li, where is the tiger?”

The butler had also been frightened before, but he wasn’t so afraid anymore.

He hurriedly explained, “Eunuch Li, that’s Miss Chu’s pet. Don’t be afraid. It doesn’t bite.”

“What? That big white tiger is Chu Qingzhi’s pet?” Eunuch Li Fei couldn’t believe it. People might keep a small cat or dog as a pet, but Chu Qingzhi, that young lady, actually kept a tiger!!

The young butler said carefully, “Yes, the big white tiger just eats and sleeps, very well-behaved.”

Eunuch Li Fei slowly peeked out from behind the tree…

Hearing the commotion, the master abbot came over.

The big white tiger yawned and went back to sleep. A bunch of cowards. If this tiger wanted to eat you, you would have been gone long ago.

Seeing the master abbot, Eunuch Li Fei felt less afraid and glanced at Da Bai before quickly shifting his gaze to the master abbot, “Greetings, Master Abbot.”

The master abbot, seeing Eunuch Li Fei’s fear, walked with him outside, “Did His Majesty send you?”

Eunuch Li Fei replied ingratiatingly, “Master Abbot, you’re truly prescient. It is indeed so.”

The master abbot smiled, “Let’s go.”

Eunuch Li Fei respectfully said, “After you, Master Abbot.”

The young monk, hearing the noise, rushed out of the room, his eyes wide as he looked at the master abbot, “Master, where are you going?” He thought the master abbot was going out.

The master abbot replied in a gentle voice, “I am going to the palace.”

The young monk hurried over, clutching the master abbot’s robe, his eyes wide with eagerness, “Master, I want to go too.”

Eunuch Li Fei, seeing the cute little monk, couldn’t help but be fond of him.

The master abbot”s young disciple was too adorable, like a tender and white dumpling. “Master, it wouldn’t be a problem to take your disciple with us.”

Unable to refuse his disciple’s pleading eyes, the master abbot patted the young monk’s head, “Let’s go.”

The group headed towards the palace.

Imperial Palace.

Thinking that the emperor wanted to discuss state affairs with the master abbot, Eunuch Li Fei took the young monk to the East Palace, where the crown prince lived, to let the children play together.

There was only the young crown prince in the palace. Seeing the young monk, who was not much older than himself, he felt a strong sense of kinship.

Eunuch Li Fei asked respectfully, “Your Highness, could you take the young master to play for a while?”

“Sure.” The crown prince happily agreed. Then, he waved his little hand at Eunuch Li Fei. “Go ahead.”

“Yes.” Eunuch Li Fei turned and walked away. He stopped about ten meters away to see if the children could get along well before he left.

The young monk sized up the young prince, dressed in yellow royal attire with beautiful patterns embroidered on it, long eyelashes, black and round eyes, even fairer than himself, “Are you the crown prince?”

The young prince’s eyes rolled around, “I am.” He reached out to touch the young monk’s head, “Where is your hair?”

The young monk also touched his head, shaking it helplessly, “1 don’t have hair.”

The young prince’s eyes widened in disbelief, like black gems fixating on the young monk’s head, “How is that possible? Everyone has hair.”

The young monk insisted, “Anyway, I don’t.”

The two children engaged in a serious and profound discussion about hair and then went together to eat the pastries brought by the palace maids.

Imperial Hospital.

Chu Qingning looked at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital, asking nervously, “Won’t there be any trouble for taking me into the Imperial Hospital?”

Yuan Hongjun said confidently, “No, we’ve already arranged everything.”

Bao Linjiang also said confidently, “Don’t worry, we wouldn’t bring you here if there were going to be problems.”

Chu Qingning saw that the two of them were so certain and believed their words. “Then let’s go in.”

The people in the Imperial Hospital didn’t stop them when they saw Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang bringing someone in, and let the trio enter directly.

Yuan Hongjun said, “We’ll give you a good tour shortly.”

Chu Qingning looked around curiously and nodded, “Hongjun, Linjiang, thank you.”

As someone studying medicine, visiting the Imperial Hospital was a fulfillment of her medical career.

The three began their tour starting from the main hall…

Just a short while into the tour, both the chief and the deputy chief of the hospital received the news and hurried over. The two, usually at odds with each other, entered the main hall and, seeing each other, snorted disdainfully before each went to educate their respective grandchildren.

Yuan Zheng the chief brought Yuan Hongjun to the side, reprimanding, “Hongjun, why did you bring outsiders to the Imperial Hospital?”

Yuan Hongjun said softly, “Grandfather, she is not an outsider. She is Master’s fourth sister, Chu Qingning, who also studies medicine. Moreover, she is talented. It would be a pity not to see the Imperial Hospital now that she’s in the capital.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yuan Zheng’s attitude changed completely. “Oh, your master’s sister. Then show her around. I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”

Yuan Hongjun smiled secretly. “Grandpa, go do your work.”

Meanwhile, the deputy chief was also reprimanding Bao Linjiang, “What’s the matter with you? Don’t you know the rules? Bringing outsiders in, what if something happens?”

Bao Linjiang moved closer to the deputy chief, “Grandfather, her name is Chu Qingning, my Master’s fourth sister.”

“Oh, the fourth sister.” The deputy chief decided to turn a blind eye, “Be careful with the things in the Imperial Hospital. Show her around.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

Chu Qingning stood awkwardly to one side, secretly wondering if she had caused trouble for the two.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang quickly returned.

Yuan Hongjun said, “Qingning, it’s alright. Let’s continue our tour.” He lowered his voice. “I’ll show you some books from the Imperial Hospital later.”

Chu Qingning glanced at the departing figures of the two chiefs. She said gratefully, “Sorry to trouble you.”

Bao Linjiang shook his head. “Why are you being so polite with us? Let’s go.”

“Ok..”
