Chapter Fifty-Eight: This princess knows that you people in
s just excessive praise from the world. Seeing him today, Rong Yue's aura was truly unfathomable and profound.Out of courtesy, Su Ziyix and Rong Yue inevitably had to exchange a few polite words. But...“You Don’t even bother! You'll just embarrass yourself later. How could you possibly jump better than Sister” Lan Feiyu was furious at Su Qingying for insulting Lan Xin Yao earlier, and seized this opportunity to sarcastically mock her.
"Not bad! It's me!" Su Qingying nonchalantly warmed up her legs, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her gaze swept across the crowd, a hint of cunning flickering at the corner of her mouth. "A mere competition would be a bit boring, wouldn't it Why don't we play a game instead Let's bet on who between me and Lan Xinyao will win. My imperial brother can act as the banker, and everyone is welcome to place their bets."
"Gambling openly, do you think this is what place It's unbecoming of a princess!" Zhao Tianqi was extremely disgusted with her now, believing that if it weren't for Su Qingying, their Nanjiang Country wouldn't be so disgraced!
"Neither, neither. It's just a little gambling for fun." Su Qingying narrowed her phoenix eyes, rubbing her nonexistent beard with a sly grin, and gave Zhao Tianqi a calculating look. "Could it be that the Prince of Nanjiang is angry because he doesn't have money to bet Oh, I understand, you are all too poor in Jinling. How pitiful."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Tianqi's face darkened. Especially hearing the faint laughter from around him, his face turned even darker with anger.
To prove that they weren't impoverished in Jinling, he gritted his teeth and offered a hefty sum, "This palace will wager five thousand taels on Miss Lan's victory."
"I thought this would silence Su Qingying's mouth, but I didn't expect that her gaze at me first showed surprise, then a hint of pity. "Oh, five thousand taels of silver should be the largest amount that the Nanjiang Kingdom can offer. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you, after all, poverty is not your fault. I understand you, really!"
He said he wasn't mocking him, but Zhao Tianqi saw the look in her eyes, like a beggar who hadn't eaten in days. He was so angry his teeth were chattering.
Just then, Jun Liye's languid yet magnetic voice slowly interjected, nearly causing Zhao Tianqi to faint in anger, "This king bets one hundred thousand taels of gold on Dong Yue Fifth Princess' victory. If the Southern Border Prince is too poor, this king can lend you some."
Su Qingying's mouth twitched, almost laughing out loud.
This Jun Li Ye is simply a divine counter-attacker! A cunning and ruthless emperor!
Su Qingying silently lit a candle for Zhao Tianqi, who was poor and wanted to borrow money, in her heart. However, this demon was truly wealthy, with ten thousand taels of gold!
He could feel a certain woman's gaze suddenly become extremely intense. Jun Liye's eyes twitched, and he didn't need to think to know what she was up to. A feeling of wry amusement instantly arose in his heart.
Even though he had managed to lower his blood pressure, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen still felt the muscles on his face twitch uncontrollably. He glanced at Zhao Tian Qi with a look of immense sympathy.
It was great that someone finally helped redirect her attention, taking his place. Now he didn't have to be the target of her anger anymore.
It feels so good, so good, to see others suffer.
This time, it was everyone's turn to mourn for Zhao Tianqi in silence.
"Hmph, this palace bets thirty thousand taels of gold on the little girl winning. Prince of Nanjiang, this palace has nothing else, but I have silver. This palace is always generous when lending money, don't be shy!" Shangguan Jinghong shook his jade bone fan and smiled cheekily, Zhao Tianqi was now considered a poor ghost by them.
Zhao Tianqi was choked and couldn't speak, his face turned red with anger. It seemed as if everyone could see arrows piercing him, and Shangguan Jinghong's words struck him right in the heart!handsome face instantly turned pale. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he warned in a cold voice: "Hmph, you better behave yourself!""What's wrong Brother, do you have a grudge against each othe...
