Chapter 236: Counterattack

"Qi Yun." The emperor's face darkened, and his good temper finally ran out, "Are you questioning the eldest princess's actions?"

Qi Yun's face turned pale: "I don't dare."

"Your Majesty, forgive me." King Zhenbei apologized quickly, "Qi Yun was outspoken and did not mean to offend the eldest princess. Please be aware of this, Your Majesty."

"The eldest brother is not questioning the eldest princess, but thinks that I am of low status and not qualified to enter the military camp." Qi Ling said calmly, "But this may be a misunderstanding by the eldest brother. After the eldest princess was poisoned, she rested in the mansion for several days. Your Highness will go on patrol to see if the Silver Armor Army is slacking off during their routine drills. They haven't done anything they shouldn't have done, and they won't rely on His Highness's influence to form gangs in the military camp and do whatever they want. Brother, don't do too much. concern."

"Speaking of Qi Ling, I have a request." Chu Qinghuang raised his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor sitting behind the case, "Qi Ling is good at martial arts and is quite proficient in riding and archery sword formations. I think he had a lot of them at home before. After working hard, I firmly believe that my talents cannot be wasted. I want Qi Ling to serve as the temporary left general of the Silver Armor Army, and I hope that my father will give me permission."

What?

Everyone was shocked.

Let the Prince of Zhenbei's concubine and the eldest princess' male favorite be General Zuo?

Absolutely ridiculous!

Chu Tianyin was the first to object: "Father, this is absolutely impossible—"

"I remember that on the last birthday of the Queen Mother, the Third Emperor went crazy for no reason at the family banquet. My father ordered you to stay in the mansion and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You are not allowed to go out without permission." Chu Qinghuang looked at Chu Tianyin coldly, "Three Emperors Is the emperor's appearance here today a blatant rebellion?"

Chu Tianyin's face turned pale and he looked at the emperor anxiously: "Father, are there any sons or ministers?"

"It's true that I didn't summon you." The emperor frowned and looked at him displeased, "Go back to your prince's palace and don't enter the palace again for the next two days."

Chu Tianyin's expression froze, and his face suddenly turned blue and white. He hated Chu Qinghuang in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face at all, and he only clenched his hands tightly.

Chu Qinghuang, just wait for me!

I want to see how long you can be arrogant.

"...I take my leave." He bowed stiffly, took a few steps back stiffly, turned around stiffly, opened the door and walked out. Chu Tianyin left slumped like a defeated rooster.

Seeing this, the other ministers silently swallowed back what they wanted to say.

The third prince is no match for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, what else can these ministers say?

"Qi Ling." The emperor's eyes fell on the five attendants behind Chu Qinghuang, and finally looked at Qi Ling, "Step forward."

Qi Ling, dressed in white, came out, bowed and said: "Young man Qi Ling, please see the Emperor."

The emperor frowned.

Although Qi Ling was a concubine, one of the two sons of King Zhenbei called himself a "chen" and the other a "little man" in front of him. The difference was really huge.

"Are you good at riding and shooting?"

Qi Ling said in a humble tone: "Reporting to your Majesty, I know a thing or two, but I dare not say that I am good at it."

Rather humble.

The emperor had a better impression of him and asked calmly: "How does it compare with your brother?"

this……

Qi Yun's expression changed slightly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Qi Yun is a legitimate son. I have carefully taught him martial arts and military skills, just so that he can better protect his family and country and be loyal to the Emperor in the future." King Zhenbei said following the trend, "Qi Ling is a bastard, and he is more capable than Qi Yun is slightly inferior."

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "If my father wants to know the difference between the two of them, how about letting the two brothers compete?"

King Zhenbei's expression changed slightly.

Have a test?

Qi Yun felt guilty and couldn't help but look troubled: "I'm not feeling well today..."

"Hongyu just accidentally hit you on the head, it shouldn't affect your hands and feet." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Is it possible that Mr. Qi doesn't dare to compete?"

Qi Yun gritted his teeth and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is joking..."

"Then let's compete." Chu Qinghuang's tone was strong and there was no room for him to shirk. "Compete outside. If you feel that the place is not big enough and you can't use your skills, you can borrow the training ground where the Imperial Army trains."

Qi Yun's face gradually stiffened.

"Qi Ling." Chu Qinghuang's eyes fell on Qi Ling's face, "If you dare to disgrace me, I will reward you with a hundred whips when you go back tonight."

Qi Ling lowered his head: "Yes."

King Zhenbei frowned: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, are you deliberately making things difficult for him?"

"Who is embarrassing?" Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Qi Ling is a member of my palace. If he loses, it will be my palace's face. If I embarrass him, he is embarrassing himself. King Zhenbei does not have to do it for his sake. The palace is worried."

King Zhenbei's face darkened slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

How dare this young girl dare to deliberately go against him?

"If Qi Yun is unwilling to compete with Qi Ling and just admits defeat, I can accept it." Chu Qinghuang said, "He is just a man who lost without fighting. I don't think he is qualified to succeed to the title of prince and military power. Border Pass The city bears the important responsibility of protecting the country and the power cannot fall on an incompetent idiot. "

As soon as these words came out, the King of Zhenbei was completely angered: "Qi Yun is the legitimate son of the minister. He has studied martial arts and military techniques carefully and practiced hard for several years. Moreover, the father and son of the minister are loyal to the emperor and have never had any different intentions. Please Your Royal Highness, please be careful!"
