After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"No, I can't afford it!"

The ignorant Dai refused outright, shaking her head like a rattle, and almost made her father laugh when she spoke.

"Ma Dazhuang is a big eater. I don't want to raise a thousand more Ma Dazhuangs. The princess doesn't have any surplus food. No, I'll give them all to you."

"........."

The emperor looked at this annoying thing that only recognized money but didn't know the value of things. After a long while, he could only sigh helplessly.

This is probably because no one has the guts to explain to her the value of a Ferghana horse, otherwise no one would be able to keep a single hair! The emperor was really helpless with this silly daughter.

"Xiao Qi, it's not that your father doesn't want you to earn this money. It's just that you don't have the ability to participate in the competition! Your father is the emperor of a country after all, and he should have some face in front of the people of the world.

At present, everyone has signed a treaty of peaceful coexistence, and is not ready to fight a war. Then this small competition is just a competition between countries. Do you understand?"

"not understand."

The honest child scratched her head and didn't understand what her father said, but her desire to make money was particularly strong, so she strolled up to her old father, folded her hands and squatted down.

"Father, please say it again. If you speak more clearly, I can understand it. I am very smart!"

She is indeed much smarter than before. She knows to come and discuss things with me instead of rushing out and causing trouble. The emperor felt comforted.

He reached out his hand with a loving look and smoothed her hair.

"Xiao Qi, father knows that you have grown up and are now obedient and smart. But you can still be better and more powerful, right?"

"Yes! So I can participate in the competition, and I want the 300,000 taels of gold!"

“…Since you want to compete so much, then father will test you.

This time, the national competition is divided into two groups, men and women, and there are many things to compete. Let's not talk about the men's side for now, let me first tell you about the women's competition, right?"

"You said it, I'm listening!"

Dai was in high spirits, and her father also took a rare break from his busy schedule to play with his daughter.

"Can you play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting?"

"…Pass."

"Poetry, wine, flower tea?"

"………Pass."

"Women embroidering?"

"…………"

The emperor smiled and tapped her forehead.

"I can't let you compete with others in horseback riding and archery, can I? The key is that you are not good at it..."

“I can do this!”

Dai's eyes lit up, and she slapped her father's arm with her left hand, causing the emperor to shiver in pain.

"Father, I can do this. I will compete with them in this! I run much faster than Ma Dazhuang. Don't worry, I will definitely win!"

“Hiss~~”

The emperor quietly reached out and rubbed his arm that was hurt by the slap. Fortunately, all the palace servants were sent away. Otherwise, the matter of hurting the emperor's body could be a big deal, and there would definitely be chaos again.

"Listen to what I have to say!

Horseback archery belongs to the second category of chariot shooting among the six arts of a gentleman. It has nothing to do with how fast you run, but it has to do with how fast and steady the horse under you runs.

Not only do you have to be able to ride a horse, you also have to be an excellent horseman, and you have to be able to show off your skills on horseback while shooting arrows to win the first place. Can you do it?"

"........."

Chu Daidai picked at his nails and suggested in a low voice.

"Then I'll beat them all down, and I'll be the only one left, okay?"

"What do you think? Xiao Qi, are you going to go up and rob without any moral principles?"

It is wrong to steal things. An An had taught Chu Chi this from the beginning. As a qualified civilized person, Chu Chi would certainly not do this. But so much gold just flew past her eyes so unreasonably. She felt so hurt! She probably would never forgive herself in this life...

The father and daughter looked at each other in silence. The frustration on the naughty child's face was so obvious that her biased old father finally spoke up with a heartbroken look on his face.

Not only did she give all the birthday gifts she received on the Wanshou Festival to the Rongchang Princess's residence, she also wrote her an IOU, promising that the next Wanshou Festival gifts would also be compensation for her, and only then did she coax the aggrieved child away.

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

The competition is in full swing.

In the first round of piano competition, Dasheng won the first prize.

It is worthy of being the place with the most flourishing literary style. Just pick out a noble lady and write a poem "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" and it will instantly win the whole audience.

In the second round of chess competition, the noble lady from the Yuan Dynasty, who was not very good at these, was eliminated early. However, the noble lady from the Great Qi Dynasty managed to win by half a piece.

"You win, I am no match for you."

He was quite straightforward and accepted defeat calmly.

"It was just luck. Thanks for letting me do that!"

The beautiful Song Xiangsi, just sitting there alone, was as beautiful as a painting, not to mention that she also had such superb chess skills, which immediately fascinated many people.

"Pretty sister!"

As soon as the opponent left the field, Chu Daidai and his group of friends surrounded him.

"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness Princess Rongchang."

Song Xiangsi turned around to salute, and someone grabbed her wrist.

"Yes, I have. Let me introduce you to a few people you haven't met. This is my eldest sister, my third sister, my fourth sister, and my fifth sister. This is Qingyun, this is Xiaojiu, and this is Xiaoliuliu..."

Fortunately, Song Xiangsi was well-informed in the capital, so she could identify all the people. If it were someone who was not so well-informed, he would definitely be confused by Princess Rongchang's introduction.

After both parties greeted each other, Princess Fukang happily threw her handkerchief over her lips and laughed.

"As expected of the most beautiful lady in the capital, Song's daughter is extraordinary in every move! Hahaha, look at how she just beat them to a pulp. It's really satisfying!"

The most important thing is that they directly won back a game. As the host, Da Qi lost the first game decently, which was somewhat embarrassing. Fortunately, the Song family girl won the game, which made Da Qi look much better.

Song Xiangsi lowered her eyebrows and smiled, showing her unparalleled elegance.

"Your Highness Princess Fukang, you are too kind to me. I am so ashamed to accept your compliments. It was all just luck. The noble lady from Dasheng was indeed very powerful!"

"Miss Song, there is no need to be modest. We all knew your talent and reputation."

Princess Jinghe also praised out loud, with a look of emotion in her eyes.

Such a beautiful, insightful and multi-talented girl, if she had not been deceived by her stepmother and lost her reputation, I think she would have been able to become an imperial concubine. What a pity!

The princesses looked at each other, and probably all felt the same sigh in their hearts.

If this wasn't about state affairs, Song Xiangsi might never have a chance to make a name for herself. Fortunately, her chess skills are well known, which allowed her to carve out a path for herself. Fortunately!

Chu Chi didn’t understand so many things, he was just happy to see the beauty again.

"Beautiful sister, why didn't you come to play with me?"

"Your Highness, I have just returned home after a long absence and have not yet packed my things. That is why I have not been to the Princess's residence to express my gratitude. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."
