Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1162: There’s No Choice But to Fight

The Emperor hadn’t come for a long time, and the Empress Dowager urged the nanny: "Hurry and send someone to tell the Emperor that both Prince Xuan and Prince He are waiting."

The nanny hurriedly dispatched someone to continue the invitation.

Only then did the Empress Dowager retract her thoughts.

Her gaze swept across the assembly, immediately locking onto Chu Qianli.

This girl, though beautiful, has a far too wicked heart.

The earlier quarrel between Feiyan and Qianqian was instigated by this woman.

The Empress Dowager, having had many quiet years in the Harem, despised troublemakers the most.

The look she gave Chu Qianli turned even colder in an instant.

"Miss Chu, I have heard that you too are from Longteng Country?"

She had introduced herself as being from Longteng Country.

Chu Qianli smiled and said: "Indeed."

The Empress Dowager said coldly: "I’ve heard that the women of Longteng Country are equal in ability to men, and even now, it is an Empress who holds power in Longteng Country."

"Indeed, it is so."

"I wonder if Miss Chu possesses the same capabilities as the gentlemen present here?"

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, without giving her a chance to react, she immediately stated: "This humble one has a grandson who has enjoyed practicing with swords and spears since he was young, would Miss Chu be willing to offer some instructions?"

What?

The Empress Dowager actually wants someone to spar with the men at the banquet?

This... is putting someone in an awkward position!

Moreover, Chu Qianli came today, dressed in luxurious attire, how could she fight like this?

But it seemed the Empress Dowager had already made up her mind.

Seeing that Chu Qianli did not respond immediately, she smiled and said: "This humble one has long admired the women of Longteng Country, I merely wish to broaden my horizons, Miss Chu wouldn’t mind, would she?"

Equally, a girl from Longteng Country, the one in Prince Jing’s Residence, not only does she not create trouble, but she also saved Prince Jing’s life.

And this one before us, probably relying on her good looks, came to our Nanming and even intends to stir up troubles.

The Empress Dowager hated such enchanting women the most.

If she does not crack down on her arrogance today, the Empress Dowager won’t be able to swallow her pride.

"Miss Chu, you’re not saying that the women of Longteng Country, just like our ordinary women here, don’t possess any real skills and only know how to embroider and play the guqin, right?"

"If that’s really the case, then the Empress of Longteng Country..."

"Empress Dowager, how the maidens of Longteng Country are, certainly are not all the same; there are those who embroider and play the guqin at home, and there are those who are adept with swords and spears."

Chu Qianli stood up, her luxurious clothes making her look exceptionally dazzling and attractive.

But now, her expression was serious.

"However, the Empresses of Longteng Country have always been renowned commanders on the battlefield, this point requires no doubt from Your Grace, the Empress Dowager."

"Since that’s the case, won’t Miss Chu adequately demonstrate the prowess of Longteng Country’s women?"

The nanny knew, of course, that the Empress Dowager intended to make things difficult for Chu Qianli and to avenge Chu Feiyan.

All she could do was give a forced smile: "Miss Chu, I heard that you are also His Highness Prince Li of Longteng, do not disgrace the dignity of the Princes of Longteng!"

This meant if she didn’t fight, she would lose all the face of Longteng Country.

"May I inquire which warrior does the Empress Dowager wish for me to have a bout with?" Chu Qianli was quite gracious.

The Empress Dowager hesitated.

In fact, it was merely a fit of pique, and she did not truly despise the girl so much.

But, one must discharge a fit of pique when it arises.

Thus, after hesitating, the Empress Dowager said: "Our family’s Haohao has practiced martial arts since his youth and is deeply passionate about martial skills, perhaps Your Highness Prince Li would be willing to share a few pointers?"
