"Ma, it's not that I like the second prince.”Zhao Min explained in a panic.
Prince Ruyang was expressionless.
As a father, he naturally understood his daughter's thoughts. From the moment Lin Yang finished painting that painting and gave it to Zhao Min, he knew that it was going to ruin things.
"Not the Second Prince? Could it be the Fourth Prince? Fifth Prince? No matter who you choose, you cannot choose that Crown Prince!”
Zhao Min's pretty face turned even paler.""Why?"
Prince Ruyang sighed and said," Minmin, marriage is not child's play, especially this marriage alliance. It is also very important to you. I have heard of that Crown Prince. He has been playful and lazy since he was young. He is ignorant and incompetent. Even now, he is still an ordinary person. He has no martial arts cultivation and can't even memorize a complete book. How can such a trash be a good match?”
"Moreover, the future Emperor of Chu will very likely pass the throne to the Second Prince. As the Crown Prince, can he survive the struggle for the throne? I heard that right now, there are many ministers of the Chu Country who have submitted memorials requesting the Emperor to abolish the Crown Prince and re-elect a capable Prince to become the future Crown Prince."
"Minmin, are you sure you want to choose such a good-for-nothing?”
Hearing her father criticize the Crown Prince's shortcomings and belittle him to the point of being useless, Zhao Min felt very uneasy.
This was the first time she had heard that the Crown Prince had so many misdeeds. What her father had described was completely a good-for-nothing with a pustule, and a good-for-nothing who was about to meet with misfortune. This was completely different from the calm and composed, talented young man she had seen in the Imperial Palace today. He was a completely different person.
"Ama, are you mistaken? The Crown Prince's paintings were so outstanding. Putting aside his poems, just his art was enough for him to become famous. How could it be that bad?”
There were no outsiders here. Zhao Min was also spoiled by Prince Ruyang. She had doubts in her heart and said it to refute her father.
Prince Ruyang frowned when he heard this. He was also very puzzled about this. The Crown Prince had such amazing painting skills and that poem was also very outstanding. Logically speaking, he should be a person with literary talent. How could he be so poor?
Prince Ruyang would never have thought that the current Crown Prince did not belong to this world.
"Ama didn't lie to you. You can easily find out what I'm talking about by asking around on the streets.”
Prince Ruyang continued," Minmin, even if that Crown Prince has extraordinary talent in poetry and painting, he still can't change his current situation. If you choose him, it's very likely that you won't have a good ending in the future. I definitely can't watch you jump into the fire pit. Only the Second Prince is a good match for you!”
"This isn't fair!"
Zhao Min was furious. She was not afraid to talk back to her father at all."Everything is still uncertain. How can you be so sure? Perhaps the Emperor would change his mind in the future!”
In fact, Zhao Min was not stupid. She was a rather smart woman. Among the many heroines, her intelligence was definitely at the top.
Of course, Zhao Min understood that her father was right. She only needed to pay a little attention to the Emperor's attitude toward the Second Prince in the Imperial Palace today to understand this.
However, Zhao Min was only sixteen years old now!
Girls of this age were immature and rebellious. They loved to fantasize and be romantic all day long. Girls at this age were also in the early stages of love. Once they had a good impression of a member of the opposite sex, it was really difficult for them to be rational.
When Prince Ruyang saw that his daughter actually contradicted him for an outsider, he was instantly furious, and his expression darkened. However, he really loved his daughter. Even if he was really angry, he could not bear to scold Zhao Min.
In addition, Prince Ruyang also understood that his daughter's temper was very similar to his own. They were both stubborn. Once they had set their minds on something, even a cow could not pull it back.
Prince Ruyang thought of a plan.
He felt that it was probably because the Crown Prince had performed too well in the Imperial Palace today and had completely stolen the limelight from the Second Prince that his daughter had fallen in love with him. Since that was the case, there would be another competition tomorrow to make the Crown Prince lose face in front of everyone. Presumably, his daughter's impression of the Crown Prince would also fall. At that time, it would be much easier to persuade his daughter.
Thinking of this, King Ruyang said," In that case, I will give the Crown Prince another chance. Tomorrow, I will propose to the Emperor of Chu to let the princes compete again. If he can win, I will not care about you. If he loses, you have to listen to me!”
Zhao Min was stunned and immediately asked with concern,"Compete in what?"
Prince Ruyang thought for a moment and directly said that there was a competition? Asking someone who didn't know martial arts to compete with an inner strength expert was too obvious a bullying. With his stubborn daughter, she definitely wouldn't agree. Moreover, this competition was not appropriate. After all, he, Prince Ruyang, was an outsider. Letting the crown prince and princes of his country compete and kill each other? It would make others think that you were harboring evil intentions.
If any prince had an accident during the competition, it would not be a small matter.
Since a martial arts competition was ruled out, then what other methods could prove the Second Prince's martial arts skills and suit the current situation?
Prince Ruyang then thought of horsemanship and archery.
As a Mongolian born in the grasslands, these two skills were a must.
However, Prince Ruyang did not know how good the princes 'horsemanship was. If they did not know how to ride a horse, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the princes to perform horsemanship in front of everyone?
This was the Chu Country, located in the Central Plains. Not everyone had to be skilled in horsemanship.
To be on the safe side, let's compete in archery!
Those who were truly good at archery had to have a certain amount of strength.
Prince Ruyang had heard that not only was the Second Prince's martial arts cultivation the best among the princes, but he was also a slightly famous archery expert.
"Let's compete in archery!"
Prince Ruyang said. He was also sighing in his heart. Second Prince, you owe me a big favor. I hope you can treat Min Min well in the future.
Zhao Min was not stupid. She immediately shouted and acted coquettishly,"I disagree! If you want to compete, let's compete in painting!"
Prince Ruyang's face darkened when he heard this, and he almost fell!
"I admit that the Crown Prince's painting skills have never been seen before and are indeed impressive. How can it be fair for you to let the other princes compete with the Crown Prince in painting skills?”
Zhao Min put her hands on her small waist and went against her father. She chattered,"I also heard that the Second Prince's archery skills are outstanding. Is it fair for you to let them compete in archery?”
Prince Ruyang blushed when he heard this.
Even a fool could see that the competition he proposed was biased towards the Second Prince. However, his daughter had exposed it so blatantly, making him feel a little embarrassed.
With a cold snort, Prince Ruyang also acted shamelessly."It's settled then!"
After saying this, Prince Ruyang left the room.
However, when he walked out of the room, Prince Ruyang heard his daughter cry in the room. His heart immediately ached and he stopped in his tracks.
My daughter, please believe in me for once. I'm doing this for your own good!
Thinking of this, Prince Ruyang gritted his teeth and left ruthlessly.
In the room.
Zhao Min pretended to cry while secretly paying attention to the movements outside. There was not a single tear in her beautiful big eyes. Zhao Min was furious when she heard her father's footsteps only pause for a moment before walking further and further away.
Damn Ama, you're not coaxing me anymore?
Although she was angry, the smart Zhao Min also realized that her father was probably serious this time. She could not help but be very worried.
After thinking anxiously for a while, Zhao Min took out a handkerchief and wrote a paragraph on it. Then, she ordered her confidant to send it to the Eastern Palace overnight!# Date:07 12 2019 7:00PM
