The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 311

[Chapter 311: Women Are As Good As Men]

Seeing that those people shut up and lowered their heads and dared not look at him, the unhappiness on Su Yu’s face disappeared a little.

Then he glanced at Yang Zhiqing, she and He Ziqi were close friends.

It was also for this reason that most of the noble ladies in the capital disdained to associate with Yang Zhiqing.

They always felt that playing with them would ruin their reputation.

Strictly speaking, Yang Zhiqing and He Ziqi should be sisters with the same suffering.

Seeing that Yang Zhiqing’s eyes were slightly red because of those people, and just happened to meet her eyes at this time, Su Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at her.

“Thank you for your help, Second Prince. I think everyone is joking. I will naturally not take it to heart.”

He Ziqi also stood up generously and saluted Su Yu from a distance, as a thank you for speaking for her.

But now in the hall, it would not be good for her to make a big fuss about this matter, so she chose to keep quiet.

Anyway, she didn’t intend to argue with these idiots, just fools living in their own world!

“If it’s inconvenient for Miss He to perform…”

“How can it be inconvenient? It’s very convenient! Today is a big day. How can a minister offend the emperor’s kindness, let alone spoil the fun!”

Su Yu wanted to give He Ziqi a step down, but he didn’t expect that when he was considering his words, He Ziqi agreed.

After that, she bowed to the emperor, looking like a free and easy general’s daughter.

“General He’s daughter, what you said makes sense!”

The emperor was originally a little unhappy watching this farce, and he was even more dissatisfied with He Ziqi.

But seeing her so generous and generous, and speaking very beautifully, the dissatisfaction in his heart was swept away.

As expected, she is the daughter of General He, and her upbringing is very good!

As for those people who just gossiped behind people’s backs, he will definitely check which officials’ families they came from afterwards. With

such lax upbringing, I guess her style of life won’t be very good!

Those who took advantage of the situation never thought that because of their words, the emperor would actually think of their father!

“I believe you all know that I don’t like to play with words, and I am not good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, so I can only show you a sword dance!”

In a few steps, He Ziqi stood up from her seat and came to the center of the hall.

Even though she was watched by so many people, she was not panicked at all, and her eyes were full of determination.

“Sword dance!”

“It’s still related to weapons!”

“Miss He can actually dance with a sword, I’m afraid she will hurt herself?”

As soon as He Ziqi finished speaking, those people immediately muttered in a low voice without long memory.

However, because of the previous lesson, they no longer dared to discuss loudly, but just lowered their heads and whispered.

Although she couldn’t hear what those people said, He Ziqi knew that it would definitely not be some nice words.

But she didn’t care about these at all.

After letting someone use an ordinary soft sword, He Ziqi immediately started a move.

All of a sudden, the feminine beauty turned into determination. It happened that she didn’t have a very complicated hairstyle today, just a simple ponytail with some decorations.

“Shua shua shua——”

The cuffs of her clothes were all tied tightly with silk threads. At first glance, it seemed a bit out of place, but after she really danced with the sword, everyone felt that she was heroic.

“It seems that Miss He is really talented!”

A son of an official exclaimed in a low voice.

All of them men have practiced martial arts to some extent.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts see the doorway.

People who don’t understand may only think that He Ziqi’s moves look a little handsome, but only they know that there is power in each move!

It seems that this person is really well-versed in martial arts!

“But she is just a woman, and her five spears and swords will not be of any use in the future, right?”

But there are still some people who don’t understand He Ziqi’s behavior.

However, these rumors had no effect on He Ziqi at all. The sword in her hand seemed to be alive, and her father’s shadow was hidden in her eyes.

After a performance, He Ziqi swung a sword flower neatly, and then respectfully placed the sword on the ground.

“The performance of your servant is over. Please forgive me for any offense.”

After the action was over, He Ziqi knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a firm tone.

Although her words were an apology, her spine was straight.

“What crime have you committed? Get up quickly!”

However, He Ziqi’s performance made the emperor very happy. He laughed a few times and raised his hand for He Ziqi to get up and answer.

He Ziqi naturally did not dare to disobey and stood up.

“You are worthy of being the daughter of General He. It is said that a tiger father will have a dog son. Today, I have also seen what it means that a tiger father will have a dog daughter! It is true that women are as good as men!”

The emperor polished the jade ring on his thumb with one hand while praising He Ziqi.

He Ziqi was just trying to prove herself, but she never thought that she would receive such high praise from the emperor. Even if she was calm, she was still a little stunned at this moment.

“Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty!”

After hesitating for a long time, He Ziqi couldn’t say any nice words, so she simply continued to salute the emperor and thanked him for his praise.

The emperor smiled even happier when he saw this, and after praising her a few more words, he let him go back and sit down.

After that, they also discussed some rare jewels.

He Ziqi naturally thanked him in a humble and dignified manner.

After that, they played a few more games of passing the flower by beating the drum. Although everyone’s performance was extremely wonderful, it was not as unexpected as He Ziqi’s.

After He Ziqi was helped by Su Yu, she would glance at Su Yu from time to time.

The two of them made eye contact several times.

However, He Ziqi did not think much about it. He just nodded to Su Yu, thinking whether to send some gifts to thank the second prince for his help.

“Your Majesty, Prince Anding…”

Just after a round of games, everyone lost interest and started to discuss other things.

However, at this time, a man who looked like a eunuch suddenly ran in, a little flustered.

“Why are you stuttering? Speak clearly!”

The emperor naturally heard the three words “Prince Anding”. Prince Anding did not come to today’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Everyone did not find it strange. After all, this person wanted to rebel. If he came, it would be a hell of a thing!

“Prince Anding sent someone to deliver gifts. He is waiting outside the palace now!”

The eunuch who reported was frightened for a long time before he calmed down and quickly finished the information.

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn’t help but skip a beat.
