The Flower Of War

Chapter 31: Violating the Rules

"This lowly servant is the servant of Her Highness Princess Ying and I witnessed for myself how Princess Ying trained so skillfully in swordplay and also all the arrows shot from her bow did not never once missed Your Majesty's target, .. forgive me if I was sassy but Her Highness Princess Ying once told me if she wanted to join this archery competition."

What's?! Hey I never said that! Where did you write this story hm?! ... Ahh maybe you've never been and want to feel my death blow!!!

The Emperor seemed to be fondling Chichi's words, a split second interval Prince Huang spoke, "Maybe what this servant said is true Father, is, all has been proven by the series of events that occurred a few months ago, especially the Tian Lu attack, I hope that my father allows Princess Ying to participate as a form of respect and dignity."

The empress then spoke up after only being a listener without any intention of commenting, after recovering from the trauma of the Tian Lu attack the Empress appeared more reserved than usual and often seemed to be daydreaming, "But this match was specifically for men not women after all A-Ying was a Royal Princess how could a Princess against a Prince be so unfair!"

Chichi immediately replied and spoke in a confident tone with his head still always bowed respectfully, "The official requirement is not written that the representative of this race must be a man or Prince, Your Majesty."

Instant silence ...

"Allah ... Princess Ying be prepared for you to replace General Rong." Emperor Wang had already issued his absolute order to Yiu who was half in shock after hearing his edict.

Yiu quickly regained his shock and tried to evade his father's words, "But Father .. There is no way I wear this type of clothing to compete"

"I've prepared clothes that are suitable for you to wear, Princess," Chichi softly replied Yiu.

The emperor who heard him glanced at Chichi slightly from the corner of his eyes before turning to look at Yiu, "So?"

Feeling that there was no other way to dodge, Yiu resignedly nodded and stood up before stepping away to change clothes.

While passing through the quiet hallway on the way to his room, Yiu who was walking in front of Chichi suddenly stopped his steps and quickly turned around grabbing both of Chichi's shoulders and cornering him against the wall.

"What does all this mean!" beik Yiu stared intently at Chichi who seemed to show no fear or expression but still smiled sweetly.

"I'm just helping the princess to win the annual race of your talents, Princess."

After a few seconds of digesting Chichi's words, Yiu realized that the other day Chichi had planned this so that he could at least still win an annual match.

"So, what made General Rong accidentally eat an egg was you?"

"That's right, Princess."

"But how could someone like General Rong who is arguably not a careless person and is fairly meticulous in the slightest matter including in terms of eating his food can eat foods that make him allergic?"

"You know best, Princess, actually the egg that General Rong ate was mixed with the Princess' allergy-inducing potion." Chichi's expression was still with a smiling face like he felt sinless when he said it.

"Are you crazy?! He could die you know!"

"You take it easy Princess, I mix the ingredients very little according to the direction of the Princess first."

It is true that Yiu once made a potion that will cause itching and heat throughout the body like someone who is allergic to something and the herb he gave to Chichi if he at any timetime to face problems.

"I know this is wrong but believe me my daughter just doesn't want to see you continue to be underestimated by them."

Yiu paused for a moment and then slowly let go of his grip on Chichi's boat and exhaled a coarse breath, "Alright .. thanks .. yahh let's change clothes now as soon as possible."

"Well, Princess!"

It didn't take long for Yiu to change from a super-long female hanfu to a warrior-style fighting outfit with some hair on the front rolled simple with her hairpick on the back a bit off blocking the view when fighting later and the hair on the back is left unraveled.

Right after Yiu entered the entrance of the spacious courtyard where the match was held, there was a gong sound that echoed very loudly in the air, the sound of the gong signaling the match was soon to begin.

Yiu rushed through the tower directly connected to where the nobles saw the course of the match and went down the stairs then joined his two brothers who were already waiting for the match area.

From the moment Yiu set his foot at the entrance of the arena and ran towards the courtyard almost all pairs of eyes ranging from the participating Emperor and Royal Empress to the maids staring at him with faces that were difficult to explain but that did not apply to the two jade from Qiu Wang who instead displayed a flat face look almost twisting their lazy eyes.

Instantly the originally quiet atmosphere turned into a bustling buzz filled with whispers from the tower which were all nobles present at the match event.

Yiu walked quickly but also looked leisurely heading to where his two brothers stood with a dozen troops lined up neatly behind him, he did not seem to care at all about the question mark full view of every pair of eyes around him that were fixed on him.

"How does the Prince look suitable to me?" Yiu spoke while smiling happily looking at her two brothers who were now staring at her full of question marks.

"Aahh is perfect! Looks like a ruthless female warrior! Fits!" Prince Huang replied with a smile while lightly clapping his hands and leaning towards Yiu then blinking one eye.

"Did you say ha?!" Yiu subconsciously raised his voice and raised his index finger towards Prince Huang.

Realizing his wrongdoing and noticing the sharp gaze from Prince Xiao Ce, Yiu immediately lowered his hand and bowed his head, "I'm sorry."

Not yet had Prince Huang wanted to reply to Yiu's words, two Princes dressed in golden yellow and white as white as clouds from the western region approached the three of them and bowed in greeting.

The prince dressed in golden yellow seemed to sparkle in the sunlight with a wide smile and a friendly face look also a little talkative plastered clearly on his face while for the prince dressed in white beside him seemed to have the opposite nature to the nature of the prince dressed in golden yellow.

The white-clothed prince was at first glance reserved and talkative, his gaze sharp but heart-shattering, his face as white as jade and his nature was like flowing water.

A Prince dressed in golden yellow spoke in a friendly tone not forgetting with a faint smile emanating on his snow-white face.

"Tell us." Prince Huang retorted slightly bowing his body with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"This young lady is going to compete with you? Ah sorry if I was presumptuous but I just asked no other meaning."

Yiu heard Prince Lin Yang's question not reacting at all, he glanced towards his two brothers with a cold countenance.

"She is the only Princess in Qiu Wang Kingdom, Princess Ying and she will represent Qiu Wang Kingdom in this match"

Prince Huang replied resolutely but casually without hesitation with the unchanging body position from before.

"Is the Prince joking?" The two Princes were seen frowning and then looking at each other.

"Did my face ever look like I was playing?" said Prince Huang with a slight tone of speech and Yiu who raised his eyebrows.

No matter Prince Xiao Ce, he was completely uninterested in their conversation and preferred to turn his eyes the other way.

Lin Yang, "It's not so, Prince, but doesn't your Kingdom have enough blood of noble descendants who are quite adept at this kind of fight?"

Prince Huang, "Yahh I think that among them all Princess Ying is the best."

"Your choices are never wrong, Prince." Prince Lin Yang reviewed a thin smile, stopped asking further and decided to switch the subject towards archery techniques.

Yiu simply watched in silence the conversation between Prince Huang and Prince Lin Yang and if needed then Prince Ming ZiJing would also join in their conversation.

A silver-robed man with a sword in his left hand cried out loudly then cupped his hands together and bowed.

"Consider everything! I am Meng Yao Imperial War General Xiang Feng. To all representatives of the Kingdom are welcome to position themselves on the edge of the arena because the archery match will begin soon."

Yiu and his two brothers and the two princes immediately headed to the edge of the arena and lined up neatly there.

"Well before we start the match do the royal representatives have anything to ask?"

Hearing that, Yiu somehow felt her hair sitting up feeling the whole look on her.

"I want to ask!" A man in dark green clothes spoke loudly at the side of the arena and was greeted by a friendly nod from General Meng Yao.

"Was this game a woman allowed to attend? Isn't that against the terms?"

The entire corner of the courtyard suddenly became silent for a moment and the entire pair of eyes stared at the dark green-clothed Prince. But it became crowded in a few moments after a royal representative also supported the speech of the prince dressed in dark green followed by whispers from the soldiers and other nobles.

"That's right! How could a woman possibly use a weapon is impossible!"

"Right, women should be good at music and embroidery! Instead of playing weapons, they were too meek so how could they?!"

"Maybe the Princess was just joking."

"He may be mentally ill."

Yiu desperately held back the growing anger hearing the whole oblique look about him.

"Enough! You can all insult me but I can't accept the humiliation of how weak women are!" Yiu's words made some male nobles speechless pondering but still not a few who even more scornful.

"Look at his brain maybe he's already had a very pity problem."

"Omong empty haha."

"ENOUGH!!"

Amidst the chaos, Emperor Feng Lan only uttered a word firmly but managed to make everyone speechless without exception, "Why should a Princess not take part in an archery and sword match? It is written only that each kingdom should only send its three best representatives and it is not written whether it should be a man or a woman then what is the problem? As long as they have the ability they are allowed to compete!"

Many of the princes who initially wanted to oppose back out of their intentions and chose silence. Not long after General Meng Yao returned to voice.

"Are there any more complaints? All right, let's start the first archery match. Prince Lin Yun of Hua Lin against Princess Ying of Qiu Wang."
