However, everyone knew the Emperor's temper. He was extremely obedient and pampered Princess Anfu. Since he had already promised Princess Anfu, it would not be easy for them to stop him.
They looked at each other in dismay, communicating with each other through their eyes. None of them were foolish enough to step forward and touch the bad luck.
Just now, the Emperor had already flown into a rage. If Princess Anfu hadn't come over, it was hard to say who he would punish. At this time, the Emperor's mood was still good, but he hadn't vented his anger yet. If anyone dared to disobey him, it was guaranteed that they would have to bear the thunderous rage that he had accumulated earlier.
In the end, no one dared to persuade him. They could only watch as Zhao Yancheng gave the decree to the Ministry of Rites. At noon tomorrow, there would be a competition outside Chengyang Gate. Princess Anfu would challenge Da Kun's Eighteenth Prince, Meng Guangzhao.
Everyone sighed helplessly.
Since the emperor had already issued the decree, there was no point in saying anything more. They could only watch helplessly. This time, Princess Anfu had lost a lot of face. No one knew what would happen next, but fortunately, she was only a woman. Even if she lost, it didn't matter.
Princess Anfu came to Ruyi Temple lightly and saw Chu Li transplanting trees in the temple. After three days, it had changed greatly. The entire Ruyi Temple was fresher and more pleasant.
The outside of Ruyi Temple and the inside seemed to be two different worlds.
Stepping out of the Ruyi Temple, it was bustling with noise and bustle. There was an endless stream of horses and carriages, children shouting and scolding, adults scolding, the sound of people haggling, and the laughter of friends meeting.
Once inside Ruyi Temple, the clamor outside disappeared as if it was isolated from the world. It was deep in the mountains and forests. The air was fresh and pleasant. Smelling it refreshed one's spirit. The birds on the old trees chirped occasionally. One's heart calmed down. All worldly matters disappeared and worries disappeared.
"Master." She came to Chu Li's side and smiled. "I'm out."
Chu Li sized her up and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. You've grown up. Are you ready to fight Meng Guangzhao?"
"Yes." Princess Anfu said hatefully. "If we don't defeat him, our Yu Dynasty will lose all face. Those guys are so disappointing. None of them can defeat Meng Guangzhao!"
Chu Li smiled. "Meng Guangzhao is really capable."
"Can I really defeat him?" Princess Anfu asked.
Chu Li nodded. "You will."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away.
Princess Anfu followed him to Chu Li's small courtyard. She watched him enter the living room, then took out a jade pendant and handed it to her.
"Master, this is …?" Princess Anfu asked.
Chu Li said, "This is a protective talisman. Keep it safe and don't give it to anyone."
"Don't worry, Master. How could I give something that Master gave to me to someone else?" Princess Anfu hurriedly nodded and carefully received the jade pendant. She felt a cool and refreshing aura drilling into her palm and circling around her body. Her body immediately felt lighter.
She immediately knew that it was a treasure and became even more excited. "Master, is this a treasure?"
Chu Li nodded. "It's a unique treasure."
"Hehe, thank you, Master!" Princess Anfu placed it in front of her eyes and sized it up for a while. Then, she beamed with joy and tied it around her neck. She felt a refreshing aura everywhere, and then the surrounding spiritual energy began to enter through her pores.
"Go." Chu Li said, "Defeat him, but don't kill him, lest it causes a conflict between the two countries!"
"Yes!" Princess Anfu said loudly.
She turned around and strode out of the Compliance Temple.
When she walked out of the temple, she suddenly felt something strange. There was still spiritual energy entering through her pores.
Originally, when she stepped out of the Compliance Temple, the spiritual energy would no longer recognize her and would no longer enter her body. However, this time, it still entered. This spiritual energy would be converted into inner energy and continuously provide her with strength.
She was overjoyed and looked down at her neck. She knew that this was because of the jade pendant.
She immediately became a hundred times more confident. With the continuous support of inner energy, it was impossible for her to fail.

Noon.
There was a huge martial arts field outside Chengyang Gate. At the northernmost part of the field was a high platform used to inspect the soldiers. Usually, the Emperor's martial arts field was at Chengyang Gate's martial arts field.
At this time, the martial arts field was already overcrowded. Under the densely packed crowd, whispers formed a buzzing sound. Near the high platform, many high-ranking officials dressed in cloth clothes stood, and behind them were densely packed Protectors.
Zhao Yancheng and Princess Anfu stood by the stairs leading to the high platform with a solemn expression.
Gu Yuanhe stood beside them and occasionally raised his head to look into the distance.
"This Meng Guangzhao, how dare he!" Song Kun said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this subject will go and urge him."
"No need!" Zhao Yancheng said coldly.
His expression was gloomy, and his eyes were cold. He snorted and said, "Anfu, can you defeat him?"
"Don't worry, Imperial Father." Princess Anfu's beautiful face was tense as she snorted and said, "This Meng Guangzhao is purposely trying to damage our dignity!"
"Then treat him well later and let him have a taste of our Yu the Great's passion!" Zhao Yancheng said coldly through gritted teeth.
The buzzing sound outside was endless, but the high-ranking officials near the martial arts field were as silent as cicadas in winter. They did not say a word, and the atmosphere was oppressive. They could all feel the Emperor Zhao Yancheng's anger.
They secretly scolded this Meng Guangzhao for being too arrogant and treating the entire Yu the Great as nothing.
"The Eighteenth Prince of Da Kun has arrived!" A long shout suddenly sounded.
The voice was like a bronze bell, and it reverberated throughout the martial arts field.
The buzzing sound slowly dissipated, and the crowd automatically opened up a path. Eight well-built guards walked in front, gently fanning the white jade folding fan in their hands. Meng Guangzhao, dressed in blue, with a handsome smile on his face, walked behind them. He was as elegant as a noble young master, and behind him, there were eight more guards following closely.
Surrounded by 16 guards, Meng Guangzhao leisurely walked to the steps of the high platform. He closed his folding fan and cupped his fists with a smile. "Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness!"
Zhao Yancheng nodded with a dark face and could not be bothered to respond.
Although he was filled with anger, if he reprimanded them so bluntly, he would lose his magnanimous bearing, especially in front of the Great Kun Prince. Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and look at them coldly.
He wanted Anfu to help him vent his anger!
Princess Anfu snorted and said, "Stop dilly-dallying. As a man, you are more troublesome than a woman. Hurry up and go up!"
"Your Highness, do you really want to compete with me?" Meng Guangzhao smiled and said, "I am a man who has tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex!"
"Stop?? Gather? Govern?
Take care of 9? Knock on the rotten bones of the barbarians and arrogant? Die? Huo Huo Huo
Meng Guangzhao squinted his eyes and looked at her deeply. "Alright, let's learn from each other."
He leaped up the steps and onto the platform in two steps. His movements were smooth and graceful, and he was like a sparrow hawk flying up.
Princess Anfu curled her red lips and tapped the ground with the tip of her toes. Her body was like a white crane, and she flew up into the sky. She was three meters above the platform and landed lightly on the ground. She was silent like a feather.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they cheered loudly.
They had never seen such a Qinggong that defied common sense. It was as if there was an invisible rope hanging from above, but there was no rope. They could not imagine how he did it.
