As far as everyone is concerned.

The Regent King of Beichen had always been a figure of icy beauty, capable of bringing ruin to anyone with just one glance.

Even on ordinary days, if one accidentally met his gaze, they would be struck dumb by the coldness in his eyes and fall to their knees in submission.

But ever since Yun An'an appeared.

That man's eyes held a tenderness they had never seen before, a tenderness filled with indulgence...

It is a man's love for his beloved woman, so intense that he wants to give her all the good things in the world.

But this warmth belonged only to that woman from the downstairs family.

Actually, they never understood why Beichen Yi would marry Yun An'an. A woman who was abandoned by Han Qing, a poisonous woman, a promiscuous woman who had an affair with someone on her wedding day, and a woman who mistreated her stepsister and was disrespectful to her father.

Clearly, there are many virtuous and accomplished young ladies who would be more suitable to take the throne of the Regent Queen and become the mistress of Yiwu Palace.

"What did I say"

Yun'an, trapped in his arms, was a little confused. What illness had Beichen Yi caught this time She still needed to discipline that brat Aroye.

"You say, I am your husband."

"You're not my husband, are you my grandfather instead Let go first, I need to give her a good scolding."

Breaking free from Beichen Yi's embrace, Yun Annan leaped off the platform.

"Come on, Aner!"

Behind her, Bei Chen Yi cheered for Yun An An.

When his gaze lifted, the gentleness vanished, and he returned to his terrifyingly imposing form.

"If anything should happen to my beloved An'er, I wouldn't hesitate to lay waste to the entire northern desert."

"... "

"

"...""

Double standard

Totally hypocritical.

Even if one loves Yun An'an dearly, they shouldn't say something like "flatten the Northern Wastes" in public.

This leaves the delegation from Mobei and the princess sent as a sign of peace with no face.

Throughout the whole ordeal, from beginning to end, Beichenhan remained silent, standing tall on his platform.

Her phoenix eyes, lifted in a knowing arch, narrowed slightly as she observed the unfolding events before her. A dangerous smile danced within their depths.

"Your Majesty, is this really a good idea"

Li Gonggong stood anxiously by.

When it comes to the stability of the alliance between our two nations, can we really just let Princess Yi run rampant like this

"What's there to hesitate about If we win, the Northern Star Nation wins face. If we lose, the Regent will level the North."

Pursed her lips, her thin lips gently uttered a sentence. Beichen Han's smile in his eyes deepened by another point.

"It's been a while since I've seen General Han. Has he arrived"

"Your Majesty, General Han and Lady Han are on their way here, they will arrive at the plum garden in a moment."

Li Gonggong poured a cup of tea, glanced at the racecourse out of the corner of his eye, then looked at the regent standing by the platform, sighing soundlessly.

On the other side, on the racecourse, Yun An'an and Aroye had changed into racing attire.

"Don't say this princess is bullying you, pick your horses first."

Best of three, first game is a horse race.

Next to the polo field, Yun Anan picked and chose until finally she selected a fiery red Thoroughbred named Liefeng.

"Yun An'an, you really are as clueless and incompetent as the legends say, hahaha~~~"

Being mercilessly mocked by Aroye, Yun'an was too lazy to care. She would have her cry later.

"Grand Chancellor, is your eldest daughter insane With so many fine horses to choose from, she picked this mediocre one. Doesn't she realize she's doomed to lose"

Yun Qian Shan was also invited to Mei Garden. He wore a cloak with his hands tucked into his sleeves, sitting on the right-hand side of the stands, squinting at Yun An An.

"We're doomed. Your eldest daughter is truly a disgrace to our Northern Star Kingdom."

The official standing beside him shook his head. It was clear even without watching that the outcome of this match had been decided.

"What are you losing by singing the praises of another country As an official of Beichen, shouldn't you be promoting your own nation Perhaps I should challenge you to a duel"

Yun Qian Shan coldly berated the officials around him, and the surrounding officials shut their mouths for fear of being scolded.

On the polo field, Princess Aruo of Mobei chose a black steed.

Whether from the figure or any other aspect, it completely surpasses the Gale chosen by Yun'an.

"Yun An'an, you're doomed. This princess will make you lose everything."

"Hah~ hillbilly."

Glancing at Araragi, Yun Annan shifted on her horse.

The referee was divided between Bei Chen Guo's old King and the official from Mobei, Bu Loduo.

"Little cloud, come on! This king will even personally take the stage as a judge."

Old Wang had arrived early and watched the play for a long time.

If it weren't for Yun An'an and the delicate relationship between the two countries, he wouldn't bother getting involved in this kind of thing.

"Everyone knows the rules of the game, right"

"Run ten laps around the racetrack, and the first one to reach the finish line is the winner."

The competition is about to begin.

All eyes are on

Even officials are placing private bets, and it can be said that ninety-nine percent of them are betting on Princess Mo Bei's Aroye to win.

"Seventeen, I'm putting my own money on myself to win."

Yun An'an threw a bag of silver to Bai Shiqi.

"Don't call me Shi XVII!!"

His sword-shaped eyebrows shot up in anger. This woman dared to call him "Seventeenth Sister" while tugging at his neck.

Now everyone knows the elegant name of Master Bai, son of Duke Yiwang.

A loud drumbeat sounded, and a black stallion leaped out, charging ahead with overwhelming dominance.

One circle, two circles, three circles, four circles……

The black steed galloped far ahead, leaving a trail of wind in its wake. In contrast, the red steed ambled along, carrying the equally languid Yun An'an as it trotted slowly.

It seems he wasn't aware that he had been passed twice.

"You have character, want to hang out with us"

Yun An'an patted the steed she had just sat upon. Don't look at this guy, he's inconspicuous in a herd of horses, but he's most to her liking, completely different from the others, with personality.

Extremely proud and arrogant.

A gust of wind turned back, glanced at Yun An'an, and snorted.

Here, one person and one horse were still chatting nonsense, while over there, Aroyea riding the black steed had outraced them again.

Just two more laps, and she'll be the winner of the first race.

"Yun'an'an, you're defeated."

"It's too early to talk about who will win or lose in this little girl's film."

A cunning smile flashed across his eyes. Yun An'an stroked the mane of Lie Feng.

"No hurry, let's take our time."

One more round, and then victory will be ours.

At this moment, the black steed that had been galloping alone suddenly stopped in its tracks. Arojoe on its back was thrown off, headfirst into the snowdrift.

"Oh What's going on here The dignified Princess of Mobei, how could she fall like that嘖嘖嘖~~"

One person and one horse strolled leisurely by. On the other side, no matter what methods Aroye used, the black horse just lay on the ground panting.

"Oh my, we meet again. We'll be done in two more rounds! Keep up the good work, Princess! ~"

"Yun An'an, it's you! It must be you who did this!!!"

……

The first match has ended.

The victor, Yun An'an, and Lie Fengma with a sullen face.

"Yun'an'an is the one who's up to no good, if it weren't for you, this princess wouldn't have lost."

"Your horsemanship is lacking, what does that have to do with this Princess"

Besides, with so many eyes watching, how could this princess possibly cheat Doesn't the princess think these living people are fools

Yun'an chuckled coldly, especially that expression on her face as if to say, "It's my doing, what can you do about it" Aruo Ye was so angry she almost jumped out of her skin.

"You wait for this princess, in the second and third matches, this princess will definitely make you lose utterly."

"Wow, Your Highness actually knows idioms! Impressive, impressive. This Queen thought you'd only say things like 'die!' or 'get lost!'"

"You, you…"

A Jiao was so angry that smoke billowed from her seven orifices. She knew that Yun An'an had deliberately played it safe in the first match, but she couldn't find any fault with her. She could only swallow her anger.

The competition between Yun'an'an and Aroyee continued.

The first race was lost, and in the second match Aroye proposed archery.

He who shoots the most arrows into another's heart wins.

"You don't need to explain, I'm not blind."

Yun'an impatiently waved her hand. "Archery competitions are just about who hits the center of the target more times, what's there to explain about the rules"

To prevent Yun'an An from secretly playing dirty, Aro Ye and Yun'an An competed simultaneously.

In the distance, two targets stood silently in the snow.

Yunan An sat with a longbow, lounging lazily and showing no intention of drawing it to shoot.

On the other hand, Aro Ye shot ten arrows straight to the bullseye, eliciting countless cheers.

"As expected of the princess of the northern desert, your archery skills are truly remarkable. You are indeed the foremost female archer of our time."

The first female vixen nowadays

This name is quite resounding!

"It's your turn now, Yun'an'an. This princess wants to see how you can turn the tables this time."

Looking at A Luo Ye's proud appearance, Yun An An yawned and stood up, carrying her longbow.

Draw the bowstring, and with one breath launch an arrow.

However, the first arrow only hit the outer edge of the target.

The next seven arrows all landed outside the target rings, none of them hitting the bullseye.

"Yun Yato, what are you doing"

Lao Wang Ye couldn't guess what Yun An An was trying to do for a moment. The moment the first arrow missed the bullseye, the outcome of the competition was decided.

He can see Yun An'an looking calm and composed. Given his understanding of Yun Yaotou, there must be a twist coming.

The ninth arrow is drawn.

With a whoosh, the arrow struck the bullseye squarely.

"Well, well, even if you hit the bullseye with your ninth arrow, you wouldn't win. Such a waste of this princess's time. Let's get on to the third round."

"The little girl."

Facing the crowd, Yun An'an drew her longbow.

"Mother, let me show you what high-end operation is, and let you see what social treachery is."

The tenth arrow flew off the string with incredible speed, but it was aimed in a different direction.

With a bang!

The tenth arrow shot from Yun An'an's hand pierced Aroye's target.

As the target shattered into pieces, the arrows that were originally embedded in it fell to the ground.

"According to the rules, an arrow only counts as a score when it hits the target."

"Your Grace, Princess Aroye, you've lost again."

Sunlight streamed down, falling upon Yun'an An's body. The dazzling smile on her peerless face astonished everyone.yoto."An'er, I still have a gift for you."Approaching Yun An'an, Bei Chen Yi held a rectangular black wooden box in his hand, the origins of which were unknown.The wooden box is almost as tall as Yun...
