Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 604: The Contest

Since ancient times, the order is Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, Teacher.

Heaven and Earth are the greatest, followed by the Sovereign.

Below the Sovereign is the Imperial Family.

When the Sovereign is the Emperor, then the Imperial Family are blood relatives of the Son of Heaven, and in the Dazhou Dynasty, where blood relations are paramount, the status of the Imperial Family is noble.

Long Yue is a Princess Consort, but Luo Xiaoxiao is merely the daughter of a minister, without even an official position.

She is just an ordinary woman!

So, Long Yue saying, "I am the Princess Consort, you must listen to me," is indeed perfectly justified!

Luo Xiaoxiao was furious.

She shook her thin lips, stomped her foot in anger, and her dissatisfied look seemed like she wanted to strangle Long Yue.

But Long Yue just looked at her calmly.

This calm gaze was chilling, making Luo Xiaoxiao’s back crawl with goosebumps.

At this moment, a woman beside her, who had previously asked who Long Yue was, nudged her: "A mourning army will always win, Xiaoxiao, let it go!"

During their rivalry, she had already inquired about this Princess Consort Mu; her husband had just passed away, and she was in deep grief. It was best not to provoke her.

Luo Xiaoxiao was very angry, but thinking it over, she found reason in her friend’s words.

The woman had just lost her husband, and her body was heavy with resentment and hostility; it’s better not to clash with her.

Then, Luo Xiaoxiao stormed off in anger.

"Hey, Chang Yao, aren’t you going to console your fiancée? She doesn’t seem very pleased! Haha..."

A dandy next to Chang Yao patted his shoulder and laughed loudly.

Chang Yao replied indifferently, "Xiaoxiao is fiery-tempered; she’ll settle down in a while. She doesn’t need my persuasion."

As he spoke, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, evidently displeased by Luo Xiaoxiao’s earlier disrespect to Long Yue.

Long Yue looked at him in surprise: "So Luo Xiaoxiao is your fiancée? Heh, I was so inconsiderate, won’t Third Young Master Chang be angry?"

"How could that be? The Princess Consort is joking!"

Worried that Long Yue might misunderstand, Chang Yao hurriedly denied it.

Long Yue’s gaze shifted, she smiled lightly: "Young Master Chang’s words make me seem petty."

"I..."

Chang Yao was truly at a loss; whatever he said seemed wrong.

What should I say?

Chang Yao felt he was really having a hard time, or perhaps he was just too foolish? He never managed to please her and even a few words could upset her.

Little did he know, his words were all correct, it’s just... there’s a saying, a sycophant has no future...

Long Yue ignored Chang Yao’s frustrated expression and turned to say: "Since we’re here, let’s have some fun before we leave! Zhuoya, Qiao’er, do you know how to ride?"

As Long Yue spoke, she pointed to the distant horse racing ground where people were already competing. Of course, the first place winner would receive rewards, all of valuable items or some rare things.

Long Yue was eyeing a red fox stole over there; the fox stole was vividly red, although it wasn’t quite appropriate for her to wear it now. But when her fancy strikes, who can resist?

Things she likes, she must have!

Long Yue initially wasn’t someone with such strong possessiveness, but perhaps after experiencing the upheaval of Li Qingmu’s death, her personality became more biased.

But so what? Doing as she pleases is best!

Yang Zhuoya nodded lightly, while Qiao’er just shook her head blankly.

She was merely a farmer’s daughter, and even after getting married, she was only a merchant. How could she know this? She wanted to learn, but still remembered that the last time she went riding outside the city, she almost fell off. After that thrilling experience, she never wanted to ride again.

Long Yue merely asked casually, whether they could ride horses or not was of little concern to her.

Taking off her outer cape and robe, Long Yue was wearing a neat underskirt that wouldn’t drag.

"I wish to pick a good horse!"

Long Yue arrived at the horse field and spoke to a steward.

The steward smiled and moved aside, letting her choose herself.

The horses in the stable were black, white, and red; one chestnut horse had a circle of grey hair around its neck, which looked quite interesting.

Long Yue pointed at it: "That one!"

The steward smiled ingratiatingly and hesitated: "Princess Consort, this may not be appropriate."

"Why? What, you’re unhappy about me picking a horse?"

"No, not at all, Princess Consort, it’s just that all the horses in this field are very gentle, but only this horse is difficult to tame; if you mount it, I’m worried..."

"Oh, really?"

Long Yue responded indifferently, stepped forward, and gently patted the horse’s head and ears.

"See, it’s not as unruly as you said? It’s very gentle, isn’t it? This is the one I want!"

"Princess Consort, this, I..."

"Princess Consort Mu is a military family woman, just give her the horse!"

While the stable hand was hesitating, Luo Xiaoxiao rode over on a horse, looking down at them.

She wore a set of vivid red riding attire, her hair tied up high, looking energetic, and her gaze also fell on the prize platform’s red fox stole with a determined air.

"Esteemed guests, the next reward is a fire fox fur stole. The contest begins now; those wishing to participate, come here!"

A steward-like person waved his hand, signaling them to register here; Long Yue went over, and Luo Xiaoxiao followed.

"What, you like that fire fox fur stole too?"

At the sight of Long Yue, Luo Xiaoxiao seemed as if she had a deep-seated hatred, eager to devour her.

Long Yue simply smiled, led the horse out of the stable, and mounted it.

Luo Xiaoxiao gazed at her coldly, said nothing, and rode to the center of the field.

"Princess Consort Mu, do you see the flag over there? Whoever breaks through that flag first will have the fire fox fur!"

Luo Xiaoxiao said proudly, clearly very confident in her riding skills.

Because she believed she had spent years galloping in the Xinan region, while Long Yue merely stayed in Shengjing City as a noblewoman, where could she have even ridden a horse?

Thus, Luo Xiaoxiao felt her victory was certain!

Yang Zhuoya rode over to her side: "Yue’er, it’s just for fun, don’t take it too seriously!"

Long Yue shook her head lightly: "No, I really like that fire fox fur." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

This...

"Then give it a try!"

Luo Xiaoxiao wasn’t about to yield, determined to compete with Long Yue.

Long Yue turned her gaze coldly toward her: "Didn’t I tell you to shut up?"

Suddenly, Luo Xiaoxiao felt her face burning hot, uncomfortable, glaring angrily at Long Yue, but couldn’t utter a word.

"Hmph!"

She snorted coldly, turned her face away, and refused to pay attention to her, but instead stared firmly at the far target.

Naturally, Long Yue would not command her to withdraw from the contest or anything; everything should be taken in moderation.

"Ready—"

Someone nearby was shouting.

"Three, two, one..."

"Go!"

"Go!"

"..."

In an instant, countless horses shot forward like arrows.

While Long Yue was steering her horse into a gallop, elsewhere in a dense forest, a person dressed in black was moving lightly with a small crossbow in hand.

Their target was none other than Long Yue!
