The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 879

Chapter 879: Chapter 765, Dead Men Tell No Tales

"Shameless, where is it seen that a girl openly expresses her desire to find a husband’s family? If you must seek, so be it, but she even wishes to marry into our Daxia—has Xiliao run out of men?"

"Those from Xiliao don’t understand any sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, or shame."

The group of female relatives pointed and sneered at Yelu Qianhua with contempt and revulsion.

Daohua’s heart, however, clenched with unease. Recalling what Princess Lekang had said earlier, she was overwhelmingly agitated.

Though the Emperor was reluctant to marry Princess Lekang off to Xiliao, he would not ignore Xiliao’s request for peaceful and friendly relations. Daxia had just ended the war with the Northern Frontier last year, and the nation’s strength and military forces had not yet recovered. If possible, Daxia had no wish to start a conflict with Xiliao.

Now that the Princess from Xiliao was actively proposing marriage into Daxia, the Emperor would not refuse.

Indeed, as soon as the Emperor heard the Princess of Xiliao’s request, he nodded in agreement with a smile.

When the Emperor consented, several of the Emperor’s wives and princes’ consorts simultaneously turned pale. Xiao Yeyang, who sat beside the Emperor, also furrowed his brows and cast an indifferent glance towards Duke Cheng’en and the Princely Heir Jiang not far away with a smirk on their faces.

"Your Majesty."

Xiao Yeyang stood up.

The Emperor looked towards Xiao Yeyang, "What is it?"

Your Majesty," Xiao Yeyang said, "your servant also requests to participate in the competition. I desire both the prize offered by Your Majesty and that from Xiliao. I will soon marry, and I would like to offer these two prizes to my fiancee to bring her joy."

The Emperor smiled at Xiao Yeyang, "Granted."

With permission, Xiao Yeyang turned and walked down from the stands.

"Xiao Yeyang!"

As Xiao Yeyang passed the stand where the Yan Family was seated, Daohua called out to him.

Xiao Yeyang immediately came over and whispered to Daohua, "Don’t worry."

Daohua glanced at Yelu Qianhua, who had just mounted her horse and thoughtfully said, "Seeing that Princess from Xiliao’s confident demeanor, she must have some assurance of winning the prize."

Xiao Yeyang sneered coldly, "Not a chance with me here."

Daohua: "It’s not the known that scares me, it’s the unknown." As she handed Xiao Yeyang some tea, she discreetly gave him two pills, "This medicine can trigger a frenzied reaction in the horses. If nothing unexpected happens during the race, that’s fine, but if something does happen, see what you can do."

Xiao Yeyang nodded imperceptibly without changing his expression, drank the tea that Daohua handed him, and then turned and walked away.

"They say the Princess of Xiliao is shameless, but our Countess of Shengping is not far behind."

Madam Jiang the second sneered.

Princess Huijia, who was nearby, heard this and laughed, "How can that be the same? Countess of Shengping and the Little Prince are already betrothed."

Madam Jiang the second: "Betrothed but not yet married, so intimate in public, who knows how much more in private..."

Princess Lekang interrupted her abruptly: "Madam Jiang, mind your words. Father is still here."

No one had expected Princess Lekang to speak up. Madam Jiang the second was stunned for a moment, but after recovering, she was filled with rage.

The Jiang Family was Princess Lekang’s maternal family. She didn’t stand up for her but reprimanded her publicly instead—did she even regard her own aunt?

Princess Lekang paid no attention to the crowd and fixed her gaze on the racing field.

...

The horn sounded, and the Xiliao and Daxia participants charged forward like arrows released from their bows in a frenetic chase.

Among them, Yelu Qianhua in her red dress was particularly eye-catching.

The participants from Xiliao intentionally or unintentionally affected those from Daxia, and before long, Yelu Qianhua led a group of more than ten Xiliao riders to the front.

Daohua sat in the stands, anxiously following the progress of the race. It wasn’t until she saw Xiao Yeyang, alongside his two brothers and Wu Dingbo, catching up to Yelu Qianhua that her expression eased slightly.

Yelu Qianhua looked back at Xiao Yeyang and the others who were about to overtake her and gritted her teeth. Putting her fingers to her lips, she quickly blew a long whistle.

Upon the whistle, all the horses in the field simultaneously began to act uncontrollably.

Taking advantage of the moment Xiao Yeyang and the others were calming their horses, Yelu Qianhua once again surpassed them.
