Chapter 43: Mother's Hairpin
evered the black-clad man's spine.More than ten black-clad assassins were now down to their last survivor, caught between the desperation of wanting to live and the impossibility of dying.Snowflakes,...: []
When Old King spoke of the phoenix hairpin, Bei Chen Yi's hand paused mid-air as he was arranging vegetables for Yun An An.
"Hey, don't overthink it. The idea of using the Empress Consort's hairpin as a reward came from the Dowager Empress."
The grievances of the previous generation were too deep. How could the Empress Dowager let North Star Yi go after he returned to Kyoto
"Uncle."
With a chicken leg in her mouth, Yun An'an gently patted Bei Chen Yi's shoulder with her oil-painted little hand.
"Don't worry, I will definitely win back your mother's hairpin."
Whether it was the Emperor's intention or the Empress Dowager's who had never met her, she had to get the hairpin today.
The women's horse race, as the name suggests, can only be participated by women. Aroye was not among them, and she had no face to compete either.
Yun An'an rode the red steed Liefeng, leisurely approaching. Looking at the contestants on either side, she raised an eyebrow.
"Well, well, if it isn't Miss Second of the Nan family, Nan Weimi" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The last time I saw her was at the Snow Appreciation Banquet. In such a short time, this girl has become... even more annoying.
"Humph, don't think that just because you beat Princess Aroye, you can beat me. Just wait, you'll be crying later."
Nansuyuwei glanced at Yunan'an.
Aroye losing to this prostitute is incompetent, she wants to show Yun Anan what it means to have people outside of people and heavens outside of heavens.
"Oh my, I'm so scared!~~ This princess is frightened right now. What should I do"
Yun'an smiled, her jade hand gently stroking Liefeng's crimson mane.
The sudden gust of wind beneath them shrieked, and the steed reared up on its front legs. As it came down, its hoof landed squarely on the black warhorse under Nansuwei’s saddle.
It was just one foot, and the black steed Nan Suwei was riding fell to the ground suddenly, letting out a pained cry. Nan Suwei herself fell to the ground along with it.
"Oh dear, I apologize! Lie Feng can't stand seeing anyone bullying this Princess."
"You bitch, you did it on purpose!"
Nansuwēi, who crawled up from the ground, pointed at Yunanan and cursed her loudly.
That voice clearly echoed in everyone's ears.
Yun An'an, sitting on the horse, had a smile on his face.
Then how do you say it was intentional How do you say it wasn't
"You despicable, unwanted woman, come with me."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Nan Suwei rushed forward to attack.
Before Nansuwai could even step forward, a white figure appeared first and kicked her away with one foot.
"Miss Nan'er, it's best to be careful.
Bai Shiqi narrowed his eyes.
As someone from the royal court, he could despise Yun An'an, but others couldn't.
In front of outsiders, Yun An'an represented the status of the wife of the prince. As the legitimate wife of the prince, how could she allow a lowly concubine to insult her like this
"Alright, alright. A child who doesn't know any better. Seventeenth Lady, you tell the Minister of Rites for me."
Her phoenix eyes lifted slightly, and her expression instantly turned cold.
Yun An'an stood high above, looking down at Nan Suwei.
If some things can be done once or twice, if they are done repeatedly, then don't blame this princess for being impolite.
Furthermore, Heavenly Might Venomous Herbs are strictly forbidden items in the Beichen Kingdom. Young Miss Nan Er is just a child; if she were to ingest them herself, there would be no coming back from it.
She doesn't go out of her way to cause trouble for others.
If the ring that Nan Suwei was wearing wasn't hiding the Sky Power Poisonous Herb, every movement she made would have released poisonous dust from the herb, intending to poison her. The subsequent events wouldn't have happened then.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Bai Shiqi grabbed Nansu Wei like a little chick and left the racetrack, throwing her with a thump in front of Nan Xiaoren, the Minister of Rites.
As for what happened next, Yun An'an didn't care. Her only purpose now was the Chen Fei hairpin.
There are some women participating in the horse race, ranging from 30 to 50 years old.
Everyone rode fine steeds, except Yun An who sat on Lie Feng, looking lifeless.
"If you win the competition, Liefeng, there will be enough carrots."
"Hiss~~~~"
Li Feng raised his front hooves, responding to Yun An An's words.
At this time, the sound of gongs rose.
The competition rules are to run around the racetrack ten laps. The first place winner can receive a hairpin as a prize.
In a blink of an eye, a red steed shot out like lightning.
A crimson shadow, riding alone, left all the other horses far behind.
One circle, two circles, three circles, four circles....
The strong wind, running far ahead of the horses, completed ten laps first.
A horse face turned back to look at Yun An'an, and the expression on that face was incredibly arrogant.
"Princess Yi, first place."
Li Gonggong announced the first-place winner, and until Yun An'an took the hairpin from Li Gonggong's hand, she was still dazed, her soul hadn't returned.
"Uncle, here, this is Mother's hairpin."
She shook her head and sat down, suddenly feeling a wave of nausea in her stomach.
"Ugh~~~"
Seeing this scene, Old King Wang who was gnawing on pig's trotters instantly lost his appetite.
"Yun'er, aren't you with child"
Old Wang frowned, his heart filled with questions.
He doesn't know what happened to Beichen Yi. He can't possibly be with Yun Anan, he's just too much of a square person for that kind of thing.
No way!
Startled by his own thoughts, Old Master Wang hurriedly felt Yun An'an's pulse.
Only after confirming that Yun AnAn's discomfort was merely nausea and not morning sickness did a weight lift from his heart.
"It's okay, it's okay!!"
>It's just as well it wasn't pregnancy.
"Have a few cakes!"
Wiping the smudge from her lips, Yun An'an pointed at Lie Feng who was grazing not far away.
"It's all because of this guy."
Although she knew Lie Feng was a fine steed, she didn't expect him to be so wild. Not only was his burst of power strong, but his endurance was also top-notch.
"Aner, you've worked hard."
Beside Yun An'an sat Beichen Yi, gently wiping the corner of her mouth. Every move he made was extremely gentle.
At this moment, onlookers had already made up their minds but pretended to be puzzled.
Yun'an An and the Regent King have only been married for so long, and she is already pregnant But looking at Beichen Yi's expression, this child is his no doubt!
"Congratulations, Chancellor,"
"Congratulations on what"
Compared to others, Yun Qianshan frowned tightly.
He did not want Yun'an An to be pregnant, especially with the prince regent's child.
No, I have to find a time to tell her everything clearly.
"I have seen the Old King, the Regent Prince, and Your Highness,"
A light and graceful voice sounded, and Nan Sujin, in a pale blue long dress, walked forward slowly and bowed to the three elders.
"Miss Su Jin, how are you Are you here again to apologize to your sister"
"An'er, drink some warm water first and rinse your mouth."
Beichen Yidu held the teacup to Yun An'an's mouth.
Yun An'an habitually opened her mouth and drank some water, scorching her tongue.
"Burn~~"
"My husband, let me blow on it some more, it's not hot anymore."
Beichen Yi's said blowing, wasn't blowing the warm water in the teacup, but blowing on Yun An'an's tongue which was scalded by the heat, right in front of Nan Sujin's eyes.
Old Wang, who had already grown accustomed to being showered with affection by his beloved, calmly sipped his wine.
Though Nan Sujin had a warm smile on her face, the knuckles of her clenched fists were already white from digging into her flesh.r, unconditionally trusting Yun An'an, no matter what the desperate survival situation was. Beichen Yi guarded the woman in his arms and finally reached a distance of the highest point.The assassin hi...
