A burst of laughter came through, with a bit of disdain. Yun Shang acted as if she hadn't heard the words. She played with the goblet in her hand, and coldly looked at the stage.
Qi Lang fell into a deep thought. He made a obeisance to Yun Shang and asked, "Your Highness, do you like this drama?"
Yun Shang felt all eyes were on her, so she smiled and said calmly, "If she is a showgirl, the performance should be more outstanding, but not fit for the role. The role should be more generous and overbearing."
"A general is not supposed to be taken charge of by a woman. And the battlefield is not a place for women either." A loud voice was heard from downstairs. As everyone was paying attention to Yun Shang, the voice was loud and was deafening.
Qi Lang's face slightly changed, "How dare you!"
Yun Shang gave a wee smile and looked at the man. He was in his thirties and had a moustache. He seemed to be one of Qi Lang's subordinates. "General Qi is right. You are too bold. I can punish you for disrespecting me."
The man snorted, "I was just being honest. It's indeed your highness. You are putting on airs."
"What you said just now was disrespectful not to me, but to the first Empress of the the State of Ning!" Yun Shang's eyes grew colder. When everyone was in a daze, she said, "Not long after the founding of the State of Ning, Empress Xiao, she went out to war with the first Emperor. There were even many wins that were won by her own hands. The first Emperor of the State of Ning said that most of the country's territory was under the leadership of Empress Xiao. You just said that the general should not be a woman, but Empress Xiao was conferred the title of General Qimin by the fist Emperor of our country. You said that the battle should not be fought by women. The general had spent more than ten years on the battlefield, and she even went to the battlefield when she was pregnant. Are you disrespectful to Empress Xiao? "
The man looked sullen. After a long while, he asked, "do you refer to yourself as the Empress Xiao?"
Yun Shang chuckled. She glanced at the man, and said, "Empress Xiao is of course, a model for women in the State of Ning. Don't you think so?"
This was a question that no matter how much he would say, he would still be wrong. The man clearly discovered it. He coldly snorted, "What an eloquent princess."
Yun Shang smiled, and looked down upon the crowd. Her gaze gradually turned cold. "I know that many people present look down upon me, thinking that I'm just a woman knowing nothing, but as a princess, I'm here to make trouble. Thinking of this, why should I even come to the KY City when everything is all right. Yes, I'm a woman. But I don't think that I'm inferior to any of you men. "
Seeing that most of the men didn't take it seriously, Yun Shang smiled, pointed at Qian Yin beside her, and said, "By the way, men think they are strong and their strength is stronger than women. Well, you can call someone to have a competition with the 16-year-old servant girl who looks weak. If she loses, I will pack up my belongings and leave without saying a word. If you lose, then today you all have to stand up and make a bow respectfully to me and the maid by saying that you were wrong. What do you think? "
Yun Shang looked down at the men and saw that they all wanted to do something. She smiled and took a sip of the wine, sitting quietly.
"Let me do it." The bearded man said, standing up. "Let me meet the girl next to your highness."
Yun Shang's hands trembled slightly. She smiled faintly, "of course you can. But I have to make it clear that there is only one fight. Are you sure you won't choose the strongest one among you?"
The man's face changed. He suppressed his anger and said, "I'm not the best martial artist in the world. Look at this little girl, as pretty as a flower. I just want to help her..."
