"Is that a bad move?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously. "Whether the supplies are sent first or last, or in large or small quantities, the soldiers will benefit."

"What's this about superior or inferior? What's there to compare?"

Qi Zhiyu looked at Jiang Shuyi, whose face had turned pale, with considerable confusion: "Could it be that the King of Wu sent supplies to the soldiers with a competitive intention?"

"He won't give it to me if I don't compare him to my dad?"

Jiang Shuyi froze, and she subconsciously looked at Wei Yifeng beside her.

Wei Yifeng was also stunned, never expecting Qi Zhiyu to retaliate from this angle.

There's a lot of talk outside that King Wu is down-to-earth and King Rui is high-profile and flamboyant, but after Qi Zhiyu said that... it all feels off.

The people in the teahouse were also stunned, exchanging bewildered glances.

Princess Chen'an, what you said makes a lot of sense.

"I really don't know what's there to compare?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

"Hmm, that's really strange. King Wu has held military power for so many years, hasn't he ever thought of sending anything to his soldiers?"

"What's this? My father is a bit better off this year and is thinking of sending supplies to the soldiers. It just so happens that the King of Wu has the same idea?"

Qi Zhiyu pondered, "Is this because the Prince of Wu is deliberately trying to compete with my father, or is it because he's no longer the crown prince but a prince, and he's trying to win people's hearts?"

Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng almost went crazy.

What nonsense is Qi Zhiyu spouting?

The King of Wu's reputation had only been good for a few days. If this were to spread... not only would all his previous efforts be ruined, but he would also be cursed to death!

"Jiang Shuyi, what do you think?" Qi Zhiyu asked Jiang Shuyi with a smile.

Jiang Shuyi's mouth moved, but she didn't know how to respond.

Qi Zhiyu looked at her amusedly: "Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you very self-righteous when you were pulling at my father in the private room?"

"I believe the other guests in the private rooms on the second floor also heard it."

Wei Yifeng frowned, disgusted by Qi Zhiyu's aggressive manner: "Princess, we are only talking because people outside are saying such things."

"Oh, I see." Qi Zhiyu suddenly realized. "It was said by outsiders, it has nothing to do with you."

"It's good that the princess understands," Wei Yifeng said coldly.

Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled, "General Wei, is your habit of blindly following others really safe on the battlefield?"

"You're not letting other people's opinions influence your ability to lead troops in battle, are you?"

"Then...who will be responsible for the lives of the soldiers who follow generals like you?"

Wei Yifeng's face was deathly pale, even tinged with a sinister bluish tinge.

His hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his arms trembled slightly.

Qi Zhiyu saw his anger and hatred clearly.

She simply smiled, turned around, and left.

She left, but Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng, who remained, had to endure the strange looks from those around them, as well as the endless discussions about the King of Wu.

Just moments ago they were praising the King of Wu and despising the King of Rui, but now... it's completely reversed, a complete change!

Wei Yifeng quickly chased after him, and although Jiang Shuyi didn't know what he was going to do, she still hurriedly followed him.

Wei Yifeng was fast on his feet and quickly caught up with Qi Zhiyu in the alley.

"Qi Zhiyu!" Wei Yifeng shouted angrily when there was no one else around.

Qi Zhiyu stopped and looked at him with a half-smile.

Wei Yifeng stopped and walked step by step towards Qi Zhiyu. His eyes were sinister, like those of a vengeful ghost: "Qi Zhiyu, you did this on purpose!"

"Yes, that's right," Qi Zhiyu readily admitted.

"You deliberately led us to the teahouse just to vindicate Prince Rui!" Wei Yifeng gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Not bad, you figured it out so quickly."

"Qi Zhiyu, you've ruined my life!" Wei Yifeng clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, staring at her with eyes blazing with fury.

Qi Zhiyu looked at Wei Yifeng as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Isn't that obvious?"

"You're one of the King of Wu's men. If I don't harm you, I'll help you!"

"Wei Yifeng, don't assume that just because you're mentally ill, everyone else in the world is as sick as you."

"Qi Zhiyu, you've gone too far!" Jiang Shuyi finally caught up, panting, and overheard what was happening, angrily accusing her.

Qi Zhiyu asked curiously, "So what if I went too far? Go ahead and hit me if you dare."

"Oh, right, you guys can't beat me."

"Insulting me?"

"Hey, I still can't win an argument!"

"How can you all be so useless? You can't beat them in a fight, and you can't win an argument... You're just wasting food by living like this."

Jiang Shuyi trembled with anger: "Qi Zhiyu, what do you have to be so proud of?"

"Aren't you just relying on the Prince Rui's mansion to back you up?"

"Yeah, I have someone backing me up. So I can be smug?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Jiang Shuyi smugly. "What? Envious? Jealous?"

"You, you...you shameless!" Jiang Shuyi was so angry she almost cried.

She had never seen such a shameless person.

"Oh... when it comes to shamelessness, I'm no match for you guys." Qi Zhiyu said with a grin, making Jiang Shuyi's vision blur with anger.

Wei Yifeng helped her up, gritting his teeth and sneering, "Qi Zhiyu, don't be so smug."

"The King of Wu is not someone you can easily overthrow."

"You've seen the King of Wu's connections?" Wei Yifeng looked at Qi Zhiyu with haughty indifference.

"In such a short period of time, the mobilization of so many resources is something that Prince Rui cannot match."

Regardless of what others say, the King of Wu's strength is undeniable, and Prince Rui and the court officials are well aware of this.

Those ministers who once wavered should now put their minds at ease.

The King of Wu is worthy of their following!

Qi Zhiyu clapped her hands: "King Wu is so amazing!"

"The King of Wu's abilities are beyond your imagination!" Wei Yifeng arrogantly raised his chin, mocking Qi Zhiyu's naivety.

Didn't Qi Zhiyu and the others also see the King of Wu's wealth and connections?

"It's really unimaginable. It seems my family should also start working hard to earn money," Qi Zhiyu said thoughtfully.

Wei Yifeng sneered, "Go make money now? Qi Zhiyu, you should know that even if you start making money now, it still can't compare to the accumulation of King Wu over the years."

"Can't beat them?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously. "How could they not beat them?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you too much, but... you can take a look at my marriage." Wei Yifeng said proudly.

"The King of Wu will hold a grand and magnificent wedding for me, unlike anything you've ever seen!"

"Will the King of Wu do it for you?" Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise.

"Of course! The Wei family is, after all, the family of Consort De!" Wei Yifeng stood up straight with one hand behind his back.

That's his confidence!

"Okay, then on your wedding day, I must take a good look and see what a magnificent scene it is!" Qi Zhiyu smiled brightly.

"I'm really looking forward to it..."
