The martial arts tournament was over. Lu Yuan, the one all the civil and martial officials had least expected, had actually won.
"He won?"
"It's over?"
...
The old eunuch stood by the ring, shouting at the top of his lungs, "The winner is—Lord Lu, Prefect of Dongchang!"
In the distance, Gu Ziye, who was sitting on top of a wall, heard the announcement from the Training Ground. Lu Yuan had won.
Gu Ziye pushed herself up with both hands and stood on the wall. She jumped up and down, waving her little hands wildly and shouting, "Hooray, hooray, Yuan~ won!"
In her excitement, Gu Ziye missed a step. A loose brick on the wall fell to the ground as she cried out, "AH!"
Several nearby Jinyi Guards rushed forward and safely caught the Princess as she fell from the wall.
After being caught by the Jinyi Guards, Gu Ziye quickly stood up and said, "How audacious! Is my body something you're allowed to touch?"
