Rong Chu looked eagerly at the heroic girl in the sun, and a fiery light burst out in his eyes.

The ministers of Daqian were silent at first, and then burst into loud applause.

By this time, no one dared to look down on Mu Ning.

Because they had personally tried the sun-shooting bow just now, and it seemed to be of great weight. Even they, generals who were good at fighting on the battlefield, could not shake it at all.

However, Princess Gong, a weak woman who was looked down upon by all of them, unexpectedly opened the door to shoot the sun, and even hit the target with one arrow!

Although Rong Haoyuan said nothing, there was undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

Prince Rong Jiang Yi's eyes and expression suddenly became extremely complicated. He looked at Mu Ning blankly, seeming to be immersed in his own thoughts.

He never expected that Feng Jingluan would be the one to resolve the crisis for him today.

But at this moment, when Rong Jiangyi saw Mu Ning's smile when she looked at Rong Chu, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Sour, with a hint of annoyance.

If possible, Rong Jiangyi would not want Mu Ning to take action at all. This woman had become a thorn in his heart.

Especially when he discovered what kind of stunning face she had hidden under the mask, Rong Jiangyi felt deeply deceived.

He felt that Feng Jingluan must have climbed onto the high tree of Rong Chu a long time ago, that's why she didn't want to be his crown princess!

When Rong Jiangyi thought of this, a ferocious look suddenly flashed across his soft eyes.

However, compared to the joy and excitement of everyone in Daqian, Hulu's envoys were already ashen-faced.

They never expected that Princess Gong could really open up the sun!

"No, it's impossible! How could you open the sun? You must have tampered with it!" The face of the bearded Hushe elite soldier was distorted. His hands were trembling, and he pointed at Mu Ning, accusing him angrily.

"Prince Ba, is this your Hulu style?"

Mu Ningli ignored the elite soldiers and looked coldly at Ba Youtu, whose face was ashen and defeated.

"Before I shot, didn't you still think that I would bend my back and cry? Why now that I actually drew the bow and shot, it turned out that we had tampered with the best bow in the world? Huh, we can't afford to lose. Don’t bet like others!”

After a pause, Mu Ning said contemptuously, "Besides, Prince Ba must know who is tampering with the bow better than anyone else!"

Ba Youtu glared at She Jingbing fiercely. At this time, his face was already very ugly, but he still pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Prince Ba, can't you afford to lose?" Rong Chu took the Sunshot from Mu Ning's hand with one hand. Originally, he was worried that she would be unable to bear the weight, but when he heard the meaning of her words, Rong Chu was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyebrows.

Stupid bird, she has already discovered that there is something wrong with this bow?

Sure enough, after taking it, Rong Chu weighed it in his hand. His eyes immediately narrowed with a cold light, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised into a sarcastic smile.

"Prince Ba, you have really spent a lot of money this time. How is High Priest Xuanjing doing these days?" Rong Chu sneered.

Hearing this, Ba Youtu suddenly raised his head, and when he met Rong Chu's cold eyes, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

"Do you know the High Priest Xuanjing?" Ba Youtu's face turned pale with nervousness as cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

"A one-sided relationship!"

Rong Chu glanced at Ba Youtu indifferently, his eyes filled with coldness. He returned the sun-shooting throw to Ba Youtu and said in a deep voice, "I don't need to pursue the matter this time, but Hulu will try to do anything next time." What tricks, don’t blame me for not caring about the friendship between our two countries!”

Ba Youtu silently took the shot and handed the bow to the soldiers.

The Lolita immediately stepped forward to give it a try, then shook her head at Ba Youtu with a heavy face.

She Jingbing tried even harder to pull the bow apart, but the bow string that was easily pulled open in Mu Ning's hands seemed to weigh ten thousand kilograms in the hands of Kong Wu's powerful She Jingbing.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it.

"Boom!" The officials and officials suddenly burst into bursts of mocking laughter.

They all heard it. It turned out that the Hulu people had tampered with this bow. No wonder so many of them couldn't pull it open!

How despicable!

Ba Youtu saw that the eyes of the ministers of the Daqian were full of anger when they looked at them, and he also knew that if he didn't speak out, he might offend the public.

And today it was obvious that they were the first to be unreasonable!

But Ba Youtu didn't understand how High Priest Xuanjing moved his hand and how Princess Gong drew the bow and arrow.

Could it be that Princess Gong was born with supernatural powers?

So, could she be the person that High Priest Xuanjing is looking for?

But this thought only flashed through Ba Youtu's mind. Although he was confused, he couldn't ask more questions now.

They are now in Daqian. If Rong Chu takes the opportunity to attack them, they will really have no way to escape!

Besides, this is not the purpose of their trip.

So Ba Youtu could only smile awkwardly and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Gong said something serious!"

Then he avoided talking about Rong Chu's accusations, and just held out the bet paper with both hands, "I am willing to admit defeat, and please bear with me, Your Highness Prince Gong!"

Rong Chu signaled Eunuch Pu beside him to take the bet, squinted his eyes and said nothing.

"Uncle Gong! Hu Lu really bullied people too much! Is this the end of it?" Rong Jiangyi was very unhappy.

These Hulu people deliberately set a trap to lure him into the trap, which almost caused his position as prince to be in doubt.

Although there was no danger today, his status in the hearts of the ministers must have been affected.

He really couldn't swallow this breath!

"Then what does the prince plan to do?" Rong Chu asked calmly.

"..." Rong Jiangyi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but then he saw his uncle secretly shaking his head at him.

Rong Jiangyi's heart suddenly stirred, and he suddenly reacted. He immediately gritted his teeth, his expression changed violently for a moment, and he immediately lowered his hands and said respectfully, "My nephew is not thinking carefully. Please forgive me, Uncle Gong!"

"Go back and reflect on what happened today, and come see me in three days!" Rong Chu's voice was still calm, and no emotion could be heard.

But the ministers who supported the prince were relieved. Just now they were really worried that Rong Chu would take the opportunity to punish the prince.

Although today's matter ended perfectly, the prince's unclear understanding of people and recklessness are taboos for a king.

If Rong Chu insisted on deposing the crown prince, this one crime would be enough.

"Thank you, Uncle Gong!" Rong Jiangyi lowered his head and did not dare to say another word.

But there was a dark light flashing under his drooping eyelashes.

"Let's go, the banquet is about to begin!" Rong Chu took Mu Ning's hand and walked towards Shuanghua Palace first.

Mu Ning never made a sound, she just walked side by side with Rong Chu silently.

In Shuanghua Hall, all the guests and hosts took their seats, and the banquet began.

Since the emperor was not around, Rong Chu sat at the top of the table, and Mu Ning naturally sat next to him.

The prince and others sat on Rong Chu's right hand side, while Ba Youtu and his entourage sat at the VIP seats on the left hand side.

At the banquet, the host and guest exchanged glasses, but due to the previous incident at the school grounds, the officials and officials were somewhat displeased with people like Hulu.

If they weren't concerned about face, they might not even bother to pay attention to Tatars like Hulu.

On the other hand, Ba Youtu and others acted as if nothing had happened. During the dinner, they kept talking to Rong Chu and were polite to important ministers.

Ba Youtu's concubine Loli'er, who had changed back into women's clothing, went to toast Rong Chu three times, looking at Rong Chu with her big loving eyes each time.

But Rong Chu had a puzzled look on his face and turned a blind eye to Loli's hint.

At this moment, his attention was all on Mu Ning.

After returning from school, she returned to a state of absent-mindedness again. Her eyes were far away and she was stunned, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Even when Loli'er flirted with Rong Chu in front of her, she didn't react.

Not to mention Naba Youtu's attentiveness to her, Mu Ning simply turned a deaf ear to it.

Rong Chu couldn't help but frown, and felt a little worried in his heart.

The singing and dancing in the hall continued, and the guests were all admiring the exquisite dishes today.

Rong Chu accidentally lowered his eyes, and then he noticed that Mu Ning had been picking vegetables all the time.

Today, in order to welcome the Hulu envoy, the dishes prepared by the royal chef of Daqian Palace are all spicy, and a lot of condiments such as pepper are used.

Rong Chu had not used his chopsticks much since the beginning of the banquet, while Mu Ning was holding her chin, as if subconsciously picking out all the condiments from the dishes.

Then he put some very spicy dishes in the plain water in her cup and then put them on the dishes in front of Rong Chu.

Rong Chu secretly clenched his hands in his sleeves. He looked at Mu Ning with complicated eyes and pursed his lips for a moment.

However, Mu Ning was always in a daze, and she didn't even notice the heartache in Rong Chu's eyes when he looked at her.

When the banquet was finally over and the guests dispersed, since Rong Chu still had official business to deal with, he asked Mu Ning to go back first.

Mu Ning nodded mechanically, turned around and got on the carriage back to the palace without asking anything.

Back at the palace, Mu Ning washed her face and went to sleep.

She has always felt tired recently. If Qingxue doesn't call her, she often sleeps for the whole day.
