The prince saw Wang Peiru's embarrassed look and stepped forward to change the subject, "Didn't we just talk about a competition? I wonder how the competition Miss Han mentioned should be conducted?"

Han Bingjie said, "We in Northern Qi fight for the world on horseback, so why don't we compete in horseback archery? Whoever loses will admit his mistake."

As soon as the prince finished speaking, Wang Peiru stood up, gave the prince a charming smile, then turned to Mu Yan with high morale and said, "Okay! I just don't know if Miss Mu dares to accept the challenge? If you admit defeat now, it's not too late."

She looked at Mu Yan with disdain. Her riding and archery skills were taught by her father from veteran soldiers who had retired from the battlefield. Her skills were first-rate and there were only a handful of them in the entire Earl of Yongkang's Mansion. Even her brothers could not compare to her.

Even if Mu Yan had received instruction from Marquis Zhongyong in her riding and archery skills at the border over the past two years, she believed that with her own talent she would never be able to catch up with him, and she had heard Mu Wan say before that her elder sister was a fool, so she was not panicked at all.

On the other hand, she thought of the embarrassment King Han had caused her just now, and she felt indignant and resentful. She must take this opportunity to get back at Mu Yan and make her crawl at her feet and admit her mistake.

Mu Yan raised her eyelids and smiled disdainfully, "Why not? I'm just afraid that you will lose too badly later. Don't cry and jump into the river then."

After her rebirth, she didn't want to make enemies with so many people, but there were always a few clowns who came to provoke her, so don't blame her for turning against them.

These innuendos left Wang Peiru speechless, and her hatred for Mu Yan increased.

"I hope your ability will be as good as your mouth. Otherwise, not only you but also the loyal and brave Marquis will lose face."

Mu Yan rolled her eyes at her, "Same here."

Before Wang Peiru could refute, she heard the palace maid coming in from outside to report.

"My Lords, the archery and horse riding venue is ready."

After the palace servant finished reporting, everyone went to the riding and archery field together. Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, everyone followed.

The rules of the horseback archery event are that three people form a group and ride on horses to designated locations. They will keep a certain distance between each other. Each group is assigned a flower ball to pass on. When one person runs to the designated location, he will pass the flower ball in his hand to another person. Then the second person will pass the flower ball in his hand to the third person. After the third person runs to the finish line, he must shoot the flower ball accurately onto the designated target.

The most challenging part of this competition is the third person, who not only has to ensure the speed of riding, but also the accuracy of archery. If he misses the target, he will not win and will lose points.

Wang Peiru has Lin Yanyan on her side, and Mu Wan’s riding and archery skills are so bad that she will definitely not go up and make a fool of herself.

"Miss Wang, let me help you."

A girl in an orange dress stood out from the crowd. She had a soft and pleasant voice, an elegant temperament, and a gentle look in her eyes. One could tell at a glance that she was a typical lady from a noble family.

Mu Yan frowned slightly.

is her?

She is Fang Yuwei, the second daughter of Academician Fang. In her previous life, she was married to the crown prince and became the crown princess. She has a gentle and quiet personality, is generous in dealing with people, and does not put on airs when treating servants. She also often personally gives out porridge and rice outside the city, earning a good reputation for being virtuous.

But such a virtuous princess consort was never favored by the prince. Although the prince respected her at the beginning, he could not resist Wang Peiru's whispering in his ears every day, resulting in a princess consort being squeezed out by a concubine and almost having no place to stand in the prince's mansion. If the princess consort did not have the support of the emperor and empress behind her, she would have been reduced to a divorced woman long ago.

After Mu Yan married Mo Xingchen, she met the Crown Princess several times. Every time she saw her, she felt that there was a hint of sadness in her eyes and brows. She was completely different from now, without any vitality. Mu Yan felt a little distressed when she saw her.

It was already a very sad thing to be unable to get the love that was wanted, and Wang Peiru would deliberately show her affection with the prince in front of her from time to time, so the girl who was originally as beautiful as a flower was worn out beyond recognition just a few years after marriage.

Mu Yan didn't remember any previous relationship between them, so why would Fang Yuwei come out to help her at this time?

Not only Mu Yan did not expect this, but even Wang Peiru herself did not expect this. She and Fang Yuwei had only met a few times and had only spoken a sentence or two to each other. But it just so happened that she needed someone at this time, and Fang Yuwei was able to stand up and help her. She was more than happy to do so, and did not think too much about it. Maybe she also had a grudge against Mu Yan.

After all, Mu Yan's temperament is too cold and he is not good at dealing with people. He may offend people unintentionally without knowing it.

"Okay, thank you Miss Fang."

After getting Wang Peiru's answer, Fang Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes seemed to inadvertently fall on the yellow figure.

In the boudoir circle of women in the capital, apart from the blessing of their status, I believe that most women tend to be attracted to the handsome King Xuan, but she just likes the prince, and not because of his noble status as the prince, but simply because she likes him as a person.

My childhood sweetheart's love has never changed.

That was the first time she followed her mother into the palace. The young girl followed behind her mother and was very curious about many things in the palace. Her pair of bright black eyes looked everywhere and then she was attracted by a bush of flowers in the courtyard and stopped for a moment. However, her mother let go of her hand because she was too focused on chatting with the palace maid. When she reacted, she could no longer see her mother and the palace maid.

She looked up at the towering palace walls and the unfamiliar places around her, and was extremely panicked. She was so panicked that she didn't see the steps when she walked and almost tripped. Just when she was about to fall to the ground, a chubby little hand supported her. When she raised her head, a round face came into view. It was a very polite and noble little boy. After supporting her, he asked her softly if she was injured, and called a palace servant to take him to find his mother.

She originally thought that he was the son of a minister from a noble family, but when she met the little boy again in the Queen's Palace, she learned that he was the current Crown Prince.

From then on, a different feeling slowly blossomed until I grew up.

She had been there since just now, and had seen how the Crown Prince protected and appreciated Wang Peiru. Although she felt a little jealous, she still stood up without hesitation when Wang Peiru needed help. She not only wanted to use this opportunity to attract the Crown Prince's attention, but also felt that if you like someone, you should love him/her as well.
