Meng Yunshang naturally felt Lu Chenxiao's gaze, which was sticky and resentful.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely respond.

But now, she doesn't want to.

Huai An didn't understand her thoughts. After noticing Lu Chenxiao's gaze, he reminded her in a baby voice, "Mother, it seems that our father is looking at us."

"Then Huai'an, please say hello to father," Meng Yunshang spoke to Huai'an as if nothing had happened, not showing any dislike for Lu Chenxiao at all.

Conflicts between parents cannot be transferred to their children.

Huai'an waved happily towards the tall figure in the field, and shouted, "Come on, father!"

Lu Chenxiao had amazing hearing ability. He looked up happily after hearing the voice, but he was only met with his son's hopeful gaze. His son's mother still lowered her head and refused to pay attention to him.

Lu Chenxiao couldn't help but grit his teeth. He shouldn't have been impulsive.

He stared at it for a while longer, but Meng Yunshang was still only talking to Huai'an and didn't show any intention of looking down.

Lu Chenxiao waited for a long time, but there was no response from her, and a layer of gloom covered his whole body.

Lu Yuanjing, who was standing opposite the platform, had been paying attention to the movements of Meng Yunshang and her son, and naturally discovered the fact that Lu Chenxiao was being ignored.

He sneered in his heart and secretly cursed Lu Chenxiao for being useless.

But he teased Huai'an gently, "With so many generals competing in the arena, Huai'an is only cheering for your father?"

Huai'an paused.

Then she smiled brightly at him, "If Uncle Prince Yu also participates in the competition, Huai'an will cheer for you too."

Emperor Yuan Qing couldn't help laughing.

When Lu Yuanjing looked at him, he instantly became serious.

He said to Huai'an earnestly, "Prince Yu is not as rude as your father, brandishing swords and guns all day long, shouting and calling for war and killing."

Huai'an tilted his head and blinked his big eyes, looking at Emperor Yuan Qing and then at Prince Yu.

Finally, he asked doubtfully, "Uncle Huang, my father is always riding horses and playing with guns. Isn't that good?"

Emperor Yuan Qing chuckled and asked him, "Does Huai'an like your father's swordplay?"

Huai'an puffed out his chest and said with great pride: "My father is not just a swordsman, he is a true hero with great martial arts skills and bravery, and he is also a man who stands tall and proud."

Emperor Yuan Qing nodded, "Yes, Uncle Huang also thinks that your father is brave and good at fighting, and is the recognized guardian god of the Yuan Dynasty."

Huai'an was filled with pride when his father was recognized. He patted his chest and said to Emperor Yuan Qing, "Don't worry, uncle. Huai'an will be more powerful than father when he grows up. He will definitely be able to help uncle with more tasks."

Emperor Yuan Qing was amused and responded to him with appreciation, "Okay, then Uncle Emperor will wait for that day to come as soon as possible."

Huai'an said yes in a baby voice.

Then he asked Lu Yuanjing innocently, "Uncle Yu Wang didn't play in the game because he didn't like it?"

Just as Lu Yuanjing was about to speak, he heard the little guy add, "What's the problem with Uncle Prince Yu?"

What difficulty could there be? Of course it’s because I’m not as skilled as others.

"Pfft," this time it was Concubine Li who laughed out loud.

But she immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief and turned to look at others cleverly.

Similarly, Emperor Yuan Qing was almost laughing inside, but he still had to maintain his imperial dignity on the surface.

He coughed twice and explained to Huai'an seriously, "Your uncle Prince Yu...is not very convenient to go on stage."

Huai'an laughed, "No wonder Uncle Prince Yu envied Huai'an for cheering for his father."

Lu Yuanjing: “…”

He is not envious at all!

"It's okay. Next time you encounter an area that Uncle Prince Yu is good at, you can ask someone to send a letter to Huai'an. Huai'an will definitely cheer for Uncle Prince Yu."

"Thank you Huai'an," Lu Yuanjing gritted his teeth.

"You're welcome. Huai'an loves helping others, especially those who need help like Uncle Prince Yu."

The little guy puffed out his chest with a look of pride.

All that’s left is to write “Come to me for help” on your forehead.

The smile on Lu Yuanjing's face was gone, and his originally feminine face was now even more gloomy as if ink could drip out of it.

Seeing this, Meng Yunshang gently poked Huai'an's chubby face to remind him, "Take it easy, don't go too far."

It’s not that she was afraid of falling out with Lu Yuanjing, but today’s occasion was not suitable.

Huai'an leaned into Meng Yunshang's arms and acted coquettishly, "I know, mother."

As soon as Huai'an finished speaking, an indifferent voice sounded, "Huai'an is so sharp-tongued, I'm afraid my sister-in-law has to spend a lot of time thinking about him."

Meng Yunshang looked up and happened to meet the gaze of the woman in red clothes beside Lu Yuanjing.

Although she didn't look familiar, Meng Yunshang still easily guessed the man's identity.

Princess Guo of Prince Yu.

Meng Yunshang frowned and chuckled, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Princess Yu. Huai'an has been sweet-mouthed and smart since he was a child, and with the help of my mother and my brother, I, as his mother, can't be more worried."

Everyone knows that Prince Heng has been going to the palace every few days since he was young, which is no different from being raised by the Queen Mother.

When Princess Yu mocked Huai'an, she was actually mocking the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, as soon as Meng Yunshang finished speaking, the Queen Mother looked at Princess Yu with an unfriendly expression.

"Does Guo think I don't know how to teach my children?"

"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare," Prince Yu's face changed, and he knelt down to defend himself, "My daughter-in-law just thinks that Huai'an is still young, and he speaks so aggressively. When he grows up, he may..."

"Is Huai'an being aggressive? He sincerely wants to help Lao Si, is that wrong?"

"Besides, Guo, have you forgotten that it was the Fourth Brother who started this whole thing?"

In other words, even if Lu Yuanjing was targeted, it was because of his impure motives.

Not to mention, he was almost thirty years old and couldn't even argue with a four-year-old baby.

How can I have the face to ask the woman next to me for help?

Guo was speechless when asked by the Queen Mother.

Meng Yunshang chimed in at the right time, "Those who know would say that Princess Yu has deep feelings for Prince Yu, while those who don't would think that Prince Yu and his wife can't even tolerate a four-year-old nephew."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Princess Yu quickly explained, "That's not what I meant!"

The Queen Mother frowned and waved her hand, "Alright, the competition is about to begin. If you want to watch the competition, just be quiet."

Princess Yu stood up indignantly and gave Meng Yunshang a vicious look before sitting back down.

This little bitch is really difficult to deal with.

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "Princess Yu's eyes are not feeling well. Do you need to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Princess Yu: "..."

Does Meng Yunshang have no brains?

Say whatever you say to others!

But when everyone looked at her in surprise, Princess Yu could only deny it with all her might, "No need, I'm fine."

Meng Yunshang chuckled and turned to look at the stadium below as if nothing had happened.

The ceremonial officer presiding over the competition was loudly announcing the rules:

"The competition has always adopted a points system. The Northwest Army, Southwest Army, East Beijing Camp and West Beijing Camp are divided into four teams. Each team sends ten members to participate. The order of the competition is determined by drawing lots."

"Every time you win a game, you get one point. After all the competitions are over, the team with the most points will be our champion. If two teams have the same points, we have the right to request an extra game."

"Next, the first match of the individual competition will begin, with Gu Tang from the Jingxi Camp versus Wu Dang from the Northwestern Army."
