The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

The reason why Liu Ruyi chose the fifth prince was because she felt that although the second prince was now the crown prince, the emperor obviously favored the fifth prince and Concubine Yu more.

Furthermore, the Second Prince was too gentle and unfit to be emperor. So, she decided to take a gamble. Even though she knew she wouldn't be the Fifth Prince's legal wife, her goal was to become a concubine. She believed that with her abilities, once she entered the palace, she would surely be more favored by the prince than those young ladies from aristocratic families.

Few young ladies in the capital could ride and shoot, and even if they were dressed in riding clothes and sitting on a horse, they would still look a bit out of place. Liu Ruyi, who was clearly skilled in riding and shooting, naturally stood out in such a group.

The young ladies were all jealous when they saw that she had attracted the attention of the princes. Liu Ruyi's eyes were full of mockery, and she looked down on these young ladies who never left their homes.

She was determined to win the first prize today. Liu Ruyi looked towards the men and immediately saw the most handsome Fifth Prince.

Liu Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but look forward to what would happen tonight. She knew that she couldn't become the prince's consort just by being good at riding and shooting.

So she had already prepared a backup plan, and she would definitely get what she wanted after the matter was accomplished.

Just when Liu Ruyi was lost in her own thoughts, she suddenly heard exclamations from all around. She looked up and saw Wenrou wearing a white horse and walking slowly towards her.

Huo Yunting, who was supposed to be on the man's side, was staying next to Wenrou, seemingly giving her some instructions.

Liu Ruyi had never seen Huo Yunting like this before. Although they were good friends in the military camp, Huo Yunting never showed any sympathy even after knowing that she was a woman.

It’s not like now, where he follows Wenrou closely and tells her the precautions of hunting with concern all the time.

Liu Ruyi felt angry and could not help but say, "Yun Ting, bows and arrows are useless in the hunting grounds. The princess usually stays in the boudoir and is probably not good at riding and shooting. Why bother to join in the fun? You should persuade the princess." Liu Ruyi almost said out loud that the princess was pretending.

Her words immediately offended the ladies around her. After all, they were just there to pretend and join in the fun.

Wenrou turned her head and looked at Liu Ruyi. She had lost her patience with the other party's repeated provocations, so she raised her head and said slowly, "Miss Liu seems to be very good at riding and shooting. Why don't we have a competition to see who can win the women's championship and who is just pretending?"

Liu Ruyi snorted inwardly, feeling that Wenrou was overestimating her own abilities. However, she said, "If Princess wants to compete, I will naturally accompany you. However, if Princess wants to compete, please be fair and don't use those coercive means."

No matter how dumb Huo Yunting was, he could still hear Liu Ruyi's sarcasm. He frowned and said unhappily, "Miss Liu, don't think so badly of others."

When Liu Ruyi saw Huo Yunting calling her Miss Liu to avoid suspicion, she pursed her lips and the resentment in her heart grew even greater.

The reason why she dared to disrespect the princess was that she felt Huo Yunting would definitely protect her because of his previous kindness.

At this moment, the horn signaling the start of the hunt sounded. Wenrou whipped her horse whip and rushed out, with Liu Ruyi following closely behind.

In order to let the owners have fun, the hunting grounds will prepare prey in advance and release them when the hunt begins.

Whoever shoots the most prey at the end gets the first prize. To be fair, women and men each get one first prize.

As soon as Wenrou and Liu Ruyi set out, they both fell in love with a red fox.

Liu Ruyi shot the first arrow, but the fox dodged it. Seeing this, Wenrou drew her bow, narrowed her eyes, and quickly shot the arrow.

The fox dodged again. Liu Ruyi was about to mock it when Wenrou's arrow seemed to have predicted the fox's movement and hit it directly.

Huo Yunting rode up on his horse and saw this scene, and couldn't help but exclaimed "good".

Then Wenrou gave him more surprises. It seemed that Wenrou's riding and shooting skills were no worse than Liu Ruyi who had been on the battlefield, and the prey she caught was much better than Liu Ruyi's.

Huo Yunting looked at Wenrou with sparkling eyes, and the love in his eyes could not be hidden.

Wenrou couldn't stand Huo Yunting's clingy attitude and couldn't help but say, "Young General, you've been staying by my side all day. I'm afraid you won't get the first place."

When Huo Yunting heard this, he was afraid that Wenrou would look down on him, so he quickly said, "Rou Rou, don't worry. Even if we leave now, the medal will be mine. Let the guards follow you, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he spurred his horse and ran into the woods.

Wenrou shook her head and felt that although Huo Yunting was a victorious general on the battlefield, he still had the heart of a young man.

However, after the hunt was over, Wenrou and Huo Yunting won the first prize.

The emperor looked at his daughter, who was as capable as any man, and laughed heartily. "I heard that you, Roujia, learned your riding and archery skills from the Crown Prince? Not bad, not bad. But your master is no match for Yun Ting."

Seeing this, Huo Yunting quickly said, "The prince is an excellent archer and horseman. I just happened to have more prey than usual, so I won by a narrow margin."

The Crown Prince had a calm expression. However, a few princes wanted to win the first prize and show off their achievements, but Huo Yunting snatched it away from them, so they felt that Huo Yunting was ungrateful.

"My brothers all learned their riding and archery skills from famous generals. Today, Yun Ting and I made a bet to see who would win first place. I didn't expect him to be lucky enough to get what he wanted today." Wen Rou said. She could see that Huo Yunting's winning the first place had displeased the prince.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince also said: "Young General Huo has been on the battlefield himself, so it is only natural that he won the first place. With such soldiers, our dynasty can have a stable border."

When the prince finished speaking, the emperor applauded repeatedly. The matter was finally over.

Liu Ruyi was furious when she saw Wenrou and Huo Yunting stealing the show while she remained largely unknown. She had hunted only slightly fewer prey than Wenrou, but because she hadn't taken first place, no one paid any attention.

However, she thought of today's plan and suppressed her anger. In the evening, everyone gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing. It was a rare occasion that everyone broke with the palace rules.

The people in the enclosure also brought in a lot of wild game for the masters in the capital to taste.

Huo Yunting sat next to Wenrou, and couldn't help but feel moved when he saw the men and women dancing together in front of the campfire.

He looked at Wenrou several times, and seeing that she had no intention of dancing, he said embarrassedly: "Rou Rou, do you want to dance?"

Wenrou turned around and saw Huo Yunting's eagerness to try, and couldn't help but smile and nodded. Then she was pulled by Huo Yunting to the campfire and jumped up freely.

At first, Wenrou was reluctant to let go, but as she danced, she couldn't help but feel happy. Huo Yunting held her in his arms, and she couldn't help but smile happily on her face.
