Her voice was very clear and pleasant, as charming as a lark's.
Emperor Sheng An's smile became even more charming: "Princess, there's no need to be so polite. As the ruler of a country, I should take good care of our guests!"
Wueryun smiled and sat directly on the steps next to his dragon throne.
She placed her arms between Emperor Sheng An's knees and looked at him admiringly with her big black eyes.
The other concubines were furious. This Princess Li was really unruly. How could she openly seduce the emperor?
Because the queen is pregnant, she will not attend any banquets.
As for Concubine Zhan, she was banished to the cold palace. Now, the only ones who can accompany the emperor are Concubine Leng and Concubine Min.
The two exchanged glances, both expressing dissatisfaction.
Wueryun didn't care. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yun'er found that your view here is the best. You can have a panoramic view of the entire banquet hall!"
Emperor Sheng An wanted to drive her away, but he didn't know what kind of spices she used, but she actually made him feel dizzy.
He nodded as if possessed by a ghost: "Okay, you can sit next to me and watch the dance. I'll have someone send over another set of tableware!"
Li Delu had no choice but to move a small stool and get a cushion so that Wueryun could sit comfortably.
Emperor Sheng An then spoke: "In order to show our dynasty's welcome to the envoys from the Kingdom of Li, I have specially ordered people to prepare a wonderful program. Let the performance begin now!"
He clapped his hands, and saw several women holding harps stepping into the hall.
When the song ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Wueryun didn't appreciate it seriously. Her eyes were scanning the whole place vigilantly.
It wasn't until she noticed Lin Yiwan that she suddenly stood up.
Because her action was too abrupt, it scared Emperor Sheng An who was standing next to her.
He hurriedly asked: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Wueryun rolled her eyes and said without hesitation, "Yun'er has also prepared a wonderful program for the emperor. I wonder if you would like to enjoy it?"
Emperor Sheng An immediately became interested and quickly said, "Since it was carefully prepared by Her Royal Highness, I am naturally willing to watch it. I just don't know what you are going to perform."
Wueryun raised her chin confidently: "This princess has been learning archery since she was young. It's no exaggeration to say that she can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces!"
Emperor Sheng An understood that he was going to perform archery for him.
He subconsciously asked, "Do we need to prepare a target for Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Wueryun waved her hand and said, "No need. What's the point of shooting a dead thing? This time we'll shoot a living one. I'll find someone and tie this big apple to her head. I'll make her dodge quickly, and I'm sure I can accurately shoot the core of the apple!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Even Min Ao couldn't help but frown. He turned and said something to the old nanny beside him. She quickly walked up to Wueryun and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, when you came here, didn't you tell Prime Minister Min that you were going to perform for Emperor Sheng'an?"
Wueryun bit her lip hard in dissatisfaction and whispered, "Isn't it enough to improvise? Only by making the Emperor of Sheng like me more can we get more practical benefits at the negotiation table. I'm doing this for the sake of Li Country!"
The old nanny didn't say anything else and quickly turned around to report to Min Ao.
After listening to her explanation, Min Ao did not interfere any further.
Emperor Sheng An was overthinking it. He frowned and pondered, "Your Highness, this is truly dangerous. It's not that I don't trust your archery skills, but if that person gets scared, wouldn't that affect your accuracy?"
Wueryun raised her little face and acted coquettishly: "Your Majesty, Yun'er's archery skills can handle any unexpected situation. I promise not to hurt anyone!"
Emperor Sheng An still shook his head: "It's too risky. Let the next noble lady continue to perform. Your Highness, the Princess, just enjoy watching!"
Wu Eryun interrupted without hesitation: "What's the point of just dancing? Or are the people of Sheng Dynasty all cowards? Is the emperor afraid of losing face, so he won't choose anyone to be my sitting duck?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Sheng An's face suddenly darkened.
He was originally infatuated with the Princess of Li, but now he felt a little disgusted.
She actually dared to laugh at the people of Sheng Chao and called them cowards. How outrageous she was!
Wueryun also felt that she had said something wrong, and she quickly tried to make amends: "Your Majesty, Yun'er has been practicing archery since she was a child, just to win the favor of your incomparably brave Majesty. Why don't you even give Yun'er a chance to show her skills?"
She was already beautiful, and now with her pitiful and aggrieved expression, she was simply stunning.
Even the disgust that had just arisen in Emperor Sheng An disappeared, replaced by a warm smile.
After all, who can resist the admiration of a gentle and beautiful woman?
He immediately agreed: "Okay, then let Li Youde be your living target. He is the commander of my imperial guards and he is very brave!"
Li Youde, who was standing at the door with a sword in hand, looked frozen for a moment before he quickly walked up to Wueryun and bowed, "Princess, please!"
Wu Eryun waved his hand in disdain: "What's so good about a grown man? Don't you have any brave noble ladies in your Sheng Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, all the noble ladies lowered their heads nervously.
Oh my god, who would dare to go up and become a sitting target?
If she missed the target, she might lose her life.
They want to excel and bring honor to their family, but they will never risk their lives.
However, Wueryun's eyes passed over them and pointed at Lin Yiwan without hesitation: "It's you!"
Lin Yiwan felt speechless when she saw the sympathetic or gloating looks from the crowd.
It seems that the Princess of Li recognized her and wanted to take revenge on her.
She sat there without moving, because she knew that Emperor Sheng An would never agree.
As expected, Emperor Sheng An, who was sitting on the high throne, immediately stopped him: "Your Highness, how can you let me make the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi a living target? No, I don't agree!"
Wueryun blinked, not expecting her to be of such a respected status.
Is Zhan Yihou the legendary Zhan Yan on the battlefield?
The soldiers of the Li Kingdom have suffered many defeats at his hands!
If he was not so brave and invincible, why would Li Kingdom send her to Sheng Dynasty to marry?
New and old grudges suddenly made her eyes flash with murderous intent.
She then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yun'er has long heard that Marquis Zhan Yi once made unparalleled military achievements on the battlefield. I believe his wife is also a woman who is as brave as a man. It is perfect for her to be a living target!"
Emperor Sheng An immediately interrupted: "If I say no, then it's no!"
Wueryun rolled his eyes and said, "Since the emperor cares so much about the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi, then Yun'er has no choice but to find another noble lady from an aristocratic family!"
I have to say, what she said was really vicious.
It's totally creating hatred for Lin Yiwan!
Her meaning was very clear, that is, Emperor Sheng An cared about Lin Yiwan's life, but did not care about other noble ladies from aristocratic families.
Emperor Sheng An understood her implication and his face turned ashen with anger.
Just when he was about to lose his temper, Zhan Yan suddenly stepped forward and said, "I will be your Highness the Princess's living target!"
