Prince Ji... Uncle?

Mo Weinong looked at Princess Bai Lan, who was urgently walking towards the Prince Ji, with a slightly astonished expression, as she turned her head to look at the Prince Yan with a puzzled expression.

Prince Yan snorted lightly and said, "A year ago, Prince Ji sent an envoy to Great Lie and he once saved Princess Bai Lan's life. Because of this, the Great Lie's Queen is very grateful to him and their relationship is pretty good. "

This was also the indirect reason why Prince Ji's ambition had grown so much over the past year.

Mo Weinong disagreed, "Great Lie has a good relationship with him, but the crown prince and the second prince seem to have a good relationship with you."

"We're about the same age, so it might be easier to communicate with each other."

Prince Yan, are you mocking the fact that Prince Ji is already old?

She laughed, and glanced at Luo Wenyuan, who did not have much enthusiasm for Prince Ji, from the looks of it, the good relationship between Great Lie and Prince Ji was only on the surface right?

"Uncle Prince Ji, I haven't seen you in a year. You are still as healthy as before, you look like you haven't changed at all."

"You sure know how to talk." Prince Ji laughed, looking like he was in a good mood, "You must have worked hard this whole journey, huh? Rest well today, and someday Uncle Prince Ji will accompany you for a stroll in the capital. "

Princess Bai Lan's face was filled with regret. "I'm afraid I won't be able to walk around for the next few days."

"Are you talking about the competition between you and the Female Envoy Mo?"

"Did Uncle Prince Ji hear of it too?"

"How can This King not know of such a major matter?" Prince Ji glanced at Mo Weinong, who was not far away, and laughed, "Bai Lan, you are really too reckless. It's fine if you're good, but what about the others? [Isn't he joking with his life on the line?] For female students, what's the point of competing? Do they really have to compete in this aspect? "

"Compared to the other things, it's meaningless. Just thinking about those zithers makes it seem like there's no meaning to them at all. "In any case, we've already set up a military order. No matter how much you say, it's useless. When the time comes …" The two of them seemed to not have any enmity between nations. Instead, they were just watching the elders questioning and explaining to the juniors, "I just don't know, when the time comes, does Uncle Prince Ji wish for me to win, or does he hope that Female Envoy Mo wins?"

She smiled slyly as she spoke.

Prince Ji looked at her helplessly, "Ah, you, what question are you asking? Uncle Prince Ji is a duke from the Great Xuan Country. "

When these words came out, all the officials present couldn't help but nod their heads, automatically understanding his words as a hope that Great Xuan Country would win.

Mo Weinong laughed coldly, it was strange that the Prince Ji wished for him to win.

Princess Bai Lan was dissatisfied. It seemed that she still wanted to say something, but suddenly, she heard He Gu's shrill voice, "The emperor has arrived."

Everyone stopped their conversations and retracted their gazes from Prince Ji and Princess Bai Lan.

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at the hall, and said while smiling, "Today, the envoys of the Great Lie have come. We will set up a banquet to welcome all of you into the world, and everyone will have a taste of our Great Xuan Country's fine wine and delicacies. We will definitely not disappoint everyone."

"Long live the Emperor."

Princess Bai Lan and Mo Weinong went forward to pay their respects, then left for the harem.

Most of the female servants were already seated in the imperial harem. When they saw the two of them walking over together, they couldn't help but stare at them unblinkingly.

One was the famed beauty, Princess Bai Lan, while the other one was the Female Envoy Mo who had just popped up to become the talk of the town.

The two of them were elegant and refined, and standing together, they made people feel ashamed of their inferiority.

However, there were also many people who were silently guessing who would have the better appearance.

"Princess and Female Envoy Mo are here? Come and sit. I have long heard that the princess looks like a Heavenly Immortal. Look at these two beauties standing together, it's none of our business. " The Queen smiled.

The wives of imperial concubines seated by the side all began to laugh in agreement.

Princess Bai Lan had originally been rather happy when she heard it, but she did not expect the empress to change the topic by putting her and Mo Weinong together for a talk. She was unhappy in her heart, but she still maintained the smile on her face and said, "Empress, you are flattering me."

Mo Weinong secretly laughed. The Empress clearly knew that Bai Lan cared about comparing the two of them together, yet she still said that on purpose. Obviously, she did not like what she was doing today.

After the two took their seats, the empress introduced the people beside her.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Mo Weinong saw Mrs Cui and the old lady nearby, both of them nodded to her.

Mo Weinong nodded, and did not say a word. She was still very low-key. She wouldn't take the initiative to speak up unless she was the one to do so. What's more, there was the empress's home ground, so she just cared about eating.

However, as she ate, she felt a few sharp gazes land on her, causing her to feel as if she was being pierced in the back.

Mo Weinong squinted and looked over without leaving a trace. She saw that Consort De and Yun Xiao's eyes were extremely cold and there was one more person … Yu Shuixian?

She curled her lips. Yu Shuixian was sitting further away, and with her identity, she shouldn't be able to talk to him.

"..." I heard that Princess Bai Lan and Female Envoy Mo are going to compete. Consort De suddenly asked.

Actually, everyone had already heard of this matter, but no one brought it up. The majority of the people did not have much confidence in Mo Weinong. Just Princess Bai Lan having a King of Beasts was already enough to increase her chances of winning.

Furthermore, Princess Bai Lan herself was extraordinary.

The reason why the Consort De was mentioned at this time was only because she wanted to laugh at Mo Weinong.

Princess Bai Lan replied with a smile, "Tomorrow, we'll draw lots to decide on the girl accompanying you. We'll choose a mountain then, then we can begin."

"Draw?" But all of us here can be selected? " someone asked.

Mo Weinong was startled, that's right, she had forgotten about one thing. If everyone present could be selected, then wasn't it also possible for someone to be selected?

Although she was completely reliant on luck to draw lots, who knew if her luck would be any worse?

Therefore, before Princess Bai Lan could reply, she spoke first, "That is not so. Usually, those who accompany you are unmarried women who are around the same age as us."

Hearing this, many people secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

They did not want to enter the deep mountains, who knew if they would lose their lives there. Especially those who had just gotten married, they felt extremely fortunate.

However, the other girls, who were still young misses, were a bit flustered. If the number of people drawing lots decreased, then the chances of them getting selected were even higher.

Unlike the Female Envoy, very few people were willing to participate in this competition.

Mo Weinong looked at the expressions of those people and curled her lips. She had no other choice, if she had to blame someone, she could only be a good girl, Princess Bai Lan.

"However, Princess, I do have another suggestion. I wonder if Princess will agree to it?"
