Chapter 292 This is exactly what I intend.
However, this was a deception.
"Never mind what you're hunting for, just tell me the example I gave, who really won?"
Murong Jing said, "You win."
"So you're really only looking at quantity? That's a bit of a loophole. If that's the case, everyone will just go for the easiest and least strenuous hunts."
Seeing her earnest and concerned expression, Murong Jing said, "The reason I counted the win as yours is because all the hunted animals were counted as yours."
"..."
So, has Murong Jing switched back to his expressionless, romantic tone?
Su Mowan coughed lightly and said, "Then let's change it. You hunted a tiger, and the King of Chu hunted two eagles. Who wins?"
"Naturally, I, the king, will win."
Su Mowan blinked: "Why?"
Murong Jing turned his head and glanced at her indifferently.
“First of all, there are no tigers within dozens of miles of the hunting grounds. If I can hunt one, it means I am no ordinary person. Secondly, it is impossible for the King of Chu to hunt two eagles. His archery skills are so poor that he can't even catch a rabbit, let alone an eagle.”
"..."
Why won't you answer the question properly!
Su Mowan strongly suspected that this guy was doing it on purpose. Because the example she gave mentioned the King of Chu.
Since Murong Jing was going on and on, she decided not to ask any further questions.
At this moment, two personal eunuchs carried a heavy chair onto the platform. Emperor Moyao strode onto the platform, lifted the hem of his bright yellow robe, and sat down with an imposing air.
Clearing his throat, Emperor Moyao addressed the assembled ministers below the platform: "I will not repeat the rules, as I presume you all know them. We will set a time limit of one hour. After one hour, bring your prey back here, and the winner will be judged by everyone."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a man who looked like a military officer boldly asked, "Will Your Majesty also join us this year for a taste of the thrill?"
Standing on the side of the platform, Su Mowan looked over upon hearing this and realized that the speaker was the same talented person who had said "Congratulations to Minister Tang and Minister Mu on their marriage" at the palace banquet that night. She immediately smiled.
Emperor Moyao waved his hand and said with great pride, "Of course I'm going to have some fun too! As the old saying goes, 'Old age is no excuse for weakness'!"
"..."
The ministers all bowed their heads in agreement.
Su Mowan glanced around and found that there were quite a few familiar faces today. The closest ones were Su Ruofeng, Tang Minzhi, and Xue Ting, the ones a little further away were Shen Muyao and Tang Jingzhi, and the ones furthest away were Fu Changge and Mu Qingchen.
I still haven't seen Shangguan Qingqi.
Fu Changge and Mu Qingchen were whispering to each other, and judging from their expressions, they were about to cause trouble.
Su Mowan scoffed inwardly. They're in cahoots! A den of snakes and rats!
It was not expected that Chi Xuan would not be seen, as he was not from an official family and was not qualified to participate in the hunting activity.
Just as Su Mowan was about to look away, she saw Su Ruofeng looking at her with a joyful smile on his face.
After returning a smile, Su Mowan noticed that Tang Minzhi, who was standing next to Su Ruofeng, was also looking over.
Tang Minzhi paused for a moment, then gave her a faint smile before quickly looking away.
Su Mowan actually had a good impression of Tang Minzhi. Tang Minzhi was somewhat similar to the King of Chu, but Tang Minzhi was more shy than gentle, while the King of Chu was more indecisive.
Between the two, she actually admired Tang Minzhi more.
There aren't many children of officials who are this pure anymore.
Seeing Su Ruofeng with that carefree smile again, Su Mowan wondered if his relationship with Fu Yingli had been resolved.
Just then, Emperor Moyao waved his hand and ordered the palace guards to bring up a large number of bows and arrows, which were then distributed.
There's a rule here: you can bring your own bow, but you must use the arrows that are provided by the company.
Su Mowan had only just found out, so she quietly asked Murong Jing, "What's the logic behind this?"
Because she was pregnant, Su Mowan was the third person to be seated in the entire room, after Emperor Mo Yao and Murong Jing.
This treatment is truly unique.
Therefore, she attracted a lot of attention. She leaned closer and asked Murong Jing a question, which, in other people's eyes, was simply a sign of their deep affection and doting on each other.
Then, considering that Su Mobai was the only person in the entire court who didn't have to kneel before Emperor Moyao, everyone had their own thoughts.
So several young men who were close to Su Ruofeng started trying to get closer to him.
Mu Qingchen glanced at Su Mowan, then looked away and spoke to Fu Changge beside her.
Neither of them looked well.
Su Mowan rolled her eyes. Could it be that Mu Qingchen really wanted to go against the General's Mansion to the end, all for Fu Yingli?
Regardless of Su Mowan's relationship with the General's Mansion, just considering her relationship with Su Ruofeng, Su Mowan would not stand idly by.
If Mu Qingchen dares to cause any trouble, she will definitely not let this person off the hook.
Thinking of this, Su Mowan secretly scanned the surrounding woods, but still couldn't find Shangguan Qingqi, and immediately became a little anxious.
What happened to our supposed allies? What happened to teaching Mu Qingchen a lesson later?
Where did they go at this crucial moment? Did they go scout out the location beforehand?
Although Su Mowan's glances around were discreet enough, they did not escape Murong Jing's eyes, as he was constantly watching her every move out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing her eyes darting around, he frowned and asked in a low voice, "Who are you looking for?"
Su Mowan was startled and said, "I wasn't looking for anyone, I was just looking around to see if there were any good places to go."
Hearing her say that, Murong Jing frowned even more. "You want to go?"
Su Mowan hadn't originally intended to, but Murong Jing's question suddenly piqued her interest. She turned to him and said, "How about we go have some fun? Together?"
Su Mowan hadn't been active for a long time and was getting a little itchy. She wasn't expecting to catch many prey; she just wanted to have some fun.
I thought Murong Jing would definitely say expressionlessly, "I won't do something so boring."
To everyone's surprise, Murong Jing nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
As Murong Jing spoke, his gaze was fixed straight ahead. Su Mowan followed his gaze and saw that the King of Chu's men were drawing bows and arrows.
Su Huayue, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, was standing behind the King of Chu, presumably also going to join the fun.
Su Mowan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She knew Su Huayue's true capabilities better than anyone. She dressed up in a certain way, but she didn't have much real skill.
Just as she was thinking this, Su Huayue seemed to sense her gaze and looked straight at her, their eyes meeting.
Su Mowan wasn't guilty at all. Instead, in front of Su Huayue, she turned to Murong Jing and whispered, "Hey, we can't lose to those two on the other side later, or it will be too embarrassing."
Murong Jing said calmly, "That's natural."
These four simple words exude absolute confidence and domineering presence.
Just then, the sound of hooves came from the woods. Everyone turned to look and saw a man and a horse galloping towards them.
After stopping, Shangguan Qingqi, dressed in white, sat upright on his horse and bowed to Emperor Moyao from afar, a smile on his face, and said, "Qingqi is late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Moyao asked with a smile, "Have you prepared everything I instructed you to do earlier?"
