If Consort Han really chooses the Fifth Prince to fight...
The Yuan Dynasty was destined to make a fool of itself.
"Since it's a family banquet, let the children eat and drink in peace. Why bother with competitions and make the atmosphere tense?" Emperor Yuanwu's eyes darkened as he picked up his wine cup and poured himself a drink.
"My beloved concubine only mentioned it casually and didn't think it through. If Emperor Yuanwu is afraid, then this competition can be canceled." After saying this, King Xia glanced at Consort Han.
The two exchanged a smile, their lips curled in provocation and contempt.
Emperor Yuanwu's fingertips trembled slightly as he watched this scene.
When Wu Jixiang picked up the wine pot to refill his glass, he stopped him with his hand.
Mu Junhan stood up, crossed his arms, and said to Emperor Yuanwu, "Father, since the King of Xia and Consort Han are so interested, your son is willing to represent the Yuan Kingdom and compete with the Crown Prince of Xia."
When Emperor Yuanwu saw that Mu Junhan had stepped forward, his expression finally softened a bit.
"Since the Yuan Kingdom has no crown prince, let our second prince compete with the Xia Kingdom's crown prince," Emperor Yuanwu said sullenly.
King Xia frowned: "Since it is a competition, and we have come from afar, shall we designate a prince to compete against our Crown Prince?"
Emperor Yuanwu had heard Mu Qianqian's thoughts, so he naturally knew what kind of medicine the King of Xia was up to.
What does it mean to designate a prince?
He simply said he wanted the Fifth Prince to compete.
Emperor Yuanwu's hand clenched into a fist at his side.
We've really spoiled Xia Guotai all these years.
That's why this Prince Yuan dared to utter such arrogant words in this grand hall.
They actually had the audacity to deliberately embarrass the Yuan Dynasty.
"What's wrong? Is Emperor Yuanwu afraid?" King Xia sneered.
"Afraid?" He laughed twice, as if he had heard a funny joke. "Are you suggesting we be afraid of you, the prince of a barbarian country?"
Mu Qianqian: ...
[Father!]
Calm down!
Don't fall for this King Xia's tricks!
Can't you see that he's deliberately trying to provoke you?
[Father, oh Father!]
He said that on purpose so that my fifth brother would come out and compete with the Crown Prince of Xia.
"Alright, since the Emperor of Yuan is afraid, let's not compete!" King Xia's lips curled into a sly smile.
"Insolence!" Emperor Yuanwu's fingertips trembled with rage.
If he hadn't wanted to protect Mu Junxi, how could he have suffered such a humiliating disgrace?
Mu Junchen hurriedly stood up: "Father, I am also willing to represent the Yuan Kingdom in the war."
At this time, Lian Yiguan was at odds with Mu Junchen and Mu Junhan.
But in the face of national humiliation, their petty grudges instantly became insignificant.
Mu Junyao clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "Father, as the eldest prince of Yuan, I request to compete with the crown prince of Xia."
The two princes stood up.
King Xia remained unmoved, and the contemptuous smile on his face made Emperor Yuanwu tremble with anger.
King Xia calmly poured himself a cup of wine, took a small sip, and then said, "I have long heard of the erudition and talent of the Fifth Prince of Yuan Kingdom in Xia Kingdom. How about we let the Fifth Prince compete with my son?"
“The Crown Prince of Yuan has already been acknowledged and married. This Fifth Prince is not yet an adult, and the two are more than seven years apart. Isn’t it deliberately making things difficult for them to compete like this?” Mu Junhan’s eyes trembled.
This is outrageous!
Consort Shu stared at the ugly face of the King of Xia, her lips trembling with anger.
