Chapter 495 Su Hanchu takes the lead
After saying that, he smiled sarcastically at Prince Beiyi and walked towards Jun Moye's position.
Emperor Tianyuan winked at Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping continued to speak loudly.
"The competition continues, next one..."
The third prince also stood up and participated in the competition.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye watched the competition while drinking tea and eating cakes.
It wasn't until everyone who was interested in participating had participated that it began to get dark.
At this time, Emperor Tianyuan nodded to Zhao Ping beside him.
Zhao Ping announced loudly.
"Today's banquet ends here. The first place in archery is won by City Lord Su, who hit the bull's eye with ten rings. Next is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is on par with Prince Beiyi, and then His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan..."
After Zhao Ping finished reading out the rankings, everyone congratulated Su Hanchu.
"Congratulations to City Lord Su for taking first place..."
"Congratulations, City Lord Su..."
Su Hanchu responded with a smile.
“Thank you so much…”
Soon a young eunuch came to Su Hanchu with a tray.
Emperor Tianyuan said with a smile.
"City Lord Su, since you are the first place winner today, you naturally deserve the prize. However, the archery competition is mostly men, so the prize is a rare ox horn bow. I think that although you are an excellent archer, you are also a woman. Therefore, in addition to giving you this ox horn bow, I will also give you a Phoenix Nirvana Hairpin."
The first thing that catches your eye is naturally the ox horn bow.
This precious bow is about four feet long, with a shiny black body inlaid with bone products, and is low-key and luxurious.
The middle part of the bow is covered with cork, and the two sides are covered with green shark skin, with "sun" and "moon" patterns engraved on them. It is indeed a rare and good bow.
The second is the Phoenix Nirvana Hairpin.
Inspired by phoenix feathers, this hairpin is crafted from precious materials such as gold, silver, and gemstones. The head of the hairpin is carved into a lifelike image of a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
A golden light flashed in Su Hanchu's eyes. This Emperor Tianyuan was really generous.
Then he put on a proper smile on his face.
"Thank you, Emperor Tianyuan."
Emperor Tianyuan smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"Compared to calling me Emperor Tianyuan, I would rather hear you continue to follow A Ye in calling me Uncle Emperor."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"If there is an opportunity in the future, Han Chu will naturally be willing."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan smiled and nodded slightly, then stood up and announced.
"Everyone, today's birthday banquet is over. I hope you all enjoy yourself. There are many fun things to do in Tianyuan Imperial City. You can have fun in the Imperial City. The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Ministry of Rites will accompany you on your tour."
As the crowd dispersed.
Jun Moxu walked towards Su Hanchu step by step.
Thinking of Jun Moxu's dirty disease, Su Hanchu couldn't help but take a step back and greet him in disgust.
"Prince Tianyuan."
Jun Moxu looked at Su Hanchu with a bit of heat in his eyes.
"Hanchu, congratulations on taking first place."
Su Hanchu nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Prince Tianyuan."
Jun Moxu looked at her face and said with a smile.
"Han Chu, the words 'Prince Tianyuan' seem too unfamiliar. Why don't you just call me Mo Xu..."
Jun Moye's eyes grew colder, and he took a step forward to stand in front of Su Hanchu.
"How can anyone casually address the Crown Prince of Tianyuan? As the crown prince of Tianyuan, you still need to be careful with your words and actions. My wife is in charge of Baise City and is the Lord of Baise City. The Crown Prince of Tianyuan should address my wife as Lord Su."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moxu glanced at Jun Moye with disdain.
"This seems to be a matter between me and Hanchu. As for your health, Master Jun, you'd better stay at home and take care of yourself. As a man, even if you can't help your wife, you shouldn't drag her down."
Jun Moye's face darkened completely when he heard this, as if a storm was about to come.
Su Hanchu held his hand tightly.
Jun Moye held her hand back.
Suddenly Jun Moye sneered, his voice full of sarcasm and disdain.
"Prince Tianyuan is absolutely right. As a man, I shouldn't burden my wife. But even when I was recuperating in the mansion yesterday, I heard some rumors..."
He glanced at Jun Moxu's lower abdomen meaningfully.
"I heard that the Crown Prince of Tianyuan, despite being the heir to the throne, led a promiscuous life. Not only did he contract a serious disease, but he also caused great harm to Chu Liangyuan in the mansion. I wonder if the Crown Princess, who is the Crown Prince's wife, has escaped this misfortune. Chu Liangyuan has attempted suicide several times in the Bai residence..."
Jun Moxu didn't expect that Jun Moye would dare to spread this rumor in such a public place. His face was slightly angry, and he looked at Jun Moye with cold and warning eyes.
"Jun Moye, you are the emperor of Tianyuan. You should know what to say and what not to say. Be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself. After all, it has not been easy for you to get to where you are today..."
How could Su Hanchu tolerate her husband being threatened? A calculating smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Prince Tianyuan, my husband has been ill since he helped you defend the northwest. It's getting late today, and he needs to go back and rest. As the crown prince, you should be grateful for the battle we fought."
Seeing Su Hanchu defending Jun Moye so much, and thinking that Su Hanchu was standing up for Jun Moye whether it was horse training or archery, Jun Moxu felt even more angry and jealous.
"Han Chu, I think you have always been a smart person. You should choose someone who can help you, instead of standing in front of a man as a woman. You will get tired after a long time..."
When Su Hanchu heard this, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and then he spoke with a forced smile.
"Prince Tianyuan is a man who reminds people. Thank you for your reminder. Speaking of which, I feel that you are a little unkind. What is your intention in bringing a woman with a heart disease to my side and serving her tea and water?"
Jun Moxu spoke hurriedly after hearing this.
"Han Chu, I can explain this matter..."
Su Hanchu interrupted him coldly.
"Prince Tianyuan, there's no need to explain. As a woman, I sympathize with Chu Liangyuan, who was infected with a disease by her husband. However, my Bai residence is not a shelter. It's getting late today, and I'm anxious for my husband to go back and rest. Tomorrow at noon, I'll trouble you, Prince Tianyuan, to go to the Bai residence and take Chu Liangyuan, who was infected with a disease by you, back home."
Every word Su Hanchu said revealed that he was the one who infected Chu Liangyuan with the dirty disease. The ministers and even the historians who passed by one after another looked at him with strange eyes. Jun Moxu felt like he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but he had to explain again. After all, he was still thinking about Su Hanchu's entry.
"Hanchu, listen to me. I don't have that disease. It's that bitch Qiu Yue who's been indecent..."
Su Hanchu would never give him the chance to shift the blame onto others, and continued speaking with sarcasm.
"Prince Tianyuan, Qiu Yue is your concubine. She's not allowed to leave the house without your and the Crown Princess's permission. Now, in order to escape the bad reputation of having a disease, you're framing yourself as Liangyuan. Are you trying to tell the world that the Crown Prince's Mansion doesn't regulate concubines' affairs?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Moxu felt that whatever he said now would be wrong, and spoke with a frown.
"Han Chu..."
At this time, Lin Hanzhi came over with her maid.
"City Lord Su..."
