Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 293 Brother-in-law, Third Sister-in-law

Everyone was stunned.

What does His Majesty mean by this? What did he instruct Shangguan Qingqi to prepare in private?

Even Su Mowan was curious. She hadn't seen Shangguan Qingqi before; had he been sent on a mission by Emperor Moyao?

But what task did Emperor Moyao absolutely have to assign to Shangguan Qingqi? Couldn't someone else have done it?

After all, Emperor Moyao brought at least a hundred, if not a thousand, guards from the palace.

At this moment, the ministers thought to themselves: Judging from the way he is being given such an important position, could Shangguan Qingqi be the next imperial son-in-law?

Although there were many rumors before, the gossip that the Seventh Princess dislikes Shangguan Qingqi is now common knowledge. Could the two of them really make it work?

Emperor Mo Yao didn't care what his ministers were thinking. He immediately waved his hand and said loudly, "Those of you who want to watch the show, stay here. Those who want to join in the fun, come with me!"

As Emperor Mo Yao spoke, he stepped down from the platform, and immediately a group of about thirty guards followed behind him.

When they reached the front, Emperor Moyao suddenly turned around and instructed, "I would like to remind you, be sure not to leave the hunting grounds."

The eager young men, their faces beaming with joy, were taken aback by this statement and bowed their heads in response.

The hunting grounds are fenced off, and anyone with eyes will not easily cross the boundary.

However, the fact that Emperor Moyao brought up the well-known rules again at this time makes one wonder if there is another meaning behind it.

Emperor Mo Yao mounted his steed, which was clearly no ordinary horse. It immediately pawed the ground and snorted loudly twice.

The twenty or thirty guards behind him also mounted their horses.

Turning around and pulling on the reins, Emperor Moyao said to his three sons, "King Qin, King Chu, and King Jin, if you are interested, you may come along as well."

The Prince of Jin, being the only one of the three who was alone, responded the most enthusiastically.

He called out loudly, "Father, you go first, I will be right there!"

Emperor Moyao gave him a smile that was both indulgent and helpless, and finally only told him to be careful before riding off.

At this point, Emperor Moyao left, and the two imperial concubines and the civil officials who had been watching the spectacle were finally able to sit down.

The two imperial concubines had their own seats, while each minister was given a thin cushion similar to a futon, which was no different from sitting on the floor.

After Consort Shen sat down, she looked at her son with a smug expression and instructed him, "You can have fun, but don't forget your father's instructions. Be careful."

These words were clearly intentional; Consort Shen was showing off how much Emperor Moyao loved her son.

Consort Xiao chuckled and turned to her son and daughter-in-law, saying, "You two should also be careful when you're playing. Prince Chu, keep a close eye on Hua Yue."

This was the first time that Consort Xiao had shown concern and closeness to Su Huayue in front of so many people. The word "Huayue" made Su Huayue, who had been expressionless, immediately show a flattered smile.

The King of Chu responded with a faint "Yes."

In comparison, His Highness Prince Qin's side seems rather forlorn, since the Empress didn't come and there was no one to offer any instructions or advice.

At this time, several ministers' sons went to say goodbye to their fathers before setting off, and the ministers gave them a series of instructions.

Of course, most of the instructions were to make sure you show your skills and win first place.

Just as Su Mowan was about to ask Murong Jing when they would depart, she caught a glimpse of the King and Queen of Chu approaching.

Just as the King and Queen of Chu were about to arrive, Su Mowan noticed a slight change in their expressions, followed by Su Mobai's voice from behind.

"Your Highness, would you like to go have some fun too? Why don't we go together?"

Su Mobai's words preempted the others, causing the Chu King and his wife, who had arrived a step behind, to stiffen slightly once again.

Su Mowan could clearly sense Su Huayue's fear of Su Mobai. At this moment, she couldn't understand why Su Huayue had the audacity to scheme against her in the first place if she was so afraid of Su Mobai.

Aren't you afraid of Su Mobai's revenge?

Although the King of Chu was a step behind, he spoke up at this moment. "If Third Brother is interested, how about coming with me? It would be good to have someone to look after you."

In fact, the King of Chu's words were a humble expression, meaning that he was asking the King of Qin to look after him.

Unfortunately, His Highness the Prince of Qin seemed not to understand and said rather bluntly, "No need, I have Mo Wan to take care of me."

"..."

Seeing that the King of Chu was speechless, Su Mowan silently sent him a "I can't respond to what you're saying" emoji.

Su Huayue seemed to want to say something, but when her gaze fell on Su Mowan and Su Mobai behind the Prince of Qin, she forced her open mouth shut again.

There was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Su Mobai suddenly chuckled, straightened Su Mowan's fox fur collar, and said, "Since the King of Chu has sincerely invited me, I will find someone else to accompany me. You are all in pairs, and it's not appropriate for me, a lone man, to join in the fun. By the way, you must take good care of His Highness the Prince of Qin. Of course, don't forget to take care of yourself either. I'll take my leave now."

After Su Mobai finished speaking, he gave the King of Qin a look and headed towards the front of the procession. Su Mowan followed his back and saw Tang Jingzhi reining in his horse and waiting in place.

Su Mobai and Tang Jingzhi were hanging out together, giving Su Mowan the feeling that the two were up to something.

Especially since Su Mobai had previously brought Tang Jingzhi to chat with Murong Jing.

Could Tang Jingzhi be one of Su Mobai's men?

Su Mowan felt as if she had guessed something incredible. If that were true, it would explain why Su Ruofeng had defeated Tang Jingzhi during the martial arts exam.

Su Mobai swiftly and gracefully mounted his horse, then turned back and smiled.

Su Mowan secretly scoffed at the sight. There were no young women or wives here, only men. Who were they trying to impress with their flirtatious behavior?

The people left quickly, and the space suddenly felt much emptier.

Su Mowan glanced at the King and Queen of Chu standing opposite her, smiled, and then looked down at Murong Jing, saying, "Since my brother-in-law has invited us, shall we go together?"

Su Mowan's use of the word "brother-in-law" successfully annoyed the King of Chu, but it displeased the King of Qin.

Murong Jing glanced at the King of Chu, whose face was stiff, and turned to lecture Su Mowan, "What brother-in-law? You've messed up the order."

So Su Mowan readily agreed, "Ahem, I misspoke. Your Highness means that the Prince of Chu should call me Third Sister-in-law, is that right?"

The faces of the King and Queen of Chu became even more stiff.

Especially Su Huayue, since the King of Chu has to call Su Mowan "Third Sister-in-law," doesn't she also have to call her "Third Sister-in-law"?

She is Su Mowan's elder sister!

Pretending not to see the embarrassment and awkwardness of the King and Queen of Chu, Su Mowan then said to Murong Jing, "Since the King of Chu is so interested, how about we place a bet?"

Murong Jing raised his eyes.

"What's the stake?"

"It's simple. Since it's a hunt, it's a competition to see who catches the most. The loser has to roast the animals tonight, and the winner just has to wait to eat. What do you think?"

Su Mowan looked at Murong Jing with anticipation.

His Highness the King of Qin nodded: "I think it's good. Can you grill it?"

Su Mowan shook her head: "So we have to win."

The King and Queen of Chu: "..."

Before they even agreed to the competition, they were already imagining the outcome right in front of them!
