The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Han Bingjie defended Mu Yan purely out of pity at first, but now seeing her superb riding and archery skills, her ability to find ways to break through adversity, and her spirit of not panicking at all when facing enemy attacks, but waiting for the right moment to strike, all she can feel is admiration for her.

"You are quite good at riding and archery. Did the loyal and brave Marquis teach you?"

Mu Yan nodded. Her riding and archery skills were indeed taught by her grandfather himself, but her current level was the result of her training on the battlefield in her previous life.

"It's time for us to get our victory prize." The three of them smiled at each other, with Lin Shishi smiling the happiest. She was the original legitimate daughter, but had been suppressed by a concubine's daughter for so long. Today she was finally able to beat her fairly. From what happened before, she understood that the more she gave in and the more tolerant she was, the more others would trample her into the dirt. Only by becoming strong could she protect herself and the people around her.

When Mu Yan and the other two arrived at the table where the Crown Prince and the princes were resting, they found that Wang Peiru and others had already arrived. Wang Peiru had a gloomy face, Lin Shishi looked unwilling, and Fang Yuwei had her eyebrows lowered and her eyes slightly red.

With Wang Peiru's personality of biting whoever she catches, she would definitely blame all the reasons for her loss on Fang Yuwei and say some sarcastic words to her.

Mu Yan thinks that he is not a kind-hearted person, so he will not sympathize with her. It is her own choice who to help, and if she makes the wrong choice, she has to bear the consequences herself. She can only wish her own luck and not go back to the old path of her previous life.

Even though Wang Peiru was unwilling, she still had to admit her mistake.

She walked up to Mu Yan and the others and said through gritted teeth, "Miss Mu, I apologize for offending you today. I admit that what you said does make sense."

"What? Sorry, Miss Wang, your voice was too soft and I didn't hear it. Please say it again." Mu Yan glanced at her coldly.

Hearing this, everyone covered their mouths and chuckled.

This Miss Mu is really sinister.

Wang Peiru was even more embarrassed by the ridicule of the crowd. Mu Yan's words clearly made her a clown to be laughed at by everyone. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her chest, clenched her hands into fists, gritted her teeth and shouted again, "I admit that what Miss Mu said today is right."

"Ms. Wang, since you know that your opinion is wrong, then go back and read more books to avoid making a fool of yourself like you did today." Mu Yan was so cruel that he not only made her admit her mistake, but also ridiculed her harshly in public. This was to serve as a reminder to everyone to prevent anyone from causing trouble by using her appearance as an excuse.

Wang Peiru: “…”

After the farce, the dinner was about to begin. Everyone followed the palace servants' instructions and came to the banquet hall.

After Han Bingjie, Lin Shishi and Mu Yan exchanged greetings for a while, they returned to their families, and Mu Yan took Mu Xue to sit at the banquet table prepared for the Minister of Personnel's Mansion.

Sun Moyu was not present at the game just now, but Mu Ning explained the whole matter to Sun. Now the look she gave this older sister no longer contained the hatred and contempt she had before, but instead a hint of admiration rose in her heart.

When she was watching the game in the audience, the scene of Mu Yan flying in the air won applause from everyone in the audience. Some people who didn't know the truth were still asking which mansion Mu Yan was from. She really wanted to tell someone at that time that the woman who was so proud on horseback was a girl from their Mu mansion.

"Girl Yan, I didn't expect your riding skills are so superb. I've never heard you talk about it before. You're still hiding it from your family." Sun Moyu's words were full of sourness. Even if her daughter was not good enough, she couldn't bear to see others being even a little better than her daughter.

Mu Yan was really speechless about her second aunt, "Second aunt, you never asked."

Sun Moyu paused while cracking melon seeds, glanced at her and ignored her, frowning and asking Mu Wan who had just returned from changing clothes.

"Wan'er, why are you wearing a cloak?"

Mu Wan said calmly, "I felt a little cold just now, so I put on an extra cloak."

Although her face looked calm, her heart was already surging with emotions. If she could win first place at the Hundred Flowers Banquet today, the Emperor would certainly take this opportunity to read out the imperial edict conferring her the title of County Princess. By then, it would be the icing on the cake and she would definitely be the focus of everyone's attention.

Mu Yan's eyes turned away, but she did not expose her. Although the banquet hall was very large, because the emperor and the queen were also present, the floor heating was turned on even in early spring, so it would not be cold at all.

It looks like a good show is about to begin. In the previous life, Mu Wan won the favor of many noble families in the capital with her dance today. But in this life, she will make Mu Wan's whole plan fail and completely crush her beautiful dream.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has arrived!"

Following a commotion among the palace servants, everyone stood up and knelt in greeting.

"Stand up, today is the Hundred Flowers Banquet, everyone don't need to be restrained." A bright yellow figure sat on the dragon throne and waved his hand.

Although the government says there is no need to be so reserved, who dares to be so?

Seated next to the Emperor were the Empress and Concubine Jing. The Empress was dressed in luxurious palace robes and sat high up in the throne, with a noble and dignified temperament. Concubine Jing, who was sitting next to her, was in her thirties but looked like she was in her early twenties. She had a hair full of oriental pearls and gold hairpins and her skin was snow-white. The Empress was next to her, and the two looked like mother and daughter. Oriental pearls were reserved for the Empress, and Concubine Jing's dress was considered to be overstepping the boundaries, but Concubine Jing was the most favored concubine in the harem and had been on equal footing with the Empress for more than a decade, so who dared to say a word to her?

"What a rare guest! You are here today, my tenth brother." The emperor pointed at Prince Han and joked.

As everyone knows, His Royal Highness Prince Han usually dislikes attending this kind of banquet, but today he attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet for the first time, which is really rare.

Mo Yuche stood up and saluted, "I have been in Jiangxi for many days to provide disaster relief. I miss you very much, so I would like to take advantage of this banquet to meet you."

Emperor: "Hahaha, then you have to drink a few more cups with me today."

As the emperor finished speaking, the palace banquet officially began.

Every year, the Hundred Flowers Banquet features horseback riding and archery competitions during the day, and performances of music, chess, calligraphy and painting at the dinner. Talented men and women can perform on stage if they wish.

The queen waved her hand, and a palace maid brought out a set of red gold and South pearl butterfly headpieces.

"Today, I got a headdress, it's very exquisite, I'll use it as this year's lucky charm."

Everyone was eager to try it when they saw it. Mu Wan's eyes lit up when she saw it. This headdress was not only worth a fortune, but also a supreme honor.

Mu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly. This headpiece was given to Mu Wan in her previous life.

In her previous life, Mu Yan originally just wanted to spend that day in a low-key manner, but was instigated by Mu Wan to perform on stage in public. She only had a basic understanding of the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the strings broke as soon as she started.
