Chapter 100 The Tree Wants to Be Still but the Wind Does Not Stop

"Miss Yu'er, excuse me."

"Is His Highness Ankang here?"

"I have something to ask you."

Outside the gate of Jingyang Palace, Shang, the chief steward, suddenly came with a few eunuchs in flowery clothes and asked to see Princess Ankang directly.

Yu'er was stunned for a moment, but then nodded and said, "Please wait for a moment, Shang, I will report to His Highness."

Yu'er closed the door and hurried back.

They naturally would not refuse Shang's request to see him, but before meeting the guests, they always had to tidy up and tidy up their appearance.

When Princess Ankang heard Shang's request to see her, she quickly straightened her clothes and wiped her wet hair.

Yu'er saw that everything was almost ready, so she went to open the door and welcome Shang in.

Just like the last time, Shang entered Jingyang Palace alone and asked the eunuchs in flowery clothes who accompanied him to guard outside the door.

Li Xuanmao was hiding on the wall, secretly looking at Shang Zongguan, wondering what his purpose was.

Thinking about it carefully, Shang Zongguan had come to their place quite frequently in recent times.

Shang Zongguan paid full courtesy and met Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang wanted to let the old eunuch sit down, but was rejected by Shang Zongguan.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am here to convey your Majesty's instructions, and I have to go to other princes later, so I dare not delay too long."

Hearing the word "Your Majesty", Princess Ankang couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

She couldn't remember what her father looked like.

She only vaguely remembered the red robe and the domineering black dragon pattern on the back.

The Daxing Dynasty respected the color red, so the emperor wore a red dragon robe.

Princess Ankang couldn't remember what her father looked like, but she still remembered the dragon robe.

"Your Majesty's order?"

Yu'er, who was standing by, felt nervous and uneasy.

She hoped it was good news, but was afraid that she was overthinking.

For many years, since they were banished to the cold palace, His Majesty had never cared about this place.

Now that Concubine Xiao has passed away, Yu'er couldn't help but have more thoughts.

"Maybe, Your Highness can leave here?"

Yu'er actually didn't understand why Princess Ankang was also sent here.

Even if other concubines made mistakes, they would not implicate their offspring.

Because that was His Majesty's blood after all.

But Princess Ankang was like an exception, following Concubine Xiao to this Jingyang Palace.

For so many years, no one had ever mentioned the inappropriateness of it.

Now, His Majesty might have the idea of ​​correcting this mistake?

Yu'er guessed randomly, and her hands holding the hem of her clothes began to tremble slightly.

Seeing the sudden heavy atmosphere, Shang Zongguan smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't be nervous. It's not a big deal."

Then, Shang Zongguan straightened his body and said in a serious tone, "Pass on His Majesty's oral order."

"Next month, the royal heirs will gather in the Imperial Garden and hold an animal taming competition. The first place will have generous prizes and corresponding points."

"In the future, we will organize corresponding competitions from time to time during the monthly gatherings to gain points."

"The one with the most points at the end of the year will have the opportunity to visit the New Year alone next year and spend a day alone with His Majesty."

After that, Shang Zongguan bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have brought His Majesty's oral order."

"Animal taming competition?"

After hearing the oral order, Princess Ankang repeated it with a strange look on her face.

Yu'er was also full of surprise at this time.

They thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be like this?

Emperor Yongyuan was famous for not caring about his children. Why would he suddenly organize such a competition for no reason?

In response to Princess Ankang's reaction, Shang Zongguan just smiled and explained: "Your Majesty is just worried that the princes are bored on weekdays, so he organized some interesting competitions."

"Your Majesty also knows that many other princes are energetic, and His Majesty is afraid that they have nowhere to vent, so this kind of competition is held."

"Your Majesty, don't think too much, just participate in the competition."

"All princes and princesses who are six years old or older must participate in the competition."

"Princess, please participate on time."

Shang Zongguan said so as to comfort Princess Ankang's concerns.

Princess Ankang frowned and said, "But Steward Shang, given the conditions of our Jingyang Palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to participate. There must be an animal for this animal taming competition, right?"

"Doesn't Jingyang Palace have a clouded leopard?" Steward Shang smiled slightly and continued, "As long as it is a domesticated animal, it will be fine."

"Even if there is really no suitable animal to tame for the competition, you can report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and apply for a temporary animal tame."

"But if you are smart and send someone to participate, I'm afraid you will be punished by His Majesty."

Steward Shang made a joke, and Princess Ankang chuckled, thinking that no one would be so unreasonable.

"Ankang understands, thank you Steward Shang for coming to convey the oral order."

Princess Ankang sat in a wheelchair and returned the greeting.

Seeing Princess Ankang like this, Shang Zongguan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

He bowed and said goodbye with a normal expression: "Your Highness, I still have to pass on messages to other princesses, so I won't bother you any more."

"Please, Shang Zongguan, Yu'er, help me see Shang Zongguan off."

Li Xuan secretly watched Yu'er send Shang Zongguan out of the door, and then dared to reappear.

When he returned to Princess Ankang's arms, he heard Princess Ankang say with some concern: "Ah Xuan, did you hear it too?"

"I'm afraid this matter is an opportunity for those royal brothers and sisters, but I don't know why even I have to get involved."

Although Princess Ankang grew up in Jingyang Palace and had little contact with the outside world, the monthly gatherings made her understand the true colors of her brothers and sisters.

During the monthly gathering, although the royal heirs seemed to be friendly and affectionate, they were secretly competing with each other.

Otherwise, what was the point of competing all the time?

Princess Ankang had seen them fighting with each other, and more than once they were seriously injured to the point of breaking bones.

Her brothers and sisters were warm as spring breeze in words, but their hands were cold as ice.

Those brothers and sisters would talk about her every month, saying that this one was pitiful, that one was worried, and they must order people to take good care of the thirteenth sister.

At first, she took it seriously, but after many times, she understood it.

Princess Ankang heard these words from childhood, once a month, every time.

But her life in Jingyang Palace has never been good, but has become more and more difficult.

But even so, Princess Ankang does not blame these brothers and sisters.

As long as they don't bully her, it can be regarded as a leniency.

Fortunately, the crown prince has not been appointed yet. Even if someone dislikes Princess Ankang, they will just give her a cold face and ignore her.

On the contrary, those who are insincere and sincere make Princess Ankang sick.

So every time she goes to the Imperial Garden for a party, she will find a corner, close her eyes and sleep for a whole day to save herself from being upset.

The royal heirs have their own camps based on blood and relatives.

Although Princess Ankang is young, she also understands that this is not a vortex she should get involved in.

Therefore, she expressed her unwillingness to participate in the competition.

Who would have thought that General Manager Shang would directly cut off her idea.

As long as you are six years old, you have to participate, and it is a taming competition. In this case, Princess Ankang has no excuse not to participate.

"Ah Xuan, what do you think we should do about this?"

Thanks to "Shi Te" for the reward and support.
