Chapter 101 Fun Competition?

Li Xuan curled up in Princess Ankang's arms and thought hard.

After seeing off the guests, Yu'er came back and sat aside, asking Princess Ankang about her plan.

"Your Highness, what should we do about this animal taming competition?"

Yu'er seemed a little worried.

"I heard before that other princes have raised wolves, tigers and leopards, and even those tamed hounds are extremely fierce."

"Although Ah Xuan is very smart, I'm afraid he won't be able to get away with these ferocious beasts."

"After all, it's just a kitten."

Yu'er became more and more worried as she spoke, with a worried look on her face.

Li Xuan's expression was a little speechless, but he could understand Yu'er's mood.

After all, Princess Ankang and Yu'er watched him grow up.

I'm afraid that in their minds, Li Xuan is still the poor cub who was almost drowned in the rain.

Understanding Yu'er's starting point, he was not upset at all about being looked down upon, but rather enjoyed the feeling of being protected.

"It's really heartwarming."

Li Xuan grinned, but gradually had an idea in his mind.

Although this animal taming competition came a little abruptly, he couldn't figure out Emperor Yongyuan's intention.

But when Chief Steward Shang came, Li Xuan also heard it clearly.

There is a reward for the first place.

And Chief Steward Shang also specifically said that it was a generous prize.

In addition, it was a competition organized by Emperor Yongyuan himself, so he would not be stingy.

This alone was enough to make Li Xuan tempted.

Not to mention the so-called points, and the opportunity to be alone with Emperor Yongyuan next New Year.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

Li Xuan wondered if he should fight for a chance for Princess Ankang.

According to him, it was Empress Wu who hated Princess Ankang.

As for Emperor Yongyuan's attitude towards Princess Ankang, it was still unknown.

Li Xuan naturally hoped that Emperor Yongyuan still had some feelings for his daughter.

At least, don't keep ignoring her and leave Princess Ankang alone in the cold palace to die.

Thinking about their current situation, Li Xuan couldn't help but be angry with this dog emperor.

How could a father treat his daughter like this?

Princess Ankang had to ask her father in person whether he still had a conscience.

Li Xuan made up his mind and stood up from Princess Ankang's arms, put his front paws on Princess Ankang's shoulders, and looked at her firmly.

Princess Ankang looked at Li Xuan's eyes and understood his determination without saying anything.

"Ah Xuan, have you thought about it?"

"You might be in danger."

Princess Ankang confirmed to him worriedly.

Li Xuan nodded without any hesitation.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan in her arms and rubbed him with her cheek.

"But you must promise me that you will not get hurt!"

"I would rather give up than take risks."

Li Xuan meowed obediently, kissed Princess Ankang on the cheek, and made his own promise.

In fact, after he taught the five dogs a lesson last time, he almost understood that ordinary animals were no longer his opponents.

Unless he encountered a level 1 ferocious beast, it might be dangerous.

But in the palace, how could those underage princes and princesses be allowed to raise such things.

Ferocious beasts are not something that ordinary people can control.

Therefore, Li Xuan is determined to win this game!

...

Time flies.

After the last Imperial Garden party was cancelled, this month's Imperial Garden finally welcomed the arrival of a group of princes and princesses.

Not only that, this party was unprecedentedly grand, and a special venue was built in the Imperial Garden for the animal training competition later.

The number of palace maids and eunuchs standing by increased several times, almost filling up the huge imperial garden.

And this was not over yet.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived!"

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived!"

"..."

With the sound of singing, one noble after another arrived here.

In an instant, six favored concubines came.

There were also dozens of other beauties in the harem, calling each other sisters, gathering in twos and threes, and gradually standing in several groups with clear boundaries.

Such a big scene scared the three little ones in Jingyang Palace into shrinking in the corner, standing there in a daze.

"Didn't we agree that it was a fun little competition!?"

Li Xuan spread his paws, wanting to find the Yongyuan Emperor to ask what was going on.

Looking at this posture, those who didn't know would think that today was going to select a crown prince.

Especially those favored nobles whose children were about to reach adulthood, one by one, pulled their children to sharpen their knives, encouraged them as if they were going to the ring, and exerted indescribable huge pressure.

And the princes and princesses passed this pressure on their own trained animals, asking them to behave well and constantly stuffing delicious food into their mouths.

Seeing this scene, Jingyang Palace also lost the battle.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er fed Li Xuan dried fish on the left and right, with a firm look.

The expressions of the two little girls were very solemn, and they seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the scene.

Princess Ankang looked at the unconventional pets tied by other princes and princesses, and felt scared for her own kitten.

Yu'er counted the dried fish in her hand and silently did arithmetic problems in her mind.

Suddenly, Yu'er, a math genius, grabbed the handkerchief wrapped in dried fish.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were both stunned, and the pre-war momentum that was brewing suddenly stagnated. They turned their heads to look at Yu'er.

Yu'er pursed her lips, looked at the distance with a serious look, and said in a deep voice:

"Here it comes!"

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were naturally led by Yu'er's gaze and looked over.

At the entrance of the Imperial Garden, the hem of a silver-edged flowered dress was first revealed, and then the appearance of its owner was revealed.

Zhao Feng, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led a group of flowered eunuchs to slowly enter the Imperial Garden.

"Meet General Manager Zhao."

The palace maids and eunuchs greeted him in unison.

Except for concubines, princes, and their attendants.

But in front of this general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even the nobles had to nod and greet him.

Only a few people sneered at Zhao Feng, turned their heads away, and pretended not to see him.

Li Xuan's heart moved, and he memorized the appearance of these people.

It seems that Zhao Feng smiles every day, looking like a good old man, and there are people in the palace who don't like him.

Zhao Feng didn't think so.

Maybe he was used to it.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty organized a small fun competition, and it actually aroused such elegance among the ladies."

Zhao Feng walked into the venue, saluted several nobles one by one, and then said so.

The concubines with the highest status just glanced at each other and looked away silently. No one wanted to respond.

Seeing the cold scene, Zhao Feng just laughed.

"Since the ladies are interested, then enjoy this fun."

"But your majesty has given me the responsibility of judging the competition. I hope you ladies will not make it difficult for me later."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to your majesty."

As soon as Zhao Feng said this, the ladies who had not looked at him before immediately shot their eyes over.

In the beautiful eyes with unique charm, there was a cold light, as cold as frost and snow.

The murderous aura was condensed and did not flow, the wind was sad and the sun was cold.

Thanks to "山建青" for the reward support.

Thanks to "书友20230323134133800", "卋罖R", "像玫瑰告情", "宝恢", "R丶罪" for their monthly ticket support.

I'm going to sleep and continue tomorrow.
