Chapter 102: Revealing One's Own Ugliness

"General Manager Zhao is joking. Please host the competition immediately and don't delay the business."

The elegant and graceful woman sitting in the middle pavilion spoke seriously.

Beside her stood two princes and a princess, who seemed to be about to reach adulthood and were relatively old among the royal heirs.

"What Concubine Zhang said is right."

Zhao Feng respectfully accepted the order, and his smile became even bigger.

He walked to the built platform and announced: "Your Highnesses, the emperor organized this animal taming competition today to test your understanding of the way of taming animals."

"Please show your understanding of the way of taming animals under the premise of abiding by the rules."

"And this competition will be judged on the four aspects of 'commands and prohibitions'."

"Please listen carefully to my explanation..."

Today's competition has four events, corresponding to the order and prohibition.

Each game can get five ratings of "A, B, C, D, and E", with scores ranging from five points to one point from high to low.

The final ranking is based on the total score.

Zhao Feng's explanation was simple and clear, allowing everyone to quickly understand the rules.

The first game, the order!

The content of the game is very simple. Five people are in a group. They are required to give a few fixed instructions, and then see how many of the tamed animals can complete, and then the score is judged by the quality of the completion.

However, the way to tame animals is not an ability that can be developed at the last minute.

Many princes and princesses are not good at this at all, and they just find some tamed animals to make up the numbers.

When they first heard about this competition, many people thought it was a tamed animal competition, fighting against each other, so they specially found a lot of powerful tamed animals.

But the more such tamed animals are, the more difficult they are to tame, especially when facing new owners who have taken over them for a few days.

At the beginning, the commands are very simple, including sitting down, lying down, standing up, rolling, shaking hands, jumping, running in circles, etc.

Later, there will be more complex compound commands, such as sitting down after rolling, running in circles after sitting down, shaking hands after returning to the original place, and then jumping three times in a row.

Anyway, the difficulty is gradually increasing, making the gap between everyone clear at a glance.

Even because the rules require princes and princesses over six years old to participate in the competition, the inclusion of contestants in the infant group makes the scene even more funny.

These young princes and princesses did not come to win, but just brought some harmless small animals to the stage to participate in the competition, mostly kittens and puppies, or rabbits and turtles.

But it is obviously a fantasy to expect these children to tame animals.

So from time to time, there will be two little cuties staring at each other on the stage.

No matter how the little master gives instructions, the little animals are all cute.

In the end, several little masters were so anxious that they cried and gave instructions themselves, demonstrating to their little animals.

As a result, the little animals remained indifferent, forcing the little masters to collapse and cry one by one, and throw tantrums on the stage.

At this time, the attendants went up and carried the little masters and the little animals away to avoid further embarrassment.

After a few rounds, it was Princess Ankang's turn to go on stage to participate.

Princess Ankang had difficulty in moving, so Yu'er had to push her onto the stage.

The stage was built high for the convenience of everyone to watch.

Although a slope was specially left for contestants with limited mobility to get on the stage, it was still very difficult to push someone up because the slope was a bit steep.

Especially when Zhao Feng saw that Yu'er was just a little girl, he signaled a flowery eunuch next to him to help.

As a result, the flowery eunuch came over to take over, but was rejected by Yu'er.

She shook her head firmly, then pushed Princess Ankang with force and took steady steps.

The wheelchair was pushed steadily onto the stage. Yu'er did not change her expression. After pushing Princess Ankang to her position, she stepped aside and stood quietly.

This strange master and servant attracted everyone's attention.

In the palace, Princess Ankang and Yu'er were completely outliers.

Everyone knew their situation, but everyone remained silent.

It seemed that ignoring them was the most reasonable way to treat them.

It's just that some concubines were very surprised by the appearance of Princess Ankang.

Some of them saw Princess Ankang again after many years, while some saw her for the first time.

So their faces were naturally very exciting.

Some were curious, some were contemptuous, and some were disgusted...

The eyes of these nobles were like needles, making people uncomfortable.

The whispering sound was caught by the ears vaguely, but it was not heard clearly.

But it was enough for the people being talked about to clearly feel the malice hidden in it.

These concubines in front of them have the most beautiful appearance in the world, but at the same time they have the most vicious inner self.

Princess Ankang lowered her eyebrows, and her eyes were slightly empty.

She thought she was used to it, but she was still uncomfortable at this time.

Maybe she just adapted to her brothers and sisters, but not to these concubines.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, a gentle cat cry sounded, and Princess Ankang's eyes refocused, and she saw Li Xuan looking at her in her arms with a smile on his face.

Princess Ankang suddenly felt warm in her heart and smiled.

This smile made the famous sick beauty in the palace shine with dazzling brilliance.

Even the beauties in the harem off the stage were eclipsed.

People with the same beauty are jealous of each other, and people with the same profession are enemies.

What's more, Princess Ankang's current beauty is far superior to them.

It is not just the beauty of the skin, but also the inner beauty that they can never pursue in their lives.

Such beauty makes them feel ashamed, and they jump up and down as if they were burned.

"Tsk!"

A contemptuous voice rang out in the pavilion. At this moment, these usually arrogant beauties maintained a rare tacit understanding.

Especially Concubine Zhang, who was sitting in the pavilion, had a gloomy face and a jade hand unconsciously clenched, as if she thought of some bad memories.

The look that Concubine Zhang gave Princess Ankang was not cold, but hot hatred.

Li Xuan was busy comforting Princess Ankang, so he did not notice Concubine Zhang's expression.

At this time, the competition on the stage also began.

Among Princess Ankang's opponents, there were strong and weak ones.

Two of them were the princes and princesses who had stood beside Concubine Zhang before.

According to Zhao Feng's introduction, one of them was the fourth prince, and the other was the sixth princess.

Both of them were among the oldest among the princes and princesses, and were also candidates with considerable competitiveness for the throne.

Moreover, they were all born to Concubine Zhang, and were siblings.

The fourth prince brought up a white lion cub with a snow-white body.

The sixth princess brought up a green bamboo leaf green snake.

According to Li Xuan's common sense, this bamboo leaf green snake should be a poisonous snake, and it is highly poisonous.

The brighter the things in nature, the more poisonous they are.

But Li Xuan had never seen the toxicity of the bamboo leaf green before. Although he guessed that it was very poisonous, he didn't know how poisonous it was.

If it was to the extent that it could kill people with just one blow, the palace would not allow her to keep it.

Even if she was the Sixth Princess, there were still some rules that could not be broken.

Just as Li Xuan was curiously looking at the bamboo leaf green on the Sixth Princess's arm, the bamboo leaf green suddenly turned its head and screamed at Li Xuan, its mouth opened exaggeratedly, revealing two sharp fangs.

Li Xuan was unmoved, but Princess Ankang was shocked.

She couldn't run away, so she could only shrink her body to the other side of the wheelchair.

And this scene actually caused a burst of laughter.

Even the concubines ignored their image and laughed deliberately, as if they wanted to avenge Princess Ankang's surprise.
