Chapter 106 "Stop"
But since they have chosen to fight to the end, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang will not retreat under pressure.
Only the last round of "stop" competition is left.
If they win the last game, the final victory of today will be theirs.
Before the fourth round of competition begins, take a short break.
Princess Ankang stayed alone on the stage because of her mobility problems, saving the effort of going up and down.
Yu'er pushed the man and the cat to the corner of the stage, and the three little ones muttered to themselves.
"Your Highness, we are far ahead!"
"If we continue like this, won't we win?"
Yu'er's tone was both uneasy and excited.
She herself couldn't explain her feelings.
What has Jingyang Palace ever won in all these years?
Not to mention in front of so many nobles who claim to be high and mighty.
But it is precisely because of this that Yu'er has the complex emotions of uneasiness and excitement at this time.
Princess Ankang had a similar expression on her face. She picked up Li Xuan and gave him a big kiss.
"This is all thanks to Ah Xuan. You are so great!"
Princess Ankang was so happy that she was a little carried away.
But she immediately rubbed her face and said seriously: "But the situation is still uncertain, it is too early to say, we can't let down our guard."
The little girl was as powerful as the general, stabilizing the morale of the army.
Li Xuan originally thought that competing with some mentally retarded animals was quite boring.
But after being kissed a few times and seeing Princess Ankang so happy, he felt that it was all worth it.
Unlike the smile when she played with him on weekdays, Li Xuan clearly felt that there was a little more inexplicable pleasure in Princess Ankang's smile at this time.
...
Zhao Feng came to the stage to rest, drinking tea to moisten his throat, but his eyes stayed on the stage, looking at Princess Ankang and others.
His eyes were full of smiles, looking at the master and servant and the cats in their arms, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly felt something, looked back, and then stood up and saluted with a smile: "Godfather, you are here."
"Hello, Chief Steward Shang!"
Others also saluted, not daring to be negligent.
Chief Steward Shang nodded, sat in Zhao Feng's original position, and said: "I'm free anyway, so I'll join in the fun."
Zhao Feng quickly poured a cup of tea and asked: "Godfather, have you watched the first few rounds? What do you think?"
"The animal taming competition arranged by His Majesty is indeed interesting."
General Steward Shang and Zhao Feng looked at each other, and both had inexplicable smiles on their faces.
Taming animals?
Who is being tamed is still unknown.
With their vision, how can they not see that this game is not about wine.
In just a seemingly playful game, the attitudes of the princes and princesses can be seen.
Some are perfunctory and some are trying their best.
And the different performances can also show their current mentality.
For example, the Sixth Princess lost control of her emotions at the slightest accident, acted arrogantly on the stage, and was in a state of despair after being punished.
The Fourth Prince's young white lion was severely punished for the slightest mistake on the stage.
After the third round of competition, the Fourth Prince lost the qualification to continue to participate in the last round because of insufficient points and no hope of winning the championship.
Not long ago, the Fourth Prince took the young white lion away for a while.
But when he came back, the young white lion was gone.
The Fourth Prince sat next to Concubine Zhang as if nothing had happened, and calmly prepared to watch the last round of competition.
The performance of others was even more different.
Now only the eldest prince, the eighth prince and the thirteenth princess are qualified to compete for the first place.
Among them, Princess Ankang, the thirteenth princess, temporarily leads in points. From a small transparent person at the beginning, she has become the biggest dark horse.
And it is obvious that General Manager Shang and Zhao Feng have a great interest in Princess Ankang.
"The little maid in Jingyang Palace is quite good."
Zhao Feng looked at Yu'er and praised her.
Previously, Yu'er refused the help of the eunuch in flowery clothes and pushed Princess Ankang onto the stage by herself.
Fortunately, Yu'er had recently practiced the Ten Forms of Tiger Form, and her strength has improved.
Otherwise, today, Princess Ankang would have to be pushed onto the stage by outsiders.
Although it is just a small matter, it means something different to Princess Ankang, who only has one maid.
The status of Jingyang Palace itself is embarrassing. If Princess Ankang does not have even a capable servant, she will be despised.
Yu'er at least helped Princess Ankang save the last bit of face.
Seeing that his adopted son also liked Yu'er, Shang Zongguan smiled slightly, and then sighed:
"Alas, they are all good children."
...
On the other side.
Concubine Zhang sat in the pavilion, sipping a cup of fragrant jasmine tea.
The jasmine tea exuded a warm breath, but it was difficult to dispel the coldness in the pavilion.
Except for the eldest and fourth princes who sat beside Concubine Zhang, the other concubines of lower status stood aside, forming a semicircle.
However, the atmosphere in the pavilion was depressing, and even the breathing was not loud enough.
Concubine Zhang drank two sips of tea, slowly let out a long breath, and asked:
"Xian'er, are you sure?"
The eldest prince Li Xian lowered his head slightly and replied expressionlessly: "Don't worry, mother."
Li Xian is seventeen years old this year and is the oldest prince of Emperor Yongyuan.
He will be an adult next year, and then he will be given a title and be separated from the palace.
Therefore, Concubine Zhang is naturally anxious for her eldest son.
Emperor Yongyuan is rarely seen in the palace, and there is no chance after he leaves the palace.
Moreover, according to the etiquette, Li Xian should have been made the crown prince.
But Emperor Yongyuan has not made any move, so Concubine Zhang is naturally anxious.
While she is anxious, as long as the throne is empty, the uneasiness in her heart is getting bigger and bigger, making her feel uncomfortable as if thousands of insects are gnawing at her heart.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Concubine Zhang nodded and said no more.
From beginning to end, she never looked at the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Princess again.
...
On the other side, the Eighth Prince set up a table in the Imperial Garden.
The few pavilions were occupied by other concubines, and he couldn't compete with the elders, so he asked the attendants to set up a place outside.
The Eighth Prince crossed his legs, sipped tea, and threw a piece to the mouth of the Haidongqing from time to time.
The Haidongqing tasted the first piece, but only chewed it twice and spit it out.
The Eighth Prince said "Hey" and tried to throw another piece.
This time the Haidongqing didn't open his mouth to receive it, so the cake hit Haidongqing's head directly.
The Haidongqing was also a hot-tempered person. It was furious on the spot and flapped its wings to peck at the Eighth Prince's head endlessly.
A man and a bird got into a fight, and the attendants next to them hurried forward to mediate.
But there was not much attention when the noise started here, and it seemed that they were used to it.
Li Xuan noticed the movement over there and thought to himself:
"This old Eighth Prince is quite interesting."
Compared with the other families, the Eighth Prince was only accompanied by attendants, not his mother.
And compared with the other princes and princesses, the Eighth Prince's mentality was obviously much more relaxed.
With so many people present, the Eighth Prince was probably one of the few who really enjoyed the game.
His lively personality was much more interesting than that of the wooden-like eldest prince.
...
After a short rest, Zhao Feng went back to the stage.
Shang Zongguan sat in his original resting position, waiting to watch the last round of the game.
The last round was "stop".
And only the three candidates who could participate in this last round of the game were left.
Princess Ankang looked at the eldest prince and the eighth prince beside her, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
At this moment, Zhao Feng gave an order, and several eunuchs in flowery clothes brought three plates of fresh meat.
Li Xuan, the black dog, and the Saker Falcon turned their heads at the same time, their eyes glued to the three plates of meat, and they could not move away.
Even Li Xuan could not help but secrete saliva, swallowing his saliva mouthful by mouthful.
He smelled a fragrance that was more tempting than the blood of the tiger.
The black dog and the Saker Falcon were even more unbearable, they were moved to tears, and crystal tears flowed down the corners of their mouths like a waterfall.
"It smells so good!"
