Chapter 510 Add Me

The Ninth Princess handed the banknotes to Princess Ankang as requested.

Including the challenge money, she spent a total of 400 taels of silver.

If it keeps doubling, the more challenge money people who want to challenge Princess Ankang will have to spend.

But the problem now is that no one knows how many games Princess Ankang can last.

Everyone can see that the iron ball on the ground is very heavy. Although Princess Ankang seems to be easy to throw every time, she is a person after all, and there will always be a time when her physical strength is exhausted.

At that time, she will naturally not be able to hit the target like she does now.

And when Princess Ankang is exhausted, it is their chance.

In the current supplementary competition, the only ones who have not withdrawn are the eldest prince and his three siblings, the third prince, the fifth prince, the eighth prince and the ninth princess.

And Princess Ankang, who everyone wants to challenge successfully.

As for the others, either they did not participate in the supplementary competition from the beginning, or they paid the "ransom" and withdrew by themselves.

After all, no one wants to be in the cold weather, like the two people in the field, wearing only a pair of underwear and blowing the cold wind.

The Eighth Prince also waved to his attendants and asked them to fetch a fur coat to put on.

Not to mention, he and the Third Prince's styles are quite unique. Except for the lack of a tights, they really have a bit of Daxing Superman's style.

Li Xuan looked at the two brothers and felt really funny.

But the game has to go on. Now, except for the Third Prince, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Princess who each lost a life lottery, everyone else is still safe and sound.

But in this situation, no one wants to be the cannon fodder, so they hesitate.

Princess Ankang quietly waited for the next challenger, but she was not anxious at all.

No one dared to challenge Princess Ankang in this state easily.

Just when everyone was silent, the Fourth Prince had a plan in mind.

"I want to force a challenge to the Ninth Princess."

Others, including Princess Ankang, were stunned.

I didn't expect the Fourth Prince to do this all of a sudden.

Even Li Xuan was somewhat confused by the Fourth Prince's actions.

"Huh? Why did he challenge the Ninth Princess?"

"Did he know that the Ninth Princess's monthly allowance was higher than his?"

"But after the monthly allowances of the princes and princesses were reduced, I'm afraid they were all about the same."

"It's not worth spending a hundred taels of silver on the challenge, is it?"

The Ninth Princess was not as strong as the Fourth Prince, and she had just challenged Princess Ankang, so she quickly lost the game.

"General Manager Zhao, can I not change the monthly allowance and just take something worth a hundred taels of silver from the Ninth Princess?"

After winning the game, the Fourth Prince asked Zhao Feng.

"So you want to eliminate other competitors first."

Li Xuan immediately understood the Fourth Prince's intention.

But it must be said that this is very risky.

If there are not enough people to consume Princess Ankang's physical strength in the end, I'm afraid it will be like shooting oneself in the foot.

Zhao Feng shook his head and explained, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, the challenger can only choose to exchange the monthly allowance as a reward."

"Only the party who is forced to challenge can choose to obtain an item from the other party that is equal to the value of the challenge gold."

For such an explanation, the Fourth Prince did not seem too disappointed, but just nodded to show that he understood.

Then he accepted the reward of exchanging the monthly allowance with the Ninth Princess.

Zhao Feng immediately wrote two notes and gave them to the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Princess respectively. These notes showed the monthly allowance after their exchange.

Seeing the amount on the note, the Fourth Prince had no expression on his face, but the Ninth Princess was delighted.

Obviously, after the exchange, the Ninth Princess took advantage.

The Ninth Princess also happily showed the amount after the exchange to the Third Prince, and her intention to show off was very obvious.

The third prince shook his head helplessly and said, "There is no point in exchanging monthly allowances between us. At present, only Ankang's monthly allowance is much higher than ours. Successfully exchanging with him is the biggest reward for the additional competition."

"Oh——"

The ninth princess replied in a long voice, looking a little unhappy.

The third prince naturally felt the emotions of the ninth princess, sighed and continued:

"You only have one life sign left, just challenge Ankang directly. If you lose, you can also keep the monthly allowance of the fourth brother, which is not too bad."

Hearing this, the ninth princess was even more reluctant.

"Ah, but it will cost four hundred taels of silver to challenge Ankang again. It's not worth it."

"And looking at her like that, I'm afraid it's just a matter of convenience for her to beat me again."

The ninth princess looked at Princess Ankang, who was energetic and shining in her eyes, and had no idea of ​​challenging her at all.

"Then either be challenged by others again and lose the current monthly allowance."

"Or challenge yourself, pay the money and leave."

Among the other options given by the third prince, forcing yourself to challenge yourself and then choosing a position is the most cost-effective option.

Since she had been challenged by the Fourth Prince once, the Ninth Princess only needed to pay another two hundred taels of silver to leave the additional competition safely.

But the Ninth Princess did not want to end the competition in such a frustrating way.

"Then I'll challenge Ankang again."

Rather than paying the money and leaving the competition in frustration, the Ninth Princess chose to contribute her own strength.

Although she didn't know who would accept this contribution, it was easier for her to accept than the other two options.

The Ninth Princess's challenge had no practical effect except for contributing an extra four hundred taels of silver to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Princess Ankang.

Of course, the other princes and princesses didn't think so.

Princess Ankang performed one more round, and her physical strength was depleted a few more points.

As for who is lucky enough to win Princess Ankang, they all have to rely on their own abilities.

In the following time, the princes and princesses who were still on the field took turns taking turns to challenge Princess Ankang, even the eighth prince was no exception.

In a game like this, they don't show any mercy.

With the constant challenges, the challenge money also keeps rising and doubling, making Zhao Feng smile with joy.

Princess Ankang also gradually showed signs of physical exhaustion. She had scored less than five points and made frequent mistakes.

But even so, the others could only hit three points at most. Even if Princess Ankang made one or two mistakes, she could still guarantee victory.

As the challenge gold gets higher and higher, Princess Ankang no longer plays tricks on others, but simply asks for their money.

As much as the Ministry of Internal Affairs makes, Princess Ankang will also make as much.

"After going through this circle again, I'm afraid I can really squeeze out a lot of oil and water from them."

Li Xuan secretly said.

Among the nobles in the palace, after so many years of glory and wealth, I am afraid that many of them have accumulated a substantial foundation.

The antique calligraphy and paintings in various palaces, the silks, satins, and jewelry on their bodies are all priceless.

Today's game is just the beginning.

From now on, if you squeeze them slowly, sooner or later you will squeeze them dry.

Outside the palace, Emperor Yongyuan was also intensively planning to deal with the plans of the family behind them.

As long as he follows Li Xuan's ghost ideas and continues to promote financial transactions, the money on the market will not be taken at will by Emperor Yongyuan.

This money should be left alone. Instead of putting it in the treasury of these families as decoration, it is better to use it to contribute to the court.

Anyway, this money is the people's fat and the people's anointing, so it can be considered as a good use.

When Emperor Yongyuan overthrew Prince Zheng and reorganized the imperial court, he would naturally have plenty of time to clean up these corpses.

Gradually, the princes and princesses who challenged Princess Ankang began to have a tacit understanding and challenged each other one at a time.

But Princess Ankang stumbled and always won.

When everyone only had one chance to challenge, they returned to their previous silence.

"what to do?"

Except for Princess Ankang, the princes and princesses looked at each other in confusion.

They all have only one life ticket left now. Whoever is eliminated first will completely lose their chance.

Of course, it is also possible that the person who challenges first can win Princess Ankang and pick the biggest peach in this additional game.

"Your Highnesses, are you no longer challenging?"

"If this is the case, I will announce that the game is over."

Even at this tense moment, Zhao Feng did not forget to use words to stimulate them, hoping to disrupt their hands and feet.

Seeing that everyone was wary of each other and suspicious of each other, the eighth prince stood up.

"Stop the ink, rock, paper, scissors, the winner decides the final order of the challenge. No matter what the result is, you are not allowed to renege afterwards."

Others couldn't help but feel moved by the eighth prince's proposal.

Although this is a child's play, it is indeed the best way at the moment.

"No, the three of them are of the same mind and can only send one representative to guess the game."

The third prince raised his own objection and pointed at the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince.

The Sixth Princess was about to sneer, but the Third Prince continued:

"If you don't agree, I will challenge the boss now."

As soon as these words came out, the Sixth Princess took back the words that were already on her lips.

The third prince and the eighth prince both saw that the eldest prince had some spare power in the previous challenge.

To be honest, so are they.

Otherwise, even if they exhaust Princess Ankang's strength, their efforts will be in vain if they don't win over Princess Ankang.

Seeing that the third prince was so knowledgeable, the eighth prince immediately agreed:

"Hehe, I think that's reasonable too."

The Sixth Prince was still a little unconvinced and was about to argue, but was stopped by the Fourth Prince.

"Okay, we agreed." The fourth prince responded directly.

"Fourth brother, what are you afraid of these two people wearing underpants?" The sixth princess was furious.

The third prince and the eighth prince tightened their furs at the same time, looking embarrassed.

"There are three of us, and they are only two."

"I'll take off their pants and furs now and let them cool down."

The Sixth Princess rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to challenge them directly.

The two brothers were so frightened that they silently clamped their legs to protect their underpants.

That is to say, it was covered by fur, otherwise such a shameful move would have been noticed by others.

Princess Ankang looked at her brothers and sisters joining forces to deal with her and discussing plans. She felt as if she had become the villain.

Not to mention, it’s quite a sense of accomplishment.

"Forget it, there's no point in us consuming each other's strength."

When the fourth prince said this, he stared closely at the indifferent Princess Ankang.

Although Princess Ankang started to make frequent mistakes, there was no sweat on her forehead and her breathing was not disordered.

At first, the fourth prince thought it was Princess Ankang who was holding her back to prevent others from seeing her actual state.

But as the game progressed to this point, he had a vague guess.

"You're not working together to trick us, are you?"

The fourth prince looked at the calm Princess Ankang, and then at the smiling Zhao Feng.

This additional match lasted for a long time, and all the money went into the pockets of these two people.

This match has been going on until now, and it has almost become a bottomless pit.

At present, Princess Ankang's challenge money has skyrocketed to 25,600 taels of silver, and this is the result of several internal conflicts among them, wasting the times on each other.

If they really used all the challenge times on Princess Ankang, I am afraid that the current challenge money will be even more terrifying.

No one thought that the challenge money, which started with only 100 taels, would reach such an outrageous number after being doubled continuously.

Of course, it is also possible that all of this is calculated by others.

The fourth prince looked at Princess Ankang and Zhao Feng, who were the calmest on the field, and felt a little bit of a dilemma.

He had just felt this feeling not long ago.

After all, the so-called Jinpeng Dynasty antiques taught him a deep lesson.

The fourth prince thought that the rational way now was to withdraw, but so many people were watching, especially their mother was also present.

In addition to the challenge money they had invested before, I am afraid that if they want to withdraw now, Concubine Zhang will not agree.

Rather than this, it is better to end it as soon as possible.

"Brother, you go to play rock-paper-scissors."

The eldest prince nodded and walked forward to play rock-paper-scissors.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince actually won.

"Fourth brother, how do you decide the order?"

The eldest prince asked the fourth prince happily.

But this stumped the fourth prince.

"These two bastards!"

The fourth prince glared at the other two who lost the rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors is not a simple game of luck, especially when playing with familiar people.

The eighth prince is extremely proficient in these "side doors and unorthodox methods", and the third prince has the advantage of cultivation, so it is not the eldest prince who should win.

It's not that the eldest prince is too suspicious, but this choice is too "cunning" for them.

The fourth prince glanced at Concubine Zhang who was watching them in the pavilion in the distance, and said with a dead look: "The eighth prince is first, the third prince is second, and we will challenge last."

The eldest prince and the sixth princess did not notice the abnormality of the fourth prince, but just nodded.

After all, this is the most reasonable order after they won the rock-paper-scissors game.

But they did not expect that if the eighth prince and the third prince lost, they would face a challenge of more than 100,000 taels of silver.

At that time, whether they challenged or not, it would be a deep pit.

The fourth prince now only hoped that the first two people could come up with a result, and it would not be their turn.

No matter how high Princess Ankang's monthly allowance is, how long will it take to save up 100,000 taels of silver?

This additional competition has been going on for a long time and it is no longer a question of monthly allowance or not.

They have been set up unconsciously, and it is impossible to step down safely without bleeding heavily once.

But now they want to turn back, I am afraid it is too late.

The Eighth Prince had already stepped forward, and Zhao Feng asked him:

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, a forced challenge to Princess Ankang will cost 25,600 silver taels."

"Have you considered it?"

The Eighth Prince swallowed his saliva nervously with a gulp. Just hearing this number made people dizzy.

Although he also earned about the same amount of money in the competition last month, it would be painful for him to spend his own money for a challenge.

"Do you really think I'm a fool to play with you?"

"Whoever wants to pay for these 20,000 silver taels can pay!"

That's right, the Eighth Prince regretted it.

No, it should be said that he had no intention of cooperating with others from the beginning.

Although he proposed the game of rock-paper-scissors, he just wanted to fool those fools to continue challenging Princess Ankang and not retreat.

He also deliberately lost the game of rock-paper-scissors to prevent any accidents.

"Hmm?"

Princess Ankang saw the Eighth Prince approaching her reluctantly, winking at him, her face twitching violently as if she had a stroke.

"Is my Eighth Prince uncomfortable?"

The Eighth Prince's mouth was making subtle lip movements, but Princess Ankang couldn't see what he wanted to say from a distance.

"...Return the money in full,...split 30% and 70%."

The Eighth Prince was still quietly gesturing to Princess Ankang and Zhao Feng with his hands behind his back to the First Prince and others.

He cut twice in the air, then pushed one portion to Princess Ankang, one portion to Zhao Feng, and the last small portion to himself.

Princess Ankang didn't hear what he said clearly, but Zhao Feng on the side heard it clearly.

Zhao Feng immediately asked with a fierce face: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince, are you still going to challenge or not?"

"Challenge, why not."

While the Eighth Prince was speaking, he kept winking at Zhao Feng, as if they were all his own people.

Zhao Feng ignored him and stretched out his hand:

"Pay the money!"
