Chapter VIII

His Majesty, the emperor who had a slightly sad mental journey, didn't know that his secret thoughts had been spied on by others, and he thought that it was top secret, but he just pretended to say, "Cough, isn't this a busy affair in the previous dynasty." ”

"Busy for a few months?"

The concubine's eyes are still clear, and her smile is still gentle and kind, but the emperor's face is a little hot, I don't know if she is fascinated or can't hang up, she just said, "Yes, yes." ”

However, the concubine didn't seem to really want His Majesty the Emperor to come to the stage, but it was a pity that her favorite mutton pot seemed to be unable to eat it today?

Xiao Xing wanted to go back to her palace building, but she had just moved over, and her things had not been sorted out, and the little palace maid who lived with her had not yet become familiar with it, so she always had to contact her feelings with everyone first, but she didn't expect that she was stopped by His Royal Highness the Seventh as soon as she came out of the door.

Looking at His Royal Highness the Seventh who had saved him just now, Xiao Xing was still very grateful, and at this time, she was not surprised to see His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness behaving abnormally and taking him to the path, and sure enough, when there was no one around, His Royal Highness the Seventh finally stopped.

He looked back at the round little palace maid, although he still felt that the other party was slightly not in line with his aesthetics, but when he thought of the sweet and soft red bean cake, His Royal Highness Seven felt that this round and round seemed to be quite cute?

He coughed lightly, organized his language, and said to Xiao Xing, "You went to get today's snack?"

Xiao Xing Chick pecked the rice and nodded, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

His Royal Highness the Seventh thought of the rich and unusually heavy pastries, and suddenly felt happy, and said with some reserve, "Very good." ”

I wanted to stop there, ordinary palace people should know what the master meant when they heard this, but thinking of Xiao Xing's simple brain circuit, His Royal Highness Seventh still added uneasily, "Continue to do this in the future, well, red bean cake will be a little more." ”

Seeing Xiao Xing nodding to indicate that she understood, His Royal Highness the Seventh left satisfied.

Xiao Xing wiped the sweat on her forehead, thinking of the red bean cake that His Royal Highness had just added, she couldn't help but laugh, but when she looked around, she couldn't laugh.

Wait, where did the Seventh Highness take her?

Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, how should she go back to the palace!

Not to mention how Xiao Xing finally found the right way back to the palace, on the other side, the emperor and the concubine Niangniang spent a good night, as for the slightly vain footsteps of the emperor when he got up in the morning, cough cough, there is no need to mention.

The second day is to go to the study to study, Xiao Xing is still on duty outside, with the familiarity of the environment, the increase of friends, Xiao Xing also gradually learned more things, such as the princes go to the study to study is a day off every nine days, three days off ......in a month; And there are many things that you know through the magic text box, not to mention the details of it.

For example, now, when the Sixth Highness entered the school, he secretly played with the crickets and then threw them into the desk of the Fifth Highness to frame him......

Xiao Xing looked at the Fifth Highness of the angry brother, and the Taifu with a very strict face, and really bowed a bitter tear for him, with such a bastard brother, the Fifth Highness is really hard.

Fortunately, with the impact of yesterday, Taifu was already very upstanding, but he increased the twenty times of the Emperor's Majesty's Analects to thirty times, looking at the Fifth Highness whose forehead was about to jump up, Xiao Xing shook his head and sighed silently.

However, the news of the present world came quickly, but in the afternoon, the five princes found an opportunity to take revenge.

Although the upper study room is called a room, it is actually a rather large palace, and in addition to the inner hall that serves as a classroom, there is also a rather large area outside as a martial arts arena.

The six arts of the gentleman - etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, although the necessary etiquette and righteousness are indispensable, but the archery is also indispensable, how can the emperor's son not be a civil and military all-rounder?

Even if you don't have the talent in this area, practicing martial arts can strengthen your body.

Therefore, the princes usually study in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon, and the all-round talent of civil and military affairs is the expectation of His Majesty the Emperor.

And Xiao Xing, who is on duty in the upper study, naturally has to follow in the afternoon.

The teacher who taught the prince's martial arts was the leader of Yu Linwei, who was said to be a tough-looking black-faced uncle, but on this day, it was a young little guard who came to teach the prince's martial arts, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was still very young, which made Xiaoxing very surprised.

And it was obviously not only Xiao Xing who was surprised, but even a few princes were a little strange, but the little guard just scratched his head and said, "Several highnesses, the commander went to the suburbs of Beijing to train today, so today's teaching will be performed by me first." ”

The deterrent power of the little guards is obviously not as big as the commander, no, I heard that the commander is not coming today, and a few little highnesses who are hindered by the punishment rules on weekdays suddenly couldn't sit still, and the youngest Nine Highnesses and Ten Highnesses are only three or four years old, which is the age when cats and dogs are disgusted.

Seeing this scene, the little guard was completely dumbfounded, and just wanted to shout, but saw that he suddenly hugged another one on his thigh, and then a milky voice sounded, "Who are you?"

Looking down, it was the eleventh prince who was only two years old and just came to play.

There was a burst of warmth on the thighs, and there was a faint smell of milk, looking at the noble child who was drooling and wanted to nibble on his guard uniform, the little guard was at a loss, "I, my name is Erniu." ”

"Poof. There was a faint crisp laughter, but it was not a few highnesses, but the little palace maid next to her, until she saw the little guard's blushing face, then she reached out to coax the ignorant eleventh prince away, which also made the little guard breathe a sigh of relief.

And after this experience, the prestige of the little guard has obviously dropped to the bottom, looking at the princes who are obviously not much obedient around, the little guard sighs deeply.

I thought that this errand was simple, just to let His Highness practice martial arts archery, and I wondered why my colleagues didn't come, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

However, errands always have to be dedicated, and since they have to teach on behalf of the commander, they must teach well, so although they have no hope in their prestige, the little guard still moves with all his heart.

Yes, it moved.

Before the actual class, you still have to warm up.

Compared with a few small ones, the five, six, seven, eighty, and four highnesses are still more reliable, at least they also exercised with the little guards, although the fifth prince is not in the state, the sixth prince is obviously hyperactive, the seventh prince is wandering out of the world, and the eighth prince's eyes are closed, but at least they still move, right?

The little guard was comforted, and swore in his heart that if there was a next time, he would never come again, and the prince's master was not good.

And after the warm-up, it was time to practice boxing, but unfortunately, today's little guard's road to the prince's division was obviously not smooth, and as soon as he praised the four princes, several highnesses gave him problems again.

"Master Erniu, can you practice Keju today?" the fifth prince suddenly said in a loud voice.

The little guard blinked, looking at several highnesses obviously embarrassed, although Keju also has the effect of exercising, but it is just a game, and I was about to refuse, but looking at the same bright eyes of several other people, listening to the sound of "Master Erniu", even the sixth highness actually wanted to put the eleventh prince into his arms, and the little guard was short of breath, so he had to turn a blind eye.

Anyway, Keju has a workout effect, right?

So the little guard succumbed, and several highnesses were very satisfied, although they had a fight with the fifth brother yesterday, but this mention was even more in line with their hearts.

There are a lot of exercise facilities and equipment in the school field, from small stone locks to swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, chain mail, etc., and this kick ball is naturally available.

The princes naturally don't play Keju for nothing like they usually entertain themselves, that is, there are no goals and other things, just play some tricks, and if they don't play in vain, then in addition to Keju ball, they also need to prepare goals.

The palace people were about to lift the goal with the eye of the wind on one side to the center of the school field as usual, but when they were about to pick it up, the fifth prince suddenly shouted to stop.

"Wait a minute, let's play something different today, how about it?"

As soon as he heard about the different ways to play, the curiosity of the sixth prince suddenly rose, he liked to play the most, and suddenly said, "What kind of play?"

The fifth prince smiled, "Keju games have existed since ancient times, but this Keju was not played like this in the earliest days, but a method of training, Keju is divided into two teams, each team has twelve people, and the goal is two points, but there is only one ball, only by grabbing the opponent and kicking the ball into the opponent's goal is considered to win." ”

The fifth prince's tone paused, as if he was digesting it by several other people, and then continued, "Although we changed the content of the exercise today, if Commander Guo came back and knew about it, he would definitely not be so easy to speak, and if he changed this method of training, even Commander Guo would have nothing to say." ”

Commander Guo is the commander of Yu Linwei, a black-faced man, several princes actually call him the black-faced god in their hearts, whoever calls him the emperor's support will not give face, several princes are not less trained on weekdays, and at this time, when they heard that the black-faced god had no reason to train, they were immediately moved.

Although this kind of physical confrontation is not so safe, it feels very exciting, and there are a total of twenty-four people playing together, which is very lively and fun when you think about it.

It's just, "What about the few players?"

It was the Seven Highnesses who were questioned, and they only had four, and the training said that they would have twenty-four, and their number was obviously not enough.

"Aren't there still palace people? "The fifth prince has been prepared for this for a long time, and since he has proposed a method, he will naturally not leave loopholes.

So the last problem was solved, and several princes were ready to start playing with great interest.

The venue facilities are prepared by the palace people, and the first thing the princes need to do is to divide the team.

The relationship between the Sixth Highness and the Seventh Highness is the best, so it is natural to be on a team, and the two Highnesses are divided into a team, then the remaining five princes are on a team with the Eighth Prince, and a few small ones are discharged from the team by slightly older children.

And the rest of the team members are selected from their respective palace people.

At this time, Xiao Xing also looked at the arrangement of several princes, and she didn't see anything at first, and Xiao Xing hadn't heard the word "Keju" either, just as an ancient entertainment, but when the place was arranged, the ball was taken out, and then the team was divided, and Xiao Xing saw it.

Isn't this football?

Xiao Xing's mouth opened wide, although eleven people became twelve, although the appearance of the ball is not the same, although the appearance of the goal is quite unique, but this whole arrangement, plus the rules, this is football.

Xiao Xing was very moved, I didn't expect people to be able to see things in their hometown in other places, although they have changed, but Xiao Xing is not disgusted at all, she is a die-hard fan in modern times.

Thinking that there will be a ball game to watch in a while, although the average age of the contestants is no more than fifteen years old, although the team leaders are all little children, Xiao Xing's heart is still excited, and she shouts for His Royal Highness the Seventh with a modern atmosphere in her heart.

Come on!

It's just that what Xiaoxing didn't expect was that she just wanted to be a spectator, and she was actually pulled into the team.

"Me?" Xiao Xing's eyes widened, looking at His Highness the Seventh.

His Royal Highness the Seventh had a very stern expression and was cold, but he seemed to be a little disgusted when he looked at it, "Yes, you are on a team with us." ”

Looking at the bright comment on the head of His Royal Highness Seven, "I always feel that it has lowered the level of the entire team", the corners of Xiao Xing's mouth twitched, and she was quite indignant, how to say, how to say that she is also a hardcore fan.

Although I have never played for many years, my theoretical level is very good.

And after looking around, Xiao Xing knew why even her little tangyuan was pulled into the team.

The standard configuration of palace people when each prince enters school is five people, two people are on duty outside, two people serve in the inner room, and one is specially matched by the martial arts school, and several young princes' palace people are not allowed to pull into the team, not to mention taboos, if something happens to the prince at this time, then whose responsibility is it?

So the princes could only start with their own people.

And there is one prince, five palace people, a total of four princes, then there are exactly twenty-four people, one more is not more, one less is not less, it is just right, so Xiao Xing was pulled into the team and became a member of the "six or seven" team.

And the game is about to start, the Sixth Highness and the Seventh Highness did not hesitate to start pointing out these palace people, although most of these people are older than the two princes and taller than them, but the difference between trained and untrained is still very big, so this game is basically the two highnesses taking the lead, as long as the rest of the palace people do not add to the chaos, the two princes will be satisfied.

And Xiao Xing is also concentrating at this time, of course, there are differences between modern football and the Keju rules here, she has to listen carefully.

It's just that after listening to it for a while, Xiao Xing couldn't help but embarrass her face, this rule, this rule...... Basically, there are no rules.

Compared with the modern strict rules, the rules of Keju are much simpler, except that you are not allowed to hold the ball with your hands, the two sides engage in direct physical contact confrontation, just like a war, and the one who kicks the bow into the opponent's goal wins.

Xiao Xing looked at the people in the surrounding palace who looked a little discolored, and felt a lot of affection.

The people in this palace look so undignified and unruly that they are bumping and grabbing the ball, and if they meet His Royal Highnesses, will they grab the ball or not?

Don't think about it, you definitely don't dare to rob it, otherwise you will offend Your Highness.

Therefore, although this keju seems to be intense, it is actually very meaningful.

Xiao Xing was a little excited, but it seemed that she saw the reluctance of the palace people, but the Sixth Highness and the Seventh Highness increased again, "This Keju, no matter whether you win or lose, each participant can get five hundred rewards." ”

500 bounty?!

Xiao Xing and the eyes of the palace people next to her lit up together, this is the moon in January, just like this, you can get it?

Xiao Xing suddenly felt that Keju was so good, Keju was croaking, and she couldn't wait to come every day, so in less than a month, she would be able to reach the peak of the little palace maid.

As if it wasn't exciting enough, His Highness the Seventh added after His Highness finished speaking, "If you win this time, the reward can be increased by another five hundred." ”

Add another five hundred, and that's not it...... A thousand bucks?

Xiao Xing gasped, and suddenly felt that the breathing around her was much heavier, and when she looked around, everyone had the same expression, that is-fight!

Xiao Xing also clenched her fists, although she is a theorist, but, under the temptation of a thousand dollars, Xiao Xing feels that she can also become a man of action!

The pre-war mobilization has been completed, and the Sixth and Seventh Highnesses walked towards the venue with a group of majestic and high-spirited palace people, while on the other side, the Fifth and Eighth Princes were also mobilized, but compared to the unity of the "Six or Seven Teams", the "Five and Eight Teams" were not so harmonious.

The sun is so big, the sun is so warm and warm, and there is a breeze with the fragrance of flowers, His Royal Highness just wants to sleep beautifully in the surroundings of heaven and earth at this moment.

But there are also martial arts classes.

His Royal Highness, who can never wake up, feels that the world is really unfriendly, and finally the black-faced god who is most afraid of him did not come, and His Royal Highness is secretly happy that he can be lazy, but the fifth brother wants to bow again.

How tired Keju is, His Royal Highness thinks that so many people are chasing a ball, but he feels that he can't understand it, what is the meaning of this? How can he play chess with Zhou Gong to relieve his boredom.

But after the fifth brother said the "benefits" of Keju and found him a favorite position, His Royal Highness finally nodded.

He could just stand there without moving, and that's what he likes to do the most.

That's right, the position that the Fifth Highness arranged for the Eighth Highness is the gatekeeper!

With the Eighth Highness guarding the door, which small palace person dares to enter the door without long eyes?

And Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are different, if the two of them are separated, then the remaining one will definitely not be his opponent, so His Royal Highness Thinking in his heart, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi will lose miserably, and suddenly touched his chin and smiled.

The Fifth Highness thought that he had a plan, so he didn't care much about those palace people, but just roughly explained the rules, and one side was afraid of being nervous, and the other side was high-spirited, this stark contrast is not difficult to understand.

So the first Keju competition of the martial arts school royal court kicked off in this way with the sound of the horn of the Erniu little guard.
