On August 10th, the Kemari Contest finally began. This day is not lively, the Song people like to bow, up to the officials and nobles, down to the people in the market, all looking forward to this day, it can be said that this is the whole ** movement of the Great Song Dynasty. The competition venue is still in the South Park, which was closed the day before the start of the game for internal site cleaning.

Song Ting knows how to have fun with the people, so the Keju Contest over the years is never closed, it is open to the outside world, and ordinary people can also come here to watch it for free, so on the evening of August 9, some people came here to queue up for the opening of the park, just to grab a good position in the front, and there is a sense of queuing up to buy tickets in later generations.

The South Park is the size of four football fields and can accommodate many people, but the best viewing position in the southeast is reserved for the princes and nobles, including the forbidden area within a radius of more than ten meters, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach, which is also for the safety of the emperor and the princes and nobles.

The northeast is the resting place of the various Keju teams, at this time Li Ce has led the team to wait here, and several other Keju teams have also arrived, there are a total of eight teams participating in this year's competition, one among the people, and the rest are the princes and nobles, because the cost of raising a Keju team is quite high, so even the average wealthy family can't afford it.

The seven teams belong to Prime Minister Ding Wei, Privy Envoy Zhang Qi, Xiaoyuan King Zhao Ji, Deputy Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Eight Sages King Zhao Yuanyan, Privy Deputy Envoy Xia Zhu, and then Zhao Zhen's branch.

At this time, it was the middle of the day, and the early dynasty had not yet dispersed, so the court officials had not yet come, but the people in the market had already occupied the various stands in the South Park.

Li Ce came out and took a turn, and couldn't help but sigh that this grand occasion was about to catch up with the football games of later generations, and he couldn't imagine that the ancients also liked sports so much. He was watching with interest when a middle-aged scribe dressed like a merchant grabbed him and said urgently, "Brother Tai, have you bet?" There are 10 participating teams this year, and the highest odds have reached 1 to 10! ”

Li Ce was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help blurting out: "Isn't this **?" Does the court care? The man rolled his eyes and said, "What**? Why did the imperial court order that bets were not allowed? Many court officials are very enthusiastic, and just now Lord Du's official family came over and pledged five hundred taels of silver! I'll be honest with you, hurry up, it'll be too late later! Don't regret it. ”

Li Ce smiled dumbly, and said in his heart: "Ancient gambling houses and Qinglou are not prohibited, not to mention this small bet guessing ball, go and see how many people bet on their own Keju team." ”

As soon as the man saw Li Ce agree, he was overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards the northwest corner of the South Garden, because he pulled over the head bet, and he himself had a cut.

The northwest corner has been surrounded by a lot of people at this time, one of which is a large wooden board, about the same size as the blackboard of later generations, on which the owners of the ten teams are written with a brush, Li Ce saw at a glance that the bottom place is written "Zhao Guanjia" three big characters, and the odds behind are actually - one to ten!

Li Ce's eyes widened, and he deliberately leaned forward, wanting to confirm whether he was wrong, "Damn, is there a mistake, it is actually the bottom?" He couldn't help but scold secretly, this was too bad for Zhao Zhen.

What's even more embarrassing is that even with such high odds, no one is betting on this team, even if it's a silver tael...... In the first place, it is generally believed that the highest winning rate is Xiao Yuan Wang Zhao Ji, and his odds are basically one to one, but many people still bet on him.

Li Ce stood and watched for a while, and there were people constantly betting in the middle, some betting on Zhao Ji, some betting on the private team, some betting on Lu Yijian and Zhao Yuanyan, that is, no one was betting on Zhao Zhen's team, he finally couldn't hold it back, and pulled a person over: "Brother Tai, why don't you bet on His Majesty's team?" ”

The man looked at Li Ce like an idiot and said, "Are you blind, you don't see that the odds are all ten to one, and no one is going to bet?" I'm telling you, if you bet on this team, then your money is basically like a waste! Your Majesty...... This team sucks. ”

Li Ce was dumbfounded: "You...... You ......", the man said impatiently, "Hey, stay without betting, don't stand in our way." ”

Li Ce felt that he was deeply despised, he took out the only thirty taels of silver on his body, and shouted, "Give me that one!" ”

"Oh, brother, you mean this one?" The rich man who was in charge of betting on the side hurriedly pointed to Zhao Zhen's team and asked.

"Yes!" Li Ce nodded firmly.

"Shh......hh

"Okay, come, Ah San, make a note to this brother, bet on Zhao Guan's family, thirty taels, one to ten!" The man shouted loudly, for fear that Li Ce would repent.

"This person is crazy about money." Someone scoffed disdainfully.

"Zhao Guanjia's Keju team, it is at the bottom every year, and it has never won ......"

Li Ce can finally understand Zhao Zhen's mood now, as the king of a country, it is indeed sad to be ignored like this......

When Li Ce came back, he found that there was actually a group of girls gathered in the rest place of the Keju team, one of them was wearing a light green collared skirt, holding a flying bun, covering his mouth with his hands and giggling. Li Ce couldn't help but secretly rejoice, could it be that there are cheerleaders or female fans in this era? He hurried forward.

"Hey, why does this beauty's back look a little familiar......" Li Ce hasn't left the house since he discovered the beauty, he muttered while looking sideways to see her face.

"Huh?!" When there were still five or six steps away, as soon as the beauty in the pale green dress turned around, Li Ce was startled - how could it be Zhao Qin'er! He subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but he didn't think that Zhao Qin'er also saw him, and as soon as she saw Li Ce turn around, she knew that this guy was going to run.

"Li Ce, you stop me!" Zhao Qin'er's apricot eyes widened, and Qianqianyu pointed to Li Ce.

"Oh my God, why is this aunt here?" Li Ce was rubbing around, looking around for Zhao Zhen to see if he had come, but he was disappointed after looking around, Zhao Zhen didn't come, it's over, no one can take care of this aunt and grandmother.

"Hehe, princess, you're here, you're here to visit the villain, right?" Li Ce said with a smile, he wanted to stretch out his hand and not hit the smiling person, Zhao Qin'er would never be so rude.

"Whew! I'm here to see you? Zhao Qin'er frowned, raised her foot and kicked at Li Ce.

Li Ce had already prevented her from making a sudden move, and when he saw her right foot moving, he had already flashed to the side in advance. "Hehe, the princess is still so agile." Li Ce deliberately teased her.

"Shameless!" Zhao Qin'er scolded in a low voice.

"Who is this man? It's so skinless and faceless. The girl behind Zhao Qin'er in a purple long satin skirt frowned and asked, that girl was also beautiful.

Zhao Qin'er's face turned red when she heard this, and her expression seemed to be a little angry, but she didn't turn around to talk to the person.

"Sister Qin'er, who is this person? Why is it so big, not small, and ignorant of etiquette? The girl in the purple dress stepped forward and looked Li Ce up and down in disgust.

Li Ce did not wear a long robe today, but changed into a gray short brown, and also tied his waist and cuffs, which looked heroic, in fact, Zhao Qin'er saw him dressed like this, and her eyes lit up, but she didn't say it, she didn't expect this girl in the purple skirt to look down on Li Ce because of this, thinking that he was just a martial artist.

Li Ce heard her call Zhao Qin'er's sister, and said in his heart, could it be that this girl in purple is also a princess? looks at his temper, it seems that he is better than Zhao Qin'er.

Zhao Qin'er snorted and replied: "Sister Ziyu, when people talk to me, I'm not angry, what are you anxious about." ”

Oh, it turns out that this girl's name is Ziyu, Li Ce secretly observed the expressions of the two, and said in his heart, it seems that the two of them don't deal with each other, hey, these two princesses quarreled, but don't implicate yourself, I still feel it.

"Stop, you come back to me!" Zhao Qin'er saw that Li Ce was about to slip away, and stopped him with a coquettish shout.

Li Ce turned his head with a sad face, looking pitiful and helpless. The girl in purple couldn't help laughing when she saw him so embarrassed. Zhao Qin'er glanced back when she heard her laughing, and snorted lightly, she stepped forward and lowered her head to Li Ce and whispered, "Can you fight for me!" ”

Li Ce was embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, what kind of anger should I fight for you?" ”

"I don't care! If you want to make me lose face today, I will tell the queen mother about it!" Zhao Qin'er glared at her and threatened viciously.

Li Ce was petrified in an instant, and said in his heart:, you are ruthless!

Zhao Qin'er was even more annoyed when she saw him stunned, and stretched out her jade foot and stomped on the instep of his foot.

"Oops!" Li Ce was in pain, jumped away at once, and continued to look at Zhao Qin'er with a sad face, he saw Zhao Qin'er's apricot eyes glaring, hurriedly recovered his serious look, made a polite appearance, and bowed his hand and said: "I don't know why the princess came today?" "Li Ce's previous life in the bank was trained in special etiquette, temperament, it's not just that he just came, what kind of aura he exudes when he sees someone, this is not difficult for him.

Zhao Qin'er saw that he instantly regained his spirits, and his gestures were quite a bit of a romantic and talented person, and what was even more rare was that there was such a trace of manhood in the middle.

The girl in purple was also stunned, she couldn't imagine that this man who was like a scoundrel on the street still had such an aura.

Zhao Qin'er's face looked much better, and she said softly: "The imperial brother hasn't gone down to the early court yet, and he entrusted me to come over to see how the Keju team is prepared." ”

"Oh, this thing, no problem, whoever meets will kill whom." Li Ce squeezed his eyes and said with a hippie smile again.

Zhao Qin'er was a little happy when she heard this, what she wanted was this kind of guarantee, so she didn't pursue him for being unserious this time.

However, the girl in purple seemed to have heard something extremely funny, she covered her mouth and laughed so much that even the other girls behind her giggled, obviously they didn't believe Li Ce, and even thought he was a little bragging.

Zhao Qin'er looked at the girl named Ziyu angrily, Ziyu tried to calm her chest when she saw this, and slowly stopped laughing, she coughed twice and said: "Oh, Sister Qin'er, if you can get rid of the last place this time, it will be considered progress, and the others" Don't think about it, as for the first, let it be left to my Zhao Ji. ”

Zhao Ji? Xiao Yuan Wang? Li Ce suddenly realized that this person named Ziyu was the sister of Zhao Ji, the king of Xiaoyuan, Princess Yonggu, named Zhao Ziyu.
