Li Xuan ran away, leaving Caiyun Palace without looking back, not daring to stay here.

The aura of those eunuchs in Xuanyi just now was not weaker than that of ordinary eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes.

There are even more than that.

These people should be the cronies of the concubines in the palace.

Although most of the good men in the palace are wearing flowered clothes, the flower-clothed eunuchs are directly under the Internal Affairs Office after all, and they are nominally Zhao Feng's subordinates.

Such a eunuch in a flowery dress, no matter how high the strength is, how dare the concubines use it with confidence.

But these eunuchs in Xuanyi are different, they are cultivated by the concubines at their own expense.

If there is an opportunity in the future, Deng Weixian can also take this path and become a close confidant of Wang Suyue.

At that time, although he was wearing Xuanyi, his strength and status were not inferior to the eunuchs in flowery clothes, and he might even far surpass them.

After all, no matter how strong the internal affairs government is, it also needs to support many eunuchs in flowery clothes.

can become a nobleman's cronie, that is a treatment that only a few people have.

The two are not the same.

Li Xuan had no choice but to stop tonight.

At this time, it is not advisable to forcibly listen to the situation in the Cloud Palace, otherwise under the strict guard of those Xuanyi eunuchs, it is very likely that they will fold themselves in.

Thinking back to the previous killing intent that seemed to be like substance, he was still in shock.

"A good master in the end, not even a kitten."

"Is this still human? Is there a heavenly principle? ”

Li Xuan had no choice but to scold and go home, waiting to see if something would happen tomorrow.

……

From the next day, Li Xuan personally came to stare at Deng Weixian, for fear that he didn't know when someone would invite him to tea.

Deng Weixian didn't seem to sleep well last night, and he was in a trance all day.

As long as he heard someone suddenly call his name, he couldn't help but stiffen, and only after finding out that it was other palace maids in the other courtyard who called him, he would slowly relax.

If Li Xuan could speak, he would have wanted to ask Deng Weixian in person what the poem on the silk cloth meant, and why it made him so nervous.

And so it passed a day, two days, three days......

The days passed, but nothing happened in the palace.

In the past few days, Deng Weixian's godfather has also disappeared, and he has not appeared again at night.

This made Deng Weixian a little absent-minded when he practiced every night.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel more and more confused, wondering if something was wrong.

He began to wonder if his operation was redundant, and let the matter go to the abyss of the unknown.

But no matter what, Deng Weixian is safe so far.

Whether it was his godfather or other people in the palace, they had no intention of looking for him.

But even such a calm still made Li Xuan and Deng Weixian feel uneasy.

It all looks like it's just the calm before the storm.

……

As the days passed, it was time for the next gathering in the Imperial Garden.

This month there will also be what Emperor Yongyuan called a "fun competition".

But it was a little different from the last time, neither Zhao Feng nor Mr. Shang came to inform the content of the game in advance.

Even Li Xuan and Princess Ankang thought that maybe it was just the first time that they were a little special.

But after all, they had tasted the sweetness once, and they were looking forward to the fun competition in the Imperial Garden more than anyone else.

On the day of the competition, the three little ones of Jingyang Palace appeared early in the imperial garden.

It's hard to suppress the anticipation, but I also want to see in advance if I can guess the content of today's game through the layout of the venue.

If it's the same as the last time, it's still related to taming beasts, I'm afraid that Li Xuan will still have to rattle and kill indiscriminately and win the grand prize for Jingyang Palace.

It's just that their little cleverness clearly did not come in handy.

The original site of the Imperial Garden has long since been demolished and restored to its original appearance.

And there are many people who share the same thoughts as them.

Many princes and princesses, accompanied by their mothers, came to the scene early, found their own places, and waited comfortably for the game to start under the service of their attendants.

And Li Xuan found that several of them seemed to be extraordinarily confident.

Of course, the princes and princesses have always been full of self-confidence.

In the last animal taming competition, Li Xuan had already seen it.

It's just that after experiencing a failure, they can still be so confident and calm, maybe this is the so-called royal bearing.

Li Xuan didn't think much about it, and lay in Princess Ankang's arms with peace of mind, waiting for the start of the game.

According to his expectations, I'm afraid he won't show much this time.

Emperor Yongyuan couldn't have the same question every time.

And the last time Li Xuan was among the taming beasts, he had already shown overwhelming strength.

If a similar animal taming competition is held, it would be better to save everyone's time and award the prizes directly to Princess Ankang.

If Emperor Yongyuan was really so eccentric, I was afraid that all the princes, princesses, and concubines present would be fried on the spot.

As more and more people arrived, everyone began to hug each other clearly, stand with people they knew well, and talk in low voices.

And the three little ones in Jingyang Palace are still the same as last time, obediently finding a corner and keeping a low profile.

It's just that after winning a game last time, they were destined to attract the attention of others.

From time to time, some people set their eyes on Princess Ankang, but more often they looked at Li Xuan with greedy eyes.

In their opinion, the seemingly ordinary black cat in Princess Ankang's arms was an artifact to win competitions such as beast training.

In the last competition, Li Xuan's performance was obvious to all.

To have such a humane pet by your side, even if it is not used for competition, it is a pleasure to have fun.

"I don't know what luck our sick princess had, she was able to get such a clever little cutie, and let her win the glory of the sky."

"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, but he actually gave her three meals a day with imperial specifications."

When they mentioned this, they couldn't help but grit their teeth in anger.

"Forget it, let it pass."

"Today's game can't be won with good luck."

As soon as these words came out, these concubines who were discussing things in a whisper around couldn't help but show an inexplicable smile.

Zhao Feng, who was in charge of presiding over the competition, soon came to the Imperial Garden.

With his arrival, a group of eunuchs in flowery clothes brought tables and chairs for the two of them to sit opposite each other, and they were neatly placed in the open space of the imperial garden.

Everyone present immediately stopped chatting and sat upright.

After the tables and chairs were arranged, another delicate chessboard was placed on the table, and there were two chess jars woven of purple bamboo in the middle of the chessboard.

Seeing this scene, many concubines and ladies kept a straight face, looked down, and pretended to be light-hearted.

And the younger princes and princesses couldn't help but be overjoyed and more confident.

Li Xuan silently opened his eyes and watched Zhao Feng command the eunuch in flower clothes to arrange the scene.

"Do you play Go?"

Then he shook his head secretly.

"It looks like it's going to be a no-brainer today."

Although the three little ones in Jingyang Palace can play backgammon, only Princess Ankang can play a little bit of Go.

But even Princess Ankang only knows some basic rules, and she is not proficient in this way.

After all, only Concubine Xiao taught him these things before, unlike other princes and princesses, there are many art masters, no matter what you want to learn, someone will teach you when you say it.

Seeing that Princess Ankang and Yu'er also guessed the content of the game on the chessboard, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly, both understanding that today's chances of winning were not good.

They had won once before, and as a result, it brought earth-shaking changes to Jingyang Palace, and the quality of life was even more sky-high, no longer starving, and it could even be said that they became rich overnight.

Although the word "get rich overnight" really doesn't match a princess, it is the case.

I thought that I would be lucky enough to make another fortune today, but now it seems that this luck has come to an end.

Li Xuan looked at the concubines in the audience boredly, and found that Queen Wu was not present again.

Compared to the other concubines and princesses, Empress Wu didn't seem to be interested in the competition in this imperial garden.

Feng Zhaoyuan, who he cared about, was naturally not there.

Feng Zhaoyuan's children have not been born, so what are you doing to join in the fun.

But just when Li Xuan was thinking like this, he suddenly saw Feng Zhaoyuan actually walked into the imperial garden accompanied by his attendants, and then walked into a pavilion with a smile.

Li Xuan looked at Feng Zhaoyuan's arrival with some surprise.

He clearly remembered that Feng Zhaoyuan didn't come last time.

Feng Zhaoyuan stepped into the pavilion, and then respectfully saluted a concubine who was sitting in the first place.

That person Li Xuan recognized that it was Zhao Shufei.

The Cloud Stopping Palace that Feng Zhaoyuan found that night was the residence of this person.

Concubine Zhao Shufei looks about the same age as Concubine Zhang Guifei, but she always has a gentle smile on her face, which makes people willing to get close to her.

She saw Feng Zhaoyuan coming and beckoned her to sit beside her.

The seat to her right had been empty, obviously for Feng Zhaoyuan.

Then after they sat down, they smiled and smiled, and the atmosphere was much better than the pavilion on Concubine Zhang's side.

Zhang Guifei was as solemn as her dead father, and she didn't even dare to gasp.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel sad for the concubines under Zhang Guifei.

"The style of leadership is also very important."

Even in the pavilion on Zhang Guifei's side, he would not be surprised that someone suddenly couldn't stand it and hanged himself on the spot.

"There are always people who like to pass on their pressure to others."

Li Xuan sighed with emotion, yawned, and continued to sleep.

Now this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, he just needs to be a cute little kitten.

But not long after Li Xuan closed his eyes, his brain suddenly twitched, and a flash of inspiration flashed.

The poems on the silk cloth suddenly became clear in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but stare at the chessboards that had already been placed on the field.

"Go!?"

"That poem is about Go!"

"So simple and crude?"

Li Xuan suddenly figured out the meaning of the poem.

"Win the military management period, and don't kill the land."

"The half-dead circumference is interrupted, and the whole life festival is divided."

"The geese are not false wings, and the gust is cloudless."

"Playing this Sun Wuyi, pleasant and quiet atmosphere."

Li Xuan is not illiterate, at least he can understand the basic meaning of these verses.

Isn't this the game of Go?

He thought there was something important hidden in the verse.

It turned out to be just to pass on two words: "Go".

But when he connected with the scene in front of him, Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Deng Weixian's godfather leaked the emperor's question?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel that this nature was even worse than the leakage of questions in the imperial examination.

This is Emperor Yongyuan himself to test his child!

Thinking about this problem, Li Xuan realized what Deng Weixian was involved in.

"No wonder if it happens, even he can't keep Deng Weixian."

It's just that in this way, Li Xuan is even more unclear about Deng Weixian's godfather's purpose.

"Does he want to be left and right?"

Li Xuan's big eyes were full of light, and after his curiosity was satisfied, it simply made him sour to the extreme.

But as he figured out a question, a new one arose.

Naturally, there are many people who are just as excited as him.

Zhao Shufei and Feng Zhaoyuan quietly exchanged glances, and the meaning was self-evident.

That night, when Feng Zhaoyuan suddenly came to her with the piece of silk cloth, Zhao Shufei also had suspicions.

But even if this matter is wrong, there will not be too much loss, so he quietly ordered that the concubines on the noble side prepare for their children.

Judging from the current results, they have a lot more chances of winning this game.

Zhao Shufei quietly observed Zhang Guifei's movements, and found that she was still the same as usual, with a cold face, and even her brows were furrowed a little.

Seeing Concubine Zhang's expression clearly, Concubine Zhao Shufei breathed a sigh of relief.

She is not interested in the storage position, she knows very well how many catties and taels she has.

Concubine Zhao Shu's purpose is very simple, as long as the eldest prince does not score points on His Majesty's side, she will be satisfied.

The main thing is a trick-or-treat.

Thanks to "Qingyue" for your support.

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

There is another chapter in the evening, and I will continue after eating.
