Seeing that everyone had no other questions, Zhao Feng left the Imperial Garden with the results of the draw, and the others also dispersed, busy preparing for the game three days later.

Keju is a relatively popular sport in Daxing, and most teenagers and girls will have some.

It's just that some people prefer Keju and are therefore proficient in it, while others are not interested in it and are more rusty with their skills.

But now that Keju has become this month's competition, the princes and princesses have to pay attention.

At least they had three days to prepare, not to mention that they could improve their skills, and how could they carefully select the attendants who could play Kemari better.

Either way, they all need to work hard.

And, from this month onwards, many people have one more goal.

That is to help the people you support to get first.

Especially now that the matchup of the qualifiers has been decided, the operability in this is greater.

While the others were busy, the Eighth Prince invited Princess Ankang to sit in his small courtyard for a while.

"Ankang, it's rare for you to go back to the palace once recently, go to my place and sit down and then leave the palace."

The renovation of Jingyang Palace is a big deal in the palace, and the Eighth Prince naturally heard about it.

And looking at his appearance, it seems that he has something to say to Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed, and also wanted to see if the eighth prince had anything to say here.

"That, that, starling, I'm going too!"

Princess Yuan'an on the side said cheekily.

Because of his request, he didn't call "Lao Ba" as usual, but called "Starling" well.

"Whatever you want."

The eighth prince didn't care, and responded casually with a smile.

The three of them went to the Eight Emperors' Courtyard together, and a group of attendants followed them.

After coming to the Escape Courtyard, the Eighth Prince retired from his close attendants.

Princess Yuan'an also did the same, letting her close attendants wait outside.

They are all in the royal family, and they still have this bit of eyesight.

Then the two looked at Princess Ankang silently.

As a result, Princess Ankang spread her hands and said:

"I'm just such a close attendant, starling, if you have something to say, just say it."

Yu'er was ready to retire, but Princess Ankang grabbed her hand and forced her to stay.

As soon as the eighth prince heard Princess Ankang's words, he felt that it made sense, so he also acquiesced in the move of letting Yu'er stay, and immediately spoke:

"The boss has attracted a lot of people, and I'm afraid you won't have it so easy this month's game."

Hearing this, Princess Ankang's heart moved, and she couldn't help asking:

"Then how many people are going to help the eldest brother?"

"Half of it." The Eighth Prince replied with an ambiguous number, and then said: "During the time you were not in the palace, Concubine Zhang Guifei was busy with a lot of things. ”

"Xu thinks that the boss and the three of them can't succeed, and now they will end up in person."

"During this time, there are many people behind the scenes who say that Zhang Guifei is not, but since people are open-minded, they definitely don't care about these gossips."

"It's just that Zhang Guifei has done this, if the boss and the three of them can't get some results, they will definitely be very embarrassed in the end."

It is not difficult to hear that there is a lot of schadenfreude in the words of the eighth prince.

But Li Xuan and Princess Ankang frowned in unison.

People don't know, but they know it.

The pressure on the eldest prince has reached a certain level, and he even visited Jingyang Palace in person before, and he was a little out of shape in front of them.

Zhang Guifei's behavior on weekdays is already suffocating enough.

Now that he has been forced to be in a hurry, he has increased his strength by another level.

Even Li Xuan couldn't help but feel sad for the three siblings.

"It's impossible for them to win if they want to."

"As for their crazy old lady, let's let them have a headache by themselves."

Li Xuan shook his head, it was none of his business.

"Of course, there are still a lot of people who haven't been co-opted by the boss."

The Eighth Prince continued.

"Because of their position, it is impossible for these people to help Zhang Guifei and the boss."

"But at the moment, they don't have a suitable supporter, after all, there are only five people with points now, of which the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince occupy three positions, which is considered a family."

"Other than that, it's you and me."

The eighth prince said, pointing to Princess Ankang and himself.

Princess Yuan'an, who was listening on the side, suddenly felt that she was excluded from the circle again, and couldn't help but snort lightly.

"Yuan'an, what are you humming?"

"Who told you not to compete well before?"

The eighth prince counted Princess Yuan'an, and then returned to the topic:

"These people who have no chance of winning will not give up easily, and will even intensify their trouble, such as the third child."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Although he still didn't know the intention of the eighth prince to invite Princess Ankang over today, he also heard the dissatisfaction of the eighth prince with the third prince in his tone.

It seems that the beam between these two people is not small.

The last time he was in the autumn hunting competition, Li Xuan saw that when the two of them moved, they were full of emotions.

I'm afraid I've accumulated a lot of contradictions before.

"Is this the eighth child trying to find Ankang to deal with the third child together?"

"But the third child didn't have any points at all, and was completely eliminated from the final competition."

"Do you want to take advantage of the last few games to have a good show?"

When Li Xuan was guessing what the Eighth Prince wanted to do, Princess Yuan'an, who was listening to the side, couldn't bear it for a while.

"Old eight, what do you want to do after talking about it for so long?"

"Haven't you already said all this in the Imperial Garden?"

Princess Yuan'an pillowed her chin on her hand, frowned, and said impatiently.

"Adults talk, children don't interject!"

The Eighth Prince replied angrily.

Then he coughed dryly, and it was not difficult to hear that there was considerable embarrassment.

"Ankang, the starling didn't mean anything else when he was looking for you today, he just wanted you to do me a favor."

When Princess Ankang heard this, she immediately smiled and said:

"Ouch, starling, aren't you out of sight?"

"If you want my little sister to help, you just say it, why don't you need to beat around the bush like this."

Li Xuan also wanted to see what the Eighth Prince wanted Princess Ankang to help, and he made such a big turn.

"I heard that you tamed a white tiger at Hong Lim Court during the last autumn hunting competition?"

"Yes."

Princess Ankang didn't expect the Eighth Prince to mention Dabai.

"How are you training this white tiger?"

"It's kind of obedient." Princess Ankang looked at Li Xuan in her arms and replied honestly.

"In that case, can you lend me one?"

The Eighth Prince hesitated for a long time and finally said his request.

Hearing this, Princess Ankang and Li Xuan were stunned for a moment, and looked at him with strange eyes.

Princess Yuan'an and Yu'er on the side are no better.

"What are you doing with a good white tiger who is good at training?"

Li Xuan furrowed his small brows, trying to find a suitable excuse for the Eighth Prince.

The eighth prince was stared at inexplicably by several people, and immediately explained:

"I'm just borrowing a ride, what do you want?"

This sentence made Li Xuan, who was still trying to find an excuse for the Eighth Prince, suddenly widen his eyes in shock.

"So big, and so playful?"

Li Xuan was furious.

"Speaking of which, this is also a trouble left over from the last autumn hunting competition."

"I teamed up with those little beans and promised them to make amends after that."

"As a result, a few of them who were killed later were taught a lesson by their respective mothers, and I really didn't want to go."

"I just heard that Ankang has newly domesticated a white tiger, so I want to borrow this white tiger of yours to make the little beans happy once, and it should be me to repay their favor."

After hearing the words of the Eighth Prince, everyone showed a sudden expression.

Otherwise, Princess Ankang and the others really thought that the eighth prince liked the new and hated the old, and wanted to exchange his Haidongqing for the white tiger.

"Oh~"

"That's what happened."

Princess Ankang breathed a sigh of relief, she really thought that the Eighth Prince was going to talk to her about it.

"Or what do you think?" The Eighth Prince asked strangely.

"Uh, nothing." Princess Ankang snorted, and then diverted the topic: "It's not difficult to borrow Dabai, but Dabai is still raised in Fanglin Garden, and Manager Zhao told me before that after the renovation of Jingyang Palace is completed, Dabai can be brought to Jingyang Palace." ”

"When I wait until that time to borrow the White Tiger, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" The Eighth Prince immediately asked.

Princess Ankang nodded and agreed.

"Okay, good, Ankang really helped me a lot!"

The Eighth Prince jumped up happily, with a smile on his face.

Li Xuan didn't expect that he had been beating around the bush for a long time, just to please the little beans with Dabai.

It seems that he, the child king, can continue to be the king.

After all, the Eighth Prince is so attentive to those little beans, how can he not be supported by the little beans.

Li Xuan can see that in terms of playing, the Eighth Prince is sincere and does not have any other thoughts.

If he was born in an ordinary family, the eighth prince must be a good brother.

"You've been inking for a long time, just to borrow a tiger?"

Princess Yuan'an, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but complain.

She watched the Eighth Prince pave the way for a long time, and thought it was a big deal.

"Yuan'an, what do you know, do you know the meaning of a big tiger to the little beans?"

"And this is a rare white tiger!"

The eighth prince was heartbroken by Princess Yuan'an's ignorance, and he beat his chest in anger.

Princess Yuan'an didn't care about the reaction of the Eighth Prince, and subconsciously turned her gaze to Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms.

"How can a big tiger be as cute as Ah Xuan."

"I don't know who it is?"

Princess Yuan'an glanced at the excited Eighth Prince unconvinced.

Princess Ankang was arguing with the two of them, sitting quietly on the side, silently stroking Li Xuan's soft fur.

"Superficial human beings."

Li Xuan secretly complained to himself.

……

After having lunch in the Eighth Prince's Courtyard, the three little ones took their leave and left.

When they returned to the Internal Affairs Office, Zhao Feng had already let the carriage wait for them here.

When sending them out of the palace, Zhao Feng said that the day of going to the Thousand Star Pavilion this month was postponed to after the competition.

In this regard, the three little ones also expressed their understanding.

In terms of the arrangement of the date of going to the Thousand Star Pavilion, the three little ones have always trusted Zhao Feng and believe that he can make the best arrangements.

At the time of parting, Li Xuan patted Zhao Feng with his tail, and then the person stood up, wrote and asked:

"All four of my legs must be considered feet, right?"

"You can't count the hands in the front two and the feet in the back, right?"

When it comes to the rules of the game, Li Xuan must ask more clearly.

The corners of Zhao Feng's eyes twitched, but he didn't expect Li Xuan to be quite particular about the rules.

"For tamers, the rule that you can't touch the ball with your hand doesn't apply."

"Ah Xuan, not every tamed beast is as smart as you, and you can distinguish the rules clearly, and you will be entangled in which leg counts as a hand and which leg counts as a foot."

"If you can train the tamer to be able to kick and bow, it's already a big deal."

"Where could I ask for more."

Zhao Feng explained helplessly.

After all, there was no way to use Li Xuan's wisdom to ask for other beast tamers, that would be unfair.

Not to mention that Li Xuan's cat is much more refined than ordinary people.

After getting Zhao Feng's affirmative answer, Li Xuan also put his mind at ease.

After the three little ones returned to Xingqing Palace in a carriage, they began to practice juju non-stop.

The three of them are all Keju Xiaobai, and even this is the first time I've seen the ball used to kick Keju.

Mr. Shang helped them find the ball, then set up the goal, and found a few eunuchs in flowery clothes who could bow to accompany them to practice.

Princess Ankang's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and the speed of getting started is also extremely fast.

Yu'er is also a martial artist no matter how she says, and she is not slow to learn at all.

As for Li Xuan......

He lay on the back of the net and became a goalkeeper.

The eye on the goal for the ball to pass through was already narrow, and Li Xuan could stop all attacks with his tail alone lying on it.

When Mr. Shang saw Li Xuan playing Keju like this, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Ah Xuan, players are not allowed to touch the goal directly, otherwise they will be fouled."

Hearing this, Li Xuancai reluctantly jumped off the goal and fell to the ground.

At this time, it was the turn of the three small ones to attack.

Princess Ankang lightly flapped the ball twice, and then passed it to Li Xuan.

"Ah Xuan, you come!"

The ball flew towards Li Xuan, but Li Xuan was still lying on the ground looking lazy.

I saw that he didn't make any other movements, just pumped his tail, and the ball suddenly pulled out an afterimage, whistling like wind and thunder.

The flower-clothed eunuch who was standing on the other side and was in charge of sparring suddenly stood on end, and no one dared to move for a while.

Then they turned their heads in unison and looked at the goal silently, only to find that the merry eyes on the goal seemed to have grown a little bigger, and the ball was nowhere to be seen.

Li Xuan frowned, stood up from the ground, and looked a little more serious.

"Looks like I really have to practice hard."

Just now, Li Xuan hit a little off.

When the sparring eunuchs in flowery clothes saw this scene, they couldn't help but swallow and spit nervously.

Especially when they saw that Li Xuan seemed to be dissatisfied with his previous shot, as if he was going to be more serious.

Mr. Shang watched from the sidelines and sighed silently, knowing that in the next two days of competition, someone was going to be unlucky.

"I hope I don't kick the dead."

Mr. Shang muttered a little worriedly.
