Chapter 402: Keju

Three days flew by.

The eighth day of the ninth month.

The qualifiers for this month's Kemari tournament have officially begun in the Imperial Garden.

The three little ones set off from Xingqing Palace early and arrived at the Imperial Garden before the start of the game.

At this time, the Imperial Garden is different from three days ago, and three Keju fields have been arranged.

It looks like today's game is going to take place in these three venues.

Princess Ancon's game was not far ahead, in the eighth game of the middle section, and there was still some time before they played.

Until then, they can take a good look at other people's games.

All the princes and princesses who participated in the competition wore Keju costumes that were convenient for movement.

This kind of clothing is relatively slim in cut, and the material is breathable and refreshing, even if you sweat profusely after exercising, you will not feel any discomfort.

This fabric is a royal tribute, and ordinary people simply do not enjoy it.

But when the Prospective Yang Palace was rewarded, it received a large number of materials, among which was this fabric.

In the past three days, Mr. Shang took advantage of the three small ones to practice Keju and sent people to make their Keju clothes.

The uniforms of Jingyang Palace are mainly sky blue, which is similar to the eye color of Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er's juju clothes are slim and tailored, and the girl's graceful figure is set off exquisitely.

Both girls combed their long hair into a high ponytail so that they could kick the bow later, and wore a jade belt forehead guard on their foreheads as decoration.

What a pair of heroic and sassy juju girls.

This must be put in the Hereafter, and it must not be fascinated by a large piece.

Even Li Xuan also wore a small vest and tied a ribbon of the same color on his tail, which can be regarded as a team uniform.

At this time, you have to admire Mr. Shang's carefulness, and he hasn't even forgotten Li Xuan's juju suit.

And don't say it, this little vest is really good, it is worthy of the royal tailor's shot, Li Xuan is very satisfied.

When the hour came, the game began.

Six teams of men and horses walked up one after another on the three Keju fields and competed against each other.

Like Princess Ankang's team, there are only a few tamers participating in the competition.

At least all six teams on this one are made up of people.

The other players who were waiting for their time sat on the viewing platforms around the venue and watched the game seriously.

Sanxiao only found a place to sit down, but the people nearby automatically retreated and gave them a lot of space.

The three little ones only glanced at each other and held back a smile.

"I didn't think it would be good to be unpopular."

Looking at the stands that were quite crowded just now, they instantly became empty, and Princess Ankang joked with a big grin.

The three little ones have long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, but no one cares about it.

The stands around the venue are spacious, and they were originally based on the temperament of the three small ones, and they all found a corner to sit in order to avoid trouble.

But this time, in order to be able to see the game clearly, they found a position with a good view.

Of course, there are more people in a good position, but when the three little ones come over, others avoid them one after another, for fear of getting involved with Jingyang Palace.

After all, the current Jingyang Palace is a thorn in the side of many people.

But this is also convenient for the three small ones, and their group occupies a large and good position.

Thankfully, the stands near the stadium were well built, otherwise no one else would have had a place to watch.

"Hmph, people hate dogs!"

In the distance, the six princesses looked at the large area of grandstand occupied by Princess Ankang and snorted coldly.

"Sixth sister."

The eldest prince sitting next to him shook his head lightly at his sister.

"That's what it was."

The Sixth Empress said unconvinced.

At this time, the fourth prince sitting on the other side also said:

"You better think more about how to win Ankang later."

"After the last time, you also knew that Ankang is not as weak as we thought."

After the autumn hunting competition, the three siblings of the eldest prince also had a review.

Although the eldest prince and the fourth prince have not directly fought with Princess Ankang, they can also get a glimpse of the situation described by the six princesses.

In order to catch Princess Ankang at that time, the six princesses made a lot of efforts but failed to succeed.

In the end, he was even knocked unconscious by Princess Ankang, and forgot a lot of things behind.

But at the beginning of the battle, Princess Ankang used a hidden weapon to contain her, and after being wrapped around her feet with a long whip, she still remembered the situation when she could still compete.

Judging from these alone, Princess Ankang is no longer a sick princess who couldn't even walk well in the past and could only rely on a wheelchair to move around.

No matter how you say it, the six princesses are also eighth-rank martial artists, and their cultivation is not bad among the royal heirs.

The three brothers and sisters are not cultivated with medicinal power, but they are cultivated by themselves, and they also have corresponding combat effectiveness.

"Hmph, this girl is thoughtful, she has been pretending to be sick for so many years, and she doesn't know what she's trying to do."

"But since she has already exposed her feet, naturally there is no reason to be deceived by her again!"

The Sixth Imperial Maiden sneered and looked at the two Xuanyi eunuchs waiting on the side.

"No matter how deep Ankang hides, it can't change the fact that Jingyang Palace is sparsely populated."

"I can't even get three people together, so I can only let the cats play, and I'll see how they play with me later."

The two eunuchs in Xuanyi brought by the six princesses to participate in the competition were carefully selected by them, and they were the elite of the Qingshu Palace.

Even among the seven-rank masters in the palace, he is definitely the best.

Of course, the two best ones were placed in the Great Prince's team to ensure that he could win the final game.

But the attendants around the four princes and the six princesses are definitely not bad, and they are all proficient in Keju.

In this competition, the close attendants of the three brothers and sisters are definitely the strongest.

In the eyes of the six princesses, Jingyang Palace couldn't even get together three people, so how could they be courted by them.

"It's a joke to put on the kitten's vest!"

The six princesses sneered, obviously thinking that Princess Ankang had no choice but to find a cat to make up the numbers.

In a way, this is also true.

After all, there were only three of them in Jingyang Palace.

Emperor Yongyuan set up the game as a three-person juju, which should also mean to take care of them.

Otherwise, if they are asked to find one more person to play, Jingyang Palace will not be able to find it.

"Sixth sister, you still have to be cautious."

"That cat is Ankang's pet, and it was used to win the previous animal taming competition."

"Even I have to admit Ankang's strength in taming beasts."

The eldest prince calmly analyzed.

At that time, although he did not participate in the competition with his most proud white mark, the other trained thin dogs were still not bad.

But he still lost to the little black cat raised by Princess Ankang.

"At least, the cat doesn't have any problems with the ban."

"If it's not good, it will be the same as Hai Dongqing of the eighth child, which is a big trouble."

As he spoke, the eldest prince's gaze had already turned to the field.

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and the first round was over.

And in the second round of the game, there were eight princes on the stage.

As everyone expected, the team of the Eight Princes was two people and one beast, and on his arm stood a majestic Ah Xiang.

Ah Xiang looked down on the opponents, raised his arrogant head, and had the demeanor of a king.

There was a bird participating in the Keju competition, which was a big advantage.

It can be clearly found that with the Eighth Prince on the field, everyone's eyes are focused on the venue where he is.

Everyone wants to see how much of a role Ah Xiang can play in the game.

With the blowing of the whistle, the second round of the competition officially began.

The opponent of the Eighth Prince is a small bean ding.

Although Xiao Douding is small, his two close servants should not be underestimated.

Two sturdy eunuchs with big shoulders and round waists stood on either side of Xiao Douding, and they guarded him tightly.

"Old eight, it seems that you have ended your day."

Xiao Douding looked at the lineup on the side of the Eighth Prince and said confidently.

And the eighth prince looked at Xiao Douding on the opposite side, and he also had a chance to win.

"Bastard, you want to call me Starling!"

The eighth prince, the child king, is still very majestic, and he can't tolerate the slightest provocation from the little beans.

At the beginning of the game, Xiaodouding's side took the lead in kicking off and launched the first round of offensive.

Xiao Douding, who was still very arrogant just now, naturally retreated behind the two close attendants and hid his existence.

Then the two eunuchs with big shoulders and round waists immediately stepped forward, and simply launched an attack with the cooperation of one pass and one shot, without the slightest bells and whistles.

"Bang!"

The ball made a muffled sound, and then with a burst of air, it shot straight towards the Merry Eye on the opposite side.

After seeing a round of martial arts kicking and juju posture, the three little ones are no longer surprised by this kind of offensive.

I even think that kicking the bow should be like this.

If the Eighth Prince's side didn't have time to defend. This point should be won by the little bean side.

But at this moment, a crisp chirp resounded throughout the audience.

The next moment, Ah Xiang's figure flew out and stopped in time before the ball passed through the Merry Eye.

I saw Ah Xiang's pair of iron claws slamming heavily on the ball, and immediately changed the trajectory of the ball.

But at the same time, it can be clearly seen that Ah Xiang's figure also fluttered backwards with this impact.

After all, Ah Xiang is a bird, and he has some disadvantages in terms of body shape.

But even so, it is enough to play an important role in this Keju competition.

After successfully defending against the attack of Xiao Douding's side, the Eighth Prince and the attendants he brought were not far behind.

Get to the spot of the ball first, control the ball, pass it twice, and then shoot the ball high.

Although the Eighth Prince's shot was not small, the accuracy was slightly worse.

Looking at the arc drawn by the ball, it is actually going over the goal and going straight to the outside of the field.

But even so, the Eighth Prince's face did not show the slightest embarrassment, and he still maintained a confident smile.

"Haha, your ball is still so bad!"

Seeing that the Eighth Prince kicked so badly, Xiao Douding immediately pointed at him and laughed, mocking.

"Boy, you're too young!"

The corners of the Eighth Emperor's mouth hooked, and he smiled contemptuously.

Xiao Douding saw that the Eighth Prince was still stiff-mouthed, and was about to continue to mock mercilessly, when he suddenly heard the attendant next to him shouting:

"Not good!"

The ball that was supposed to cross the goal suddenly changed direction, and it actually turned downward, flying in the direction of the Merry Eye.

They could all see clearly that it was Ah Xiang, who had just stopped the attack earlier, and appeared in front of their goal again in the blink of an eye and delivered this fatal blow.

Ah Xiang swooped down with the momentum of an eagle striking Mao Zhi, and slapped a pair of claws on the ball.

With the help of his own weight and speed, the ball that was originally flying upwards suddenly accelerated with a whoosh.

By the time Xiao Douding's two attendants found out that something was wrong, it was already too late, and they could only watch the ball pass through the Merry Eye.

"One to zero!"

After a whistle, the referee on the sidelines handed down the verdict.

"Foul, foul!"

"How can you kick a bow like this?"

"Ah Xiang is attacking in the air, how can we defend below?"

"People don't have wings!"

Xiao Douding was naturally not convinced, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction to the referee loudly.

But these are of no use.

Since it was agreed at the beginning of the competition to let the taming beast participate in the competition, it was natural that such a situation had already been encountered.

The eunuch in charge of the referee was silent, just shook his head, rejected Xiaodouding's protest, and signaled the game to continue.

"Damn, damn!"

"Despicable old eight!"

Xiao Douding stomped his feet angrily with a posture of wanting to stomp through the soles of his shoes.

"You two don't hurry up and figure it out."

After Xiao Douding stomped his feet, he turned his head and began to lose his temper at his two close attendants.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be in a hurry."

"We were just trying to do it."

"Now that I have tried out the depth of the other party, I have already seen a glimpse of the opportunity to win."

These two eunuchs don't look like they look big and three thick, but they are also human spirits.

Even if the current situation is really not good, they will not say frustrating words by themselves, but will cheer for Xiaodouding's strength, and give the master an illusion that he still has an advantage over me.

In this way, even if they really lose the game in the end, it can be said that they are unlucky, not that they are not strong.

They are naturally the most aware of being a minion, and although the result is important, the experience process is the most important.

Even if the final result is sparse, as long as the master can be coaxed to be happy, he will naturally continue to reuse them in the future.

Otherwise, how could there be so many minions in the palace who were all shrewd and capable.

It all depends on this ever-changing "way of slavery", even if you are familiar with it, no matter how incompetent you are, you can be reused.

To put it simply, they may not be able to be slaves, but they must learn to provide emotional value to their masters.

Not really.

As soon as the two eunuchs flickered, Xiao Douding immediately turned his anger into joy and urged them:

"Oh? Where's the chance? ”

"Tell me quickly!"

Seeing that the red temperature of the master subsided, the two eunuchs glanced at each other and secretly said, "It's dangerous."

But the two of them immediately leaned into Xiao Douding's ear and muttered a few words, and immediately smiled at Xiao Douding.

"Okay, kick me, kick hard!"

After listening to what the two eunuchs said, Xiao Douding smiled happily and returned to the state of full confidence at the beginning.

Naturally, their changes were not hidden from the Eighth Prince opposite, after all, this little bean Ding was very happy, and he had no intention of hiding it at all.

But the Eight Princes didn't care, waiting for them to kick off.

The little beans had just dropped a point before, and according to the rules, it was up to them to continue the tee-off.

This time they changed their positions, with Xiao Douding in front and two eunuchs in the back.

Little Douding symbolically flipped the ball in front and passed it to the back.

The ball fell between the two eunuchs, and then I saw that they actually raised their legs at the same time, one left and one right, and kicked the ball blatantly, launching a tacit joint attack.

"Big eagle, don't underestimate the bond between us!"
