Princess Ankang noticed that everyone was staring at her, and she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure.

In particular, many of these gazes are not so friendly.

"It's not that Concubine Xiao has ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, distinguish the occasion!"

"But I heard before that this princess lives in the cold palace, how can she come out to compete?"

"What do you think about competing with His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

"I don't know how the contestants were selected, but I think it should have His Majesty's intentions."

“……”

Princess Ankang heard these nonsensical discussions, but let the inexplicable pressure in her heart dissipate.

She was used to such criticism.

In the past, whenever she slept in a corner of the Imperial Garden, she never missed such a sound in her ears.

Compared to when they didn't speak and just stared at Princess Ankang, after these people spoke, Princess Ankang was more relaxed.

The five princes and others who were sitting next to Princess Ankang also understood what kind of pressure Princess Ankang had been under all along.

"Who do these idiots think they are? How dare you talk about the royal princess! ”

Although the Eighth Prince couldn't really hear the voices of everyone, those expressions and eyes were enough to prove that they were not good words.

He immediately slapped the table and said loudly.

The venue of the Chongyang Banquet was very large, and the voice of the Eighth Prince was not enough to reach everyone's ears.

Only the people at the tables that were close to each other could hear it most clearly.

Those who were a little farther away only saw the movements of the Eighth Prince.

As for the farther ones, they couldn't even see them, but they found that with Zhao Feng's words, the venue obviously became lively.

At first, people thought they were looking forward to the Kemari competition.

But when the discussion came, I realized that everyone's attention was more on the contestants.

To be more precise, they are all talking about the thirteen princesses among the contestants.

Zhao Bong is still freely introducing the Keju competition, and now he is already explaining the rules of the three-person Keju competition.

"It's okay, starling."

Princess Ankang stretched out her hand to stop the eighth prince.

Today's occasion is extraordinary, and we can't cause trouble here.

And the reaction of the Eighth Prince obviously passed with the discussion, and the venue slowly quieted down a lot.

"Old eight, what are you shouting?"

"Although you mess around with you on weekdays, you don't look at what the occasion is today."

"Keep your demeanor and don't lose your royal face."

On the table next to him, the third prince smiled disdainfully, moved out of the imperial brother's shelf, and taught the eighth prince a lesson.

Not far from the seats of the royal heirs is the seat of the ministers of the court.

According to the distance between them, they must be able to listen to these words in their ears.

But the ministers' faces did not change, but they secretly paid attention to this side.

They don't have much opportunity to contact these princes and princesses on weekdays, but they have only heard some rumors.

Now, it's a good opportunity to see it for yourself.

Many people in the court are very interested in the royal heirs.

Especially, in the case of that dazzling princess.

Some people support the samurai, while others oppose it.

Everything is a conflict of interests, and which His Royal Highness will ascend the throne in the future is a matter of their net worth and life, so they can't be careless.

Therefore, these ministers seem to be unconcerned, but in fact they are silently paying attention to the conflict on this side.

The third prince usually looks at the eighth prince and Princess Ankang unpleasantly, but now he will not let go of the opportunity.

The eighth prince took the initiative to expose his flaws, and the third prince naturally had no reason to let go.

Especially when the third prince saw that there were still a few officials of the Qin family sitting not far away, he wanted to make the situation here more eye-catching.

"The people of the Qin family still have expectations for this waste, it's time for them to recognize the reality."

The third prince sneered, waiting for the eighth prince's response.

According to his understanding, the Eighth Prince would not swallow his anger in this situation.

More importantly, the third prince believes that he and the eighth prince have a consensus on this matter.

That is, the Eighth Prince also wanted the people of the Qin family to give up on themselves.

"Eighth brother, brother, I'm helping you."

The third prince secretly said proudly.

And then, the reaction of the Eighth Prince was indeed in line with his expectations.

"Silly bird!"

The eighth prince scolded hatefully, which made everyone stunned.

The young beans pursed their mouths and didn't dare to laugh out loud.

This morning, the concubine's earnest teaching to them is still vivid, and I just ask them to be well-behaved today, otherwise I will go back and invite them to eat fried meat with sticks.

The royal heirs generally practiced the martial arts from an early age, so the sticks that beat them were extra thick.

The other older princes and princesses had different faces, and the expressions of the three princes were particularly exciting.

He had expected some of the Eighth Prince's reactions, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and straightforward.

No matter how you say it, they are all people with status, and on such a big occasion, such a rude opening is something that the third prince did not expect, even if this person is the eighth prince who has always been known for his bohemianism.

The green tendons on the third prince's head couldn't help jumping a few times, but he finally endured it.

He had already caught a glimpse of the Qin family in the distance, and his brows were already furrowed.

"Forget it, just achieve the goal."

The third prince secretly said in his heart, intending to pretend that he didn't hear it.

If he continues to think about it here, it will make people think that he and the Eighth Prince are on the same level.

This is not what the three princes expected.

Especially the Eighth Prince, who lowered his level to the point where everyone was shocked.

"I can't worry about the old eight, otherwise my impression won't be much better."

"I used to warn as a royal brother, but if I scolded him, I would become the same thing as the eighth child."

Thinking so, the third prince silently turned his head to the side, just as if he hadn't heard the noise of the eighth prince.

"Idiot, you think you're smart."

The Eighth Prince scolded disdainfully.

No one present cared more about the people of the Qin family than the Eighth Prince, after all, those were all his mother's family.

Long before the Third Prince found out that the Qin family was sitting nearby, the Eighth Prince was aware of it.

He naturally knew the careful thinking of the third prince, but the eighth prince didn't care.

"Don't bother, eighth."

"A bunch of cowardly and impudent people, and then they'll shut up."

The fifth prince persuaded the eighth prince, and he didn't even bother to look at those people.

Some people are like this, they are as timid as a mouse when they stand in front of the stage, and they are bold when they hide in the crowd.

Relying on the so-called law not to blame the public, he mixed his voice into it, wantonly vomited out the filth that he didn't dare to say on weekdays, and wiped his mouth afterwards, looking pitiful that had nothing to do with me.

To be honest, the fifth prince even envied Princess Ankang a little.

is talented, but no one knows it, and it is not accepted by the ignorant world, and the frustrations in life are like shadows.

Such a start......

"It's perfect!"

At this time, the fifth prince still has time to envy, envy and hate.

He gritted his teeth with envy, wishing that he was the one sitting here now who was being discussed.

"No wonder Ankang has a talent far beyond his peers, is this a drink and a peck are all fate?"

"I want this kind of treatment too, damn it!"

Princess Ankang didn't know why, and thought that the fifth prince was feeling sorry for herself, and she was immediately moved.

"Fifth Emperor Brother, I'm actually used to it, you don't have to be so sad for me."

"You don't understand, you don't understand ......"

The fifth prince waved his hand again and again, turning his head to the side, not letting Princess Ankang see his envious and distorted expression.

At this time, Zhao Feng had already read out the rules of the game and the precautions for everyone watching the game.

This is followed by the final preparations before the race.

Guests at the back of the seat will not be able to see what is happening in Kemari from their seats.

Therefore, under the guidance of the eunuch in flowery clothes, they headed towards the high platform erected in the open space in front of them.

As for Princess Ankang and the third prince, who were contestants in the first game, they also quietly went down and made their own preparations.

"Ankang, come on!"

"Show that stupid bird how good you are."

The Eighth Prince said bluntly.

The fifth prince grabbed the hand of the seventh princess who was still dozing on the side, waved at Princess Ankang, and said:

"Come on, Ankang!"

"Brother and sister of the emperor are waiting for you to return victorious!"

Princess Ankang nodded heavily to them, and her heart was also warm.

I don't know when the number of people willing to encourage her has become more and more.

Princess Ankang's side, in addition to Li Xuan and Yu'er, has a few more figures.

Princess Ankang walked to the sidelines to prepare, and Yu'er was already waiting here.

Yu'er helps Princess Ankang change into sneakers and re-tie her hair.

For girls' long hair, it is more neat to comb a high ponytail when exercising, which will not affect the movement.

Then the belt, wrist guards and leggings were fastened, and the loose shirt suddenly became slimmer.

Because there was a game today, Princess Ankang and Yu'er came directly in the juju clothes that Mr. Shang had made for them before.

It's just that it was a banquet venue at the beginning, and they didn't wear their clothes too sporty.

Now that we are about to play, we have to prepare everything.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er finished preparing, only to find that there was one missing team member.

"Hey, where's Ah Xuan?"

Princess Ankang looked around and couldn't help but ask Yu'er beside her.

"It's supposed to be coming......

"Ah Xuan won't fall asleep there, will he?"

Yu'er suddenly became nervous, and subconsciously thought about the worst, for fear that Li Xuan would not be able to catch up with the game.

You must know that they only have three players in Jingyang Palace, and they can't play without any of them.

At this time, the three princes on the opposite side were ready and came to the field.

As soon as he entered the arena, the guests in the stands, who had not yet sat on their butts, let out a warm cheer.

It seems that many people recognize this third prince, and it seems that his popularity is not bad.

The third prince raised his hand and greeted the cheering guests generously, enjoying this rare big scene.

At this time, Li Xuan was not sleeping as Yu'er guessed, but slowly put on a vest on the roof.

"Hey, it's time for my kitten to appear again."

Li Xuan looked at the three princes who were in high spirits on the field, and couldn't help but laugh evilly.

"You've got to keep your smile on your face right now."

After Li Xuan put on the vest, he turned his head to Ah Xiang on the side and instructed:

"Meow, meow. (Stay there, don't run around.) ）”

Ah Xiang tilted his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

But it knew how powerful Li Xuan was before, and it was Li Xuan who pulled it out of the ghost gate with his own hands last night.

Ah Xiang is now full of trust in Li Xuan.

Li Xuan stretched out his paws, touched Ah Xiang's head with the cushion on his paws, and then went down the roof to meet the two girls.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Xuan ran from the direction of Taiji Palace to Keju Field.

That little shadow was too much of a sight to behold.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er were the first to spot Li Xuan who was running towards them, and waved their hands happily.

"Ah Xuan, this way, this way."

Li Xuan jumped directly into Princess Ankang's arms briskly, rubbed it indiscriminately, and had a relaxing massage before the game.

"Hee-hee, that's naughty."

"It's itching, stop moving."

Princess Ankang scolded with a smile, but where would Li Xuan listen.

The three princes on the opposite field looked at Princess Ankang and Li Xuan's frolicking appearance, but their expressions were solemn.

He also witnessed Li Xuan's kick yesterday, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless.

"No wonder Ankang can win so far, it turns out that he has hidden such a trump card."

"Others have not lost in the past few months."

"But even if it is a rare beast, it depends on the master's ability in the end."

The corners of the third prince's mouth hooked, and he looked very confident.

After all, this is a three-person keju competition, and the three princes know very well how to win in such a competition.

Especially with Jingyang Palace's overstretched situation, he only needs to make one person unable to kick.

Jingyang Palace is different from the Qingshu Palace, which is full of people.

The eunuchs who participated in the competition are all in the palace to check, and only the princes and princesses of the same palace can borrow each other's attendants to play, and it is not possible to belong to different places.

The third prince checked, and under Jingyang Palace, only the palace maid named Yu'er served, and there was no one else.

In other words, Jingyang Palace has no substitutes at all.

As the third prince, whether it is Princess Ankang or Yu'er, he can start without any taboos, and he will not be truthful.

"It's only your lack of strength, Thirteen Emperor Sisters."

The third prince sneered, and had already seen the result of the game.

And the vast majority of the spectators in the stands saw Li Xuan for the first time.

When they saw Princess Ankang and Yu'er taking Li Xuan on the field, their curiosity about Princess Ankang was magnified several times again.

"Why did Her Royal Highness the princess come to the field with a cat?"

"The team on the opposite side is three people, isn't there one less person on their side?"

"That cat looks like it's wearing a little team uniform, it's so cute!"

"Hey, kitten, hey......"

"Is anyone on this side of the queue late?"

"It's too late for this kind of occasion, it's definitely good to have this person when you go back."

"Wait, Mr. Zhao seems to be about to start the game?"

At this time, the spectators in the stands found that Manager Zhao seemed to have confirmed the players on both sides, and raised his hand high.

"Three-person Keju competition, semi-finals."

"In the first game, the thirteen princesses of the east will play against the three princes of the west."

"First half of the game, start!"

Zhao Feng waved his hand and served directly.
