Chapter 421: Becoming Hope

"Alas, I didn't expect the third prince to lose so badly."

"Who says it's not, Liupin lost to the thirteenth princess who didn't cultivate, it's too unreasonable."

"It seems that you really can't just look at this bright thing."

"And did you just see his attitude towards Manager Zhao? Even the prince is a little too much, right? ”

"What's more, I'm afraid the two close eunuchs around him won't end well when they go back."

"And...... It's just a gaffe. ”

Shocked, disappointed, degraded......

All kinds of negative evaluations, if they came from the stands, like pervasive poisonous insects, drilled into the ears of the three princes.

At the beginning of the game, these people's praise for him was still in their ears, and at this time they all turned into vicious attacks.

The third prince was so angry that he gritted his teeth and made a creaking sound, which made people listen to their sore teeth.

The attendants who supported him were silent one by one, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of attracting the attention of the three princes and becoming the target of venting their anger.

The third prince was also remorseful at this time, he had known that he would end up like this, and he had been pretending to be unconscious when he was kicked into the Merry Eye for the first time, but he could still end up decently.

If it weren't for the fact that he endured the pain in his abdomen for the sake of a momentary mood, thinking that he could endure it, his pants would not be what they are now.

"Alas, if you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place."

Thinking that it was all his own sin, the anger of the three princes couldn't help but dissipate.

"It's the cat I underestimated to be healthy."

"No, even Ankang is too contemptuous."

"Her exaggerated physical fitness doesn't look like someone who hasn't cultivated at all."

"Could it be that some special method is used to hide cultivation?"

The third prince was helped back, constantly thinking along the way, trying to find a reasonable reason for his failure.

……

And the other side.

Princess Ankang took Li Xuan and Yu'er around the venue to thank the audience, and then returned to her seat.

Seeing Princess Ankang resting, all the princes and princesses also turned their eyes to her and kept looking.

"Sister Ankang, you are really amazing."

"The third child is so arrogant, but you kicked out the, it's really relieving!"

Princess Yuan'an said without hesitation.

"Ahem......"

"Yuan An, you are a royal princess, pay attention to the words you use when you speak."

The fifth prince reminded on the side.

"But it's just kicking out the."

Princess Yuan'an said unconvinced.

Seeing that he couldn't make sense of her, the fifth prince shook his head and gave up decisively, and said to Princess Ankang instead:

"I didn't expect your ball skills to be so good, it seems that you still released water yesterday."

The fifth prince nodded in praise, with an expression that sure enough, I didn't misread you.

In his eyes, Princess Ankang has always been a hidden person, and he didn't expect it to be the same in Keju.

This point especially made the five princes feel admired.

How many people have a little sesame big thing, they have to brag about it and show their existence.

Princess Ke Ankang has always been low-key, modest and polite.

Be modest and gentle, not to be talented, to be courteous, and to meet and be harmonious.

is really a model for my generation, and the five princes are ashamed of themselves.

And the eighth prince said with a constipated face:

"Ankang, if the starling is promoted later, you have to ask your cat to be merciful."

"I'm not the third, I still have to have this face."

The eighth prince habitually whipped the corpse of the three princes, and no one was present, and he had to be belittled.

"Brother starling, don't worry, Ah Xuan is very sensible, how can he bully you."

Princess Ankang agreed with a smile and promised.

The Eighth Prince suddenly put his mind at ease and glanced at Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms, only to see that the cat showed a malicious smile at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, a white tiger tooth was aimed at him, and a pair of Kazlan's big eyes were full of cruel and crazy dangerous light.

The Eighth Prince was so frightened that he almost fell off the stool, but he was able to hold on to the table before he could hold on to his figure.

"Ankang, look at you cat!"

The eighth prince pointed at Li Xuan and shouted and complained.

"Huh?"

Princess Ankang followed the fingers of the Eighth Prince and looked down.

It turned out that Li Xuan blinked his eyes obediently, raised his head to meet his eyes, and his ignorant eyes were full of purity and beauty.

At this moment, Princess Ankang's heart was about to melt.

"Hmm-"

"Starling, isn't Ah Xuan cute."

Princess Ankang held Li Xuan in her arms, and kept rubbing Li Xuan's little head with her cheek, looking addicted.

Princess Yuan'an watched enviously from the side, her eyes were red.

can see that Li Xuan is also enjoying the cute appearance, and I can't help but feel a burst of sweet water in my heart.

The fifth prince also took a look, nodded and praised:

"Ankang, you cat is really good."

"It's the kind of energy that can kick the third child out of the, I've never heard of it."

"Whose kitten is so powerful?"

The five princes were amazed.

But what the Eighth Prince wanted them to see was naturally not Li Xuan's current green tea appearance, but the terrifying expression that threatened him before.

"I'm not telling you this!"

And while everyone didn't look at his kung fu, Li Xuan glared at the Eighth Prince again, looking terrible that he would kick out for him if he dared to talk nonsense.

The Eighth Prince was glared at by Li Xuan, and pointed out again and again:

"That's it, it's scary!"

Several people looked at it again, and found that Li Xuan was still the same cute kitten as before.

Princess Yuan'an was immediately dissatisfied:

"Old eight, Ah Xuan is so cute, how can it be scary?"

"I advise you not to talk nonsense."

The fifth prince also took the opportunity to say:

"I think you can't kick this kitten and want to cheat, do you?"

"Ankang, the eighth child has to be kicked to death, and he will be kicked hard later, so that he can also taste the taste of the third child."

The Eighth Prince was so frightened when he heard this, he wanted to strangle the Fifth Prince who was talking nonsense.

"Okay, you old five, I'll pinch out your first."

After that, the eighth prince reached out and made a gesture to pinch the neck of the fifth prince, and the two started fighting on the seat.

Princess Ankang couldn't help laughing when she saw them making such a fuss, and her heart warmed.

In the past, Princess Ankang hated such a crowded scene very much.

Although she used to have a monthly party in the Royal Garden, each time she attended it was just a reminder of how lonely she was.

When Princess Ankang pretended to be asleep in the corner, she inevitably heard the cheers and laughter of other princes and princesses, and at her age, it was impossible not to yearn for it.

And now, Princess Ankang's side is also lively.

This made Princess Ankang realize that she already had what she had longed for.

Although even she didn't realize it, when did more and more people gather around her.

But Princess Ankang just wants to cherish this hard-won excitement at this time.

……

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

Princess Ankang was laughing and joking here, but the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince had a solemn atmosphere.

"Big brother, in my opinion, it's very difficult to win."

The fourth prince said euphemistically.

This time, even the six princesses didn't refute, they just looked at their eldest brother worriedly, not knowing how to persuade them.

They put a lot of effort into this month's Keju competition.

But in the end, they met an opponent who felt so powerless.

How did Li Xuan kick the three princes into the eyes of the merry, they all witnessed it with their own eyes, and more than once.

The third prince was already the highest cultivator among the royal heirs present.

Even the third prince was humiliated as much as he could, and if he changed to a big prince who had a poor cultivation, I am afraid the situation would be even worse.

Not to mention that their Qingshu Hall and Jingyang Palace have always been at odds, but I am afraid that the other party will not show mercy to them.

The eldest prince sighed, but didn't say anything.

Maybe even he didn't know what to say.

There are many people who feel the same way as them.

After all, there are still many princes and princesses who support the eldest prince, and they also provided a lot of help in the previous knockout rounds.

But now it seems that in the face of Princess Ankang, a fierce rival, they are doing useless work.

"Why only restrict the cultivation of the close attendants, but not the strength of the beast?"

"It's too foul for Ankang to bring such a cat to the competition!"

The six princesses said unwillingly.

And this sentence gave the four princes a wake-up call.

Originally, this article in the rules of this competition did not make him pay too much attention.

After all, the beast clan has no cultivation method, and it is impossible to distinguish the cultivation by dividing specific grades like the human race.

Just like Ah Xiang of the Eighth Prince, although his strength is relatively ordinary in the beast clan, because of his flying advantage, he shines in the Keju competition.

But now that there is an example of Li Xuan, this can't help but make the four princes start to think more.

"Mr. Zhao, don't ......"

"Father knows about the cat's existence!?"

The palms of the four princes placed under the table suddenly clenched into fists.

The previous games were replayed in his mind like a slideshow.

And the four princes suddenly found that every time Princess Ankang won the victory, it seemed that the figure of the black cat was inseparable.

In the past, they all just felt that Princess Ankang loved her pet very much.

But now it seems that it should be more than that.

At this moment, the fourth prince felt that he had figured out a lot of things, and he couldn't help but guess:

"That cat is also arranged by my father......"

The fourth prince turned his head to look at Li Xuan in the distance, with a complicated expression.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

The eldest prince saw that the fourth prince's face was wrong, and asked.

The fourth prince suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the eldest prince, thought for a while and said:

"Big brother, you don't have to win this game."

The eldest prince was stunned, and just now the fourth prince tactfully told him that it was difficult to win, but now it is not necessary to win directly.

Even if he knew that he would most likely not be able to kick Princess Ankang, the fourth prince said this, which made the eldest prince a little helpless.

"Although I also know that the odds are not good, but fourth brother, you don't have to pour cold water on me, right?"

"Fourth Brother ......"

The sixth princess also secretly pulled the corners of the clothes of the fourth prince, signaled with her eyes, and asked him to encourage the eldest prince and stop saying frustrating words.

The fourth prince smiled at his sister and shook his head, and then said:

"Big brother, I'm not saying discouraged words, but telling the truth."

The six princesses were so angry that they wanted to pinch the leg meat of the four princes, but they were predicted by the four princes in advance to prevent her bad hand.

"Big brother, listen to me."

"With that cat, it's impossible to win Ankang."

"And that kind of strength can't be hurt by small movements."

The fourth prince was obviously talking about his previous means of dealing with Ah Xiang.

Although it was all true, the eldest prince and the sixth princess couldn't help but be frustrated when they heard it.

But then, the four princes changed their words:

"But even so, we have things we can do."

The fourth prince stretched out his hand and pointed to the Keju field.

"Big brother, look."

"It's not just a keju field, it's also a stage, and the audience is the entire Daxing aristocracy."

"In the Taiji Palace, our father, emperor and ministers are seated."

Hearing this, the eldest prince seemed to understand what the fourth prince was going to say.

"Previously, the third child was a case of complete failure."

"But big brother, you can do the opposite."

"Winning or losing a game is a result, and what impression you can make on everyone is also a result."

"What's more, as long as you can make these people have confidence in you, the empress and the samurai family's ascension to the throne will inevitably be blocked."

"Although Daxing has a precedent of the Double Holy Emperor, in the past nearly a thousand years, everyone has long been accustomed to the fact that it is a man who sits on the throne."

"It's the same in the court!"

At this time, even the six princesses were bright-eyed at the words of the four princes.

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose today's game, it's important to give them hope."

"The empress's ascension to the throne is blocked, and when she has no concubine, she can only stand up!"

Hearing this, the eldest prince's expression moved slightly.

The fourth prince naturally understood the true thoughts of the eldest prince, and immediately grabbed his shoulder and persuaded him:

"Let's take one step at a time."

"At least we still have a way to go."

The Sixth Imperial Maiden blinked and didn't say anything.

In fact, the girl is delicate, although the six princesses are not as smart as the two elder brothers, they have long understood the true thoughts of the eldest prince.

It's just that the six princesses never said it, just pretended not to know.

But even if the six princesses didn't say it, she understood how much pressure her eldest brother had put on them.

After all, many times they watched the eldest prince being punished by his mother from the sidelines.

The eldest prince listened to the words of the fourth prince, was slightly silent for a while, and then nodded and said:

"Yes, the fourth brother has a point."

"Even if I can't win the fight, I can do it."

"I'll give them hope."

The eldest prince smiled and patted the fourth prince's arm with his backhand, signaling that he didn't have to worry about himself.

The fourth prince avoided the gaze of the eldest prince guiltily and lowered his head.

At this moment, Zhao Feng, who had taken a break, came to the sidelines again and announced to everyone:

"The first round of the semi-finals is over, and Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess successfully advanced to the finals."

"This is followed by the second round of the semi-finals, which will also determine the next player to advance to the finals."

"Let's invite both sides of the contest, His Royal Highness the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince!"

As Zhao Feng's words fell, bursts of enthusiastic cheers rang out in the venue.

The eldest prince and the eighth prince also stood up from their respective positions.

Li Xuan silently swept Princess Ankang's chin with his tail, asking her to let go of herself, and then quietly walked away from the crowd and crawled towards the roof of Taiji Palace.

The most important players haven't appeared yet!

Li Xuan climbed to the roof, lifted the cloth on the bamboo basket, and said inside:

"Ah Xiang, it's your turn to play!"
