Chapter 424 Ah Xuan, Be Good and Have Good Cat Manners!

Many people present could see that the eldest prince was doomed to lose this match.

But even so, many people nodded to the eldest prince's performance.

"Not fearing danger is courage!"

"Faced with such a difficult situation, he was still tenacious, did not give up hope, and encouraged his teammates until the last moment."

"I am far from the eldest prince."

"This is the true royal style, worthy of learning from my generation."

In the stands, many people spoke highly of the eldest prince.

Li Xuan listened to all these words and knew what the eldest prince was doing.

"I thought so."

"It turned out that he saw that he couldn't beat Lao Ba, so he started to save the country in a roundabout way."

"It's quite smart."

It must be said that the eldest prince's trick was quite useful. At least the audience would not have a bad impression of the eldest prince through this game.

Of course, this trick could not be hidden from everyone. After all, there were many bigwigs in the court present. These were the smartest of the smart, and they could see the eldest prince's intentions at a glance.

But even so, their evaluation of the eldest prince is still not low.

Because the fact is so.

If you are in power, you don't need to deceive everyone, you can deceive most people.

Now the effect achieved by the eldest prince is just right.

Those who can't see the eldest prince's intention applaud his character.

Those who can see the eldest prince's intention also appreciate his means.

Just as the fourth prince said before the game, the eldest prince took advantage of this inevitable failure to gain the greatest benefit for himself.

Of course, at the beginning, the fourth prince meant to do this after defeating the eighth prince and against Princess Ankang.

Even the fourth prince didn't say something clearly at the time.

If Princess Ankang brought dissatisfaction with Qingshu Palace and used her strength to suppress others on the Cuju field, the effect would be even better.

Although Princess Ankang can win the game, she will definitely leave a bad impression on everyone because of targeting the eldest prince.

The eldest prince can also use his weak and bullied role to gain a lot of sympathy points.

But now thinking about it, the fourth prince felt that his calculation was too naive.

"Ankang probably calculated it a long time ago, so she helped the eighth brother defeat the eldest brother."

"The final will be a fair competition between the two of them. The two have always had a good relationship, so the competition will definitely be harmonious."

"Although Haidongqing is powerful, it can never defeat the black cat."

"Not only can it win the final victory, but it can also win beautifully and elegantly."

The more the fourth prince thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's all because I'm not as good as others..."

The more the fourth prince reviewed the game, the more he understood how terrible Princess Ankang was.

Her pitiful appearance in the past kept flashing in the fourth prince's mind.

In the fourth prince's impression, Princess Ankang always hid in the corner of the imperial garden, sleeping in the sun, and didn't communicate with anyone.

With such an opportunity to meet once a month, Princess Ankang didn't interact with other people. She stayed in Jingyang Palace for the rest of the time, and she had no chance to meet once.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince was a little confused:

"When did she start to plot?"

"I have never doubted it even once in all these years..."

"You are so blind!"

The fourth prince became more and more angry as he thought about it, and felt that he was as stupid as an ox. He simply gave up thinking and let his brain go.

On the Cuju field, the whistle of the end of the game finally sounded.

For both parties, this whistle was like the sound of nature.

Whether it was the eldest prince or the eighth prince, they were almost unable to hold on.

Needless to say, the eldest prince's hardships were self-evident. Although he was exhausted physically, he still had to cheer up, boost the morale of the team, and act like an indomitable person.

But it's true that the eldest prince became more and more involved in the game, gradually putting himself into the role, and even felt a little fulfilled.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with being such a person.

Especially now that he lost the game with such an exaggerated score of 36 to 0, many spectators in the stands still applauded him.

Some even shouted bluntly:

"Your Highness, great job!"

"Even though you lose, you still have honor!"

"Your Highness, come on, we will support you!"

Several girls in their twenties waved their hands at the prince and said boldly.

The prince, who dragged his tired feet off the court, was stunned for a moment, and looked at the lively girls and couldn't help but smile a little.

The prince was handsome and noble.

His face was still sweating, and his gentle smile immediately caused the girls in the stands to scream.

Beside the girls, their parents covered their faces and felt ashamed.

But Daxing has always been open-minded, and the status of women is not lower than that of men. Such public expression of affection will not be considered rude, but will make people feel brave.

However, this is a royal banquet after all, and the girl is teasing the eldest prince. The parents who brought the girls here naturally want to pretend not to know them.

Not far away, the eighth prince, who was also coming off the court, saw this scene and couldn't help feeling unhappy.

"Are you kidding me? I won the game, okay?"

Just when the eighth prince was feeling sour, someone in the stands suddenly shouted to him.

"Your Highness, you have great ball skills!"

"That ball just now was so beautiful!"

"Let's play together when we have time!"

"Your Highness, the eighth prince, I love you!!!"

It seems that the eighth prince has accumulated a lot of fans through this game.

But the problem is that compared with the eldest prince, his style is obviously more rough.

I saw that those who shouted to the eighth prince were all big and strong, with hair and beards connected together, and they were all fierce generals in the army at a glance.

After all, anyone who can understand the Eighth Prince's football skills must be a master of various kinds.

Cuju is the most mainstream leisure sport in the army, and these generals are also good at it.

Moreover, the Eighth Prince has a deep relationship with the Qin family, which makes him even more popular with these rough men.

The Eighth Prince reluctantly waved to his fans and said hello, then hurried off the court as if escaping.

As soon as he returned to his seat, he was greeted by his friends' congratulations.

"Old Eighth, it's good."

"It's a hearty victory for the boss to score 36 to 0."

The Fifth Prince smiled and said.

Seeing his abnormal attitude, the Eighth Prince immediately raised his vigilance:

"Why are you laughing so obscenely?"

"What nonsense? How can it be obscene?" The Fifth Prince would naturally not tolerate such slander.

But he was not too angry, and immediately said with a smile:

"I just congratulate you for advancing to the finals."

"When the time comes, you and Ankang will have a good show."

The Fifth Prince's face was full of malicious smiles.

Everyone knows what the good show he is talking about.

At this point, Princess Yuan An on the side also laughed evilly.

They also glanced at the Eighth Prince's pants from time to time, as if they were silently saying goodbye.

"Hey, you guys!"

"Don't say goodbye to my pants without my consent!"

In this solemn atmosphere, those who don't know would think that they are going to hold a mourning ceremony for the Eighth Prince's pants.

Several people laughed immediately, only the Eighth Prince himself couldn't laugh.

He walked silently to Princess Ankang's side, and then whispered:

"Ankang, can you save face for your brother later and don't mess up my pants?"

There was a hint of pleading in the Eighth Prince's tone.

After all, for anyone, the previous experience of the Third Prince was an unforgettable nightmare.

"Oh, don't worry, my dear brother."

"Ah Xuan is a good boy and will never bully you."

"Just believe in his virtue!"

Princess Ankang saw that the Eighth Prince had been worried about this matter, and couldn't help saying so.

"Believe in the virtue of a cat?"

The Eighth Prince was struck by lightning, and glanced down at Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms.

As a result, Li Xuan grinned and gave him a look of "wait to die".

The Eighth Prince's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he felt wronged, pitiful and helpless to the extreme.

He now understood that Princess Ankang had raised this cat for so long, but she didn't know whether this cat had any virtue.

With this cat's ability to turn its face in front of people and behind people, the Eighth Prince would have to have a bag in his head to believe that this cat would not mess with him later.

If he was really kicked into the eyes of a romantic person like the Third Prince, then the Eighth Prince would never have a beautiful fan in his life.

With the end of the two semi-finals, the finals are about to begin.

But before that, we will take a short break and tidy up the Cuju field.

Everyone also has a chance to breathe in between the exciting games.

The match between Princess Ankang and the Third Prince was a little rushed, and it ended early after only playing for less than the first half.

But the second game was different.

The eldest prince and the eighth prince not only played the whole game, but also played a fast and fierce game, which made everyone very happy. The audience also consumed a lot of energy. Now it is time to take a break.

Now that Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince have successfully advanced to the finals, everyone is looking forward to their next performance.

Especially Li Xuan and A Xiang, who brought everyone a unique Cuju game.

Everyone wants to see whether the cat is stronger or the bird is stronger.

In the Taiji Palace.

A group of bigwigs also talked about the previous two games.

Of course, none of them mentioned the matter of the Third Prince.

This is not for Zhao Dinghai's sake.

After all, the third prince is also a member of the royal family, the biological son of Emperor Yongyuan.

Except for Qin Zongyong and the other hot guys, no one would be so bold.

"I never expected that these two princes would advance to the finals."

"If it weren't for today's Cuju match, we wouldn't know the abilities of these two princes."

"It seems that the princes are too humble and low-key on weekdays."

Someone said with a hint of meaning.

Emperor Yongyuan's attitude towards his offspring is very cold, which is a fact known to all the court and the public.

Of course, Princess Yan Zhao's overly dazzling existence is also a very important factor.

Now, while Princess Yan Zhao has not returned yet, many people have the same idea as the eldest prince, wanting to increase the presence of the people they support.

The position of the crown prince of Daxing has been undecided, and Empress Wu has only two legitimate princesses.

Although Princess Yan Zhao has unparalleled talent and an overwhelming advantage in cultivation, the succession to the throne is not only about personal strength, but more importantly, it is about getting support from all parties.

Empress Wu and the Wu family have been pushing for the empress to ascend the throne in recent years.

But there are also many people who oppose this.

The Wu family is now more and more powerful. If Princess Yan Zhao ascends the throne, no one knows what the scene will be like.

No one can check and balance the Wu family at that time.

When the Wu family's ambitions swell, it will inevitably need to be filled with their flesh and blood.

This kind of thing has been staged too many times in history, so that they can come to such a conclusion without much thought.

And the Wu family still faces many obstacles after having such a huge advantage as Princess Yan Zhao because of this reason.

The same is true for Concubine Zhang's desperate push for the eldest prince.

It can be said that there are still many people who can't stand the Wu family doing well.

If you want to change this situation, the Wu family doesn't have any good way.

Although the Wu family is also an ancient family, it has to accumulate again because it has declined in the middle.

In general, the foundation of the Wu family is still not enough.

Shangshu Ling Zhang Zhixian also chatted and laughed with others.

Although the eldest prince failed to advance to the finals, his mood was not bad, and he was even quite good.

Zhang Zhixian was still very satisfied with the performance of his grandson.

Although the people sitting in the Taiji Palace should have seen the intention of the eldest prince, this kind of skill is also necessary for a superior.

Especially when he saw that many spectators supported the eldest prince at the end of the game, Zhang Zhixian felt even better.

He knew very well that the battle for the throne would not happen overnight. As long as he accumulated slowly, there would be a chance to present it.

Although the eldest prince was not a legitimate son, he had the advantage of age.

If there is a legitimate son, the legitimate son shall be established, and if there is no legitimate son, the eldest son shall be established.

This is the tradition of Daxing.

Unlike the impatient Concubine Zhang, Zhang Zhixian has a longer-term view.

Even if the eldest prince leaves the palace next year, Zhang Zhixian does not think it is a bad thing.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhixian can better help his grandson after leaving the constraints of the palace.

Now, within the palace, the power of the Zhang family can only be exerted by one tenth or one twelfth.

When the eldest prince leaves the palace, Zhang Zhixian will let everyone see how terrifying the support of the Zhang family will be.

At that time, the Zhang family will be able to attack and defend.

Even if he cannot stop Princess Yan Zhao from ascending the throne in the end, Zhang Zhixian can leave the capital for the Zhang family to survive.

After all, Zhang Zhixian is the head of the Zhang family and always thinks about the interests of the family.

It is not that he disregards family affection, but that the burden on his shoulders is too heavy.

After so many years and the dedication of so many heroes of the Zhang family, the Zhang family has today's glory.

If Zhang Zhixian takes a wrong step, it will ruin everything, and he cannot afford to be more careful.

"Xian'er, you have to work harder."

Zhang Zhixian looked outside and watched the eldest prince leave.

He noticed that Qin Zongyong on the opposite side was winking at him, as if he wanted to show off the victory of the eighth prince.

But Zhang Zhixian didn't care. He raised his glass and smiled, and toasted Qin Zongyong from a distance, which immediately made Qin Zongyong lose interest.

On the side of the Cuju field, Zhao Feng was instructing a few eunuchs in flowery clothes, and it seemed that something was very important.

At this time, someone came to him and reminded him:

"General Manager, the time has come, and it's time to start the finals."
