Chapter 432: Battle for the Secret Treasure

"Chongyang Secret Treasure?"

Li Xuan looked at the pile of small toys and inferior jewelry, and couldn't help but twitched his eyes.

But these little brats in front of him were more serious than each other, as if the Eighth Prince really took out some extraordinary treasure.

"Bring your bets and follow me!"

The Eighth Prince raised his arms in front of the little brats and received a warm response.

Looking at his skilled appearance, it was obviously not the first time he did this kind of thing.

"I must win something this year!"

"I'm determined to get the Chongyang Secret Treasure, no one can stop me!"

"I've been preparing for this year just for today. If I don't win today, I may not have a chance next year. I have to consider whether this is my last chance to get the Chongyang Secret Treasure in this life..."

The little brats were either excited or muttering, and it was obvious that they were determined to get the "Chongyang Secret Treasure" in the hands of the Eighth Prince.

Although the little brats present were all from wealthy or noble families, the "treasures" they collected were not as good as the Eighth Prince, who was thoughtful.

"Ankang, I'll give you a copy of the 'Chongyang Secret Treasure' as well."

The Eighth Prince blinked and threw a bundle to Princess Ankang. The things inside were similar, and they were all toys and small accessories.

When the little brats saw that Princess Ankang also had an extra copy of the Chongyang Secret Treasure in her hand, they immediately went wild.

"Oh my God, there are two Chongyang Secret Treasures this year!?"

Soon, a group of little brats coveting the secret treasures surrounded Princess Ankang.

"Okay, okay, line up for me. Each person can only participate in each event once. Don't cry if you lose!"

The Eighth Prince clapped his hands and organized this year's "Chongyang Secret Treasure Competition".

Obviously, what he said before, that he would take Princess Ankang to have fun at the banquet, was what was happening right now.

"This guy really likes playing with children."

"Maybe only at this age can you find a sense of belonging."

Li Xuan's eyes were full of smiles.

But he also felt that playing with children was the most fun.

Speaking of people who can enjoy the joy of games the most, they are the ones.

Princess Ankang was also driven by the atmosphere and actively participated.

Many people signed up for each project, and the registration fee was one of their own treasures.

Regardless of whether it was noble or humble, as long as it was something you cherished, you could bring it up to gamble.

In the past, the eighth prince would gamble with all the little brats. As long as you could beat him, you could choose an item from Chongyang Secret Treasure.

If you lose, your treasure will be added to Chongyang Secret Treasure, and it may be picked up by others.

While the little brats were rubbing their hands, the Eighth Prince whispered to Princess Ankang:

"Don't show mercy at first, win some things from them, and then slowly distribute the things I prepared."

"Remember, your acting must be real!"

It turns out that the Eighth Prince is here to give benefits, but the sense of ceremony of giving benefits is very strong.

It can be seen from the postures of these little brats that they are very serious about this matter.

Princess Ankang was reminded by the Eighth Prince, and immediately understood his intention, and smiled and nodded.

Immediately, Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince each opened two betting positions, waiting for the challenge of the little brats.

Many little brats saw that Princess Ankang had just arrived, and thought that she was easy to bully, so they came to her and wanted to open a business with her first.

Throwing pots, picking up stones, turning flower ropes, shooting stones...

There are endless games like this, which are all the projects that little brats like to play on weekdays.

They each chose a game they were best at, and then challenged each other.

Some even challenged Princess Ankang to a cricket fight, but Princess Ankang had no crickets to fight with, so she summoned Li Xuan, who was lying on her shoulder watching the show.

The little brats were so scared that they ran away with their cricket warriors.

These little brats saw clearly how Li Xuan kicked the third prince into the goal today.

Although they were all little brats, they were not stupid at all.

Li Xuan was summoned by Princess Ankang to fight crickets, and he felt a little unhappy. As a result, when he saw the funny reactions of the little brats, he couldn't help but cooperate and acted in an ugly manner, which scared the little brats to tears.

The little brat who took out the cricket didn't dare to mention it again. After sealing the jar containing the cricket, he hid it directly in his pants.

Li Xuan was also gradually infected by the atmosphere on the scene. He jumped down from Princess Ankang's shoulder and watched them play the game seriously.

At the beginning, Princess Ankang didn't let them win at all and won several games.

Then she began to suppress her strength slowly and create the illusion of a narrow victory.

When she felt that the time was right, she started to win and lose.

At the beginning, the morale of the little brats was still very low, but gradually they became motivated and even started to unite as one and play a round-robin game with Princess Ankang.

Gradually, the market on Princess Ankang's side became more popular, attracting many challengers from the Eighth Prince's side.

When the Eighth Prince saw that Princess Ankang was so good at playing with the little brats for the first time, he couldn't help but feel happy.

That night, they played games with the little brats on the lawn in the corner of the banquet, and they had a lot of fun.

The boys and girls on the side were also very excited, but except for a few who were willing to put down their airs and come to watch the fun, most of the others were standing far away with airs.

It's just that their frequent glances have betrayed their true thoughts.

Looking at the adults who were socializing in a hypocritical and caring manner in the distance, I couldn't help but think that humans are really strange animals.

The older you get, the more you hide your true self.

If this is the standard of maturity, it's a bit too absurd.

Li Xuan shook his head and continued to enjoy the fun of watching the fun.

The little brats always do not hide their emotions. They are upset when they lose and excited when they win. No one is more genuine than them.

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has lost everything again this year!"

Several little brats who just beat the Eighth Prince surrounded him and laughed.

"Damn it, you remember this!"

"I will definitely avenge this grudge next year!"

The Eighth Prince made a gnashing expression.

But the little brats were not scared, but laughed even more happily.

"Alas, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is always so bad and loves to play."

These words made the Eighth Prince's veins jump, and he regretted letting the water go too much just now.

But the next moment, he couldn't help but smile.

"Here, this is for you."

"Don't take this to lose."

A little boy who had previously laughed at the Eighth Prince took out a shiny black top.

"This is the black whirlwind spinning top that my father brought back from the Western Regions. It's so awesome when it spins!"

The Eighth Prince took the spinning top and played with it. He found that there were already many marks on it. It was obviously a toy that the little boy loved to play with.

"You gave me such a good treasure?"

The Eighth Prince held the spinning top in front of the little boy and asked deliberately.

The little boy's eyes obviously stayed on the spinning top for a moment, but then he moved away resolutely and said nonchalantly:

"I'm tired of playing with this black whirlwind. I'll give it to you in the future."

"Anyway, I got the Chongyang secret treasure today, so I don't need this spinning top."

The little boy was holding a lifelike bamboo eagle, and its wings could still flap. It looked a bit like Axiang.

Princess Ankang, who had just exported the last toy, also cast a look and was a little surprised to see the situation here.

Li Xuan also heard the conversation between the Eighth Prince and the little boy, showing a look of interest.

"Then I'll take it?"

The Eighth Prince deliberately shook the spinning top in front of the little boy's eyes.

The little boy turned his head away pretending to be generous and waved:

"Take it, take it, no need to thank me."

The three little ones could see that the little boy actually cared about the spinning top, but they didn't understand why the little boy wanted to give it to the Eighth Prince.

The game was over, and there was no bet.

The little boy could have taken his new toy and the spinning top home, but now he gave it up and left it to the Eighth Prince.

"Thank you."

The Eighth Prince said nothing more and put the spinning top into his empty bag with great care.

The other little brats followed suit and left gifts for the Eighth Prince, all of which were among the treasures they brought today.

Soon, the Chongyang Secret Treasure that the Eighth Prince had lost was filled again.

It's just that the previous exquisite toys and trinkets have now been replaced with old toys.

These old toys usually have a lot of marks left on them, and even a considerable part of them are incomplete.

But even so, the Eighth Prince still accepts all the gifts, and he puts all the gifts into his bag.

"Princess Sister, this is for you."

Xiao An, who first invited Princess Ankang, came closer and timidly handed Princess Ankang a rough-made small red flower wood carving ornament.

"Your Highness should be behind the princess, you called her the wrong name again."

Xiao An's friend corrected her in a low voice.

"Princess Sister..."

Xiao An corrected stupidly.

"If there is no sister, just call her Princess."

The friend covered his head and had a headache.

"Oh..."

Xiao An frowned slightly, looking like he still didn't understand.

Looking at these two cute girls, Princess Ankang couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth.

"Are you really going to give this to me?"

Princess Ankang took the small red flower wood carving and looked at it carefully.

"Hey, I made this myself."

"If your highness doesn't mind, please accept it."

The friend was no longer able to correct Xiao An's address.

"After all, I also got the Chongyang Secret Treasure today."

Xiao An held a flower-shaped ornament tightly in her hand, which was decorated with scattered gems and sparkled.

This was what Xiao An won from Princess Ankang.

However, Xiao An felt that Princess Ankang would be very sad to lose such a good treasure, so she thought of giving her previous treasure to Princess Ankang.

At this moment, Princess Ankang had a strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was, but it felt good.

She had already understood what kind of fun the Eighth Prince had found for her tonight.

Seeing Princess Ankang staring at the little red flower wood carving in her hand in a daze, Xiao An asked uneasily:

"Your highness, sister, don't you like my little red flower?"

"In that case..."

Xiao An looked down at the Chongyang Secret Treasure in her hand, and reluctantly loosened her clenched hands a little, and stretched them in the direction of Princess Ankang.

But Xiao An's chubby little hand was quickly stopped by Princess Ankang.

"No, I like this very much."

Princess Ankang's eyes sparkled, the corners of her mouth curved beautifully, and she smiled.

"Your name is Xiao An, right?"

"Xiao An, thank you for your gift, I will keep it well."

Xiao An was obviously relieved after getting Princess Ankang's answer, and then said happily:

"Your Highness, as long as you like it, you're welcome."

Princess Ankang was amused by Xiao An's changing names, and introduced herself:

"My name is Ankang, you can just call me Sister Ankang."

"If others ask, just say I asked you to call me that."

Xiao An nodded obediently, and said "Oh" in a naive way.

At this time, Xiao An's friend suddenly pulled Princess Ankang's hand, stuffed something in it, turned around and ran away, leaving only a hurried sentence:

"This is for you."

She ran away without looking back after she said that, looking a little shy.

It was a pity that she acted like a little adult in front of Xiao An, but she was not as generous as Xiao An when she really did things.

"Xiaojuzi, wait for me."

Xiao An was a little slow to catch up, and did not forget to turn back and wave goodbye to Princess Ankang.

Playing with these little brats, Princess Ankang and others were in a much better mood.

Princess Ankang looked down and found that there was another cake in her hand.

"Osmanthus cake?"

Princess Ankang tilted her head, not expecting that she was fed by Xiao An's friends.

Princess Ankang was still looking at it, and Li Xuan rushed out and took a small bite from it at lightning speed.

Li Xuan smacked his lips and felt that it tasted good.

"Ah Xuan!"

"This is a gift from a little girl."

Princess Ankang saw that half of the osmanthus cake was missing, and glared at Li Xuan.

She was afraid that she could not even keep the remaining osmanthus cake, so she quickly bit off half of it herself, and when no one else was paying attention, she stuffed the rest into Yu'er's mouth.

Before Yu'er could object, the osmanthus cake had already begun to melt in her mouth.

"Hey, it's delicious."

Princess Ankang and Yu'er thought at the same time.

"It seems to be different from what is made in the palace."

Princess Ankang muttered, and Yu'er nodded beside her.

Li Xuan looked at the backs of the two little girls leaving, and thought to himself:

"There is no problem with the osmanthus cake, it seems that Xiaojuzi's style is a bit special."

"The taste is sweeter than the one in the palace, it should be brought from somewhere else."

Li Xuan licked his lips, and eating Xiaojuzi's osmanthus cake reminded him of something.

Especially seeing that Xiaoan and Xiaojuzi are so close and inseparable.

"I hope they can have fewer twists and turns."

"Don't be like those two."

"I wonder how they are doing recently?"

Li Xuan thought of Deng Weixian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and Wang Suyue and Liang Chuchu from his side.

Li Xuan has heard about Deng Weixian from Mao Ba and others recently.

"Go and see him when you have time."
