Chapter 551 Brotherly Friendship

A gentle meow made many people tremble in fear.

The eighth prince, who had almost lost the ability to sit down, suddenly straightened his back and looked directly into the eyes of the third prince without fear.

However, the third prince's face became ugly and his eyes were somewhat evasive.

Li Xuan didn't know when he stood up from Princess Ankang's arms, stretched out his paw and patted the table beside her in the same way.

In the past, the three little ones just found a corner and stood waiting to start the game.

I used to be used to pushing Princess Ankang's wheelchair here, but now that I don't use a wheelchair, it's hard to find a place to sit and rest.

Fortunately, the Eighth Prince's pomp was large enough, and every time he played in the Imperial Garden, the attendants would have a separate table under the stage.

Now it's just a few more chairs added to the table for Princess Ankang and others to sit down, which is considered casual.

Everyone has also taken advantage of the Eighth Prince, and now they have a seat to sit down while waiting for the game to start, otherwise they used to stand.

There were only a few pavilions at the scene, and concubines were sitting in them.

It's not easy for princes like them to compete with their elders. This is against the rules.

Only the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince and the third prince and others, due to the high status of the mother and concubine, could sit with them in the pavilion.

But there is some distance between the pavilion and the high platform. During the game, everyone will basically gather under the stage, and the game can be seen more clearly.

But let's not mention these for now. Anyway, when Li Xuan stood up like this, he was more powerful than anyone else.

Although he was not as pretentious as the Eighth Prince and the Third Prince, he just stood up normally, without any special movements or expressions, and just meowed lightly.

This time, it was the third prince's turn to have weak legs.

The third prince was standing like that when he suddenly felt that his pants were a little damp and his butt was sticky.

He knew very well that he had not relaxed, but seeing Li Xuan couldn't help but have a special psychological shadow, which made him feel that the pants he was wearing became more and more uncomfortable.

Although the third prince wanted to sit down, he felt that he could not lose face.

But facing Li Xuan's faint gaze, he finally followed his inner call.

Concubine Zhao Shu on the side looked at it and couldn't help but shake her head.

Who would have expected that the dignified third prince Daxing would be frightened by a cat.

But considering that the cat raised by Princess Ankang is indeed extraordinary, Concubine Zhao Shu can understand.

After all, there are always some lingering effects from going through something like that.

In Zhao Shufei's view, it was not Li Xuan, the cat, who left a shadow on the third prince, but the numerous witnesses at the time.

The humiliating experience in public is what makes it difficult for the third prince to let go.

"It would be great if I could show my face on a similar occasion and regain my confidence."

Concubine Zhao Shu thought so, but she didn't care too much about her son's problem.

In her opinion, this kind of thing will be forgotten by everyone after a while.

People are forgetful creatures, and not many people dare to talk about the embarrassing incident of the dignified Prince Daxing, so it should be forgotten immediately.

"Third brother, why did you suddenly stand up and sit down again?"

"Is your butt uncomfortable again?"

The eighth prince asked with a concerned look on his face, causing Concubine Zhao Shu and the third prince, mother and son, to twitch their veins at the same time.

There were several muffled sounds in the pavilion, as if a cough was suppressed, or as if someone secretly farted a few muffled sounds.

Suddenly, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Zhao Shufei felt that she was too optimistic.

With this bastard in front of me, I guess the third prince is already in his 80s, so someone still needs to remember him.

As a result, the eighth prince took advantage of the victory and pursued him, without giving the third prince any time to react, and continued teasing:

"Third brother, if your butt feels uncomfortable, do you have to remember to change your pants frequently?"

"Today is the big day for the annual summary of the Royal Garden Competition. We can't let everyone sum up in suffering, right?"

The Eighth Prince pretended to be serious at first, but in the end he stopped acting. He looked like he deserved as many beatings as he wanted.

Just as the third prince was about to get angry, Concubine Zhao Shu who was on the side held him down first and said softly:

"Zhan'er, look how much Lao Ba cares about you."

"You two will have a good discussion on stage later, but you must be careful and don't really hurt your brother. Do you hear me?"

Concubine Zhao Shu had a gentle smile and her attitude was extremely sincere when she spoke to the third prince.

If a passerby really comes, I'm afraid he will really believe it.

But when the eighth prince watched the third prince calm down his anger and look at him with a smile, he knew that something bad was going to happen soon.

The Eighth Prince chirped twice, unable to continue what he said.

The fifth prince on the side gloated and pointed at the eighth prince and said, "I call you a bitch!"

The Eighth Prince's face darkened, but he still said stubbornly: "Huh, at worst, I will just admit defeat later. I won't let him hit me anyway!"

At this time, Zhao Feng, who had watched the show for a long time, explained:

"Your Highnesses, don't be too nervous. There are almost no restrictions in today's game."

"With our Ministry of Internal Affairs here, your highnesses can display their martial arts to their heart's content."

"But one thing is, you are not allowed to use weapons, you can only use your bare hands."

"Secondly, you must play in person and cannot be replaced by others."

At the end, Zhao Feng did not forget to look at Li Xuan and add:

"Not even war pets!"

Li Xuan pouted, he had expected it.

If he can appear, others will be beaten.

Hearing this, the third prince's back suddenly stiffened again, and he looked at the eighth prince and Princess Ankang with a very unfriendly look.

Li Xuan glanced at him, but didn't care too much in his heart.

Although Princess Ankang didn't have the power of Qi and blood, her physical fitness had long been extraordinary.

With the strength of the third prince, it would not be so easy to embarrass Princess Ankang.

If the third prince couldn't take Princess Ankang for a while, it would be embarrassing for him.

The only thing that worried Li Xuan was not the strength of the third prince, but his fire attribute true qi.

During the competition, if Princess Ankang was injured by the fire attribute true qi, Li Xuan couldn't guarantee that the coldness in her body would not react.

Although he helped Princess Ankang absorb the coldness in her body a few days ago, it's better to be safe than sorry.

But with Li Xuan watching over her from the bottom of the stage and two stewards on the stage, Princess Ankang would not be in too much danger.

What Li Xuan is more worried about now is that the coldness in Princess Ankang's body will counterattack on its own, just like when Princess Ankang knocked the Sixth Princess unconscious with her head.

At that time, Princess Ankang was obviously affected by strong emotions and lost some of her mind.

Li Xuan was really afraid that the same thing would happen to the Third Prince.

If someone makes a fuss about this matter, Princess Ankang's points championship might be taken away.

"I have to keep an eye on it later. If there is an accident, even if the game is interrupted, Ankang must not lose her mind."

Li Xuan made up his mind.

Finally, Zhao Feng announced the rules of the challenge.

"The competition advocates to stop at a certain point, so that your highnesses can have more opportunities to perform."

"Winning or losing will not affect the opportunity to challenge others."

"The competition is based on the consent of both parties, so even if someone challenges, you can refuse."

"If one party disagrees, the competition cannot be carried out."

"If the physical strength allows, you can fight unlimited times until today's competition is completely over."

After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he announced the start of the competition.

As soon as he finished speaking, a duel was immediately initiated.

"I want to challenge my brother."

"I agree."

Two voices sounded almost at the same time.

Everyone looked and found that it was the fourth prince challenging the eldest prince.

Many people frowned immediately, but the four concubines in the pavilion looked at the fourth prince with interest, and even Concubine Zhang nodded slightly.

"Okay, please ask the two princes to come on stage to duel."

Zhao Feng said, invited the two to come up, and soon started the first duel of the day.

When the two people fought on the stage, everyone understood the brothers' plan.

The two people's actions just responded to Zhao Feng's previous words, stop when the time is right.

These words are just talk, and the strength of persuasion depends entirely on self-consciousness.

After all, many people have big conflicts in private.

Take the third prince and the eighth prince as an example. It would be strange if they could stop when the time is right.

If it weren't for the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs watching, the third prince would have killed the eighth prince.

But the competition on the stage made everyone understand the meaning of these four words.

Everyone also immediately realized that the two brothers were not fighting in the nest.

The two of them showed their cultivation to the utmost, but they were extremely restrained when they attacked, and they didn't even know who they were attacking, and they would remind them when they attacked, and they should be as harmonious as possible.

"Brother, look at my fairy pointing the way!"

"Come on, brother!"

"This fairy pointing the way is really exquisite, let me return you the fairy pushing the monument, be careful!"

"..."

While the two brothers attacked, they talked endlessly, and they looked quite friendly and harmonious.

"My, this kid's brain is really fast."

Li Xuan saw their intention and sighed in his heart.

Needless to say, this idea must have come up with the fourth prince.

But thinking about it carefully is indeed the most correct approach.

Zhao Feng also said that the outcome of today's game was not related to the result of the game. Emperor Yongyuan would only judge based on their performance and select the winner of today and the candidate for the southern tour next year.

Like the eldest prince and the fourth prince on the stage, it can be said that they were fully demonstrating their cultivation in accordance with the rules of the game.

These two people only made physical contact when they were fighting each other. Some moves were difficult to break or deal with, so they directly hit the air beside each other, creating a sign that the other party had dodged.

But this trick is good for ordinary people, and masters can see it at a glance.

But even so, they did not deviate from their original intention of showing themselves.

Not to say that this must be the correct answer to today's game, but it is definitely a wonderful way to deal with it.

And as expected, after the eldest prince and the fourth prince performed almost the same, the fourth prince admitted defeat and stepped down.

"Big brother has a profound cultivation, I am no match for him."

"But today's exchange has benefited me a lot, it is really worth my careful reflection~"

The fourth prince sighed and shook his head and left the stage.

I don't know if it was Li Xuan's illusion, but Li Xuan felt that this kid's face had become much thicker, even more than the eighth prince.

"This guy has added some thickness to his face."

Such a contrived performance made everyone present silent.

But the performance of the three siblings is far from over.

"Brother, please give me some advice."

The sixth princess also challenged the eldest prince as a matter of course.

The eldest prince naturally had no reason to refuse and chose to fight twice in a row.

The situation on the stage was the same as before, except that the six princesses were replaced to cooperate.

It’s just that the more people look at it, the more they feel something is wrong.

The eldest prince has already fought twice in a row, so it seems reasonable to lose no matter what happens.

If others win against him, they just take advantage of the wheel battle and cannot win with force.

If you lose to him, it will be even worse. You can't beat him in a wheel battle.

Many people figured this out, and their expressions suddenly became subtle, wondering whether they should challenge or not.

Just as everyone was struggling, the second exhibition match ended.

The performance of the Sixth Princess was obviously not as natural as that of the Fourth Prince, and her last words were very traces of memorizing her lines.

Of course, there is no way around this.

At this age, those with the shamelessness of the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince are unique talents.

The Sixth Emperor's daughter has mediocre qualifications and is a girl, so she is naturally a bit thin-skinned.

"Everyone, does anyone still want to challenge me?"

The eldest prince stood on the stage, having won two games in a row. With a warm and sunny smile, he asked the younger brothers and sisters in the audience gracefully.

There was silence in the audience.

In Princess Ankang's arms, Li Xuan couldn't help leaning back slightly, leaning against the softness, and gasped.

"hiss--"

"Tell him to put it on!"

The fourth prince in the audience had already expected this scene, and smiled proudly when he saw the eunuch in colorful clothes writing furiously on the stage recording the competition.

"Okay, in this way, brother's performance will not be bad."

On the other hand, the sixth princess on the side said a little embarrassedly: "Fourth brother, won't your father see this?"

"Hey, what are you afraid of?" the fourth prince said nonchalantly.

"First of all, my father is reading the text description, so there will definitely be some omissions."

"Secondly, it doesn't matter if you see it. If you ask us to perform in the game, won't we perform?"

"I believe that the reasonable application of rules must also be a kind of performance."

The fourth prince said confidently.

He had failed several times in previous games.

Especially in the hands of Princess Ankang, it can be said that she suffered a big loss.

In addition, there are recent rumors in the capital that the Jinpeng Dynasty scam was set up by Princess Ankang. I thought these things would cause a big blow to the fourth prince, but now it seems that his mentality is quite good, at least there is no sign of decadence.

When the Sixth Princess heard that the Fourth Prince was so sure, her worries dissipated a lot.

The fourth prince silently turned to look at Princess Ankang in the distance with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Ankang, I took the lead."

"How will you respond next?"

However, contrary to the expectations of the fourth prince, some people were the first to dislike the eldest prince who invited the challenge on the stage.

"I'll also ask my eldest brother for some advice."

The third prince walked onto the stage, and the eldest prince's expression was a little stiff.

The fourth prince sighed, but he also expected such a situation.

The best case scenario would have been for no one to challenge the eldest prince and let him step down and take a rest.

But plans always fail to keep up with changes, right?

And given the third prince's temperament, the fourth prince also expected that he would do this.

After all, among all the people present, he was the only one whose cultivation level could surpass the First Prince's.
