Chapter 367 What a crappy reward

Chapter 367 What a crappy reward

"uh-huh."

Seeing that the farce in front of him had a result, Zhao Feng coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Your Highnesses, I still need to submit the results of the competition to His Majesty for verification. If you have any objections, please go to the Manna Palace and ask for His Majesty's instructions."

Once these words were spoken, no one dared to say anything.

Originally, most of them were eliminated, and those who scored points or not had nothing to do with them.

It's just that Li Xiong came out to make trouble, and everyone was happy to watch the fun.

But none of them expected that Princess Ankang was also a capable person.

If it had been anyone else, they would have ignored Li Xiong's behavior.

Princess Ankang could actually say sorry to Li Xiong, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course they didn't know that Princess Ankang just saw that Li Xiong couldn't hold on anymore and was afraid that he would be embarrassed in front of his friends.

And just to coax the child, in the eyes of the gentle and kind Princess Ankang, there is no problem at all.

Unfortunately, most of the royal heirs did not understand Princess Ankang's intentions.

Li Xiong, who was still rolling on the ground before, was now surrounded by the little beans. He was as proud as a victorious general. He was praised by his friends and couldn't find the north.

For these little beans, being in the limelight is much more important than winning the game.

As for the other royal heirs, they only care about the outcome of the game and their own gains and losses.

Apart from that, there are no more ideas.

After all, that's all people care about.

At this moment, the third prince was hiding in his tent, listening to what was going on outside.

When he heard that the final winner was Princess Ankang, he clenched his fists tightly and looked uncertain.

"Third brother."

On the side, the Ninth Princess screamed worriedly.

After a while, the third prince took out a breath and said:

"This time I underestimated them."

Obviously, the third prince was not just talking about Princess Ankang.

Ever since he woke up from a coma and found that he had been eliminated, he had been reflecting on it when he was waiting blankly for the end of the game along with other brothers and sisters whom he looked down on.

In this game, he was led by the nose from beginning to end.

Especially in the last melee, the third prince still can't understand how accurately Princess Ankang made waves of reinforcements rush to the battlefield, consuming her own strength.

From this point alone, the third prince was convinced that he had lost.

"It seems like these guys are not just hanging around in the palace waiting to die."

The third prince sighed quietly, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not dissipate.

The Ninth Emperor's daughter was relieved to see that the third prince was not depressed.

After all, the third prince had heard a lot of sarcastic and unpleasant remarks in the past few days.

He had spoken shamelessly in the imperial garden before, which naturally aroused the hatred of many people.

Moreover, the third prince is indeed capable.

But if a capable person is eliminated early, it will make other mediocre people feel even more sad. They think that the third prince is nothing more than that, or even worse than them. He is just a fake person who only talks and does not practice. That’s all.

Of course, these will be firmly remembered by the third prince.

His experience in the military was a struggle between life and death. A few rumors and rumors could not hinder his progress at all, but would instead become his motivation.

The third prince stared at the gap at the tent door and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Ankang, you hide it well!"

Outside, Zhao Feng saw that no one had any objections, so he took all the participating princes and princesses back to the palace.

Ten days later, they crossed the Xuanwu Gate again, making everyone feel as if they were in another world.

It was the first time for many of them to stay in the wild for such a long time, so naturally they felt novel.

Now that we have to return to the familiar palace, everyone has different moods.

For example, the three little ones were relieved to finally be able to go back and have a good rest.

Especially after these ten days of hard work, the good results made them feel that it was all worth it.

Even Li Xuan, who has been paying attention to the movements around him for the past ten days, is exhausted. He just wants to go home early, lie down in his nest, bask in the sun, and sleep well for a few days.

After returning to the palace, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

Zhao Feng went to the Ganlu Palace without stopping, preparing to give a detailed report to Emperor Yongyuan about this competition.

When he came to Ganlu Hall, Emperor Yongyuan was rarely dealing with government affairs. Instead, he was sitting on a futon on the ground and meditating with his eyes closed.

On the side, Manager Shang was also standing by.

After Zhao Feng was announced into the palace, he silently knelt down and saluted in the distance, and did not come forward to disturb Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan was able to be so diligent in his work on weekdays, and it was thanks to his cultivation that he had no serious health problems until now.

After a long time, Emperor Yongyuan slowly opened his eyes, with a restrained look. It was obvious that his cultivation was not bad.

The charm in Emperor Yongyuan's eyes slowly disappeared, returning to the normal state of the past.

"Zhao Feng, how is Qiu Shou?"

"Your Majesty, this is the result." Zhao Feng said as he presented the final result, and then continued: "The specific details of the competition have not been sorted out yet, and they will be sent to the Manlu Palace for Your Majesty's review early tomorrow morning."

Emperor Yongyuan nodded and took the result of the game. When he opened it, it was not what he expected.

"Sure enough, in the wild environment, with Ah Xuan's help, no one else can match Ankang."

Seeing that only four people completed the game in the end, plus their respective scores, Emperor Yongyuan could roughly guess the course of the game.

"Where's the third child?"

"With his strength, why didn't he even finish the game?"

Emperor Yongyuan put away the results of the game and asked.

"His Royal Highness Three was surrounded and suppressed midway through the competition, and was eventually eliminated by His Highness Ankang."

For that melee, Zhao Feng had already prepared and compiled the intelligence of his men in advance.

Because, he guessed that Emperor Yongyuan would be interested in this battle.

Then, Zhao Feng vividly described the situation at that time.

Although he was watching Dabai at the time, he had information from the colorful eunuchs under his command, so it was not difficult for him to restore the scene verbally.

After listening to Zhao Feng's description of the battle, Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but shook his head:

"What you do in the military won't work in the palace."

"I hope the third child can turn the corner as soon as possible, right?"

"Lao Ninth, on the other hand, is getting closer and closer to Lao San."

There was no dissatisfaction in Emperor Yongyuan's tone, just some emotion.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to remind you?"

Zhao Feng saw Emperor Yongyuan taking the initiative to bring up this topic, so he asked more.

"That's all, Lao Jiu has been given up by them, and his only value is as a ladder."

Emperor Yongyuan said casually.

But as soon as these words came out, the other eunuchs in the palace became awe-inspiring and did not dare to say another word on this topic. They only stared at their toes.

In the whirlpool of power, the more ruthless and ruthless a person is, the more he only cares about profit, the longer and more stable he will be able to stand.

Even if she is a royal princess, she is just a bargaining chip in the exchange of interests.

The sooner a person is given up, the cheaper his value becomes.

"At least let Lao Jiu live the life he likes for a few years."

Emperor Yongyuan's words made all the eunuchs present understand how to treat the Ninth Emperor's daughter in the future.

Then, Emperor Yongyuan turned the topic back to the autumn hunting competition.

"The rewards for the competition will be distributed as previously agreed. Pay attention to other people's reactions and don't make too much noise."

Chief Monk Zhao Feng glanced at each other quietly, then immediately withdrew his gaze.

Then, Manager Shang stepped forward and asked for instructions:

"Your Majesty, is it too early?"

"I'm afraid Jingyang Palace can't accept such a reward."

Manager Shang expressed his concerns.

But Emperor Yongyuan said firmly:

"It's getting late. There are only four months left in this year. We need to make the remaining people nervous."

Speaking of this, Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but smile slightly, his eyelids drooped, wondering what he was thinking.

"Follow the Holy Order!"

The great eunuchs in the palace responded in unison, and there was no other sound.

…

"Renovate Jingyang Palace!?"

The three little ones looked at each other, all extremely surprised by the news.

A few days have passed since the autumn hunting competition, and the three little ones also got enough rest at home and returned to their original daily routine.

But today, Zhao Feng suddenly paid a visit and said that he had brought them a reward for winning the autumn hunting competition.

As a result, Zhao Feng brought such news.

"What kind of reward is this?"

Li Xuan cursed in his heart.

The three little ones were extremely satisfied with the top prizes in the previous competitions, and naturally began to look forward to the prizes in this autumn hunting competition.

But I never expected that Emperor Yongyuan seemed to be on the road to deceiving people and never return.

Giving the eldest prince a large mansion outside the palace was already ironic.

As a result, this time they had to repair Jingyang Palace for them.

"Renovating a cold palace?"

This is the voice of the three little ones at this time.

Although Jingyang Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, the three little ones have long been accustomed to living there.

Besides, no matter how well the Jingyang Palace is built, it can't change the nature of it being a cold palace.

"Is this Emperor Yongyuan addicted to having fun?"

Li Xuan stared with big eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with the prize this time.

The three little ones were used to living in poverty, so they didn't really care that much whether the house they lived in was good or not.

They are very satisfied if they can have enough food and clothing.

Instead of these vain rewards, it would be better to get more real ones.

Natural treasures, martial arts secrets, rare magic weapons, which one is better than giving decorations.

When he saw the three little ones, they all looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. No one said anything, and Zhao Feng couldn't help but coughed in embarrassment.

He also expected the reaction of the three little ones, so he immediately eased the atmosphere and said:

"Your Majesty also hopes that the living conditions in Jingyang Palace can be better."

"After all, His Highness Ankang is frail and sick, and a better environment will be of great benefit to his physical cultivation."

Li Xuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes and cursed secretly:

"I didn't care if I was going to die of illness before, but now that I'm well, I think of this, right?"

In Li Xuan's view, Emperor Yongyuan was sincerely disgusted with them.

"What happened to Emperor Yongyuan?"

"Is it discouraging other people's enthusiasm to participate?"

After learning from the mistakes of the eldest prince and Princess Ankang, who can expect the top prize if he becomes number one in the future?

“If you don’t want others to participate, just cancel the competition.”

"What are you doing?"

Li Xuan was puzzled.

However, when Princess Ankang saw that Zhao Feng was trying his best to rescue Emperor Yongyuan, she also said considerately:

"So that's the case. I'm sorry that my father is worried."

Princess Ankang smiled slightly, but did not show too much dissatisfaction.

Zhao Feng nodded, also thanking Princess Ankang for her understanding, and then brought them another piece of good news.

"By the way, His Majesty has agreed to Jingyang Palace's request to raise Dabai."

"When Jingyang Palace is being renovated this time, a special place will be set aside for Dabai to live."

After hearing the news, the three little ones felt a little more beautiful.

Princess Ankang was even more delighted and said: "That's great. Manager Zhao also asks you to thank my father on my behalf."

Previously, they had thought of freeing up an unused warehouse as a room for Dabai, and then letting him roam in the yard on weekdays.

It's better now. After the repairs, Dabai can have his own living space.

When the three little ones went to play in the Eighth Prince's Xiaoyao Courtyard, they saw that he had specially set aside a small courtyard for Axiang to live in, and he took good care of it.

Originally, Jingyang Palace could not afford such a renovation, but now it has a chance.

From this point of view, this repair is not such a bad reward.

When Princess Ankang heard that a place dedicated to raising Dabai could be built, she also started to think about it.

"Manager Zhao, during the renovation, can you help A Xuan and Jin Zhu build a special place to play?"

Li Xuan always goes out to play, and the golden pig always stays in the water tank. Princess Ankang always looks at it and feels uncomfortable.

Now that she has the conditions, she wants to bring some benefits to the little ones at home.

"Haha, don't worry, Your Highness."

"Before the construction begins, craftsmen will come to ask for instructions on the renovation plan. If your Highness has any needs at that time, just ask them."

"As long as it is within the repair budget this time, His Highness's requirements can be met."

Zhao Feng replied with a smile.

When Li Xuan heard the words "repair budget", his ears suddenly twitched and he became energetic.

He had played a game of building a bridge before and knew how deep the water was.

But this time they are Party A, and they have to continue to live in the Jingyang Palace after repairs. Extremely greedy methods must not be used on themselves.

Otherwise, the house would collapse one day while we were sleeping, and the three little ones would have no place to cry.

"Since we can't get into our own pockets, we have to spend all the budget and leave nothing to Emperor Yongyuan."

Li Xuan immediately swung his tail and secretly wrote on Princess Ankang's back.

Princess Ankang immediately felt the words on her back, and her smile suddenly became unnatural.

"This stinky Ah Xuan!"

Princess Ankang cursed secretly in her heart, but still put on an embarrassed smile and asked Zhao Feng:

"Manager Zhao, I wonder how much the repair budget is?"

Hearing Princess Ankang ask such a philistine question, Zhao Feng silently turned his eyes to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan pretended to lick his hair, pretending not to notice Zhao Feng's gaze.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is asking you something!"

Li Xuan cursed secretly and licked his hair more actively.
