"Dead?! Really dead?" Qu Xiaofeng, who was so hard to get off, said in surprise.

  It is unbelievable that such a big wild boar was kicked into the air by Xiang Nan, and kicked to death directly.

   "Yes, if it doesn't die, you will die." Xiang Nan laughed, "Then you will become the first princess in this world to be crushed to death by a wild boar."

   "I hate it!" Qu Xiaofeng said coquettishly, "But Li Chengyin, your martial arts are really high. Thank you just now!"

   "You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "This wild boar is yours, I'll help you carry it out~"

   "No, I only shot it with an arrow, but you killed it." Qu Xiaofeng said quickly, she didn't take advantage of it.

   "The wild boar is coming for you." Xiang Nan laughed, "If you didn't attract hatred, it wouldn't charge over. How about this, this pig is fair for both of us, right?"

   "That's about the same." Qu Xiaofeng nodded.

  …

  Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng hunted a few more deer and wild boars.

   Waiting until noon, the two returned to Li Palace to join everyone.

  As for the prey they got, they were naturally collected by people in the Forbidden Garden.

  Because there are different markings on the arrows, there will be no confusion or counterfeiting.

   Otherwise, being exposed by others is both cheating and embarrassing, and no one would take such a big risk.

  Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng returned to Li Palace and joined Li Chengye, Li Chengwen, Li Chengyuan and others.

   "Yongning, do you know that I almost had an accident just now. There was such a big wild boar that came at me~" Qu Xiaofeng chirped and told Yongning about the dangerous experience just now.

   "Then are you okay?" Yongning asked hastily.

"No. As soon as that wild boar came in front of me, it was kicked to death by Li Chengyin." Qu Xiaofeng imitated Xiang Nan's kick and said, "Oh, it's really dangerous, I almost became the number one in the world The princess who was crushed to death by a wild boar."

   "Then you will be famous in history." Yong Ning pursed his lips and smiled, "You will be recorded in the history books, 'Xizhou Ninth Princess, was killed by a wild boar while hunting...'"

   "I hate it, don't make fun of me." Qu Xiaofeng said angrily.

  Everyone listened to Qu Xiaofeng's words, but they were all thoughtful.

   "Okay, father, mother, and empress dowager are all waiting for us in the banquet hall, let's go there quickly." Li Chengye said.

  Everyone nodded and walked through the Qushui corridor to the banquet hall.

  …

  On the veranda, there are many relatives of the emperor, princes and ministers, waiting there with their children.

  Seeing the arrival of the princes, they all stepped forward to salute.

   "Minister Zhao Jingyu pays homage to King Xuande!" Zhao Jingyu also pulled Zhao Sese and Zhao Shixuan to meet him, "King Xuande, this is the little girl Sese. Sese, come and meet King Xuande."

   "Surse pays homage to King Xuande." Zhao Sesel stepped forward, and Yingying bowed down.

   Li Chengye just nodded lightly.

He didn't care about female **** at all, besides, although Zhao Jingyu was called the General of the Fuguo, he didn't actually hold real power in his hands and had been idle for several years, so he wasn't considered a minister of power. any help.

   Therefore, he didn't care about Zhao Jingyu's flattery and invitation.

   "King Xuande, my daughter specially dressed up today." Zhao Jingyu continued flatteringly, "I have admired King Xuande for a long time."

   "Well, I have a heart." Li Chengye responded casually, without even looking at Zhao Sesel, he led everyone away.

   Zhao Jingyu has been in the officialdom for a long time, and his face is thicker than the city wall. Although he was left out in the cold, he was not angry.

  Zhao Sese was thin-skinned, and was so ignored by King Xuande that she couldn't help but stand on the spot, feeling like falling into an ice cave.

  At this moment, Xiang Nan took out a white rabbit from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Miss Zhao, I got this from hunting just now, I will give it to you to keep and play."

   "Thank you, Your Highness~" Seeing Xiang Nan sending her white rabbit, Zhao Sesel was immediately moved.

  Li Chengye glanced at Xiang Nan, then at Zhao Sesel, with a subtle expression.

  Seeing that Xiang Nan gave Zhao Sese a white rabbit, Qu Xiaofeng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

  …

  In the banquet hall, the princes were seated.

  Afterwards, the servant Cao Ji began to announce the hunting results of the princes.

"The second prince hunted ten pheasants, two wild boars, two elk, and five rabbits; the third prince hunted one elk, five white rabbits; the fourth prince hunted one wild boar, five pheasants; the fifth prince hunted ten pheasants, four wild boars, Five elks; nine princesses hunting one wild boar, four pheasants. The second prince and fifth prince are running side by side." Cao Ji read out.

  Hearing this result, the faces of everyone present were a little subtle.

  The royal family, princes and ministers all understand that the second and fifth princes are most likely to win in this battle for the crown prince. Because both of them are very smart, and they have made great achievements in conquering Dan Chi.

  In comparison, the third prince and the fourth prince did not make any achievements, and both of them lack talent and courage, so they were eliminated early.

   Because of this, now seeing that the second prince and the fifth prince have hunted nineteen prey, they are neck and neck, regardless of the size. It seems that the competition for the crown prince has already shown its clues in this hunting.

  Even if it is just a coincidence, it is also arousing people's imagination.

   "Your Majesty, the wild boar that Xiaofeng killed was actually killed by King Yi and I together." Qu Xiaofeng suddenly stood up and said.

  Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

   Unexpectedly, I thought they were neck and neck, but now the fifth prince is even better.

   Moreover, it seems that the Ninth Princess and the Fifth Prince are very close friends. Otherwise, how could they hunt together.

   "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yi just gave me a white rabbit." Zhao Sese also got up at this time and said.

  When everyone heard this, their faces became more subtle.

   Unexpectedly, the fifth prince won not only by half, but by one. If today's hunting results are used to determine the candidate for the crown prince, then King Yi has obviously won.

  Zhang Meiniang's face was beaming with joy, she didn't expect her son to give her such a face, it was really worth all her hard work teaching.

  As for King Xuande, he has changed from being smug before to becoming a little frustrated.

   The hunt lost, which has embarrassed him. What made him even more embarrassed was that both Qu Xiaofeng and Zhao Sese spoke for Xiang Nan.

  Zhao Jingyu couldn't help being startled when he saw his daughter standing up suddenly. Seeing King Xuande's uncertain expression, his heart fell to the bottom.

  He was trying to cling to King Xuande, but unexpectedly, his daughter ruined the event. If King Xuande is angry, what should be done.

   "Well, the fun of hunting lies in the process, not the result. You can give the prey you caught today to anyone present." Seeing this, the emperor said with a smile.

  As soon as Xiang Nan heard it, he knew that he deliberately favored Li Chengye.

  If the fun of hunting lies only in the process, not in the result, why did he order Cao Ji to count the prey of the princes?

   Now that I see myself in the upper hand, I stand up and say that the result is not important. It is clear that I am pulling sideways.
