Wake up.
Princess Ankang is still refreshed, her face is rosy, as if she is reborn, and she has an inexhaustible strength in her body.
Li Xuan on the other side was still the same, as listless and wilted as if he had been sucked dry.
Princess Ankang now also knows that after sleeping together, she and Li Xuan feel completely different, so she does not disturb Li Xuan's rest and vents her excess energy by jumping around in the yard.
She felt that if she didn't spend it properly, she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
Princess Ankang is as excited as a wind-up doll and can't stop at all.
Yu'er played with Princess Ankang and vented her extra energy, but she couldn't help but stare blankly.
"Is this still my princess?"
"You have more energy than me!"
Li Xuan lay on the stone table, absorbing the warmth of the sun and recovering his strength. He occasionally opened an eyelid to look at the two girls playing wildly in the yard.
"It's already beyond ordinary people."
Li Xuan made an evaluation of Princess Ankang and closed his eyes again.
"If you do it a few more times, you might actually become a superman."
Li Xuan smiled and didn't dare to think too much.
The premise of all this is that his growth can keep up with Princess Ankang.
Otherwise, if he is surpassed, Li Xuan himself may be in danger of his life.
This was something he had experienced personally before.
And this time happened to be the sixth time to help Princess Ankang absorb the chill in her body.
The previous Ten Tiger Forms only lasted three times before Princess Ankang practiced them to perfection, and then the chill caused in her body became stronger.
The Swimming Fish Pose has now been held three times, and Li Xuan is also a little afraid that this technique has been perfected by Princess Ankang.
If this is really the case, Li Xuan must find a way to improve his strength as soon as possible before helping Princess Ankang absorb the chill next time.
"In the marrow training realm, I can use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to speed up the progress. I have to ask Old Zhao to be more attentive and help me find some good things."
The soul-gathering bell that Zhao Feng sent earlier was quite good. Li Xuan rang it once a day. When he used the roar of the dragon and tiger, the effect would be greatly enhanced, which could speed up the progress of his practice in disguise.
But this was not enough. Princess Ankang's increasing physique put Li Xuan under a lot of pressure.
"I have to take the time to ask Manager Shang and Zhao Feng if there is any way to speed up the practice of the Marrow Realm."
The cheerful laughter of Princess Ankang and Yu'er came to my ears.
Li Xuan couldn't help opening his eyelids to look at them again.
Seeing the carefree appearance of the two girls, Li Xuan closed his eyes and continued to rest, feeling that the sunlight shining on his body was more comfortable.
"Time waits for no one, you have to hurry up!"
…
A few days passed.
It’s time for the monthly Royal Garden Party again.
This time, Emperor Yongyuan did not give any further notice, so the time and location remained unchanged.
By the time the three little ones arrived at the Royal Garden, a lot of people had already gathered here.
It seems that the lack of people last time was just a coincidence. Today, the Royal Garden is full of people again.
The prince, princess, concubines, and their respective attendants, as well as the colorful eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who maintained the scene.
Compared to the last time we were in Juhan Palace, it was so much more lively.
"It feels a bit like the original again."
Li Xuan nestled in Princess Ankang's arms and yawned widely while looking at the bustling imperial garden.
After experiencing several games, these faces in front of me have become familiar.
Of course, some familiar faces were not present this time.
Concubine Zhang, for the rare occasion, did not come to see the excitement, and her beloved eldest prince was already sharpening his sword on the sidelines.
The eldest prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince stood aside, talking about something unknown, smiling from time to time, looking more relaxed than usual.
"I thought he was going crazy."
Li Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the eldest prince.
To be honest, he thought that after what happened last time, the eldest prince's mentality would inevitably be affected.
Now it seems that I don't know if he is pretending well or if he is really not affected, at least he looks like a fine person.
As for the fourth prince and sixth prince, they were more relaxed than before. It seemed that Concubine Zhang was helping her children instead.
Li Xuan guessed that Concubine Zhang wanted to implement her own patient settings, so she did not visit the scene in person.
Although it was the secret exchange of interests that made Emperor Yongyuan change his decision to immediately expel the eldest prince from the palace, he still did it for the sake of Concubine Zhang's "falling ill".
Therefore, the illness had to be feigned for a while, and it took some time for Concubine Zhang to reappear in front of everyone.
Li Xuan glanced around the Imperial Garden, then looked at the stage.
Zhao Fengzheng led his people to arrange the competition scene without any hesitation.
There are throwing pots and some targets on the stage, so that people can tell what today's project is at a glance.
Zhao Feng on the stage also saw the arrival of the three little ones, nodded to them gently, and then continued to direct the colorful eunuchs in their work.
"Axuan, it seems that today is a hut competition."
Princess Ankang's tone was both nervous and excited.
She had never played hut when she was in Jingyang Palace.
Although there is a pot at home, there are no arrows to throw.
But these days, Princess Ankang always practices slingshots with Yu'er, so she is quite confident in throwing things.
Regardless of Princess Ankang's lack of cultivation, since the last time Li Xuan helped her absorb the chill in her body, her physique has been further strengthened, and her slingshot technique has surpassed Yu'er's.
Princess Ankang can now hit ten red dots on the chessboard in succession, while Yu'er, who has the strength of a ninth-grade warrior, can only hit six at most, which shows how big the gap is.
Although there is a head-on confrontation, Princess Ankang is definitely not Yu'er's opponent.
But if we just talk about her attainments in ball-slinging, Princess Ankang has already surpassed Yu'er by a lot.
In the future, it is not impossible for Princess Ankang to use the slingshot technique to fight Yu'er reciprocally.
I just want to reach that point and I don’t know what day it will be.
But from now on, it seems that Yu'er's cultivation speed cannot keep up with Princess Ankang's pursuit.
I'm afraid that soon, the weakest person in Jingyang Palace may not be Princess Ankang.
At this time, Princess Ankang came to Li Xuan's ear again and whispered:
"Axuan, don't worry."
"I am confident about this project. Maybe I can win it today."
Li Xuan nodded after hearing this, rubbed his face against Princess Ankang's cheek, and made a coquettish gesture.
Princess Ankang, who had never been so obsessed with winning, suddenly became motivated.
But there's a reason for that.
Princess Ankang wanted to win so much today because she was actually doing it for Li Xuan.
A few days ago, Li Xuan went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find two managers and asked them for advice on how to speed up the practice of the Marrow Realm.
The two managers were not surprised that Li Xuan would come to ask for advice on this issue.
They know better than anyone else that Li Xuan is so eager to improve his strength because of Princess Ankang.
Facts have also proved that Li Xuan's efforts are very useful.
At least Princess Ankang's life is much better now than before.
As the cronies of Emperor Yongyuan, Manager Shang and Zhao Feng knew very well that Emperor Yongyuan cared more about Li Xuan than Princess Ankang.
But even so, if Li Xuan becomes stronger and shows more potential, Princess Ankang can also benefit from it.
The Soul Gathering Bell recently delivered to Jingyang Palace is a good example.
Now when Princess Ankang goes to bed every night, Yu'er will help Princess Ankang ring the Soul Gathering Bell, and then sleep peacefully to the sound of the Soul Gathering Bell.
Therefore, Princess Ankang's sleep quality is particularly good now. She only needs to sleep for three hours a day to be energetic the next day.
Originally, in the past month, Princess Ankang suddenly read more books, which made her feel a little nervous.
As a result, after using the Soul Gathering Bell, I recovered after a few sleeps.
Now I am particularly alert when reading during the day, and my eyes are much brighter.
As for Li Xuan's question, Zhao Feng just shook his head in embarrassment.
After all, treasures from heaven and earth can be encountered but cannot be sought.
Moreover, the royal treasury does not belong to him, Zhao Feng. No matter how many good things there are in it, he cannot withdraw it at will. He can only promise Li Xuan to help him pay more attention to it.
But Manager Shang seems to have some ideas.
It's just that the fashion manager didn't say it clearly at the time, and just asked Li Xuan to try his best to let Princess Ankang win this month's Royal Garden Competition.
If he can win, Manager Shang will tell him what the specific method is.
Having a way is better than having no way at all.
After Li Xuan remembered what Manager Shang said, he mentioned it to Princess Ankang and Yu'er when he came back.
The two of them naturally supported Li Xuan unconditionally.
Especially Princess Ankang, who has been a rookie for more than ten years and now finally has some abilities, she naturally plans to do something for her lovely cats.
Therefore, Princess Ankang, who was still a little nervous at first, became more motivated after coming to the Imperial Garden and seeing today's competition events.
She felt that if it was just a matter of accuracy, she would have no chance of winning.
Princess Ankang was previously afraid of what she would do if there was a martial arts competition today.
Although she is willing to break her persona of a sick beauty and stand up to make gestures with her brothers and sisters, but with her complete lack of martial arts skills, I'm afraid it won't be much different than sitting in a wheelchair. .
Although Princess Ankang's physique is now stronger than ordinary people, it is not good enough compared to the royal heirs who have been practicing martial arts since childhood.
Even those little cubs who are less than Princess Ankang's waist height can probably beat her with one hand.
Fortunately, Emperor Yongyuan did not choose such a simple and crude competition event.
Emperor Yongyuan also paid attention to the selection of competition events, which was to give each prince and princess a theoretical chance of winning as much as possible.
Emperor Yongyuan did this not for the sake of fairness and justice, but to let as many people as possible focus on the monthly competition instead of other crooked ways that would give him a headache.
Judging from the past few months alone, Emperor Yongyuan's method is quite useful.
At least the excess energy of the princes, princesses and concubines has been used up, which has also made the harem more peaceful.
Zhao Feng, who had been busy for a long time, finally led people to arrange the competition site.
I saw him shooing away all the eunuchs in colorful clothes, leaving only a few people on the stage, and then announced to everyone:
"The competition is about to begin. Your Highnesses, please gather in front of the stage. I will announce the rules of today's competition."
Upon hearing this, the princes and princesses in the imperial garden quickly gathered in front of the stage.
All the concubines and ladies also found their seats and sat down, preparing to watch today's game.
Seeing everyone gathered, Zhao Feng then explained today's rules to everyone.
He turned around and pointed at the prepared props on the stage.
"Your Highnesses, please take a look."
"Today is a throwing competition. You can choose the props you want to throw, including arrows, darts, stones, etc."
"The throwing props prepared by yourself need to be inspected by the old slave. If they pass the inspection, they can also be used in the competition."
"There are a hundred targets in the competition, and each target is worth one point."
"The one with the highest score wins!"
After Zhao Feng announced the rules of the competition, the princes and princesses below had different expressions, but many of them were full of confidence.
Naturally, this also includes Princess Ankang.
Thank you all book friends for your monthly support.
Today is the third update of the daily routine. Rong Baimiao will make some adjustments to see if the daily routine can be improved again in the future.
Unexpectedly, I only lasted for a month and then stopped moving. Alas~
