Zhao Shuao didn't care about the affairs of the harem. He just sighed: It is really not easy to settle His Highness.
The matter of Dingchang's killing has subsided a little, and now there is the incident of Concubine Jiang falling out of favor. His Highness really can't stop.
As the master of the Martial Pavilion, he is more concerned about the impact this matter will have on His Highness's competition.
His Highness has a strong character. Even if this incident occurs, it will only strengthen his character. He shouldn't be sluggish, right?
"Pavilion Master, I have heard a piece of news. I believe that Your Highness must win this martial arts competition." Deputy Pavilion Master Zheng Qiong reported this.
"Oh? What kind of news?" Zhao Shuao asked curiously.
He is different from Zheng Qiong. Zheng Qiong is very well-informed. He is a Bai Xiaosheng in the martial arts pavilion. He knows all kinds of news in the court very clearly. He can even hear the anecdotes of some officials.
Therefore, Zheng Qiong told him a lot of news.
What did Zheng Qiong know this time?
Zheng Qiong lowered his voice and said: "Pavilion Master, I heard that the emperor promised that if His Highness Changding gets a good rank in the martial arts competition, he will be kind to the imperial concubine."
"I see, then indeed, His Highness Changding must win." Zhao Shuao nodded, agreeing with Zheng Qiong's judgment.
For the sake of her mother-in-law, Her Majesty Changding must defeat others, and she will definitely perform better than before.
He has discovered that His Highness Chang Ding has a mentality of getting stronger when encountering strong forces. The more dangerous and difficult the situation, the better His Highness Chang Ding's performance will be.
Although this was paid for by Concubine Jiang's loss of favor, he could not help but have a lot more expectations for His Highness.
However, the number of people in His Highness's hands is indeed too few.
When Zhao Shuao went to the palace to meet the saint, he asked for a favor from Zheng Ji, which was to allow her to recruit new people. But what is surprising is that she actually refused this favor.
She was willing to go straight to the top three martial arts arenas with Chu Feiyuan alone.
"Pavilion Master, there is one more person in Your Highness's team, and that is Cao Ning, who was expelled by Your Highness earlier..." Zheng Qiong continued.
"Cao Ning? His Highness Changding has readmitted him? What's going on?"
This time, Zhao Shuao really felt strange.
Recently, he has been busy perfecting the competition rules of Field A, and has no time to pay attention to this.
However, he knew His Highness Changding's temperament.
Since His Highness Changding has expelled Cao Ning from the team, it means that Cao Ning has violated her taboo. Why has Cao Ning returned to her now?
what's going on?
"Pavilion Master, I don't know the specific reason," Zheng Qiong replied.
Cao Ning reappeared next to His Highness Changding, which happened in the past two days.
It seems that His Highness is planning to take Cao Ning to participate in the next competition, but His Highness has not said it yet, and he is not very sure.
"No matter what His Highness plans, it is still good to have one more person in the team." Zhao Shuao said.
Especially when it comes to the first game, the number of people in the team is crucial.
But this was related to the competition rules of Arena A, and it was impossible for him to reveal anything to His Highness Chang Ding.
"What the Pavilion Master said is true." Zheng Qiong agreed. He also thought that there were too few people around His Highness Chang Ding.
Zhao Shuao twirled his beard and ordered: "No matter what His Highness Chang Ding's plan is, the first three martial arts fields are about to begin, especially the first field. You and Deputy Zhou must pay more attention."
His Highness Chang Ding is certainly one of the people he values most, but the martial arts pavilion is not His Highness Chang Ding's martial pavilion, nor his own martial pavilion, but the martial arts pavilion of all martial arts pavilions' soldiers.
He really didn't want anything to happen to Wuge again.
"Yes, Pavilion Master, don't worry." Zheng Qiong replied in a deep voice, with the same extreme caution in her heart.
Wuge is also experiencing troubled times, and this is also a huge test for him.
Especially, the competition in Field A...
This requires him to deal with it with all his energy!

In Princess Ding's palace, Zheng Ji looked at Chu Feiyuan and Cao Ning standing in front of him and said, "Cao Ning, you can participate in this competition with me."
"Yes, Your Highness." Cao Ning replied respectfully with his head lowered, suppressing the turmoil in his heart with all his strength.
Finally, he returned to His Highness's team.
Chu Feiyuan on the side listened to this and nodded to Cao Ning, trying his best to squeeze out a smile.
He welcomed Cao Ning to rejoin His Highness's team, but he was not a person who showed his emotions and could not laugh and pat his shoulders like Shen Chen did.
Besides, he was worried, so it was already difficult for him to smile.
After he knew that the emperor had promised His Highness Changding, he focused all his attention on improving his martial arts, hoping to increase his chances of winning.
Cao Ning's joining means that His Highness's hope of winning will increase by one point. This is a good thing. He will never refuse and will actively cooperate.
What's more, he has great trust in His Highness. There must be some necessary reason for His Highness to allow Cao Ning to return to the team.
He doesn't care, as long as His Highness can win.
Zheng Ji did not tell Chu Feiyuan in detail the reason why Cao Ning came back to her. The less people knew about the dark chess, the better.
The reason that prompted her to make this decision was, of course, that Prince Yu Jiawei's family had moved. ——They have contacted Cao Ning again.
Perhaps due to the influence of his mother's visit to Cining Palace, the prince and his family felt that they were too passive for not noticing her movements in time, so they accelerated their actions to place chess pieces around her.
Cao Ning was the best chess piece they were looking for.
This was an unexpected gain for her.
"The next step is the competition in the top three martial arts fields. The road ahead is very difficult, so you have to deal with it carefully." Zheng Ji said to Cao Ning, with a hint.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Cao Ning nodded, his heart tumbling again.
Being able to return to His Highness's team and receive careful guidance from Mr. Du, he also knew very well that the real test had just begun.
In fact, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the real test of the Prince's line should be in this competition in the Wuge.
How can he be able to help His Highness and win the trust of the Prince's family?
This is actually a very difficult process and can even be life-threatening.
Even so, he was not afraid at all, because he knew very well what he really wanted to do.
Now, he only needs to follow His Highness and concentrate on the competition.
In the following competitions, Zheng Ji led Chu Feiyuan and Cao Ning and won one competition after another.
A team of just three people actually broke into the competition in Field A!
As for Tao Jingyi and Shen Chen, while their injuries were gradually getting better, they were still anxious inside.
They always feel that there is not much time left for them. His Highness has already gone to the battlefield, and they must stand by His Highness's side!
After the martial arts pavilion announced the competition rules for the last martial arts field, the A field, it once again caused a sensation.
