Lady Wan Guan

Xiao Yan sent Ji Yunchen away to find Gu Zhouting, and Shangguan Zhaoyang happened to be gone.

"Is he Shangguan Wulang?"

"Ok!"

"I haven't seen him for a long time." Xiao Yan sighed. Shangguan's family was martyred in Gubei. His face was also injured and he avoided the palace. He stayed in the palace for more than three years. He didn't expect Shangguan Zhaoyang to be so tall. .

"Already eighteen years old." Gu Zhou stopped.

"I heard that my grades at Luming Academy have always been among the best."

"Yes, he works very hard. Now he is the only hope for the Shangguan family."

Xiao Yan secretly thought that if Shangguan Zhaoyang could go to high school this time, he would support him well in the future, and Zhaoyang would almost become his brother-in-law.

"Master Gu, do you think Madam Jiang can really invite the old god when she goes to Wujun Mountain?"

Xiao Yan changed the topic.

Jiang Wan Ning felt uncertain about inviting Taoist Priest Wu Gu.

Taoist Master Wugou is an expert hermit who never pays attention to mundane matters. In the past, his father even asked Lord Shangguan to invite him, but Lord Shangguan couldn't invite him.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, since Madam Jiang has gone, she will definitely be able to invite people here."

Only Jiang Wanning could invite Taoist Master Wu Gu.

"With your words, I feel relieved. This year has been really troubled. First there was a food shortage in the north, then there was the pox epidemic, and now my father... I heard that the prince has been making frequent moves recently, trying to hinder the establishment of the Huben Camp. I wonder if he is reluctant to dilute the military power in the hands of his father-in-law, or..."

Gu Zhouting knew that His Highness wanted to say that the Crown Prince had ulterior motives. Although he was very disappointed in the Crown Prince, such things should not be said without real evidence.

"Your Highness, the establishment of the Huben Camp is imperative and no one can stop it." Gu Zhou stopped.

Xiao Yan smiled vaguely, remembering his father's evaluation of Gu Zhouting. He was upright and well-behaved. In some respects, he was a principled person. Such a person could be reused.

The next day, Daqi’s first game came.

Even the Emperor and Queen Sun Guifei came to watch the game to boost the morale of Daqi's Cuju team.

It is unclear whether the morale of the Cuju team was boosted, but the people who bought tickets to watch the game were inspired. I didn't expect to see Long Yan during a game. The ticket price was worth it.

Amidst the shouts of "Long live, long live, long live" like a tsunami, the emperor and queen took their seats.

At the beginning of the game, the Daqi Cuju team played very hard and quickly scored a point. People in the stands stood up and clapped and cheered.

Seventh Princess Lingxi whispered: "You cheering and celebrating like this is very unfair to Shu and will affect the mood of our team members."

Qin Siyue said: "This is the disadvantage of away games. The pressure will definitely be great, but you don't have to worry too much. The game has just begun, and Daqi is only leading by one point."

The two of them murmured behind the queen, who couldn't help coughing twice and looked a little ugly.

What did the princess say? What country is she from? Did you get caught in the door this morning when you went out?

The emperor also heard it and sighed in his heart. The princess was not allowed to be on the stage. If the girl from the Shangguan family had not died and she had assisted Wang'er, Wang'er would not be so incompetent. When Nan Zhi was by Wang'er's side, Wang'er would not be so incompetent. When you make new achievements, your whole person's spirit will be different. It's a pity that at first he thought it was Wang'er's own ability, so he felt free to make Wang'er the prince, but later he realized that this was not the case at all.

Looking at Yan'er who was watching the competition with all his attention, he used to be very stubborn, but now he has become calm and his performance is remarkable. For example, when the Three Kingdoms Cuju Competition was held this time, the treasury was empty and financial resources were difficult, so he was able to think of holding it outside the palace. Ordinary people sell tickets. I heard that the income from selling tickets is more than enough to hold two competitions.

Nowadays, the calls for changing the title of Crown Prince are getting louder and louder, which is difficult to handle. Let’s see the performance of the Crown Prince himself!

The first half ended 4-2, with Daqi leading by two points.

During the intermission, Uncle Ning stood up and walked to the sidelines to reprimand the players with a dark face. A handyman responsible for cleaning the field took a broom and dustpan to the stands to sweep away the garbage. After cleaning Area B, he went to Area C. From the time of Shen Jingshan’s death, go through. Shen Jingshan waited for the busboy to walk over. He turned the paper fan in his hand, but it fell to the ground before it could be turned properly. He then bent down to pick up the fan, picked up a piece of paper on the ground unprepared, and waved the fan as if nothing had happened, waiting for the second half of the game.

Gu Zhouting glanced at Qi Yu, the deacon of Beidou Division who was not far away. Qi Yu understood and quietly left his seat.

With a whistle, the second half of the game begins.

The handyman slowly returned to the backstage with a broom and dustpan. As soon as he entered the door, he was pressed tightly and his mouth was covered.

"We have all seen what you just did. Now I will give you a chance to tell you honestly who ordered you to secretly pass the message. Otherwise, you will not be able to escape the death penalty, and your whole family will also be implicated by you." Qi Yu said coldly.

The handyman was so frightened that he almost lost his soul and nodded like a fool.

Qi Yu then ordered his men to let go of the handymen.

"My lord, I don't recognize that person. Last night, that person found me and gave me ten taels of silver, asking me to deliver the piece of paper that fell from the place of the purple-robed man in Dashu today. There are eight seats in two rows in Area C, and the younger ones really don’t know anything.”

Qi Yu asked: "What does that person look like?"

"I can't tell you what he is. He just looks ordinary, with an inconspicuous appearance among the crowd."

"That person will definitely come to you again. Just remember his appearance and do whatever he asks you to do. Treat it as if nothing happened. When the time comes, give me what you got first. From now on, If the job is done, you will be rewarded by the court. If the job fails, just wait for the whole family to lose their heads." Qi Yu threatened.

The handyman nodded fiercely: "The small one will be done well, for sure."

Qi Yu returned to the stand, Gu Zhouting immediately looked at him, and Qi Yu nodded slightly.

Gu Zhou paused. Sure enough, there was something wrong with the handyman.

When Daqi scored three points in a row, the victory was sealed, 7 to 4.

Compared to yesterday's 11-3, this score is a little friendlier.

Shu is still too weak and has lost the qualification to compete for the top spot. Although Emperor Ning led the team this time, he did not want to compete in Cuju, but he still felt uncomfortable after losing. He bowed his hands to the emperor from a distance. Then he took the people away.

Shen Jingshan still left slowly until he saw the handyman coming out to clean the stands again. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace to leave.

The emperor also left the scene. Concubine Sun, who was walking behind, suddenly sprained and fell to one side. The seventh princess behind her quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands.

"Is the imperial concubine okay?"

Concubine Sun smiled and shook her head, and followed the footsteps of the emperor and queen. No one saw that there was something extra in her hand.

Ji Yunchen happily ran to see Gu Zhouding after winning the game.

"I just said that if you compete with Dashu, you will definitely win."

Gu Zhouting poured cold water on him: "Tomorrow is the real game."

Don't be happy too early.

Ji Yunchen disagreed: "I have saved my strength today, and I will go out personally tomorrow."

Gu Zhou paused and said, "The mouse came out of the hole during the intermission."

Ji Yunchen cheered up: "I hope this mouse can bring us bigger surprises."
