Chapter 1073: Competition (3) Chapter 1073: Competition (3) Editor: Atlas Studios The four children ran towards their parents, sweating profusely.
Having just praised Little Treasure, Qi Xiuyuan did not mind praising his second son.
Even Li Jinghua also praised him quite a bit.
As Fan Zijin was more reserved, he only patted Little Anâs shoulder with a smile.
Little Madam Xia also wasnât one to praise her son in public.
In comparison, Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling seemed to be overly pleased with themselves.
Both of them praised their children with grins on their faces.
Tiger Head said excitedly, âDaddy, letâs also participate in the teen category.
Who knows, we might even get a good ranking?â A minister who had a son participating in the teen category couldnât help but roll his eyes in his heart.
âEven if youâre Prince Rongâs son, you canât boast so shamelessly.
A nine-year-old child dares to compete with young men of age 16 to 20?â So much contempt for their sons.
Qi Haoran also felt that his sons were too smug, so he patted their heads and said, âWeâll talk about it next year.
Donât be too smug.
You have to know that thereâs always someone better.â Mu Yangling also felt that her sons were too pleased with themselves, but she didnât agree with Qi Haoranâs way of handling things.
She said, âLet them go.
Letâs see if they can get a good ranking.
Also, they should learn that they shouldnât boast beyond their abilities.â Mu Yangling turned to the two children and said, âLittle An and Wensu wonât go in with you.
You two brothers will go alone and bring the guards.
Any prey that the guards help you with wonât be considered yours.
Since youâre going in half a day later than others, youâll be allowed to end two hours later in the afternoon.
That ought to make it fair, right?â Of course, it wasnât fair.
Putting aside the fact that the competitors in the teen category had entered four hours earlier than them, the twins were already at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength and the distribution of prey.
However, Tiger Head and Little Lion felt that they were magnanimous and had outstanding martial arts skills, so they naturally wouldnât make a fuss over this issue.
The imperial censor, who wanted to say something, shut his mouth when he saw the two childrenâs smug expressions.
Perhaps this was a good opportunity to take these two kids down a peg or two.
Little An and Wensu knew that they would only be a burden to Tiger Head and Little Lion, so they clenched their fists and cheered them on.
âWeâll wait for you outside.â Tiger Head and Little Lion nodded fiercely and ran to the Emperorâs side to pack up the snacks on his table.
After taking two pots of water, they sprinted away.
The Emperor: âââŹÂŚâ Everyone: âââŹÂŚâ Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling nodded and pretended not to see it.
It was too embarrassing.
Not feeling embarrassed at all, Tiger Head and Little Lion rode on their horses and shouted at Little An and Qi Wensu, âJust you wait.
Weâll hunt a lot of prey for you guys.
We might even get second and third place.â âYes, we believe in you.
You must work hard!â Little An and the Second Prince ran to the edge of the forest to send them off, shouting to send them off.
Qi Haoran held his forehead and glared at Mu Yangling.
How did she usually teach the kids?
Mu Yangling hesitated for a moment and felt that she ought to encourage the children, so she said firmly, âItâs always good to have confidence.â Everyone: Hehe!
Little Treasure consciously went to bring back his two younger brothers who were loitering in front of the forest and lectured them in a low voice, âDonât talk about the competition later.
Shall I bring you back for lunch?â âWhy?
I was about to ride my foal inside to cheer for Brother Tiger Head.â The Second Prince said regretfully, âIf theyâd told us earlier that they wanted to participate in the hunting competition, I might have been able to make a banner for them.â Little An criticized, âYour handwriting isnât pretty enough.â The Second Prince said nonchalantly, âI could always depend on you, right?
You could write the words, and Iâll cut and paste it.
Itâll be faster for us to work together.â Little An hesitated.
âActually, itâs not too late to do it now.
They can see it when they come out.
However, Tiger Head and Little Lion have become rivals with Brother Little Bear now.
Since weâre making it for Tiger Head and Little Lion, shouldnât we make one for Brother Little Bear too?â âThereâs no need.â The Second Prince was also a little hesitant.
âWeâre more chummy with Brother Tiger Head and Little Lion.
Brother Little Bear will forgive us.â When the Crown Prince heard their whispers, he almost fell.
He regretted leaving his younger brother in Guangzhou back then.
After thinking about it seriously, Little An still felt that he shouldnât offend Little Bear.
After all, Little Bear had the highest chance of winning.
âMaybe we can write that Brother Little Bear gets first place, Little Lion gets second place, and Tiger Head gets third place?â âWhy isnât Brother Tiger Head second?â âLittle Lionâs riding and shooting skills are more stable.â âBut Brother Tiger Head is luckier.â Little An thought about Tiger Head and Little Lionâs luck in the past and felt that Tiger Headâs luck was indeed slightly better than Little Lionâs.
âThen Tiger Head will get second place?â Exhausted, Little Treasure said, âIf you dare to write such a banner, youâll offend all the civil and military officials present.
This time, they brought their sons and nephews to participate in the hunt.
Two-thirds of them are participating in the teen category hunting competition.â This was because officials from Grade 3 to Grade 2A could each bring three family members.
Most officials would choose to bring their wives and sons and nephews.
If they had grandchildren above the age of eight, they would also bring them.
This was because they were slightly older than the princes and could take care of them a little.
Being of similar ages, they could be the princesâ playmates and were the best candidates to be their study companions.
One noteworthy thing was the Second, Third, and Fourth Princes were going to choose their study companions next year.
Tiger Head, Little Lion, and Little An could also bring their study companions to the palace to study.
As Little Anâs status was relatively low, probably very few officials above the third-grade wanted to send their son to be his study companion.
Moreover, Fan Zijin had to consider supporting some members of the Fan clan.
He did not have a good impression of Fan Zixiao and his brothers, but he could promote those from the side family who had never offended him.
Therefore, this time, children above the age of eight and below the age of 14 came to the autumn hunt with the goal of becoming the royal kidsâ study companions.
It was not a problem to snatch their glory.
On the other hand, those who brought descendants above the age of 16 were doing so for their future.
As long as they could show their faces in front of the Emperor this time and leave an impression, their careers would be much smoother in the future.
If Little An and Wensu showed the banner that cheered for Little Bear and his brothers to be in the top three, they would definitely offend them severely.
Little An and Qi Wensu were shocked.
âIf theyâre not convinced, they can put up a banner, as well.
Weâre cheering for Brother Little Bear, but they can also cheer for their sons and grandchildren.â Little Treasure coughed lightly and said, âAs officials of the Imperial Court, they wonât be so immodest.â Fancy putting up a banner.
Even if their descendants really won the championship and were praised by the Emperor, they would still step forward to humbly decline.
Little An and Qi Wensu were even more confused.
âBut whenever we did well in exams and achieved good results in competitions, Fourth Aunt would praise us and ask us to keep up the good work.
In fact, it was Fourth Aunt who taught us to make this banner during the dragon boat competition.
All the classes in our academy made it.â Little Treasure: âââŹÂŚ Your teachers must regret accepting you into the academy, right?â âHow did you know?â Qi Wensu was shocked.
âAt that time, a teacher shook his head when he saw us, and said that he regretted accepting us into the academy.
However, our results have always been outstanding.â
