The Cuju competition in Beijing did not have such a momentum in previous years. Today's momentum was large because the princess's mansion and the city defense camp had started to fight, and the two sides made a bet in front of the imperial court, which could be said to be full of gimmicks.

In addition, Emperor Xinde, who had not been concerned about political affairs for many years and did not participate in royal activities, showed a strong interest in the Cuju competition. Undoubtedly, this is the main reason for the huge momentum of the Cuju competition.

The Cuju competition is about to begin, and the circle of nobles in the capital is going crazy. In order to prepare for this event, Eunuch Feng personally made arrangements and deployments. Hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids are turning around like lanterns every day. This formation is comparable to the annual sacrificial ceremony.

Zhuang Xiaoxian has been in a state of excitement these days. The incident in Xiyuan has long been spreading in the circle of powerful people in the capital. Lu Zheng was in the imperial prelude, and a confrontation with the eldest princess can be said to be extremely exciting. The two agreed to decide the victory and defeat with Cuju. As a member of the Cuju team, Zhuang Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of this.

From childhood to adulthood, he was bullied by Long Lingxiu. The woman Long Lingxiu was simply unreasonable. Zhuang Xiaoxian was really afraid of this woman, and at the same time he hated this woman in his heart. But the other party was the princess. Although Zhuang Xiaoxian was a treasure in the banker, even the empress dowager was very spoiled to him, but the princess's identity was too noble and he dared not take revenge at all.

But now the opportunity has come. Lu Zheng dares to do something he dares to do. Zhuang Xiaoxian can no longer imagine that Long Lingxiu, who is arrogant and arrogant after defeating the Princess' Mansion, looked down in front of all civil and military officials. If there was really a moment, Zhuang Xiaoxian felt that he would remember it for the rest of his life. He would not do anything else in his life, and he would do this thing, that would be great!

Places like the imperial palace are very mysterious to others, but Zhuang Xiaoxian is extremely familiar with it. After entering the palace, he headed straight to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace. Along the way, he was thinking about how he would tell the emperor's aunt that the Cuju competition was about to be held.

Zhuang Xiaoxian is one of the twenty-five members of the Cuju team of the City Defense Battalion! He feels that after the emperor’s aunt knows this, he will definitely be very happy!

Who said that Zhuang Xiaoxian is not a man? He is qualified to be one of the twenty-five people in the city defense camp. This alone is enough to show that he is no worse than the others!

Zhuang Xiaoxian thought this way and met the nanny from Cining Palace winked at him. He frowned slightly and was about to speak when he heard the Queen Mother's voice coming from inside:

"My royal family must abide by the rules of the harem. Lord Lu Zheng is the number one talented man in Dakang. The emperor values ​​him extremely. Not only is he highly talented, he is said to be able to manage military affairs. He is called a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. For such a pillar of the country, you actually want to kill him because of your own selfishness. It's really outrageous! Lingxiu, this palace hasn't wronged you, right?"

When Zhuang Xiaoxian heard this, he was shocked. He had never seen the emperor's grandma get angry before! Unexpectedly, the emperor's grandma was so terrible when she got angry. By the way, there was the eldest princess Long Lingxiu. This woman was vengeful and wanted to kill Lord Lu. No wonder her temper was as good as the emperor's grandma couldn't help but scold her.

"Grandmother of the Emperor, listen to me, Lingxiu didn't have that kind of mind at all. The resources in Lingxiu's hands were just in the harem, and Lingxiu tried her best to avoid the quarrels between her brothers.

Lu Zheng is young and has a very talented person, but he offended many people, and he openly does not take the crown prince and the king of Qin seriously. At present, most of the officials of the court submit to the crown prince, the crown prince brother, the emperor's grandmother. In such a situation, what is impossible for someone to do extreme things?" The eldest princess forced her to argue, how could she admit what she did?

Empress Dowager Zhuang is kind by nature and is already kind in charge of the harem. When Long Lingxiu said this, she sighed and said, "Lingxiu, I won't talk about other things, just talk about yourself! Do you still think you are a woman in the youth? You are all mothers!

For so many years, people outside have no choice but to say anything due to your identity, but if you committed an injustice at the beginning, that would be a shame to our royal family, do you know?

Look at your recent actions. You should be an elder in front of Lord Lu Zheng, but do you look like an elder? You are so embarrassing! Your father is very dissatisfied with you. To be honest, it’s because my grandmother is usually too tolerant and indulgent to you!”

Long Lingxiu lowered her head, feeling as uncomfortable as a knife. She could argue many things, but she could not argue about embarrassment. Indeed, her arrogant princess lost her composure in front of the emperor. With His Majesty's keenness, she would definitely be dissatisfied, otherwise the Empress Dowager Gongzhuang would not call her over to scold her.

When Long Lingxiu thought of these things, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. She said a thousand and said ten thousand, everything was thanks to Lu Zheng...

After being scolded, Long Lingxiu was finally able to return to the palace. She retreated from Empress Dowager Zhuang and ran out and ran into Zhuang Xiaoxian head-on. This stupid and stupid boy looked honest and honest. In fact, the spirit between his eyebrows was obviously very high, and he was clearly proud! Long Lingxiu's heart was so angry that she couldn't suppress it. She really had the urge to slap Zhuang Xiaoxian in the face.

"Dian... Your Highness, I... I didn't hear anything, I really didn't hear anything!" Zhuang Xiaoxian stammered, a little nervous, and a little incoherent.

It would be fine if he didn't speak. This explanation made Long Lingxiu even more embarrassed. She really slapped her. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

...

The Lu family villa is now Lu Zheng’s private residence, which is very hidden and private. Because of the careful management of the boy, the house has a good atmosphere.

The Cuju competition was about to come, and Lu Zheng was calm. However, the three women in the family were chattering and talking nonstop. They heard rumors outside and called this Cuju competition a big bet between Lu Zheng and the eldest princess. If Lu Zheng lost the bet, he might face some kind of embarrassment. Anyway, the spread outside was very fierce, so the three girls in the family naturally became involved.

Especially Dai Xiaojing, she knew nothing about Cuju, but recently she has made up for a lot of Cuju knowledge and has become a Cuju expert.

The boy walked to Lu Zheng quietly. Lu Zheng nodded at him and entered the study room. Lu Zheng slowly sat down and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"There is news from Your Majesty that this time he went into seclusion, it is said that His Majesty has refined the Eternal Life Pill. With this pill, His Majesty has achieved great success in practicing Taoism. I am afraid that there will be no more time to refine the alchemy in the future!" said the boy.

"Hmm? Take this news seriously?" Lu Zheng suddenly sat up, very surprised. The news of the boy seemed nothing at first, but it was extraordinary to taste it carefully.

Emperor Xinde has not been very concerned about political affairs for so many years. The ministers and even the people of the Dakang Dynasty have become accustomed to this situation. But if one day, the situation suddenly changes and Emperor Xinde returns? Does this mean that the subjects of the Dakang Dynasty need to adapt again? Is this a blessing or a disaster for Lu Zheng?

Many thoughts happened in Lu Zheng's mind, and he thought of one thing: If this is true, then the people around His Majesty would probably not have much value. It was not that the cunning rabbit died or the lackeys were cooked, but that Lu Zheng, as a modern person, would not believe in the so-called immortality pill at all.

Since there is no immortality pill, what effect can the so-called elixir in Emperor Xinde’s hand have? It seems that after so many years of cultivation, the people who accompanied Emperor Xinde to guide him to practice are probably gone and can’t continue to fool them.

"Young Master, this time the princess's mansion has really moved. The eldest princess was furious in the princess' mansion. It is said that more than a dozen people were killed by the stick. The Cuju players in the Princess' Mansion were like frightened birds. They not only practice Cuju during the day, but also at night. For them, if they lose this Cuju competition, they are afraid that their lives will not be saved!" The boy changed the subject.

He paused and continued, "Young Master, the Cuju hands in the Princess's Mansion are all the best players in Dakang. If these people are relaxed or degenerate, the city defense camp may have a great chance to face them, but now they are all cheering up. With their strength, they will inevitably pose a great threat to the city defense camp. This chance of defeat is really not high. Since this is the case, can the young master consider making plans early?"

"Oh? Boy, I don't have confidence in me in this tone! OK, before you win, I'll be sure to lose first. Tell me how to make plans early? Let me listen to what you mean?" Lu Zheng said lightly.

The boy smiled awkwardly and said, "Young Master, don't blame me for not being optimistic about you. Even the young lady thinks you are dangerous. In addition, the Yinger girl and the little slave girl also think that you are in danger. Speaking of a good idea, the young master can go to Jiyuan at this time, and at the critical moment, Lord Lu can become the Dinghai Shenjian needle!"

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "If you don't go, you won't go anywhere. I'm only going to prepare for the event that will come soon. You, don't believe me, but instead believe Xiaojing and the others. They are women's opinions. Can they be considered true and counted?" Lu Zheng pretended to be angry, but there was a smile on his face.

Does he have confidence in the Cuju competition? Lu Zheng has no confidence? This is like football matches in later generations. Football is round and anything can happen.

However, Lu Zheng was not anxious because it was also a long-lost experience for him. Just like watching the Football World Cup finals in later generations, it was full of challenges and suspense, and full of various uncertainties. This feeling is actually the most exciting. This is the charm of football and the charm of Cuju!
