Chapter 57 Compete!
"Not really." Feng Yici didn't know how to solve this matter, so he could only take one step at a time. Now that medicinal materials are in short supply, even if they spend a lot of money, they may not be able to buy them.

"Go to the black market to buy, there are many medicine shops there." There are many valuable medicinal materials in Miaochun Pavilion, all of which are bought from the black market by Nanyi. Most of the shops inside are purchased from the Western Regions, which is very novel.

Just too expensive.

"Okay." Feng Yi Ci agreed, and I don't know if there is any in the black market, so I can only go there to try my luck tonight.

After breakfast, Feng Yici and Nan Yi went to the outskirts, the place was a bit remote, there were many imperial guards guarding the periphery, and there were quite a few people who came, Nan Yi and Feng Yici got off the carriage and walked inside go.

Many officials also brought their female relatives, and the atmosphere was very lively. His Majesty came over after all the people arrived. Everyone knelt on the ground and said:

"Meet Your Majesty—"

"Get up! Let's have fun today, everyone can be more casual." His Majesty sat on the highest seat and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty—"

The first Cuju competition is about to start, and the players are all the daughters and sons of officials and eunuchs. Following the order of the judge, everyone started to move out, causing a lot of dust.

"General Nan, can you compete with me in cuju today?" Xu Jingsheng came up and said, he lost to Nanyi in the spring hunting last time, and wanted to save some face in this cuju.

Although she can't compete with her in force, but Cuju can definitely surpass her!

"Why do you want to compete in everything? Spring hunting is nothing more than that. Cuju is for fun. What is there to compete in?"

"You have nothing to do, are you afraid of losing to me? Don't dare to compete?" Xu Jingtang just wanted to win her once, and he must seize any opportunity.

Nan Yi was a little speechless, and didn't want to pay attention to him, so she focused on the cuju competition. Fu Min snorted softly, and said in a disdainful tone:

"No matter what the competition is, you can't beat General Nan."

Cuju played a lot when he was in the frontier. It can be said that Nanyi has been playing since he was a child. Xu Jingtang will undoubtedly lose. There is no comparison. Why let him be ashamed in front of many civil and military officials?

"There's no competition yet, how do you know I can't beat General Nan?" Xu Jingtang said with confidence in his eyes.

Fu Min didn't speak anymore, but shook his head helplessly, why did he not listen to persuasion?If he loses this time, he will lose not only the face of his third prince, but also the face of Lin'an. I'm afraid he doesn't want to go back to Lin'an, right? !

"If I still can't beat you in Cuju, I'll do as you please!" Xu Jingtang said firmly, he had to compete with Nan Yi today.

You must win Nanyi once!
"Compare! You really don't cry when you see the coffin." Nan Yi agreed, and he was afraid that he would lose all face and confidence this time.

After the first cuju competition ended, Xu Jingtang and Nan Yi joined the team. The two stood on opposite sides. Their joining made the competition more lively. Many cheers were shouting the name of General Nan.

Feng Yici sat on a high place and looked at her. After a while, she competed with Xu Jingtang, and the judge announced the start of the competition.

Nan Yi took the lead in kicking Cuju. Under Xu Jingtang's pursuit, she played fancy balls and kicked the ball in without letting the ball land. Such a powerful operation attracted many people to help her.

In the first game, Xu Jingtang failed to score a goal, and the loss was extremely tragic.

In the second round, in order to get him back some face, Nan Yi let him go and teased him a lot in the arena, and finally lost to him.

In the third game, a crucial game, Xu Jingtang showed his own strength. Even if it was a tie, he could feel that in the last two games, Nan Yi kept giving way to him, in order not to let himself lose badly. .

At the end of the competition, the judge declared a tie. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nan Yi had been giving way to Xu Jingtang, otherwise she would have won!
"Third Prince, you still can't do it." Nan Yi shouted loudly in the arena, Xu Jingtang didn't expect her to be so powerful, and she was willing to lose this time, but it was a little embarrassing.

"General Nan!"

"General Nan! General Nan!" Nan Yi's name continued to be shouted outside the arena. She walked out quickly from the arena, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her messy hair was tightly attached to it. She walked to the wind Sitting next to Yi Ci, he directly drank the water in his glass and poured another glass.

It wasn't until the third cuju competition started that Nan Yi's name was not called outside the court. Feng Yi Ci wiped Nan Yi's sweat with his sleeves.

"It's so hot!" Nan Yi said, she was still panting heavily, her face was also red, very cute.

"Why did you let him?" Fu Min asked in bewilderment, he was supposed to win in three rounds, but he chose to be patient in the last two rounds.

"We can't let him really lose face in front of civil and military officials. Will he return to Lin'an?" Nan Yi said, drinking the water in the glass, and Feng Yici gave him another glass .

"General, why do you need to care about this? Since he is overconfident, you should subdue him!" Fu Min interjected, he watched anxiously from the sidelines, and every time Nan Yi gave in, he was very discouraged.

Nan Yi laughed lightly, keeping things on the line, so that we can see each other in the future, and now he is still using his identity as the third prince of Lin'an to deliver life-saving medicinal materials, how can he embarrass him like this?

"General Fu, he is also the prince of Lin'an, so he can't lose too badly." Feng Yici said, if he lost too badly in the Cuju competition for fun, if it was heard by the emperor of Lin'an, it seemed that Nan Yi was bullying him.

Always save some face.

"Yes, Your Highness." Fu Min did not dare to follow suit and change his words to take the blame, so he agreed.

Nan Yi drank all the water in the cup, picked a piece of pastry and ate it. His Majesty sat aside and looked very happy. He suddenly asked:
"Princess, what do you think of Zhou Shangshu?"

"Zhou Shangshu...very good." Nan Yi put down the pastry in her hand, hesitated for a moment and said, and then she realized that there might be some deep meaning behind this Cuju.

"Compared to Nan Shangshu?"

Nan Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and she could hear the meaning of His Majesty's words, but she didn't know how to answer. Zhou Yiwen did have something to admire, but compared to his father, he was naturally not as good as him, but facing His Majesty's question, if he said that he was not as good as , it will make him unhappy.

"Then who does the emperor value more?" Nan Yi asked back, since she couldn't answer no matter what, then leave this matter to His Majesty to answer, so as to know what he thinks in his heart.

"Both Nan Shangshu and Zhou Shangshu are loyal to me. I value them both, but I don't know whose ability is more outstanding. I want you to analyze it for me so that I can make up my mind."

"Why do you need the Crown Princess to intervene in Father's decision? She has just returned to Beijing not long ago, and she doesn't understand the affairs of the previous court. With her current status, it is even more difficult to listen to the government in the previous court. Everything is decided by the Royal Father. "Feng Yici rescued Nan Yi.
