Mu Shun reported one by one.
Except for Lao Ba, the number of prey caught by everyone else was more than ten.
Yun Li was even more proud than everyone else with the number of eighteen prey he had caught.
However, Lao Ba also got nine prey.
According to Emperor Wen's previous request, the number of prey for the eighth and ninth brothers was doubled.
By this calculation, Yun Li and Lao Ba are basically tied...
"Well, not bad, very good!"
Emperor Wen slowly stood up, his eyes fell on the bear hunted by Yun Li, and he immediately said to Lao Ba: "Lao Ba, although you and your third brother tied, your third brother hunted a bear! I count your third brother as the winner, do you have any objection?"
"I dare not."
Although the Eighth Prince was not convinced, he could only keep it to himself.
...
...
"Your Majesty."
At this time, Concubine Liang suddenly said in a delicate voice: "Although the third child hunted a bear, the eighth child is only thirteen years old! It is also rare for him to hunt nine prey."
Upon hearing what Concubine Liang said, Concubine Shu immediately refused to accept it.
"Sister, you can't say that."
Concubine Shu said with a fake smile: "Old Eight is indeed the youngest, but the emperor has specially granted him and Old Nine double the prey. They have already taken advantage, so they can't use their young age as an excuse!"
Concubine Liang was slightly choked and suddenly speechless.
"right!"
Emperor Wen also nodded slightly: "What Concubine Shu said makes sense."
After hearing what Emperor Wen said, Concubine Liang did not dare to say anything more even if she was dissatisfied.
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li silently, then asked loudly: "Before I announce the result, does anyone have anything to say?"
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, everyone couldn't help but feel secretly puzzled.
What does Emperor Wen mean by this?
Isn’t the result obvious?
Also asked if anyone had anything to say?
However, Yun Zheng knew it very well at this moment.
Emperor Wen is asking about these people's guards!
Let’s see if anyone comes forward to report these princes for cheating!
However, Emperor Wen looked around at everyone, but no one stepped forward.
"Father, I have something to say!"
At this time, Yun Li suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Emperor Wen's eyes flashed with doubt, "What do you have to say? Do you still want to be humble to your eighth brother?"
Yun Li was slightly stunned, then immediately bowed and said, "Although I want to give way to my eighth brother, since this is a competition, I don't want to lose."
"Then what do you want to say?" Emperor Wen asked.
Yun Li raised the corner of his mouth and turned to look at Yun Zheng, "This son ran into Sixth Brother and his friends when he was returning from hunting. This son and Sixth Brother made a bet. This son would like to ask Father to be a witness, in case Sixth Brother refuses to admit defeat!"
“Ahem…”
Hearing Yun Li's words, Yun Zheng quickly turned his head and coughed hard to hide his almost uncontrollable smile.
Damn it!
You idiot, you want to make me laugh to death!
He hasn't even mentioned this yet, but he wants to say it!
He was afraid that he hadn't been beaten enough!
As Yun Zheng coughed violently, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Zheng.
Shen Luoyan was so angry that he almost kicked him.
What’s the use of coughing?
I have no future and I like to gamble. Now Yun Li has said it in public, so I can’t deny it even if I want to!
"Sixth Brother!"
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng sharply, "Is this true?"
Yun Zheng tried hard to hold back his laughter and pinched himself hard, then he put on a dejected look and nodded in acknowledgment.
"How do you bet?"
Emperor Wen asked Yun Li again.
Yun Li immediately told them their bet.
Emperor Wen's face suddenly fell, and he asked sternly: "Sixth Brother, are you jealous of your third brother?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "I dare not be jealous of my third brother."
"Then why did you gamble with your third brother?" Emperor Wen asked.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and replied hesitantly: "Your son... Your son just doesn't want to see Third Brother win..."
"It seems that you have a lot of complaints about your third brother!"
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes and stared at Yun Zheng with a bad look.
“No, no…”
Yun Zheng waved his hands vigorously, "I don't have a problem with Third Brother, but he mocked me for not being able to catch any prey, so I felt a little aggrieved, so..."
“Nonsense!”
Yun Li immediately refuted, "When did I mock you? I was kind enough to give you two prey, but you didn't appreciate it! Lao Liu, I know you hold a grudge against me because of the assassination you suffered last time, but I swear to God that your assassination had absolutely nothing to do with me!"
Yun Li cursed in his heart as he spoke.
This bastard still wants to say that he is wrong in front of the emperor?
Do you really think that he can turn things around just because he's been favored recently?
Trash will always be trash!
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng with a dark face, "I have already said that the people who assassinated you were from Beihuan! Do you still suspect that it was your third brother who sent someone to do it?"
"I dare not."
Yun Zheng bowed and acted submissive.
"It'd be great!"
Emperor Wen gave Yun Zheng a warning look and asked, "Besides the bet, do you have anything else to say?"
Yun Zheng understood that Emperor Wen wanted him to tell him about the prey that had been shot in advance.
But he wouldn't be that stupid!
The purpose was to make Emperor Wen think that he was timid and did not dare to say these things.
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and lowered his head in silence.
"I'll deal with you later!"
Emperor Wen became even more angry when he didn't get the answer he wanted.
Emperor Wen took a few deep breaths, suppressed the urge to explode, and said loudly: "Since everyone has no objection, then I declare that the winner of today's hunting is the third prince Yun Li!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Li suppressed his excitement.
Emperor Wen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he immediately asked Mu Shun to pick up the long box. "I said that this treasure belongs to the winner today! Third brother, come forward to receive the reward!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Li thanked him again, walked forward amid the envious and jealous gazes of the princes, took the box from Mu Shun, and held it respectfully in his hands.
Seeing that Yun Li had no intention of opening the box, Emperor Wen took the initiative to remind him: "Why don't you take a look at what the treasure is in the box? If you are not satisfied with the gift in the box, I can change it for you."
"I won't change!"
Yun Li quickly shook his head and said righteously: "No matter what the reward from my father is, it is a treasure in my eyes!"
Look, how nice this sounds!
This flattery is almost to the sky.
"I am so relieved that you can say that!"
Emperor Wen seemed very satisfied with Yun Li's answer. He nodded and said to Yun Li, "Show your brothers the treasures in the box! Let them open their eyes!"
"yes!"
Yun Li obeyed the order, suppressed his excitement, and slowly opened the box.
He seemed to have foreseen the envious and jealous looks these brothers were casting at him.
However, the moment the box was opened, Yun Li's eyes widened and the smile on his face suddenly froze...
