Chapter 73 Cockfighting



"Your Majesty, this servant sees His Highness the Crown Prince and the First Prince together, together."

The person who answered stammered, and Mingxiu grew impatient: 'Say it, what are you doing all gathered together?'

What can someone so young do?

"They gathered together to fight cocks."

Mingxiu's eyes widened, her lips twitching slightly: "Fighting cocks"

The servants who answered "yes" bowed even lower.

"Alright, you can go now," Mingxiu waved her hand, dismissing the servants.

She thought it was something serious. "You just do cockfighting? It's nothing serious for kids to play around with."

"Cockfighting!"

"Quickly, Green Bamboo, ask the person who just left if the Crown Prince and the First Prince used real chickens for their cockfighting or something else. Go quickly." Mingxiu was quite curious.

Having received the instructions, Green Bamboo hurriedly went out.

The person hadn't gone far when they returned shortly afterward.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a rooster."

“Really chicken,” Mingxiu murmured.

She'd never seen real cockfighting before; she'd only ever played with two or a few people, each with one leg crossed, bumping into each other to see who fell down first.

Thinking of this, Mingxiu couldn't sit still any longer: "Let's go watch the cockfighting."

Green Bamboo was somewhat surprised: "Ah, Your Highness, isn't that inappropriate? If the Emperor finds out, he might reprimand you."

Green Bamboo was speechless. The palace was very particular about rules. Shouldn't she have advised His Highness the Crown Prince not to play at a time like this? Why was her own empress so interested and seemed to want her to participate?

"It's nothing, it's nothing. We're just going to take a look. If the Emperor says anything, we'll just say I was bored and wanted to go for a stroll, and then I bumped into him by chance." Mingxiu waved her hand, completely unconcerned.

This is not a big deal.

After saying that, she got up and walked outside. Green Bamboo had no choice but to hurry up and follow her.

In a small corner of the Imperial Garden.

Mingxiu looked at the people who had circled around in front of her, and quietly walked over. She saw that Yinreng and Yinti were shouting loudly at the very innermost part of the encirclement.

"Big Black, hurry up, come on, bite him!" That was Yinti's voice.

"Peppa, go over there, run fast, come on!" That was Yinreng's voice.

Mingxiu's lips twitched, and she covered her face, looking utterly ashamed. Others might not know, but she knew perfectly well.

Seriously, I'm speechless. What is this system showing him every day? How does it even know about Peppa Pig?

Furthermore, you silly boy, what's the meaning of naming a rooster after a pig?

Upon closer inspection of the chicken inside, Mingxiu was even more speechless. This was a big black rooster! What a naming genius! At least Peppa Pig is a pink little pig.

Mingxiu thought to herself, but then her eyes were drawn to the scene before her.

Yinreng's Peppa Pig is a large brown-black rooster that is currently running wildly inside the fence, hiding and dodging, being chased terribly by Yinti's large black rooster.

Of course, Mingxiu was speechless at Yinti's naming method. He could only sigh that they were indeed brothers. Yinti was clearly a yellow spotted chicken, so why was he named Dahei (Big Black)?

And it's not big at all; it looks smaller than Yinreng's chicken.

But this little chick was really fierce, chasing Yinreng's Peppa Pig away repeatedly, while Yinti was shouting loudly beside him.

"Good, as expected of my chicken, you are really good. Big Black, as long as you win, I will appoint you as the third Baturu of the Qing Dynasty today."

Mingxiu was speechless. If he was ranked third among the Baturu, then who were the first and second? It was a bit insulting to be ranked ahead of him.

The two were so focused on the chicken in front of them that they didn't notice Mingxiu standing next to them. The people around them did see her, but dared not make a sound.

So Mingxiu stood happily behind and watched, making comments as she watched.

Just then, seeing that Yinreng's chicken was about to be caught by Yinti's big black dog, Ming Xiucai excitedly shouted, "Peppa Pig, come on, hurry up!"

Mingxiu had already enjoyed watching and was completely unaware that she had made a sound.

The two brothers who were intently watching the final result were startled. Yinreng's legs went weak for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Mingxiu standing behind them, looking excited.

Yinti, who was beside him, did the same thing.

"Ming's mother," Yinreng said weakly, sounding somewhat guilty.

Yinti was also standing nearby, but dared not speak.

Mingxiu then realized she had lied, coughed awkwardly twice, and was about to speak when she saw what was in front of her.

"Look, look! Peppa Pig has escaped!"

Mingxiu's excited voice made Yinreng and Yinti turn around to look.

Sure enough, Peppa pounced and flew right over Big Black's head, while Big Black was caught off guard and crashed into the fence.

Now the two of them couldn't care less about Mingxiu being there. They hadn't expected that Peiqi would know how to use tactics at such a young age. Yinreng smiled happily, while Yinti kept a serious face. The two of them started cheering for their chickens.

Since they had already been discovered, Mingxiu stood boldly between the two of them and cheered for Dahei when she saw that he was about to win.

When I see Peppa is about to win, I cheer for her.

Seeing his excited expression, his two brothers beside him kept glancing at Mingxiu, their expressions quite speechless.

Yinreng was a bit better, since he had been in contact with Mingxiu a lot and knew her unreliable nature very well. But Yinti was different. First, he didn't go often, and when he did, he mostly played with Yinreng in the toy room. Second, Mingxiu was usually very proper in front of outsiders.

I got too excited this time and accidentally ruined my image.

When Kangxi arrived, he saw the three people in front of him making excited noises.

The servants around him were so frightened by the arrival of Kangxi that they knelt down, making the three figures stand out.

He stared at the person in front of him with a dark expression. The emperor knew everything that happened in the palace, not to mention his two sons, who would be informed of anything.

Today, Liang Jiugong said that the Crown Prince and the First Prince were playing cockfighting in the Imperial Garden. It wasn't a big deal, and the Emperor didn't intend to pursue the matter.

The two children usually did very well in their studies, and it was okay for them to play occasionally, as long as they didn't become addicted to play and lose their ambition. So he originally planned to turn a blind eye to it.

Then I heard someone below say that Xiu also went over.

Kangxi came over out of curiosity, thinking that Mingxiu would scold the two of them, but who knew that this person was having more fun than his two children.

Seeing Mingxiu's happy expression, Kangxi's face darkened.

If the emperor is unhappy, then naturally no one else can be happy either.

In the end, neither Paige nor Dahei knew who won, because the game didn't continue.

Emperor Kangxi, his face dark with anger, decided to take the three of them to the Qianqing Palace.

Inside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi sat there with a dark expression, looking down at the three people below who looked like quails.

Below, Mingxiu and the other two stood there hesitantly.

The three of them nudged each other, but no one dared to speak.
