I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 1076 - Chapter 1076 Shock

Chapter 1076: Shock Chapter 1076: Shock Editor: Atlas Studios The teen category’s hunting competition ended at 5:00 pm.

When the ministers arrived at the edge of the forest one after another to wait for the participants to return, they suddenly realized that there were red silk cloths hanging at the edge of the forest.

Upon the banners, the names of various participants were written, together with catchy slogans like ‘sure-win’ and ‘definite champion’.

The ministers could not help but widen their eyes.

Who did this?

How shameless!

To think someone wanted to use such a method to affect the contestants’ emotions!

Everyone went to look for the fathers or grandfathers whose kid’s name was written on the banners.

However, those ministers were also very confused and even felt a little embarrassed.

But when they saw that there were also other names written on the banners, they felt vaguely proud.

Although they didn’t know who did it, they were still very happy that their son or grandson was valued so much.

Therefore, after feeling at a loss and ashamed, the expressions of the parents of kids whose names were on the banners gradually became serious.

They looked back at the questioning gazes righteously.

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin heaved a sigh of relief.

The banners that Little An and the others made were not very obvious among the many banners.

Little An and Qi Wensu couldn’t help but feel dejected when they saw this.

They thought that they were already very fast, but they didn’t expect that someone would still be ahead of them.

When they came out, many banners had already been hung up.

The Second Prince looked at Little Treasure reproachfully.

“Brother Crown Prince, you said that people here don’t make banners, but they’re even quicker to act than us!

You led us to think that we’re the only ones making the banner, so we took our own sweet time.

Look how far behind we are now.” Little Treasure closed his mouth and apologized to his brother sincerely.

“It’s my fault.

I didn’t expect people to do thataEUR|” This was a great idea.

Indeed, no one was paying attention to them now.

Before the Emperor arrived, the scene was a little chaotic.

The civil servants, who had always prided themselves on their good upbringing, went to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to ask if they’d arranged this.

Since they had already arranged for the banners, why only half of the names were written on the banners?

Some officials whose son’s name wasn’t on the banners also questioned why they were excluded.

Was it because their son was deemed inferior?

Half of the participants had banners set up to encourage them, yet their son wasn’t included?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites felt bitterness on the tip of their tongues.

They really didn’t know about this.

After lunch, they went to rest.

They originally wanted to come and decorate the venue, but Prince Rong said that he would make the arrangements here and only let them handle the celebratory banquet at night.

Because when the trusted Prince Rong said this, the Emperor, Eunuch Wan, the commander of the Forbidden Troops were all present, they thought that this was the Emperor’s order and agreed without thinking.

But now that he thought about it, why would the Emperor do such a thing?

The official from the Ministry of Rites stole a glance in Prince Rong’s direction.

He would never believe that this was the Emperor’s idea.

If it was really the Emperor’s order, then it should be carried out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Why would he let Prince Rong do it for them?

Wasn’t this embarrassing Prince Rong?

The official from the Ministry of Rites looked back and forth between the banners.

Then, he sharply saw the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, the son of the Duke of Peaceful State, under the banners.

After which, his gaze followed their hands upwards.

The slightly immature but vigorous handwriting on the banners entered their eyes.

Then, they compared it with the handwriting on the other banners.

Suddenly, everything was clear.

It turned out that the adults were cleaning up the kids’ mess.

Even so, they couldn’t let the Ministry of Rites take the blame!

Furious at the realization, the Ministry of Rites official’s footing became a little unstable.

Coupled with the fact that he was being surrounded by the civil servants, he was pulled to the left and right and almost fell to the ground.

It was a general who came to join in the fun who reached out to support him.

Otherwise, he would surely have fallen to the ground.

As a fourth-grade official of the Ministry of Rites, he puffed up his cheeks and held the civil officials who were besieging him to look in Prince Rong’s direction.

He hinted, “I really didn’t know about this.

The venue was decorated by Prince Rong.

I and my colleagues from the Ministry of Rites were elsewhere making arrangements for the celebratory feast tonightaEUR|” The official from the Ministry of Rites continued to hint, “However, looking at the words on the silk cloth, the handwriting is bold, powerful, smooth, and elegant, clearly showing the bearing of a great person.

At a glance, it’s obvious that it’s not the handwriting of an ordinary person.

Lords, you’re experienced and knowledgeable.

Perhaps you can recognize who wrote them?” Everyone turned to look at the words on the silk cloth.

An official from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs said softly, “That seems to be the Duke of Peaceful State’s handwriting.” Some officials from the Ministry of War and Imperial Censorate thought to themselves, “Isn’t that Prince Rong’s handwriting?” Hence, everyone locked their gazes on Prince Rong and the Duke of Peaceful State.

Having found the culprit, the venue gradually quietened down.

The Emperor, who was in the tent, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the report.

He then held Princess Mingzhu’s hand and smiled at the Empress.

“Let’s go too.” The Empress smiled and nodded.

She could not help but heave a sigh of relief as well.

This time, the Emperor and the Empress arrived 15 minutes later than expected, but no one noticed this.

Hearing about something was one thing, but really seeing it was another.

Seeing many red silk banners hanging at the entrance of the forest made it look as if it was going to be the new year.

The Emperor praised the Minister of Rites in a subtle mood.

“Not bad.

The venue is quite well decorated.” The Minister of Rites opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say that Prince Rong and the Duke of Peaceful State had arranged this.

Regardless of whether this was a good thing or not, he was definitely going to be the one to take responsibility.

At least this was a compliment, right?

The officials below looked at each other.

Some of the officials who couldn’t stand it wanted to go forward and impeach them, but even if their son’s name wasn’t on the banner, the names of their colleague’s sons were on the banner.

This made it hard for them to criticize it.

While those officials were hesitating, the tactful officials who wanted to curry favor with the Emperor and Prince Rong had already stepped forward and praised this arrangement after hearing what the Emperor said.

The generals were also very forthright.

Compared to the civil servants, they were more accepting of the banners.

This was because military competitions were often like this; the person who was cheered for loudly would have his aura boosted.

They were not like the whiny civil servants who hypocritically put on a humble act even after winning.

Therefore, they also stepped forward and laughed loudly as they praised this setup.

Hence, the officials who had wanted to impeach couldn’t stand forward anymore.

They could only look at each other, shake their heads, take a small step back, and let this matter go.

After looking left and right, the Emperor satisfiedly turned to the Minister of Rites and said, “It’s already 5:00 pm.

Let’s set off fireworks and declare the end of the competition.” The Minister of Rites stood up and bowed in acknowledgment.

With a wave of his hand, the Ministry of Rites officials and the imperial guards lit up the fireworks together.

The guards who followed the contestants would stop them from hunting anymore and bring them out; the imperial guards and standard guards would drag out the prey in the forest.

As everyone used different arrows, it was obvious whose prey it was just by looking at the arrows.

Although the possibility of cheating existed, the probability of this happening was greatly reduced under the surveillance of the guards.

After the fireworks sounded, the contestants closest to the forest exited one after another.

When they reached the edge of the forest and saw the red silk banners hanging at the exit, the contestants almost fell off their horses.

Even the guards behind widened their eyes and almost fell off their horses.
