The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

In the side hall of the Hou Mansion, Xu Yaqin and Sheng Ze gave high-fives and cheered.

Xu Yaqin turned around and found that Mrs. Zhu was not very interested.

Thinking that she was going to show up at tonight's banquet, I felt a little nervous, so I offered some kind words to enlighten her.

"Mrs. Zhu is fine, don't be nervous."

"We are participating in this competition just to have fun, and we don't ask for any ranking. Madam Zhu, just calm down and be normal."

Zhu Huixin suddenly smiled and said a little embarrassedly:
  "Mrs. Xu, since you and the young master have chosen me as your teammate, I have kept in mind the results of your and the young master's training these days."

"Although my pot throwing skills are not very good, Madam and Young Master can rest assured that I will do my best to not disgrace our Qingdu Marquis Mansion."

Except for Xu Yaqin and the others.

Many ladies in this side hall are also ready to make a move.

Making final preparations before the pitching competition begins.

At this time, another servant ran in from outside in a hurry and looked nervous.

His eyes seemed to be looking around.

Until his eyes fell on Xu Yaqin, then he straightened his expression and said:
  "Mrs. Xu, there's something going on at the dinner party. Please come over quickly."

Seeing this person in such a panic, I heard him say something went wrong at the banquet.

It’s not just Xu Yaqin.

The faces of all the ladies present changed, and they couldn't help but focus their attention here.

Xu Yaqin hasn't spoken yet.

Shen Rulan on the side intervened thoughtfully and asked the servant urgingly:
  "You servant, this is a banquet at our Qingdu Marquis' Mansion. If anything can happen, don't talk nonsense."

"Please explain the matter carefully. Besides, if something really goes wrong, what will happen if Mrs. Xu is gone?"

The servant took a breath, paused, looked serious and said:

"Reply to Madam. Princess Xuanqing was dissatisfied with the Second Master participating in the pot throwing competition for our Marquis Mansion, so she asked Madam Xu to go out by name."

"The younger one also got instructions from the two elders and came to ask Mrs. Xu to go out."

"Please Mrs. Xu, please follow me to the main hall quickly. Otherwise, if you contradict Princess Xuan Qing, we in the Marquis Palace may not be able to step down."

"What? Princess Xuanqing specified that Xu Yaqin should go out to compete?"

As soon as the servant said this, all the ladies present started discussing and whispering.

Especially the third lady Shen Rulan.

No, not right.

Now Liu Manwan has been imprisoned in Dali Temple.

The position of the second lady was vacant, and Shen Rulan, the third lady, lived up to her efforts and was promoted.

Now she is the second wife in the Hou family after Xu Yaqin.

When she heard the news, she showed a meaningful smile, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she thought carefully in her heart:
  "Haha, this princess, Xuan Xin, is famous for her unruly temper. It seems that Xu Yaqin must have offended this princess somewhere."

"If you go out now, you will most likely encounter difficulties from our princess. If she makes a big mistake at this banquet, the princess will be displeased."

"When the time comes, the Marquis and the Qingdu Houfu will be implicated, then I don't think her position in the Houfu will be stable?" "God is really helping me. Xu Yaqin, in this situation, I want to see you. How to solve it.”

Thinking of this, Shen Rulan glanced at Xu Yaqin inadvertently, her eyes full of mockery.

Zhu Huixin on the side also saw the secret and reminded Xu Yaqin softly:
  "Mrs. Xu, I'm afraid that the princess is here for you. If you go out, I'm afraid I don't know how this matter will turn out. Madam, you must think twice. You need to be careful in everything."

In fact, she didn't need to remind her. Xu Yaqin knew what Princess Xuanqing's temper was like better than anyone present.

But she really didn't know, how could Princess Xuan Qing know that she was such a big person?

Now that I have made it clear that I have to go out on my own. Of course Xu Yaqin wanted to go out and meet the princess.

Otherwise, she knew that with Sheng Lixuan's temperament, if a conflict arose with the princess, it would not be a good thing for the Hou family.

Xu Yaqin's expression darkened, she stood up slowly, and said to the servant calmly:

"Since the two elders have spoken and Princess Xuanqing is so flattering, I will go with you without further ado."

Although Shengze didn't know what happened, seeing everyone's nervous faces, he had a vague hunch that this incident might not be good news for Xu Yaqin.

He also looked at Xu Yaqin longingly, tugging at her sleeves with his chubby little hands and humming in his mouth.

Although the little guy didn't express his meaning clearly, Xu Yaqin could tell that the young master was worried about him.

She stopped, turned her head and touched the little guy's head, then comforted him and said:
  "Young master, be good. I'll come as soon as I go. You must be obedient and don't lose your temper."

After saying this, Xu Yaqin looked up at Mrs. Zhu sitting next to her, opened her lips lightly, and told her:
  "Mrs. Zhu, please take good care of this little guy during this period. Such a grand event cannot make him lose his temper or cause any jokes."

Mrs. Zhu looked at Xu Yaqin sincerely, nodded and said softly: "Well, Mrs. Xu, you can go with ease, you should be more cautious."

After explaining this, Xu Yaqin followed the servants to the main hall of the Hou Mansion with a calm expression.

In the main hall, Xu Yaqin was seen walking slowly in.

Princess Xuan Qing, who was sitting in a high position, suddenly looked condensed and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

He carefully looked up and down at the lady in front of him, Mrs. Xu, who was well-known in Yandu City.

She and Sheng Lixuan once had a past.

Princess Xuan Qing certainly knew how deep the Qingdu Marquis' feelings were for his first wife.

But even so, Xu Yaqin was one of the many women sent to the Qingdu Marquis Mansion.

Not only did he manage the little overlord Shengze properly, but he also vaguely won Sheng Lixuan's favor.

This seemed unbelievable to Princess Xuanqing, who found this woman very interesting.

After all, she has never done this even as a princess.

The woman in front of him could actually pry into Sheng Lixuan's thoughts.

In addition to curiosity, Princess Xuan Qing's heart was filled with jealousy and resentment.

She looked at the ordinary woman in front of her. Although her appearance was passable, her temperament was not that outstanding.

Princess Xuan Qing slowly asked: "Is this the famous Mrs. Xu?"

Xu Yaqin nodded, bowed respectfully and replied, "That's right, princess."

"Since the princess intends to participate in this pot-throwing competition with me, I have no choice but to show my embarrassment. I also ask the princess and all the adults not to make fun of me."
