The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Before Xu Yaqin could say anything, Shengze kept praising her: "Listen, Yaya's story is really nice."

Xu Yaqin rubbed the young master's chubby face with a doting look on her face.

She turned around and said modestly to Mrs. Zhu:

"How can I tell stories? I just talk randomly."

"I coax this little guy on weekdays, but how can I compare with the storyteller? If you don't mind, just listen by the side."

Xu Yaqin paused and continued talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms last time. This time it was time to get to the scene where the three heroes fought against Lu Bu.

"Let's say that Zhang Fei and Na Lu Bu fought for hundreds of rounds, with neither victory nor defeat. Then Guan Yu joined the battlefield and fought against each other in pairs, but there was no winner."

"Seeing that the two brothers were inferior to Uncle Liu Huang and joined the battlefield again, the three of them were there to make money and fight fiercely with the female Fengxian..."

Mrs. Zhu was stunned for a while after hearing this.

This story is quite novel, different from the scripts widely circulated in Yandu City.

But because she also listened in the middle and didn't understand the previous plot, she was a little ignorant.

But I still think this story is really interesting. Mrs. Xu is really unqualified for not writing storytelling.

The pleasantries in the main hall outside finally came to an end.

Many ladies in the Hou Mansion were talking in this side hall, and a servant from outside ran in in a hurry, and told the ladies with a face full of joy:

"Madam, we're here, we're here! The pot throwing competition is about to begin. Madams, please get ready."

As soon as they heard that the game was about to start, all the ladies stopped making small fuss and straightened their expressions.

Everyone is holding their breath, waiting for the start of the pot throwing competition.

Xu Yaqin kept silent after hearing this.

Shengze clapped excitedly.

During these days, he was focused on learning how to throw pot, and he just wanted to make a splash at this banquet.

Won the prince's love.

Now that he finally had the chance to appear, he, the little general, was certainly more excited than anyone else.

Zhu Huixin is not that concerned about the pot throwing competition.

She looked stunned now, and all she could think about was the excerpts Xu Yaqin had just said.

Thinking back on it, it's still a bit unforgettable.

In the main hall, Sheng Lixuan had downed several glasses of wine. The singer and dancer had already left the stage, and all the adults were enjoying their drinks.

Sheng Lixuan took this opportunity to stand up and propose to everyone:
"Everyone is happy today. I have also prepared many wonderful performances in my palace. I will entertain you all later."

"What the Marquis said is very reasonable. I have long heard that all the ladies in the Marquis's residence are very beautiful. I might as well let the ladies come out and show their faces."

The rich lady of the lord's family who was speaking out was also one of the girls sent to the Qingdu Marquis's residence to celebrate his happiness.

When it comes to their relationship, he and Sheng Lixuan are half in-laws.

The reason why he mentioned this matter was of course that he knew in his heart that his daughter had been busy in the pot throwing competition these days.

Just wanted to be in the limelight.

It's not just him.

Aren’t the many adults who come and go here, including the wealthy ladies in their families, all working as concubines in the Qingdu Hou Mansion?

The first reason they came here today was for Sheng Lixuan's invitation.

Secondly, of course, I came here to add fuel to the flames, wanting to help my daughter stand out and become the mistress of the Qingdu Houfu.

So don't look at the seemingly peaceful atmosphere in the main hall.

In fact, there are already rough waves and undercurrents beneath the surface.

Someone raised his head, and several other adults also echoed, saying loudly: "Yes, throw the pot!"

"The biggest entertainment project in Yandu City is the pot throwing competition. This thing is interesting, so you might as well enjoy it."

"We just happened to have brought some highly skilled pot-throwing masters over. Why don't we use this grand event to compete with the Marquis? What does the Marquis think?"

Sheng Lixuan smiled and replied according to the wishes of the adults:

"Since you adults have this intention, it's just right, then you might as well play hut."

This pot throwing competition was a favorite entertainment method of ancient nobles. If you make a successful throw, you will win, and if you miss, you will lose.

Of course, whoever hits more shots will win.

The losing party has to drink, and the number of drinks is divided into drinks based on the number of times.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Sheng Lixuan looked serious and shouted with an order: "Come! Bring up the throwing pot and arrows."

Princess Xuan Qing, who was sitting in the main seat, was also a pot throwing enthusiast, but she really didn't want to come to the Qingdu Marquis' Mansion today.

If her father and mother hadn't been trying hard to get away, she wouldn't have wanted to meet Sheng Lixuan.

But you can't let this annoying guy ruin your good mood for the day.

As soon as she heard about the pot throwing competition, Princess Xuanqing's mood rose slightly.

Ye Jing noticed the princess's thoughts, stepped forward and asked:
"Your Highness, why are you also interested in this pot throwing competition?"

"You might as well attend, Your Highness. Your Highness, you have a lot of research on this pot throwing. Now, in such a grand event, you should show it to everyone."

As soon as Ye Jing said this.

All the adults in the field stood up, bowed respectfully to Princess Xuanqing, and begged: "What Master Ye said is absolutely true."

"Your Highness's skill in throwing pots has long been known in this capital city. For such a grand event today, I hope that Your Highness the Princess will not hesitate to teach me and give me some tips."

Princess Xuan Qing has been ready to make a move.

Speaking of pot throwing, whenever there is a banquet of any size in her princess's mansion, pot throwing is an indispensable item.

She was already feeling a little itchy, but now that the adults have given her the steps, Princess Xuanqing simply relaxed.

But he still didn't raise his head a little arrogantly, glanced at Sheng Lixuan who was silent there, and confided in a rather critical tone:
"It's not that I want to refute your lords' interest, but Qingduhou hasn't spoken yet. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to participate?"

"Ah, this..."

After hearing these remarks, all the adults turned their attention to Sheng Lixuan.

Both clan elders saw Princess Xuan Qing's intention.

She wanted Sheng Lixuan to speak in person before she would allow it.

The two clan elders came closer in a low voice and reminded their Marquis:
"Master Marquis, please speak quickly. Her Royal Highness the Princess has already spoken. Master Marquis, please stop standing here."

Another clan elder looked a little anxious and said quickly:

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

"I think the Marquis must know what the princess is doing. It's better to give in, otherwise you won't be able to stand up here. It will be of no benefit to our Qingdu Marquis Mansion."

The two old men were chattering to the left and right of Sheng Lixuan.

Sheng Lixuan was a little tired of hearing this, and he calmed down his anger.

But he also understands the priorities of things.

After only a moment of silence, he reluctantly showed a smile and asked Princess Xuanqing:

"Your Highness, your lords are right."

"If Your Highness can show off your skills at such a grand event, I will be considered lucky. I wonder if Your Highness can give me a favor?"
