The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

This is what Princess Xuan Qing is waiting for.

Seeing this annoying Sheng Lixuan finally gave in.

Her mood gradually became lighter, and then she said softly:
  "Well, the Marquis actually said that. Then of course I have to show off my skills. After all, today is a grand event for the Qingdu Marquis Mansion. How can I not allow it when the Marquis opens his mouth?"

"Your Highness is wise!" All the ministers shouted loudly.

In the side hall on the side, another servant from the Hou Mansion came to report.

He looked at the ladies and said nervously:
  "Madams, sir... Her Royal Highness the Princess is also participating in this pot throwing competition. Madams, please be careful and don't collide with Her Royal Highness."

The ladies all talked a lot when they heard about this sudden change.

But overall the response was not very strong.

Because Princess Xuanqing participated in the individual competition, and they participated in the team competition, there was no conflict between the two.

There is no place to offend the princess.

Xu Yaqin's expression moved slightly when she heard that Princess Xuanqing came to the Hou Mansion for a dinner party.

The character of Princess Xuan Qing is interesting to talk about.

Xu Yaqin remembered that in the original novel, this princess was a controversial figure, and fans had mixed reviews of her.

This Princess Xuan Qing has a connection with Sheng Lixuan.

Ever since the death of Sheng Lixuan's first wife, Princess Xuanqing had been in love with Sheng Lixuan for a long time.

He has been pestering Marquis Qingdu for a long time.

I have tried all kinds of methods, and even cried, made trouble, and hanged myself three times, begging His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress for their decree.

Determined to recruit Sheng Lixuan as his consort.

But fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is quite open-minded and did not satisfy such an unreasonable request of his precious daughter.

Princess Xuan Qing came up with an idea from nowhere, and one day she pretended to convey His Majesty's will.

He ordered Sheng Lixuan to be deceived into a side hall in the palace.

I gave him some aphrodisiacs, trying to make a meal out of raw rice.

In this way, the Qingdu Marquis will be firmly tied to his side.

But the plan failed and was discovered by Sheng Lixuan.

Because of this incident, Princess Xuanqing was ignored by His Majesty the Emperor for a while.

This infatuated princess would go so far for Sheng Lixuan, and everyone else would find it ridiculous.

Princess Xuanqing's courtship failed, and her love gave rise to hatred.

Seeing that Sheng Lixuan refused to give in, and she did this for him, since he still treated her like this.

Unable to help but feel resentment towards Sheng Lizuan.

Sheng Lixuan originally respected Princess Xuanqing very much, but after this incident, he also avoided the princess and had many complaints in his heart.

But this is a scandal like the royal palace after all.

Therefore, except for some officials who knew about it that year.

Few people in Yandu City know about it.

But as a chosen one who has read the script, Xu Yaqin understands these things very well.

Although she was not in the main hall, she could only imagine how awkward the atmosphere was when Sheng Lixuan met Princess Xuan Qing.

In the main hall, throwing pots and arrows are fully prepared.

In this personal competition, all the adults at the banquet also looked for good pot throwing players, and each sent one to participate in the competition.

Sheng Yue had been practicing with Lu Jingming for so many days and was waiting for this moment.

He recommended himself and said to Sheng Lizuan: "Brother, let me go for you. I am very good at throwing pots."

When Sheng Lixuan heard that Sheng Yue had this idea, his expression became ugly.

He had an idea of ​​what level his younger brother was.

Let this guy go out and throw the pot for you. He must empty the wine jar tonight.

But Sheng Lixuan didn't want to play by himself.

After all, Princess Xuanqing was also participating in the competition, and he didn't want to have any interactions with this unruly woman.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"Forget it, since you have that intention, then go ahead, but remember, you must pay attention and don't throw it wrongly."

When Sheng Lixuan said this, he deliberately emphasized his tone.

I just want Sheng Yue to make a few occasional shots so that he doesn't drink too much.

Sheng Yue patted his chest and said confidently:

"Brother, don't worry. I have been practicing my pot throwing skills diligently these days, and I have improved a lot. I will definitely make our Hou family look good."

The two clan elders stood behind him, both showing expressions of dumbfounding.

For this second master, his throwing skills are terrible...

Not to mention being in the Qingdu Marquis Mansion, it is also on the list in Yandu City.

Sheng Yue had finished warming up and was about to go out. As soon as he stood up, Princess Xuan Qing suddenly interrupted:
  "Why, the Marquis of Qingdu really plans to let Mr. Sheng represent the Marquis in this pot throwing competition?"

Although Sheng Lixuan didn't want to talk to the princess, he could only bite the bullet and squeeze out a few words through his teeth:
  "May I ask, Your Highness, is there anything wrong with this?"

Princess Xuanqing did not hide her pinching and said bluntly:
  "There is no need to give in, Marquis Qingdu. This princess is very confident in her own pot-throwing skills. Everyone knows how good Master Sheng is at the pot-throwing game."

"You, the Marquis of Qingdu, sent him to the scene. Are you looking down on this princess?"

After hearing these words, Sheng Yue's expression changed slightly.

Although this was widely spread inside and outside Yandu City, he never admitted that his pot throwing skills were poor.

But now Her Royal Highness the Princess is saying so.

Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only hold it in.

He turned his head and looked towards Sheng Lixuan.

Seeing such a big hat being pulled down, the two clan elders suddenly panicked.

How could Princess Xuan Qing be attending the banquet? She was obviously here to seek revenge!
  The two clan elders quickly answered with fear and fear, and said:
  "Your Highness must have misunderstood. The Marquis has just recovered from a serious injury and has many physical inconveniences. He really has no intention of participating in this pot throwing competition, so I asked the Second Master to play in his place. Your Highness, please be careful."

Is it their turn to talk about these things?
  Princess Xuanqing knows it better than anyone else.

The reason why she said this must be that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.

An elusive smile appeared on Princess Xuan Qing's lips.

"That's all, but compared to him, I think it's okay."

"but……"

She changed the topic and continued: "I came to hear that there is a very strange Mrs. Xu in the Hou Mansion."

"Even the case in the Hou Mansion not long ago was solved thanks to the help of Mrs. Xu."

"My husband is in the palace. He always praises Mrs. Xu every time he mentions her. I am also quite curious. I might as well invite the Marquis of Qingdu to come out and meet me."

"What do you think of Marquis Qingdu asking her to represent her in the competition?"

Sheng Lixuan's expression condensed.

He knew that this princess must have come with bad intentions, and it turned out that she came for Mrs. Xu.

The two clan elders originally thought that Her Highness the Princess would be blamed for this, but seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, they immediately replied loudly:

"As His Highness said, if anyone comes, please quickly invite Mrs. Xu."

Sheng Yue, who had just walked out a few steps, was left hanging there, feeling quite depressed.

He had carefully prepared for this pot throwing competition for a long time.

In the end, the end came, and I was not even qualified to play in the game...

He doubted himself without thinking: "Is my throwing level really that bad?"
