After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 225 It wouldn’t be a pity to destroy him
In the past, she always wanted to be in the limelight and let everyone know about her, but now that the opportunity was presented to her, she no longer had that thought, and instead hesitated to move forward.

What's more, those present here are all important figures in the court. Not only the emperor and the queen mother are watching, but also foreign envoys.

But the Queen Mother had already spoken, and she couldn't help but flinch.

Just when she was at a loss, Qiao Jingjing suddenly came close to her ear and whispered: "Shuangshuang, don't be nervous."

"But I don't know what to perform." Lu Shuangshuang was very embarrassed.

Qiao Jingjing thought for a while and said softly: "You can perform pot throwing."

Pot throwing is a common entertainment at banquets.

At least compared to the various talents performed by the noble ladies in front, pot throwing can be considered quite satisfactory.

Lu Shuangshuang's performance this time does not need to be outstanding, as long as he does not make mistakes.

She feels that throwing pot is very suitable, it is not easy to make mistakes, and it does not require much thinking.

Soon, the palace people prepared the things needed for throwing pots.

She had ten arrows in her hand, and eight of them went in.

She nodded, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, both of us are not very talented and don't have much talent. I would like to perform a hut to entertain everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She stammered a salute and then withdrew.

The emperor had never praised them for their hard-working performance just now.

She just wanted to make no mistakes, and never thought of using fancy gestures to attract attention.

Nothing compares to the talent they displayed.

Because the emperor had spoken, the people below all clapped, no matter what they were thinking.

But she didn't know that just because of the emperor's compliment, all the ladies in the room felt sour in their hearts.

She didn't do anything, just raised her arm and threw.

But at this moment, Chu Ye, who was sitting on the high seat, suddenly praised, "Miss Lu's pot throwing skills are good."

Lu Shuangshuang took a deep breath and walked to the field.

The Queen Mother did not embarrass her. After all, the little girl came from the countryside. She was definitely not like the noble girls who grew up in the capital. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She ordered with a smile: "Come here, prepare the tools for throwing pots for Miss Shuangshuang." ”

As if she was on a mission, after finishing her vote, she was ready to leave.

For a moment, there was thunderous applause.

But her movements were so natural that they looked graceful, and she was so accurate that she actually won a lot of applause.

Lu Shuangshuang suddenly became less nervous.

After picking up the arrows from the pot, she took a few steps back, and then dropped the arrows into the pot one by one.

"Come on." Qiao Jingjing encouraged.

Lu Shuangshuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly had an idea, "Well, then I'll perform pot throwing."

Lu Shuangshuang heard this, her cheeks turned red.

How come it was Lu Shuangshuang's turn to throw the pot, and the emperor opened the golden mouth?
For a moment, those ladies were very unconvinced.

Qin Yue'er kept saying that she disdained being a concubine, but when she heard that someone was praised by the emperor, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw that the person being praised was still not as good as himself, Lu Shuangshuang, his discomfort expanded.

After giving Lu Shuangshuang a hard look, she glanced at Qiao Jingjing.

Seeing that there was nothing strange about her and she was sitting there as if nothing happened, she couldn't help but frown.

What happened to Shangguan Xueer?

Why haven't you taken action yet?

Didn't she promise that Qiao Jingjing would be disgraced today?
But the palace banquet was already halfway over, and there was still no movement from Qiao Jingjing. Thinking of this, she became anxious.

Qiao Jingjing didn't notice the way Shangguan Xueer looked at her. After Lu Shuangshuang sat down, she whispered to her.

Afterwards, the aunt and sister-in-law stood up and left the table.

When Qin Yue'er saw this, she was ecstatic.

But when he saw Lu Shuangshuang with Qiao Jingjing, he frowned again.

Lu Shuangshuang also went with her. Will the plan she and Shangguan Xueer originally made go smoothly?

But then she thought that Shangguan Xueer had lived in the palace since she was a child, and she was just a Lu Shuangshuang. She should have a way to deal with it, so she felt relieved again.

Now only Qin Xuan is left.

Thinking of this, she turned her eyes to Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan noticed her gaze, turned to glance at her, and then withdrew his gaze.

Qin Yue'er sneered coldly.

Although this man is her brother, they have not been close since childhood. Her brother has never taken her seriously, so it would not be a pity to destroy him.

Not long after, a palace maid walked up to Qin Xuan and whispered something to him.

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment and glanced in Lu Xingzhi's direction.

I was wondering, what did Qiao Jingjing want to tell him in private?
But Qiao Jingjing's impression on him had always been very good, and he was certain of her character. This time, she asked someone to come to him because she really had something important to tell him.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and followed the palace maid out of the banquet.

When Qin Yue'er saw this, her heart seemed to pop out of her throat.

Qin Xuan has already gone out, so her and Shangguan Xueer's plan is already half successful.

As soon as Qin Xuan walked out of the imperial garden, he felt a little dizzy, but he only thought it was because of the drinking at the banquet and did not pay attention. Instead, he urged the maid who was leading the way: "Where is Mrs. Lu? Hurry up. lead the way."

"Mrs. Lu is right in front." The palace maid pointed to the front and replied.

Not long after, Qin Xuan, led by the palace maid, arrived at a side hall.

"Prince Qin, Mrs. Lu is inside. You can go in. I have something to do. Please leave first." After the palace maid finished speaking, she hurried away without waiting for Qin Xuan to say anything.

Qin Xuan reacted and wanted to stop her, but she walked very fast and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan became more vigilant.

This place was remote and not many people passed by, so he had to be cautious.

Looking at the closed room in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and did not approach. Instead, he raised his voice and asked, "Is there anyone inside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice came from inside, "Prince Qin?"

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment and replied: "I am."

He heard that the voice inside was indeed Qiao Jingjing.

In this way, the palace maid did not lie to him, Qiao Jingjing was really inside.

However, he still did not approach the house. Instead, he stood by the door and asked, "Mrs. Lu, why are you looking for me?"

At this time, Qiao Jingjing was sitting on a chair in the room, all wet. She was shivering because of the cold weather.

Just now, she and Shuangshuang went to the toilet together. Unexpectedly, when they came out, Shuangshuang was gone, and the maid who led them was also missing.

She knew something was wrong and was about to walk back when someone poured cold water on her from behind.

Her dress was instantly soaked.

In this state, she definitely couldn't go back to the banquet directly. She happened to pass by this side hall, so she hid in.

But she didn't expect Qin Xuan to come.
