Chapter 725 The Palace Banquet Farce (2)
Xiao Mingyu's food was tasteless.To be honest, the food at the palace banquet looks exquisite, but the taste is not good.And it's winter again, with so much food to prepare, it's impossible for all the food to keep the temperature just out of the pan.In addition, there is a long distance from the imperial dining room to here.The steaming food and wine were taken out of the imperial dining room, and when they arrived at the palace banquet, they all became icy cold.Only the empress Su and the most distinguished people could enjoy the steaming food and wine.

Xiao Mingyu drank a glass of wine, and his heart warmed up.Watching the singing and dancing performances in the field, I feel bored.Or the performance at Princess Chang'an's Mansion is more exciting.But Empress Su has always been dignified and solemn, so it is naturally impossible for a man to perform singing and dancing.

Crown Princess Duan held the wine glass and looked at Xiao Mingyu.The two were not far away, so under the noise of singing and dancing, Xiao Mingyu could still clearly hear the voice of Crown Princess Duan.

"Princess Ning, I offer you a toast. You can't refuse."

Xiao Mingyu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "I should be the one to respect the Crown Princess, I will do it first, and the Crown Princess can do whatever she wants."

Xiao Mingyu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and the serving maid hurriedly poured the wine for Xiao Mingyu to continue drinking.The second princess looked around, with a half smile but not a smile, as if she saw something interesting.

The princess waved her hand, the singing and dancing stopped, and the singers and dancers retreated to the corner.The crown princess Duan said loudly, "This year's palace banquet, there is one more person, and this is Princess Ning. The new member of our royal family has a noble status and has the ability to turn stones into gold. Today is a family banquet, you don't have to Restraint. Come, we all have to offer a toast to Princess Ning." Then he smiled with Xiao Mingyu, "Princess Ning, as a new member of the royal family, you can't refuse."

Concubine Wei frowned secretly, but as an elder, as long as there is no out of line, she is not easy to intervene in matters between the younger generation.Didn't see Empress Su and didn't say a word, just pretended that she didn't see anything.

The Second Princess looked at Xiao Mingyu sympathetically.From her eyes, Xiao Mingyu saw sympathy for the same sick.Could it be that the second princess has also encountered this kind of treatment.Xiao Mingyu didn't have time to think about it, and said to the Crown Princess Duan, "His Royal Highness loves you so much. As a new member of this big family, I should respect everyone."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mingyu picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. "Congratulations to everyone here, and auspicious Chinese New Year."

Then Xiao Mingyu drank two more glasses and said a lot of auspicious words.Xiao Mingyu wanted to use this method to prevent the Crown Princess from using the method of fighting with wheels to force her.With so many people present, if there was a wheel-to-wheel battle, today's result would definitely not be good.One look at Crown Princess Duan's eyes, one can tell that she has no good intentions.

Crown Princess Duan looked at Xiao Mingyu with a smile, "Princess Ning is good at drinking. But it's obviously not enough, everyone, right?"

"Yes!" Many people in the clan went crazy, and with the deliberate arrangement of the Crown Princess Duan, many people immediately booed.

I thought the banquet for the women's relatives was peaceful, quiet and reserved.But looking at it today, it is not the case at all.The aristocratic ladies of the clan are no worse than men when they make trouble.He can do any kind of tricks, which really opened Xiao Mingyu's horizons.Of course, it would feel terrible if all these tricks were used on her.

Immediately, a noble lady from the clan came to Xiao Mingyu's table with a wine glass, "Princess Ning, I'm toasting you, you have to drink, or you won't give me face."

Crown Princess Duan looked at Xiao Mingyu with a smile, "Don't worry, Princess Ning will definitely give you face."

Xiao Mingyu laughed, and held down the rim of the other party's cup, "Drinking is so boring, let's play some new tricks."

The noble ladies of the clan were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and Xiao Mingyu's proposal echoed their thoughts, "Okay, Princess Ning, tell me how to play the game, what's the prize for winning, and what about losing?"

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, "Let's play betting games. Those who win don't need to drink, and those who lose can drink vigorously. How about it?"

Throw pot?This is beyond everyone's expectations.

Empress Su clapped her hands and laughed, "Princess Ning's suggestion is good, so let's vote."

After Empress Su had spoken, the servants immediately brought in two porcelain bottles with narrow necks and small mouths, and put them on the ground.The feather arrows used for throwing the pot were also brought over. The arrows of the feather arrows were removed, so there was no need to worry about hurting people.

Everyone looked at Xiao Mingyu worriedly, because in the rumors about Xiao Mingyu, being smart and capable is a bit like gold, but there is no such thing as martial arts.You must know that many of the noble daughters of the clan have practiced martial arts since childhood.Although throwing pots is different from archery, people with experience in martial arts will always have a higher success rate in throwing pots.

Xiao Mingyu smiled lightly, not letting anyone see what she was thinking.Since she dared to propose this game, she naturally had her reasons.

The ladies stepped forward one after another and asked, "How do you want to play?"

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said, "It's very simple, ten feather arrows per person. I will throw first, and if anyone exceeds the number of arrows I throw, then I will consider myself a loser, and I will drink a glass of wine."

"This method is good and fair." The Second Princess interjected, and asked Xiao Mingyu with a smile, "Since Princess Ning proposed to throw the pot, I think she is sure."

Xiao Mingyu smiled lightly, walked forward, picked up the feather arrow and fiddled with it.Porcelain vases were put on the ground, the mouth of the bottle was no bigger than a peach, and it was close to the ground. This was very difficult, and many people were not sure that they would win.Xiao Mingyu was also not completely sure, but Xiao Mingyu was willing to try.After all, she wouldn't obediently drink with those people.

At this moment, Xiao Mingyu also didn't care about his own image, he half-kneeled on the ground, his whole body was almost touching the ground, aimed at the mouth of the bottle, tried the feel of the hand, and estimated the distance and strength in his mind.See how to cast to make sure more.

Princess Duan stepped forward and said with a smile, "Is Princess Ning okay? If not, Princess Ning should drink obediently. Anyway, it's just drinking, and it won't kill you. Why should Princess Ning do this?" spell."

Xiao Mingyu raised his head, grinned at Crown Princess Duan, and said in a low voice, "Prince Princess wants to see the jokes of my princess, how can I let you do that. You are right."

"you……"

"In front of so many people, the Crown Princess must not speak evil words. You must know that the empress and the imperial concubine are watching." Xiao Mingyu laughed mockingly.

Princess Duan also smiled coldly, "Okay, I want to see if you have the ability to win everyone present."

Xiao Mingyu smiled confidently, and said: "Whether you are capable or not, the Crown Princess just needs to watch from the side, why bother to condescend and lower her head to talk to this princess."

The Crown Princess Duan decided to hate Xiao Mingyu for the rest of her life. This person is really disgusting.Why should a woman without birth fight against her.
