"I see that there are more women than men attending the ball-pounding party today, so each group needs to be paired with one man and two women."
"The winner of each two groups will receive a bounty of ten taels, and the winner in the end will get this crystal pot."
The queen announced the rules of the game, and then the participants formed teams with each other until the game officially started.
Two groups of Chui Wan compete against each other. A group of three has five chips in each hand. Each player has three chances to hit the ball. If the ball goes into the hole three times, the opponent will get one chip. The first one to go into the hole will get three chips.
There is only one hole open in the course, and a small colorful flag is placed beside the hole as a sign.
Before starting the game, each group determines the order by tossing the ball, "those far away first, those close behind; those on the left first, then those on the right."
The little maids each hold a pole and wait behind the contestants, waiting to change poles.
A gong sounded and the game officially began.
The first person to take the stage was Li Shaopeng, the queen's nephew. No matter how he looked at the two girls from aristocratic families who teamed up with him, he felt that the two girls were not very willing.
The other group seemed to be harmonious and friendly, chatting happily.
Mu Nanxi chuckled and sighed: "Is he so unpopular?"
The fight was fierce in the field, and the onlookers stared at the field with interest, speculating with those around them who the winner of this game would be.
The young master of the Dian Kingdom spotted Mu Nanxi, took the initiative to step forward, and bowed to the end, "I wonder if the princess can form a team with me and participate in the competition together?"
Mu Nanxi glanced at him indifferently, her eyes full of vigilance and alienation, "I am just here to join in the fun, and have no intention of competing."
The young master of the Dian Kingdom did not leave, but still sincerely persuaded: "Princess, you are so smart, if you can join hands with me, you will definitely win. The Queen has set such a rule, but I only know the Princess. If I don’t form a team with you, I really can’t find anyone else!”
The expectation in his eyes was in stark contrast to Li Lu's angry look not far away.
Li Lu had been paying attention to the whereabouts of the young master of Dian Kingdom, and because he was not far from where Mu Nanxi was sitting, he happened to be able to hear their conversation.
When she saw that the young master of the Dian Kingdom took the initiative to invite Mu Nanxi, but was rejected by Mu Nanxi without knowing what he was doing, her face darkened and her anger was obvious.
Mu Nanxi noticed the malicious gaze not far away, picked up the tea cup to cover it up, and glanced at that place without leaving any trace.
It turns out that I have fallen in love with this feminine monster!
A sneer formed on her lips.
She put down the tea cup, smiled and said softly to Doge Huaining: "Young master, why don't you take a look at the little sister over there, she will be extremely happy."
The young master of Dian Kingdom was stunned by Mu Nanxi's sneer, and then his expression changed slightly when he heard her refusal.
He glanced at the little sister Mu Nanxi was talking about, and a hint of haze flashed in his eyes.
Mu Nanxi's voice was very low just now. Li Lu only saw her mouth move, and Doge Huaining glanced at her with an unkind expression.
Li Lu was shocked by that look, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
She couldn't help but feel worried and suspicious about what Mu Nanxi had said to him.
At this time, cheers came from the audience. The first competition was over. Li Shaopeng's group was defeated, and the other group almost won a crushing victory.
"Useless thing!" Li Shaopeng scolded the young lady in his group with a dark face. "If I had told you that you were so bad at Chuiwan, I would never have teamed up with you idiots!"
Li Shaopeng walked away, leaving the two young ladies in the field at a loss. However, his opponent's players enthusiastically pulled them out of the field.
Mu Nanxi felt irritated when she saw Doge Huaining not leaving.
She seemed to be able to feel the flies flying constantly in front of her, which made her feel extremely bored. If she couldn't teach him a lesson here, couldn't she just hide away?
Dog Huaining noticed Mu Nanxi getting up and immediately stepped forward to follow her.
Mu Nanxi heard Dog Huaining's footsteps. She immediately stopped, turned her head, and said in an unhappy tone: "Young Master, please stay. It's convenient for me to go now!"
After hearing Mu Nanxi's words, Dog Huaining couldn't continue to follow her. He could only watch her retreating back, feeling a sense of irritation in his heart.
When Li Lu saw Mu Nanxi leaving the table, she stood up and prepared to follow.
She had just taken a few steps when she heard Mu Wanjing ask from behind her: "Sister Lu, where are you going?"
"Go to the toilet." She dropped these two words and strode away alone.
She was going to teach this shameless woman a lesson today. She was already married to the prince, how could she shamelessly seduce the young master of Dian Kingdom in public?
Such a handsome young man was rejected and humiliated by a reckless woman in the village, and her niece, the queen, was crushed by her hands time and time again!
The more Li Lu thought about it, the angrier she became. She really wanted to be like her brother, who would beat someone to death to vent her anger whenever someone made her unhappy!
But she is a lady and cannot do such a thing.
She followed Mu Nanxi forward, not noticing the changes in the scene around her.
Looking at the bleak palace that was getting more and more strange around her, Linglong felt a chill on her back and unconsciously moved closer to Mu Nanxi.
Only the broken stone door remains at the entrance of the palace, with the carvings and patterns of the past still vaguely visible.
The vermilion on the door has faded, leaving only traces of time and mottled moss.
The entire palace was abandoned, with only the wind howling in the empty courtyard.
"Hanzhang Palace." Mu Nanxi stopped and murmured as he looked at the abandoned palace in front of him.
"Princess, why is there not even a maid here? But are you going the wrong way?"
Mu Nanxi did not answer her words, but turned around slowly, with a decent smile on her lips, and said slightly louder: "Aren't you coming out?"
Linglong was excited when she heard this, and quickly jumped to Mu Nanxi's side, hugged her arm tightly, and asked warily: "Huh? Who?"
Linglong looked ahead nervously, and then she saw a figure walking out of the palace wall at the corner, staring at her princess with eyes full of jealousy and resentment.
"You have been following me since I left the table. What do you mean?" Mu Nanxi smiled indifferently.
She had long been aware of the footsteps following behind her. From the intensity of the sound, she roughly deduced that it was a woman. She wanted to be playful, so she walked around randomly, which happened to lead people to this place where birds didn't poop.
"What is the relationship between the Young Master of Dian Kingdom and you? You have had an affair after several conversations? What did you just say to him!" Li Lu stepped forward and asked.
Mu Nanxi sneered: "Are you blind? Which eye can tell that we have an affair?"
"That's why you, a married woman Hongxing, cheated on you. You have a mother but not a mother. You really have no shame. I will report it to the empress and have you thrown into prison!"
Mu Nanxi raised her hand and slapped Li Lu: "What a mother-in-law but not a mother-in-law! I annoy you the most who are looking for trouble. If you just say these words, then get out!"
"You dare to hit me!" Li Lu pointed at her and scolded: "Sister Jing is indeed right, you are just a savage and vulgar fox! You are a despicable person who doesn't care for your father and doesn't love your mother! You'd be innocent if you died outside. Got it!"
Mu Nanxi looked at the crazy woman speechlessly, raised her hand and slapped Li Lu again with all her strength: "You idiot, Mu Wanjing provokes you everywhere, if I can slap you awake, your parents will They have to kneel on the ground and thank me for bringing their daughter back from the lost path!"
Li Lu was whipped around in a circle this time, covering her beaten face. After standing firm, she looked at Mu Nanxi, so shocked that she couldn't even notice the pain on her face.
"Ah!" Li Lu realized it later and screamed angrily.
Mu Nanxi frowned tightly, covered her ears, and snorted coldly: "But don't worry, your dear sister will suffer the consequences later. I can't hide. If I hit you today, it will be an advantage for you."
Li Lu gritted her teeth, stared and shouted: "You! If you dare to hit me today, aren't you afraid that I will tell my aunt!"
"Go and make a deal. Then who can prove that I hit you? Who saw it? Linglong, did you see it?"
"No!" Linglong said firmly with firm eyes.
"Look, you don't even have a witness. Even if your aunt is the queen, what can she do against me, the princess? You can't just give in!" Mu Nanxi curled her lips and spread her hands indifferently.
Li Lu raised her finger and pointed at Mu Nanxi, almost losing her breath.
"You...you...you..."
"Why don't you stop scolding me if you can't get it out of me? Besides, if you keep arguing, I might smash your mouth!" Mu Nanxi sneered silently, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, which made people shudder.
In her previous life, she had a mother but not a mother, and lived a life of licking blood every day.
Living again, she still looks like this in the eyes of others, but fortunately this time she has a mother.
Mu Nanxi took Linglong and left, leaving Li Lu standing alone, her face full of anger and her cheeks flushed.
She clenched her fists and dug her nails deeply into her skin. She felt the pain and was able to regain some sense.
Mu Nanxi returned to her seat and saw that the young master of Dian Kingdom was actually teaming up with Mu Wanjing, plus a young lady she didn't know about. She asked others and found out that they had won three games in a row.
The competition is now entering the final countdown. After the last round of competition, it will be decided who will win the crystal pot, but no one has come forward to compete.
The queen smiled and joked: "But someone is going to play again! Is it because I don't have the confidence to win the competition?"
Mu Wanjing took a step forward and blessed her body: "Back to the Queen, my eldest sister has always liked to play with pills. Today, she was thinking that she was already married, and it would be disrespectful to play with the younger generation, so she endured the itchiness of her hands and did not end up. Please allow the queen to allow my eldest sister to compete in the competition."
"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Mu Nanxi.
Mu Wanjing looked proud, expecting Mu Nanxi to make a fool of herself.
Li Lu's accuracy with Chuiwan was better than hers. She wanted to instigate Li Lu to give Mu Nanxi a hard time, but she didn't know where she went after going to the toilet. In order to teach Mu Nanxi a lesson, she had to do it herself. end.
Mu Nanxi gritted her back teeth and reluctantly stood up and blessed the queen: "Queen, I have been feeling unwell recently and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
