Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

"We'll know on that day. If we find out in advance, wouldn't that be considered a spoiler? That would be so boring." Su Feiran disagreed.

Xie Zhiqi was determined to tell Su Feiran. She drank a sip of milk tea to moisten her throat, then said, "Do you know that Yang Cainu has a new dog? It—"

"Fluffy!" Su Feiran's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What?" Xie Zhiqi was startled. "What's that sound! Were you talking just now?"

Su Feiran looked around and said, "No, I didn't hear anything."

"I haven't seen the dog either. I just know it's a rare breed that she sent to the palace through connections. Ah, it's so cute just imagining it." Xie Zhiqi was very yearning. "Unfortunately, the dog is so precious that someone follows it wherever it goes. Yang Cainu doesn't allow anyone to touch it casually. It seems that it's difficult to touch it."

Su Feiran was aroused by what she said. After hearing what Xie Zhiqi said, she also wanted to get a dog.

Anyway, there is free time in the palace, so petting and walking the dog is a good pastime.

"Also, Concubine Wang has put in a lot of effort!" Xie Zhiqi rolled her eyes and said, "When Zhima passed by Lifang Courtyard earlier, she heard the sound of chopping wood boards inside! So, Concubine Wang must have been practicing boxing!"

"What kind of international joke is this?"

Su Feiran glanced at Xie Zhiqi and didn't take her words seriously at all - was this naughty sister making up lies to tease her?

Wang Qian's skinny body was so fragile that one would sweat when watching her do the splits, fearing that she might accidentally break her waist. Besides, she had a slender figure, like a fairy who grew up drinking dew and came down to earth to save herself from disasters. Why didn't she do some literary arts but performed the art of splitting wooden boards with her bare hands and breaking rocks with her chest?

Anyway, Su Feiran didn't believe it at all.

"The concubines living in Lifang Court are Concubine Wang and Concubine Shuo. If you don't believe it was Concubine Wang, do you think that was a program prepared by Concubine Shuo?" Xie Zhiqi asked back.

"Maybe it's just Lifang Court undergoing routine repairs. Your guess is too far-fetched." Su Feiran shook his head fiercely, and quickly threw the image of Wang Qian chopping wood with bare hands out of his mind. "Forget it, you'd better stop guessing. There's no reliable evidence at all."

Xie Zhiqi stuck out her tongue to express her disapproval. Although she didn't know what "solid evidence" meant, Su Feiran didn't want to listen to her, so she stopped talking.

Su Feiran thought of something and looked at Xie Zhiqi, "You just said that you came to play with me?"

Xie Zhiqi tilted her head and glanced at the ceiling. "Is that true? I forgot about it."

"Hurry up and tell me what's so fun!" Su Feiran used his hand to straighten Xie Zhiqi's head. "I heard that the stage in the Flower and Bird Pavilion has not been dismantled yet. Did the Queen Mother invite the touring troupe back?"

"Liu Ronghua, don't worry about the touring troupe. They've been away from the capital for two days!" Zhima behind Xie Zhiqi interrupted, "I heard that the Queen Mother has invited a storyteller to give a story at the Flower and Bird Pavilion at noon!"

Su Feiran was about to protest that I was not included in such a fun activity, but suddenly she remembered that she was still sleeping soundly at that time, and she immediately became listless.

"We are free anyway. The storyteller is still in the palace. Why don't we invite him over?" Xie Zhiqi was in high spirits. She jumped and danced around Su Feiran's couch a few times.

Su Feiran thought about it and it was not a bad idea.

She had long heard that the storytellers on the streets of ancient times were full of witty remarks and their stories were more interesting than comic books, so she wanted to see it for herself.

Yuxiao received Su Feiran's order and went to pass on the message. Su Feiran just played with Xie Zhiqi for a while, and Yuxiao came back with his men.

It was inconvenient for the storyteller to go up to the attic, so Yu Xiao placed him in a side hall of the Zichen Palace.

Since everyone was invited, it would not be good for the two of them to eat alone. To make things even better, Su Feiran simply called everyone in the Purple Palace over, and the master and the attendants sat in the same room, and everyone listened to the storytelling together.

Yuxiao was very considerate. Seeing a group of people sitting around a table with nothing on it, she discussed with Yuliu to bring some fruits and snacks over. In this way, everyone could listen to the storytelling while keeping their mouths busy, making life more enjoyable.

"Good job." Su Feiran secretly gave Yu Xiao a thumbs up, "Good job!"

Yuxiao raised her thumbs up and said, "You are welcome."

The storyteller slammed the gavel, picked up the folding fan, and opened it in front of him with a "whoosh", then began to perform in style.

"Wow!" Xie Zhiqi couldn't help but exclaim.

She was the typical daughter of a wealthy family. She had never been around the streets and had never seen the style of a storyteller.

"The last book said that in the ancient dynasty, there were great demons invading the sea and evil dragons lurking in the mountains—"

"Wait, wait!" Su Feiran raised his hand to interrupt everyone with curious eyes, "Have you all heard about the last time?"

Everyone shook their heads and said “no”.

The storyteller touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I was telling a story in the Flower and Bird Pavilion this morning, but you guys really didn't give me face."

"Sir, please don't blame us for not showing up. The Queen Mother specially invited you to tell stories this morning, and we were not invited, so how could we dare to go with you?" Lin Xiuqing smiled gently and explained, "It was Liu Ronghua who invited you, so we sisters were lucky enough to enjoy your story."

The storyteller blushed and immediately said, "How dare I blame you ladies? I will just start from the beginning."

There was the sound of the gavel falling on the table again, and everyone in the room was cheered up.

As the storyteller opened and closed his folding fan, he outlined a magnificent epic of the war between gods and demons.

He talked about a magical stone that was born from the essence of heaven and earth, and a stone monkey holding a huge axe, splitting the magical stone and breaking it out. After a while, he talked about the Peach Banquet in the sky, where Erlang Shen, who came to the banquet, was handsome and attracted the love of Zeus, the king of the Western Regions. So, he turned Hades, the god of the underworld, into a bull, and was determined to take this handsome man away when Erlang Shen was masturbating Anubis...

"As for the result of Lord Erlang's pursuit of Hades, the god of the underworld, please wait for the next chapter."

At the end of each chapter, the storyteller tapped the ruler lightly, waking up all the dreamers in the room.

Everyone was fascinated by the story and was still immersed in the contest between the Eastern Divine Realm and the Western Demonic Realm. They just felt that the storyteller said too little and they simply couldn't hear enough.

The storyteller had already packed up his folding fan and ruler, and put on his bag, "My ladies, I see it's getting late, so I'll leave first."

After all, the storyteller was a male guest, so everyone was reluctant to try to keep him, but they also felt sad and had no way to vent.

“The plot of this “The Legend of the Demon Slayer in the West” is interesting and tortuous, and it is very memorable, but after listening to it for a long time, it lacks some human touch.”

Seeing that everyone was reluctant to leave, Empress Xian took the lead in speaking to appease them.

"There is no need to go to Chitang Garden to pay respects today. Sisters, go back and rest first. I will invite you tomorrow. How about telling a story about a talented scholar and a beautiful woman?"

Su Feiran was extremely reluctant.

She didn't want to listen to stories about talented men and beautiful women. She could endure the long and sour plots, but if some parts of the story made her angry, she would lose control and make some outrageous and outrageous remarks, which would be bad.

But Su Feiran didn't want to go against Lin Xiuqing's good intentions. After thinking it over, he stood up and said, "If Empress Xian wants to hear the story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, why send a storyteller? I will tell you right now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

Liu Ronghua can tell stories?!
