As soon as Song Wanning returned to her seat, Zhuque behind her whispered in her ear, "Madam, Aunt Cui made things difficult for you in the past, and now we don't know what bad things she is up to. Are you really going to help her this time?"
"This is just the first step. I might as well see if she is truly surrendering. If I find that she is still as pretentious as before, it will not be too late to get rid of her." Song Wanning said in a faint voice. She remembered that in her previous life, Cui Xiaoxiao also made many strange things in Lan Courtyard, which she found strange in her previous life.
Now that Cui Xiaoxiao said she wanted to surrender to her, she might as well take a good look to see if she could do it and if she could make those things. Cui Xiaoxiao was now punished for the hatred in her previous life. Song Wanning might as well give her a chance. After all, no one would refuse the opportunity to make money.
Seeing this, Zhuque just nodded and said, "I will help Madam keep an eye on her. If there is anything wrong with her, I will report it to Madam immediately."
Song Wanning looked at her lovely maid and smiled softly, "I feel most at ease with you around."
Although there were some disturbances in this banquet, it was still safe. As the banquet was coming to an end, Princess Xiangyu, who was sitting next to Concubine Xian, stood up.
Princess Xiangyu stood in the hall and said to the emperor, "Father, it's rare that all the officials and their wives in the capital are here now. It's boring to have the same banquet every year. Why not try something new this year?"
The emperor sitting on top smiled faintly, "Xiangyu, what do you want to play?"
Princess Xiangyu looked around and smiled slowly, "Now all the marquises are here, and each of them has special skills. I am tired of watching the musicians and dancers in the palace dancing. Why not let these ladies write down what they are good at on pieces of paper and put them in a bucket. Then beat the drum and pass the flower. Whoever gets the flower will stand up and draw lots. No matter what they draw, they have to perform."
Before the emperor could say anything after Princess Xiangyu said this, Prince An Xie Ke spoke up, "Princess Xiangyu, this is a good idea. The whole palace hasn't seen such a bustle for a long time."
Seeing the brother and sister singing the same tune, the emperor did not want to spoil the fun, so he looked at Princess Xiangyu and said, "I also think this is a good idea. In this case, Xiangyu will take the lead and lead the ladies to play this game. These ladies should not be ordinary people nowadays, and each of them should have special skills."
"Thank you, father." Princess Xiangyu responded with a smile and asked her maids to put white pieces of paper on the desks of the ladies, asking them to write down their unique skills.
After a while, all the paper strips were collected. Princess Xiangyu rolled them into balls and put them in the basket.
"My dear ladies, I have all the skills you know. Let's start the game of passing the flower." Princess Xiangyu looked around and said with a smile, "Now, if someone gets the flower in the male seat, the ladies will draw lots. If the lady doesn't come, it's a daughter, and so on."
Princess Xiangyu said this and signaled her maid to place the red flower on the prince's seat.
The prince looked at Princess Xiangyu and smiled, "Sister Xiangyu, I came here alone without the Crown Princess. If I get this red flower, I can't ask my mother to perform for me, right?"
Princess Xiangyu heard this and said, "Crown Prince is the first one now, it will never be his turn anyway."
Upon seeing this, Crown Prince Xie Cheng just smiled, picked up the red flower and made preparations.
The person holding the drum now was naturally Princess Xiangyu. She turned her back and said slowly, "Begin!"
At this time, the flower in the hand of the crown prince Xie Cheng also began to pass around, and he handed it to Xie An next to him. However, Xie An was not honest, and he held the red flower for a long time without passing it around.
After laughing for a while, he handed it to the Prince of Yong Xie Bi next to him, then to the Prince of Yi Xie Ze, and the Prince of Cheng Xie Su, and finally it was passed to Yin Yichen.
But who would have thought that Princess Xiangyu's drum beats would sound at this moment.
Princess Xiangyu turned around and saw Yin Yichen holding the drum. She laughed out loud, "What a coincidence! I thought it was passed to the back, but it turns out it's still in the Prime Minister's hands."
Yin Yichen looked at Princess Xiangyu indifferently, with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he had seen through Princess Xiangyu's current intention.
Princess Xiangyu coughed when she saw this and set her eyes on Song Wanning, "Madam Prime Minister, now that the Prime Minister has the flowers, it is natural that the Prime Minister's wife will draw lots and perform."
Before Song Wanning could say anything, Yin Yichen, who was standing beside her, stood up and said slowly, "Now that I got the flower, I will draw the lot for my wife."
As Yin Yichen stood up, Prince Yong Xie Bi laughed out loud, "I've heard that the Prime Minister and his wife have a very good relationship, and now I see that it's true. We, the princes, are so envious that the Prime Minister has such a beautiful wife."
Prince An Xie Ke, who was sitting next to him, sneered, "What's the use of being pretty? Don't be a weakling. That would really make you a laughing stock."
Yin Yichen said nothing and strode towards Princess Xiangyu.
Princess Xiangyu was angry now, but she was holding it in. After all, everyone knew that she wanted to marry Yin Yichen. Now that Yin Yichen and his wife were in harmony, it was a slap in her face.
Yin Yichen is now wearing a moon-white brocade with gold edges. Everyone says that clothes make the man, but Yin Yichen is a clothes hanger. No matter what clothes he wears, he looks exceptionally handsome. But now, it makes people envious. Yin Yichen and Song Wanning stand together, just like the saying goes - a perfect match.
Yin Yichen took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to reach into Princess Xiangyu's basket, and soon he pulled out a dumpling.
Princess Xiangyu originally had a dumpling in her sleeve, but now she saw Yin Yichen's scrutinizing eyes, and she felt an unreasonable pressure in her heart. Yin Yichen handed the paper dumpling in his hand to Princess Xiangyu, and said in a light voice, "Excuse me, Princess."
Princess Xiangyu unconsciously formed a thin layer of sweat on her face, and her hands holding the paper ball were wet with sweat. She dared not play any tricks in front of Yin Yichen, and immediately opened the paper ball in her hand.
Princess Xiangyu slowly read the words on the note under Yin Yichen's gaze and said, "Play a song of Feng Qiu Huang——"
