The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 289 Beating the Drum and Passing the Flowers

The young ladies from prominent families present were all waiting to see Li Muxia make a fool of herself.

Shangguan Wenya frowned as she watched Li Muxia shake her head at her, afraid that she might offend the princess in a moment of impulsiveness.

Li Muxia smiled at her, indicating that she could rest assured. Then she stood up, bowed to the princess, and said, "This humble woman thanks Your Highness for your kind words. As for singing, this humble woman is no match for the ladies present. However, when it comes to entertaining, this humble woman has thought of something more interesting than singing."

Upon hearing this, the third princess became interested: "Oh, what is it? Tell me."

Li Muxia had participated in several team-building activities at the hospital in her previous life and had played many team-building games, which came in handy now.

She declared firmly, "Passing the flower while the drum is beating."

Third Princess: "What does 'passing the flower while drumming' mean?"

Li Muxia explained the rules of the game of musical chairs, but she changed the punishment to a game of truth or dare.

The more everyone listened, the more excited they became, finding it incredibly thrilling. They couldn't wait to play, since the banquet had been going on for quite some time, and they had already said almost everything they needed to say. Playing a game would be a perfect way to save everyone the trouble of racking their brains for topics.

The Third Princess had her maid bring a flower ball, and the first thing she did was beat a drum.

As the drumbeats began, the bouquet weaved through the young ladies of noble families. Those who had already received it secretly breathed a sigh of relief, watching the direction the bouquet would travel and wondering who it would stop in. The young ladies about to receive it stared nervously at the bouquet, praying that the drumbeats wouldn't stop just as they received it, while also hoping that the bouquet would be passed to them quickly.

Soon, the drumming stopped, and the bouquet landed in the hands of a young lady from a prominent family.

The young lady instantly wore a bitter expression, complaining about her bad luck, while the other young ladies laughed and teased her.

According to the rules, the Third Princess turned to the girl holding the bouquet and said, "Miss Wu, would you like to choose Truth or Dare?"

Miss Wu thought for a moment and said, "Princess, I choose truth."

The Third Princess thought for a moment, but really didn't know what to ask, so she looked at Li Muxia for help.

Li Muxia received Dongfang Jinshu's gaze, understood immediately, and stood up to say, "Princess, you can ask some questions that everyone is interested in, such as: Does Miss Wu have someone she likes?"

Everyone became interested upon hearing Li Muxia's words, and looked at Miss Wu with amusement. Miss Wu blushed and dared not look at everyone.

The Third Princess then spoke up, "Then let's discuss this issue, Miss Wu. Please tell the truth."

Upon hearing this, Miss Wu's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She nodded slightly and whispered, "Yes."

The women around her immediately started gossip-detecting, asking in a jeering tone, "Really? Who is it?"

Seeing that Miss Wu looked a little embarrassed, Li Muxia said, "You can only ask one question at a time when you want to know who it is. If you want to know, just wait until the next time the bouquet falls into Miss Wu's hands before you ask."

Hearing Li Muxia's words, no one was dissatisfied. On the contrary, they were even more looking forward to the game. Some people were even thinking about how they would answer the question if the flower ball landed in their hands.

Miss Wu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Muxia with gratitude.

Next, it was Ms. Wu's turn to beat the drum.

After the previous round of the game, everyone's interest in the game was even stronger, and some of the girls were so excited that their hands trembled when they caught the ball.

The second round of the bouquet landed in the Fourth Princess's hand. The Fourth Princess also chose truth, and Miss Wu naturally didn't dare to ask if the Fourth Princess had a sweetheart.

After thinking for a moment, I asked a simple question: "What is the fourth princess's favorite flower?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lost interest, and the Third Princess chimed in, "What kind of question is this? Why don't you ask another one?"

Miss Wu stood there somewhat embarrassed and at a loss, but fortunately the Third Princess noticed her embarrassment and said, "Never mind, I'll ask for you. Fourth Sister, who is the man you like?"

The Fourth Princess knew that her Third Sister wouldn't let her get away with this easily. If the man she liked liked her back, that would be fine, but if he didn't, wouldn't she lose face in front of everyone?

She said, "Third sister, you're not the referee now, so I refuse to answer your question."

After saying that, she looked at Miss Wu and said, "This princess likes crabapple blossoms."

After saying that, he took Ms. Wu's drumsticks, turned around, and started the next round.

The third princess clicked her tongue in disappointment.

When the Fourth Princess stopped, the bouquet was right between the two young ladies from noble families, both of whom were holding bouquets.

Seeing this situation, everyone turned their attention to Li Muxia. Li Muxia rubbed his forehead, stood up and said, "Both of you will be punished. As for who will be the referee, you can play rock-paper-scissors."

Seeing everyone's confused looks, Li Muxia explained the rock-paper-scissors game to them again.

Half an hour passed, and everyone's interest remained high. The secret of the young lady from the noble family had been revealed to most of them.

Just as the drumming stopped, the flower ball landed in Li Muxia's hands, while the one who had been playing the drum was Feng Jingxin.

This made all the young ladies present smell the gunpowder. One of them was Prince Chen's former fiancée, and the other was Prince Chen's current fiancée. Suddenly, they were all looking forward to what Feng Jingxin would ask Li Muxia.

Feng Jingxin looked at Li Muxia with a smug expression and asked directly, "Li Muxia, do you still have feelings for His Highness Prince Chen?"

The Third Princess disagreed with Feng Jingxin's words, thinking it was a blatant insult to Li Muxia.

She really wanted to say something in Li Muxia's defense, but that's how the game is, and she couldn't break it arbitrarily.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia simply smiled faintly. Although the answer was easy, he just didn't want Feng Jingxin to be smug. Didn't she want to humiliate her? She would just do the opposite.

"I choose dare."

Everyone's ears perked up, but what they heard was this, leaving them somewhat disappointed.

Feng Jingxin gasped for breath, "You..."

The Third Princess secretly gave Li Muxia a thumbs up.

However, since the previous contestants had all chosen truth, her sudden choice of dare left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Feng Jingxin snorted coldly: "Fine, you said it yourself, then jump into Jade Lake."

Everyone looked at Feng Jingxin with disapproval upon hearing her words. Only then did Feng Jingxin realize that she had spoken her true feelings aloud, and she quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "I was just joking with her. How could I possibly let her jump into the lake?"

After saying that, she guiltily smoothed her hair and said, "Mu Xia, why don't you sing a song for everyone?"

Although Feng Jingxin was unwilling, she didn't dare to make things too difficult for Li Muxia, after all, she was known for her beauty and kindness.

However, he didn't want Li Muxia to have it too easy. "You don't want to sing? I'll make you sing in front of everyone."
