Chapter 117: Mandarin Duck Banquet

That miserable female scream frightened Aunt Liu so much that she sat down on the ground and held her hands on the ground away from Yan Qiqi.

The corners of Yan Qiqi's eyes trembled slightly. Hong'er's scream was really miserable. If he hadn't known that she was pretending, he would have thought that she had really been tortured.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Aunt Liu sitting on the ground, and said coldly: "What are you doing sitting on the ground? We didn't invite you here to ask you to sit on the ground all the time. Get up."

"Yes, yes." Aunt Liu hurriedly got up from the ground.

"come over."

Aunt Liu stood there biting her lower lip, her face pale, hesitating whether to go over.

"Did you hear me? I asked you to come here." Yan Qiqi shouted coldly again, which made Aunt Liu tremble in fright and she hurriedly walked over.

Aunt Liu stood beside her, holding an embroidery cloth, lowering her head and not daring to look at her, "Little Miss, embroidery..."

"Time's up?" Suddenly, Yan Qiqi said again, which surprised Aunt Liu again and she immediately took a step back.

Hong'er limped out, her hands crossed, her head lowered, and her voice trembling, "Here, here we are."

"Well, stand aside." Yan Qiqi waved her hand, stretched her legs on the table, and glanced fiercely at Aunt Liu, "This is the consequence of disobedience."

Aunt Liu happened to raise her head and saw Hong'er's bloody knees and Yan Qiqi's sinister eyes. She was so frightened that she almost screamed.

He hurriedly covered his mouth, fearing that he would feel nauseated due to nervousness, but when he saw the look in Yan Qiqi's eyes, he didn't dare to spit it out. He suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and stood there.

At this time, Yan Qiqi stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, "I haven't eaten fresh meat today." Then she raised her face and looked at Lu Yi beside her, "Lu Yi, where should I eat today?"

Green Yi immediately stepped forward and said: "Miss, yesterday you ate the upper part of the belly meat, today it's time to eat the thigh meat."

"Well, the meat on the thigh is chewy. Go over and get a piece. Anyway, there is some ready-made today." Yan Qiqi locked her eyes with Aunt Liu opposite her and said quietly.

"Yes, miss." Luyi bent down and walked towards Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu was immediately frightened and turned pale, "Ah! Don't kill me! Don't eat me..." and ran out with a whoosh.

"Eh? He ran away." Yan Qiqi raised her head and looked outside, the fierce look in her eyes had long since disappeared.

He chuckled lightly, took out a silver note and handed it to Lu Yi, "Lu Yi, give this bank note to Aunt Liu."

This Aunt Liu is covered in pudding. Her family must be very poor. How could such a timid person come and teach her to eat human flesh?

Although she is not a good person and does not have the spirit of a savior, she is the one who scared people, so this amount of money can be regarded as mental damage compensation.

In the next few days, Yan Qiqi was very relaxed, and no one dared to come over to teach her about female beauty.

Yun Yixi sighed repeatedly, lamenting that her eyes were not working well, otherwise she would have to teach her personally.

In desperation, he had no choice but to let her go.

However, there is some consolation. This girl is really interested in playing chess. I heard from Tan Heng that Ping'er can occasionally beat him by a piece and a half.

When I attend the Mandarin Duck Banquet, if others ask me, it would be better to have an explanation than to know nothing but to play tricks on others.

Soon it was the night before the Yuanyang Banquet.

"Ping'er, tomorrow you go to the palace with your mother and father." Yun Yixi held Yan Qiqi's hand, her eyes full of love.

"Enter the palace?" Yan Qiqi was a little puzzled, "Why do you enter the palace?"

Before Yun Yixi could speak, a man's voice came from outside.

"Tomorrow is the annual Mandarin Duck Banquet of the Lietian Kingdom. It is a place where the nobles of the emperor and the sons and daughters of ministers have a blind date. My mother wants to take you there to find your husband."

While talking, Tan Xilei walked in.

"Lei'er, you are finally willing to die and come back." Yun Yixi raised her eyes and glared at him, and said angrily.

"Blind date? Mandarin duck banquet?" Yan Qiqi's lips couldn't help but twitch a few times.

Her mother-in-law has not forgotten to find a husband-in-law for her. No wonder she has been looking for a husband-in-law for her every day to teach her how to be a girl. Needless to say, it must be for blind dates.

Tan Xilei first smiled at Yun Yixi and said, "Mom, I miss you, so I'm back now."

"Tch!" Yun Yixi gave him a big roll of her eyes. Did she miss her? How could it be possible? He must have asked her for help. Her child didn't understand what kind of virtue he was.

"Haha..." Tan Xilei smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to touch his nose.

Then, he walked behind Yun Yixi and held her shoulders, "Mom, I have something to ask you for help."

Knowing that he came to see her for something, Yun Yixi said angrily: "What's the matter?"

Tan Xilei immediately knelt down and pinched her legs, doing all the tricks, "Mom, my child wants to attend the Mandarin Duck Banquet tomorrow. Can you and your father take the child there as well?"

"What! You want to attend the Yuanyang Banquet!?" Yun Yixi looked at Tan Xilei squatting there in surprise.

This guy never attended the Mandarin Duck Banquet. In the past, no matter how she tried to coerce or induce her, he found various ways to sneak away.

As for Feng'er, she is not qualified to participate. Only the princes, princesses, and direct children of ministers are allowed to participate in the Yuanyang Banquet. Feng'er is an outsider, so naturally she cannot participate.

So she and Tan Heng had never attended the Mandarin Duck Banquet. Now that they finally had a daughter, they could finally go and see the so-called Mandarin Duck Banquet.

Who knows, her eldest son will also participate, and the sun will rise from the west today.

"Yes, my son wants to participate too." Tan Xilei nodded immediately and said, "Don't you always say that I am too old and should have found a wife long ago? My son has figured it out now and will go over tomorrow to see if I can give him a wife.

You bring back a daughter-in-law."

"Have you really figured it out?" Yun Yixi asked doubtfully, why did she not believe it?

Tan Xilei nodded solemnly, "Yeah, I figured it out."

I didn't participate before because there was no one I liked there, but it's different now. I heard that Miss Mo also plans to participate, and I can express my love to her when the time comes.

God bless him, he must succeed immediately, and he must marry Mo Keer.

Thinking of the indifference beneath her cold and arrogant appearance, I felt extremely distressed. I wanted to hold her in my hands, love her, and make her smile sincerely, not that kind of forced smile.

Seeing Tan Xilei's eyes showing a different kind of tenderness, Yan Qiqi understood.

It seems that her brother has a sweetheart. Otherwise, with his free and easy temperament, he would not attend such a blind date banquet.

However, she didn't want to attend this blind date conference, it would be boring.

She immediately said to Yun Yixi: "Mom, now that my brother is willing to participate, I won't have to. I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't participate."

"No." Yun Yixi flatly refused, "You and your brother are going to go tomorrow. One will bring back a good daughter-in-law, and the other will bring back a son-in-law who will ride a dragon. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I will definitely bring you a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law tomorrow." Tan Xilei followed her instructions very obediently this time.

Yun Yixi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, not bad, my good son." It seemed that she was very satisfied with Tan Xilei's answer.

Then, he looked at Yan Qiqi who was struggling, "As for you, you must bring back my son-in-law Chenglong Kuaiqi tomorrow, otherwise..."

Otherwise, what if I beat you and I can't let go, and scolding doesn't work.

Alas, I'd better go to the Buddhist hall later and put out a few sticks of incense, and pray for the Buddha's blessing. Tomorrow I will definitely give her a son-in-law who will ride on a dragon.

Is it easy for her to be a mother? Everyone is looking for marriage, children and grandchildren, and wealth, but what she is looking for all day long is a daughter-in-law and son-in-law.

Yan Qiqi couldn't help but sigh, it seemed like she had to go tomorrow.

Just go, as long as she doesn't choose.

Uh, no, if she doesn't choose a man, her old lady will definitely not give up. It is the last word to find a way to keep those unmarried men away.

Later, Tan Xilei told her some things about the Yuanyang Banquet.

It turns out that the rules of the Mandarin Duck Banquet are similar to the program on a TV station’s Do Not Disturb program.

It’s just that the man is chosen first, and then the woman is chosen.

First, the women can perform their talents or crafts.

After the performance, stand there. If there is a man who likes her, you can come forward.

Then, another woman chooses the person she is willing to marry among those who are willing to marry her.

In this way, they form a couple, and they can sit together to communicate with each other and cultivate their relationship.

If you choose once and are rejected by the woman, you can wait for the next woman to choose again. There is no limit to the number of choices, only the number of people you choose.

Princes can choose multiple times, and if a woman is willing to marry him, they can continue to choose the next one.

But you can only choose a maximum of five. If you are already married to a principal concubine, you can only choose a maximum of four. If you have them all, the prince will lose the qualification to participate. If you don't have a principal concubine or a side concubine, you can choose five.

The law of the Lietian Kingdom is that each prince can only have one main concubine and four side concubines, and the others can only be regarded as concubines. There is no limit to the number of concubines, and you can have as many as you want.

However, the status of concubines is very low, and some individual concubines are not as high as the status of the eldest maid next to the concubine.

The women who come to attend the Yuanyang Banquet are all the legitimate daughters of ministers, and of course they cannot be concubines, so here the princes can only choose the principal concubine and the side concubine.

As for the sons of ministers or ministers who are not married, they can choose a woman to be their head wife, while concubines can only be taken outside.

If the match is successful, their families will go back first, and they will need to stay in the hunting grounds for three days. The man will go hunting in order to let the woman have a glimpse of his future husband.

Or you can compete with each other, and the emperor will watch from the side. Then you can show your talents in front of him.

Of course, if you are a civil servant, you don't need to. You only need to live in the hunting ground for three days.

The purpose is to cultivate feelings so that they won't be too unfamiliar after getting married.

If there is no successful match, you can go home on the same day.

Yan Qiqi looked at the night outside and couldn't help but sigh.

Alas, tomorrow is a boring day.

No matter what, a woman still has the right to say no, she just doesn't have to choose when the time comes.

Well, no one should choose her.

Suddenly, there was a slight movement outside, and Yan Qiqi's eyes suddenly darkened, and she stared at the door cautiously.
