The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 280 Don't worry, she didn't have a chance to perform.
After the banquet, I'll find a secluded spot and push that little bitch into the pond to drown her. She's so infuriating.

"Yonghe, since everyone's in a good mood today, why don't you perform something you're good at?" Emperor Da Yue, completely oblivious to Lu Shiyun's veiled malice, cheerfully said to Sheng Wanqiu.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any particular talents. I'm afraid I can't perform anything I'm especially good at here. My main concern is that the main beams of this palace aren't sturdy enough!"

"Of course, if Your Majesty doesn't mind, I could give you a performance?"

"Pfft!" Before Prince Wu'an could even swallow the tea he had just drunk, he couldn't help but spit it out when he heard Sheng Wanqiu's nonchalant attitude. Qiao Wenyuan, who was sitting next to him, immediately glared at him with disgust.

"Hey! Old Qiao, if your little girl really wants to perform later, I think we should leave first. We're not very mobile, and if the roof collapses, we won't have time to escape!"

"Don't worry, she won't have the chance to perform!" Qiao Wenyuan rolled his eyes at Prince Wu'an.

Emperor Da Yue was speechless at Sheng Wanqiu's blunt words. He suddenly remembered that Sheng Wanqiu was good at making cannons and explosives. He looked up at the main beam of the roof. If it were to be blown down, killing a dozen or twenty people would be a piece of cake!

"Alright, alright, sit down! You can perform again next time!" Emperor Da Yue could only wave his hand helplessly, urging Sheng Wanqiu to sit down quickly.

"Princess Yonghe, don't you have any special talents? I've heard that you are skillful, intelligent, and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Seeing that her trick hadn't worked, and with Sheng Wanqiu already seated, Lu Shiyun immediately added this sentence, mainly because she wanted to embarrass Sheng Wanqiu.

"Why isn't there anything you're particularly good at? Does being able to eat a lot count?"

"I don't know how you heard this, or who told you it. I'll take it as a compliment, but the person who spread the message is crazy, and the person who listened is a fool!"

"If you really want me to perform, that's not impossible, but I hope you can bear the consequences!"

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she directly pulled out the whip that had been wrapped around her waist, flicked it in the air, and made a crisp sound, which startled Lu Shiyun.

Consort De, sitting above, frowned. Could it be that Sheng Wanqiu really dared to make a move in the main hall?

"Yonghe, what do you want to perform?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile as soon as she saw that the situation was getting out of hand.

She was mainly angry with Lu Shiyun. If you're going to perform well, just perform well. Why make so much noise? This brat never learns anything!

You almost got strangled to death by Lingyun for talking nonsense before, have you forgotten that?

You must know that Sheng Wanqiu is not someone to be trifled with. She dares to deal with mountain bandits all by herself and can even tame tigers. How could she be so easily subdued by a girl who has never even left the palace gates?

Shi Yun is really asking for trouble! What kind of occasion is this? Is this a place where you can act recklessly? Bei Xu is still here! What grudges have to be brought up at a banquet!

Although the Empress Dowager was smiling, the coldness in her eyes made Lu Shiyun shrink back. "Your Majesty, I am truly not skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but I do know a little about martial arts, especially this whip, which I wield with consummate skill."

"How about I perform a feat of extinguishing a candle from three meters away in mid-air for you and all of you gentlemen to appreciate? Would that be acceptable?"

"Of course, the Second Princess's cooperation is also necessary. After all, the performance would be much better if the Second Princess balanced the candle on her head, wouldn't it?"

Lu Shiyun's legs were trembling. What did that damned Sheng Wanqiu mean by this? If she were to slap her in the face, she would definitely be disfigured!
That damned woman is so insidious!
"Alright! Why not? Then hurry up and prepare! I also want to see for myself whether Yonghe's whip is really as good as you say!"

The Empress Dowager also wanted to teach her granddaughter, who didn't know her place, a lesson, so she immediately agreed!
"I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

"Please come in, Second Princess!" Sheng Wanqiu immediately stepped forward, raised an eyebrow and smiled at Lu Shiyun, whose face had changed color, and gestured for her to enter.

Consort De clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her anger surging. Her daughter was truly incompetent and a complete hindrance. Now she was going to be in for a beating. She never learned her lesson!

Emperor Da Yue was in a state of turmoil, unsure of what to say. He saw Consort De looking at him with pleading eyes and was about to say something, but then he saw three threatening gazes directed at him, so he decisively chose to lower his head and drink.

"Yonghe, I think if you were blindfolded, it might better showcase your abilities. What do you think?"

The Third Princess, Lu Tangyun, had already added fuel to the fire. She hoped that Sheng Wanqiu could slap Lu Shiyun's face until it was bruised and battered, and see how she could still be so smug. Without thinking, she immediately stood up to deliver the final blow.

"She is the Third Princess, Lu Tangyun, the daughter of Consort Xian, and she doesn't get along with Lu Shiyun!" The gossip expert Lu Shuxue immediately whispered a reminder.

"The Third Princess's suggestion is good, let's do it!"

Sheng Wanqiu immediately smiled and nodded. The daughters of the Emperor of Dayue were all good-looking. The third princess, Lu Tangyun, had a dignified appearance and looked like the kind of artistic and fresh girl.

"Here you are! Sister Yonghe, I happen to have a dark purple silk handkerchief here. I guarantee you won't be able to see it once you cover your eyes!" The Third Princess immediately took out a silk handkerchief and handed it over.

Sheng Wanqiu laughed. Goodness, is this girl from the props department? I'm really impressed!
Lu Shiyun was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to powder. These two little bitches were ganging up on her, but she was already in a difficult position, and it was obviously impossible to back out now.

She could only look to Consort De for help, but Consort De was also suppressed by the Empress Dowager's sharp gaze and dared not utter a sound.

"When is it going to start? I'm waiting to see!" Marquis Wu Yao of Beixu Xiaoyao reminded him with considerable dissatisfaction. He had long disliked the second princess's pretentious manner. She had just blocked him at the entrance of the banquet. Her skin was truly thick.

If you want to marry his nephew, get lost!
"Please!" Sheng Wanqiu smiled, tilted her neck slightly, and flicked her whip in mid-air, making another gesture of invitation to the Second Princess, Lu Shiyun.

Seeing that her mother dared not look at her, Lu Shiyun could only look to her younger brother, the fourth prince of Dayue, Lu Yu, for help.

Lu Yu was also feeling unwell at the moment. His neck was hooked around by Lu Yu, and the two looked very affectionate. In fact, Lu Yu had already told him in his ear not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise his older brother would deal with him.
