"What game? Empress, tell me."
?? "Go and gather everyone. Let's play together. It's more fun with more people.”
?? "Alright, I'll call him right away."
?? Little Mei ran out happily. Liu Xue also smiled as she watched her leave.
?? Soon, Yan, Lan, and the others arrived.
?? "Everyone, our game needs a big venue, so let's go out and play.”
?? A few people surrounded Liu Xue and walked out in a row. Liu Xue walked back and forth in front of them and said,""The rules of the game are very simple. One is the eagle, one is the hen, and the rest are the chicks. The hen opened her arms to protect the chicks, preventing them from being caught by the eagle. The chicks caught by the eagle were eaten by the eagle.”
?? Liu Xue turned around and walked in front of Xiao Lan, pointing at her and saying,""Do you all understand? Xiao Lan, you will be the hen, I will be the eagle, and the rest will be the chicks. Hen, you have to protect the chicks. The game begins.”
?? Liu Xue arranged their positions and started to catch them. Actually, it was not worth it to be an eagle. It was very difficult to catch chicks. There was no other way. There were too few chicks. There were only five chicks. Liu Xue ran in a big circle to catch the chicks. When she turned back, the chicks behind her were all exposed. In the end, the chicks were caught pitifully.
?? Liu Xue ran a few rounds in a row and was already exhausted. She called for a break and took a break. In the first round, she only caught two chicks, Little Ding and Little Bear.
?? After resting enough, Liu Xue stood up and said,"Alright, let's continue. However, there was a reward and punishment this time. Those who were caught would be punished, and those who were not would be rewarded.”
?? "What punishment? What reward?"
?? Little Mei asked with interest when she heard that there was a reward and punishment.
?? "Do you want to hear the reward or the punishment first?”
?? "Listen up first."
?? "Reward him for not listening to me play the zither."
?? "Then the punishment is to listen to Niangniang play the zither?”
?? Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan's expressions changed. They still didn't understand what was going on. However, judging from their expressions, they must be in a bad mood. It seemed that they had to be careful.
?? "Come on, let's continue. You guys have to be careful, I'm going to catch you.”
?? They quickly lined up and the game continued.
?? After playing for a while, they already had an understanding of how to play this game. It was difficult for Liu Xue to grasp it at once.
?? They were very afraid that Liu Xue would continue to run in circles. Once she ran in circles, someone would definitely be exposed, and that person would definitely be caught.
?? After a few rounds, Liu Xue was a little tired again. However, she did not manage to catch a single chicken. She was very unwilling. What a cunning hen and chick.
?? Liu Xue began to run in large circles continuously. One moment, she ran in a large circle on the left, and the next moment, she ran in a large circle on the right. They were so scared that they could only dodge left and right. In the end, Little Chick and Little Ding fell out because they did not hold onto the clothes of the little bear in front of them. Haha.
?? Liu Xue caught up with him and caught him red-handed. This time, he could play the zither.
?? Since the chicken was caught, they naturally wouldn't continue. The others all heaved a sigh of relief.
?? Little Mei brought Little Ding into the piano room and tied him to a chair. Liu Xue sat in front of the piano. Little Mei ran out like she was hiding from a ghost and closed the door tightly.
?? A terrifying demonic sound came from the piano room. Little Mei and the others, who were standing far away from the piano room, could hear it.
?? "It's…it's strange…that you…are so afraid…of…listening to the Empress…play the zither…now…I finally…have a taste…of it.”
?? Yan and the others couldn't resist anymore and fainted.
?? If someone so far away fainted, wouldn't the person inside die?
?? After the zither music stopped, Liu Xue shook her head and walked out. It was really useless. She had only played for a short while, and Little Ding had actually frothed at the mouth and fainted.
?? "Xiao Mei, Xiao Lan, carry him into the house and wait for him to wake up.”
?? "Empress, not only did Ding faint, Yan and Yao also fainted.”
?? "Sigh."
?? Liu Xue sighed heavily. Was her zither really that terrifying? He didn't have internal energy yet. If he had internal energy, wouldn't they be dead?
?? After settling down Xiao Yao and the others, Liu Xue was extremely depressed. She had really accomplished nothing. Even the martial arts that she was so proud of was so weak here.
?? "Empress, what should we do?"
?? "Go to the imperial kitchen and ask the kitchen to prepare a raw chicken, various vegetables, a pot, oil, salt, etc., as well as a number of bowls and chopsticks.”
?? "Yes."
?? Little Mei and Little Lan walked out. Liu Xue continued to be depressed. For the first time, she realized that she was really useless here.
?? After being depressed for a while, Liu Xue started to set up a pot in the back hall. She would eat hotpot later. Haha, it was such a cold day. It was just right to eat this.
?? Halfway through the work, it started snowing outside. Liu Xue was excited and started singing,"" The north wind blows, the snowflakes drift, the snowflakes drift, and the year comes…"
?? "Niangniang, what are you singing? Why do I feel so sad?”
?? Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan came in with the things that Liu Xue wanted them to take.
?? Xiao Lan's eyes were sharp. She saw that Liu Xue was making a shelf and placed the things in her hands on the table. She walked over to Liu Xue and said in surprise,""Empress, what are you doing?"
?? "I'm making a shelf. Put the pot on it later. Add water to it, and then put the chicken in the pot. We'll eat hotpot today.”
?? "Hotpot?"
?? "Yeah, you'll know how delicious it is when you eat it later.”
?? "Oh, Niangniang, what were you singing just now? It sounds good, but it feels very sad."
?? " It's a story. It's about this time. The woman who sang this song was called Xi 'er. She had an Amma, but unfortunately, her family was poor and she couldn't pay off the money she owed a rich family. They wanted his Amma to sell his daughter. His daughter was his flesh and blood, but he refused, so they raped him. In the end, they signed a contract to sell themselves. He felt sorry for his daughter and committed suicide halfway. Xi' er was captured to be a maid in that rich family, but she escaped. After a day, Xi 'er, who was hiding in the temple, turned white.”
?? "Oh my god, so pitiful. What happened after that?”
?? "Later, the man who grew up with Xi 'er and was engaged to her saved her and killed that rich man. In the end, Xi' er married that man.”
?? "Fortunately, the ending is good. That damned person can bully people just because he's rich?”
?? Little Mei said angrily.
?? "Alright, don't be angry. Today is New Year's Eve. We have to be happy.”
?? "You two go check on Yan and the others first.”
?? After Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan went out, Liu Xue suddenly missed home. She really didn't know how her parents were doing. Liu Xue should be very filial to them.
?? Sorrow welled up in her heart, and Liu Xue started singing again,"" The clouds know when the wind stops, and the heart knows when love has left. He can't hide when he comes, and he leaves quietly…"
?? Halfway through the song, she forgot the lyrics. She changed her tone and continued singing." The cow is still grazing on the hillside, but I don't know where the cowherd is. It wasn't him who lost the cow because he was playing, but the cowherd, Wang Erxiao…"
?? "Niangniang, what song are you singing this time?”
?? Liu Xue ignored them and continued to sing." Second Little obediently walked in front and led the enemy into our ambush. Gunfire rang out everywhere. Only then did the enemy realize that they had been deceived..."
?? Little Mei and the others were obedient now. They didn't ask any more questions and just listened to her sing quietly.
?? " The enemy stabbed Er Xiaotao at the tip of his spear and she fell to her death on top of a big rock. Our thirteen-year-old Er Xiao died so miserably…"
?? "Oh my god, he actually fell to his death. He's only thirteen years old. Isn't he still a child? Do those people have a conscience?"
?? Yan cried out in shock. Everyone was in tears, even Liu Xue was crying as she sang.
?? After the song ended, no one spoke for a long time. They were all heartbroken for the 13-year-old child.
?? "What happened?"
?? Liu Xue felt that the atmosphere was stifling and spoke first.
?? "Niangniang, today is a festival. Can you sing some songs that will make us happy? Can you stop singing such a sad song?”
?? "I haven't finished singing yet. There's still one last verse.”
?? "Please, Niangniang, don't sing anymore. If you continue to sing, we will go outside and cry bitterly.”
?? "Alright, I won't sing then. I'll listen to you guys, okay?”
?? "Yes."
?? "Yan, Yao, Little Bear, Ding, what do you think? Are you feeling better?"
?? "Empress, we finally understand why Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan's expressions changed when they heard that you were going to play the zither.”
?? "It's good that you know. Let's see if you still dare to disobey my orders in the future.”
?? "We won't dare to. We won't dare to do it again.”
?? "This shelf is already done. There's still some time. Let's go play another game, okay?”
?? "Your Highness, you have so many games.”
?? "You guys go out first. I'll come out later.”
?? "Alright."
?? Liu Xue walked into the house and took out her bag. She took out a rope and tied a strap in the middle of the rope before walking out.
?? They watched as Liu Xue took the rope out. They could not figure out what the game was.
?? "The next game is called tug-of-war. You will be divided into two groups of three, two women and one man. The two rows of people grabbed one end of the rope and pulled it back with all their might. When the time was up, the side with the belt in the middle of the rope would win. The winner doesn't have to listen to me play the zither, but the loser has to listen to me.”
?? As soon as they heard the zither playing, they immediately became energetic. Both sides did not want to give way and pulled hard. The competition was so intense. Liu Xue's blood was boiling as she watched. She cheered from time to time.
?? By the end of the competition, there was still no winner. Liu Xue could only give up and start her hotpot feast gloomily. Of course, it was also their first time eating vegetables like this. They all felt that it was delicious.
?? After the meal, they forgot all about the unpleasant things.
