Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Everyone was having a great time, and the riddle guessing game made the atmosphere of the banquet even more cheerful and lively.

At this moment, Xiao Dengzi hurried over and said excitedly, "My dear masters, the opera troupe in the mansion is ready. They said they would perform some wonderful plays for everyone! Humph! The scene will be so lively, just like the fireworks during the New Year, colorful and wonderful! Humph!"

When the little swallow heard this, she jumped up immediately and shouted, "Wow! There's something interesting to watch! Humph! This is more fun than guessing riddles. I love watching shows! Humph! It's like a greedy cat seeing a fish and feeling itchy in the heart! Humph!"

Ziwei also smiled and said, "Yes, watching a play is also a pleasure. It's a good opportunity to take a break and enjoy it! Humph! It's like walking for a long time and finally being able to sit down and rest your feet, and also watch a wonderful performance! Humph!"

Erkang said to Xiao Dengzi, "Xiao Dengzi, please let the troupe in quickly. Everyone is looking forward to it! Humph! Don't let the excitement die out. It's like a burning torch. It has to be kept burning brightly all the time! Humph!"

Xiao Dengzi responded and hurried to greet the troupe. Soon, the troupe came into the courtyard of the palace with props and musical instruments, and started to perform in front of the stage that had been prepared long ago.

The old lady smiled and said, "Humph! I haven't watched a play for a long time. I must take a good look today to see what wonderful performances this troupe can bring us! Humph! Just like a child waiting to open a present, full of anticipation! Humph!"

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, watching a play is also a great pleasure of this banquet. I hope that today's play will satisfy everyone! Humph! Just like a farmer looking forward to a good harvest, he hopes to have a good harvest! Humph!"

The Queen said to Nan'er and Jinhong, "Nan'er, Jinhong, you must sit still and watch the show. Don't run around! Humph! Just like a primary school student who listens to his teacher, you must behave yourself! Humph!"

Nan'er nodded obediently and said, "Yes, Grandma, Nan'er will be good and watch the show carefully! Humph! Just like an obedient little lamb, I won't run around! Humph!"

Jinhong also said in a baby voice: "Grandma, I'm also a good boy. I want to watch the show! Humph! Just like a little kid waiting for candy, I'm so obedient! Humph!"

Soon, the troupe was ready, the gongs and drums sounded, and a wonderful play began.

The first play performed was "The Butterfly Lovers". The handsome Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai attracted everyone's attention as soon as they came on stage.

Xiaoyanzi was so fascinated by the scene that she could not help but say to Ziwei beside her: "Ziwei, look at Liang Shanbo, how handsome he is! Humph! He is just like a handsome man walking out of a painting, so handsome! Humph! And Zhu Yingtai is also as beautiful as a flower! Humph! She is just like the most beautiful peony blooming in spring, making people unable to take their eyes away! Humph!"

Ziwei smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiaoyanzi, they acted really well! Humph! This story is also touching. I really hope Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai can have a happy ending! Humph! Just like those two birds that want to fly together, don't let anything separate them! Humph!"

Yongqi also said, "This play is really wonderful. It really shows the deep love between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai! Humph! It's like the flowing river, constantly conveying that love to us! Humph!"

Zhihua hugged Mianyi and whispered to her, "Mianyi, look at the brothers and sisters in this play. They have such a deep affection for each other. When you grow up, you must find someone who treats you well. Just like choosing the sweetest fruit, you must find the best one! Hum!"

Mian Yi nodded, not quite understanding, and said, "Yes, Mom, I know. I need to find a good person! Humph! Just like finding someone who can play lots of games with me! Humph!"

After the first play, there was warm applause from the audience.

Little Swallow stood up and shouted, "Great, great! That was a great performance! Humph! Do it again! Humph! It's like a hungry person who still wants to see more! Humph!"

Everyone chimed in, clamoring to see it again.

So the troupe began to prepare for the next play.

This time, the play was "Mu Guiying Takes Command". Mu Guiying was dressed in military uniform and walked onto the stage with a heroic look. Her momentum was like that of a female general charging into battle, so majestic! Hum!

Ertai said excitedly: "Wow! This Mu Guiying is really impressive! Humph! She is like a commander leading thousands of troops. She is so amazing! Humph!"

Erkang also nodded and said, "Yes, the story of Mu Guiying is also well-known. Her bravery and wisdom are admirable! Humph! Just like the brightest star in the night sky, dazzling and dazzling! Humph!"

Ziwei smiled and said to Nan'er, "Nan'er, look at this sister Mu Guiying, how powerful she is! She is a heroine! Humph! She is like a heroine who can defeat many monsters. She is so majestic! Humph!"

Nan'er opened her eyes wide and said with admiration, "Wow! Sister Ziwei, I want to be as awesome as Sister Mu Guiying! Humph! Just like that little kid who wants to be a superhero, hoping to be that awesome! Humph!"

Jinhong also waved his hands and shouted, "I want to be awesome too, like Sister Guiying! Humph! Just like that little kid who wants to have super powers, how envious! Humph!"

Amid the admiration of the crowd, the play "Mu Guiying Takes Command" was performed brilliantly.

Then, the troupe performed several classic plays, each of which won applause and cheers from the audience.

After the show, the sky gradually darkened. Lanterns were lit in the palace, illuminating the entire courtyard, creating a different kind of scene.

Little Swallow said with a smile: "Oh, this show is really exciting! Huh! But I haven't had enough fun yet, let's play something else! Huh! Just like a child who is having fun but is called back home, he still wants to play more! Huh!"

Ertai said with a smile: "Xiaoyanzi, what else do you want to play? Humph! How about we play pot tossing? This is also quite interesting! Humph! It's just like shooting arrows at the shooting range, but it's changed to pot tossing. It's also challenging! Humph!"

When the little swallow heard this, she immediately became excited and said, "Great, great! Tossing pots is fun, I want to play! Humph! Just like a little kid who can't wait to play with new toys when he sees them, I can't wait! Humph!"

Ziwei said worriedly, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be too reckless. You need some skills to play the pot. Otherwise, you won't be able to throw it accurately! Humph! Just like a person who walks without looking at the road, he will easily fall! Humph!"

The little swallow patted her chest and said, "Ziwei, don't worry. When have I ever been afraid? Humph! Just like that brave little tiger, I will definitely be able to throw accurately! Humph!"

So everyone set up the equipment for pitching pots in the yard and prepared to play the game.

Yongqi first picked up an arrow, aimed at the mouth of the pot, and said, "Look at my arrow, it will definitely go in! Humph! Just like the sharpshooter who can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away, I have confidence! Humph!"

After saying that, Yongqi threw the arrow with force. It drew an arc in the air, but unfortunately, it did not fall into the pot.

Yongqi said in annoyance, "Oh, it was so close! Humph! It's like a cooked duck that flew away. What a pity! Humph!"

Ertai smiled and said, "Yongqi, don't be discouraged. This pot-tossing game is not that easy. Try it again! Humph! Just like the little kid who fell down and got up again, you must have the spirit of not admitting defeat! Humph!"

Yongqi nodded, picked up another arrow, aimed and threw it again. This time, the arrow landed steadily in the pot.

Yong Qi shouted excitedly: "Wow! It went in! Humph! Just like a climber who finally reached the top of the mountain, success! Humph!"

Everyone applauded and cheered for Yongqi.

Then, other people came forward to try to throw the pot. Some threw it in, and some didn't. Cheers and sighs were heard from time to time in the yard, and it was very lively.
