Chapter 98 Demon Pot



Shangguan Chengjing didn't understand either, but there was no time for him to figure it out, so the game continued.

Shangguan Chengjing was not discouraged, but became more and more courageous, and Zhai Jingxuan's expectations for him were rekindled.

Right at this moment.

[Big brother won't kick the ball into the red team's goal, right? ]

Shangguan Chengjing was standing near the red team's goal, intending to pass the ball to his teammates, but suddenly, he kicked the ball the wrong way...

The whole place fell silent again.

This time there was complete silence.

Seeing Zhao Ying's grim expression, Zheng Miaomiao advised, "It doesn't matter if Brother Jing can't get the glass pot. It's not a good thing anyway. It just looks good."

Zhao Ying asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Zheng Miaomiao whispered, "Have you ever heard of Prince Zhuang of Wei and his favorite concubine, Xiao Liu?"

Zhao Ying nodded. "The notorious tyrant concubine, how could I not know this?"

"You only know one side of the story. Little Liu has a cousin, Big Liu, who was also the original queen of King Zhuang of Wei. Although they were sisters, they were treated very differently. Little Liu was extremely favored, and she was arrogant and domineering. The entire court was not used to her. Perhaps the officials were too resentful. Little Liu was favored for only three years before she contracted an incurable disease."

"Before she died, Little Liu specifically called Big Liu over and gave her a pair of glass pots. She said all her blessings were due to the glass pots, and after her death, she wished to give the glass pots to Big Liu, hoping that Big Liu would inherit her legacy and carry forward the Liu family's prosperity."

"Lady Liu was unwilling to believe such nonsense, but she took the glass pot back to her bedroom. That night, King Zhuang of Wei, who had never visited her before, actually came to see her for the first time."

Zhao Ying: "What happened next?"

"Later, Mrs. Liu really did become as favored as Mrs. Liu, but fate was not eternal. Mrs. Liu's son drowned in the palace's lotus pond. Mrs. Liu, deeply grateful for Mrs. Liu's kindness, took Mrs. Liu's orphan into her care."

"Later, it was praised in history books that although Liu Shi and King Wen of Wei were not biological children, they were closer than biological parents."

"In my opinion, this pot is a demon pot, designed to seduce people. Jing'er is still young, so it's better for him to stay away from such dirty things."

Zhao Ying listened and agreed with it deeply. She raised her eyes to look at the field and was suddenly shocked. Where was Chengjing?

Shangguan Chengjing raised his hand to signal a pause, and then in full view of everyone, he walked to the viewing area and, despite his younger brothers and sisters' attempts to stop him, forcibly carried Shangguan Qingyue away.

Shangguan Qingyue did not resist either.

Shangguan Qingwan, Shangguan Bailin, and Shangguan Qiyou followed closely behind.

Shangguan Chengjing found a secluded spot, put Shangguan Qingyue down, and said through gritted teeth, "Shangguan Qingyue, what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"

His parents finally gave him another chance and came to watch his game.

He can win this time! He doesn't want to disappoint his parents again.

Shangguan Chengjing was not far from Shangguan Qingyue, so of course he heard Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts.

Shangguan Qingyue folded his arms and snorted, "No!"

Shangguan Chengjing thought Shangguan Qingyue was just a two-year-old kid, and he could be coaxed into being fine, so he softened his tone and said, "Yue'er, big brother apologizes to you. Big brother didn't mean to forget your birthday."

"The prize for the Cuju competition is a pair of two glass pots. Big brother originally wanted you and Qing'er to get one each."

Shangguan Qingyue curled his lips, "I don't want the same gift as everyone else!"

"What do you mean?"

Shangguan Qingyue raised her little hand and clenched her fist, [I want them all!]

Shangguan Chengjing: ...

Shangguan Chengjing considered it seriously and agreed.

The two were about to go back. Shangguan Qingyue was just delaying the attack. She had to go back to disturb Shangguan Chengjing. She had bet a lot of money on him.

Unexpectedly, perhaps Shangguan Chengjing was not destined to die, and Zhao Ying came to find him.

Zhao Ying saw that the situation on the court was not right and was worried that Shangguan Chengjing would lose the game and arouse public anger. However, she was not afraid because her Yue'er was still young and it was not worth hurting her Yue'er for a lively event.

Zhao Ying picked up Shangguan Qingyue and said, "Yuer, come home with mother."

Shangguan Qingyue tugged at the corner of his clothes and lowered his head, "Mother, I don't want to leave."

Zhao Ying comforted him, "Yue'er, come back with me. I'll make you your favorite cheesecake, okay?"

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up. She was still hesitant and hesitant. Shangguan Chengjing, who was standing beside her, saw that he had a chance to send Shangguan Qingyue away. He didn't care that Zhao Ying was about to leave and hurriedly said, "Mother, since Yue'er doesn't want to eat, then you can make it for me. I'll eat it!"

Shangguan Qingyue immediately hugged Zhao Ying and protected the food. [Don't give it to big brother, let Yue'er eat it. Yue'er will go back with mother now!]

After she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue and made faces at Shangguan Chengjing, "Lululu, when you come back I'll eat it all and won't leave a single piece for you!"

Shangguan Chengjing sneered and raised his hand to rub the little guy's head.

What a little kid, he fell for the trick easily.

Zhao Ying then gave Shangguan Chengjing a few instructions, and when he turned to leave, he met three other "little monkeys" at the corner, and Zhao Ying took them all back.

No one noticed that a small figure was hiding in the bushes, staring at Shangguan Qingyue with gritted teeth.

Without Shangguan Qingyue, Shangguan Chengjing would have won as a matter of course.

Shangguan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave orders to reward the teachers and sparring partners who taught Shangguan Chengjing Cuju generously.

Zhai Jingxuan held a pile of banknotes in her arms, and it was almost unbelievable that Shangguan Chengjing actually won.

Did she win so much money too?

Some were happy and some were sad. Others who bet on Shangguan Chengjing to lose the game cursed and howled, but none of them were short of money, so they just vented their anger.

Shangguan Chengjing received the pair of glass pots, which were placed in a beautiful and exquisite box. Shangguan Qing'er came over and asked in surprise, "Big brother, are these the glass pots you wanted to give me?"

Shangguan Chengjing remembered what he had promised Shangguan Qingyue. Seeing Shangguan Qing'er's expectant face, he was a little unable to say it. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said it.

"Qing'er, I can't give you this pot anymore. Can I give you another gift?"

Shangguan Qing'er asked knowingly, "Big Brother, you clearly promised me, how can you go back on your word?"

Shangguan Chengjing was also very conflicted and began to regret why he spoke so hastily and told others about it. Now he could only persuade Shangguan Qing'er to give up. He didn't even think about asking Shangguan Qingyue to give up. It was impossible.

"Qing'er, brother promised you that he would give you a more beautiful gift."

Shangguan Qing'er was silent for a while, then suddenly nodded.

Shangguan Chengjing was overjoyed and was about to leave with Shangguan Qing'er, but Gao Qi called him over. Shangguan Chengjing put the glass pot aside, gave Shangguan Qing'er a few words of advice, and left.

After seeing everyone leave, Shangguan Qing'er slowly climbed onto the table and pretended to push the glass pot to the ground.

With a "click".

Shangguan Qing'er looked at the fragments on the ground and whispered, "If I can't get it, no one else can..."
