Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

I'm rude to you, my concubine. Meng Yuzhu gave a perfunctory blessing: "I am not familiar with the palace rules, so I bumped into the empress. It is my fault. However, Wei Guiren is a nobleman. It is also unbecoming to talk to me like this. Wei Guiren is in the scene." After living in Ren Palace for so long, haven’t you learned the palace rules yet? "

Meng Yuzhu is used to being arrogant, she still has to fight with the queen, let alone Wei Zhaoning.

Wei Zhaoning was not angry after hearing such words. Perhaps it was because of the Wei family's family background, her emotions and anger were invisible, and her rank was much higher than that of the queen.

The queen obviously didn't want to hear what Meng Yuzhu had to say, so she waved her hand: "Your Majesty, please stop talking."

"Why is it that the Queen, who is so majestic, does not allow the concubines to speak? Your Majesty has no such rules." Meng Yuzhu held her temples and swayed, pretending to be a noble concubine.

"You influenced my trap."

Meng Yuzhu.
Meng Yuzhu naturally didn't believe that the queen could trap anything.

In her eyes, the queen has always been a symbol of stupidity.

Not wanting the empress to live up to her expectations, she threw a mere two or three circles before she got the little wooden pipa.

Wei Zhaoning liked the wooden pipa and gave it to her.

The queen threw another circle and caught a hairpin.

Rewarded.

The queen threw another hoop and caught a jade pendant.

The jade pendant is warm and moist, with a dragon pattern on it and the word "Jian" engraved on it.

This jade pendant was lost by the emperor during the trap.

The queen actually caught the emperor's jade pendant. Du Jiyan was not stingy and handed the jade pendant directly into the queen's hands.

Meng Yuzhu was stunned.

Good guy, you still think the queen is stupid and the queen has good luck?
It’s really what you’re looking for.

The emperor's jade pendant was also taken away by her.

Even the concubines who were watching the melon eating couldn't help but praise him.

"The Queen is worthy of being the middle palace. Look at the craftsmanship of this trap. We are really ashamed of ourselves."

"If the Queen is serious, there is nothing she can't learn."

But Meng Yuzhu said: "No one else can get anything good, only the queen has more traps. There must be a conspiracy."

Du Jiyan still had a willow ring left in his hand.

Meng Yuzhu grabbed them and folded them one by one, trying to see where the conspiracy was hidden, but unfortunately she found nothing.

The concubines began to discuss.

"The imperial concubine is too overbearing. She will destroy Du Changzai's things if she can't win."

"I can't afford it."

Meng Yuzhu blushed with shame and encouraged Tian Lingyue to give it a try.

Tian Lingyue didn't want to play at first, but couldn't bear Meng Yuzhu staring at her. After all, Meng Yuzhu was frustrated and thought Tian Lingyue could save the situation a little.

Tian Lingyue agreed, but her monthly salary was small, and she needed to take care of everything, so her money was even tighter, and she didn't have a few taels of silver in total.But I could only take out the silver and exchange it for a few willow rings.

Tried, missed.

Tried again, still failed.

Tried and tried, but the whole army was wiped out.

Tian Ling lowered his head.

Meng Yuzhu's face became even more gloomy.

The people of Changle Palace were devastated in Yongfu Palace.

Meng Yuzhu leaned on the warm couch for a long time and did not recover.

It's not just for the few taels of silver, it's just that I lost face in front of everyone.

Money is a small matter, but face is a big deal.

Tian Lingyue personally cooked barley and red date porridge and brought it to the main hall. The sweetness of the porridge spread out, filling the main hall with a sweet smell. The amber incense sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs dyed the white silk, and the sweetness was full of sweetness. With a hint of cedar's sharpness and sweetness.

Meng Yuzhu sighed: "I can't trap you, but neither can you. As long as you have some ability to trap one or two things, you can still gain face for our Changle Palace."

"It's my incompetence." Tian Lingyue knelt down holding barley and red date porridge. In the past few days, Tian Lingyue's hands were calloused while copying scriptures for the Queen Mother, and she was shaking slightly while holding the thin celadon bowl.

Cashew nut just happened to go in and report: "The emperor thought this game was fun, so he placed several porcelain and jade stones in the Taihe Palace, all of which were valuable, and asked the ladies to set traps in the Taihe Palace. Zhao agreed to spend seven taels of silver to trap one. Jade ring finger, Bao Guiren spent 30 taels of silver to set a narrow-mouthed orchid vase with foundation, Shi Xiunv spent [-] taels of silver to set a jade Ruyi, a sky blue glazed flower bottle."

Meng Yuzhu's head was buzzing, Du Jianyuan was unreliable and played a trap game.

Did the emperor learn it so quickly?

Also set up a stall in Taihe Palace?The things in Yongfu Palace are not on the market. The things in Taihe Palace are all brought from the inner treasury and are real good things.Those finger-toggle jade Ruyi and other items are all close to the Emperor. Those porcelain flower bottles are all made in-house. Many of them are unique. Any one of them can be worth dozens or hundreds of taels. The Emperor actually moved things from the inner treasury. Come out and let the concubines trap you?
Zhao promised that the dusty promise actually contained a jade ring?Is her ancestral grave on fire?

Bao Guiren, the noble man who sits counting palace bricks every day when he has nothing to do, wears a foundation orchid narrow-mouth bottle?
Rich woman Shi Jing tricked Yu Ruyi?What kind of luck is this?
How could such a good thing not include Changle Palace.

Meng Yuzhu straightened her hair and stood up instantly: "Cashew, let's go to the Taihe Palace."

"Your Majesty, are you going to the Taihe Palace?"

"Those good things can't all come cheap to those little hooves. I have to go and take a look."

"Your Majesty, the trap in Taihe Palace has ended, and all the things are gone."

Meng Yuzhu felt a sharp pain like a knife being sucked into her chest: "Why did you come to report this?"

"My slave has been inquiring about the news at the Palace of Supreme Harmony. I saw all the ladies coming out. I saw it clearly, so I ran back."

Meng Yuzhu's face turned pale.

Whether it was the Yongfu Palace trap or the Changle Palace trap, she did not take advantage.

Tian Lingyue saw that Meng Yuzhu's expression was wrong, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just lowered her head and held the barley and red date porridge obediently.

Meng Yuzhu took the porridge and took a sip, then put the bowl on the ground.

The porcelain bowl shattered on the floor, and barley splashed all over Tian Lingyue.

"You can only do these last-minute tricks. Ever since you entered Changle Palace, everything has gone wrong in Changle Palace. Who knows it's not you who is unlucky."

Tian Lingyue knelt there and did not dare to say a word.

The strong fragrance filled Changle Palace.

The red radish charcoal burns bright red.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes and took a nap. When she woke up, she found Tian Lingyue lying on the ground, carefully picking up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

The thin celadon bowl exploded on the ground, and porcelain pieces were scattered everywhere like fireworks.

Tian Lingyue was lying on her knees, picking up the fragments one by one. The sharp fragments cut her palms, and blood flowed out, falling drop by drop on the carpet in the main hall, and flowers like blood were soaked on the carpet.

After picking up the fragments, Tian Lingyue's palms were already bright red.

"You have lived in Yongfu Palace for a long time, and have you never noticed that Du Changzai has these tricks? Fortunately, you used to be with them often, and you are far from her." Meng Yuzhu lowered his eyes.

Tian Lingyue's head lowered.

Back in the side hall, Tian Lingyue's palm seemed to have a blood snake in it.

The blood spurting out made the slave Shanzhu a little panicked. He wrapped Tian Lingyue with a clean cotton cloth and ordered the young eunuch to ask for the imperial doctor. "Master has been wronged——" Shanzhu whispered.

Tian Lingyue looked at the fragments on the ground, then at the drops of blood on the floor of the side hall, as well as her bloody hands, and murmured: "My blood has helped me many times. If this time It’s not because I cut my hand, I’m afraid it won’t end so easily.”

"It's all because of that Du Changzai. The imperial concubine has suffered a loss and is angry in her heart, so she vented her anger on you."

Tian Lingyue made a shushing gesture to tell Shanzhu not to talk too much.

After all, he lives in a side hall of Changle Palace, living under the fence of others, and the walls have ears. Many words can be said to be troubles.

Du Jiyan and Shi Jing gained a lot from a trap in the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

Shi Jing was rich, so he was willing to take down the book.

After 30 taels of silver, a jade Ruyi and a sky-blue glazed flower bottle were secured. The sky-blue glazed flower bottle alone was a rare good thing.

I heard that when the late emperor had a dream on a rainy day, he saw a sky-blue vase. When he woke up, he asked the official kiln craftsmen to bake it according to the color in his dream. Dreams are the most ethereal and ethereal. , The sky blue in the late emperor's dream was difficult to grasp. The craftsmen spent two or three years firing countless bottles and jars, but they could not find the sky blue color.

Later, on the same rainy day, by chance, I got a pair of sky-blue glazed flower bottles. One of them was cracked, but this one was intact. Even the late emperor praised it when he saw it.

When Shi Jing entered the palace, his position was not promoted, so the most valuable thing he got was this flower vase.

Du Jiyan also made a fortune. She was the last one to set a trap in the Palace of Supreme Harmony. I remember that on the carpet of the Four Seas Returning to One, there was also a blue and white alum red color seawater dragon pattern golden bell bowl, and a hundred sons and a hundred blessings. A vase, a green porcelain on a white ground, a consecrated enamel peony cup on a carmine red ground, two ingots of gold ingots, ten ingots of official silver,
Du Jiyan took out four taels of silver and put it on, but found nothing.

The emperor held the tea bowl and muttered: "It's not time for me to lose my ability to catch you. Du Chang is here to let you taste the feeling of not being able to catch me."

Du Jiyan immediately took out another tael of silver and exchanged it.

Set again.

Throw it down in a circle and directly into the emperor's neck.

Everyone was stunned on the spot.

No one expected this result.

The trap is always for trapping objects, never for trapping people.

Du Jiyan didn't expect to be able to trap the emperor. Who could have imagined that he would perform so explosively.

The emperor held her wrist and rubbed it with great interest: "Du Changzai, did you do this on purpose?"

"I really didn't do it on purpose."

"Hypocritical, you obviously want me."

Du Jiyan blushed.

"Forget it, I'm not the one who can't afford to lose. I belong to you." The emperor held up her chin and stared into her eyes as clean and clear as water: "I belong to you. You won with your own ability. of."

The concubines even cast envious eyes at that time.

Zhao promised that Bao Guiren and others would look straight.

Du Jiyan was a little worried.

"Why, are you not happy?"

"Your Majesty, can you change something?"

"Ok?"

"I'm saying that the emperor belongs to the people of Chen State, not to me alone. I don't dare to monopolize it. It's purely a misunderstanding to trap the emperor. So can you give me something in exchange?"

The emperor was a little disappointed.

If it were someone else, such as Zhao Zhengyi and others, who had trapped the emperor, they would have dragged the emperor to the bridal chamber if they could not keep it safe.

Du Jiyan's coquettish look was really irritating.

She actually refused the Emperor who had clearly got it?Or is she trying to resist but still welcome?

What is this woman thinking?
The emperor was not happy. The bright light in his eyes suddenly disappeared by half. His eyelashes drooped and he asked faintly from the corner of his eye, "What do you want to exchange me for?"

"I don't have to choose my concubines, just a few taels of silver will do."

The emperor's face became darker.

She had tricked the emperor, but he didn't want it, and she said she only needed to exchange it for a few taels of silver?
The emperor felt extremely insulted: "I'll give you a chance. Let's talk again. What do you want to exchange for me?"

"That pile." Du Jiyan pointed to the ground.

There are so many things on the ground.

Blue and white with alum and red color, sea dragon pattern golden bell bowl, Baizi Baifu vase, white ground green colored porcelain, carmine ground consecrated enamel cup with peony pattern, plus gold ingot, silver ingot, Du Jiyan will receive a lifetime salary in the palace, it may not be There are so many.

The concubines were stunned.

Du Changzai really dared to ask for it.

Dare you trick the emperor once and pick anything on the floor?Financial freedom in three years?
The emperor was helpless. As an emperor, of course he couldn't be stingy.

Du Jiyan called the nanny from Yongfu Hall and borrowed two small wooden carts to transport the things back.

These two loaded carts passed through the long corridor, causing people from all over the palace to look around.

"Du Changzai is really lucky. He won such things in the Taihe Palace. Tsk tsk, they are worth hundreds of taels at least." A palace maid carrying dirty clothes lowered her head.

"The emperor is so generous. He took so many good things from the inner treasury for the ladies to play with. It would be great if the emperor could like me." A palace maid holding a powder said in a low voice.

There are so many porcelain items that the cabinets in Yongfu Hall cannot fit in them.

Those bottles, lamps, gold and silver ingots are the light that the small Yongfu Palace cannot block.

Sure enough, once you enter the palace gate and it is as deep as the sea, anything can happen.

If he focused exclusively on studying the emperor, he might not be able to figure it out, but if he focused on studying the money in the palace, Du Jiyan seemed to have found a way.

The emperor was a little depressed in the Taihe Palace.

I heard that Du Jiyan made a fortune by setting up a stall in Yongfu Palace. The emperor thought about all the things in his inner treasury and took out a few of them as bait. Wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money by then?It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, the key is to make that woman Du Jiyan suffer, so that she can't be fooled, and the emperor can't be laughed at alone.

God knows she trapped the emperor right away.

And among the concubines, each one was more accurate than the last. Even Mei Guiren, who had bad eyesight, brought back a pair of jade porcelain tea cups.

"Your Majesty, since the ring game was launched in Yongfu Hall, the ladies have been practicing day and night. After practicing for so many days, the accuracy of their hands is better than before." Gao Rang brought a bowl of black tea to the Emperor.

The sky outside the curtain is far away and the clouds are high.The palace walls are heavy.

The emperor rubbed his hands and stood in the empty hall: "I was careless. I thought that these women would only be attracted to me when they were serving me. I didn't expect that these women would work so hard for a small trap game."

"In the end, it was Du Changzai who made the profit, and Your Majesty lost it."

"Help me calculate how much I have to pay."

Gao Rang took out the abacus beads and banged them: "The blue glazed vase is worth 180 taels, the carmine red enamel cup with peony pattern is worth 60 taels, and the jade Ruyi is a tribute from other countries and is worth 130 taels." 520 taels, excluding the gold and silver ingots. If the things taken out from the inner treasury are converted together, the total is one thousand, [-] taels."

"How much silver has the emperor recovered?"

The silver coins recovered were the money used by the ladies to buy money. You don’t need to think about it to know that these are just small amounts of money.

The emperor counted the pieces one by one, and found a total of 120 taels of silver.

"Then I know, the capital is 520 taels. Excluding the 120 taels recovered, Your Majesty has lost a total of 400 taels of silver this time."
