Playing to the death and cheating on you

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, Xiao Shui Lian, let's see what good things I brought you?"

He mysteriously took out a shiny bead from his arms and handed it over: "This is the night pearl. [] There are no more than five such beads in the world. There are only two in the palace, and it is said that they started from the Xia Dynasty." It was handed down, and the other three are missing. The emperor has one, and the other is mine. They were all given by the empress dowager after we were born. Because they are rare, my second brother and the others don’t have them..."

Shui Lian was younger than them, had never heard of this matter, and asked curiously: "Why doesn't your second brother have one, but you do?"

He said mysteriously: "It is said that my mother and concubine never offended the empress dowager back then, and she was quite favored by the empress dowager, so I was able to get a reward... As for the second brother's mother and concubine... it seems that the empress dowager is very unpopular..."

Shui Lian is not ignorant of who the queen mother likes and who she doesn't like.

The problem is, the empress dowager is so strict with her words that she is simply unpredictable. She never mentioned any of the harem's family members. During her lifetime, she focused on military and political affairs. As for the festival with the harem concubines, Shui Lian really didn't know anything about it.

She wanted to ask the third prince what kind of feud the empress dowager had with the second prince's mother and concubine. This was related to a major intuition in her heart, which was related to life and death, so she had to be curious, but after thinking about it, she still didn't ask.

"Xiao Shui Lian, this bead has the effect of calming the nerves, eliminating poisons, and beautifying the skin. Xiao Shui Lian, you have been frightened so much, put it next to your pillow, and you will sleep peacefully every day, and you will never have nightmares again. ..."

A luminous pearl as big as a child's fist, extremely bright, Shuilian was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, I can't take yours for such a precious thing..."

The third prince smiled and put the beads on her pillow, "Little water lotus, this is my favorite thing, and I'm usually reluctant to give it away. Here it is, you take it."

"No, I really can't have..."

"Take it if you tell me..."

…………

"Third Prince, it's time for a visit!"

A thunderbolt interrupted the push between the two.

At the door, the old eunuch, Eunuch Zhang, dragged his voice, with a strange expression on his face, and he was not polite at all: "Third Prince, the time has come."

"No way? Xiao Wang just said a few words."

"The old slave is following orders, please don't make things difficult for the third prince."
