Your Majesty, congratulations on your birthday!

Chapter 14 Billiards
"Come on, according to my drawings, make me such a big table. Look clearly, there must be such a high fence around, a hole this big at the four corners, and the longer side, There should also be a hole in the middle of each side. Look carefully." Xie Xique instructed while gesticulating.

In order to draw this blueprint, Xie Xique thought of many ways.In modern times, brush calligraphy has been practiced, but she can't do the difficult technical work of drawing with a brush.In this era, there are no such things as ballpoint pens, pencils, and pens. This painting was drawn by her begging the national teacher Jing Yun to use the thinnest brush. The proportions of the table were carefully calculated by Xie Xique.

I ordered these people to make tables, and I also asked some people to make small balls.Hey, life is alive, why don't you need money!Fortunately, there is Hao Tianen's money bag!
"It's coming soon, there's work to do. Every small ball you make is a drop of money!" The money still needs to be saved, Xie Xique muttered in a low voice.It's just that she didn't say that the price she quoted to Hao Tian'en was one tael of silver for a small ball.

"Sister Magpie, what's the use of making these things?" the little eunuchs who gathered around asked curiously.Xie Xique is now a veritable celebrity in the palace. Not only can she make money, but she also provides opportunities for others to make money. The maids and eunuchs all like her very much.

"Well, when I make it, you will naturally know." Xie Magpie said happily, since that day, everything has gone smoothly.Because of her figure on the mahjong table, it is now booming again.A few clever girls and eunuchs, because of Xie Xique's teaching, have already mastered various styles of play, and their level is already comparable to Xie Xique's.In this way, even without Xie Xique's participation, the gambling business would not decline.

In a few days, billiards will be on the market, and the palace will naturally be beaming again.

This time, Xie Xique decided to sell billiards to various palaces, so that those palace masters who want to play but are unwilling to come out to play with everyone can also play together.

In order to prevent someone from learning how to make billiards by themselves, Xie Xique also asked Hao Tianen to order that only Xie Xique has the right to make billiards.This is called a patent, haha.

The next thing to do is publicity.To promote the billiard hall that is about to open, and at the same time introduce your own brand to the ladies of the palace.

Xie Magpie happily jumped on the bluestone slab. In a few days, she will be a little rich woman again!

"Ah..." A scream came from Xie Magpie.Because she was too excited, she didn't look ahead when she walked. Of course, the person who collided with her came out of the small door on the right, and she couldn't see it even if she wanted to.

"Bold slave, don't you have eyes?" The little eunuch looked at Xie Xique with a fierce look.

Depend on!Obviously it was you eunuch who rushed out and bumped into me, but now you dare to be so arrogant, you must be the dog leg of some arrogant lady.

"Oh, my father-in-law, it was you who suddenly came out of the small door and bumped into me, how dare you come and scold me first? There really is every master and slave!" Of course, Xie Xique didn't know who his master was. Who, but she has such a temper, and the slaves are so arrogant, then the master will definitely not be any better!
"You..." The little eunuch was so angry that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to say, "You are so bold, you dare to insult the empress!"

Hmph, what can I do if I insult you!Fortunately, Lian'er also said that the Empress is a good person, Xie Xique sees it, it's nothing more than that.

Xie Xique didn't want to pay attention to this kind of unreasonable little eunuch anymore, he was not cute at all, so he swaggered past him.

"You...you are so arrogant. I want to sue the empress to punish you. Xie Xique, you wait for me..." The little eunuch actually called out her name.Xie Xique was even secretly amused, even the people around the empress knew about her, so after thinking about it, her reputation in the palace was already very prosperous.

Well, father-in-law, if you want to file a complaint, then go ahead, Xie Xique wants to meet the legendary good-tempered empress Dou Xiaoyun.

As soon as she got back to the yard, Lian'er hurried out to meet Xie Xique.

"Magpie, come quickly, someone is looking for you." Lian'er looked a little flustered, Xie Xie subconsciously felt that the person coming would not be a good person.

"Who is it?" Xie Xique was half-pushed into the room by Lian Er, and did not forget to ask the identity of the person before entering.

"Concubine Hua's." Lian Er gave her a careful look, and pushed her in.

"Hi, um, hello..." Xie Xique looked at the little girl in front of her who was about the same age as Lian Er, and felt that she looked familiar but didn't know how to address her, so she had to give her a modern greeting.

"Hello, Sister Magpie." The little maid saw Magpie and bowed to him.

Oh my god, Xie Magpie almost felt dazzled.Isn't this Concubine Hua always the most arrogant and domineering?Why is her maid so polite?

"Hehe, hehe, hello sister." Xie Xique followed suit and bowed down to the other party.The so-called slap is not afraid of smiling people, if people treat you politely, of course you should return them a gift.

"My mother has ordered that I want to find my sister to go to the Hall of Beauty to catch up on the old days." The little maid spoke in a soft voice.

Reminiscing about the past?Xie Xique felt that her ears were deaf again. When did she and Concubine Hua have an old relationship?
"Okay, then sister, you can lead the way." Since everyone has already come to the door, she should be respectful and obedient, "Sister, what do you call me?" Would love to play pool.

"Oh, my name is Fu'er, and I'm the concubine Hua's close maid." The little maid's self-cultivation is really good, and she has been very gentle and pleasant in her words since just now.

"Oh, Sister Fu'er, I don't know why the Concubine Hua wants me here?" Knowing myself and the enemy, I will win all battles, if I go to see Concubine Hua in such a daze, will I be eaten by her for no reason? Although her flesh can't live a long life, she still has to be careful.

"Oh, Concubine Hua wants to ask Miss Magpie something." The honest Fu'er said.

"For example?" Xie Xique opened his eyes wide and asked.

"It's the fun things you invented, and the concubine Hua also wants to play with them." The honest Fu'er continued.

"Oh, that's how it is." Xie Xique finally understood that Concubine Hua was worthy of being from the General's Mansion, and her playful nature couldn't be surrounded by the palace walls.
