imperial concubine

Chapter 157
Everyone in the side hall held their breath without exception, watching the beans under Eunuch Li's hands separate one by one, everyone's breathing became slower and slower, until finally the quiet needle drop could be heard in the whole side hall.

Eunuch Li looked at the two piles of beans in front of him, and his throat felt a little dry. He swallowed hard and said, "In the third round, there are 22 black beans, nine soybeans, and the second princess wins."

When the second princess heard Eunuch Li's voice, a smile appeared on her face.Things really went as I expected, the further back, the more concubines in the harem followed my own wishes.This competition not only defeated Yun Jingya, but also proved that the queen has not many loyal subordinates in the harem.

Looking at the soybeans on the table, Yun Jingya was silent for a moment, then forced a smile on her face, reached out and handed the oblique moon rose hairpin in her hand to the second princess, "The second princess is really knowledgeable, Jingya admits defeat." With the smile on the face of the second princess, Yun Jingya gritted her teeth and said, "This golden hairpin belongs to the second princess now."

This golden hairpin is his favorite thing, this hairpin is what he wears the most, unexpectedly, he lost it today!Although I have a lot of reluctance in my heart, but I am willing to admit defeat, and I still want to give this hairpin to the second prince and concubine.

The second concubine on the opposite side saw Yun Jingya handing over the golden hairpin, and said quickly: "Your Highness, don't take it seriously. It was just a discussion just now. The reason why Her Highness is betting the lottery is because she is afraid that the princess will not do her best. At this time The discussion is over, the princess quickly put the gold hairpin back on it!"

I have achieved my goal today, so why really accept Yun Jingya's gold hairpin?Although the gold hairpin was a beloved item to her, it was worthless to her.

Hearing what the second concubine said, Yun Jingya wished she could agree immediately, and then inserted the hairpin on her head with her own hands.It's just that I can't do it myself.I am a majestic princess, and I have a golden mouth, so is there any reason why what I say is not counted?
Thinking of this, the anger in Yun Jingya's heart surged up, but then she was suppressed by Yun Jingya, "The second concubine was joking. Since I lost, then this hairpin is naturally yours. If you don't accept it, don't you? Is it something that looks down on me?"

The second princess is too hateful!It's already extremely reluctant to give away what she loves, but she still wants to beg her to accept it!At the end of the sentence, Yun Jingya's anger was almost uncontrollable, and her tone revealed a faint anger.

Seeing that Yun Jingya's eyes were about to burst into flames, the second princess felt extremely happy.But on the face, he still had to accept it, "His Royal Highness is too polite, I am ashamed of it!"

However, the second concubine accepted Yun Jingya's golden hairpin while saying Qianci.Seeing that the second prince concubine is acting like a good girl, Yun Jingya can't wait to ask someone to strip the second prince concubine's skin, cramp her bones and throw her bones into ashes right now!
In the end, Yun Jingya suppressed her anger, and smiled at the second concubine, "The second concubine is so knowledgeable, Jingya will definitely ask the second concubine for advice in the future, and I hope that the second concubine will not hesitate to give advice."

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, the second imperial concubine knew that she was going to find the back in the future and win the hairpin back.However, if I want to teach her a lesson this time, then this hairpin will never fall into her hands!

The empress who was sitting high on the throne looked at Yun Jingya and frowned slightly, then said with a smile, "Has everyone finished eating?" Seeing everyone nodding, the empress turned her head and asked, "What time is Xiao Lizi now?"

Su Wan, who was sitting below, could see clearly that the queen was afraid that Yun Jingya would not be able to suppress the anger in her heart, so she deliberately changed the subject.

Xiao Lizi, who was serving the queen, said: "If you want to go back to your mother, it will be a quarter to the end. The people in the Jiqing class should have finished their meals by this time."

In the morning, the Jiqing troupe only sang the joint trial of Yutangchun and then broke up, and the next play still has to be sung!What's more, the most exciting Dingjun Mountain has to be played in the finale.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Lizi's words, the queen said with a smile: "Because Jingya and the second concubine made a fuss, I almost forgot the time. Everyone, let's go! It's time to start the show after going around the Liang Pavilion!"

Although Su Wan really wanted to see if Yun Jingya could suppress the fire, but at this time the queen spoke, Su Wan could only get up angrily, then turned and walked towards the main hall of the Liang Pavilion.The empress and Yun Jingya walked in the front, but Concubine Shu and the second concubine fell behind.

Not long after, everyone returned to the main hall of the Raoliang Pavilion, beat the gongs and drums again and continued to sing.For some reason, Concubine Shu and the Empress didn't make any big moves this afternoon. The two of them just watched the play and chatted and laughed occasionally.Su Wan was disappointed.

When it was Youshi, the singing was over as soon as I left Dingjun Mountain.According to the practice in the palace, members of the Jiqing class came to the stage to receive the reward.I saw Hu Hu La La coming out from the backstage of the Rao Liang Pavilion, a large group of people knelt on the ground, "Meet the queen and all the ladies!"

The queen smiled and let them fall flat, and then asked Eunuch Li to reward him with five taels of silver. Then the queen said a few words to the troupe master, and then she was going to let the members of the Jiqing troupe Xie En retire.

At this moment, the second concubine got up and said with a smile: "Empress Empress, my concubine likes Su San's Tsing Yi very much. I want to reward her with some gadgets. I wonder if Empress Empress will agree?"

There are rules in the palace, only concubines and above are eligible to give rewards at will, if other people give rewards casually, they will be grounded to think about it.At the beginning, the palace established this rule mainly because they were afraid that future generations would be extravagant.That's why the second concubine asked the queen for permission.

The queen has encountered such a situation before, so she didn't doubt him, she nodded with a smile and said, "Go! Whatever you want to reward, just reward her."

The second concubine thanked the queen for her kindness with a smile, then walked to the Tsing Yi, asked her a few words in a soft voice, and then rewarded her in disguise.However, the second concubine reached out to touch it but couldn't find anything.

Su Wan could see clearly from the side, although the second princess did not seem to find the reward, but there was a smile on her face, without any embarrassment or anxiety at all.

Until the end, the second concubine smiled and said: "I came out in a hurry today, because I forgot to bring something." As she spoke, she reached out and took out Yun Jingya's golden hairpin that she won in the side hall at noon, "Fortunately, there is a little The thing is also your luck, and I reward you!"

Hearing what the second princess said, Su Wan was taken aback.This golden hairpin is Yun Jingya's favorite thing, and the second concubine gave it to others casually, and even gave it to a low-level actor. This is like slapping Yun Jingya in the face!

Su Wan turned her head to look, and she saw that Yun Jingya's face turned blue and red.At this moment, the second concubine turned around and said to Yun Jingya with a smile: "Your Highness, do you think it is appropriate to reward her with this?"

At this time, Su Wan finally knew why the Second Prince Concubine and Concubine Shu were the last ones after lunch. It turned out that it was for such a trip this afternoon!The golden hairpin was so rewarded by the second prince and concubine, the empress and Yun Jingya were greatly ashamed.

But even so, the queen and Yun Jingya couldn't say anything.After all, the golden hairpin has already been lost to the second concubine, no matter whether the second concubine rewards it or gives it away, even if the second concubine throws it away, Yun Jingya can't make irresponsible remarks.

Seeing the smile on the second concubine's face, Yun Jingya was furious. She immediately slapped the edge of the table and stood up, pointing to what the second concubine wanted to say. At this moment, the queen on the side asked lightly: "Jingya ,What's matter?"

Yun Jingya knew that she couldn't make irresponsible remarks now, but seeing her beloved golden hairpin in the hands of a low-level actor, she couldn't restrain her anger!
After a while, Yun Jingya suppressed her anger a little, then turned to the queen and said, "The queen mother, the sons and ministers still have to take care of the government, so I will leave first." After speaking, Yun Jingya turned around and left in a huff!

Seeing Yun Jingya leaving angrily, the queen smiled and said, "Since the play is over, everyone should go back to the palace!" After saying that, the queen got up and left the Liangliang Pavilion.

Concubine Shu and the second concubine smiled, then whispered and left from the Liangliang Pavilion.Seeing that the people in the Liang Pavilion were gradually leaving, Su Wan let out a sigh of relief, and finally escaped for a day.

Sitting on the chariot, Su Wan was still reminiscing about what happened in the Raoliang Pavilion today. She originally thought that the queen would definitely make Concubine Shu dumb again today.Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu would have such a coup in the end!
As soon as the walking chariot arrived at the gate of Yiliang Palace, Su Wan saw Zhuru looking around at the gate of the palace, and when she saw Su Wan, she rushed over in three steps at a time.

Seeing that Zhu Ru was in such a hurry, Su Wan frowned slightly, before she could speak, she heard Zhu Ru hurriedly say: "Miss, I have something very important to tell you!"

Su Wan patted her on the shoulder lightly, then got off the chariot, brought water drops and Zhuru to the quiet room, and drove away all the maids and eunuchs.Then Su Wan raised her head and asked Zhuru, "What happened to make you so anxious."

After Zhuru took a few deep breaths, she said to Zhuru: "Miss, the news came from the black clothes, it's about Huo Jing's other courtyard!"

Hearing the words Huo Jing Bieyuan, Su Wan's phoenix eyes flashed brightly, and then hurriedly asked: "Has the identity of the man in the backyard been found out? Who is he?"

This is the question Su Wan cares about the most. As long as this question can be confirmed, she will be worthy of her father, queen and queen.Tried it a few times before, but in the end it all came to nothing.Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, there was news of that person instead.

Seeing the anxious look of the lady, Zhuru hurriedly said: "Miss, according to the news in Heiyi, there is no information on that person at all. There is no birth date, name, etc. It's as if that person just appeared out of thin air." !"

Hearing this, Su Wan knew that this time, she was probably happy for nothing again, after all, she didn't have anything.Besides, if I can't get out of the palace, how can I know that the person in Huo Jing's other courtyard is the one I want to find?

When Su Wan was thinking this way, Zhu Ru's next words made her jump up immediately, "Miss, the black clothes have drawn that person's appearance."
