imperial concubine

Chapter 171 Dilemma
Su Wan didn't want to come to Zhanqing Palace to enjoy fish before, not because she was in poor health and could not blow the wind; it was not because she didn't want to get involved with the Queen and Concubine Shu; but because, she knew, as long as she appeared in Zhanqing Palace, , will definitely be regarded as a point of contention by the two forces, but at that time, I will be at the mercy of the two forces at the same time.

So Su Wan didn't want to come before, but she couldn't bear the persuasion of the second prince and concubine, so Su Wan finally came.And when the queen arrived just now, she had already seen Su Wan, and she just felt that Su Wan was so ignorant!

The empress handed it over several times, and Yun Jingya even visited in person, one after another, Su Wan replied to the empress that there was no owner of the Yiliang Palace at this time, and she had to wait for the fourth prince to come back before making a decision.

Even so, the queen still endured it.Seeing Su Wan in Zhanqing Palace today, he was naturally unhappy.A few days ago you told Yun Jingya that you would wait for the fourth prince to come back, why did you suddenly side with Concubine Shu now?Naturally, he had scruples about Su Wan in his heart.

Seeing that the second concubine and Yun Jingya spoke in unison, the empress smiled and said: "Come on, take it easy, all the concubines in the harem are here, you two are talking, if you want to choose another person, who do you want to choose?" Said At this point, the queen smiled slightly: "You have to choose someone worthy of the name."

Although there were many people in Guanyu Pavilion at this time, there were not many people who could compare with Yun Jingya and the second prince and concubine.What's more, just now the queen mentioned that the name is worthy of the name, so the choice of this person must first be famous.

Yun Jingya knew what she wanted to do as soon as the queen's words came out, so she said with a smile: "My minister recommends someone, and I guarantee that the name is worthy of the name." She turned to look at the second prince and concubine, "Second prince and concubine think that Su Wan how?"

Just now when Yun Jingya came in with the queen, she also saw that Su Wan had already sat down in the Guanyu Pavilion, so she was naturally displeased: You said a few days ago that you would wait for the fourth prince to come back before making a decision, why did you suddenly become Concubine Shu today? guest of honor?He was immediately upset, thinking that Su Wan was playing tricks on him, so jealousy arose in his heart, and he wanted to take the opportunity to tease her as well.

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, the second concubine clapped her hands and laughed, "Sister Wan's reputation spreads all over the capital, and she is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs. She is a very suitable candidate. Your Highness really has a good eye."

Three days ago, the second concubine went to Yiliang Palace to invite Su Wan to enjoy fish in Zhanqing Palace, but Su Wan refused on the grounds that she was not in good health and couldn't blow air. Su Wan couldn't be seen.However, because of this, the second princess felt that Su Wan was a little shaken, so she wanted to take this opportunity to test it out.

Su Wan, who was sitting at the bottom, saw that everyone looked at him, and said with a smile: "Since Her Highness the Princess and the Second Princess think highly of Su Wan, even though Su Wan doesn't understand the drinking order, she would like to be happy with the two of you for a while." .”

Although Su Wan was smiling on her face, she secretly cried out in her heart.Sure enough, he was really targeted by two forces at the same time.Thinking about it, even if today's difficulties are over, I'm afraid that the empress and concubine Shu will inevitably make things difficult in the future.

Concubine Shu on the side also smiled and said: "That's the way to go! Now that the person has been selected, I don't know what drinking order the three of you are going to do? Are you going to shoot down, guess the number, or continue the order? "

Among the three, shooting is the most difficult, and most of the current methods are played by Du Zuan, but the real method has long been lost, so it is worth noting to play; as for guessing numbers, although it is simple, but shouting and yelling is not in line with the rules of the palace. .The last three chose to continue the order.

Seeing that the three of them chose to continue the order, the queen smiled and said: "In this case, the three of you should choose an order one by one! I will watch the battle with Concubine Shu." The queen turned her head and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu, How about letting the people in Guanyu Pavilion bet on each other, and whoever loses among the three will have a drink for the person who made the order, and a drink for the person who made the bet, too?"

The queen's words undoubtedly meant that the people in Guanyu Pavilion should choose their own sides at this time. The one who bet on Yun Jingya is naturally the one on the queen's side, and the one who bet on the second concubine is naturally one on the concubine Shu's side. As for Su Wan, I'm afraid there is no one in the palace. Will be stupid enough to bet on her.

Hearing what the queen said, Concubine Shu also smiled and said: "In this way, the people in the pavilion can also participate, which is very interesting. If so, then according to what the queen said, each concubine will detain one person."

How many people are easy to get mixed up in the harem until today?Hearing what the empress and concubine Shu said at this moment, they immediately knew that they were asking people to choose sides, so they laughed and chose their own side.

After standing and taking a look, Su Wan suddenly showed a wry smile on his face. Without exception, the people in the palace had already been divided by the two major forces, so betting at this moment was naturally betting on his side.Therefore, the pavilion was divided into two distinct factions. As for those who bet on Su Wan, none of them were there.

Concubine Shu and the Empress had expected this situation, so Concubine Shu smiled and said a few words to everyone in the Guanyu Pavilion, then turned her head and said to Su Wan: "Fourth Concubine, no one is keeping you in custody now. But what should I do?"

Originally, this kind of situation should not be asked. Since no one is betting on Su Wan, it is good that no one is there.It's just that at this time, it's not just about drinking again, it's also about the fight between the empress and concubine Shu, so it's natural to bet on one side.

Su Wan looked at the two teams who had already drawn up their lines, and smiled bitterly in her heart, but now she was in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.Sure enough, as I expected the day before yesterday, I have been regarded as an enemy by both parties.

As soon as Concubine Shu's voice fell, the empress smiled and said: "Since no one is betting on Wan'er, it's better for Wan'er to bet on herself. If Wan'er loses, besides her own cup, she will eat another three cups." Cup, what do you think?"

The queen's words seemed to save Su Wan from the siege, but in fact they set a small trap for her.If Su Wan agrees, then no matter if the second concubine wins or Yun Jingya wins, she will have to drink.In contrast, the possibility of losing is much greater.

Just as Su Wan was about to speak, Concubine Shu smiled and said, "It's so good. The name of Wan'er's talented woman has already spread all over the capital. Today is the first time I have seen Wan'er's talent. Let's start quickly! There are some in this palace. Can't wait!"

After Concubine Shu said this, Su Wan could only keep silent.Looking at the second concubine and Yun Jingya in front of her, Su Wan secretly groaned in her heart. It seemed that she had no choice but to break through this test today.

Thinking of this, Su Wan said with a smile: "Since the Empress and Concubine Shu love each other, then Su Wan will not be polite. I wonder what words the Second Prince Concubine and His Royal Highness will prepare to continue the order?"

Now that I have reached the point where there is no way to retreat, I can only grit my teeth and persist.When the time comes, he can take advantage of the situation and cause the empress and concubine Shu to fight, so that he can reap the benefits.

Yun Jingya looked at the scenery outside the Fish Watching Pavilion, said with a slight smile, "Since we are enjoying fish at Concubine Shu's place today, then there must be water if there are fish, so I will choose a word for water."

The second concubine said with a smile: "Since Your Royal Highness has chosen the character for water, I will choose the character for mountain! Wan'er, what about you?" Su Wan could only smile when she heard what the two said, "Since mountains and rivers are all If you are chosen, then Wan'er will choose a willow character!"

Su Wan knew that in the article, it was a matter of course that mountains faced water.And after the second concubine and Yun Jingya had both chosen, they asked themselves, naturally they wanted to make things difficult for themselves.

Seeing that Su Wan had also finished choosing the words, the second concubine smiled and said, "Then I'll do it first. I'm going out of Qingshan." Yun Jingya immediately said, "I'm facing Bishui." Coming over, Su Wan said with a smile, "Then I will face Luliu."

Knowing that this kind of level could not be difficult for Su Wan, the second concubine then said: "The green mountains are towering." Yun Jingya immediately understood what the second concubine wanted to do, so she also smiled and said, "Surrounded by clear water."

Su Wan frowned when he heard the drinking order of the two. It seemed that the two were going to make things difficult for themselves by adding words.But that's right, mountains and rivers are easy to talk about, but my own willow is hard to talk about.I would do the same for myself.Thinking of this, Su Wan could only sigh and say, "The green willow shakes slightly."

Seeing that everyone is getting better and better, the speed of everyone's drinking orders has also increased.

"Clear water surrounds the gate." "Green hills protrude from behind the courtyard." "Green willows sway by the lake."

"Clear water surrounds Qiankun Gate." "Green hills protrude from behind Tiandiyuan." "Green willows sway by Zhanqing Lake."

"The clear water in front of the Qiankun Gate is surrounded by thousands of years." "The green hills behind the Tiandiyuan stand out from the ages!"

This time, Su Wan remained silent.It's not that she can't be right, but even if she continues to be right like this, she will lose in the end.Because I am the weakest among the three, in that case, I might as well admit defeat earlier and leave the field.

Thinking of this, Su Wan said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Second Concubine, I lost this game. I accept the punishment!" Then she drank four glasses of wine in a row.When he put down the cup, his face was already blushing!

Su Wan wanted to borrow this cup and leave the stage, but she didn't want to. She was held back by the second princess concubine and Yun Jingya at the same time, and the queen and concubine Shu didn't allow her to leave the stage, so she could only drink one cup after another in the field.After three rounds, Su Wan could no longer stand still.

Shui Zhu hurriedly helped Su Wan back to sober up.Seeing Su Wan leave the stage, the second concubine and Yun Jingya officially started the competition.The two of them couple together, witty words are like pearls, and they don't give in to each other. After a while, the two parties in Guanyu Pavilion have already drank seven cups each.

When the competition in Guanyu Pavilion was in full swing, Su Wan, who was already drunk, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the water drops and quietly asked, "How is it going now?"

Shui Zhu's face remained unchanged, she stood aside and saw that no one was paying attention, taking the opportunity to wipe Su Wan's sweat, Shui Zhu whispered: "The second concubine and Her Royal Highness are tied, and each of them won seven rounds."

Hearing Shui Zhu's words, Su Wan nodded, and then said: "Concubine Shu will definitely make some moves in a while, and she will definitely not arrange such a big scene to get the queen drunk. You will help me to a good place in a while , just said to drink for me."

Shui Zhu nodded slightly, and began to look for the location that the princess said in the Guanyu Pavilion.
