Chapter 63 Why is Jinfeng Xiaoyuan?
Qin Xiaoyuan? What's going on?
I only heard the public laughter and said, "The two little masters don't know yet, do they? The emperor just issued an order to title Qin Xiaozhu as Xiaoyuan.
Ling Xiao was stunned, he, what does he mean? Qin Meiren, oh, no, it was Qin Xiaoyuan at this moment. Hearing this, she immediately looked at Ling Xiao. It's weird no matter how you look at it.
Qin Meiren has never been spoiled. Except for being promoted to the first level when she first entered the palace, there was no movement after that, otherwise she would not let a humble upstart step on her head. Recently, I haven't even seen the emperor's face. How can he be crowned for no reason?
"Qin Xiaozhu? Pick up the order."
"Oh, yes." Qin Xiaoyuan came to her senses when she heard her father-in-law's reminder and hurriedly knelt down to accept the order. Anyway, it's not a bad thing to be promoted. It's always happy.
Ling Xiao also knelt down. When Qin Xiaoyuan took the imperial edict and sent him away, she looked happy and held the imperial edict carefully. After a moment, she looked up and asked Ling Xiao, "Ling Wanyi, isn't this something you mentioned to the emperor?"
"Of course not." Ling Xiao said frankly, "I won't be greedy for what I haven't done." She returned to her seat and recalled what had happened in the past few days.
"It's just a beauty, and she's one level higher than me. What are you arrogant about?" Suddenly, this sentence came out of my mind. Yes, this is what Xu Ying said to provoke Qin Meiren that day. Ling Xiao seemed to catch something. Is it because Feng Yuqi deliberately promoted Qin Meiren after knowing it?
Qin Xiaoyuan seemed to think of it too. She looked at Ling Xiao's face and knew that they were thinking together, so she smiled and said, "Sister Ling, what do you think? My sister is right. Your Majesty, he still protects you.
She is not Xu Ying. She opens a dyeing shop after giving a little color. She has a few catties, but she knows it very well. Of course, she wouldn't think that the emperor suddenly thought of her and suddenly sealed her. This is all to support Ling Wanyi and tell the people in the harem that he is on Ling Wanyi's side.
Ling Xiao's expression is subtle, and he can't tell whether he is sad or happy, but there seems to be a touch of comfort in his eyes.
As soon as the canonization of Qin Xiaoyuan came out, there were ripples in the harem. Some people have a big head, and the weather vane seems to be difficult to find. In dealing with the problem of Ying Changzai, it is clear that the emperor is partial to her, but now it is rumored that the emperor deliberately promoted Qin Xiaoyuan for Ling Wanyi. Isn't this Ying Chang's face? Who does the emperor love more?
Of course, for smart people, it is already clear at a glance which is higher and which is lower.
On this day, Qin Xiaoyuan came to Ling Xiao again. It happened that Lin Xuanyu was also there. When they had nothing to do, the three of them planned to make up a card game and hang themselves.
It is said that this game has recently emerged in the capital. It is very popular among the people. Many people have to play a few games after eating. There is a bet on winning or losing, which is interesting.
Slowly, it spread among dignitaries, especially many noble ladies in large families. They usually have no entertainment activities except watching operas and listening to songs. Since the "horse hanging" came out, it has been very popular with them.
And men naturally don't object. There are many women in the backyard, and they are afraid that they will have nothing to do as soon as they are idle. They happen to have something to pass the time. Their wives and concubines play cards in harmony, and they don't have time to take care of themselves. How nice! When I was free, I also found a few friends who could talk to me, and then invited one or two confidants. I don't know how happy I was.
Because there are also foreign women who come to the palace to meet, or some maids and eunuchs who go out of the palace to buy, they slowly bring this game into the palace. Of course, women in the harem are more lonely and more popular with them.
"Go to see if the strange beauty has any leisure and ask her if she would like to come here to hang the horse." In fact, Ling Xiao is not very good at playing, but he is also interested. He ordered Er Lan to go to Li Yuxuan.
"Two sisters, you have to bet on horse hanging, but it's not enough to play." Qin Xiaoyuan is a good card player. She learned it before she entered the palace. Her mother had the best bite, so she would naturally be familiar with it.
Lin Xuanyu smiled and said, "That's natural, otherwise it's boring." Although she learned from the palace people two days ago, she also found some ways and fully agreed with Qin Xiaoyuan's proposal.
"Well..." Ling Xiao was a little embarrassed and said, "Do you still want to bet? Let's just play with our sisters. Let's talk about winning or losing.
"Ling Wanyi, your words are boring. If you want to play, have fun. If you can't afford it, don't play." A cold voice came from outside the curtain. Several people turned around and waited for the curtain to be lifted. Sure enough, they saw the expressionless face of the strange beauty.
Ling Xiao was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He touched his nose and said unconvincedly, "Who can't afford to play, just gamble, say, what to bet on?"
Qin Xiaoyuan was a little surprised. She began to get close to Ling Xiao and others. She was not very clear about the temperament of several people, and she didn't expect that a small beauty dared to be so unruly to the favorite concubine Wanyi.
Lin Xuanyu was not surprised. She smiled and said to Qin Xiaoyuan, "Sister Qin, didn't you say that you often watched your mother and aunts hang themselves before entering the palace? They usually gamble or something, which is also good for our reference."
"Well, there are gambling and everything, such as silver, jewelry, etc., as long as you want." Qin Xiaoyuan seemed to be an snouch and was quite proud.
"Those things are boring and look tacky." Ling Xiao pouted and suggested, "Why don't we play something elegant?"
"Don't mention poetry, guessing riddles and so on. I won't." Momei lowered her head and played with her nails, as if she didn't care about what they were saying at all, but then she said something coldly.
Qin Xiaoyuan looked at the strange beauty with some surprise. Although a woman without talent is a virtue, after all, she is the emperor's woman. Which of the concubines in the palace can't do some poetry and songs? This strange beauty said she couldn't. She still looked so big and didn't care.
Before she could think about it, Ling Xiao said, "Okay, I don't think it's boring if I don't play with those sour literati's things." She tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I suddenly thought of a good way to play."
"What bad idea do you have? Tell me about it." Lin Xuanyu said with a smile.
"Sister, you are really, what a bad idea? I'll tell you, I'm sure you're interested." Ling Xiao was so weird that she didn't sell the key. Then she said, "If any of us loses, we will tell others a funny joke, but it must be what happened around us, how about it?"
Qin Meiren asked, "If the banker loses, it will be no problem, but what if the banker wins? The other three are all losers. Who should talk about it at this time? Or do you say all three of them?"
"Why is it so difficult? It's stone, scissors and cloth." Lin Xuanyu smiled.
"What if there is nothing funny around?" Several people thought it was good, but the strange beauty poured cold water again.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "That's okay. I don't have it around now. Let's talk about the past, but just ask for the truth. As for whether this is true or not, it is not easy for others to verify, so they can only rely on self-consciousness. It's okay to say something fake, it's just losing the fun of the game.
"This gameplay is fresh." Qin Xiaoyuan agreed and said, "But except for me, you are not very good at it. Sister Ling has never played it. If it starts immediately, it will not be fair. Well, let's play three exercises first, and then officially start, okay?"
Other people naturally agree.
These three practitioners were all won by Qin Xiaoyuan, but the others were not discouraged.
"This is just the beginning. Sister Qin, don't be too proud." Ling Xiao said unconvincedly.
"Then continue." Qin Xiaoyuan had a good time, raised her chin and said proudly.
Unexpectedly, the first thrower was thrown into Lingxiao. Of course, he lost without any suspense.
Lin Xuanyu clapped his hands and smiled, "Haha, Lord Ling, what's so funny around you? Say it quickly to make your sisters happy." Looking at Ling Xiao's bitter face, he said narrowly, "Don't think about it. This is still what you put forward. I think you must be ready, right?"
Other people were also waiting with great interest, so Ling Xiao thought about it seriously and took a sip of the waterway: "Just say, what's there?"
"I heard that a few days ago, Luo Xuanshi and Yao Concubine almost fought for a cat." Ling Xiao looked out of the window and lowered his voice. He said mysteriously and couldn't help laughing.
The two concubines almost fought for a cat... The corners of several people's mouths twitched unconsciously, and they were tickled by Ling Xiao's appearance, urging her to talk about it quickly.
"The day before yesterday, Luo Xuanshi didn't know how to find a cat from. It was extremely cute, but it happened to be liked by Yao. Who is Yao? She is a relative of the Empress Dowager. She shouts the Empress Dowager 'Auntie', although she is shaved and hot. Ling Xiao covered his mouth and smiled.
"Oh, how can you be like this? The joke hasn't been said yet. I've been laughing for a long time." Lin Xuanyu was also happy when she thought of the Empress Dowager's dist like to Yao's concubine, but she still couldn't bear to urge her.
Ling Xiao patted his chest, pressed down his smile, and continued to say, "The Yao concubine insisted on robbing the cat. Why do you say so? It turned out that it was a rare pure Persian cat. It was said that it was similar to a cat raised by Xie Guifei before. Xie Guifei liked the cat very much, but later she fell into the water and drowned. Yao wants to take the cat to the noble concubine to ask for favor.
"Although Xie Guifei is silent at present, the hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff. What's more, the emperor did not explicitly restrain her feet, and he may rise again one day. Luo Xuanshi and they are all noble concubines, so naturally they still have to serve them well. Then Luo's servant tried every way to get such a cat, and he must also give it to the noble concubine. If Yao wants to rob her, how can she be willing? Qin Xiaoyuan couldn't help asking.
"Who said no?" Ling Xiao smiled and continued to talk.
