By the time Concubine Hua returned to Yikun Palace with her head held high, Sun Miaoqing had already returned to Furong Pavilion and had a nice nap.
As soon as she stood up, Liuli took the initiative to report what was going on in the palace.
"My young master, you don't know yet. Something big happened in the Royal Garden today, and Wan Changzai, Shen Guiren and the others happened to bump into it."
"I heard that Wanchang invited the imperial physician as soon as he returned. As soon as the imperial physician left, he reported it to the Queen, saying that he was seriously ill and needed to rest for a while."
Sun Miaoqing had known about this for a long time. Zhen Huan was so smart and had seen so many schemes in just a few days after entering the palace. How could she let herself be at the forefront of the storm?
With a plug-in as useful as Wen Shichu's, it's strange that she could bear not using it.
Liuli saw that Sun Miaoqing was not very interested, so she thought of saying something that would make her interested.
Although she was not as good as Qiangwei and Linglan, the two dowry maids, in terms of love, they came in from outside the palace, and many things were not as good as hers, who had been serving in the palace since she was a child.
"Eunuch Jiang Fuhai and Jiang just came over to convey the Queen's decree. He said that starting from tomorrow night, the new mistresses who have entered the palace will prepare to sleep with the emperor."
"You are the second person to be selected this time. Wan Changzai has no such luck. You must be the first one to be favored."
Qiangwei said with a smile, "Who knows the emperor's thoughts? It may not be tomorrow, but we should be prepared to avoid panic when things happen."
Liuli also realized that what she just said was not appropriate. It would be fine if the Emperor tomorrow really turned over the little master's sign.
If you turn over someone else's, aren't you looking for trouble for yourself?
"Sister Qiangwei is right. It just so happened that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some fragrant powder over today. I will put it on you in the evening."
Sun Miaoqing knew that after Zhen Huan pretended to be ill, Shen Meizhuang was the first person to go to bed, and she was not worried about tomorrow at all.
Not to mention tomorrow, there should be no need for her to go there within the next two months, so I was very relieved.
But Liuli is so attentive...
Sun Miaoqing suddenly said, "How many taels of silver did you deposit?"
Liuli said without thinking, "Just 2...two."
"This slave deserves to die, please forgive me, young master."
Being caught gambling in the palace was a serious crime, and the punishment could range from two months of shackles to a severe punishment of forty days. After the punishment, they would be sent to the imperial mausoleum to do hard work.
But more often than not, he was beaten to death immediately after failing to survive the forty days, which is why Liuli was so scared.
Sun Miaoqing didn't know the dangers of gambling among palace maids and eunuchs. She just felt that they were all pitiful people.
There is a lot of pressure in the palace, and it is human nature to like to pursue excitement to pass the time, as long as you don't gamble excessively.
Pulling Liuli up, Sun Miaoqing asked curiously, "I heard that there is a gambling game in the palace. Whenever a new person enters the palace, many palace maids and eunuchs like to start the game in private and bet on whose sign the emperor will turn over first."
"Tell me who you bought."
Liuli said, "Of course I bought my little master."
Sun Miaoqing said, "What about the others? Who can buy the most?"
"Originally, many people bought Wan Chang Zai, but something happened to Wan Chang Zai. Most of those people bought Guiren Fucha and Guiren Shen."
Liuli spoke softer and quieter, for fear that Sun Miaoqing would be angry.
Although the young master of her family is not bad, there is always a comparison in everything. The wealthy Cha nobles and the Shen nobles have good family backgrounds and are beautiful in appearance.
Because she followed the little master, she bought two taels of silver.
But she bought four taels of silver from Shen Guiren...
Sun Miaoqing asked, "What are the odds now?"
Liuli lowered her head and said, "Reporting to my little master, the odds of buying Guiren Fucha and Guiren Shen are now two to one. An promised and Chun Chang are here, one is inconspicuous and the other is young, the odds are ten to one."
"What about buying mine?"
Liuli moved her lips and said under pressure, "The odds of buying you are eight to one..."
Suzuran became angry when she heard this, "What do these slaves mean? Where do their eyes go!"
Sun Miaoqing was not angry and directly ordered, "Linglan, give Liuli one hundred taels of silver."
Linglan nodded, it's only a hundred taels, the little master can do whatever he wants.
After a while, Linglan brought two silver ingots, fifty taels per ingot, exactly one hundred taels, and handed them to Liuli.
Sun Miaoqing said, "Take it and buy Shen Guiren."
Liuli took the silver and said, "Don't worry, little master, I will put these one hundred taels on your head in a short while, so that those short-sighted people... will buy Shen Guiren?"
Sun Miaoqing, who has shallow eyes...
