With the help of food as a medium, the relationship between Song Jinning and Lee Seung-suan is much more comfortable than before.
But Song Jinning has been free again for a while.
You can't go out of the palace casually, and the interest in making wine has long passed, so you can't just sit in the palace every day, read a book and play cats, right
Song Jinning is also a lazy person, if it wasn't for Gu Yu's diligence, she could sit on the couch for a whole day.
And now Li Chengxuan only has her as a queen, no other concubines, even if she wants to surround the audience, she has no chance...
The days are really too busy! !
I can only go to Shoukang Palace from time to time to find the Empress Dowager Song, and play horse-hanging with her to pass the time.
It's just that I didn't expect that it's the turn of spring and summer, the weather is sunny, rainy, hot and cold, one of the two card players, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, unfortunately has a cold, and the other suffers from the old problem of dizziness, Qiqi absent.
Li Xiyan knew how to hit a horse hanging under his ears and eyes since he was a child, but even so, he still lacked one of the three.
Coincidentally, this day saw another situation where three were missing and one was missing. The Empress Dowager Song and Song Jinning were worrying, and it happened that Li Chengxuan came over to say hello.
Empress Dowager Song immediately beamed with joy, as happy as picking up a phoenix egg when she went out.
Immediately pull Li Chengxuan, and must ask him to come to the rescue.
Although Li Chengxuan didn't know how to hit a horse hanging, since the Queen Mother Song asked, how could his son not agree? Filial piety is filial piety, how can it be called filial piety if it is not filial? This superficial appearance is definitely still to be done.
Moreover, he remembered what the inner eunuch reported to him last time, saying that the empress's horse hanging technique was extremely superb, and she won more than two liang of silver in half a day's game of poker. So Li Chengxuan really wanted to 'learn and learn' how superb Song Jinning's horse hanging skills are.
Li Chengxuan does not say that he is a conceited person, but he is also extremely confident. I just think that with his intelligence, what is the use of a horse crane? Even if he is learning now, he will definitely not lose.
It's a pity that everything is often full of ideals and very skinny in reality.
Li Chengxuan is indeed a very smart student. Under the personal teaching of the Empress Dowager Song, he quickly knew how to play cards and play cards. Even the Empress Dowager Song praised him sincerely.
Complacent, Li Chengxuan quietly glanced at Song Jinning.
I saw her talking to Li Xiyan. She didn't know what she said, but the corners of her lips were raised, and there was a smile all over her face. She didn't even look at him at all.
Even so, Li Chengxuan's lofty ambition to win Song Jinning remained undiminished. Da Ma Jin Dao sat on one side of the square table, watching the Empress Dowager Song call Song Jinning and Li Xiyan to come over and hit the horse hanging.
Li Xiyan sat on the head of the Empress Dowager Song, Song Jinning sat on the head of the Empress Dowager Song, and Song Jinning sat on the head of Li Chengxuan.
The four of them started sorting, counting, drawing and looking at the cards.
Xu Shi is a novice with good luck. Li Chengxuan's first round of cards is very good. As long as there is another 20,000, it will be able to draw a card of 1, 2, 30,000.
And if this card is to be successful, he can only catch 20,000 by himself, or eat 20,000 from his family.
Li Chengxuan was originally full of confidence. He had already imagined the surprise look on the faces of the other three people present when he failed in the first round of playing horse hanging for the first time in his life.
Especially Song Jinning.
Isn't the old god in front of him these days very easy to handle? Didn't it mean that her card skills were superb, unmatched by anyone in the palace? Hmph, this time I'm going to teach her what it means to be stronger than stronger.
It's just that the 20,000 he needs is very difficult to get, and it's even more difficult to get 20,000 from Song Jinning.
Li Chengxuan had an illusion that Song Jinning knew his family's cards like the back of his hand. Naturally, he knew what cards he needed. Otherwise, how could she basically play all the 4D cards once, but only 20,000
Fortunately, Huangtian paid off. After more than a dozen rounds of cards, Li Chengxuan finally caught a 20,000 card by himself.
Li Chengxuan was overjoyed. Fearing that Song Jinning would see her, she forcibly suppressed the corners of her upturned lips, and then flipped out the extra sheet of Beifeng.
Then, I saw a hand as white as jade pick up the sheet of Beifeng, and tapped it lightly on the table.
"Nonsense!"
It was Song Jinning's smiling voice.
Lee Seung-sun: ...
As soon as he listened to the card, she immediately played the card, and it was the card he played!
The key is that he remembered that she had clearly issued a card of Beifeng before, so why is she still Hu Beifeng now
She must have done it on purpose!
But that's not all. He heard Empress Dowager Song's surprised voice again: "Ah, Ning'er, you have seven pairs of nonsense!"
Li Chengxuan still remembered what the Empress Dowager Song taught him just now, such as all one color, one dragon, and seven pairs are difficult to mess with. Therefore, the points after winning are larger than the general points.
Song Jinning turned out to be seven pairs! And she only has the card of Hu Beifeng!
Take a closer look at the cards she pushed down on the table, good guy, there is a pair of 20,000 in her family!
Lee Seung-sun: ...
It was already impossible to use words to accurately describe the complicated emotions in his heart at the moment.
At this time, Song Jinning raised her slender hand towards him again, raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has cheated you of one, two or three renminbi in this game. We just agreed before the card opening that there will be no credit for gambling debts. Please pay the money now."
Lee Seung-sun: ...
I always feel that he was tricked by Song Jinning.
Of course, he would not pay on credit, but he, a ninety-five-year-old, would still carry money with him
I had to call Zhou Jing: "Bring the silver."
The problem is that Zhou Jing is at least a fifth-rank chief internal officer, who among the internal eunuchs and palace maids would not flatter him when he was walking in the palace? There is no need to carry silver with you.
I had to go out to find the inner eunuch who was serving outside and ask for one, two or three coins.
Moreover, he thought about it, and reckoned that His Majesty would lose a lot of money today according to the posture just now, how can only one, two or three money be enough
Can't he go out every time His Majesty loses and asks him for money? So he asked the inner eunuchs serving outside the door to take out all the silver and copper coins on their bodies and give them to him.
A total of more than twenty taels of silver was collected, and all of them were held in front of Li Chengxuan.
Empress Dowager Song laughed when she saw it.
"Huang'er has all the money ready? Since that's the case, Ning'er, Yan'er, let's not be polite."
Li Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly.
Song Jinning took the one, two or three coins from Li Chengxuan's hand, and raised the corners of her lips.
Little boy, want to win my money! Let me tell you what a master is today!
So Song Jinning didn't mean to be polite to Li Chengxuan at all. Li Chengxuan was hit by all the uniformity, one-stop, blooming on the bar and so on.
So then I saw Song Jinning pushing the cards non-stop: "You're stupid. Your Majesty, please give me the money."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm fooling around again, Your Majesty, please give me the money."
Lee Seung-sun: ...
She must have done it on purpose! Otherwise, why just catch him alone!
The final outcome was that Li Chengxuan lost all of his twenty taels of silver.
Naturally, Song Jinning couldn't just let herself be fooled, she had to let the Empress Dowager Song and Li Xiyan also be fooled occasionally, right
As for Li Chengxuan, heh heh, the person who is so confident that he can beat her after just learning how to play a horse crane will still have to torture him.
Li Chengxuan is so depressed.
It's not that I feel sorry for the twenty taels of silver. To put it bluntly, even if more than twenty taels of gold fell on the ground, he would not bend down to pick it up, and he would never put more than twenty taels of silver in the corner of his eyes.
The point is that he was abused by Song Jinning!
From the beginning to the end, he didn't mess around.
No, to be precise, in fact, he has been fooled five times, but every time he happily pushes the cards and says that he is fooled, Song Jinning will also push the cards and say with a smile: "Oh, your majesty, I'm sorry, I It's crazy too."
Since Song Jinning is his family, if the two of them play cards at the same time, it can only be regarded as Song Jinning's beating, and Li Chengxuan will not get beating.
Can Lee Seung-sun, who has never been hit like this before, not be angry
He was so angry that he drank two bowls of tea after returning to the imperial study to relieve the depression in his heart just a little bit.
Then he called Zhou Jing over and told him, "Go get me a deck of cards."
In the future, when he has nothing to do, he will figure out how to play cards and how to memorize cards. He doesn't believe that he can't beat her, Song Jinning!
Song Jinning is really happy today.
Winning money is still a trivial matter, the most important thing is to see Li Chengxuan suffer.
After speaking with the Queen Mother Song and Li Xiyan, Song Jinning walked out of Shoukang Palace and returned to her own Weiyang Palace.
Under Gu Yu's strong push and insistence, Song Jinning, who is a queen of a country, now travels on foot and never takes a sedan chair.
Gu Yu's explanation for this is, Madam, you do not do enough activities on weekdays, and walking more is good for your physical and mental health.
It's fine, but what does it care about
Song Jinning expressed doubts about this. But she couldn't stand Gu Yu's constant nagging in her ear, what else could she do? Can only choose to obey.
There is a long corridor on the way from Shoukang Palace to Weiyang Palace. There are vermilion palace walls on both sides, and it is quite a feeling to walk in between.
Presumably if it is raining or snowing, it will be more enjoyable to walk here.
But when it rains, the rain splashes everywhere, and the water vapor hits the face, and when it snows, the north wind blows and the snowflakes are cold, Song Jinning thinks it's better to forget it.
Honestly stay in the house facing the window to listen to the rain, holding the stove in your arms to enjoy the snow, isn’t it delicious
Song Jinning has always walked slowly. Anyway, there is nothing to do after I go back, so I finally came out for a walk, isn't it good to look at the surrounding scenery while walking.
It's just that there are only two palace walls here...
So it was hard for Song Jinning not to notice when a handsome man walked towards him.
A pair of black long eyebrows, deep eyes, high nose bridge, light-colored lips, tall and thin.
Looking at it at a glance, one will think of the bamboo by the water and the orchid in the mountains, which can bear the words "elegant and elegant".
Song Jinning has never been resistant to this type of handsome man. Immediately after a slight pause in footsteps, he immediately raised his feet and continued to walk forward.
Gu Yu is well versed in her aesthetics, and at the moment, she secretly thought that something was wrong.
Bai Lu still had a calm expression of the presence of an old god.
She naturally also knows Song Jinning's aesthetics, but she also believes that Song Jinning is a person who knows how to do things.
As for liking to look at beautiful men, Bai Lu and Song Jinning's views on this point are also very consistent.
Why do you stop to look at beautiful flowers, trees, jewelry, and admire them sincerely, but you can’t stop to admire the beautiful men and women you see on the side of the road, and praise each other’s beauty
As long as one's mind is pure and has no evil thoughts, what is the difference between beautiful women and flowers
As for those who insinuate all kinds of yin and yang when they praise the beauty of the opposite sex, they can only say that they have dirty minds, so they regard others as dirty minds like themselves.
Song Jinning was already ten steps away from that handsome man.
The handsome man obviously saw her too, and immediately knelt down with a plop, bowing down to her.
Song Jinning looked around at the clothes he was wearing, as well as the medicine box on the eunuch's back who was kneeling behind him, and knew that this handsome man was the royal doctor in the palace.
"Get up."
After saying something with a smile, Song Jinning asked, "I don't know what to call this imperial doctor?"
"Returning to the empress's words, the servant's name is Liu Lanxi."
After answering Song Jinning's question, Liu Lanxi thanked Song Jinning for her kindness, and then dared to stand up.
Willow Orchid Creek? This name is not bad, it is quite artistic, and it fits his handsome appearance very well. The sound is also good, it does sound a bit like a glen stream flowing slowly over the pebbles at the bottom of the water.
Song Jinning looked at Liu Lanxi again with great interest.
It's a pity that Liu Lanxi didn't dare to look at her at all, and lowered her head, so Song Jinning could only see his slightly sharper jaw than other men.
"Where is Doctor Liu going?" After a pause, Song Jinning asked again.
Liu Lanxi still didn't dare to raise her head, and replied respectfully: "Returning to the empress's words, the servant girl in Taifei Hui's palace came to report that it was Taifei Hui who was not feeling well, and called the servants to take a look."
It turned out that he was going to consult Concubine Hui, no wonder the internal supervisor who followed him carried a medicine box on his back.
Song Jinning didn't ask any more questions. Nodding his head, he raised his foot and continued walking.
As for Liu Lanxi, he still respectfully stood there with his head down, waiting for Song Jinning's figure to disappear at the palace gate before he dared to move on.
