Chapter 795
Originally, Concubine Li wanted to fight the landlord, but now there is more Min Jieyu, so fighting the landlord turned into running fast.
Four people around a table.
Min Jieyu said cautiously, "My concubine has never played this before, I'm afraid it will be a hindrance."
Xiao Xixi: "It's okay, play two laps first, learn while playing, and you will learn soon."
Yao Jieyu shuffled the cards quickly, and then began to draw cards in turn.
Min Jieyu really doesn't know how to play at all. She watches how others do it, and learns how to do it herself.
All three deliberately slowed down the speed of playing cards so that Min Jieyu could keep up.
Min Jieyu has a smart mind and a delicate mind. After playing cards in two laps, she successfully mastered the basic rules of playing cards.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the card table became harmonious, Yao Jieyu couldn't hold back the gossip soul in her heart and asked tentatively.
"Did your concubine slept well last night?"
Xiao Xixi looked at the cards in her hand and said casually, "It's okay."
Yao Jieyu: "My concubine saw you in a bad mood just now, and thought you didn't rest well."
Min Jieyu glanced at her and said warmly, "It's cold now and people tend to get sleepy, which is normal."
Yao Jieyu smiled shyly: "Yes."
When she finally picked up her words, her head was cut off like this, and she was silently sad.
Xiao Xixi seized the opportunity and gave all the Shunzi in her hand in one go.
she won!
Min Jieyu praised: "The imperial concubine's card is really good."
Xiao Xixi smiled proudly: "Ben Gong has never lost in the game of cards, come here, give me the money!"
The three of them paid for it.
Concubine Li's action of paying money is extraordinarily skilled, and she is so skilled that she feels sad.
Xiao Xixi collected the money and waved her little hand: "Continue!"
Yao Jieyu didn't give up, and while drawing cards, she began to slap on the side, wanting to inquire about what happened in the Yingfu Palace last night.
But every time she opened her mouth, she would always be blocked by Min Jieyu without a trace.
If it was replaced by a short-tempered person, it is estimated that he would get angry immediately, but Yao Jieyu has always been a person who has no temper, even if she is depressed, she does not dare to show it.
In the end, Concubine Li couldn't stand it any longer, and said directly to the concubine.
"My concubine heard that something happened to Yingfu Palace last night, and wanted to know what happened?"
Xiao Xixi's action of drawing cards stopped.
She first looked at Concubine Li, and then at Yao Jieyu, who was looking forward to it. Only then did she realize that the two came to her not to play cards, but to investigate gossip!
Concubine Li: "If you find it inconvenient to say, just be your concubine and don't ask."
Xiao Xixi took out a card and played it out, saying, "You guys came to Ben Gong to ask about this, do you think Concubine Jing's death is strange?"
For the sake of this, Concubine Li simply stopped going around in circles and admitted it frankly.
"Yes."
Xiao Xixi: "This palace can only tell you that Concubine Jing's self-inflicted sins, as for other things, you don't need to know."
A sentence of self-inflicted sin has already explained everything.
Li Fei and Yao Jieyu stopped asking questions and began to concentrate on playing cards.
However, in the next moment, the imperial concubine threw out the last two cards and smiled.
"Bengong wins again."
Concubine Li: "..."
Holy crap, this woman quietly ran out all the cards while they were listening to the gossip!
So sinister!
Xiao Xixi stretched out her small hand: "Give me the money."
Concubine Li angrily pushed the money over, gritted her teeth and said, "Come again!"
Even if she can't win Concubine Xiao, she doesn't believe that even this noble concubine from a small remote country can't win!
...
Luo Qinghan was called to Changle Palace early in the morning.
The Empress Dowager was no longer as kind to him as she used to be, and even felt a little dissatisfied with him in her heart.
But for the sake of the overall situation, she still tried her best to maintain the relationship between the two sides.
She didn't want to break this balance unless she had to.
The Empress Dowager: "Aijia heard that Concubine Jing passed away last night. What's going on?"
Luo Qinghan knew that she would ask this question long ago, and directly told what Concubine Jing had done.
After the Empress Dowager finished listening, she was silent for a moment before speaking.
"You can put Concubine Jing into the cold palace or send it to Ziyun Nunnery. Why did you kill her? After all, she is the daughter of the Jing family, and she died in the palace so inexplicably. What do you want the Jing family to think? "
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "What they think is their business, I have a steel scale in my heart."
The Empress Dowager looked at him like this and guessed that he was someone who didn't want to use the Jing family anymore.
He wanted to completely erase the Jing family from the aristocratic family circle in Shengjing City.
The easiest and most effective way to erase an aristocratic family is to prevent members of their family from having the opportunity to become officials in the dynasty.
As long as the three generations of this family have never been an official, then they will naturally disappear from the ranks of the aristocratic family.
The Empress Dowager sighed: "Concubine Jing's grandfather is your father's teacher. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a lifelong father. Can't you look at your father's face and leave a way for the Jing family to survive?"
Luo Qinghan: "It is because of my father's face that I didn't show all the things that Concubine Jing had done, and reserved the last bit of dignity for her."
The Empress Dowager gave him a deep look and persuaded earnestly.
"The Jing family is the representative of the old officials in the court. The Ai family hopes that when you deal with the Jing family, you can pay a little attention to the thoughts of those old ministers, and don't let the hearts of those old ministers cool."
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and nodded: "Grandson understands."
The Empress Dowager sighed: "My family is tired."
Luo Qinghan stood up: "Grandma is resting, grandson will come to see you another day."
Seeing the tall and straight back of his departure, the Empress Dowager was in a complicated mood.
"I thought it was a nostalgic, but now it seems that he is even more cold-hearted than his father."
Although Concubine Jing was not favored, she came out of the East Palace anyway, and had been with him for several years, but he didn't even recite any old feelings, and killed him if he wanted to.
In this way, Lu Xuanshi was lucky and at least saved a small life.
Nvshi Kong hurriedly lowered her head and pretended not to hear this.
The Empress Dowager looked at her and commanded in a low voice.
"Let someone send a letter to the Lu family, saying that there is no need to mention the matter of sending Xinyao to the palace. Let them find another good family for Xinyao."
The Lu family actually prepared two girls to enter the palace, and Lu Xuanshi was just one of them. Now that Lu Xuanshi was put into the cold palace, and there was no hope of recovery, the Lu family wanted to send another girl in.
Before, when the relatives of the clan entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings, the people of the Lu family mentioned this matter in front of the Queen Mother.
At that time, the Great Empress Dowager was still a little hesitant, so she just said to take another look and tell them not to worry.
Now that Concubine Jing has happened, it can be regarded as helping her make a decision.
The queen's position is tempting, but she has to fight for it.
Now that the emperor has made it clear that he does not want to marry the daughter of the Lu family, it will not help no matter how many people he sends in, and he will follow in the footsteps of Concubine Jing.
