After instructing Little Mei to prepare the bath water, Liu Xue removed her clothes and went into the water. She had played too much today and was so tired. She did not expect that these games that she was tired of in the modern world would be so fun to play here.
?? Tomorrow was the new year. It had been a long time since he had seen Little Ling. He didn't even come to visit her when she was sick. He was really heartless.
?? In fact, Shangguan Ling also wanted to visit her, but recently, for some reason, the military strength of the Kingdom of Qing was getting stronger and stronger. It had seriously affected the new dynasty and the foreign countries. Shangguan Ling had been busy investigating this matter when Liu Xue was sick, mainly to find out which country the Kingdom of Qing was going to deal with first.
?? Shangguan Chen came to visit her every few days, but every time, he would climb over the wall. He was probably the first in all the countries to climb over the wall and enter her bedroom.
?? Originally, he wanted to visit Liu Xue on New Year's Eve. However, it was nearing the end of the year and there were many miscellaneous matters in the court. He really could not find any free time.
?? Liu Xue, who had been soaking for a long time, felt that the water was a little cold. She got up, wiped the water, put on her clothes, and lay down on the bed. It was comfortable. She just didn't know how long she could enjoy such comfortable days.
?? The next day, when the sun was high up in the sky, Liu Xue slowly got up. Little Mei and the others did not wake her up. She was a patient after all. She would be fine if she slept more. Moreover, she had used up too much energy yesterday.
?? When Liu Xue came, Little Mei and the others shuttled back and forth in Liu Xue's room, busy as a bee.
?? "What happened today? Why are there so many clothes?"
?? "Niangniang, of course you don't know. The emperor is going to hold a banquet tonight and all the concubines will be there.”
?? Little Mei said as she tidied Liu Xue's clothes.
?? "Yeah, and then?"
?? "And then, of course, she dressed up beautifully.”
?? "And then."
?? Little Mei did not notice Liu Xue's gloomy face and continued,""Then, it's to attract the emperor's attention and get the emperor…Aiya, niangniang, why did you hit him?”
?? Liu Xue stretched out her hand and hit the chestnut. It was so painful that Little Mei cried for her parents. It was not an exaggeration.
?? "Little Mei, stop pretending. It doesn't hurt that much, right? You seem to have forgotten what I said before. What happens after you get the emperor's favor? The women in the harem were jealous of me and plotted to kill me. Are you satisfied?”
?? Little Mei knelt down with a bang and said anxiously,"Niangniang, I didn't mean that. I'm your dowry maid, how could I harm you?”
?? "Get up. You have seen how I look after being doted on. As you said, you are my dowry maid. You definitely don't want to see me like that, right?”
?? "Yes."
?? Little Mei got up, but she didn't dare to mention the matter of doting on him again. She let nature take its course.
?? "That's good. Do as I say. Prepare some cotton and boxes.”
?? "Yes."
?? Without asking any more questions, Xiao Mei left the room.
?? Liu Xue turned around and saw the pile of clothes. She curled her lips and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
?? "Yan."
?? "Empress, you were looking for me?"
?? "How are our chickens? In March, we'll have to eat spring chicken.”
?? "Empress, don't worry. Our chickens are living very well. It's just that this Cold Palace…"
?? Yan didn't finish her sentence. Liu Xue could imagine how smelly the Cold Palace was.
?? "Find an opportunity to get someone to clean it up. After all, the Cold Palace is very close to here. When the weather is hot, the stench will float over and it will be very disgusting.”
?? "I've already asked people to clean it up, but the Cold Palace is very big. It'll be very difficult to find those chickens after they run out.”
?? "You can arrange this. I believe you will do it well.”
?? "Thank you, Empress."
?? At this moment, Xiao Mei, who was going to get the cotton and the box, came in. Yan saw Xiao Mei come in and went out herself.
?? "Little Mei, how many people are allowed to bring to the banquet?”
?? "I don't know about that. It shouldn't be much, right?”
?? "Ask Xiao Yao to ask the other consorts how many people they brought.”
?? "Alright."
?? Little Mei put down her things and walked out.
?? Liu Xue hid the cotton in her sleeve. They would definitely not let go of such a great opportunity to embarrass herself at this banquet. She would definitely not be able to talk her way out of their mouths, so she could only force her way through. This thing came in handy.
?? Xiao Yao hurriedly ran in and said,"Replying to the Empress, each Empress should bring seven or eight servant girls."”
?? "That many?"
?? "Yes."
?? It seemed like they were comparing. There were only six of them, and they were just embarrassing themselves.
?? "Xiao Yao, ask them to come in."
?? "Yes, Empress."
?? After a while, the six of them stood in a row in front of Liu Xue.
?? "Later, Xiao Mei, Xiao Lan, Xiao Yao, and Xiao Ding, the four of you will follow me to the banquet.”
?? "How can that do?"
?? Xiao Yao was the first to call out.
?? "Xiao Yao, I'm not done yet. At such a banquet, they would definitely think of ways to make me look bad. So if such a thing really happened, I decided to play the piano.”
?? Speaking of playing the zither, Little Mei and the others 'faces turned slightly pale. They tacitly did not say anything.
?? "Those people will definitely faint from my music. At that time, we can put all the delicacies on the table into this box and bring them back. What do you think?”
?? "It's good, but we can't stand the music either.”
?? "What's the hurry? I've already thought of a countermeasure."
?? "Is that so? That's great."
?? "There's still some time before the banquet. Let's continue playing games.”
?? "Alright."
?? The competition was still tug-of-war, but because Liu Xue added," If it's a tie again, then both sides have to listen to me play the piano." The competition was even more intense than yesterday. Liu Xue's blood was boiling as she watched. She kept shouting. Even Icebreaker was jumping and shouting beside Liu Xue. He was extremely excited.
?? After Shangguan Chen had settled everything, he walked around on a whim. Unknowingly, he walked to the side of the living dead tomb. Before he entered, he heard a very noisy voice. It seemed to be Liu Xue's voice, mixed with the barking of dogs.
?? What happened?
?? Shangguan Chen exerted force on the tip of his toes and did a graceful flip. He landed safely and walked towards the source of the sound.
?? He saw a few servants pulling a rope. Little Bear and Little Ding were leading the way. Behind them were Little Yan, Little Yao, Little Mei, and Little Lan. Beside them was the excited Liu Xue and that damned dog.
?? It looked like he had recovered. Otherwise, how could he have so much energy to play?
?? After watching for a long time, he couldn't tell what they were doing. Shangguan Chen didn't disturb them and let them have their fun.
?? After a long time, some of them were exhausted. Little Ding, Little Mei, and Little Yao's ropes gradually moved towards Little Bear, and Liu Xue's cries became louder.
?? Finally, Xiao Ding and the others were defeated. The people on Little Bear's side were jumping up and down happily, while the defeated side had a bitter face, as if they had suffered a great grievance. No one noticed Shangguan Chen standing far away from them.
?? After the match ended, Liu Xue happily raised her right hand and announced Little Bear's victory. When Shangguan Chen saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up.
?? "Let's rest for a while. We'll play skipping rope later.”
?? "Alright, I'll do it. However, when will the Empress punish them?”
?? "I'll owe you this first. Let's have fun today.”
?? "Niangniang, you are speaking nonsense again."
?? Little Mei was already in a bad mood because she lost. When she heard Liu Xue's dejected words, she felt even more depressed.
?? "Niangniang, how do you play that skipping rope?”
?? Xiao Lan immediately changed the topic. Today was the new year, so she couldn't say anything unlucky.
?? "That, I'll show you.”
?? Liu Xue picked up the rope that was thrown to the side and asked the two of them to take the two ends of the rope. She taught them how to swing and how to jump inside. Little Mei's interest was piqued.
?? "I can tell that it's fun. Let's play now.”
?? "No, I'm tired. I can't play. Little Mei, why are you in such a hurry? There's plenty of time for us to play."
?? "Shall we play together?"
?? Shangguan Chen couldn't hold it in anymore. He wanted to play with it, but he had never played with it before. He didn't expect that a very ordinary rope would be so fun in Liu Xue's hands.
?? Shangguan Chen's words frightened Liu Xue and the others. They hurriedly bowed.
?? "Servant (servant) greets the emperor.”
?? "ChenQie greets the Emperor."
?? Liu Xue bowed unwillingly. A good morning was ruined just like that.
?? "Rise, all of you. Zhen sees that you are having so much fun and wants to play too. I wonder if my beloved consort agrees.”
?? "Does ChenQie have the right to say no?"
?? Liu Xue pouted and muttered softly.
?? "Since my beloved consort agrees, then let's continue playing.”
?? Liu Xue winked at them and they understood.
?? "Emperor, you came at a bad time. We are all very tired now and want to rest. Please come back tomorrow, what do you think?”
?? Shangguan Chen's expression changed when he heard that. Yan and Xiao Yao shivered in fear.
?? "Beloved Consort, what do you mean by this?"
?? Suppressing the anger in his heart, Shangguan Chen tried his best to speak in a calm tone.
?? "Emperor, you are playing with a group of servants, it is detrimental to your dignity.”
?? Shangguan Chen's expression calmed down a little. Liu Xue's words made sense. When Liu Xue saw his facial muscles relax, she heaved a sigh of relief. Asking a tiger for its skin, wasn't that courting death?
