The three empresses who originally wore jingle bells and looked very noble, have seen their jewelry items decrease one by one...
So, Emperor Tianxi was in a good mood, so when he came to the harem for a walk, he found that several of his concubines were beaten by a little girl named Tangbao, who looked like a loser and was doubting life.
Emperor Tianxi: "..."
Emperor Tianxi deliberately did not let anyone sing outside the door.
Therefore, Tangbao and others in the room did not notice that the emperor had entered.
As for the maids in the room, when they saw the emperor, they were glanced at by Emperor Tianxi's sharp eyes and were so frightened that they knelt down with a "pop" without daring to make a sound.
Emperor Tianxi looked at his several concubines, who were so defeated that they had to take off their clothes, and didn't know what to say.
The imperial concubine raised her head and saw Emperor Tianxi, and was so frightened that she was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, he reacted the next moment and quickly stood up to salute.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor!"
The imperial concubine said, winking at Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu were also startled and quickly stood up to salute.
"Forgive me." Emperor Tianxi said nonchalantly.
Then, he shook his head and looked at his concubines as if they were fools.
I really want to ask, how unthinkable are you guys that you dare to play cards with Fuya?
Isn’t this just a rush to send money to Fuya!
"Haha, it's so fun." Emperor Tianxi said with a hint: "I remember that the imperial concubine has a trick. The red gold filigree and red enamel hair is good. You can use it as a bet, which is enough to lose..."
"The Concubine Xian has a set of twelve warm jade Kang screens, which are worth a lot of money..."
"Concubine Shu has a few pieces of Tiansi brocade and shark yarn there, which are also valuable..."
Emperor Tianxi pointed out all the good things in the hands of several empresses with a few words.
Imperial concubine: "..."
Concubine Xian: "..."
Concubine Shu: "..."
Should they feel flattered?
After all, the emperor actually remembered what good things they had.
After Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, he looked at Tangbao, and his face instantly changed into a charitable expression.
"Fuya, have a good time with the ladies. Later I will send someone to bring all the things you won to the princess's mansion." Emperor Tianxi said understandingly.
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor." Tangbao thanked him with a smile.
The imperial concubine and the others couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts.
Is the emperor afraid that they will default on their debt?
The sugar baby went to the palace and came back with a lot of things, making a small fortune.
The sequelae left behind was that several ladies in the palace swore that they would never play cards with sugar babies again in their lives.
Moreover, because this incident was widely spread in the harem, all the concubines in the palace blacklisted Sugar Baby from playing cards.
After all, no one will do a business that is guaranteed to give you money.
After the sugar baby makes a small fortune, he is waiting to make a big fortune.
As the Spring Festival comes to an end and the day for the announcement of the list gets closer, more and more gambling games are opened in the capital.
Gambling houses, large and small, began to place bets on Tangbao and the Su family.
"Sister Fuya, I bet all my personal money on you to win!" Xia Siya said happily: "Whether my dowry money can be increased several times depends on you."
At this time, Xia Siya, Tangbao, and Bai Shuqing were sitting in the teahouse drinking tea.
After hearing what Xia Siya said, Tangbao said, "Sister Siya, how are you preparing your dowry? Has the date been set?"
"It's decided, next month." Xia Siya said.
After saying that, he suddenly sighed.
"I'm getting married, and I don't know if my nephews can come to marry me?" Xia Siya said.
Xia Siya said this, but she knew in her heart that she would definitely not come.
After all, the capital is so far away from Fengqi County, and Da Pan and others still have to study.
After listening to Xia Siya's words, Tangbao thought about it.
How about...let a group of your nephews come to the capital for a trip?
Furthermore, I want to open a workshop in the capital, and I don’t know if I can rush back when my third sister-in-law gives birth?
If they can't make it back, the third brother and the third sister-in-law will definitely be afraid.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, why not let the third brother and the third sister-in-law come to the capital...
What's more, the third brother still needs to come forward to open a workshop...
For a time, various thoughts flashed through Tangbao's mind.
"Sister Fuya, how are you doing with your embroidery on my wedding dress?" Xia Siya cheered up and asked.
Although most brides embroider their wedding dresses themselves, this is only the practice of small families.
Many girls from wealthy families have highly skilled embroiderers, and after the embroidery is almost done, they will seal the stitches themselves and treat it as their own embroidery.
In this situation, everyone can be considered as tacitly understanding each other and acquiescing to each other.
Even those with noble family backgrounds would directly ask the embroiderers from the palace's clothing bureau to embroider their wedding dresses.
Of course, it is an honor to wear a wedding dress embroidered by the palace's clothing bureau.
Xia Siya had such an embroidery teller like Sugar Baby by her side, so naturally she didn't want to do it herself.
Anyway, as long as she embroiders a few stitches at the end and seals the stitches, that's all.
After hearing Xia Siya's words, Tangbao said absently: "The embroidery will be done soon."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Shuqing.
"Has your third brother been peaceful recently?" Tangbao asked suspiciously.
Bai Shuqing's eyes dodge for a moment.
"Why do you always doubt my third brother?"
Tangbao thought for a while and said, "I think your third brother has a suspicious appearance. Is that okay?"
Bai Shuqing was so angry that she glared at Tangbao and said, "Anyway, you are discriminating against my third brother! Even if my third brother is not as good-looking as His Highness, he is still the most handsome in the world!"
"Besides, at my third brother's age, even if there are a few people in the room, it's normal."
Tangbao quickly asked: "So, there is someone in your third brother's house?"
Xia Siya's expression changed, and she slapped the table with "Pa!"
"Really?" Xia Siya asked aggressively.
It seemed as if Bai Shuqing could just nod her head and she could knock on the door.
Bai Shuqing was startled.
"Of course it's a lie!" Bai Shuqing said quickly: "My third brother is about to get married, how can he accept someone from the house?"
After saying that, he said again: "To tell you the truth, my eldest aunt arranged for my third brother to have two rooms with each other, but he refused! How about it? My third brother is good enough for you.
All right?"
The last words were said to Xia Siya.
Xia Siya put away her aura and said matter-of-factly: "Isn't this what he should do? If he accepts people in the house when he is about to get married, wouldn't he be too scumbag?"
Bai Shuqing: "..."
I always feel that my glamorous third brother is at a huge disadvantage for marrying such a vulgar woman like Xia Siya.
After failing to get married, if something went wrong, he would be beaten again.
But Tangbao had an incredible expression on his face and said, "Your third brother is getting married. What does your aunt mean by arranging a marriage for your third brother? Deliberately causing trouble for the bride?"
"Of course not, that..." Bai Shuqing glanced at Tangbao and hesitated for a moment.
Then, hesitantly, he said: "Actually, I overheard my eldest aunt and grandmother saying that they were afraid that my third brother would not understand anything and make a joke on their wedding night, so they wanted my third brother to learn first..."
When Bai Shuqing said this, her face turned red.
Sugar baby: "..."
Somewhat speechless.
Rich families seem to have such bloody rules, and the palace seems to have them too...
