Chapter 78 Things are going to change in the harem!
In just one night, all the concubines in the harem knew that Sikong Yan had a big fight with Shen Chaoyan after he went to the Biyan Palace yesterday. Long Yan was furious and left in anger!
That night, Sikong Yan turned over Shen Qingwan's card.
What happened last night was exaggerated by the palace maids and eunuchs, and then spread throughout the harem, and it was summarized into one sentence-
Shen Chaoyan has fallen out of favor!
Xie Cairen lived with Shen Chaoyan. Early this morning, she was called away by several young ladies in the harem.
Although the result is obvious, everyone wants to dig out more details.
After all, Shen Chaoyan has been in the limelight for some time.
Sikong Yan almost never summoned other concubines to sleep with him except her.
This time, she finally fell into a big trap!
Especially when they heard that Shen Chaoyan cried bitterly and couldn't sleep all night after Sikong Yan left, these women felt very happy!
However, some are happy while others are sad! When
Xue Youran heard about the quarrel between Shen Chaoyan and Sikong Yan, she immediately ran from Guiyun Palace to see her, and asked her personal maid Zi Su to prepare her favorite cakes.
However, when Xue Youran entered Feiyan Palace, she found that Shen Chaoyan was not as heartbroken as the rumors in the palace said.
At this moment, she was playing pot toss with Fu Lushou and Lugua.
Several people had long strips of paper stuck under their eyes, and the number of strips on each person's face was different, which looked particularly funny.
At this time, Lugua held a feather arrow in his hand, and aimed at the mouth of the pot ten feet away again and again, and finally threw the arrow out.
However, it missed.
"Stick notes! Stick notes!"
Lugua was quite decisive. With a face full of notes, he walked towards the referee.
The referee was a little palace maid who was not participating in the competition.
She looked at Lugua who leaned her face over, and immediately picked up a note from the tray at hand, and skillfully stuck it on Lugua's face.
"Empress, it's your turn next."
Shen Chaoyan rubbed her hands, picked up the feather arrow, aimed it at the mouth of the pot, and then threw it out.
The arrow hit the mouth of the pot and was bounced out again.
"I missed!"
Shen Chaoyan didn't perform well this time. Just as she was about to stick the notes, she turned her eyes and saw Xue Youran standing at the door of the palace.
She immediately raised her eyebrows and waved to Xue Youran with a smile, "Sister Xue, come and play pitcher with me!"
Xue Youran saw that Shen Chaoyan was in good condition, and stepped forward with a smile, "People outside are saying that you have fallen out of favor and are crying. I was worried that you would lose your appetite, so I brought some snacks to see you. But you are here playing pitcher!"
"Snacks? What snacks?" Shen Chaoyan's eyes lit up. After playing for so long, she was indeed a little hungry.
"Let's sit down and talk while we eat. I have a lot of questions in my heart waiting for you to answer!"
"Okay." Shen Chaoyan pulled Xue Youran to sit down and have some snacks, and also told her that she and Sikong Yan were just having a small quarrel, and it was not as serious as the rumors outside.
As for the fact that she and the tyrant had played along and set a trap for Shen Qingwan, she did not mention it.
After all, walls have ears, Sikong Yu and Shen Qingwan were very cautious, and they could not take it lightly.
Xue Youran was relieved to see that she was in good condition, "I'm glad you're okay, but it's really strange that Shen Qingwan is so favored all of a sudden."
Shen Chaoyan was very open-minded, took a sip of tea, and waved her hand nonchalantly, "Oh! Men, don't they all like new things and hate old things? As long as the money is in place, it doesn't matter!"
Xue Youran was amused by her expression, "I'm glad you can be open-minded. There are so many women in the harem. The emperor's favor is indeed as you said, far less real than gold, silver and jewelry."
"It's common for women in the harem to fight for favor and get hurt. But I think Sister Xue is very clear-headed. Don't you think Sister Xue has no intention of competing for favor?"
Xue Youran shook her head and looked towards the north. She didn't know what she was thinking about, her eyes lit up, "If I had a choice, I would rather go to the border battlefield."
Now she is trapped within the palace walls, with martial arts but unable to display them. She is really depressed.
Shen Chaoyan reached out and held Xue Youran's hand, "Sister Xue is an ambitious person. I believe that one day, I will be able to see you riding a horse and galloping freely like the wind!"
Free as the wind, what a fascinating word!
Xue Youran lowered her head and looked at her hand covering the back of her hand. Her heart warmed and she nodded vigorously, "Yes, I believe that there will always be such a day!"
Thinking of the scene of galloping on horseback in the past, she still felt her blood boiling.
"Sister Xue, I'm full. Do you want to play pot-tossing with us?"
"It's not very good. After all, I..."
Before Xue Youran finished her refusal, Shen Chaoyan had already pulled her over and stuffed a feather arrow directly into her, "Don't worry, pot-tossing is very simple. You just need to aim at the mouth of the pot and shoot the arrow..."
"Swish"!
Before she finished her words, Xue Youran raised her hand and threw the arrow lightly. The feather arrow hit the mouth of the pot.
Shen Chaoyan, "..."
Xue Youran looked at her stunned expression, spread his hands, and continued what he had just said, "After all, I never miss a shot, and playing with you guys seems like bullying."
"We are also very powerful, okay! Come on!" Shen Chaoyan was not convinced, and passed another feather arrow over.
'Swish'!
The arrow fell into the pot again, not even touching the mouth of the pot.
Xue Youran clapped her hands, her eyes swept over Shen Chaoyan and her servant, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs behind them, and said with a smile, "Come on, as long as any one of you in the Feiyan Palace hits the target, you win."
Her words successfully aroused Shen Chaoyan's fighting spirit, "Come on, let's play together! If any of you hits the target, I will give you a big reward!"
When they heard that there was a reward, everyone's enthusiasm rose, and one after another stepped forward to challenge.
However, so many of them were no match for Xue Youran, and soon, their faces were covered with notes.
Laughter came from the palace from time to time.
And the road outside the Feiyan Palace was cold and empty.
The palace maids and eunuchs who originally came to inquire about the news have disappeared.
Now, they all swarmed to Shen Qingwan's Jinhua Palace.
Shen Qingwan had just returned from the emperor's bedchamber, and the emperor's rewards followed.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were peeking at the door were all staring with wide eyes.
Jade, agate, luminous pearls, silk, satin, and red coral were sent into the Jinhua Palace one after another.
It can be seen that the rewards are more than those of Concubine Hua before!
My dear seventh uncle!
The harem is about to change!
Shen Chaoyan is no longer favored, and everyone guessed that she was the most likely candidate for the queen.
Now, Shen Qingwan's rise has given others hope.
Until the last moment, it is still unknown who will win!
Prince Jing's Mansion.
The news that Shen Qingwan had slept with him last night had reached Sikong Yu's ears immediately.
Sikong Yu's slender fingers tapped the table from time to time, his eyes swept over the stack of drawings secretly sent out from the palace, and he pursed his thin lips, "I thought she was poor and incompetent, but
it turns out that she was suppressing herself before she could show her talent." It seems that she had been holding back on him before.
