"Lizhi, you, the prince, and Jing'er, you don't have to sit here anymore, you can go down and watch the battle!"
Liu Xian glanced at everyone and said.
"Yes, Father!"
As they were talking, Li Lizhi and Liu Hui stood up, and Liu Jing and Yu Youer also stood up.
They all went to watch the game.
The only ones still sitting at the banquet were Liu Xian and Madam Fanghua, and Xing Bang naturally stood beside Liu Xian.
Liu Xian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fanghua, you go too!"
Madam Fanghua nodded and slowly stood up. To be honest, she didn't feel comfortable sitting here.
"Mother, come here!"
When Liu Hui saw Madam Fanghua coming down, she quickly waved her hand to ask her to come over.
He and Li Lizhi were watching the game at Madam Yu's table.
At a glance, one can tell the closeness of the relationship. Liu Hui and Li Lizhi went straight to Madam Yu's table, while Liu Jing went to Queen Xiao's table. He had to cheer for his mother no matter what. Yu You'er followed Liu Jing.
"Apart from his mother, the prince is closest to Madam Yu in this great palace."
Liu Xian couldn't help but speak as he looked at the situation on the field.
"Madam Yu looks kind and gentle, so she must be easy-going with others."
Apart from Xing Bang, there was no one else around Liu Xian, so if he didn't answer, who would?
After meeting Madam Yu that day, Xing Bang learned something from Madam Fanghua. The two of them had a close personal relationship, and Madam Yu also particularly liked Liu Hui.
Madam Fanghua also often took Liu Hui to Madam Yu's palace to play.
"That's right. Madam Yu is kind to others. Almost all of these concubines love her from the bottom of their hearts."
"Also, after Madam Fanghua was thrown into the torture chamber by me, she was the only one who pleaded for mercy for me many times. I was really moved by her kindness and courage."
Liu Xian talked about it freely. If he hadn't said anything about this matter, probably no one would have known about it.
From her words, it can be seen that Liu Xian had no doubt at all about Madam Yu's plea for mercy, and he believed that she had no selfish motives and was acting purely out of emotion.
Besides, Madam Fanghua did nothing wrong at that time.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xing Bang couldn't keep silent, and there was nothing to say, so he just had to agree with what he said.
This is what is called "living with the emperor is like living with a tiger". You may be getting along well with him one second, but in the next second, if you say something wrong and offend the emperor, you may be punished to varying degrees. In serious cases, you may die on the spot.
So, there is knowledge everywhere when you walk in the palace!
People who are too confused or too smart often don't end up well.
The two are actually just a matter of thought. To put it bluntly, you should pretend to be confused when you should be confused, and you must be extremely smart when you should be smart.
Only by being absolutely tactful can you be invincible.
"No wonder the Crown Prince and Madam Yu are so close. Madam Fanghua is not in the harem, and only Madam Yu cares about the Crown Prince and truly cares for him like a mother."
Liu Xian looked at the situation on the field and basically talked to himself.
The emperor is also a human being and has family affection!
On this special day and occasion, it was normal for Liu Xian to say a few words under the influence of alcohol.
Anyway, Xing Bang was just listening from the side, maybe just agreeing with him symbolically. He couldn't let Liu Xian talk to himself alone.
As time goes by, many concubines have been eliminated.
They are all players who are just playing for fun. The game is played very quickly with some twists and turns. The rules are also very simple and rough. Once the chips are lost, they leave the game until only one person is left. Therefore, only the final winner at each table can enter the next round.
However, most of the concubines did not choose to rest nearby, but continued to stay and watch the battle.
At this time, Liu Xian was looking around at every table very seriously, without saying anything more.
Xing Bang suddenly realized something, maybe Liu Xian understood something.
Those concubines who stayed behind to watch the battle, all of them had some personal connections, so they would subconsciously stand over and watch the battle...
Liu Xian observed very carefully, which made Xing Bang have to have such thoughts.
The struggles in the harem can sometimes even affect the overall situation in the court, and many of these concubines come from prominent family backgrounds.
It is natural that Liu Xian would use these concubines, with whom he had a close relationship, to speculate on the factional struggles in the court.
This is not without reason, because only Liu Xian knows the possible intersections between the two, and only he can make judgments in the subtleties.
If this is true, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, especially for the cunning and suspicious Liu Xian. It is impossible for him to completely trust anyone, not to mention the ministers, including his wife and son.
If his health continues to improve, Liu Hui, as the crown prince, will be getting older and older, and I'm afraid he won't be able to be completely unprepared.
In the face of supreme power, the emperor had to remain cautious and vigilant.
This is understandable!
After about half an hour, the winner of the first round was decided. Including Madam Fanghua who won easily, a total of eleven people entered the second round.
Empress Xiao and Madam Yu also successfully advanced, as well as Concubine Gao...
There’s nothing surprising about this, these are the best in the harem!
What Xing Bang didn't expect was that Wan Yanran actually advanced.
In fact, what Xing Bang didn't know was that Wan Yanran had no intention of competing at all, and she was just trying to get by while studying, thinking that she could just lose as quickly as possible, but God knows she was exceptionally lucky.
The key is not to cheat blatantly. To ensure fairness, there are special patrollers in the field.
Of course, this rule was made by Xing Bang, otherwise how could Liu Xian say that he was comprehensive and had taken every detail into consideration.
After a short break, the game continued.
It’s still the same old rules. Eleven number plates are put in the box, and then they are shuffled and randomly drawn. It’s still 1234 and so on. There are three tables in total, but there are three people at the third table.
The chips for the ten promoted teams are the same, because one team wins three teams, and each team has 4,000 chips. Madam Fanghua has a bye in the first round, so naturally she also needs to make up for the 4,000 chips.
The little rules are perfect and there is nothing wrong with them.
Soon, the number plates were drawn.
Queen Xiao and three unknown but extremely beautiful concubines sat at the same table. The second table was busier. In addition to a concubine who was a beauty, the other three were Madam Fanghua, Madam Yu, and Beauty Gao.
Wan Yanran drew a table for three people.
This is not lucky at all. In theory, three people and four people are the same.
"Little Korean, come on, accompany me to watch the battle!"
After the second round started, Liu Xian came on with great interest.
Naturally, they walked towards Madam Fanghua's table. The eunuch in charge quickly brought a chair. This eunuch was quite smart and placed the chair behind Madam Yu.
Liu Xian sat down without saying much.
