In an instant, the sound of people gasping for breath filled my ears.
Everyone understands what the prince said. Liu Qian, you have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hardship you have endured. You can go back to the palace to take a bath and change your clothes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Qian looked flattered, such a considerate and humorous man, these words made it clear that he understood and would fulfill them immediately.
The reward for first place is ready, and now it’s Gao Meiren’s turn. She is the most nervous one, she can’t let herself ask for it, right?
"Okay, next, it's time to reward Miss Gao."
Xing Bang looked at Gao Meiren, who had a look of anticipation on her face.
How could you not know what she wants?
"This is a bit of a dilemma for me. What should I reward Lady Gao with? There's already a precedent for the first place, so I can't let myself get it, right?"
"Don't be idle, if you have any good suggestions, you can also speak up."
No one would have good suggestions except Gao Meiren.
Um?
Lady Gao's eyebrows flickered twice, and she suddenly understood something.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Okay, but you can tell me."
Xing Bang smiled knowingly and said, "See if you can get it."
Lady Gao breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, Mr. Liu worked sincerely and earnestly, so I think it is understandable that he got the first place, and I am convinced."
"However, Liu Liangren did not participate in the competition. It is not wrong for him to win first place, but I think it can only be regarded as a special prize, and the actual first place should be mine."
"Oh, that does make some sense."
Xing Bang smiled and said that it was actually quite interesting when women fought with men.
"So, what's your conclusion?"
Lady Gao did not hesitate, "I think I should be ranked first with Lady Liu."
"It makes sense and is reasonable."
Xing Bang nodded.
"Okay, it's settled. Gao Mei and Liu Liangren are tied for first place."
"Okay, then your reward is easy to talk about. It's still what you want."
Hearing this, Lady Gao couldn't hide her joy.
Xing Bang then said: "But you can't just keep asking for a Guanyin statue, you have to have something new."
"Yes, Your Majesty, what I want is definitely different from what Liu Liangren wants."
Lady Gao is already confident about what she is doing.
"Your Highness has been working hard for state affairs all day long. I, as a concubine in the harem, can't help much, but I also want to share your worries with you."
"So, I want to cook some dishes in my own palace and invite Your Majesty to taste them. This is also a token of my sincere gratitude. If Your Majesty can enjoy the food, it will be the greatest compliment to me."
"Well, Miss Gao has a good intention, and I agree."
Xing Bang nodded.
"Also, since you and Liu Liangren are tied for first place... I have decided to fulfill your wish tonight. Liu Liangren will also come to your palace, and the three of us will celebrate together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lady Gao looked delighted.
"I obey your order."
Liu Qian also quickly responded, and the matter was settled.
"Since Lady Gao and Lady Liu are tied for first place, Lady Wang will naturally be promoted to second place, and the fourth place will be promoted to third place."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lady Liu, who was ranked fourth, was instantly delighted.
Concubine Liu is also one of the four beauties, and they are all outstanding women in the harem.
Xing Bang changed his mind and realized that he had to go to Guangming City tomorrow, and also return to the palace later.
Just make a pot of stew.
"How about this, I will think about your rewards later, but now you can go to Lady Gao and celebrate together."
Hearing this, the two beauties hurriedly bowed and said, "This is enough, they don't want anything else, really."
After saying this, Xing Bang signaled to Empress Xiao, who then stood up and said, "My dear sisters, please stop here today. I have prepared rewards for you according to your rankings and will send them to your palaces tomorrow."
"Thank you, Queen."
The concubines just bowed politely, but they were all unhappy in their hearts. Even if they were given a mountain of gold tomorrow, they would not be surprised.
What I feel more is envy. I envy the other three girls including Concubine Gao. They will finally have a stable foothold in the harem in the future.
There is nothing to fight for in the harem now, and there is no point in fighting. The regent is different from the late emperor.
You must be strict with yourself. It is impossible to get opportunities by means of tricks. You can only do your part well and wait for opportunities.
At this point, the second mahjong competition in Dayu Harem came to a successful conclusion.
…
The next day, it was still dark.
"Husband, let's not go."
Zheng Xiujun pressed her face against Xing Bang's chest and spoke seriously.
"Why? Isn't it already agreed?"
Xing Bang stroked Zheng Xiujun's hair on her forehead, and then kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry about anything, and don't worry about me. The Arbitration Department won't do anything to me."
"Xiujun, if you choose to stay with me forever, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will go through thick and thin, even if it means going through dangerous places."
"But, my dear husband, I absolutely believe that my man is a great hero who can protect me and my group of sisters."
Zheng Xiujun's eyes instantly became moist.
"But I can't be selfish. You are the eternal king of our Dayu and Yeqin. If you are in danger, what will happen to your sisters and the unborn children?"
