Jiang Yuan likes cricket fighting, and Xing'er is good at weaving cricket cages. It was because of Xing'er's excellent weaving skills that Jiang Yuan chose her.
Two crickets were biting each other, and Jiang Yuan was teasing the crickets with a bamboo stick.
"Useless! After 15 days of training, he still can't defeat the ever-victorious general."
The Ever-Victorious General that Jiang Yuan mentioned was Sun Shurong's favorite. A month ago, Sun Shurong used the Ever-Victorious General to win five hundred taels of silver from Jiang Yuan.
"Bring the tea."
Xing'er respectfully handed over a cup of fragrant tea.
"Bring some hot tea."
Rolling tea, as the name suggests, is boiling hot tea.
Boiling tea is not meant to be drunk, but to be poured over. Who is it poured over? Of course, the two failed crickets in the jar.
As the boiling tea was poured down, the crickets began to chirp sharply. Concubine Jiang stood up and said, "Useless trash! It's a waste of food to keep them."
"Xing'er, get rid of it quickly."

Xing'er used two bamboo sticks to pick out the crickets, and the two lively crickets were already dead.
Xing'er stared at the cricket in a daze. As she anticipated her future life, she couldn't help but shudder with fear.
Shuang'er, wearing a palace dress made from one of Jiang Zhaoyi's old clothes, waved at her, "Hello, Sister Xing'er."
Good? She wasn't in a good mood at all.
Xing Er smiled wryly, "You're fine, everyone's fine."
Shuang'er jumped and skipped like a peacock with its tail spread out, running towards the main hall where Jiang Yuan was.
"Empress Zhaoyi, I learned the Nichang dance today. The dancers said I am very talented."
"That's great. Come here, Shuang'er. I'll give you another set of dance clothes."
"Thank you, Madam Zhaoyi. Shuang'er will definitely live up to your expectations."
Jiang Zhaoyi was not at all harsh as she was to the cricket. She looked kind when she spoke to Shuang'er. Xing'er looked up at the sky.
If there was a palace maid by Jiang Zhaoyi's side who could receive her favor, she wished that person could be herself.
