Chapter 1005: My conscience hurts
Tang Bao said in amazement: "My Lady, could it be that you can embroider with flying needles?"
Concubine Xian: “…”
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
Concubine Shu immediately showed an expression of gloating.
The Imperial Concubine shook her head and laughed, explaining, "The Emperor was worried that the virtuous concubine might get hurt, so he issued an oral decree, allowing her to only sew for one hour a day."
In fact, the reason why they sat together to play mahjong was to divert the attention of Concubine Xian.
Otherwise, even if Concubine Xian couldn't touch the needle and thread, she would stare at the handkerchief given by Tang Bao and not eat it.
That look was really scary.
By the way, the reason why the emperor issued such an oral order was because the imperial concubine asked for it.
Because, the nanny beside the virtuous concubine secretly ran to the imperial concubine and begged her with tears in her eyes to save her master, saying that her master could not figure out the flying needle acupuncture technique and was almost going crazy because of not eating or drinking.
The imperial concubine had no choice but to ask the emperor for an imperial decree.
To put it bluntly, the Imperial Concubine doesn't want anything to happen to the Virtuous Concubine, leaving the position of the Four Concubines vacant.
Now none of the four concubines have sons, which is perfect!
After listening to what the imperial concubine said, Tang Bao understood what was going on.
"It's all your fault!" Concubine Xian glared at Concubine Gui unhappily.
The imperial concubine smiled and said nothing.
Concubine Shu curled her lips and said, "You don't know how to appreciate kindness! I shouldn't care about your life or death!"
The virtuous concubine snorted and glanced at the virtuous concubine.
"You didn't care! I think you just wish I would die soon!" Concubine Xian said angrily, having forgotten to turn on the gentle green tea mode.
Concubine Shu slammed the table, looking ready to fight, and angrily said, "If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't be sitting here playing mahjong with you!"
"Oh! Are you just accompanying me? It's just you who likes to play!" Concubine Xian retorted with a sneer.
In order to show that he was not willing to be outdone, he also slammed the table.
Tang Bao watched from the side and sighed in his heart——
Sure enough, the friendship built at the poker table is unreliable and breaks down very quickly.
"Okay, you two are not afraid of being laughed at by Tangtang." The imperial concubine said helplessly.
After saying that, he looked at Tang Bao again and explained: "They are always like this, you just have to get used to it."
Tang Bao nodded with a smile and said, "I can see that the two ladies have a very good relationship and care about each other very much."
Concubine Xian: “…”
Concubine Shu: “…”
The two glared at each other, snorted at the same time, and looked away.
Then, they said in unison: "Who cares about her? I don't care about her!"
"It's true that we are in sync with each other." Tang Bao sighed.
Concubine Shu's expression froze, and she said stiffly, "I'm just afraid that she'll go crazy, and no one will argue with me anymore."
The virtuous concubine said, "I just know that besides being vain, she also loves playing cards. I play a few rounds with her to prevent her from muttering like a lunatic in front of the mirror again. I don't know when she will go crazy..."
Tang Bao sighed: Friendship at the card table is unreliable, but after years of playing cards, friendship can be forged.
The Imperial Concubine looked at the stubborn expressions of the Concubine Shu and the Concubine Xian, and said with some amusement, "You two... forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Are you still going to play or not?"
"Play! Why not play?" Concubine Xian said immediately.
After saying that, he looked at Tang Bao with a burning gaze.
Then he said, "Tangtang, feel free to play. No matter how much you lose, it's all mine. But there's one condition: you have to teach me the flying needle technique, okay?"
When Concubine Shu heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at Tang Bao.
"Tangtang, don't worry. If you lose, I will definitely not take your money. You can use the beauty cream to replace it. How about it?" Concubine Shu's face was full of excitement, as if Tangbao was bound to lose.
The imperial concubine's heart moved, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Tang Bao became hot.
"Tangtang, I don't want your money either. I just want one herbal remedy from you. Is that okay?"
Tang Bao: “…”
I felt like I was facing three hungry wolves.
"I'm still young, gambling is not good." Tang Bao said softly: "Ladies, this will teach me bad things."
Concubine Xian: “…”
Concubine Shu: “…”
Imperial Concubine: “…”
What should I do if my face is a little red?
My conscience also hurts a little.
The three ladies looked at each other, and then—
"Well, Tangtang, look, we're just killing time, playing a few rounds in the palace. It doesn't count as gambling." Concubine Xian cast aside her slightly pang of conscience and said earnestly, "Besides, a little gambling can make you happy."
"That's right! How can this be considered gambling?" Concubine Shu, in a rare show of unity with Concubine Xian, said, "Tangtang, sit down quickly. I'll explain the rules to you. Maybe you'll pull off a grand slam and beat all three of us."
Tang Bao looked at Concubine Shu: I think you might have revealed the truth.
The imperial concubine covered her heart, suppressing her conscience, and said gently, "Sufang, help Tangtang sit down."
The palace maid Su Fang also pressed her conscience and said, "Princess, I will help you sit down."
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, surrounded by wolves, they force silver on me.
Concubine Shu couldn't wait to explain the rules again. Looking at the little girl sitting on the stool, she felt like she was looking at a fair and tender little lamb.
"Come on, let's start." Concubine Shu shouted excitedly and began to sort the cards.
The first dice roll is to compare the size to decide who will be the banker.
Not surprisingly, the one that Tang Bao threw casually became the biggest.
Xian Fei smiled and said, "Tangtangguo is really lucky. Look, you are the banker in the first round."
"Well, I've always been lucky." Tang Bao said with a harmless smile.
When the imperial concubine heard this, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, I had some doubts about whether I could beat Tang Bao?
Soon, everyone had their cards in front of them.
"Tangtang, play your cards quickly!" Concubine Shu urged.
She has a very good hand and the possibility of winning is very high.
Tang Bao looked at the cards in her hand, a hint of hesitation appeared on her little face, as if she didn't know what to do.
When the imperial concubine saw this, her uncertainty disappeared and her conscience began to pang again.
"Sufang, take a look at Tangtang's cards and give her some advice." said the imperial concubine.
After all, it’s the first one, so the girl should be allowed to get familiar with it.
"Yes, my lady."
Sufang agreed and walked behind Tangbao to look at Tangbao's cards.
Then, his expression froze and he showed an incredible expression.
"What's wrong?" asked the imperial concubine in confusion.
Sufang opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Tang Bao frowned and said softly, "I don't have any cards to deal. It seems to be a Tian Hu."
After saying that, he pushed down all the cards in front of him.
Imperial Concubine: “……???”
Xian Fei: “……???”
Concubine Shu: “……???”
