Lin Zhiya understood this time that Zhao Chen wanted to learn martial arts.
She said arrogantly, "Leave it to me. I happen to know a teacher who is good at hiding."
[After all, he is the emperor. It would be embarrassing if he learned martial arts and was punished by squatting in horse stance every day. No wonder Zhao Chen kept it a secret.]
[Luckily, Zhao Momo and I have a good understanding of each other, so I could tell what he was thinking at a glance.]
Lin Zhiya laughed secretly in her heart, while praising herself with satisfaction.
Zhao Chen could tell something was wrong, but it took time to master the art, so he shouldn't be too impatient. He also smiled, "I'm glad that my beloved concubine understands me."
Invisibility is more powerful than Zhao Chen imagined. He originally wanted a skill that could give him limitless strength or overturn mountains and seas. Now that he has learned invisibility, it will be great. On the day of the hunt, Zhao Chen can create some miracles for himself.
Zhao Chen thought of the big bow he had made beforehand, "Can this teacher pull the big bow that the three of us are holding together?"
Lin Zhiya: "What's the big bow? As long as there is a target, he can do anything."
...
...
[Wait for me to call people back from the disaster area first. I don’t know if they can be used after they return from the disaster area. ]
Zhao Chen was looking forward to it. "I didn't expect that this teacher still cares about the refugees. I'm not in a hurry here. Let the teacher be busy first."
After finishing the irrelevant conversation, Lin Zhiya was busy in the house for a while and finally waited for Hemei to come back.
He Mei was holding a box and when she opened it, there were four displayed luminous pearls inside. The luminous pearls were much smaller than the ones Lin Zhiya usually saw, but she could smell a strange fragrance when she got close.
He Mei: "The diplomat from Liuli Country is actually a pretty boy who speaks in a flowery way. I see that he can't even afford to eat, so I asked him to sell the Night Pearl to us, but he still suspected that the queen was cheating."
Lin Zhiya was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "There are still such poor people in the post station, he won't run away back to Liuli Country, right?"
He Mei was puzzled: "I don't know why he is still in our Zhao State. I heard that he has been here for four or five years."
Lin Zhiya turned around and put the matter behind her, put away the four night pearls, and waited to use them during the Qiqi Festival tomorrow night.
In the post station, Wu Xia was looking at the moon thoughtfully.
He was full of youthful temperament, with a handsome and deep face. He wore a round-necked official uniform and had a scimitar slung around his waist, which was out of place.
On the stone table not far away, there was a cup of steaming tea.
The post station was very quiet, with only him and one of his men. In Wu Xia's eyes, the foreign land seemed cold and lonely.
Wu Xia made a decision and said in a voice full of youth: "Go and get the remaining night-shining pearls back tonight and ship them to Zhao State for sale, especially those from the Dwarf State."
The subordinate was mending his clothes which had a big hole in them. Hearing this, he looked up in confusion and said, "Young Master, we have an agreement with the Dwarf Country. Are we really not going to send the Night Pearl?"
Wu Xia was surprisingly angry, but his handsome face was still pleasing to the eye: "The Dwarf Country has no money, and they bring it all to Zhao to sell."
Wu Xia looked at his men who were working hard to mend the clothes, and his tone became gentler: "The money from selling the night pearls today is enough for us to live on, so change your clothes."
The subordinate shuddered, threw away his patched clothes with tears in his eyes, and said with emotion: "After I get the secret information from Zhao and return to Liuli Country, I will drink three big jars of wine with the young master."
Wu Xia fell into deep thought as he looked at the map of Zhao State, which was still largely blank after three years of drawing.
The next day, the palace was decorated with lights and colors. Even though there was no formal dinner, it could not stop the concubines from eagerly looking forward to the festival.
He Mei put the spiders used for the spider game into a small box and gave Lin Zhiya a look: "Don't worry, Madam. I won't make any mistakes."
Lin Zhiya believed it and smiled gently, "When I beg for luck, I will promote you to a first-class palace maid."
Hemei was excited, and her round face was radiant.
The master and servant waited in the Xuanzhu Hall until dark. When the moon rose above the willow branches, Yuan Cainü and others arrived and all of them rushed into the Xuanzhu Hall to pray for wisdom together.
Two... four... sixty or eighty, Lin Zhiya counted and found that there were seventeen concubines.
The concubines all looked for seats, and once they were seated, it became a dinner party. Looking at the scene in front of her, Lin Zhiya suddenly felt that she had done something unnecessary.
The ceremony of threading needles to pray for dexterity began, and the concubines began to thread needles facing the moon. The thread was colorful and the needle was a nine-pointed needle. They put in all kinds of efforts just to pray for a smart heart and a pair of skillful hands.
Lin Zhiya felt that was not right, because those who begged for skill already had a pair of skillful hands.
Someone like her should be given a pair of skillful hands, right? But she didn't get any skillful hands when she came out to beg.
Ma Cainü was indeed very fast. When Lin Zhiya was halfway through putting on her clothes, she found that Ma Cainü had already finished and was looking around with great enthusiasm for an opponent.
She had no rivals... Even Yuan Cainü completed it leisurely. In this task of threading a needle to pray for dexterity, Ma Cainü was the most skillful.
Someone was whispering.
"Ma Cainv is actually faster than Concubine Wan. Does she want to be faster than Concubine Gao?"
"I heard that she was brought here from the countryside. No wonder she wants to be in the limelight so much. She really doesn't want to live anymore and doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Lin Zhiya smiled and said, "Who is singing? I can't hear it clearly. Don't be so stingy. Let everyone hear it."
"Majesty value +10."
Lin Zhiya was about to walk closer to see the needle that Ma Cainü was threading, but she unexpectedly breathed a gust of cold wind in her face and started coughing uncomfortably.
At this time, she stopped beside Yuan Cainv, and Yuan Cainv hurriedly handed her her tea and said, "You haven't touched it yet, please suppress your cough."
Lin Zhiya coughed so hard that tears came out. She was about to put the water into her mouth when she vaguely saw a needle in the teacup.
Lin Zhiya almost swallowed a needle into her throat.
Lin Zhiya was horrified. She threw the teacup and it broke into pieces. She could clearly see the needle lying next to the broken porcelain pieces.
He Mei screamed and rushed over: "My queen! Who wants to harm our queen?"
Lin Zhiya was shaken a few times by her pounce and barely regained her composure, but the concubines sitting there were all stunned and silent.
Yuan Cainu cried, "My Lady, it wasn't me. How could I want to hurt you? I have always been grateful to you. I must have fallen in there accidentally."
Lin Zhiya looked at her expression carefully. She didn't believe that it was Yuan Cainv. Yuan Cainv had no reason to do such a thing. Moreover, putting it in her own cup was too stupid.
He Mei shouted, "Who knows what you are thinking? The emperor will know if it is you after questioning her. Your Majesty, lock her up."
Ma Cainv said weakly: "I also don't think it was Yuan Cainv. Yuan Cainv doesn't have the courage to do that."
Someone asked: "Who do you think wants to harm Concubine Wan? Is there anyone else who wants to harm Concubine Wan?"
