The last night pearl was given to Zhao Xiaoxiong by Lin Zhiya, and then given to Tutor Sun as a gift for the Chinese Valentine's Day.
In the classroom, Tutor Sun hastily asked the students to study on their own, then he went to the cubicle with the night pearl in his hand and wrote a poem titled "I Received the Pearl on July 7th to Thank the Emperor".
First sentence: During this festive season, I am still diligently teaching my students and I don’t even notice the lights have gone out.
Second sentence: Thinking of the emperor’s instructions, my heart is moved, and I only regret that I could not teach the prince more.
The third sentence: At this time the sky was bright, it turned out that our emperor had bestowed a night-shining pearl, and the students all congratulated him.
The fourth sentence: This bead is so dazzling and exquisitely crafted that it amazes me. It is such a treasure!
After Tutor Sun finished writing, he picked it up and blew dry the ink, then walked quickly to share it with his students. He saw this as an opportunity, an opportunity to repair the rift with the Emperor!
Tutor Sun was delighted and recited the poem in class with ups and downs.
The fourth prince: "So this is the night-shining pearl that my father placed in the imperial study. My master actually has one too!"
...
...
Zhao Xiaoxiong was about to say something but stopped himself. Isn't this his mother's? How did it become something given by his father to the tutor?
My father also got what he wanted from my mother.
Master Sun said to Zhao Xiaoxiong in a friendly manner, "It's just a metaphor. I will teach you about this later. I'm going to take the poem to my friends for appreciation first."
Tutor Sun tucked the book under his armpit and walked away, bringing a gust of wind with him. By the time he arrived at the front court, he was already sweating slightly.
It happened that the ministers gathered on the road after the court session, led by Prime Minister Liu, were discussing heatedly the three night pearls in Zhao Chen's study.
Various words such as "colorful and wonderful" kept coming out of everyone's mouth.
Tutor Sun smiled calmly and joined the discussion with a fabricated poem.
In just one morning, the price of the night pearl increased several times.
…
In the post station, Wu Xia was wearing deerskin boots and his white cuffs were tied tightly.
He was shelling edamame to make soup, which was cheap and filling. After all these years in Zhao State, he had already learned how to live with the minimum amount of money.
Just as he was about to cook porridge, there was a noise outside the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the subordinate in brand new clothes stood there like a door god, "Young Master, we sold twenty-one night-shining pearls today. What are we having for lunch?"
Wu Xia hurried back to his room and picked up a pen to write a letter. His hands were shaking as he wrote down the name of Concubine Wan, the most powerful woman in Zhao State.
"Although Wanpin lives in the harem, she can easily stir up the wind. The most terrifying thing is that she is a low-key person. No one knows how powerful she is."
The letter was tied to the legs of a pigeon and passed to the Liuli Kingdom. For a moment, everyone in the Liuli Kingdom was shocked.
…
Lin Zhiya and Hemei were strolling in the Imperial Garden, and soon they arrived near the Yihe Hall.
Lin Zhiya thought that she hadn't checked in for a long time, so she found an excuse to walk around the Yihe Hall for fifteen minutes.
"You have been clocking in at the Yihedian for 15 minutes, surpassing 99% of users. You will receive a reward soon..."
"I have reached the check-in count. The skill library is open. I am randomly selecting skills. I have obtained Nian Zhaoyi's Tea Art."
"Zhaoyi Nian's tea art: Zhaoyi Nian has practiced tea art for many years and has long been a senior tea art master, which has made an outstanding contribution to her position as Zhaoyi."
This time the annotation seemed to be sarcastic. Lin Zhiya's mouth twitched and her eyes fell on the annotation below.
"If this skill falls on someone who doesn't know this, it will automatically transform into a legendary tea-making skill in reality, and come with a can of green tea leaves."
Lin Zhiya put away her tea-making skills, wondering when she could make herself a cup to see the results.
He Mei ran over and said in horror, "My Lady, someone has dug something up under the tree in Zhaoyi Nian's courtyard."
Lin Zhiya followed and through the gaps in the crowd, she saw a small box with a tiny smiling doll inside.
Because it had been there for so long, the smiley doll was covered in mud and was dirty.
Not far from the box containing the doll, a palace maid who had been dead for many years was dug out. The palace maid was dug out first, and then the box.
He Mei whispered, "Madam, the steward just came to confirm that the buried maid was the one who served Concubine Nian a few years ago. She must have been displeased by her."
The maid's aunt, who also worked in the palace, came soon and threw herself on the ground crying bitterly. She verified Hemei's statement and found that she was indeed killed by Concubine Nian to vent her anger.
But this smiling doll... Lin Zhiya feels so familiar with it, this doll is hers.
Lin Zhiya picked up the doll and wondered why Nian Zhaoyi stole her doll, which was just a little toy in her boudoir.
Not only did she steal it, she also brought it into the palace and buried it under the soil in the palace. What was wrong with Concubine Nian?
Lin Zhiya took the doll back to Xuanzhu Hall, put it on the table and stared at it for a long time. Her mind was groggy and she couldn't remember what had happened.
At this time, the system prompted that the secret guard placed next to Lin Yiyuan had been taken back. Lin Zhiya put the doll aside and summoned the secret guard to dress him up.
The hermit's black clothes, hat and veil made the secret guard look like a hero.
Lin Zhiya was very satisfied and took the secret guards to ask for an audience with Zhao Chen.
Unfortunately, Zhao Chen was discussing government affairs with Prime Minister Liu. Although it was called a discussion, Lin Zhiya noticed that there was a wooden fish in front of Prime Minister Liu.
Lin Zhiya put the secret guard aside, told the man that this was the teacher invited for the emperor, and hurried back.
Two hours later, Zhao Chen drove away Prime Minister Liu, who was muttering about having a vegetarian meal, and walked around the imperial study with heavy steps, letting out a long breath.
Zhao Chen: "Who came just now?"
Lai Xi said, "It was Concubine Wan. She saw that the emperor was busy, so she went back. I heard that she went back to play with the doll, which she dug out from under Concubine Nian's tree."
Zhao Chen paused, and said in a cold tone: "Doll? What kind of doll is it?"
