Chapter 208 Another Reward
Zi Rui smiled: "Yes, as for Shen Yu Nu, I will also watch her."
When the concubines had not been decided, everyone was looking at who would come in.
After coming in, we look at who has a higher position.
Now that everything has been settled and people are about to come in, everyone starts to watch who will sleep with the emperor first.
Who won the first prize?
However, there are still three days to go. I just came in today, so I will rest for these three days and will not sleep with you.
Not long after Shen Chuliu returned from Fengzao Palace, he heard that new people had come in.
If the Queen has something to say, there is no need to pay respects today. Just wait and pay respects three days later.
"Master, Shen Yunu is here." Yin Hu came in and said, "According to the rules, she is waiting outside."
"Well, tell her to behave herself for the next three days and not to wander around."
This is not seen.
Yinhu nodded and went out to pass on the message.
Shen Biyu couldn't believe it when she heard this, and she left angrily.
No mention of rewarding a silver pot was made either.
Yinhu sent the person away with a smile, thinking that the sisters in this mansion had different personalities.
In the evening, news came that the emperor had gone to Cuiyunxuan.
The newlyweds don't know, so they have to ask which master of Cuiyunxuan is sleeping with them.
In Changqiu Pavilion, the maid who had just changed her name to Xiujin explained: "You don't know, but there is also a Baolin living in Cuiyun Pavilion, but that person has been with us since we moved to the palace. He is two years older than our emperor and has never served in the emperor's bedchamber."
This means that as long as it is Cuiyunxuan, it must be Empress Jing Xiuyi who will sleep with him.
Zhijin stuffed a purse into Xiujin's hand and said, "I'm a new girl, so I don't know a lot of things. I have to rely on you, sister."
Xiu Jin hurriedly said she dared not.
"In Cuiyunxuan..." Shen Biyu began to think, if she could move there, it would be beneficial.
"Since Yao Baolin won't sleep with you, he's of no help to you, sister." Her words were quite clear.
Xiu Jin thought that the imperial concubine was quite thoughtful, and hurriedly said, "The imperial concubine doesn't know that Yao Baolin has been living a decent life in the palace these years thanks to following Jing Xiuyi. Otherwise, she would have been out of favor for a long time, and who knows what her situation would be like."
This means that presumably people will not move, and the people your sister is taking care of will not give up.
At this time when she was in favor, how nice it would be to have someone who didn't sleep with her? Shen Biyu was also a thoughtful person, naturally not stupid, so she understood it, smiled and asked Xiujin and Zhijin to prepare and wait for her to sleep.
In the Qingyin Pavilion, Zhen Cairen lay down and listened to the palace maid Qiuyi saying, "You can't sleep with me now, so you can only watch everything. When you can sleep with me, there will naturally be a place for you to stand."
Zhen Cairen snorted, "Jing Xiuyi is so good, but I'm not bad either."
She had her own pride, and after entering the palace, she naturally wasn't willing to just live a stable life.
As long as Empress Dowager Li is around, she will definitely be able to live comfortably.
But who doesn’t have the desire to strive to be the best?
What's the point of wasting time like this? Besides, the emperor is so handsome, how can she not be moved? Everyone has their own thoughts. In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu is playing chess with the emperor. She is also very ruthless. After losing a game, she refuses to let the emperor win.
But we still lost the second set.
"It makes me so angry. Why doesn't the emperor give in to me a little? Just for your son's sake." Shen Chuliu really thinks that the emperor is not smart.
You have to win when playing chess with your concubines.
Qi Yixiu smiled and dropped the black piece in his hand.
He thought to himself that Shen Chuliu was actually quite good at chess, and his competitive spirit was also aroused.
Besides, among the concubines in the harem, only he was praised for his chess skills. How could anyone blame him for not letting him win after losing?
"I remember there is a good chess set in the storeroom. Can I give it to you tomorrow? For the sake of the Sixth Prince, I can't make my beloved concubine angry, right?" Qi Yixiu said.
"Is it really good?" Shen Chuliu tilted her head: "Please don't use nonsense to fool me. I am angry today. If it is not good, I will tell the Sixth Prince about the emperor."
"You, you, do you think he can understand? What mother would tell her child about the father's faults? And just for a game of chess!" Qi Yixiu couldn't help laughing.
Shen Chuliu snorted and poured himself some tea: "It has to be good anyway."
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "Okay, if it's not there, I'll have someone find it for you, I promise."
The next day, when Shen Chuliu came back from paying his respects, he saw Chusi coming in person.
Behind them followed two young eunuchs, carrying something covered with red cloth.
After paying respects, he asked someone to put the things down: "The emperor has said that he wants my beloved concubine to take a look. If it is not good enough, it will not be too late to change it."
Shen Chuliu smiled and covered her lips with her hands, then personally uncovered the red cloth.
There were only two boxes, one above the other.
The smaller one on top, when opened, turned out to be two jars carved out of white jade, one filled with black pieces and the other with white pieces.
The white pieces are made of the finest white jade. This kind of jade is only used to make jewelry and jade pendants and is rare. Using it to make chess pieces is a luxury.
The black spots are made of Qilian cuttlefish, and their texture is naturally inferior to white jade, but such jade is very rare, so it is also very precious.
When the box below was opened, Shen Chuliu laughed out loud: "This box doesn't match the chessboard."
I saw that it was a chessboard made of precious wood, golden nanmu.
It is very heavy, and the carved lines on it are filled with gold powder and pressed with special materials to ensure that the gold powder will not be brought out during daily scrubbing.
The four pillars are not high and are all carved with dragon patterns, and the side of the chessboard is decorated with patterns of eternal longevity.
"I thank the emperor for his reward. The emperor has given me such a precious thing. I will certainly use it from time to time." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
As he said that, he asked Yuanxiao to bring a purse. Shen Chuliu took it and handed it to Chusi: "Give them the silver to move things. This thing is very heavy. Give the good one inside to you, just as a toy."
Chusi refused at first but then accepted it.
When I came out of Cuiyunxuan and took a look, I was like, wow, what great stuff!
It turned out to be a jade pendant carved from topaz.
People like this naturally like silver, but silver is not rare.
This jade pendant is different, it’s a thing.
Then he put it away.
After returning to Taiji Palace, he told Shen Chuliu what she had said, and said with a smile that he had obtained the jade pendant.
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "She really knows good things. If I had taken something else today, she wouldn't have been able to fool me."
Chusi hurriedly responded with a few words of praise, thinking that the winners got things, but you gave things back.
Tsk, Empress Jing Xiuyi is really powerful. She took away this golden nanmu chessboard right away.
Even though the jade chess pieces are precious, compared to this chessboard, they are just that insignificant.
Sure enough, Jing Xiuyi is a connoisseur of good stuff.
Perhaps today's reward was so valuable that no one knew about it.
Some people just knew that there was another reward in Cuiyunxuan, but they didn't know what it was.
Li Chongrong drank the mung bean soup and frowned slightly: "Another reward?"
