Chapter 461 I wish you a happy dream soon
Not long after, Concubine Bai also came.
Concubine Li couldn't wait to sit down at the table. She asked, "Why didn't Concubine Jing come?"
Concubine Bai sat down next to her and said softly, "She said she was not feeling well and couldn't go out."
Concubine Li tutted her tongue and said, "This person is so hypocritical. Forget about her not coming. Caiyun or Baoqin, you can just come and make up the number."
Concubine Bai: "I called Duan Liangdi, but I don't know if she will come."
Concubine Li was very surprised: "Why did you think of looking for her? Hasn't she fallen out of favor?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Duan Liangdi walked in.
Duan Liangdi happened to hear the last words said by Concubine Li. She couldn't help but stop in her tracks and her expression became ugly.
Concubine Li obviously didn't expect Duan Liangdi to appear at this time.
It feels quite embarrassing to say bad things about someone and be heard by that person.
Concubine Li coughed pretentiously and said, "Sister Xiao, why don't you speak?"
Xiao Xixi was eating cherries when she was suddenly called. She paused and asked blankly, "What did you say?"
Concubine Li got a headache when she saw her like this.
"As the owner of Qingge Hall, shouldn't you greet the guests when they arrive?"
Xiao Xixi: "I saw you guys were having a great time chatting, so I didn't want to disturb you."
Duan Liangdi didn't feel happy at all.
She even felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have impulsively run to Qingge Palace. None of these women were simple characters. In her current condition, she would only be humiliated if she came here.
Concubine Bai said softly, "Sister Li is a bit blunt, don't take it personally."
Concubine Li was most annoyed by Concubine Bai's false kindness and she immediately retorted.
"Am I not telling the truth? Hasn't Duan Liangdi fallen out of favor?"
In order to give herself more confidence, she even grabbed Xiao Xixi's arm and pressed the issue.
"Come and prove for yourself whether what I said is true or not?"
Xiao Xixi swallowed the cherry flesh in her mouth: "It's the truth."
When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately burst into laughter and said with great satisfaction, "See, even Concubine Xiao agrees with what I said!"
Concubine Bai frowned slightly: "You are going too far."
Duan Liangdi's eyes were red, and if there was no one watching her, she would have burst into tears.
These people really look down on her!
She shouldn't have come here!
Xiao Xixi continued slowly, "But I don't think you need to say that about Duan Liangdi. At least she was favored by the prince for a while."
Concubine Li, who had never been favored by the Crown Prince: "..."
Xiao Xixi: "Look at Sister Bai, she's so calm and doesn't care at all whether she's spoiled or not."
Concubine Bai, who was actually very concerned in her heart: "..."
Xiao Xixi: "Actually, there's nothing to be happy about being favored. After all, serving the prince is pretty tiring."
Duan Liangdi, who dreams of serving the prince: "..."
Xiao Xixi: "Why are you looking at me? Do you want to eat cherries too? The prince gave me a lot of cherries, they are delicious, do you want to try some?"
Concubine Li slammed a mahjong tile on the table and snorted, "I hate cherries!"
She would rather starve to death than eat such charity!
Concubine Bai pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "My stomach has not been feeling well recently, so I can't eat anything."
The fingertips hidden in her sleeves almost pinched into her palms.
Obviously, she was the one who had known the prince the longest among these women, so why didn't the prince think of her when he sent cherries? !
Duan Liangdi lowered her head and said sadly, "Thank you, Sister Xiao, for your kindness. I'm not hungry now."
When she was favored in the past, she had received many rewards, but now she couldn't even get a portion of cherry. It seemed that the prince had really forgotten her completely.
Xiao Xixi couldn’t understand why they didn’t even want to eat such delicious cherries. What a waste of food!
But then again, it's better if they don't eat, so that she can continue to eat alone with peace of mind.
Concubine Bai invited Duan Liangdi to come and sit down.
Duan Liangdi walked over with her head down and sat down carefully.
Xiao Xixi was still eating her cherries.
Concubine Li urged, "Can you please stop eating? Hurry up and shuffle the cards."
Xiao Xixi held the cherry in one hand and put it into her mouth, while she stretched out the other hand to play mahjong.
Concubine Bai whispered to Duan Liangdi how to play mahjong.
Concubine Li rolled up her sleeves, full of fighting spirit.
She must win today!
With the addition of new card-playing friends, Concubine Li no longer had to be beaten by Concubine Xiao. Occasionally, she could even drink some soup residue with Concubine Xiao.
Throughout the morning, Xiao Xixi was almost always winning, while the others won and lost.
The one who lost the most was Concubine Bai.
Because Concubine Li happened to be sitting above her, she deliberately suppressed her cards. Sometimes, Concubine Li would rather not win than let Concubine Bai win.
Duan Liangdi wanted to help Concubine Bai, but she was still a novice and sat below Concubine Bai, so she was powerless and could not be of much help.
Concubine Bai lost all the banknotes she brought today.
Money is secondary, the main thing is that I feel ashamed.
Especially Concubine Li deliberately showed off in front of her.
"I was lucky today and I even won some money, all thanks to Sister Bai's help. After all, you paid for most of the money I won. Thank you so much!"
Concubine Bai pressed her chest and felt a little difficult to breathe.
When Concubine Li saw her like this, she immediately shouted, "Please don't get sick. We are willing to accept the loss of the bet. You can't rely on your sickness to cheat!"
Concubine Bai was so angry that she felt dizzy: "I'm not trying to cheat, I just really don't feel well."
Duan Liangdi: "Let me go back with you. You are not feeling well and you should have a good rest."
She held Concubine Bai's arm and left Qingge Palace together.
Concubine Li was dismissive of this: "Bai Lianhua is pretending to be kind and deceiving people again!"
Xiao Xixi asked curiously, "How much money did you win today?"
Concubine Li proudly threw the banknote in her hand and said, "I won three hundred taels today!"
"So how much money did you lose yesterday?"
Concubine Li: "..."
It would have been fine if she didn't mention yesterday, but as soon as she mentioned it, she felt like she was possessed by a white lotus, with chest tightness, shortness of breath and extreme discomfort.
She clutched her chest and said distressedly, "I lost three thousand taels yesterday."
Xiao Xixi counted on her fingers and said, "You only need two thousand seven hundred taels to make back your investment. Come on, I have high hopes for you!"
Concubine Li said angrily, "Just wait, I will make you give up all the money you won sooner or later!"
Xiao Xixi threw a cherry into her mouth and said as she ate it.
"I just like the way you persist in pursuing your dreams and never give up. I wish you success in your dreams soon."
Concubine Li was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet hard, turned around and ran away with the banknotes.
Prince: I don’t have a role today, I’m not happy! (pouting.jpg)
