Chapter 465: Stupid People with a Lot of Money
Concubine Li and Concubine Bai were driven out.
The two stood at the door of Linde Hall.
Concubine Li was both embarrassed and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only keep stirring her handkerchief.
Concubine Bai had a pale face and her body was shaking slightly, as if she had suffered a huge blow and could fall down at any time.
Liu Xu quickly supported her and skillfully stuffed a pill into her mouth.
"My queen, please don't worry. The doctor said that you are weak and you can't be too anxious."
Concubine Bai said weakly, "I'm fine."
Concubine Li hated to see her being so weak and timid, so she sneered, "Isn't it just that the prince told you to get lost? I'm fine, but you're so anxious that you're going to have a seizure. If you're really that anxious, go in and find the prince right now. Do you dare?"
Concubine Bai ignored her and left with Liu Xu.
The next day, Xiao Xixi had just finished her breakfast when Concubine Li came to report on time.
In addition to her, Concubine Bai and Concubine Duan also came.
The four of them were playing mahjong and chatting.
Concubine Bai casually asked, "When do you plan to go to Wanhe Palace this afternoon?"
Concubine Li replied casually, "Let's go after lunch."
Duan Liangdi said, "I can do anything. It's up to you."
Xiao Xixi looked confused: "What are we going to do in Wanhe Palace?"
Concubine Bai looked surprised: "Don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"Yesterday afternoon, Concubine Jing sent us an invitation, saying that she invited us to have tea. Didn't you receive the invitation?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head and said no.
Concubine Bai's expression became strange: "Maybe Concubine Jing was careless for a moment, you can go with us later."
Concubine Li had come to her senses and sneered, "What negligence? She did it on purpose. She knew that we had been going to Qingge Palace every day recently and was afraid that we would stick together and exclude her, so she specially invited us to have tea. She deliberately did not send an invitation to Concubine Xiao. What was her intention? Don't you know it in your heart?!"
Concubine Bai: "Don't say that. We are all good sisters. Maybe Concubine Jing was just careless for a moment."
Concubine Li rolled her eyes at her and said, "Who calls you a good sister?!"
Concubine Bai was not angry, but smiled helplessly: "If we were not good sisters, why would we sit here and play cards together?"
Xiao Xixi replied casually: "Because you are stupid and have a lot of money."
Concubine Bai: "..."
Concubine Li: "..."
Duan Liangdi: “…”
Suddenly, the mahjong in front of me didn’t seem so good anymore.
Concubine Bai forced a smile and said, "Haha, Sister Xiao is really good at joking."
She was afraid that Concubine Xiao would say something shocking again, so she quickly continued the conversation with the previous topic.
"The night before yesterday, the Crown Prince summoned Sister Xiao to sleep with him. Did the Crown Prince ever tell Sister Xiao about the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony?"
Xiao Xixi: “I did.”
The three people at the table immediately looked at her.
Concubine Li asked, "Did the prince say who he would take to the heavenly sacrifice ceremony?"
Xiao Xixi: “Yes.”
"Who will the prince take with him?"
Xiao Xixi: "Me."
She answered straightforwardly without any attempt to hide the truth.
In fact, she didn't think there was anything to hide. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven would be held tomorrow anyway, and she would have to leave the palace with the prince. Everyone in the palace would know that she was going to attend the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven with the prince. There was no need to conceal something that would be known sooner or later.
Concubine Li could no longer control herself. She revealed her strong feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred and questioned angrily.
"Why you?"
Xiao Xixi said casually: "Maybe it's because the prince likes me the most."
Concubine Li was choked and speechless.
Concubine Bai's face was as pale as paper. She pressed her chest with one hand, her brows slightly furrowed, and she looked like she was about to have another attack.
If the prince's favorite person is Concubine Xiao, then what does she matter?
Liu Xu quickly took out the medicine bottle she carried with her and wanted to feed her the medicine.
Concubine Bai pushed Liu Xu's hand away.
"I'm fine, no need to take medicine."
Liu Xu said anxiously, "But you look so pale."
Concubine Bai: "I just have a little trouble breathing. I'll be fine after I calm down."
Is it more than just breathing difficulty for her?
She is so angry now!
Duan Liangdi was also feeling very uncomfortable at this time.
Even though she already knew that she would no longer be favored by the prince, she still felt sad and upset when she found out that the prince favored another woman.
If it were in the past, Concubine Li would have exploded on the spot and had a fight with Xiao Xixi, but now it was different. She owed Xiao Xixi a large sum of money, and Xiao Xixi was her biggest creditor.
Facing her creditors, Concubine Li really didn't have the confidence to fight with her. In the end, she could only swallow her anger and endure it!
Xiao Xixi blinked: "Hey, I think I messed up again."
She pushed the mahjong forward.
The three of them stretched their heads to take a look, and it was still Tianhu!
Concubine Li could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "You did this on purpose?!"
Concubine Bai covered her chest and asked Liu Xu to give her medicine quickly.
Duan Liangdi was also filled with resentment and unwillingness.
People say that if you are successful in love, you will fail at gambling.
But the woman in front of him was not only successful in love, but also had a winning streak in the casino.
God is unfair!
Xiao Xixi: "I didn't mean to win you, it's just luck that happened, there's nothing I can do about it."
She was talking about playing cards, but to the other three people, they felt that she was talking about how the prince only favored her.
She is obviously showing off!
This woman is so hateful!
Xiao Xixi rubbed her fingers together and said, "Come on, give me the money."
The three men handed over the banknotes reluctantly, their expressions looking as if they were constipated, as ugly as they could be.
At noon, the three of them said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Concubine Bai did not forget to ask, "Sister Xiao, do you really not want to go to Wanhe Palace with us for tea this afternoon?"
Xiao Xixi was busy counting money, and said without even looking up: "I don't like drinking tea, so I won't join in the fun."
She really didn't like drinking tea. It was bitter and astringent, and far less delicious than the milk tea made by Baoqin.
Concubine Bai thought she was rejecting him and smiled knowingly, "I understand."
Even after they all left, Xiao Xixi still didn't know what Concubine Bai understood.
While Baoqin was clearing the card table, she reminded him, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing deliberately didn't send you an invitation. It's obvious that she wants to isolate you. Do you want to take precautions in advance?"
Xiao Xixi asked back: "Prevent what?"
Baoqin: "Aren't they going to have tea in Wanhe Hall this afternoon? Can we send someone to keep an eye on them and see what they are up to?"
Xiao Xixi: "Wanhe Palace is Concubine Jing's territory. It should be difficult to send someone to keep an eye on it."
Baoqin leaned over and whispered.
"Your Highness, don't worry. We have spies in Wanhe Palace."
