"The competition outside isn't over yet. Let's not talk about food for now. I happen to have something fun to give you. I just have enough people. Come over and play together. I guarantee it will be fun."
Xia Qingxin was clearing the table while urging the two of them to come over. Just now she was thinking that it would be a pity that she couldn't play mahjong. Now God is really helping her. She also sent two great gods of wealth. Let's watch her kill everyone later!
Baili Mingxi knew that he was going to be unlucky again when he saw the look on her face, as if her plot was about to succeed. He always suffered a loss when he met her, but he still couldn't help but want to get close to her. It was really a shame for him.
"You two are on your side. What we are playing now is called Ma Diao. Listen carefully. I will only explain the rules once and then start practicing them. Everyone should pay attention."
Xia Qingxin lay half-ly on the table, picked up mahjong, and started to teach them one by one. Fortunately, the royal family had received a good education since they were young. Everyone was not too stupid and would soon be able to draw inferences from one example. Xia Qingxin led them
Let them start practicing.
"Thirty thousand! Eight tubes." The joy on Baili Mingyu's face was unmistakable. After hitting thirty thousand, he listened to the cards.
"What nonsense! Give me money, give me money!" Xia Qingxin pushed down the card and reached out to Baili Mingyu to ask for money. Baili Mingyu looked at her and his eyes widened, and it seemed that he didn't want to admit that he fired the gun.
Xia Qingxin immediately yelled when she saw his appearance. She hated people without brand names the most. The most important thing in traveling around the world is brand names. "I said you are the king of a country and you are trying to cheat. You have so many little wives."
Look at it!”
When Baili Mingyu saw that there were indeed people around him secretly looking this way, he immediately asked for money from Eunuch Li behind him and gave it to Xia Qingxin. He still didn't believe that he, a majestic king of a country, could not win.
“Come again, come again!”
Xia Qingxin looked at Baili Mingyu's unyielding look and glanced at Baili Mingxi. He immediately received the signal and made a clear move.
"Thirty thousand."
"What a fool!" Baili Mingxuan was defeated by Xia Qingxin just after she shouted. She should not have won by herself.
"Eighty thousand." Baili Mingyu drew a card and was very disappointed. He just wanted a card worth 60,000.
"Sixty thousand." Baili Mingxi's hit of 60,000 was his timely rain. Just when Baili Mingyu was about to push the cards and feel proud, Xia Qingxin made another move.
I saw her excitedly pushing down the card and saying: "You're fooling again, give me money, give me money!"
Baili Mingyu couldn't help it as soon as he saw it, and he was also crazy. How should this be calculated?
"I'm crazy too."
Xia Qingxin looked at his expression and laughed out loud, pointing at him and saying, "I'll cut off my beard! Once I'm beheaded, you can't be bewildered anymore, haha."
Baili Mingyu was so angry that he pushed down the cards and stopped playing. This was a handle specially designed to defeat him. It was a trick, it was obviously a trick.
"Your Majesty, are you angry?"
When Xia Qingxin saw that something was wrong, she quickly stepped forward to comfort him. It would be bad if he became angry from shame.
"I'm not that stingy. I just think this kind of game is boring. I won't play anymore because I'm hungry."
Baili Mingxi immediately clapped his hands and said, "Come here, bring up the tables, put the food on the table, and get ready for the banquet."
Fortunately, the main hall had enough space, and several unique tables were set up. The tables were filled with vegetables and meat, all of which were raw. Xia Qingxin understood at a glance that this was the time for hot pot.
I didn't expect Baili Mingxi to be quite smart. I just gave a rough description and he could do a decent job. I can only say that he is rich and willful.
"Brother, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say you are bringing me delicious food? Why are they all raw?" Baili Mingyu felt bad looking at the lettuce and raw meat on the table.
Baili Mingxuan interrupted at this time: "Brother Huang, you don't know something now. This is a very popular hot pot among the people. These raw things need to be cooked in the bottom of a pot. Brother Huang will know later."
Already."
"Then let's wait and see, brother."
After a while, people came up with the bottom of the pot. It suddenly overflowed the entire hall. I missed this smell so much.
At this time, the dumpling-making competition also came to an end, and Xia Qingxin was preparing to select the top three, which made many people nervous.
In order to avoid the possibility of cheating this time, Xia Qingxin specially asked Baili Mingxi and Baili Mingxuan to serve as judges. The four of them sat side by side on chairs and carefully enjoyed the dumplings served by the servants.
Concubine Ning was stunned when she looked at the dumplings served below. Each dumpling looked prettier than the last. Aren't they afraid of their own revenge? How dare a group of little bitches compete with her for first place here. She will remember this grudge.
.
After fierce competition, the top three were announced, namely the talented girl Dong Xiaoxiao, the talented girl Er Ji Miaomiao and Hu Xiaorong. Hu Xiaorong thought she could be the first place, so she secretly gave a piece of silver to the chef next to her when others were not paying attention.
, I never wanted to be too strict in the investigation, so I could only make some small moves, but I still lost to others.
"Who are Dong Cainv, Ji Cainv, and Hu Zhaoyi? Come forward and I will give you a reward."
"Servants Dong Cainv, Ji Cainv, and my concubine Hu Zhaoyi pay homage to the Queen, Your Majesty, Prince Xi, and Prince Xuan."
"Come on, queen, what are you going to do for me?" Baili Mingyu didn't understand. Why should he come forward if he just rewarded her?
"Bi He, bring up my laurel wreaths and give them to the empresses, as well as gifts."
These crowns were carefully made by her master, and she was originally planning to sell them, but she really couldn't go out, and she felt that she wouldn't make the money anyway, since the treasury wouldn't be able to spend all the money anyway.
After Bihe was served, all the concubines present were shocked. There was such an ingenious design in the world. It was so beautiful.
Looking at the dazzling appearance of the three people standing in front of her, Concubine Ning's jealousy spread like a prairie fire. How could those lowly maids deserve to have such a good thing? It should all be hers.
"Okay, all of them have been sealed. In view of the fact that the top three performed very well this time, we will make a table for dinner with me today. In the future, Beigong will often hold such activities. I hope you will go down and practice yourselves often.
Talent may come to the fore one day, do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you, Queen." The surprise of the three of them was beyond words. They were allowed to have dinner with the Emperor. What an honor it was.
In particular, Baili Mingxuan looked at Xia Qingxin strangely. According to rumors, she was arrogant, domineering and ugly. But today, she turned out to be such a beautiful woman, and her decisions were unexpected. No wonder she was accepted in the first place.
As expected, the rumors about Lan Lingyu's favor are not credible.
Baili Mingyu stared at Xia Qingxin with his deep eyes, as if he was meeting her for the first time. Her appearance had long been blurred in his mind, and now he only saw her eyes as bright as the stars.
The fairy in the sky.
"I am so lucky to have a queen like you in this life."
Xia Qingxin's heart skipped a beat when she heard these words. Oh no, it couldn't have been something she did. The smile gradually froze on her face.
When Baili Mingxi saw that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately smoothed things over and said, "Brother, are you showing off your wife to us? We haven't even gotten married yet."
Just as Xia Qingxin was about to answer the question, a female voice came from the door: "Brother Sanhuang, are you missing his wife?"
From what she said, could it be that she is the eldest princess Baili Yuting?
Xia Qingxin watched a woman wearing palace clothes walk in from the entrance of the hall, followed by a row of maids. The scene was really grand.
"Yu Ting, meet the eldest brother, the wife, and the third brother." The woman bowed slightly and looked up at them with a smile. Xia Qingxin and she were meeting each other for the first time, and they were both sizing each other up.
This princess has a sharp and mean look on her face, and she looks like someone who is not easy to get along with. She also has a fake smile on her face, which makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at her.
This is the woman Nalan Lingyu likes? Isn't she not that good? She is average-looking and rumored to be immoral. How can she be worthy of such a beautiful man as Nalan Lingyu? Only she can be worthy of him in this world.
"This is Princess Yuting. Speaking of which, I have never seen you since I entered the palace. Today is just the right time to come. We have just prepared to have lunch, so come and sit down."
Xia Qingxin put on a professional fake smile to greet the princess. Somehow she always felt that the princess was hostile to her, but she had never seen her before, so how could she become enemies with her?
"That's right, my dear sister, what are you busy with these days? My dear brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." Baili Mingyu also hasn't seen her, my dear sister, for a long time.
What are you busy with? Of course, you are busy embroidering your own wedding dress. Nalan Lingyu will return to the court tomorrow. Then she will ask the emperor to grant her a marriage, so that she can marry him. Isn't this great?
"It's nothing, I'm just concentrating on studying female celebrities in the palace."
"When did the imperial sister become so obedient?" Baili Mingxi couldn't help but sarcastically said. Speaking of who he hated the most in this palace, there was none other than Baili Yuting. She really deserves to be the same as Baili.
Mingyu was born from the same mother, she was unruly and domineering, and she was the one who would definitely retaliate. He had not forgotten that when she was seven years old, she dared to push him into the lotus pond and drown him. Fortunately, he was lucky, otherwise he would have died long ago.
"Brother Three Emperors, who do you think you are? It's not your turn to talk about my affairs!" Suddenly the dinner table was tense. Just now, I thought she could bear it, but it didn't take more than three seconds to reveal her secret. It seemed that she was a big villain.
"What are you arguing about? We are all brothers and sisters. We don't mind losing the royal dignity. We are here for the reunion dinner today. If anyone doesn't want to eat, please go out now." Baili Mingyu's good mood just arrived was ruined. This
Yu Ting has been really overbearing since she was a child, and she gives me a headache when I see her.
"Huh!" Baili Yuting turned her face to one side, but Xia Qingxin had no choice but to act as peacemaker in order to adjust the atmosphere at the table. They didn't want to have a good meal, so she still wanted to.
After a while, the atmosphere on the table returned to what it was just now. Everyone started eating in a lively manner. The entire Fengxia Palace was filled with lights and was very lively. It really had a Chinese New Year atmosphere. (To be continued)
