Chapter 576 What on earth do you want?
The young eunuch responded, "A few days ago, His Majesty the Twelfth Prince even hung a lot of red velvet flowers on it. It looked very festive."
Shen Shuyi smiled and felt that the eunuch in charge of Chonghua Palace was not arrogant at all and was quite friendly.
It was not until he entered the main hall that Shen Shuyi saw Concubine Xiang and several maids and nannies playing mahjong at a table. She did not act like a favored concubine, but was rather friendly and easy to talk to.
"Your Majesty, Princess Changning is here." The young eunuch said with a smile.
Xiang Fei looked up and saw that it was Shen Shuyi. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how to play mahjong? I'm not lucky today. How about you help me with a couple of hands?"
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "I know a little bit, but if you lose, it's your fault."
Xiang Fei laughed: "No wonder Hongyan said that he never made any money during the few times he met you."
Seeing Xiang Fei stand up and give up her seat, Shen Shuyi didn't care about the formalities and sat in her seat to start drawing cards.
She hadn't touched this thing for some years, but in her previous life, after she married into the Chengguo Mansion, in order to please her mother-in-law, she helped Xiao Tingshan win over the ladies of various families and played with it for a while.
Later, after Xiao Tingshan regained his status as a prince, this thing was no longer needed.
After playing several rounds in a row, Shen Shuyi gradually found some feeling. Not only did he win back all the money he lost in the previous rounds, he also helped Empress Xiangfei to turn over the cards.
Xiang Fei completely ignored her status and stood behind Shen Shuyi, clapping and cheering from time to time.
Sitting opposite Shen Shuyi was a nanny who looked a bit shrewd, on the left was an elderly palace maid, and on the right was a eunuch.
It can be seen that they are all influential people in Chonghua Palace.
"Your Majesty, you'd better kick this county lady out. If she continues to win, I won't even have enough money to buy my coffin." The seemingly cunning old woman said dissatisfiedly.
"Your Majesty has finally won the silver. How could you possibly drive away the God of Wealth who has come to your door?" the eunuch said with a smile.
This game lasted for a long time.
At this moment, Rouxi Palace.
The people sent by Concubine Rou waited for a long time, but Shen Shuyi did not show up in front of the palace gate.
However, the people who were sent out later hurried back.
"What did you say?" Concubine Rou narrowed her eyes and looked unsightly.
"The Princess of Changning...did indeed go to Chonghua Palace." Lan Yue said in a low voice.
"What is she doing in Chonghua Palace? How could she meet her?" Concubine Rou murmured to herself.
Lipin wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to open her mouth.
Yes, the lady in Chonghua Palace usually stays indoors except during festivals or the birthdays of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and she refuses to see guests.
How could I meet Shen Shuyi now?
At this time, Eunuch Hai also came back. He looked at Concubine Rou and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have tried to test the guard captain Zheng Yuan several times and interrogated him once, but he just said that he had never seen that thing..."
Concubine Rou sneered: "I haven't seen it, so is it a ghost?"
Shen Shuyi wandered around the palace and went to many places, and finally ran to Chonghua Palace.
Where on earth could she hide it, or what was she planning to do?
Concubine Rou collected her thoughts and rubbed her temples with a headache: "Get rid of the person."
"Yes." Eunuch Hai responded and stepped back.
Lipin couldn't help herself and spoke again: "Sister, what will happen if she really takes that thing out of the palace?"
Concubine Rou glanced at her and sneered: "All of you Chai family must die!"
Lipin's heart tightened: "Then...what should we do now?"
Concubine Rou's eyes were gloomy. "I will send a message to my brother and ask him to arrange some men to kill Shen Shuyi outside the palace. As for your Chai family, you can only wish for the best!"
Upon hearing this, Lipin immediately knelt down and said, "Sister, our Chai family has always followed your and the Third Prince's lead. You absolutely cannot ignore us!"
Concubine Rou glanced at her coldly and said, "You are pregnant with the heir of the dragon. If the truth is revealed, His Majesty may spare your life, but I don't know whether your Chai family will have such good luck."
Concubine Li turned pale and fell to the ground.
no, I can not.
The Chai family was more of helping the Third Prince to make fake silver and transport official silver. The matter of eating empty salaries back then had nothing to do with them...
But having said that, the issue of drawing a salary without working did indirectly affect the Battle of Lushan and the extermination of the Jiang family, especially since his father had once accused Jiang Yanhu of treason and betrayal, so no matter how you look at it, it cannot be proven wrong.
They can't pick them all off, and Concubine Rou and Xiao Heyu may push the Chai family to be scapegoats at any time. What should they do now?
The Chai family...how did it end up like this?
"Someone, change your clothes. I want to go and pay a visit to Sister Xiang Fei." Concubine Rou said in a deep voice.
Although she didn't want to make this trip, she had to go now.
But she didn't want to see that person...
Chonghua Palace.
Shen Shuyi was fighting enthusiastically with a few others when the little eunuch came in again to report.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou requests to see you."
Shen Shuyi's hands remained unchanged. Wow, this Concubine Rou came really quickly.
Xiang Fei looked calm and said, "Tell her it's not convenient today and come back another day."
"Yes."
The gate of Chonghua Palace was closed. Concubine Rou changed into a crimson purple phoenix robe and waited patiently in front of the palace gate.
After a while, the young eunuch opened the door a crack and people squeezed out.
"Greetings, Madam Roufei. Our Madam said that it is not convenient today, so please come back another day."
Frost and Snow and Midwinter on the side frowned at the same time, speaking up for their master.
But unfortunately, this is not the first time that their master has run into a wall here.
Concubine Rou's eyes were solemn: "Please tell my sister that I have something important to see her about."
The young eunuch had no choice but to run again.
Concubine Xiang was still staring at the cards. After hearing what the young eunuch said, she hadn't spoken yet when the shrewd nanny sitting opposite Shen Shuyi couldn't help but speak.
"Is she annoying? She said she wouldn't meet him but she still wants to meet him. What does she want?"
As she spoke, the nanny threw out a card, obviously angry.
Shen Shuyi looked normal, but he saw the whole scene.
The people in Chonghua Palace...seem to dislike Concubine Rou very much.
The eunuch who was shuffling cards on the other side also said, "Xiao Zhuzi, didn't your master teach you that if the queen says she won't see you, then she won't see you. Why are you going through all this trouble again? Aren't your legs tired?"
The old eunuch gave Xiao Zhuzi a sarcastic reminder. Xiao Zhuzi scratched his head, his face flushed with embarrassment, and turned around and ran back.
"I don't know what Concubine Rou is doing here again. She is just taking advantage of the master's soft heart." The senior palace maid at the side also shook her head and played a leaf card.
"It's a mess." Shen Shuyi pushed the cards down and looked at them with a smile.
The cunning woman slapped the table and glared at Shen Shuyi: "Girl, you came here today to ask for a favor, right? Look at you, do you have the slightest intention of asking for help?"
Shen Shuyi curled his eyes and said, "One thing is one thing, who would have a problem with money?"
