Rudong stuck out his tongue and laughed: "You know, I'm just this broken mouth, well, it's right that you don't tell me." ”

Two days later, Niu Tao came to Baiyu Hall to deliver food again, and as soon as he saw Yue'er, he said flatteringly: "Niangniang, when the villain left the palace yesterday, he helped you deliver the letter, you haven't seen that Hu San, he's a cripple, haha." ”

Yue'er laughed secretly in her heart, Hu San was stabbed by her, and the injury was not healed, but he was not really lame.

"Oh, thank you very much, you can go back in two days, he should have something for you, and you can bring it back to me then."

"Okay, no problem."

After another two days, Niu Tao really brought Yue'er a small package, and thanked him vigorously, Yue'er asked, it was Hu San who gave him a reward of one or two silver.

Yue'er asked again: "The third master didn't ask you anything, did he?" ”

"No, no, he didn't ask anything, but when he gave me this package, he seemed very solemn and respectful."

"Okay, you go, I need anything next time, and I will trouble Junior Officer Niu."

"Niang Niang is polite, Niang Niang is polite."

Yue'er asked a few words about the situation outside, and when she talked about the Frost Leaf Pavilion, she looked at Niu Tao's eyes, hoping to ask something, but Niu Tao looked ignorant and didn't know at all.

After sending Niu Tao away, Yue'er returned to the house to open the package.

There are two pieces of soft leather in the package, one is a soft skin with pitted holes according to Yue'er's requirements, and the other is an ordinary human skin mask, which makes Yue'er very happy.

Simon's people were very thoughtful, they prepared one more for Yue'er, and in the future, they didn't have to be so troublesome to put on makeup, just dip some water on their faces, and this soft skin is very breathable, and it is not sad to stick it.

There is also a letter in the package, which is to ask the door master to make several decisions, one of which is that Bai Ye is looking for trouble again, how to deal with it.

Yue'er wrote an instruction, asking Liu Erye's people to endure it first, and at the same time gave the first order, this order was to keep an eye on Li Dahao, the king of Xiping, she wrote the letter and sealed it into wax pills, planning to let Niu Tao send it the next day.

"Do I want to write a letter to Cao Gongzi as well?"

Yue'er still couldn't let go of her worries about that Zhaoju, but then immediately denied herself, she was in danger now, if that mysterious organization knew that she was not dead, she would definitely take action, what secret did her mother-in-law know, they had to kill her?

These days, Yue'er pays special attention to Lu Yao, this little palace maid is diligent and doesn't talk much, she tried it a few times, Lu Yao doesn't look like anyone's eyeliner, so she slowly put her mind at ease, but she was a little worried about her two flying knives, quietly wrapped it in a cloth, moved the lid of the pit well in the garden, and threw it down.

Living in the palace, it is said that leisure is really leisure, if you want to do it, you can do nothing, but Yue'er's daily schedule is full of arrangements, she practices in the morning, rests in the morning to read and write, takes a nap at noon, and rehearses the dance with musicians in the afternoon, she wants a piano or pipa, but Zhou Shanggong neither agreed, nor refused, but there was no follow-up.

During this period, the queen personally came to Baiyu Hall to comfort Concubine Duan once, Yue'er asked if she could go to the queen mother and the queen to say goodbye, and the queen immediately refused, saying that she was still recuperating and recuperating from her injuries.

Concubine Baili was very cautious, after the Kunxi Hall was cleaned up, she didn't invite Yue'er over, her situation was worse than it seemed to be Yue'er, although her life improved, but Emperor Xuanling seemed to forget her.

Every time Zhao Zhen entered the palace, he tried to find a way to see Yue'er and told her that she wanted to see her mother, but Concubine Baili seemed to be iron-hearted, so she refused to see her.

Liu Erye's subordinates soon sent a reply letter, reporting to Yue'er the whereabouts of King Xiping, this Li Dahao was eating, drinking and having fun on the surface, but in fact, he also secretly communicated with some nobles in Xichun Kingdom, asking her what she would do next, and there was another major matter that she had to decide as the new master.

This matter is that Gale City suddenly opened eight or nine pharmacies, and now they want to open two stores in the West Gate, and the owner of this pharmacy brought generous gifts to see Liu Erye several times, and asked Yue'er if she agreed, and the letter also mentioned that these pharmacies sell a pill called Da Hong Pill, which is very popular, and it will be sold out as soon as it goes to the store.

In addition, there is another major event, that is, when the Big Bird Kingdom mission returned to the grassland, it was robbed and killed by a group of bandits of unknown origin on the way, fortunately, the Big Bird Mission that came this time are all elites, everyone knows martial arts, they killed the bandits and fled, and there is also a person mentioned here, that is Murong Qi'er, she disappeared after this war and is missing.

Regarding the mission of the Big Bird Country, Liu Erye said when he was leaving, and the big red pill was also mentioned by Liu Erye, Yue'er thought about it, and replied to give an order, first, to continue to monitor Li Dahao, and second, to resolutely not see the owner of the pharmacy that sold the big red pill, and not to allow them to open a store in the west gate, but to quietly investigate, what is this big red pill and where does it come from.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

That night, the first snow of the year, which was belated, finally fell.

When I get up in the morning, the whole yard is white, as if covered with a thick white quilt, and the air becomes extremely fresh.

Yue'er swept out a vacant lot by herself, practiced as usual, and after breakfast, she went to the room to practice calligraphy, and Lu Yao made a charcoal stove, still shivering slightly from the cold.

was practicing, and suddenly the door curtain was lifted, and Rudong walked in with a letterhead.

"Niangniang, Jing Guiyi sent someone to deliver a letter."

Yue'er was a little strange, Jing Guiyi suddenly sent a letter to herself, what did she mean, she took the letterhead and opened it, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Niangniang, what did Jing Guiyi write?"

"She said that tomorrow is Xiaoxue, and invited a few sisters to Anhua Hall to enjoy the plum blossoms, and have a drink by the way."

"Are you going?"

"Of course I want to go, even if it's a Hongmen banquet, I'm going to go, Rudong, you help me prepare a gift."

"Yes."

"What else do I have to bring?"

"Bring money."

"What are you doing with money?"

"I guess Jing Guiyi and they will play dice or pai gow."

Yue'er sighed.

"Can you still gamble in the palace?"

"Usually gambling money is forbidden, but the New Year Festival can, tomorrow is a light snow, according to the rules of the palace, you can play, if it is the Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to playing dice, you concubines can also play pai gow all night!"

"Oh, how big are they?"

"I heard that Guiyi and Zhaoyi win or lose in one night, more than a thousand taels, less than a few hundred taels, Guifei I don't know, I think it should be bigger."

Yue'er was taken aback.

"With such a big bet, how can they have enough palace points for a year?"

"Since they can afford to play, they can afford to lose, like Lin Zhaoyi often gets rewards from the emperor, any string of beads on her body is worth one hundred and ten taels, and winning or losing thousands is nothing."

"Then Jing Guiyi invites me to go tomorrow, if I gamble, the win or loss may be very big?"

"Yes, if you don't find an excuse to resign, the total belongings of Baiyu Hall are only one hundred and ten taels, and it is not enough to lose them all."

"No, I'm going, this kind of opportunity is rare, even if I lose, I'm going to take a look."

Yue'er wrote a reply to Jing Guiyi, saying that she would be on time.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yue'er went to Kunxi Hall to find Concubine Baili, and she didn't know the bottom of this matter, so she wanted to ask Concubine Baili's opinion.

Entering the Kunxi Palace, a chill came to my face.

Kunxi Hall is not big, half smaller than Baiyu Palace, there is a garden inside, but there are only a few newly moved ancient pine bonsai in the garden, all the ground is paved with green bricks, and several palaces inside are very dark, and there seems to be no windows on the wall.

Yue'er entered the Kunxi Hall for the first time, Su Zi led her into the main hall, and found that it was very dilapidated, there was no powder on the wall, the blue bricks were exposed, many gaps leaked wind, the temperature in the main hall was almost the same as the outside, and there was a shrine facing south of the main hall, there was no offering to the gods, only a blackened landscape painting was hung.

Concubine Baili was sitting near the door of the palace, although there was a charcoal brazier in the hall, it was not lit, she was covered with a thick cotton coat, and there was a stick of incense in front of her, Yue'er was a little strange, how could Concubine Baili sit at the door on such a cold day.
