Chapter 144: Dragon Boat Racing Bet

Su Youyi thought to herself, she is good friends with so many people in the palace, can she invite all of them to the Star Picking Pavilion?

Hearing Concubine Xian's words, Bai Yu's face changed.

Concubine Yan didn't react, but explained to Su Youyi, "Where will I wrap any zongzi, I can only eat it." Sister Zhao, do you still have any zongzi? If there is still one, I will send someone over to ask for a few tastings in a while, and see if it is the food in the imperial dining room or the food in your bag? ”

Su Youyi glanced at her gratefully and said with a smile: "Naturally, my skills can't be compared with the chef in the imperial dining room, but Sister Su and Sister Sima are very good, and even the eldest prince is dressed in a similar way." If Sister Yan doesn't dislike it, I'll send someone to send some to your palace in a while. ”

There was movement in the Yuhu Lake behind him, and five dragon boats were launched at the same time, and the neatly dressed eunuchs on the boats were all small eunuchs in the harem, and the color of each boat was different.

Concubine Xian walked towards the water pavilion behind her, and everyone followed her to sit down.

I only heard Concubine Xian say: "If you sisters are interested, let's make a bet." Bet on the ranking of these five dragon boats and see which one wins. ”

The dragon boat race was organized by Concubine Xian, and the people were also found by her, how could you win a bet with her?

Except for Sima who promised to observe the little eunuchs who were rowing, everyone else showed a thoughtful attitude and did not speak for a while.

Concubine Hui said: "Concubine Xian, what do you want to bet on?" ”

Concubine Xian smiled, "It's just a joke, everyone can just take something to make a lottery head." Hongu first-"

As she spoke, she removed a coral bracelet from her wrist, and the red light shone brightly, and she could see that it was not a mortal product that could be taken out "casually".

Su Youyi couldn't help but remember that Concubine Xian had rewarded her with a red gold bracelet, and that bracelet was simply different from the coral bracelet in front of her.

Everyone looked at the handpiece and felt respect for a while.

Concubine Xian took out such a valuable thing, if they took it too casually, wouldn't it be a joke?

"Concubine Hui, what about yours?"

Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui thought for a moment, and actually reached out to take off the dot emerald phoenix hairpin on her head, "This phoenix hairpin is upside down, the dot emerald on the top is very delicately inlaid, and it was given to the palace when the first queen was there." Today, since the sisters are in good spirits, this palace will take it out to make a lottery. ”

The eldest prince sat in the lower position, and when he heard that this thing was rewarded by the first queen, he immediately turned his face impatiently.

The things that the first queen rewarded, Concubine Hui seemed to wear them preciously, but she took them out at will to make bets for the sake of face, which shows that she was not worried that the items left by the first queen would be taken by others.

Such a treasure is too hypocritical.

Concubine Yan and Concubine Fang also took off the most valuable jewelry on their bodies in turn, and when it was Jiang Guiren's turn, I don't know if she knew Concubine Xian's plan in advance or if she was dressed very expensive on weekdays, she actually picked a string of red jade beads from her neck.

Everyone was in an uproar, the value of this red jade bead was only comparable to that of Concubine Xian's coral hand.

The two of them are worthy of being young ladies from everyone's background, and they are so precious that they can take something from their bodies at will, and everyone has been compared to each other.

When it was Su Youyi's turn, everyone couldn't help but wonder what she would come up with.

Su Youyi has always dressed simply, and the emperor has rewarded her with a lot of valuable jewelry, but she has never loved it.

If something like this is too cheap, it will be ridiculed.

Concubine Xian looked at her for a long time, as if she was waiting for her to make a fool of herself at this time.

Su Youyi was thinking about what she should take out, when she suddenly saw the eldest prince step forward and said, "I'll give it for Concubine Zhao." This is a dragon pattern pendant rewarded by the father, which is probably not inferior to these hairpin rings. ”

Not only is it not inferior, the value of this dragon pattern is enough to compare the coral bracelet of Concubine Xian and the red jade beads of Jiang Guiren to the soil.

Su Youyi hurriedly handed the jade pendant back into his hands, "How can the eldest prince take out such a valuable thing at will?" If the emperor found out, he would be angry. Thank you for the kindness of the eldest prince, I can still take a small bet. ”

After that, a thin gold wire was hooked from the collar of his neck, and everyone looked closely, and it turned out to be a thin necklace.

Su Youyi said: "This is the tribute brought by the emperor when the Western tribute table clock was brought to me last time." This chain is upside down, and the precious thing is this amber, which is filled with Western insects, which we can't see in our country. ”

After saying that, she handed it to the people around her, and Concubine Yan took it one by one, and couldn't help but let out a voice of admiration, "What kind of insect is this, how can it be so beautiful?" It is said that butterflies are smaller than butterflies, but moths are much more beautiful than moths, which is really rare. ”

Everyone watched them one by one, some said that insects were rare, some said that it was rare to have their wings intact, and more praised the exquisite craftsmanship of the West.

Not to mention the side, it is rare that this ordinary chain can be made so finely, no wonder Su Youyi is wearing it in her clothes, and no one can see it.

Concubine Xian really thought that she didn't have any valuable jewelry on her, so she would use this trick, and she didn't want Su Youyi to hide a hand.

To her, no matter how precious amber is, she is even more rare than a worm, and the emperor alone gave this object to Su Youyi, so that she is not angry.

In the past, if there were any precious tributes, the emperor would at least put them on the surface, first reward the queen and people of her equal honorable position, and then it was the turn of the favorite concubine.

For example, in the last Shu brocade, Rao was demoted and grounded, and the emperor still rewarded her with a horse.

This time it's good, if Su Youyi hadn't taken it out herself, she wouldn't even know that there was such a thing as a Western tribute.

Su Youyi has it, but is there a queen there?

Concubine Xian's face was not as pleasant as Fang Cai, and everyone took out the bet, just waiting for her to say how to bet.

Yi'er quietly signaled to Concubine Xian before she came back to her senses, "You saw the five boats on the lake, right?" The boats are all powerful eunuchs in the palace, and the palace specially selected them to row the dragon boat. You can observe which ship will win by yourself, and the one who bets on the right one can get the bet taken out by the loser, what do you think? ”

There are a total of five colors on the lake: red, yellow, blue, white, and black, Su Youyi smiled casually: "Since the person is selected by the virtuous concubine, in order to show fairness, why don't you let the concubines bet first?" ”

Concubine Xian's chin was raised, a little contemptuous, "Naturally." ”

She came from a prominent background, so naturally it is not uncommon to win this jewelry from concubines, and she disdains cheating and losing her face.

So she skipped Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui came to bet first, she looked at the lake, "Then the palace will bet on the red team, and the red looks festive." ”

Sima agreed to roll his eyes, this kind of reason is okay?
