419. Gambling

The eldest prince is good at gambling, but his skills are not good, his temperament is impatient, and he is not willing to study hard, and he is not as experienced and skilled as those eunuchs who are mixed in various gambling games.

Although he can't lose a few silver, but winning or losing is a matter of face, the eldest prince doesn't feel sorry for the silver, but he can't bear the shame that losing brings him, he is the prince and the grandson of the dragon, he was born superior, how can he lose? And what he enjoys is the excitement of the moment when he wins, the intense pleasure that arises from the satisfaction of his desires. But he often loses, and the desire to ask but not be suppressed gradually distorts the already deformed psychology of the eldest prince, making the brutal prince more and more violent, and the obsession with winning in his heart is also deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

When the eunuchs saw that the prince couldn't afford to lose, they gradually became reluctant to gamble with the prince, and would rather not win money, and would rather be abused and punished by the prince than participate in the gambling game of the prince.

The eldest prince gradually understood why no one gambled with him anymore, and then he no longer embarrassed those eunuchs, but rewarded the eunuchs who gambled together, and the eunuchs who were greedy for money couldn't resist the temptation and gambled with the prince in private.

In order to protect themselves, the eunuchs who accompanied the eldest prince to gamble hinted that those who intended to please the eldest prince would give the eldest prince beautiful women, and those people would naturally do so, and those beauties who were honored by the lower people carried the anger of the eldest prince after losing.

When the sky was dark, the eldest prince sent someone to find Xu Shu, and Xu Shu followed with low eyebrows.

The gambling game is located in the side hall of the Laiyi Palace, which was originally intended to be a study for the eldest prince, but it was slightly transformed by the eldest prince, and the inner room used for rest was changed into a carnival place for gathering people to gamble.

The palace maid who led the way only led Xu Shu to the door of the study and stopped, "After the girl enters, someone will lead you over to teach you how to act!" ”

Xu Shu could only enter alone, but no one led her over as the palace maid said, and the room was quiet, just like when she was brought into Taichang Palace, someone wanted to test her hearing.

Xu Shu stepped in slowly, avoiding the stools and other objects that were deliberately placed to block her on the way forward, but when she walked to the bookcase, she looked to the right, and Ying Ying bowed, "The people's daughter greets the eldest prince!" ”

The eldest prince stroked his palms and laughed, "The blind man's hearing is really incomparable to ordinary people!" The prince also specially ordered someone to put an obstacle in the middle of the room, but you didn't touch any of them, and you even knew that the prince was not sitting in front of the bookcase, and you could accurately find the location of the prince, how did you do it? ”

"This morning, the folk girl saw the eldest prince and smelled the breath of Xi Lan incense, so the people and the people relied on the fragrance of Xi Lan to identify the location of the eldest prince!"

The eldest prince sniffed his sleeves, and didn't smell any fragrance of Xi Lanxiang, but he had to go to Zhong Cui Palace every day to greet Concubine Shu, and it was not surprising that his body would be stained with Concubine Shu's favorite Xi Lan incense, and he became more and more interested in Xu Shu's skills.

It's just that since Xu Shu entered the palace, he hasn't really seen Xu Shu's ability to listen to dice, although Xu Shu said that she can do it, but for the sake of insurance, the eldest prince still took out the dice cup again, shook it a few times and put it down, "The simplest, guess the size!" ”

Xu Shu smiled lightly and reported a number, "Ten o'clock!" ”

The eldest prince opened the dice cup, and suddenly changed his face, but it became a smiling face, it was really ten o'clock, not much at all, no less, exactly ten o'clock, the eldest prince suddenly came to be interested, "Come again!" ”

Xu Shu politely refused, "Listening to the dice requires concentration, which is very draining, if you consume too much at the moment, I'm afraid it will be difficult later!" ”

The eldest prince was stunned, in order to be ashamed of the gambling game later, the eldest prince had to put away the dice cup with infinite regret, glanced at the clock, and led Xu Shu to the inner room behind the bookshelf.

After a while, the eunuchs gradually came in familiarly, laughing and greeting the eldest prince, seeing that the woman next to the eldest prince was a strange face, he knew that the woman who accompanied him a few days ago was about to be abolished, so today he changed to a new person, and saw that Xu Shu was thin, and he didn't know how many days he could last, so he talked in a low voice.

The time was almost up, the eldest prince glanced up, they all came to play with him often, and suddenly found that there was one person missing, so he asked, "Why did Gao Ying come?" ”

The eunuch on the side replied, "Father-in-law Gao is on duty today, and he can't get out!" As you know, the errand of the Heart Cultivation Palace is not to say that someone can replace it, after all, under the emperor's nose, he doesn't dare to go out of the pool! ”

The eldest prince sighed, feeling a little pity, every time he has to belong to this Gao Ying to win the most, today he also plans to win a few games against him, kill Gao Ying's arrogance, but he didn't expect to run into Gao Ying on duty, it's a pity!

Another eunuch smiled, "Gonggong Gao is not here today, but he wants to be a cheap slave!" It can be seen that in addition to Gao Ying, he usually wins the most.

Immediately, some people were not convinced, "Bah, Ma Qian, are you embarrassed to say such arrogant words in front of the eldest prince?" Will you be the opponent of the Great Prince? ”

Although the eldest prince often loses, this does not affect the flattery and flattery of the people below against their will, and this is also very useful for the eldest prince!

Ma Qian slapped himself knowingly, "Look at the minions, there is no one to guard the door, the eldest prince has the protection of the real dragon, how can the minions compare!" ”

The eldest prince was praised flutteringly, and he was very proud in his heart, secretly thinking that he would have to let this group of fools see how powerful he was today! "Okay, okay, since Gao Ying can't come, the people are all together, what are you waiting for, hurry up and start!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to start, Ma Qian immediately became excited, "Whose turn is it to sit in the village today?" ”

Everyone was thinking about whose dealer it was last time, and a eunuch close to the eldest prince suddenly stretched out his hand to Xu Shu with an evil smile on his face, "This little beauty is new, right?" What if she was the one who sat in the bank? ”

Xu Shu, who had been sitting honestly on the side of the eldest prince, was "frightened" and fell backwards with a cry of surprise, and the eunuch's hand stretched out to Xu Shu's face in a daze, and he was about to touch Xu Shu's face, when he suddenly stretched out a hand obliquely and shook the eunuch's hand away.
