Entering the Shanglin Garden, it is really a splendid pile, with different fragrances, embellishing the quiet place on weekdays like a sea of spring flowers, in contrast, the osmanthus flowers with a strong fragrance and lively blooming are suddenly gloomy.

In order to enjoy the moon, there are no lights in Shanglin Garden. The bright moon in the sky is bright, but it is lost by these jade beads, rings, gold and silver threads, purple and red on the ground, so I don't know whether people appreciate the moon or the moon rewards people.

The concubines spoke separately, and no one noticed Su Jinling's arrival, so the two palace maids led her to Concubine Xian, who was sitting on the stone of Taihu Lake, and whispered in Concubine Xian's ear. The slanted eyes and the slightly pursed corners of her mouth make it easy to imagine what she is reporting.

Concubine Xian didn't blame her, but only looked at her deeply.

Seeing Concubine Xian get up, all the concubines and concubines closed their voices, lowered their eyes, and followed behind Concubine Xian with their respective palace people.

The southeast corner of Shanglin Garden has placed an offering table, which is a moonlight position. The four plates of fruits on the table are all round, which means that the reunion is complete; Four plates of mooncakes, each plate of mooncakes stacked half a foot high. In the middle there is a large wooden plate with a full foot diameter of round moon cakes, which are made for the sacrifice of rabbits. In addition, there are two sprigs of new edamame and four bowls of tea brewed with cold water.

Concubine Xian personally invited the god code to come and unfold the ...... The above is painted is the Bodhisattva statue sitting on the lotus, the moonlight shines all over, under the flower is the moon wheel laurel hall, there is a jade rabbit holding a pestle like a person standing in the mortar to pound medicine.

Insert the moonshine paper into the bronze square bucket incense altar that is filled with new sorghum in advance and pasted with yellow paper on the mouth, and then the virtuous concubines are in the front, and the concubines are arranged in order, and Su Jinling and other palace maids are at the end, and they all kneel down.

Concubine Xian burned the moonlight paper and led everyone to bow three times.

When Su Jinling bowed down, he suddenly saw Fan Yingbo kneeling behind him.

She also saw Su Jinling, but her face was expressionless, leaning over and bowing three times with everyone.

After the ceremony, everyone returned to their original places, ate moon cakes, tasted melons and fruits, drank fine wine, enjoyed the moonlight together, and spent a good night together.

The concubines have always been less active and go to bed early, and they have been busy for so long today, and they have long been tired, but the legend is that the later they sleep on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the longer they live, so no one will leave first, and they will also order the maid to stay by the side, if they see that they are sleepy, they must wake up.

But how long can it last?

Some people have already prepared tangrams, nine rings, and pitchers to relieve boredom, but they often play these, and they can't lift their spirits for a long time, so someone proposed that Su Jinling sing songs.

Su Jinling saw that the moon was empty, and thought that it had just passed, if she wanted to sing until dawn, she was afraid that she would be tired, and she had just sung two songs, and she hypnotized more than a dozen people. At this time, two new nobles quarreled over who was too late.

Su Jinling's eyes fell on the black and white chess pieces, and suddenly he had an idea, remembering the game that Su Mufeng and Su Linglong played back then.

When I heard that there was a new game to play, everyone immediately cheered up.

The concubines are super receptive to new games, it's just that backgammon has ready-made tools, and cards ......

It must be said that as long as the master gives the order, then the work efficiency of the subordinates can be described as galloping.

In a flash, dozens of carefully drawn decks of cards were neatly stacked on a gilded plate.

Each card is palm-sized, the paper is crisp, and the only difference is that the Arabic numerals at the diagonal are replaced with Chinese characters in capital letters.

The concubines were overjoyed when they got the cards that were still sprinkled with ink, and immediately formed a two-person table of holding bulls, a three-person table fighting landlord, a four-person table or a five-person table of red ten, and an unlimited number of people to upgrade and start a war. From time to time, someone called Su Jinling to ask, and because the rules were not yet proficient, it was inevitable that there would be disputes, but the playfulness prevailed, and after a while, he continued to devote himself to the battle.

Su Jinling looked at the grand occasion under the moon, and hated how she didn't learn to play mahjong in her previous life, and she still didn't even know how many cards there were in that deck of cards that had fallen to countless people, but she had begun to collect fragments and bits and pieces, and had the courage to come up with a new set of ways to play.

Before she could invent a success, she discovered the infinite wisdom of people...... She only taught a few games, and the concubines spontaneously staked the valuables on their bodies to determine whether they won or lost, some sent the palace maids to a distance to avoid peeking at the informant, and some of the masters and servants joined forces to fight against foreign enemies, so the scene was even more intense.

However, Concubine Xian's face was a little ugly, because the cards presented were all distributed, but she didn't catch a single one, although she had ordered Yan Shun to distribute the cards to everyone first, but watching everyone have a lively time, no matter how generous and calm she was, it was inevitable that her heart would be unbalanced.

Su Jinling is also strange, it stands to reason that no one can fall on the head of Concubine Xian?

At this time, a little palace maid came quickly with a tray.

Concubine Xian lifted the brocade curtain above, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Hasn't he left yet?" ”

The little palace maid replied in a low voice.

Concubine Xian glanced this way.

Although it was far away, Su Jinling also felt that the gaze was very meaningful. Then she saw that Concubine Xian seemed to command, and the little palace maid left in a hurry.

Concubine Xian summoned Su Jinling over.

When she walked up to Concubine Xian, Su Jinling saw clearly what Concubine Xian was holding.

It is also a deck of cards, but unlike the other concubines who have only a single text and a simple figure in the middle.

Four-color card pattern, respectively to the four seasons of blooming flowers to distinguish, spring peach, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum, posture is different, vivid and abnormal. The big and small kings are marked with peonies and peonies, the peonies are gorgeous and colorful, and the peonies are beautiful and subtle.

Concubine Xian gave her a seat, and she understood, and then began a fierce ideological struggle...... Playing with Concubine Xian, should she win realistically or pretend to lose? This loss can't be seen yet, it's really a technical job.

The good mood just now was suddenly dispersed, in case this made Concubine Xian unhappy, wouldn't she lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot? Alas, why couldn't she have thought one more step at the time? By the way, isn't this what Aunt Duan said, "think one more step, take one step less"?

"Auspicious ...... of the Prince"

She was in remorse, and suddenly saw the palace maids around her bow down.

Looking back, it was Yuwen Xuanhuan who came slowly.

Isn't he gone yet? Could it be that he drew this deck of cards?

"Xuan Huan meets Concubine Xian Niangniang......"

She remembered to leave the table to greet the courtesy: "The slave and maid greet the prince, the prince is auspicious......"

"Okay, okay, the day is about to dawn when we worship like this again......" Concubine Xian took the elaborate cards, and was extremely excited: "Quick, come and play cards with the palace, but the palace has been watching them play for a long time...... Jin Ling, King Wending doesn't know much about how to play, you can teach him......"

"Then the slave and maid have sinned......

Su Jinling took the cards and explained them one by one.

Yuwen Xuanhuan listened carefully, nodding lightly from time to time, and a faint smile always appeared on the corner of his lips.

"This palace has always said that one is one and two is two, although it is a game, but no one is allowed to repay the debt! Jinling, you can't help this palace just because you're from Xueyang Palace......"

In the first battle, Concubine Xian couldn't wait to go straight to the point, and asked the maid to take a silver ingot from her purse and press it on the case.

"Jinling girl doesn't need to bet, it's yours if you win, and if you lose, it's the palace!"

Su Jinling hurriedly thanked her, thinking that Concubine Xian was going to fight with King Wending. In this way, it is not right for her to win, and it is not good to lose. If he wins, he offends the two masters; If you lose...... Concubine Xian's purse is a trivial matter, the key is that Concubine Xian's words just now have already attributed her to her side, won't it make Concubine Xian lose face at that time?

Alas, this trouble is getting bigger and bigger.

Alas, why play landlords? Let's change to Red Ten, and multiple people can help themselves share the disaster.

But Concubine Xian didn't speak, and she didn't want to suggest, so they held their breath...... Draw the cards.

In the first game, Concubine Xian was the "landlord" and did not win.

In the second game, King Wending was the "landlord" and did not lose.

In the third game, Concubine Xian was the "landlord", because she asked for a new card on a business trip, but King Wending did not agree.

Su Jinling, a little "peasant" who never turned over, watched the two big men fight with trepidation. Concubine Xian's face is getting more and more ugly, and King Wending is still a calm and breezy appearance. He is only responsible for looking at the cards, and Yan Shun moves the small silver on the right hand of Concubine Xian to him one by one from time to time, and every time he moves one, he steals a glance at Concubine Xian.

Yan Shun's life was not easy, and his hand holding the silver trembled a little later. It was already mid-autumn, and the night was cold and windy, but Su Jinling had seen him take off his veil and wipe the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief more than once.

These two people lamented together in their hearts, King Wending, King Wending, it's just a game, why do you want to force Concubine Xian Niangniang to jump off the wall in such a hurry? Even if you say 10,000 words of "concession", it will be difficult to heal the wounds in the mother's heart!

And what made Su Jinling even more incredible was that King Wending was just a beginner, how could he be so skilled? No matter how much she released the water, she couldn't let Concubine Xian win once. Once, as soon as she put a string of small dragons that deliberately removed their big tails on the table, she saw King Wending glance at him, his eyes were clear, and he smiled slightly, which was not the same as the previous humility and softness, but the sinister and cunning of the old scheming......

It turns out that the appearance of suave and elegant demeanor is fake, this King Wending is actually a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger!

Yan Shun has this hatred in his heart, this King Wending, no wonder the emperor always says that he is a nerd, and he doesn't know how to be flexible at all, what can you do if you let Niangniang win once?

He has repeatedly hinted at the hint of eye gestures and coughing, but the hateful thing is that he and King Wending cannot achieve heart-to-heart communication, so he can only be so anxious that he can go to the fire.

Concubine Xian is becoming more and more brave when she loses, she has the potential of a gambler, and ordered the personal palace maid to go back to Xueyang Palace to move silver, and she also put on a very generous appearance: "This palace doesn't need to open this box to see it, just send it directly to Wending Palace." Hehe, hehehe......"

She tried to smile, but anyone could see that the corners of her mouth twitched.

Yan Shun lamented, if it weren't for the fact that King Qingning accompanied the prince to the Boiling Tang River to watch the tide, he would have asked his grandfather to tell his grandmother to invite him to enlighten this nerd...... No, swap this nerd!
