419, Gambling

The eldest prince likes to bet, but he is not good at skills, is impatient and unwilling to study. He is not as experienced and skilled as the eunuchs who are involved in various gambling games. Naturally, he wins less and loses more, and he almost loses every time he bets.

Although he can't lose a lot of money, winning or losing is a matter of face. The eldest prince doesn't feel sorry for the money, but he can't stand the shame that the loss brings to him. He is the prince's Longsun. He is born superior to others. How can he lose? And he enjoys the excitement of the moment when he wins, the strong sense of pleasure generated by the satisfaction of desire. But he often loses. The desire to seek but not be suppressed gradually distorts the already deformed psychology of the eldest prince, making the cruel eldest prince more violent, and the obsession with winning deep in his heart is also deeply rooted in the bones.

When the eldest prince lost at the beginning, he would vent his anger with the eunuchs who bet together and beat and scold them at all times. When the eunuchs saw that the eldest prince could not afford to lose, they gradually became unwilling to bet with the eldest prince. They would rather not win money, and would rather be insulted and punished by the eldest prince than participate in the eldest prince's gambling game.

The eldest prince gradually understood why no one was gambled with him anymore and no longer made things difficult for the eunuchs. Instead, he rewarded the eunuchs who were gambling together. The eunuchs who were greedy could not resist the temptation and gathered with the eldest prince to gamble in private. Seeing that those people were unscathed, more eunuchs were willing to gamble with the eldest prince, but the eldest prince still lost. But where should the depression after losing?

In order to protect themselves, the eunuchs who accompanied the eldest prince to bet on their own, they hinted that those who wanted to please the eldest prince presented beautiful women to the eldest prince, and those people naturally did so. The beauties who were respected by the subordinates carried the anger of the eldest prince after losing. When they came to Yigong at noon, they would take advantage of the night or when there were too few people at dawn.

As soon as the sky got dark, the eldest prince sent someone to find Xu Shu, and Xu Shu followed her with a delight.

The gambling game was set up in the side hall of Laiyi Palace. It was originally planned to give the eldest prince a study room, but the eldest prince slightly transformed it and changed the inner room for rest into a carnival place for gathering people to gambling. Because there are layers of bookshelves separated from the front study room, few people usually go back, so no one discovered this secret.

The palace maid who led the way only led Xu Shu to the entrance of the study and stopped, "After the girl went in, someone would take you over and teach you how to act!"

Xu Shu had to enter alone, but no one led her over as the palace maid said. The room was quiet, just like when she was taken to Taichang Palace that time, someone deliberately wanted to take the exam for her listening test.

Xu Shu stepped in slowly, avoiding the stools and other items that were deliberately placed on the way forward to block her. When she walked to the desk, she looked to the right and bowed down, "The girl in the civilian greeted the eldest prince!"

The eldest prince smiled, "The blind man's hearing is indeed incomparable to ordinary people! This prince also specifically ordered people to put obstacles in the middle of the house, but you didn't encounter any of them. And you even knew that this prince was not sitting in front of the desk and could accurately find the position of this prince. How did you do it?"

"This morning, the young lady met the eldest prince and smelled the scent of Xilanxiang. It was because the young lady just now recognized the eldest prince by relying on the scent of Xilanxiang!"

The eldest prince sniffed his sleeves and did not smell the fragrance of Xilanxiang. However, he had to go to Zhongcui Palace to pay homage to Concubine Shu every day. It was not surprising that the body would be stained with the Xilanxiang that Concubine Shu loved to use the most. He became more and more interested in Xu Shu's skills.

But since Xu Shu entered the palace, he had not really seen Xu Shu's ability to listen to dice. Although Xu Shu said she could do it, to be on the safe side, the eldest prince took out the dice cup again, shook it lightly and put it down, "The easiest thing is to guess the size!"

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

The eldest prince opened the dice cup and changed his face, but he turned into a smile. It was really ten o'clock, not much, not much, just ten o'clock, and the eldest prince suddenly became interested, "Come again!"

Xu Shu politely refused, "It takes concentration to listen to the dice, which is very exhausting. If you consume too much at this moment, you may feel it will be difficult later!"

The eldest prince was stunned. In order to avenge his previous shame in the gambling game later, the eldest prince had to put away the dice cup with infinite regret, and looked at Zhonglu and led Xu Shu to the inner room behind the bookshelf.

Soon, eunuchs gradually came in with familiarity and greeted the eldest prince with laughter. Seeing that the woman beside the eldest prince had a strange face, they knew that the woman who was with him a few days ago was probably useless, so today, when they changed a newcomer, they saw that Xu Shu was thin and she didn't know how many days she could last, they all started to talk in a low voice.

It was almost the same time. The eldest prince looked up and glanced at him. He often came to play with him. Suddenly he found that one person was missing, so he asked, "Why did Gao Ying come?"

The eunuch on the side replied, "Eunuch Gao is on duty today and cannot get rid of himself! You also know that the errands in the Yangxin Palace do not mean that you can find someone to replace him. After all, under the emperor's nose, I dare not make any mistakes!"

The eldest prince sighed and felt a little regretful. Gao Ying always won the most. Today he planned to win a few games and kill Gao Ying with a strong arrogance, but he didn't expect that he would meet Gao Ying on duty. It was a pity!

Another eunuch laughed and said, "Eunuch Gao is not here today, but I want a cheap slave!" It can be seen that in addition to Gao Ying, he won the most.

Immediately someone was dissatisfied, "Bah, Ma Qian, do you have the nerve to say such arrogant words in front of the eldest prince? Will you be the opponent of the eldest prince?"

Although the eldest prince often loses, this does not affect the people below who flatter him against their will, and this will also be very helpful to the eldest prince!

Ma Qian slapped himself in the face, "Look, I don't have any advice from the servants. The eldest prince is protected by the true dragon, so how can the servants compare to!"

The eldest prince was praised and felt extremely proud. He thought to himself that he would call these idiots to see his awesomeness today! "Okay, okay, since Gao Ying can't come, then all the people are here. What are you waiting for? Start quickly!"

When he heard that the game was about to start, Ma Qian immediately became excited, "Who is the turn of the banker today?"

Everyone was recalling whose dealer was last time, when an eunuch close to the eldest prince suddenly smiled and stretched his hand towards Xu Shu, "Is this little beauty new? Why not let her be the dealer?"
