Married to the East Palace for the second time

Chapter 23: Deception

Views:

Cui Wenxi didn't answer, just looked at her and smiled, "Go ahead."

Fang Ling frowned and retreated.

Cui Wenxi stretched out comfortably, thinking that Yanlan was really quite interesting. Prince Qing rested at her place last night, and today he came to show off his power. It was obvious that he was impatient.

It's fun to tease people like this.

The maid brought a copper basin for her to cleanse her face.

After a while, Fang Ling came into the room to wait on her. She was obviously holding back her confusion, but she endured it.

Outside, Yan Lan was supported by Xiao Tao and came to the Yaoguang Garden. She had a double-blade bun and wore a gorgeous pink chest-length shirt and skirt. The shirt had a straight collar and a delicate peach blossom pattern. .

The long skirt reaches her ankles and has a gradient color. She has a tooth-colored gauze shawl on her arms and a pair of small embroidered shoes on her feet.

Except for an expensive mutton-fat jade on his wrist, there are no extra accessories on Tong's body, and even the hairpins on his bun are rarely used.

On the way to Yaoguang Garden, the two couldn't help but be dazzled by the lavishness of the garden.

Those exquisite garden landscapes, the plump koi carps floating freely in the pond, the delicate flowers blooming in the garden, and the winding verandahs of red and green are like a long queue with no end in sight.

Xiao Tao couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. She was young and not calm enough, so she couldn't help but look around secretly.

Yan Lan was a little more steady than her. She was obviously surprised in her heart, but she made a nonchalant expression.

The mother-in-law who led them in front glanced disdainfully, and realized that she was a vulgar girl from the countryside. No matter how glamorous she was in her clothes, she could not conceal her family spirit.

Yan Lan seemed to sense her disdain and calmly pinched a handful of peach. She restrained herself a little and didn't dare to look around anymore.

It was inevitable that he would meet several domestic slaves from the mansion along the way. Yan Lan deliberately straightened his body without any awareness of being an outside servant.

No, after they walked away, one of the maids couldn't help but whisper: "Look at that foxy girl, so arrogant, she wishes she could raise her tail to the sky."

"No, he's dressed in fancy clothes, he looks like a master."

"Hey, who's asking someone to be so proud?"

"So what if you're trying to live up to your expectations? She's just a rough country girl who can't stand up to the stage. She's going to cry when she's about to give birth to an heir."

"Yes, our mistress has a background, how can she have a place?"

"The way I see it..."

The maidservants whispered, they were used to the rules of high-class families, and they all acted like human beings. The essence of every door and doorway inside could be seen through at a glance.

Master Yan Lan on the other side arrived at Yaoguang Garden and was led to the front hall by his maid to sit down.

Later, Fang Ling came out, glanced at them arrogantly, and said in an indifferent tone: "Just wait."

Perhaps because of her fierce appearance, Xiao Tao was a little afraid.

Yan Lan sat on the black rosewood chair in an orderly manner, her face tense and her heart uneasy. After all, she wanted to find a future for herself. If she didn't think of a way at this time, it would be too late after giving birth.

Not long after, Cui Wenxi came out of the wing, and Yan Lan quickly stood up and saluted. Xiao Tao on the side seemed to have never seen such an eye-catching girl. She was stunned for a moment before lowering her head and saluting hastily.

Cui Wenxi was supported by Feang Ling and sat on the Taishi chair, adjusting her skirt a little.

Yan Lan bowed and said, "My servant Yan Lan, please pay your respects to Princess Qing."

Cui Wenxi looked at her and said with a smile: "Raise your head and let me take a look."

Yanlan raised her head as she was told, her silver face timid and delicate. She thought her appearance was not bad, but compared with the girl in front of her, she suddenly felt ashamed.

The girl was sitting on the imperial chair, with a plump face and grand features.

Her bun was covered with hairpins, and she wore a rouge-colored gauze shirt with large sleeves. Her manners were elegant, her temperament was gentle and dignified, and she looked like a royal mistress.

Yanlan lowered her head silently.

Cui Wenxi praised: "She looks very good."

Yan Lan hurriedly said: "The mistress praised me, but the slave girl was frightened." He added, "Yesterday, Dr. Qin came to diagnose the slave's Ping'an pulse. He said that he would protect the slave's fetus in the future. The slave is grateful and came here to express his gratitude to the master today. Mother thanks you."

After saying that, he knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Tao also knelt on the ground.

Fang Ling squinted at them condescendingly, thinking that she was really good at pretending to be good. Prince Qing just rested at her place yesterday, and today he came to say thank you. Are you worried that others won't notice this little thought

Cui Wenxi was not annoyed at all, and said in a pleasant manner: "You are pregnant with Shiro's child. As the mistress of the house, I should send someone over to take care of you."

After saying that, she gave Fangling a look, and she reluctantly stepped forward to help Yan Lan get up.

The other party's polite attitude made Yan Lan uneasy. She secretly glanced at the girl sitting on the Taishi chair. She originally thought that Mrs. Cui was afraid that she couldn't tolerate her and would deliberately make things difficult for her. How could she have imagined that the girl in front of her would be like this? It was easy to talk, but it made her feel guilty and panicked.

The more guilty and panicked she became, the more magnanimous and tolerant Cui Wenxi became, and her temper was unbelievable. She said kindly: "Yanlan has been in Beijing for so many days, but I have never seen her. It is indeed my negligence. I don't know." Are the food and clothing expenses in the other hospital satisfactory now?"

Yan Lan replied cautiously: "Thank you for your trouble, Mistress. I am very pleased with you."

Cui Wenxi ignored the expensive jade bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile: "If there is anything you don't like, send someone to Yaoguang Garden and the manager will make arrangements for you." Then he looked at Xiao Tao next to her and said, "This girl What is your name?"

Xiao Tao responded hurriedly: "Go back to my mistress, my servant's name is Xiao Tao, and she is also from Weizhou."

Cui Wenxi said softly "Oh" and said in a gentle tone: "You look young, but can you serve your master?"

Xiao Tao: "Report to the mistress, Xiao Tao can serve Lady Yan well."

Cui Wenxi: "If you have any difficulties, the government can send someone to help you, share some of your burdens, or do some rough work."

Hearing this, Yan Lan was afraid that she would plant spies to watch her, so she quickly said: "Don't worry about it, Mistress. I have Xiao Tao to take care of me. I am very happy with it."

Cui Wenxi still had a pleasant look on his face, and there was no sign of any displeasure at all, "As long as it's what you agree with."

Her tone of voice was soft and soothing from beginning to end, and her attitude was generous and calm. There was no contempt or meanness like Fang Ling's at all. This made Xiao Tao feel very good about her. She only felt that the girl was gentle and dignified, with nobility and extraordinary bearing. One of the most beautiful girls she had ever seen.

It's really impressive.

Yan Lan was deliberately trying to make people feel bad, so that the couple would be more at odds with each other and give her a chance to survive.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Cui didn't give her a chance at all. Her attitude towards her was unbelievable, her tone was modest, and she was always caring, but she didn't know how to deal with herself.

The maid brought tea, and Cui Wenxi was so patient that he chatted with her about daily life and asked her about her days in Weizhou.

Yan Lan thought carefully and deliberately talked about the situation when Prince Qing was rescued by her.

Cui Wenxi listened carefully and said: "Silang will be blessed if he survives the disaster. Meeting you is his good fortune."

Yan Lan hid her little pride and replied: "My mistress' words are serious, I don't dare."

Her words were modest, but the smile at the end of her eyes gave her away.

Cui Wenxi was very happy to see her. She likes girls who are motivated.

Seeing that there were no accessories on her head, Cui Wenxi waved to her and said, "Come here."

Yan Lan stood up and walked to her side in a polite manner.

Cui Wenxi casually took off a pomegranate and ruby flower hairpin from her head and inserted it into her bun, and said: "A girl should dress up beautifully. You are younger than me, and you are in your prime. Wan Don’t treat yourself badly.”

Yan Lan felt complicated after hearing this, and she quickly saluted and thanked him.

Fang Ling on the side really couldn't see through her master's actions. Facing an outsider who came into the house to show off his power, her attitude was so good that it was creepy.

No, Yan Lan was also worried in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

Later, a woman came and seemed to have something to report. Yan Lan couldn't stay any longer, so she left.

Cui Wenxi did not persuade him to stay.

Xiao Tao helped Yan Lan leave the Yaoguang Garden. On the way, she uneasily supported the gem flower hairpin. The pomegranate red was bright and eye-catching, and it was embedded in the precious flower made of pure gold. It was extremely exquisite.

The mother-in-law who led them out of the house deliberately snorted and said: "My mistress is kind-hearted. She only thinks that Lady Yan is pregnant with Prince Qing's seed, so she treats her favorably. Some people, don't think of it as a fight. You can reach the sky in one step on an empty stomach, thinking about things that are not practical."

Yanlan didn't say anything.

The mother-in-law continued: "There are strong family interests behind the marriage between the Cui and Zhao families. It would be too naive to break it up because of others."

Yan Lan continued to remain silent, and Xiao Tao next to her felt uncomfortable.

After they left the house, the sedan chair was already waiting for them.

Xiaotao helped Yanlan get into the sedan chair, and after sitting firmly, the group returned to Xing'anfang Courtyard.

Yan Lan took off the flower hairpin from her head unhappily. She originally wanted to break it to vent her anger, but seeing the exquisite workmanship, she was reluctant to part with it. If it was pawned, it should be worth a lot of money.

Looking back on Cui's various actions, she felt both angry and helpless.

She had used the hairpin, and so had the man.

Now that Ms. Cui is useless, she has to work hard for ten months to carry a child to make a wedding dress for others. Once she gives birth to an heir, she will be sold out and will never have the glory she has today.

Thinking of this, Yan Lan suddenly felt depressed and extremely useless.

At the same time, Fang Ling in the Yaoguang Garden couldn't hold it in any longer. She frowned and asked, "Why did you show your kindness to that fox girl like this, even giving her precious gems and hairpins?"

Cui Wenxi looked at her hand with interest and said, "Did you see the jade bracelet on her wrist?"

Faang Ling: "I saw it, it should be worth a lot of money."

Cui Wenxi smiled and said: "She is very delicate, and she doesn't care about my things." After a pause, "She is pregnant, and this is the time when she is domineering. Wouldn't it be better for me to pamper her more for Shiro?"

Fang Ling: "???"

She looked at her with a speechless expression. Cui Wenxi tilted his head and said: "Human, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. If I were her, I would have someone to rely on, so why don't I hold on tightly?"

Fang Ling was thoughtful and seemed to understand.

Cui Wenxi didn't explain too much, just asked: "Besides Xiao Tao, who else is waiting in the other courtyard?"

Fangling replied: "Mother Liu and Qingdong."

Cui Wenxi looked at her and said, "I have heard of Granny Liu. She is an old man in the house."

Fang Ling nodded, "That woman is a smart person, sleek and worldly, and she also loves petty gains."

Cui Wenxi lowered her eyes, "When will you meet her and give her some money?"

Fang Ling immediately understood what she meant and responded, "Okay."

It is said that Yan Lan originally wanted to come to cause trouble, but was dismissed by Cui Wenxi. After returning home, the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and she smashed the cups on the table in frustration.

Xiaotao was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "Madam, calm down! Madam, calm down!"

Yan Lan stared at her bitterly and said unhappily: "I am a person who will not survive this year. Why should I give up my anger?"

Xiao Tao knew what she meant and said calmly: "Madam, don't talk nonsense, don't you have a husband?"

Yan Lan sneered and stared at her, not knowing what she was thinking.

At first she had no feelings for that man, but after coming to Beijing, he was so kind to her. Apart from not being able to accompany him every day, he was never harsh on food and clothing, but it made her have many thoughts that she shouldn't have.

Now she suddenly regretted coming to Beijing and finding herself in a situation where she was neither up nor down.

Leaving her mother behind and leaving her son behind made her terrified. She was the one who had worked so hard to conceive the baby for ten months, but she made a wedding dress for someone else. Not only did she get no credit, but she had to be sold out.

She really couldn't swallow this breath.

But who said she didn't have a natal family background? She was trapped alone in this high-walled compound with no one to help her and could only rely on herself. The future she thought she could achieve was just a dream.

This situation made her extremely embarrassed.

"You go out, I want to be alone for a while."

Xiao Tao was about to say something but stopped: "Madam, please don't get so angry that your body is broken."

"go out!"

Xiaotao retreated angrily.

Yan Lan silently walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. She took out a poorly made hosta from under the pillow and gently rubbed the lotus flower on the top with her fingertips. Her throat felt sore.

She slowly put her hands on her stomach. If she could go back in time, she would definitely not come to the capital with Prince Qing.

It's just that it's too late.

There is no turning back when she draws her bow. Her escape route has been completely blocked. Only by fighting with her last ditch can she have a chance to continue this glory.

She was unwilling to let her child be raised in the lap of others, and she was even more unwilling to be betrayed when she was clearly the savior of Prince Qing.

She had to find a way to earn a status for herself by entering the palace, so that she could save her life and have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.

For the past two days, Prince Qing was having a cold war with Cui Wenxi. Later, when he was off duty and returned to the other courtyard, Yan Lan deliberately lay in bed and ignored him.

Zhao Chengyan went into the side room to see her, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What's wrong with Yan Niang? What's wrong with her?"

Yan Lan turned her back to him and didn't say a word, just silently wiping her tears.

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Zhao Chengyan pulled her shoulders hard. Seeing Lihua's tearful face, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Xiao Tao, who was standing at the door, said at the right time: "My wife went to the house today."

Hearing this, Zhao Chengyan couldn't help but be stunned and asked in surprise: "What are you doing in the mansion?"

Yan Lan sobbed softly: "Yesterday, the princess sent Dr. Qin to diagnose the slave's Ping'an pulse. Doctor Qin said that he will protect the fetus of the slave from now on. The slave is grateful to the princess for her kindness, so she went to the house today to express her gratitude."

"She came back from Pingyang Mansion?"

"I'm back."

"Did I make things difficult for you?"

"No, she treats slaves very well."

These words made Zhao Chengyan half-believed and doubtful. He looked at Xiaotao and asked, "Has your wife ever been made trouble by Yaoguang Garden?"

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "No." Then she added, "The princess treats my wife very well, and she even gave her a gemstone hairpin, which is very eye-catching."

Zhao Chengyan was confused and asked: "Then why are you sad and crying?"

Yan Lan hesitated and said: "I am a very unlucky person. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year."

Zhao Chengyan said unhappily: "You are so good, why are you talking such nonsense?"

Yanlan Chuchu said pitifully: "To be honest, sir, when I came back from the house, I heard some gossip, saying that I was acting tyrannically on my belly and was short-lived. I will be useless when I have to give birth to an heir."

Zhao Chengyan's expression remained unchanged.

Yan Lan glanced at him secretly and continued: "They said that the husband wants to leave his son to his mother, and the mistress of the house will definitely not be able to accommodate slaves in the future. The slaves know that their status is low and they are not worthy of the husband, but as long as the slaves think of that time My experience in Weizhou made me sad and sad."

These words made Zhao Chengyan frown.

Yan Lan obediently hugged his hand tightly and said with tears: "This slave is alone, and only your husband can rely on you. The four directions of this high-walled courtyard are my life. It's a pity that my fortune is not good, and my life is not good. I will no longer be able to accompany my husband. Thinking of this, I feel very uncomfortable. I only regret that I have a bad background and am not qualified to accompany my husband."

She spoke sincerely, and her kitten-like frailty made Zhao Chengyan feel a little pity, "Don't listen to those long-tongued women talking nonsense."

Yan Lan looked at him innocently, with expectation in her wet eyes, "Really?"

Zhao Chengyan nodded, "Really."

Yan Lan: "Master, don't try to coax your slaves."

Zhao Chengyan comforted him: "You are pregnant, and you are most likely to have random thoughts. It is important to take good care of yourself these days." He added, "Don't mess with Yaoguang Garden anymore."

"Is Mr. Lang unhappy?"

"No, Ms. Cui has a weird temper. I'm afraid she might hurt you."

"Mr. Sir, you're talking nonsense. I think the princess behaves elegantly and is a very good girl. She is also sincere in her treatment of the slave. She speaks softly and never embarrasses the slave. How can she be as weird as you said?"

Zhao Chengyan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yan Lan muttered to herself: "Sometimes the servant is envious of her. She can be pampered by a husband as good as her husband, and she has a family background to rely on. She is born beautiful, and God is really caring for her."

Zhao Chengyan sneered and said mockingly: "If she had half the awareness you have, she wouldn't bother like this."

Yan Lan said understandingly: "I can't blame her. After all, which girl is willing to share her husband? What's more, it is reasonable for a noble girl like her to feel unhappy."

This is true.

Zhao Chengyan pinched her face, feeling that this girl was sensible and more coaxing than the one at home.

He stayed in another courtyard for the next few days.

Fang Ling would complain sometimes, but Cui Wenxi was secretly happy. She wished that the guy stayed in another courtyard every day. The more this happened, the more it proved that Yan Lan was smart.

As long as she has the means to poach someone, there will be no worries about this marriage and she will never leave her.

After finding a new way to reconcile, Cui Wenxi no longer has the previous boredom. She will silently add fuel to the flames, cheer for Yanlan, and let her win over King Qing.

Having such a capable assistant really saves me a lot of worry.

In a good mood, Cui Wenxi returned to her previous glory and beauty. Anyway, Prince Qing's Mansion had no worries about food and clothing, and he could use the money as it should, and he must not treat himself badly.

No, she heard that Baoxiangzhai had released several new styles of rouge, and she even made a special trip to them.

The shops selling rouge and gouache in Beijing are definitely Baoxiangzhai and Taoyanfang, which are very popular among the ladies. When Cui Wenxi came over, he met Yongning who was also picking up rouge and other cosmetics here.

The girl in the shop led the two of them upstairs. The two sat together and chatted. Yongning asked, "Did Shiro give you any trouble after you came back from Pingyang Mansion?"

Cui Wenxi replied: "No." He added, "He is staying in another courtyard day and night, with warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms. Why do you still care about me?"

Yongning clicked his tongue twice, pointed at her and said, "You, Cui Changyue, are so generous. If I were you, I would have risen up a long time ago and had to beat that bitch to death."

Cui Wenxi was amused by the tone of her voice, took a sip of tea and said, "Sister, I've been here for a long time, and I'm still full of blood. If I get so angry, wouldn't I be wronged?"

Yongning curled his lips and was completely convinced by her, "But you really are here. That foxy girl has climbed on top of you to dominate you, but you can still tolerate it." He added, "There are rumors that you are a jealous woman. I see, this is not true."

Cui Wenxi raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

It's just that I don't love him. Without love, I would no longer care about that person, let alone worry about him.

She has always been a person who can take things and let things go, because this era does not allow her to be indecisive, and her self-esteem does not allow her to love humblely.

Later, the shopkeeper in the shop personally delivered new products for them to choose from. Yongning was older and preferred brighter colors, while Cui Wenxi liked delicate and bright colors.

The two pick and choose new products.

Yongning usually loves to have fun, but after the two men in the house were beaten to death by his own son, he felt that he had lost a lot of fun. Seeing that the new products this time were good, he selected some for Queen Ma and asked: " Has Changyue been busy recently?"

Cui Wenxi: "Not busy."

Yong Ning: "Then when are we going to the palace to play two games of leaf cards with the queen and get some money from her?"

Cui Wenxi: "..."

She couldn't laugh or cry for a moment because Queen Ma's card skills were very poor.

Although the girls in the deep palace can enjoy glory and wealth, they cannot enter and leave the market at will like them, so it is also great for someone to bring some gadgets from outside to accompany them.

Queen Ma has a good temper and is as kind as a saint. Yongning still likes this sister-in-law and often gets together to play together.

At first Cui Wenxi didn't want to join in the fun, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that many of her connections with King Qing and Queen Li were severed.

The circles she had previously run were all based on the identity of Prince Qing. Once she was separated from the title of Princess Qing, she would be nothing.

Just because she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, will those connections in the past still betray her

After reconciliation, she no longer had anything to rely on and had to plan everything on her own.

No matter how good her mother's background is, the circle she lives in is just a circle of princes and counts, which is far from the benefits of human connections and resources brought by this group of royal family members.

After so many years of hard work in building up her network of contacts, how could she possibly give up

There will always be times when it comes in handy.

Thinking of this, she agreed.

In the evening, Cui Wenxi began to prepare the clothes to wear to the palace the next day. When she heard that she was going to play leaf cards with Queen Ma, Fang Ling was surprised and asked, "Why are you thinking about playing cards?"

Cui Wenxi said calmly: "After leaving Prince Qing's Mansion, you have to find a way to retain the connections in the palace."

Fang Ling: "My servant is short-sighted and didn't expect this."

Cui Wenxi said realistically: "I am a weak-minded woman. I have been coddled in the back house all day long. I have only seen the sky as big as a dustpan. From now on, I will be nothing without Prince Qing. If I want to continue to live a comfortable life, I can do business in the past." Don’t lose any of your connections.”

After saying that, he picked up a begonia red shawl, looked at it, and continued: "I want to make peace with King Qing because I want to live a better life, not worse. If it is even worse, why should I ask for trouble."

At this point, Fang Ling nodded in approval, "My wife has put so much thought into reconciling her. Naturally, she has to do better in the future so that the trouble is not in vain."

Cui Wenxi said "hmm" and compared the shawl on her body. She felt that she didn't like it, so she changed it to another one.

Her greatest advantage is that she is self-aware. In an era like this, you can forget about creating great achievements. You will probably be drowned in spittle before you even cross the threshold.

Not only that, without King Qing to rely on, the men who secretly covet you will always find various ways to humiliate your dignity.

Now she has to test how capable Cui Wenxi is. Only by staying within the circle of connections in the center of the royal family and secretly coveting her will the evil wolf that secretly covets her be afraid before stretching out its claws.

Only in this way can we achieve true self-protection.

Early the next morning, Cui Wenxi joined Yongning in a carriage and entered the palace. The girl's family always liked makeup, and Queen Ma was very happy when she saw the rouge they brought.

Cui Wenxi has always had good aesthetics. According to Queen Ma's skin tone, she selected two colors that suit her. After trying them, the effect was very good. Her whole complexion was much brighter.

Empress Ma was in a good mood, patted her hand and said, "Yesterday Pingyang came into the palace. I saw that she was in good spirits and she was more cheerful than usual. Chang Yue has a good personal relationship with her. Please give her more guidance."

Cui Wenxi: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I see that Pingyang looks like he is slowly coming out."

Queen Ma sighed, "She values friendship, and I'm afraid that she will get stuck in it. Otherwise, how will she live the rest of her life." After a pause, "You, on the other hand, can afford to take it and let it go."

Cui Wenxi smiled and said, "Poor parents in the world, my mother-in-law is just as worried as my sister-in-law."

Queen Ma: "..."

Yong Ning on the side interjected: "Sister-in-law, don't try to persuade me to make peace from now on. Marriage is like a fish drinking water. You know whether it is warm or not. The girl's family has never been able to help herself. As long as she can afford the consequences, that's all."

Queen Ma was silent, looked at Cui Wenxi and said, "Have you really figured it out?"

Cui Wenxi nodded, "I have been married into the Zhao family for seven years. My sister-in-law should know my temperament. Since I have made a decision, it must have been carefully considered."

Queen Ma: "Then I will no longer advise you."

Yongning often came to the palace. When the saint in Chongzheng Hall heard that she asked Queen Ma to play leaf cards, he said angrily: "Yongning is slipping, and he wants to come and scrape the oil again."

Zhao Yue on the opposite side smiled and said: "My aunt often comes to the palace to accompany my grandma, and she is also happy."

Zhao Junqi shook his index finger and said, "Your mother-in-law is very poor at cards. She may have taken a fancy to the objects in Changchun Palace again, and she may have come to coax her."

Zhao Yue: "..."

Zhao Junqi: "Erlang, go over and have a look later. Don't let your mother suffer." He then asked Gao Gongdao, "Do you know who is accompanying me?"

Eunuch Gao smiled brightly and said, "There are only Princess Yongning and Princess Cui of Qing."

Hearing this, Zhao Junqi slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "Two card players have teamed up to deceive the queen. They probably have their eye on the object she has in hand!"

With a smile in her eyes, Zhao Yue replied: "I'll go over and have a look later to see how my aunt and the others are going to deceive my mother-in-law."

No, as Zhao Junqi said, Yongning really fell in love with the objects in Changchun Palace.

There was a white porcelain jade pot and spring vase in Queen Ma's palace. It was exquisite in shape and elegant. It caught Yongning's eyes and thought about it for a long time.

Leaf cards are not only played by the common people, but also by high-ranking nobles.

Although Queen Ma is not good at playing cards, she is addicted to playing cards. Yongning comes to play cards with her for fun, which makes her happy.

She was very lucky today. Yongning lost a lot of chips on the table and only had two chips left.

Cui Wenxi is a little more stable. She can count cards and is not impatient at all.

The three of them chatted about everyday things while playing cards.

When Zhao Yue came over, Queen Ma won first and then lost. Not only did the two of them divide the chips, she also borrowed two copies from Cui Wenxi.

The two gold ingots on the table were really eye-catching. Zhao Yue came over to stop the palace servants from reporting. He saw the two bright yellow things from a distance and joked: "Hey, the Fourth Emperor's aunt is very lucky today. "
