When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other in bewilderment. How should they respond? Fortunately, the emperor also knew the embarrassment of this and waved his hand: "Disperse."
When everyone was feeling awkward and didn't know what to say, they suddenly felt relieved when they heard the emperor's words. They felt that the atmosphere tonight was weird.
This year's palace banquet ended the earliest in history. The ministers all got up and left, and Concubine Qing did not pester the emperor this time.
Instead, when the emperor said let's go, he came to Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu and said, "Xiao'er, Jiu'er, let's go to mother's palace and continue. Mother has just started playing and is in high spirits!"
Listening to Concubine Qing's words, Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu and knew that Qian Jiujiu was making a fuss! He felt helpless: "Jiu'er, are you going or not?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and looked at Mu Yexiao. He asked, "Is it possible not to go since Concubine Qing has spoken?" She was so depressed that she looked at Mu Yexiao.
He glanced at Concubine Qing again and said, "Go, it just so happens that my daughter-in-law doesn't believe it today. She can't win a single round. She won't be so unlucky."
Listening to Qian Jiujiu's words, Concubine Qing narrowed her eyes with a smile. She was still puzzled about this matter. How could she not win a single bet? Her luck was too bad.
The three of them went to the Summer Palace while chatting and laughing. The emperor stood there, his beard so crooked with anger. Do these three people still have him in their eyes
The Queen and the Emperor have been together for so many years. If we talk about understanding, she definitely knows the Emperor very well. Just looking at the Emperor's expression, you can tell that he is jealous!
She looked at the emperor with amusement and said, "Your Majesty, I am also interested in that new thing. How about Your Majesty accompany me to take a look?"
The emperor finally had a way out and glanced at the queen with an expression that said, "You really understand me." "Since the queen is also interested, I will go with you to have a look."
As he said this, he went towards the Summer Palace with the Queen. Concubine Qing and the other two who arrived earlier had just placed the mahjong on the table when they heard the eunuch's voice.
"The Emperor has arrived, and the Empress has arrived."
Imperial Concubine Qing and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment, but they could only stand up and watch the emperor and empress walk in: "I greet the emperor and the empress."
"The daughter-in-law/son meets the father, the emperor, and the mother, the queen."
The emperor hummed, looking proud, and looked at everyone: "Okay, everyone stand up."
As he said this, he actually came to sit on the chair and looked at the things on the table: "What is this to play?"
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao knew at a glance that this person was also interested in mahjong! Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu immediately explained the rules of mahjong again.
Then the emperor and the queen were a little embarrassed because they had no money. The emperor looked at the queen and said, "Queen, sit down and play together."
The emperor and the queen took up two seats. Concubine Qing also sat down quickly and looked at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu: "You two should sit on one side. This way it's just right."
Mu Yexiao naturally would not argue with Qian Jiujiu, and sat directly next to Qian Jiujiu: "Jiuer, I will be your fortune star."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes. She didn't want to think too much, she just wanted to win one game. It was too depressing that she had never won a single game. But what happened next made her even more depressed.
The first one was played by Concubine Qing: "I win."
Emperor: "I win, Thirteen Yao."
Queen: "I am lucky today, all the same color."
Qian Jiujiu: ...
Can you express her psychological trauma? Qian Jiujiu just felt like crying. Can she stop bullying others like this? How could she not win in one go
She still didn't believe it, snorted, and kept going!
But after several rounds, it was almost midnight and Qian Jiujiu still hadn't won a single game. Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt aggrieved and looked at Mu Yexiao.
"My Lord, I am going to lose all your wealth."
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu's aggrieved look and felt a little happy in his heart. In fact, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. How could a person's luck be as bad as Qian Jiujiu
But he still wanted to comfort Qian Jiujiu: "Okay, it's okay, let me draw the cards for you, so you can win."
So the young couple immediately cooperated. Mu Yexiao drew the cards, Qian Jiujiu played the cards, and then the next thing was: "Yeah, I won."
"The daughter-in-law wins again."
The emperor has looked towards Mu Yexiao several times. How come this young couple has joined forces and suddenly become so powerful? Their luck is so good.
As far as the matter of playing cards was concerned, the emperor and a few others understood that Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao could indeed achieve smooth sailing when they joined forces.
Qian Jiujiu didn't know that this time it would have such an effect, allowing the Emperor, the Queen, Concubine Qing and others to see that they were the best partners and would never let anyone destroy them.
After a few rounds, it was getting late. Qian Jiujiu yawned, and Mu Yexiao suddenly remembered that his Jiuer was still a pregnant woman! She was still playing so late.
No wonder he felt sleepy. He looked at his father and mother and said, "Father, mother, mother, Jiu'er is a little tired. I'll take her back to rest."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the other three people who seemed to be still unsatisfied, and didn't want to disturb their enjoyment, so she looked at Mu Yexiao and said, "Let someone bring a couch over. I'll rest here."
"You should accompany father and the others to fight until dawn."
Qian Jiujiu's extremely impolite proposal actually received unanimous support from the emperor and the other three people, so the servants brought a soft couch over, and Qian Jiujiu slept on it with her clothes on.
The four people here really fought until dawn, and after Qian Jiujiu went to rest, Mu Yexiao's luck was not so good, but he returned to normal.
There were winners and losers, but the next day, a big event happened in the palace. Everyone knew that the emperor and empress actually stayed in Concubine Qing's Summer Palace for an entire night.
Also among them were Mu Yexiao and Princess Xiao. Everyone immediately became curious about what these people were doing in the Summer Palace.
The inquiry naturally led to the discovery of the Mahjong thing: "Have you heard about it? That thing is made of jade, very beautiful."
"Yes, it's quite fun. Look, the emperor and the queen had fun all night long."
"Yes, yes. I heard that this is a new thing that Princess Xiao brought into the palace!"
There were many different opinions, but Qian Jiujiu's mahjong had spread throughout the palace, and mahjong became popular. But the problem was that everyone only knew mahjong.
But no one knew what Mahjong was. The news that the emperor, empress and others liked to play Mahjong spread outside the palace, which made Mahjong popular.
Everyone started to wonder what mahjong was, and then they found Prince Xiao's Mansion. Fortunately, Qian Jiujiu had made preparations in advance, after all, there were so many days ahead.
So many people were invited just to make mahjong. Now there are many sets of mahjong piled up in the palace. Qian Jiujiu had thought about making a fortune from mahjong long ago.
Now, the opportunity has come. Qian Jiujiu has already asked someone to spread the news, and the way to play mahjong has also spread throughout Kyoto. Qian Jiujiu handed this matter over to Yue Niang.
A special shop was opened to sell mahjong, and of course there were also poker cards, even poker cards made of gold and silver. The prices were so high that people were daunting.
Fortunately, what Kyoto has the most is rich people, so Qian Jiujiu's mahjong business and poker are selling very well.
At this time, Qian Jiujiu was looking at the account in the palace. Tsk tsk, almost every household of those officials had bought it. I'm afraid they still have to practice mahjong skills with their concubines at home.
This way you can look good when you go out. Otherwise, if someone asks you if you know how to play mahjong, and you say no, wouldn't that mean you're not keeping up with the trend
Now, when ministers attend the morning court every day, some of the conversations are: "I was lucky yesterday, I actually got Thirteen Yao."
"Really? I'm lucky, so we can get together and have fun some time."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the current situation, blinked, and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, why do I feel like I did something wrong?"
"You said that now all the ministers have started playing mahjong, who will handle the affairs?"
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "Those true loyal subjects will not be attracted by mahjong. It's good for you to do this. At least you can help the Great Zhou Kingdom eliminate a group of people with bad character."
Qian Jiujiu burst out laughing: "You are right. The quality of the cards on the mahjong table reflects the character of the person."
Although she said so, Qian Jiujiu was still a little worried. However, since Mu Yexiao had said that the problem would be left to him, Qian Jiujiu was no longer worried.
Wasn't mahjong popular all over the country in the previous life? But only a few people got into trouble. She was just finding something for the women in the inner chambers to do.
What's more, mahjong is so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it. Qian Jiujiu also asked Mu Yexiao to spread the word that this mahjong belongs to Princess Xiao.
If anyone dared to impersonate, they would be thrown into jail. The emperor and others did nothing about it, and Qian Jiujiu also deliberately sold mahjong at a high price.
This also led to the fact that mahjong was only popular among wealthy families, while poor families were not affected at all, after all, they had little time and no money.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu felt a lot more at ease. Now she was just waiting for another half a month, when the weather got better and spring came, so that she could go up the mountain to build a hot spring villa.
This hot spring villa was the place she had been looking forward to. After such a long time had passed, the other thing that Qian Jiujiu hoped for was almost completed.
Qingyu came back early this morning: "Princess, I have fulfilled my mission. Now that dress has become a trend in Kyoto."
