Queen Zhu stared at Fang Xu with a smile and stood up, "Now that everyone is here, let's go to the horse crane table to chat."
"That's right, we are all relatives and friends, don't be restrained." Fang Lan walked to Fang Xu's side with a bright smile.
Shu Jieyu pursed her lips and smiled at Fang Xu, with a soft voice and said, "I'm not very good at horse-drawing, please bear with me, little sister Xu."
Fang Xu waved his hands, with a slight smile on his lips, "It's okay, I won't do it either."
Shu Jieyu smiled, looking charming and naive.
Half an hour later, Fang Xu realized how wrong he was.
"What a fool!"
"I'll touch three houses and pay the money!"
"A single one...it's nonsense again!"
"Queen, I saw you and the princess exchanging cards!"
The expressions of the three people present were extremely poor. Their faces were all covered with white slips of paper. They were staring at their cards, feeling unspeakably miserable.
It was only a dozen rounds into the game, but Shu Jieyu tried her best to play random cards, but she still drew them all by herself!
Fang Xu didn't understand, but was shocked.
"You..." Fang Xu stared at Shu Jieyu and said word by word, "Didn't you say you can't play?"
Shu Jieyu frowned innocently and explained to herself in a low voice, "I used to love eating pots and playing horses in my hometown. When I was a child, I was really the least playful at home, but I didn't expect that my sisters..."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people writing on the opposite side changed.
Queen Zhu put her cards on the table, sighed, and blew the note on her face, "There is no way to play this card anymore!"
Seeing the Queen speak, Fang Lan immediately pushed out his cards and said loudly, "My cards are the same, no one knows anyone! It's a dead ring and there's no way to play!"
Fang Xu calmly withdrew his cards, not daring to look at Shu Jieyu.
Shu Jieyu had a good hand. Before she could kill everyone, her sisters were all ruined. She felt disappointed and said, "Sisters are almost a hundred years old together, why are they still playing tricks?"
"Who is cheating?" Queen Zhu pulled off the note from her face, held it in her hand and waved it, "How dare you call me a cheat?"
The two started bickering, and Fang Xu watched with great interest.
"Do you think...the concubines are different from those in the opera?" Fang Lan arched her shoulders, approached Fang Xu with his face pressed against the white note, and whispered.
Fang Xu was amused by her look and nodded slightly, "The Queen and Shu Jieyu have a good relationship."
After all, Shu Jieyu was younger and had good ears. When she heard this, she immediately turned around and said, "Sister Xu, what you said is wrong. Most of the sisters in our harem have a good relationship."
"It's just..." Shu Jieyu grinned, "except for a certain domineering imperial concubine who loves to be sour and jealous."
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You just have to say Concubine Xiao's name directly."
Shu Jieyu curled her lips and whispered, "Sisters, look, I just said a few words, and little sister Xu guessed who it was. This shows how famous that person is!"
"That's because there is only one noble concubine in the palace, Xiao Jun!" Queen Zhu glared at her with a smile, and said angrily, "You, you, you are really clueless!"
Shu Jieyu snorted softly and said confidently, "I am also favored by the emperor. She can't do anything wrong to me."
"Shut up, please, you're going too far!" Queen Zhu clapped her hand and scolded her with a smile, "As a concubine, it's really inappropriate to do this!"
Shu Jieyu shrugged, but finally kept her mouth shut.
Fang Xu glanced at Fang Lan but said nothing.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Fang Lan chuckled and said softly, "Although I said that my relationship with Concubine Xiao is acceptable, I still have a high and low relationship. I have known the Queen for more than ten years, and our relationship is unmatched by others!"
Fang Xu calmed down and raised his lips with a smile.
"Come on, come on, let's have some fun again. This horse crane is no longer playable!" Queen Zhu fiddled with the cards in her hand with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty," Grandma Chang walked in quickly, her voice urgent, "His Royal Highness is here again, right outside the courtyard!"
The smile on Queen Zhu's face disappeared instantly, and she stared at the horse on the table without making a sound.
Grandma Chang ran out of ideas and looked at Fang Xu subconsciously.
Fang Xu frowned slightly and said calmly, "I heard what mama said, the prince came more than once?"
"Yes." Aunt Chang nodded, with a look of helplessness on her face, "His Royal Highness's hard work these past few days has been dismissed by the Empress with excuses. Unexpectedly, His Highness became more and more frustrated, and came here at this time every day. I have to kneel for most of the day!"
Grandma Chang watched Yuan Yi grow up, so she would be lying if she said she didn't feel sorry for him.
But no matter how distressed she was, she had to remember that her master was the current queen, not the prince.
Fang Xu twirled his fingertips and took off the note on his face, "Does he have any intention of coming?"
"Of course I said so." Aunt Chang glanced at Queen Zhu angrily and whispered, "His Highness only has Miss Lu in his heart. In the past few days, he has been planning to marry Miss Lu!"
Fang Xu was shocked for a moment and his eyes widened, "Even if he doesn't want the title of prince, he still wants to marry Lu Tingting?"
Could it be...that she had miscalculated and that these two were true love?
"That's not possible," Chang said with an embarrassed and ashamed look on her face, "His Highness said... he can back down and not give up his wife, but only want to give Miss Lu the position of concubine."
Good guy.
Fang Xu has finally seen what it means to have someone outside the world.
If you are stubborn, there will always be someone more stubborn than you.
Fang Xu raised his lips and smiled, his voice slowed down, "In that case, let him continue to kneel."
Queen Zhu finally moved, glanced sideways at Fang Xu, and murmured, "Xiao Xu, you have to find a way for me."
Fang Xu pondered calmly for a moment, and then said after a long while, "This matter is actually simple."
Fang Lan's interest was also aroused. Hearing this, he urged, "Oh, Xiao Xu, please hurry up. Don't you see that we are almost suffocated?"
Shu Jieyu also looked curious, holding her chin and looking at Fang Xu.
Fang Xu pursed his lips, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "My queen only needs to spread the news that the prince is infatuated with the orphan girl, and also reveal a little bit about the news that you are extremely disappointed with His Highness and are planning to make another prince. In less than half a day, His Highness will Come more often.”
"This matter can be solved by stirring up public opinion a little." Fang Xu turned his wrist, his eyes suddenly shrewd, "When Lu Tingting stands in front of thousands of people, she will be the first to be unable to sit still."
Fang Lan's eyes lit up, as if he understood what his sister meant, "Madam, this is a good idea!"
"That's right, the emperor attaches great importance to the meeting. If we go into this matter, the man named Lu will lose his skin even if he doesn't die!" Shu Jieyu also thought about it thoroughly and responded quickly.
Queen Zhu lowered her eyes, thinking about something.
Fang Xu was not in a hurry and sat quietly waiting for her to make up her mind.
It's a pity that some people can wait, but some people can't wait.
There was a commotion outside the door, and the little eunuch's panicked voice came into the hall.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, you can't go in! Your Highness!"
