After walking a certain distance, Cheng Yuan looked back at Cheng Jieyu's bedroom. The ferocity in his eyes faded, and what remained was deep worry.
"grown ups……"
The servant stepped forward: "You obviously... why are you deliberately being so cruel to the lady?"
Cheng Yuan sighed and continued to walk out reluctantly, saying in a sad tone: "Don't forget whose hands I work for."
The boy was about to say something else, when suddenly two people dressed in black and dressed like servants came towards him from the corridor: "Master Cheng, our Master Zhongshu has invited you."
…
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"That's a good beating...hiss...ah, it hurts so much!"
When Liu Guiren heard that Cheng Jieyu was beaten, she was so happy that she almost jumped out of bed. When the emperor sacrificed his face for Cheng Jieyu, she still holds a grudge.
"You dare to laugh at me when I come to the palace but can only lie on the bed. Now she will lie down too, as if she is nobler than me, bah!"
Liu Guiren took a sip before asking: "Yan'er, why hasn't Ye Changzai come to serve me these days? Looking at my little master's injury, there is nothing you can do to her, right?"
Yan'er thought to herself, there was really nothing she could do. She was now a noble person, and she had climbed onto the high branch of the Imperial Concubine. How could she take her master, who was also a noble person, seriously?
But I definitely can’t say that.
Yan'er lowered her head and replied: "Ye Changzai is no longer here. She was unjustly accused of drugging the emperor last time, and it was the imperial concubine who freed her. In order to make up for her, the emperor also made her a nobleman. She is now Every day I play cards with the Imperial Concubine and Jiang Guifei to relieve boredom, and talk!"
Ye Guiren used to knelt down to please Liu Guiren, but after Ye Guiren was in trouble, Liu Guiren did not help her to plead for mercy. Thinking about it, she saw clearly that no matter how she tried to please Liu Guiren, it would be in vain. She might as well switch to the imperial concubine's sect, at least a bit. The portion will go up.
"She was made a noble?"
Liu Guiren, who was furious at this time, broke his guard: "My grandmother served the late emperor, and was released from the palace by the late emperor's golden words. After all, she was also a female official. Who is she, and she deserves to be on an equal footing with me?"
What can be done?
Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from the king, and it is impossible to go and scold the emperor for his bullshit.
Liu Guiren was complaining about everything in Lanyue Pavilion, but Jiang Guifei was very happy here.
Concubine Yu and Ye Guiren laughed so hard that their mouths almost split behind their ears: "Oh! The Imperial Concubine accepts the concession! Aren't you a sparrow god? Although I don't know what the sparrow god is, but listen It should look very powerful. I still want to learn from you, how can you lose? I and Ye Guiren have won too much. The game will be over soon, and the queen will arrange for someone to carry it back for us."
Concubine Yu knows how to be sarcastic.
Jiang Xinyue narrowed her eyes and stared at her: "Just wait for me, I will definitely beat you next time."
"cut!"
Concubine Yu looked down on her: "I can't steal a man from you, and you are no match for this leaf card."
Ye Guiren was very worried, wondering whether he should pretend that he couldn't win next time and "lose" some of the money to the imperial concubine.
But Ye Guiren didn't look at her as someone who would kill someone just for a few hundred taels of silver, so he went out with a grateful heart and made a lot of money with his concubine.
"Concubine Yu, you are... mocking the Imperial Concubine like this, you are not afraid of her..."
"I have suffered so much frustration from her. I have framed her, and she has framed me. I am the one who has suffered every time. What's wrong with letting me take advantage of you with your words? Don't be so petty. The Imperial Concubine is not such a stingy person, just take the money with peace of mind!"
Just think of it as compensation for not allowing the emperor to favor the harem.
Jiang Xinyue didn't care how much money she lost, but she particularly minded when Yu Bin laughed at her poor card playing skills.
then--
The next day Jiang Xinyue overturned the leaf cards with complicated rules, stayed up late to make a deck of cards, and explained the rules to them.
It is similar to leaf cards, except that the rules of later generations of cards are more streamlined. As long as the size of the cards is clearly distinguished, it is very refreshing to play, and the wins and losses are greater.
Concubine Yu, who had understood the rules, lifted her skirt, stepped on the stool with one foot, and said harshly: "The Imperial Concubine, we are brothers in this card game. We will settle the score. If you lose all your pants in a while, don't do it." Don’t admit it.”
Jiang Xinyue crossed her arms and smiled coldly: "Do you know that villains die from talking too much."
Concubine Yu put her legs down in an instant, sat down unhappily, and shouted: "Concubine Jiang, please take care of her. She is just playing cards, why has she become a villain again?"
Jiang Guibi divided the cards and glanced at her: "But just now you really looked like the villain in the playbook who laughed at the protagonist. Be careful and you will be slapped in the face."
Seeing the contemptuous look on Concubine Yu's face, Ye Guiren became very energetic.
Concubine Jiang is right. Concubine Yu is like a tough-talking villain who won't shed tears until she sees the coffin.
It seems that the Imperial Concubine still has some backup plans.
Jiang Guifei was like a turtle in the melon field. While eating the fruit cut by the slaves, she watched Jiang Xinyue and Yu Concubine pinch each other. She couldn't be happier.
Why didn't she wake up earlier? As long as she no longer pursues the love given by the superior emperor and the sisters in the harem coexist peacefully, life will become more enjoyable.
"Don't move, right two, I want it."
Yu Concubine played three or four games and won them all. Now she was even more swollen. She looked at Jiang Xinyue as if she were a newbie: "Oh! I'm so embarrassed, I won again! My face, the imperial concubine's. I can’t hit you anymore!”
Ye Guiren has been waiting and watching, and found something interesting. This brand seems to have the same personality as the person.
In this way, the imperial concubine must not be simple.
She was originally going to go with Concubine Yu to block Jiang Xinyue, but at the end of the day, she followed Concubine Jiang and went to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers.
Her defection in battle earned her a look from Concubine Yu, but she didn't care. Anyway, she was bound to win today. She was a one-on-one winner, and she was so powerful.
Jiang Xinyue calmly fed her cards, feeding her appetite more and more, and it was as if she was red-eyed and insisted on betting bigger.
It's time to close the net.
This fish, Yu Bi, has become very fat.
"Okay, then let's bet big."
The imperial concubine curled her lips and threw all the banknotes in front of her in the middle of the table: "Win or lose with one hand."
Although Yu Bin made peace with Jiang Xinyue, she still had a certain anger in her heart. If this anger did not go away, she would always secretly compete with her.
If she had predicted correctly, Yu Bi's father would be in bad luck soon, and the biggest beneficiary would be Jiang Xinyue's uncle.
Before that, she had to completely convince Concubine Yu, so that her uncle would have a smoother journey as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
