"What method can you tell me?" The queen looked at Cen Yunchu and asked with a smile. She looked at Cen Yunchu with very kind eyes, just like a mother looking at her daughter.
In fact, at her age, she can indeed be Cen Yunchu's mother.
"I am bold and want to invite Concubine Rui, Shui Zhaoyi and Feng Zhaoyi to play cards together." Cen Yunchu said, "It goes without saying that the loser will take out the money. The winning silver will all be used as military pay. I don't know how it will work.
Can’t do it?”
"This idea is really new," the queen raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this, "but as far as I know, everyone usually likes to play dominoes to pass the time.
It's just that I don't have one here. I'll ask someone to get one and you can play here.
My place is usually too quiet here, but I want to be lively today."
Cui Ruifei never expected that Cen Yunchu would come up with this idea.
It sounds surprising at first, but when you think about it more carefully, it’s really a good idea.
She dug a hole for Cen Yunchu before, just to put her in a dilemma. No matter what she said, she would not get it right, and no matter what she said, she would offend others.
But Cen Yunchu jumped out and found another way.
Let’s start a card game and include Feng Zhaoyi and Shui Zhaoyi who are having a dispute.
Count yourself in so that it’s hard for others to say anything.
In addition, Cui Ruifei, who gave me problems, was also included.
Even if she doesn't want to, she can't refuse.
Otherwise, if you drag others into trouble, you will probably be unhappy.
If Cen Yunchu just talked about what should be done, some people would definitely say that her back hurts when she talks while standing.
But Cen Yunchu didn't judge at all and didn't push himself to the forefront.
Card fighting is just fun, and winning or losing is uncertain.
It has nothing to do with right and wrong, just luck.
It's no one's fault for being unlucky.
Feng Zhaoyi said that he wanted to support the frontier, and Shui Zhaoyi was not short of money.
Cui Ruifei, of course, has to set an example.
After all, she is now in charge of the Sixth Palace.
And what about Cen Yunchu? It can be regarded as sacrificing his life to accompany a gentleman.
Naturally, other people will not object. They don’t have to pay for it, and the matter is solved. Besides, they can also have fun.
What's more, the queen has already spoken, so those who take the cards take the cards, and those who carry the table lift the table, and soon the card game is ready.
"How big should we play?" Feng Zhaoyi asked. She often plays dominoes and is not afraid of going into battle.
"Shui Zhaoyi, what do you think?" Cen Yunchu asked with a smile.
"It's not fun to come and go for a small amount of time. You always need five taels of silver per game to make a living." Shui Zhaoyi said, anyway, she was not short of money.
"Do you two sisters have any objections?" Cen Yunchu asked Cui Ruifei and Feng Zhaoyi again.
"Five taels is five taels. Whoever wins or loses is a good thing." Feng Zhaoyi is very good at saying beautiful things.
Cui Ruifei naturally didn't object, she had nothing to object to.
However, she still felt a little unhappy because it felt really annoying to be led away by someone.
When Cen Yun first glanced at her, he knew that she didn't know about the card fight with Cui Mingzhu and others, otherwise she would never have looked like this.
Since ancient times, there are three things that best reflect your character. In times of crisis, they are the card table and the drinking game.
A person's wine and brand can best reflect his personality.
At the poker table, Feng Zhaoyi looked left and right, worrying about gains and losses.
Shui Zhaoyi's face was full of disdain and she didn't even blink no matter how much she lost.
Cui Ruifei played cards and destroyed cards, and was undecided.
Cen Yunchu was calm and relaxed, he could intercept whoever he wanted, and he could let whomever he wanted to let go.
The dominoes in her hand seemed to be more obedient than her son. When she grabbed the dominoes, she just took one look at them and took them all down.
When playing cards, it is a good idea to play whatever card is called.
Feng Zhaoyi and others were still dissatisfied at first, but later they lost their temper.
However, Cen Yunchu rarely caught her and Shui Zhaoyi, and Cui Ruifei suffered the most misfortune.
After ten laps, I had lost almost three hundred taels.
The queen looked at it and smiled and said: "Ten more rounds will be enough. Don't delay lunch."
Cen Yunchu smiled and said nothing. If she kept playing, she could win over Cui Ruifei's Ziyun Palace.
In the last round, Cen Yunchu deliberately let the opponent down and lost five cars of silver.
Before I could get up, the emperor came.
It turned out that the emperor went to Cen Yunchu's palace and found that she was not there. He asked the waiter and said that Cen Jieyu had gotten up early to pay her respects to the queen and had not returned yet.
The emperor was a little worried, so he came over in person.
Who would have expected to see Cen Yunchu playing cards with someone.
The card game was supposed to be over, and when the emperor arrived, everyone quickly stood up to pay their respects.
The emperor helped Cen Yunchu up and asked her with a smile: "I am in a good mood today. How much did I win or lose?"
"I lost five taels of silver." Cen Yunchu didn't say he won, only said he lost.
"I gave it to you." The emperor smiled, his love and affection for Cen Yunchu flowing from the corners of his eyes and brows.
Among the concubines in the harem, except the queen, no one has ever seen the emperor have such a look on any of his concubines.
The villain in Cui Ruifei's heart almost turned her eyes blind, thinking that she only lost five taels of silver, but I lost five hundred taels!
"The queen's meritorious deeds have been completed. It would be good for you to play together together from time to time." The emperor said, "Just one table is a bit too little. We should join in a few more games."
"Your Majesty doesn't know, they are not just for fun." The Queen explained with a smile, "They were talking about the border soldiers who were working hard outside and wanted to get some military pay. Cen Jieyu came up with this method, and several people played cards.
All the lost money will be used as military pay.”
"Well, this is a very good method. It's fun while also doing business." The emperor nodded.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rui made the greatest contribution this time." Cen Yunchu said, "The Emperor should also reward her."
Cui Ruifei didn't expect that Cen Yunchu would still speak for her. She was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "What's the point? I was willing to admit defeat. What's more, doing a good thing can be considered a meritorious deed."
"What Concubine Rui said is right, I will add some more merit to you," the emperor said, "The queen is not in good health, and you can now set an example by co-managing the Sixth Palace.
Then sew a uniform yourself and send it to the border along with the money. It will definitely boost morale."
What can Cui Ruifei say? Of course she has to thank the Lord for his grace.
She hated needlework the most in her life. She had never even embroidered a handkerchief, let alone a dress?
The cloth should be thick, the thread should be thick, and the stitches should be dense and should not be delayed for too long.
But it was useless. The emperor asked her to do it, so she had to do it.
The emperor wanted to go to Cen Yunchu's place for lunch, and everyone dispersed.
The weather was fine, so the emperor did not sit on the chariot, but took Cen Yunchu's hand and walked back slowly.
"Is Concubine Cui Ruifei bullying you?" the emperor asked her.
"It doesn't count." Cen Yunchu certainly didn't think that Cui Ruifei had no ill intentions towards her. She just felt that the other party couldn't plot against her at all.
"That's not bullying," the emperor snorted, "That's why I want to vent my anger on your behalf. If she understands, she should restrain herself in the future and stop targeting you."
