In the third game where the outcome was determined, Wei Zi and Feng Danyuan played extremely calmly.
Feng Danyuan seemed to be giving Wei Zi time to think, and the cards he played were a few minutes slower than in the second game.
Wei Zi was not polite either.
Indeed, she needed more time to consider his playing style and strategy, and calculate the order in which he would play his cards.
There was no emotion on Feng Danyuan's face, but if you look closely, you can clearly see his admiration for Wei Zi in his peach blossom eyes: This Crown Princess is really smart.
She accepted the cards he handed out unceremoniously.
At the end of the fight, Wei Zi won without any doubt.
Of course, this was only for the two people at the card table, while the people around them, such as the clueless Crown Prince, looked in disbelief.
If he hadn't been the prince, Feng Danyuan would have really said something venomous: Where are you from?
Wei Zi was too lazy to care about the prince anymore, and took a long breath of relief in his heart.
"Feng Shizi, I won." She said.
"Princess, you win." Feng Danyuan replied.
Wei Zi stood up and bowed: "Farewell."
Seeing that Ji Qi was still standing stupidly, she called out in a low voice: "Prince."
"Oh." Ji Qi finally came to his senses, straightened his back, and walked towards the outside with his head held high.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Feng Danyuan's voice came from behind.
Ji Qi turned around and said, "All the debts between us have been written off. Is there anything else?"
Feng Danyuan smiled slightly: "It's nothing special. I just want to remind His Highness that the ten thousand gold can be returned by Your Highness in a few days, right?"
"What ten thousand gold -" Ji Qi's voice stopped suddenly, and he remembered that Feng Danyuan lent him ten thousand gold at the card table today, and he also asked Bocheng to write an IOU.
Wei Zi glanced at Bocheng in confusion.
Bocheng also remembered it. He told the princess what happened today very briefly and did not mention the details here.
He silently walked a few steps towards Wei Zi, leaned close to her, and whispered: "The prince ran out of money halfway through gambling, so Feng Shizi lent the prince 10,000 gold."
Wei Zi: "..." She doesn't want to say anything anymore. For ten thousand gold, Ji Qi can go alone!
Ji Qi became angry: "It's just ten thousand gold, I'll have it delivered tomorrow!"
Bocheng's knees softened and he almost fell to his knees.
"Then Prince Lao, the house has been leaking recently. If you send money, I can renovate the house." Feng Danyuan said with a satisfied smile as he bid farewell to the unjust man.

On the carriage back to the palace, Ji Qi calmed down and began to regret.
"How did you win those two rounds of cards just now?" he asked Wei Zi.
"Luck. I've calculated the almanac when I go out today, and everything will be fine." Wei Zi was talking casually. Anyway, if she told the prince that she won by counting cards, he wouldn't believe it.
"Then you can tell me whether everything will be good or bad for me tomorrow?" Ji Qi looked like he was asking for advice humbly.
It made Wei Zi dumbfounded. If she couldn't understand such a clear meaning, she would be blind.
"Tomorrow you send 10,000 gold to Feng Shizi's house, and everything will be auspicious." Now that the prince had spoken, there was no way around this matter, so Wei Zi helped him get straight to the point and pointed out the topic directly.
"I don't have that much money, do you have any ideas?" Ji Qi lowered his noble head.
