At first, Lu Zhiqian and Jiang Meng were quite nervous and timid about playing cards. It wasn't until they became disillusioned by the loss and started to ignore it that they finally let go.
Yan Qingwan has a calmer temperament than the two of them. She observed Jiang You as soon as she entered the door. Seeing that she had no intention of embarrassing them, she was calm and very cooperative.
She can count cards, and she can win if her cards are better. If her cards are too bad and cannot be saved, she will randomly throw them out. Unless Lu Zhiqian and Jiang Meng get the chosen card, they will get entangled and eventually throw out all the useful cards.
Jiang has the halo of being a heroine and can win with her feet. She played a few games seriously at first, but then she felt bored and was ready to let them go.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiqian and Jiang Meng were furious at the loss and were determined to win, so Jiang You had no choice but to continue playing with them.
Jiang You thought casually: I am really a kind-hearted woman.
The more they wanted to win, the faster they lost. Lu Zhiqian and Jiang Meng played from day to night, but they didn't win a single game.
They were so engrossed in playing that they even forgot to eat. Finally, Jiang asked them to stop. They also had a midnight snack at Lai Yi Palace. After they were full, Jiang sent someone to escort them back.
After the other people were canonized, they all had their own palaces and had moved out long ago. Only the three of them still lived in Chaoyang Palace.
It doesn't feel deserted, but there are less chirping sounds and it's a bit too quiet.
After the escorting palace attendants left, Jiang Meng, the more lively of the three, couldn't help but said: "This Princess Jiang is very different from what I imagined."
Lu Zhiqian is a standard lady from a well-known family, gentle and dignified, with a strong scholarly aura about her body, and her words have a different charm: "I understand why the Jiang Kingdom was destroyed, but she was able to take over the Lai Yi Palace."
"I like her as a girl, not to mention Your Majesty. The one who admires her when she is young is the most affectionate."
"Princess Jiang is indeed beautiful." Yan Qingwan also agreed, "She is casual and free and easy. I envy her this kind of demeanor."
"But don't you think it's strange? Since His Majesty likes her, why didn't you make her a concubine? Even if you can't make her a queen, it's better to make her a noble concubine for the time being." Jiang Meng felt a little unworthy of Jiang Shenyou.
"It's easy to eat carrots and worry about nothing. Even if she doesn't get the title of concubine, she is loved and respected by His Majesty. Do you think anyone in the palace would dare to provoke her?" Lu Zhiqian could clearly see that Wang Jingshu had gone to find trouble for her a long time ago. What was the result? She was not obedient.
I tightened my tail and didn't dare to fart.
"I lost so miserably today, but I still want to play tomorrow and stay for a meal. I wonder if it's my imagination, but the food in her palace is better than what we have here." Jiang Meng looked full of longing.
"It's not an illusion." Yan Qingwan said, "As far as I know, the meals at Lai Yi Palace are specially provided, and the royal chef is on call around the clock. Whenever you want to eat, there will be fresh and hot food."
Jiang Meng was so envious that his mouth was watering.
"Sister Wan, Sister Meng, let's go find Princess Jiang tomorrow." Jiang Meng's eyes were filled with anticipation, but Yan Qingwan and Lu Zhimeng couldn't bear to refuse.
"Let's wait until tomorrow." Yan Qingwan comforted her, "Go to bed early today. If the weather is good tomorrow, we will go and say hello."
"Okay, good night sister Qing, good night sister Meng." After Jiang Meng finished speaking, the three of them went back to their houses to rest.
Early the next morning, the decree of canonization came to Chaoyang Palace.
Jiang Meng was pulled out to receive the order while he was still sleeping. He was stunned and didn't know what night it was.
After hearing Eunuch Wei read out the imperial edict and learning that she had become one of the four concubines, Jiang Meng was still confused.
There was no warning, it was like pie in the sky. Could there be some conspiracy?
Jiang Meng felt that the imperial edict was too hot to handle. Seeing that both sisters had accepted it, Jiang Meng expressed his gratitude and accepted the edict suspiciously.
"It seems we have reason to go to Laiyi Palace." Yan Qingwan couldn't help but laugh, "Just a day of playing with Princess Jiang, and in exchange for three concubines, it's so worth it."
I wonder if Wang Jingshu will be furious when she learns the news that they are concubines?
