Chapter 313 Take a walk after dinner

This is intolerable! Nobody could tolerate this. Just moments ago, Consort Rong, Consort Xiao Hesheli, and Consort Hui, who were filled with envy, exchanged glances and then looked at Mingxiu together.

Mingxiu didn't care at all, happily counting the money she had won that day.

Today is a good day!

Today is a good day!

May all your wishes come true!

Mingxiu hummed a song happily. Today was truly a good day, a day for her to make a fortune. You see, she had almost always lost money when she played cards before, and had never won. She never expected to win so much today.

The three of them squinted, watching Mingxiu's arrogant demeanor, knowing that she could turn her attention entirely to the mahjong game at any moment.

Then, Mingxiu, who was initially happy about the game, saw that she was losing money one after another. Her face grew angrier and angrier. When she finally looked at her empty bank account, Mingxiu was very unhappy: "Why do I always lose when I play cards? Are you cheating? I taught you how to play, how come you are all so much better than me?"

The other three chuckled mysteriously, "What cheating? Didn't your sister watch the whole time? There was nothing we could do, since she never looked when she played her cards and always ended up giving away points." Little Hesheli covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Actually, that requires cheating. When Mingxiu plays mahjong, she has a habit of her eyebrows twitching involuntarily whenever she gets a tile she likes or wants, and she looks very happy. However, her eyebrows remain calm when she doesn't get the tile she wants. The other three girls naturally noticed this characteristic of Mingxiu, so they would guess which tile she wanted and which she didn't based on her expression, and thus wouldn't let her win.

The other two also smiled broadly: "Aren't you happy? I told you you'd never win at cards, and even if you did, you'd still lose money in the end. You didn't believe me, but now you do." Consort Hui teased.

Consort Rong's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Mingxiu pouted as she sat in her seat watching the mahjong game, not understanding what was wrong with her. She clearly thought she was playing very well.

Although Consort Hui, Consort Rong, and Lady Hesheli knew about her problem, they did not intend to say anything. They found it quite adorable to see Mingxiu losing the game without even knowing why she had lost.

This was part of the fun the three of them had playing cards, so naturally they wouldn't tell anyone.

Besides, Mingxiu isn't short of money, so it has no impact on her at all.

Mingxiu complained a couple of times, just like before, and then it was time for dinner. Since Yierjueluo Genshi was staying outside and couldn't leave the palace too late, Mingxiu's dinner was brought forward so that everyone could finish their dinner there before going back.

After finishing the mahjong game, Mingxiu took her people out for dinner. Yierjueluo Genshi initially felt a little embarrassed for eating early and wanted to leave first, but was persuaded by Mingxiu and Consort Hui to stay.

Because there are children tonight, Mingxiu specially prepared steamed egg custard and milk pudding. The milk pudding, in particular, was something Mingxiu had recently made. It was very milky and had a light sweetness. It was a taste that Fubao had never had before, and he loved it so much that he sat on the children's chair that Mingxiu had prepared and ate happily, babbling happily.

The five adults next to them were also happy to see the child so happy from eating the delicious food. Even Guarjia, who had lost her appetite since becoming pregnant, ate a lot more when she saw how much Fubao was eating.

Mingxiu watched from the side, feeling rather happy. She had only noticed Fubao's cuteness, but she hadn't expected it to have such an effect.

After finishing their meal, the group went back, but Lady Guarjia stayed behind. Yinreng would come to pick her up later.

Mingxiu had someone take Guarjia Shi for a stroll in the courtyard. It wasn't good to sit down right after eating, so Guarjia Shi looked at herself and then at Mingxiu, saying that it wasn't good to sit down after eating, but Mingxiu didn't move at all.

Mingxiu noticed the way Guarjia was looking at her, but she pretended not to see it. She had already done a lot of exercise. Anyway, she had been exhausted by Kangxi last night, and Mingxiu felt that her whole body was still sore and weak.

So I don't want to do anything at all, and even though I know it, I just can't do it.

Myung-soo is a steadfast individual who only works sporadically, so it's impossible for him to make a move.

He avoided Guarjia's gaze and went back to his room.

When Yinreng arrived, he saw that Yonghe Palace was brightly lit, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and his Crown Princess was leisurely strolling around the courtyard, looking around.

Yinreng walked over, took the hand of the palace maid next to him, and helped Guarjia Shi up: "Why are you alone outside? Didn't you say there were many people playing mahjong? Ming Mother Consort."

"Everyone has gone back and has already eaten. My mother said that sitting still right after eating is good for your health, so she asked me to get up and walk around. My mother is inside the room."

As Yinreng listened to Guarjia's words, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Even Consort Ming knew that it was not good to lie down after eating, and she knew to urge others to do the same, but she herself just didn't.

"Did Consort Ming go back to lie down after finishing her meal?" Yinreng said helplessly.

Guarjia nodded with a smile.

"I'll go talk to Consort Ming. She really knows it's not good to lie down right after eating, but she should at least move around a bit." Yinreng was quite helpless. Sometimes he thought Consort Ming was really amazing, but other times he thought she was really childish.

After saying that, he was about to turn around when he was pulled back by Lady Guarjia. Yinreng turned his head and looked at her in confusion.

Guarjia quickly explained, "Before the Crown Prince arrived, Consort Ming said that if you came and told her, you should say that she already knew and would turn it on her own later, and that you shouldn't bother her. If you bother her, she won't turn it on anymore." Guarjia laughed as she spoke, showing how well Consort Ming really understood the Crown Prince.

Yinreng was speechless. What could he say? Even his father, the Emperor, sometimes didn't listen to his mother, let alone him. Helpless, he could only take his Crown Princess back with him.

After all, it was already quite late.

As for why she didn't greet Mingxiu, Guarjia explained, "Because Mingxiu's mother directly told them that if Yinreng came, they should be sent away immediately and not greet her at all."

What could Yinreng do? He could only obediently comply.

Yinreng has been investigating Princess Tilan's matter for the past few days, and he has almost finished investigating it.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Yinreng stood on the platform and recounted the results of his investigation over the past period.

Kangxi sat on the throne, looking at the findings that Yinreng had uncovered.
