Chapter 143 Rules are dead, people are alive
"Since your majesty has said so, I will dare to mention it to you."
"When I was young, I saw people in my hometown playing something very interesting. Three or four people sat around a table, similar to the way Pai Gow is played in gambling houses, but it is much more complicated than those games. Participants have to use their brains during the game, so it is not boring."
While Song Yunchu was speaking, he was observing Jun Liluo's expression.
After all, it was a matter that would violate palace rules, so she couldn't act proactive, lest Jun Li Luo think she was too unscrupulous.
Fortunately, Jun Li Luo did not show any dissatisfaction, but was rather curious.
"It won't be boring, right? Yun Chu, why don't you elaborate on it."
"I'm afraid it's hard to express orally. If Your Majesty is interested in listening, I will draw it for you."
"Then draw it."
Jun Li Luo's gaze returned to the memorial in his hand, while Song Yunchu took out the drawing paper and drew squares on it.
[The dog emperor must have heard that playing mahjong is also a form of gambling. He knew it was against the palace rules, but he didn't reject my proposal. It can be seen that he really wanted to avoid the concubines. As long as he could give them something fun to pass the time, he would do anything.]
[In that case, let's start with Mahjong. Four people can play at one table.]
[Since none of the four of them could see the emperor, jealousy could be avoided. For so long, the only thing that caused the conflict between Zhen Fei and Li Fei was the fight over tribute. If they could be less bored and find ways to relieve boredom, their lives would be happier.]
Jun Li Luo listened to her inner thoughts and raised the corners of his lips.
Palace rules... Rules are dead, people are alive, and many things will not cause trouble as long as they are not made public.
After a long time, Song Yunchu put down his pen.
"Your Majesty, I have finished the painting."
She stood up and handed the drawing paper to the imperial desk. Jun Liluo took a look and was a little surprised, "So many cards?"
He had also seen how Pai Gow was played in gambling houses, but no other version of Pai Gow had so many categories.
No wonder Yun Chu said that this game requires brains to play. With so many cards, people without brains probably won’t be able to handle it.
Fortunately, the concubines are all knowledgeable. Although Shufei is not as talented as others as a spy, she has read many books during special training, so her comprehension ability must be good.
“Although there are many cards, the gameplay is not too complicated.”
Song Yunchu explained the rules to Jun Liluo in detail.
"Your Majesty, do you think this method is feasible?"
"I will order someone to make this deck of cards as soon as possible." Jun Liluo paused and said, "Although it looks like the way they play in a gambling house, as long as I order them not to play with money, it won't count as gambling."
Song Yunchu smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is right. I believe that the ladies are very sensible people. If they are really interested in this, they will definitely keep their mouths shut and control the mouths of their subordinates."
[Playing mahjong without money? That might be a little difficult. 】
[Perhaps they will obey the rules at first because they are under orders, but over time, they will definitely break the rules.]
[It's hard to have it all. When they can't help themselves, maybe I can hint to them to play a little more quietly? As long as they don't tell anyone, there's nothing to be afraid of.]
Jun Li Luo listened to her mumblings without saying anything.
Will it be against the rules if it goes on for too long... Never mind. As Yun Chu said, it's hard to have everything in the world, so why be overly harsh on me.
Jun Li Luo called Manager Li in and handed him the blueprint in his hand.
"Have someone make a deck of cards out of jade according to the style and size on this drawing. Remember, don't tell anyone. If you dare to leak even a word, I will never forgive you."
After giving instructions to Manager Li, Jun Liluo turned his attention back to the pile of memorials on the table. Song Yunchu also returned to his own table and continued to look through the remaining memorials.
As evening approached, Song Yunchu left the palace. Jun Liluo stared at the empty table next to him and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
I remember when Yun Chu first came to this world, he always kept saying in his heart that he hated "overtime work".
And when she realized that being able to "work overtime" in the Imperial Study was a rare privilege, which demonstrated her unique status, she gradually accepted it and got used to it. Although she still liked to curse in her heart, it did not affect her work efficiency.
Even if she is lazy occasionally, she will complete her part.
She obviously spent a lot of time with him, but she couldn't develop any affection for him, perhaps because she always made too clear a distinction between superiors and subordinates.
She also didn't realize that he was no longer as harsh to her as a superior would be to a subordinate.
Jun Li Luo couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, Agent Chu has brought the person here."
The voice of Manager Li sounded in the front, pulling him back to his senses.
He said, "Let them in."
Not long after, Chu Yuni came in with a young man.
The young man was in his early thirties, with a decent appearance. He was wearing a plain grey robe and exuded the air of a scholar.
"I, Kong Xu, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
This was Kong Xu's first time in such a grand place as the imperial palace. Although he tried to look calm, he was amazed in his heart.
The palace was indeed magnificent and even more majestic than what he described in his book.
So this is what the emperor’s study looks like… I’ll know how to write about it from now on.
He had never been to the palace, so when he wrote about the imperial palace in his book, he could only use words based on the scenes described by the storyteller.
His Majesty the Emperor's appearance is truly picturesque.
For the next book, perhaps he could consider writing a story about an emperor and a spy?
He has already thought of a name: The Secret Service.
Jun Liluo naturally had no idea what he was thinking, so he spoke slowly, "Are you Mr. Kongxu?"
"Your Majesty, I am this humble commoner." Kong Xu said respectfully, "I wonder what important matter has your Majesty summoned me to come here for?"
