Extra: The "Well-behaved" Princess
"Princess, have you thought it through? Do you really want to play this game with me? Back in the day, the Empress and I used to play cards all the time, and she always secretly admired my card skills. Do you have enough money for today?"
Liusu, who was beside her, listened and looked at the warm wine beside her. Seeing that her own queen was stunned by what she heard, she choked.
This mighty general's wife...when did she become so fond of boasting?
Perhaps it was due to her age, but she had mistaken the Empress for the Princess. If she hadn't been there, she would have believed all the boasting.
"Madam, please don't brag. I heard that the Queen was unbeatable at the card game back then, and she even beat several princesses so much that they stopped playing with her."
If her second sister-in-law and the others hadn't refused to play with her, would she have come out to play under the name of her daughter? This loud voice actually wanted to fool her daughter?
"What do you know, little kid? I was the top scorer in the mahjong arena back then. Even the Empress couldn't beat me. But, we were all just so powerful back then. Come on, Princess, come and play a few rounds."
Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, my Ma Diao skills are not as good as my mother's, madam, please be merciful."
"Sure, sure."
An hour later, the wife of the mighty general looked at her empty pockets and her face fell: "No more playing, no more playing."
The other two ladies finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, we lost everything. Your Highness is really amazing."
"Thank you, thank you." Wen Jiu said with a smile.
The wife of the mighty general looked suspiciously at the warm wine among the pile of silver. "Your Highness, it seems you and the Empress are cut from the same cloth."
Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Madam, are you still going to play tomorrow?"
"No, no ...
Wen Jiu tried hard not to laugh: "Okay, don't worry."
"Hey, Princess, goodbye."
After seeing them off, Wenjiu sat at the card table, counting his money and sighing, "How boring! There's no one to play with me tomorrow."
Liusu was at a loss for words. "My queen, if you keep winning this way, it won't be long before all the noble ladies in the capital are scared away by you. And today, the mighty general's wife is so good, she's bragging in front of you. Back then, before she married the general, she lost a game of mahjong to you and cried so hard that her clothes were soaked. It was only after you bought her some candied haws that she calmed down."
Speaking of this, Wen Jiu laughed even harder: "Tsk tsk, this girl is becoming more and more like her husband now. But, her card skills are still the same as before."
Liusu couldn't help laughing: "Let's go back now? We've been out for so long, the emperor must be getting anxious."
"No." Wen Jiu stood up and said, "Let's go find my second sister-in-law and the others. If you don't want to play mahjong with me, let's change the way we play."
Not long after, when the second princess saw the wine being warmed in the mansion, she was so scared that she turned around and ran away.
Wenjiu immediately caught the man and said, "Why are you running? At your age, can you please take care of your old arms and legs?"
The Second Princess breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the wine being warmed.
"It's you! You scared me to death! I thought your little devil was back again!"
Wen Jiu's expression suddenly froze: "She's not in your house, is she?"
The Second Princess shook her head. "No, no, she saw me embroidering a little fox screen the other day and she insisted on learning it. She even said that when she was done, she would embroider a portrait of you and the Emperor. She wanted to give it to you as a birthday gift. But you know her skills. She can't even embroider straight threads, let alone a portrait. I don't know how she can be so strong. In the past two days, she's torn ten sheets of embroidery cloth and smashed eight frames. Even several of the maids were frightened and fell ill. Little Eighteen said she had prepared some barbecue and she's gone to eat it with her uncle. She won't be back for a while."
Wen Jiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he held the Second Princess's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Second aunt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear and powerful voice.
When Wenjiu heard this, he immediately grabbed Liusu and ran away.
The Second Princess was a little slow to react, and watched helplessly as Wenjiu entered the inner room, and was mercilessly pushed out, slamming the door shut.
She adjusted her breathing with a stiff face, then turned around and smiled at me: "Little Ancestor, didn't you go out to eat barbecue? Why are you back again?"
Changan said with a smile: "Second Aunt, I think the skill of grilling meat is very good. I plan to learn it from Uncle Eighteen and grill it for you when the time comes. Second Aunt has worked very hard to teach me."
The Second Princess looked at Chang'an's soft eyes and was instantly overwhelmed with cuteness: "Good boy, good boy, our Chang'an has grown up."
Changan's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Wenjiu's, suddenly revealed a hint of cunning. "It's just that, Second Aunt, I accidentally broke Uncle Eighteen's stove, and he said he wouldn't teach me anymore."
"How could Eighteen be like this? Pinming, go and have a good word with little Eighteen. The child is filial, how can you say that? No matter what, he needs to be taught with some patience."
Changan suddenly smiled, revealing his small fangs. "Second Aunt is really good to Changan. Second Aunt, can you take the stove from your house to compensate Uncle Eighteen? I'm sorry that I broke something while filming."
"Go, give him a few more as compensation. Is our family still short of a stove?"
When Changan heard this, he immediately hugged the Second Princess' neck and kissed her on the cheek: "Second Aunt is the best! Changan learned how to roast the first food, and I will definitely give it to Second Aunt."
Having said that, he ran away with the tea.
Not long after warming the wine, he came out from the back and looked at the Second Princess who was still grinning foolishly. The corners of his mouth twitched: "Don't you think there's something wrong with this girl?"
The Second Princess immediately said with a stern face, "What are you talking about? Chang'an is usually the most well-behaved child. He has good intentions, but he's a little clumsy. We just need to teach him a lesson."
Warming wine: "......"
"Report! Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess has had all the stoves and pots taken away!"
Warming wine: "......"
The Second Princess: "...Ahem, Jiu'er, she probably just wants to give an extra eighteen or so."
"Report, the Eighteenth Prince is here, saying that the Princess not only blew up his kitchen, but also kidnapped his son. He's here to ask for your son."
Second Princess: "!!!"
"Well... maybe he went there to play... right?"
Warming wine: "......"
"Report!"
The Second Princess trembled, but managed to steady herself: "Tell me, I can hold on."
"Princess, the eldest princess sent some food over, and she said you must taste it yourself."
Looking at the black and sticky substance in front of them, Wen Jiu and the Second Princess fell into a long silence.
After a while, the Second Princess swallowed her saliva and handed the chopsticks to the warm wine: "How about, Queen, you try it?"
Wen Jiu: "No, no, it's for the princess, so you should enjoy it yourself."
Second Princess: "You are her biological mother."
Wen Jiu: "You are still her aunt."
