Empress Xiao hummed lightly, "But, little Korean, you don't have to take this matter too seriously. Don't try to be tough for me."
She had accidentally thought of this matter after she had recovered from her back pain, with the mentality of adding icing on the cake, but she would never allow Xing Bang to have any mistakes.
Xing Bang knew very well that he also had an unshirkable responsibility. He specialized in treating dark and obscure diseases, and he was almost beaten to death for treating a patient...
At this moment, Xiaoxin's voice sounded outside the door. It should be Madam Fanghua and others who had arrived.
Then, Xing Bang followed Empress Xiao directly to the main hall, where the concubines paid their respects and received the emperor every day.
Soon, three women dressed solemnly and beautifully entered the main hall.
Queen Xiao took a few steps forward to greet them. The graceful and elegant woman in the lead should naturally be Madam Yu.
"Sister Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I know you like quiet time. His Majesty's birthday is coming soon. Please come over to discuss relevant matters!"
"You're welcome, Queen."
"Meet the Queen!"
Madam Fanghua and Lady Gao bowed to Empress Xiao.
"No need to be so polite, my two sisters!"
Queen Xiao responded generously, then took Madam Yu's hand and walked inside in a friendly manner. Queen Xiao, who was the most respected person in the harem, directly called her sister, so one can imagine the importance of Madam Yu.
Xing Bang just glanced at her out of the corner of his eye but didn't dare to stare at her blatantly. However, he would soon have a chance to look at her straight in the eye.
Madam Yu's voice was very gentle and pleasant, and sounded very kind.
Then, the four of them sat down. Queen Xiao naturally sat in the main seat, Xing Bang stood behind her, Madam Yu sat to her left, and Concubine Gao and Madam Fanghua sat down opposite them in turn.
The concubines in the harem came to pay their respects every day. Only those with high status were qualified to sit down. Below the queen were two ladies and four beauties. The other concubines could only stand. Many concubines with low status were not even qualified to stand in the palace. They could only kowtow outside the palace to pay their respects every day.
Xing Bang did not work in Shouning Palace, so he naturally had never witnessed the grand occasion of paying respects every day.
"Fanghua, long time no see, how are you?"
After sitting down, Madam Yu actually greeted Madam Fanghua in a very friendly tone, and there was no sign of surprise on her face as to why Madam Fanghua came out of the torture chamber.
"Fortunately, Sister Yu is concerned about you."
Madam Fanghua also responded very politely, and it seemed that the relationship between the two seemed to be good.
"Sister Fanghua, I'm afraid you'll be returning to the harem. This is really cause for celebration!"
Lady Gao also echoed the sentiment, saying that she and Madam Yu certainly didn't know about the mahjong competition, so they naturally thought that Madam Fanghua would not come out of the torture chamber for no reason.
Empress Xiao said loudly at this time: "You sisters are asked to come here today because His Majesty has ordered it. I just found out about it. His Majesty is going to hold a mahjong competition on his birthday and ask all the sisters to participate. Fanghua is also participating in it under His Majesty's order, so I asked her to come here today to listen together.
His Majesty asked me to take care of this matter, and the little stick beside me assisted me. It was he who invented mahjong."
As she spoke, Empress Xiao glanced at Xing Bang from the side...
Madam Yu and Lady Gao naturally looked over here.
"Oh, that's the eunuch in the torture chamber who cured smallpox some time ago."
"Yes, I asked Sister Yu and my two younger sisters to come here today because I want us to learn Mahjong together. His Majesty has already given an order to Little Bangzi, asking him to teach all the concubines in the harem within three days. His Majesty also said that this time there will be a very generous gift."
"I've heard of mahjong before, but I've never played it."
Lady Gao's eyes brightened as she stared at Xing Bang. She had only heard of him but never seen him before. She didn't expect him to be so handsome!
Madam Fanghua was naturally very quiet and peaceful. She knew very well that her man was the center of attention wherever he went.
"Your Majesty is not in good health, and there is nothing new in previous birthday celebrations. It is good for the harem to have fun together this time. Since it is His Majesty's will, we should actively participate. Take this opportunity, and the sisters can also get close to each other."
"I will also do my best."
Madam Yu was the first to express her opinion, so naturally Madam Fanghua and Lady Gao would have no objections.
Soon, Xiaoxin brought the prepared mahjong with his maid.
They set up their stall directly in the main hall.
At this time, Xing Bang followed Queen Xiao down from the main seat.
"Little Stick, I'll follow your instructions from now on."
"Yes, my lady!"
Then, at Xing Bang's signal, the maid set up the table and placed four seats.
"Ladies, please take your seats."
Xing Bang didn't tell them how to sit. They were all extremely smart women, so there was no need to say anything more.
Empress Xiao sat in a position facing the inner side of the palace entrance, with Madam Yu on her left, Concubine Gao on her right, and Madam Fanghua at the end opposite her.
As expected, they were seated according to their status and order of importance. Madam Fanghua was naturally very sensible. She was now just an abandoned concubine, so she naturally took the last seat.
Normally according to status, Gao Meiren should sit at the last seat.
The position directly opposite the door is the main position, the left is noble and the right is humble, this has been the case since ancient times.
After they sat down, Empress Xiao pointed at Madam Yu and said, "Little Bangzi, let me introduce you. This is Madam Yu."
"The slave Xiaobangzi greets Madam Yu!"
She just smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Don't be nervous and raise your head. You are our teacher now. You must teach us well."
"yes."
Xing Bang then raised his head and looked at Madam Yu, who also looked at him with a smile...
So kind, mature and charming, really beautiful!
When their eyes met, there was an unusual movement in "Feng Hua Bao Jian", and another beauty was included in the collection.
There was no time to check the information, Queen Xiao introduced Concubine Gao, who was also a real beauty, and was included as expected.
Xing Bang thought that there was no way these beauties in the harem were bad, naturally they were all beauties!
Finally, Empress Xiao's gaze fell on Madam Fanghua, "I don't need to introduce Madam Fanghua to you."
As a queen, she had the proper bearing and her expression and tone were naturally graceful and elegant.
Madam Fanghua smiled slightly as a greeting.
Xing Bang thought, Fanghua, sooner or later I will make you legitimate...
"Okay, little stick, let's get started."
Then, Xing Bang began to explain in detail how to play mahjong, and the concubines all listened very seriously with their brows slightly frowned.
After about a quarter of an hour, the smart girls also roughly understood it.
"Okay, now that the ladies understand, let's officially practice a few rounds."
Then, Xing Bang gave some instructions, and several beauties started to code the cards...
After she understood everything, Lady Gao suddenly smiled and asked Xing Bang: "Little Bang, I heard that people use this to gamble..."
Xing Bang nodded, and then Lady Gao looked at Empress Xiao and continued, "Your Majesty, should we also add some prizes to make it more fun?"
