"Get ready, I'm going to turn your card over tonight!"
"You...but, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
Nangong Xue naturally understood everything clearly, but she just didn't understand these strange words.
Xing Bang chuckled and said, "You will understand in the future."
There is no such thing as flipping cards in Dayao’s harem, and this should not exist in this world either.
Or it must be his original creation...
Nangong Xue curled her lips and didn't ask any more questions. She was no longer surprised by the new and strange tricks of Xing Bang.
…
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Your Majesty, the secret decree from Marquis Xiliang has arrived!"
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun presented a sealed box.
Liu Xian didn't say anything, quickly tore off the outer seal, then took out the memorial and began to read it.
Soon, a happy smile appeared on his face after he put away the secret fold.
"My dear companion, please go to Yong'an Palace. I haven't visited Madam Yu for some time. I heard from Xiaobangzi that she is very enthusiastic about this Mahjong competition. I believe the palace has asked someone to go there. I will also go there to join in the fun."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun was also very happy to arrange for the imperial carriage. It had been a long time since he saw the emperor so happy, so he naturally couldn't hide his joy.
Soon, Liu Xian arrived at Yong'an Palace. Without asking anyone to report, he took Cao Zhengchun and strolled to the main hall of the palace.
Cao Zhengchun also silenced the eunuchs and maids along the way.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he heard the laughter of the concubines inside. Liu Xian smiled slightly and said, "It would be great if the harem could always maintain this joyful and peaceful atmosphere."
As he said this, he strode into the hall.
"Your Majesty, why did you come here without informing anyone?"
Madam Yu called several concubines, who were sitting on the side watching. When they saw Liu Xian, they were almost at the mahjong table. They were surprised and stood up quickly.
At this time, the concubines who were playing mahjong also quickly stood up to welcome the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I welcome you!"
A pleasant harmony sounded...
Liu Xian waved his hand and said, "My beloved concubines, there is no need to be polite. Just continue playing. I just want to see if you are proficient in Mahjong when I have nothing better to do."
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Madam Yu quickly asked Liu Xian to sit in his seat, and then several concubines also sat down one after another.
"I have prepared generous rewards for this Mahjong competition. You must all study hard."
"Don't be so reserved. I heard him outside just now and he was very happy. He is still the same as before!"
Liu Xian saw that the excitement was gone, so he quickly told the concubines to relax and be bolder.
Soon, the atmosphere became lively and the concubines became more serious.
In this way, Liu Xian was in a very good mood and laughed and played happily with her concubines.
However, after about half an hour, all the concubines left. After all, they had already learned it before Liu Xian came.
Then, Liu Xian pulled Madam Yu to sit on the soft couch.
"Wanqing, I never thought that you, who usually likes quietness, would be so active today. It seems that I was right to organize this mahjong competition.
In the future, when you have nothing to do, you can also invite some people to come over and play for a while. I will also come over to have fun with you when I am free."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will keep it in mind."
Liu Xian patted Madam Yu's hand and continued, "I wonder how your practice is going, my beloved concubine. Do you have the confidence to take the first place?"
Madam Yu smiled slightly, "I don't care whether I win first or not. It's rare for me to have fun with my sisters. We can have fun together more often through mahjong to enhance our relationship. If the harem is peaceful, it can be regarded as a relief for Your Majesty. I am happy in my heart."
Liu Xian nodded with satisfaction, then sighed slightly and said, "It would be great if everyone around me was as generous and wise as you, my beloved concubine."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just doing my duty. In fact, under the management of the Queen, the concubines in the harem get along quite well with each other."
Although Madam Yu lived in seclusion, she knew all the right and wrong in the harem and the court like a mirror, but she just didn't want to get involved and stay out of it.
What's more, I have no thoughts at all. I just want to spend the rest of my life in this deep palace without any desires or requests.
Madam Yu has been thinking this way for decades, but today she seemed to see hope in Shouning Palace, and some ripples began to form in her heart.
"Oh, my beloved, I have something happy to tell you. Xiliang Hou will arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow. You and your sister haven't seen each other for three years. Now that the border is stable, let him and his family stay in Beijing for a while so that you can catch up with each other."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Madam Yu was very happy about this matter. Marquis Xiliang was her only brother, and his whole family was far away in Xiliang. It could be said that she had no close relatives in the capital.
"Okay, my beloved, take a rest. I will talk to you another day."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
Then, Liu Xian took Cao Zhengchun away from Yong'an Palace.
…
When Xing Bang returned to the torture chamber, he heard Li Xiaowan's voice.
"Aunt Rushuang, let's play mahjong with Aunt Fanghua. I'm really good now, and I will definitely help Aunt Fanghua get good results in the competition."
"Well, since I've been grumbling to you for so long, I'll play with you for a while."
After a long time, Li Xiaowan persuaded Bai Rushuang to come and play mahjong.
Madam Fanghua smiled and said, "Well, since you have taught your Aunt Rushuang, let's play for a while."
"But we are short of one person. Xiaowan, go call your mother over and teach her as well."
Madam Fanghua was not very interested in the mahjong competition held in the harem. She thought that the sisters could have some fun in this mahjong room when they had nothing to do.
"Ah? The three of us can play, but if my mom is here, I'll be nervous..."
Li Xiaowan felt a little guilty. If her mother knew that she had been nagging Aunt Bai about playing mahjong for most of the day, she would scold her again.
At this time, Xing Bang walked in.
"Brother Bang, you're back!"
Li Xiaowan's eyes lit up, as if she had found a life-saving straw, and she turned around and said, "This is enough for me."
Xing Bang laughed, "Okay, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"
Li Xiaowan giggled, took Xing Bang and sat down.
"Okay, let's play a few games quickly. Nangong knows I'm back, so he should be here soon."
Xing Bang sat down and started to sort the cards.
"Ah? So that's it. Aunt Fanghua is right. My mother doesn't know how to do it yet. I'll go call her over now!"
As she spoke, Li Xiaowan stood up and trotted out, looking like a guilty thief.
I think it is because Nangong Xue has taught Li Xiaowan a lot during this period of time. During these days when I was away, they got along better than before. I have never seen Li Xiaowan call her aunt so intimately before.
Xing Bang laughed, "Guess, will Xiaowan come with Daxuexue in a while?" He was sure that Li Xiaowan would not come.
Then, the four of them closed the door and played mahjong...
