The eldest prince looked at Jiang Ranli again, his intimidating eyes full of confusion. Although he couldn't figure out many things, he knew that they were all inextricably linked to the palace maid in front of him.
Yin'er protected Jiang Ranli behind him without leaving any trace, and said to the eldest prince, "Brother, this palace maid of mine has always been timid. You are so powerful, please spare her for my sake."
The eldest prince frowned. He became more and more interested in Jiang Ranli. Everyone knew that his ninth brother had a reputation for being a playboy, but no one had ever seen him protect a woman so much. Moreover, the tenth and fourteenth princes were extremely concerned about the palace maid.
"Fifteenth brother said that Little Sixteen's crying had nothing to do with her, so how could I blame her for no reason? Ninth brother, ask her to tell me what kind of game Landlord is and why Little Sixteen cried so pitifully just because she wanted to play it."
The eldest prince was granted the title of Prince of Zhi in the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Among all the princes today, his status and position is second only to Crown Prince Yinreng. In addition, although he is not a crown prince, he is the eldest prince, so he has great prestige among all the princes.
Now, he said that he would not blame Jiang Ranli, but just asked her a question, and even Yinzhen had nothing to say.
Jiang Ranli had no intention of being a coward. After hearing what the eldest prince said, her eyes swept over Fifteen and Sixteen, and then she said, "In reply to Prince Zhi, Landlord is a game I came up with in my spare time. It is based on fifty-four playing cards and is played by three players. The three sides take turns to deal the cards. One of them is the landlord, and the other two are the other sides. The side that finishes dealing all the cards first wins..."
After finishing a paragraph, Jiang Ranli took a deep breath and thought that explaining this game was too tiring. It would be better if he could drink some water.
However, her wish to drink water could not be fulfilled for a long time, because the eldest prince, the third prince and everyone else had developed a strong interest in Landlord and kept chasing Jiang Ranli and asking various questions.
"Four of the same cards are a bomb, but you can also carry any one or two cards, right?" asked the Third Prince.
Jiang Ranli nodded, "Yes, oh, no, to answer Third Master, yes."
Although it has been a while since she traveled to the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Ranli is still not used to the system here, and she would reveal her flaws from time to time when speaking. Fortunately, everyone's attention is now on playing Landlord, and no one cares about her mistakes.
. . .
After another round of questions, everyone became more interested in the game of Landlord. The eldest prince waved his hand and said to Jiang Ranli, "Your game of Landlord sounds very interesting. How about this, you make a few more sets and let my brothers see them."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room except Yinzhen, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince thanked the Eldest Prince repeatedly, and they were all beaming with joy.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Ranli blinked. She was the one who made the playing cards, so if those people wanted to thank her, they should thank her as the maker, right?
Jiang Ranli was very depressed. It felt like all her hard work had gone to the eldest prince, but all the good reputation had been taken away.
The evil old society, the evil exploiting class!
After the silent protest, Jiang Ranli was still unable to change the reality and had to take on the eldest prince's task. He also had to thank him and say "Thank you, Prince Zhi, for your favor and love."
Jiang Ranli was so angry about this that he felt like vomiting blood. This kind of life of groveling and servility was not a life for a human being.
