Chapter 297 Where does the confidence come from to compete with her?

Yupin thought that this was just a simple game of cards, but in fact, she had already fallen into the trap set by Jiang Xinyue.

What do you mean you can't play cards? What do you mean you have lost for several days in a row?

It's just that Jiang Xinyue is slowly developing her appetite.

It doesn't matter if Yupin is addicted. She can't leave the palace anyway, so it's okay to play cards every day for entertainment.

In the palace, people are either masters or servants. Whether she wins or loses money, she won't gamble away the family.

Yupin played a pair of flower cards. Jiang Xinyue pretended that she couldn't afford it at first. Yupin was proud and deliberately played a three: "I'm afraid that the Royal Concubine will lose too badly later, so let you win!"

It hit Jiang Xinyue's heart.

She nodded: "Thank you, I have a king, do you want it?"

Who can afford it without a bomb?

Yupin looked down at the cards in her hand, and then looked at the cards she had just played on the table. She thought Jiang Xinyue didn't have a big card, so she took away all the bombs in her hand.

She shook her head with a dark face.

Jiang Xinyue played a flush in one hand, and Yupin's face became even darker.

"You can't afford it! Then I win!"

She imitated the tone of Concubine Yu just now, and placed the last little king in her hand flat on a pile of cards: "Oh! I'm so sorry, I played this hand, and you, Concubine Yu, played cards for four days in vain! Not only did you return all the money I won, but you also lost all your original capital! You won't hide and cry later, will you?"

Concubine Yu realized that she was set up, but it was too late. All her money was taken away by Xi Que and Shuang Jiang.

Her legs softened and she fell on the chair: "After all, I lost so much that I have no pants to wear."

Lady Ye followed Concubine Yu out again. Compared with the cheerful atmosphere last time, today was much more depressed.

She didn't even dare to say anything.

"Ha!"

Yupin suddenly laughed: "She played cards in such a roundabout way that I was stunned. Where did I get the confidence to think that I could beat her?"

In the past, she and Jiang Xinyue fought to the death. Although she died and Jiang Xinyue lived every time, she never admitted defeat. She always felt that she had a chance to turn the tables and would beat her one day.

But after today's game, she thoroughly realized the gap between herself and Jiang Xinyue.

Take playing cards for example, ordinary people would never be willing to spend four thousand taels to gamble on an uncertain outcome.

But Jiang Xinyue dared to do so.

A few days ago, she lost 4,000 taels to Yupin. Don't

think that 4,000 taels is a small amount. The price of goods in the Great Yan Dynasty is that 10 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to save money for a year. Think about how many ordinary people can be supported by 4,000 taels?

She is not afraid that Yupin will stop after winning 4,000 taels and never fight with them again.

Jiang Guipin accepted the 500 taels kickback from Jiang Xinyue and asked the same question as Yupin: "My Lady, you asked me to invite Yupin, but you gave her money every time. Aren't you afraid that she will run away after winning the money?"

“She won’t.”

Jiang Xinyue’s eyes showed a cunning light: “I haven’t won a single game for four days, and I’m a bad gambler. It’s obvious that this is a sure win, why doesn’t she come? Gamblers want to make 40,000 after making 40,000, and 400,000 after making 40,000. Not to mention that Yupin is already angry about me snatching the emperor’s favor away. How can she let me go if she doesn’t win back in the casino?”

Now, in order to vent her anger, she has lost all her coffins!

However, when Yupin was leaving, her expression did not look like resentment towards the Royal Concubine, but more like she suddenly fell into some kind of contemplation.

"But it's all right now!"

Jiang Xinyue held Concubine Jiang's face and said, "Thank you for asking her out for me. She would definitely refuse if I asked her out. When the emperor's poison is cured, I will ask him to take you out to play."

She heard that the emperor would visit the palace incognito every year when he came to escape the summer heat, saying that he was understanding the people's sentiments, but in fact he was mostly playing around in the local area.

There are also several concubines in the harem who were brought back from the people by the emperor!

Concubine Jiang blushed and laughed, the hands of the imperial concubine smelled so good!

"It is my blessing to be able to share the worries of the queen."

This is not flattery, but the heartfelt words of Concubine Jiang.

She seemed to suddenly remember something, and she woke up from Jiang Xinyue's beauty attack: "By the way, has your Jiang family offended Concubine De or the Chengguo Mansion?"

Jiang Xinyue heard the word "Concubine De" and immediately became alert, and asked carefully: "Why do you ask this?"

Jiang Guipin said uncertainly: "Isn't my father the Minister of Personnel? The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion and demotion assessment of officials in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. Not long ago, my father wrote to me and said that after we came to Chenzhou, the Ministry of Justice A chief official took leave. My father thought it was too coincidental, so he secretly investigated and found out that this chief official was actually a member of the Chengguo Public Security Bureau. He did not go home when he took leave, but went to the Chengguo Mansion. As for what Chengguo entrusted him to do, he could not find out. "Minister

Jiang was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Jiang Yankun would return to Beijing and find out that the officials of the Ministry of Justice had asked for leave from the Minister of Personnel and there was a problem. He really couldn't stand the harsh and vicious mouth of Minister Jiang.

It would rather be a bit hard and tired to investigate it now, rather than have Minister Jiang scold him in the future.

What a ghost, it is clear that the Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six ministries, but he is controlled by Minister Jiang in every way and acts according to his eyes.

"Defei..."

Jiang Xinyue muttered silently: "When Ma Yiyang, the head of the Ministry of Justice, comes back, you ask me again in front of the emperor what you just asked me."

If it is appropriate, you should say it in front of the right person.

Whether she has offended Defei and whether her stepfather has offended Chengguogong, this should be asked by the emperor.

The emperor is such a smart person, he will give Jiang Guipin an answer.

Jiang Guipin thought about it for a while, and understood what she meant, and nodded vigorously: "I will not let the queen down."

"Pray--"

After the sound of horse hooves, there were corpses all over the ground.

Ma Yiyang wiped the bloody sword clean, and his cold eyes were full of murderous intent that had not yet subsided.

There was a ragged young man lying on the ground. If he hadn't rushed out to block the sword for him, he would have been seriously injured if not dead, and he would not have been able to complete the task assigned by the Shangshu.

The cold sword blade lifted the chin of the dying young man, and his tone was as cold as his appearance: "What's your name? Why did you save me?"

The young man squinted his eyes, wearing a mask on half of his face, and said with all his strength: "Zhu... Zhu Jia Erlang..."

After saying that, the young man's head tilted and he fainted.

Ma Yiyang quickly pulled back the sword to avoid hurting anyone by mistake.

"Zhu Erlang?"

The younger brother of the late queen!
