"That's really overthinking it. As long as she doesn't cause me any trouble, I won't bother with them."
Songzhi said, "How could they possibly guess what kind of person Her Majesty is?"

Changchun Immortal Hall
Sun Miaoqing, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong were playing mahjong together, and it was the authentic Sichuan mahjong of later generations.
She specially commissioned it to be carved from white jade, with patterns inlaid with gold and various gemstones, making it incredibly luxurious.
Zhen Huan picked up a card, a hint of disappointment on her face, and immediately discarded it.
"Five items."
Shen Meizhuang also picked up a card, smiled and put it into her own hand, then played a large round card.
"Huan'er has written so many notes already, it's clear she wants to get a perfect hand."
Zhen Huan said, "Sister Mei is joking. I've written not only notes, but also other notes. How can it be that they're all the same color?"
Following Chen Meizhuang, An Lingrong picked up a tile, smiled, and pushed out three more twos of bamboo, exclaiming in surprise, "Kong!"
After saying that, he picked up the dice, chose another card, and, overjoyed, pushed all the cards in front of him over.
"A perfect hand of winning numbers! Looks like my luck is on my side today. Ladies, please forgive my inconvenience!"
Sun Miaoqing had a bitter face; she hadn't won a single game all day!
[Was An Xiaoniao a mahjong master in her past life? Her mahjong skills are amazing! I only managed to beat her a few times at the beginning; I haven't won against her even once since!]
Sun Miaoqing said, "I don't believe you're that lucky. Let's switch seats and try again!"
Shen Meizhuang said, "Lingrong's luck at the card table isn't something that's been good for just one day. You've changed positions three times today, so I think you should just accept your fate."
Zhen Huan chuckled and said, "Sister Mei, please stop talking, or our Consort Cheng will start crying."
All three of them couldn't help but laugh. Sun Miaoqing said indignantly, "If you want to switch, I refuse to believe that we can't win a single game today!"
An Lingrong said, "Sister Sun, you can change however you like. It's still early, let's continue."
"I also want to thank my sisters for their help. My mother had a place to stay after arriving in the capital. In particular, Physician Wen's medical skills are superb, which is why my mother's eyes have recovered so well."
"And Sister Sun, if you hadn't sent someone to Songyang to bring my mother here, my father probably wouldn't have let her come to the capital so easily."
Zhen Huan said, "It's nothing. Imperial Physician Wen has high medical ethics. Even if I didn't say anything, she would have helped if she knew about your difficulties."
Sun Miaoqing said, "Once your aunt's eyes are healed, she should stay in the capital and enjoy her retirement. She shouldn't go back. Maybe you'll have another chance to meet her in the future."
An Lingrong was deeply moved and nodded with a smile.
The group played a few more rounds, a game costing one tael of silver, and Sun Miaoqing had already spent a year's worth of monthly allowance.
Although it wasn't a big deal to her, it was still embarrassing. Just as she was about to try again, Baojuan rushed in with a letter.
"This servant greets Consort Cheng and Your Highness."
An Lingrong asked, "What's the matter that's so urgent?"
In front of everyone, Baojuan dared not speak directly, but handed over the letter and said, "My lady, a letter has arrived from Songyang."
