My lady, she has all five poisons

Chapter 8 Gambling, Being Followed
The house was silent, and a needle could be heard.

A handful of broken silver, old copper plates, even melon seeds and peanuts wrapped in small bags, as well as snacks and candied fruit wrapped in oiled paper were scattered on the desk.

"Why are you standing there in a daze! Come on, count me in!" Yuan Ruo slightly bent her index finger and tapped on the table: "Hurry up!"

She had already stepped on the stool with one foot, her sleeves were rolled up halfway, and she was full of pride.But when he heard 'wow...', Hei Qiuqiu's hut fell to his knees instantly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, the little ones don't dare anymore, never dare again! I beg the princess to spare the little ones this time!"

Groups of gray shadows kowtowed like garlic.

With black lines all over her head, Yi Dong lowered her voice and tugged at the corner of Yuan Ruo's clothes: "Miss, image, pay attention to image..."

Yuan Ruo's expression faltered, he cleared his throat uncomfortably, then quietly withdrew his feet without showing any signs, and said with a straight face, "It's outrageous! Gathering people to gamble during working hours, how decent it is!"

"Which yard do you all belong to?"

A young servant in a blue cloth shirt hurried forward, bowed his head and replied honestly: "Your Majesty, we are all coolies in the outer court. We work hard on weekdays, and only play here when we are off work. We dare not go beyond the rules. Also ask your empress to learn from you!"

Isn't that overstepping the rules?Tsk.

"Coolies in the Outer Court?" Yuan Ruo walked up and down in front of the talking servant and said condescendingly, "It's the coolies in the Outer Court, so why don't you guys help when all the servants in the West Garden are cutting down trees?"

"My lady, all things have spirits. It's a pity to cut down the luxuriant trees. I couldn't bear to wait, so I didn't join in the fun."

Yidong couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

What a liar!
"Oh, it seems that you're here to pick a game..." Yuan Ruo's voice was unhurried, but his eyes gradually became sharper: "You are so courageous!"

The other party's body was visibly stiff, and soon he kowtowed twice, and said in a soft tone: "Your Majesty has eyes! Brothers do their best for the palace all day long, and they do their best. But when people eat five grains, there are always some unsatisfactory times."

"When people are worried, they slack off. If they make mistakes, they will cause trouble for the masters! I heard the old saying: "Small gambling is fun!" So I thought I was smart and came up with such a way to relieve the emotions of the brothers. There's a place to vent."

Shameless to be able to talk nonsense in a serious manner with such confidence!This kid has a future!
"You, raise your head!" She had to see what a person with such a thick skin looked like!
Yuan Ruo lowered his head and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the upturned face was handsome and fair, with only a shallow scar under the left eye, stretching from the side of the nose to the root of the ear.This temperament is obviously different from the domestic servants who do rough work in the outer courtyard.

"Prince, princess, I already have someone I like..." Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Yuan Ruo, the little servant said timidly.If you listen carefully, you can still hear the unyielding and shame hidden in the voice.

Yuan Ruo almost laughed angrily.

Yidong's fiery temper was instantly ignited, and he took a sip: "Bah, you think beautifully! Don't even look at what kind of person you are, a toad wants to eat swan meat! Why don't you be beautiful to death! Miss, see if I don't tear him apart!" Q!"

There was a sound of sucking air in the room.

Yuan Ruo pressed the forehead: "Dongdong, be good, please don't talk."

Holding back Yidong who was running away, Yuan Ruo waved his hand to everyone in the room: "Okay, don't kneel down. My princess is in a good mood today, and I will play a few games with you. If I win, today's affairs will be nothing. It didn't happen."

God Nima is in a good mood!Who didn't know that the princess wanted to climb the wall to get out of the mansion early this morning, but was bumped into by the prince!Didn't go out and didn't say anything, and forced the prince to even take care of the back road!
The concubine is angry in her heart, I'm afraid she is looking for a punching bag everywhere!
Everyone is bitter, this damn is clearly here to extort money, how is it different from bandits and robbers? !

The majestic Princess Mu, why is she such a famous person?It's different from the rumors!

Yuan Ruo didn't care about that.The dice cup on the desk was still sealed and placed there, Yuan Ruo waved his big hand in greeting: "Hurry up! Open a new one after this game is over!"

Everyone huddled around the table in fear, not daring to speak loudly.

Qingyu, who was watching the excitement from the West Garden, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yuan Ruo and Yidong's sneaky figures, and out of curiosity, she followed them all the way.

After hiding outside the house and eavesdropping for a long time, she ran all the way back to Huaixianju in disbelief.

"Madame, madam..."

"How flustered and flustered! If the prince sees it, he should be punished! If you have something to say, speak slowly." Huai Yan was half leaning on the couch in a light gauze, with slender fingers, threading needles, and in her hand was a half-embroidered multicolored mandarin duck.

The mandarin duck stitches are fine and vivid, as if they are about to swim out of the beauty's fingertips inadvertently.

Qingyu stood firm, took a light breath and spoke again: "Ma'am, I just ran into Princess Wang and her personal maid Yidong in the West Garden!"

"Oh, the West Garden is busy today, so what if my sister goes over to take a look! You're used to making a fuss!"

"Ma'am! The concubine and Yi Dongruo are just going to join in the fun, so you can act generously! But the slave servant sees the two of them sneaking around, and seems to be afraid of being discovered!"

"The servant was curious, so she followed her all the way. She followed outside the washroom, and saw the two of them go straight into the deserted courtyard next to the washroom!"

"The courtyard is desolate, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time. But the slaves followed and heard a man's voice from outside one of the houses!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Huai Yanban straightened his face, his ears were a little red, and he said in embarrassment: "Sister Wangfei is not that kind of person! Don't speculate wantonly!"

"Qingyu, we have just entered the mansion, so think twice before acting!"

"Yes, ma'am! This servant is being reckless!" Qingyu lowered her head, respectfully.

"The house is deep, and my sister is probably bored, so I just wanted to have some fun! Hey... Qingyu, how is the soup for the prince?"

Twilight gradually shrouded the sky, the crescent moon was already hanging high on the eaves, and the lights of various houses in the metropolis were lit up one after another.

On the west side of Prince Mu's Mansion, the desolate small courtyard next to the washroom was still desolate, but only when he approached did he hear the roaring and clamoring inside.

"Come again! Bet big!"

"Small!"

"Beat bet!!"

"Buy and leave! Buy and leave!"

"Big! Big! Big! Big! Big!"

"Small! Small! Small!"

"Open! Three, four, six, thirteen o'clock!"

"Hahaha, big!! Come here! Give me money!" Yuan Ruo stepped on a stool, pressed his hands on the gaming table, and shouted at the top of his voice, as if he had been in the market all year round.

There are no masters, servants or men and women in the house, and the whole group is red-eyed.

Yidong was also well-educated, imitating his young lady, pointing at the servant who wanted to run away and yelling: "If you lose, you want to run away! Are you a fucking man!"

"Dongdong, how much money is Ge Laizi short?" Yuan Ruo asked looking at the man who was pinned down on the stool by his collar.

"Miss, it's not much, it's 75 yuan short!" Yidong responded loudly, afraid that someone might not be able to hear clearly.

"Oh." Yuan Ruo looked up and down the short man with a bumpy face on the opposite side: "No money, right?"

The man named Ge Laizi's face was flushed red, but he held back and said nothing.

Yuan Ruo raised his eyebrows and nodded at him: "This gown can be exchanged for some money. Come on, let me strip him of his skin!"
