Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 858 The contrast between the concubines

It's already the beginning of summer, but it's still very cool in the Imperial Garden.

In the Peony Pavilion, Bai Jieyu, Lu Meiren, and Qu Cairen, all dressed up carefully, were sitting together playing mahjong.

This mahjong was passed down from the hands of the old concubines who came out of the Leng Palace. According to those old concubines, the method of playing mahjong was thought up by Concubine Leng. In the past, Concubine Leng often played with them in the Leng Palace. Mahjong pastime.

This mahjong spread among the people and became a pastime for ladies in the back house.

When ladies hold flower-viewing banquets at home, they also enjoy tea and flowers in the morning, and sit around and play mahjong in the afternoon.

When it was Lu Mei's birthday, her mother knew that the emperor did not enter the harem, and she was bored in the harem, so she sent a pair of mahjong made of white jade into the palace as a birthday gift for her, so that she could play mahjong with the maids in the palace for fun. To pass the time.

She learned how to fight with the maids in her palace, and she felt that it was boring to fight with the maids in her palace. As the master, it was not easy to win the money from the maids, but she felt that it was boring without fighting for money, so she roped in Bai Jieyu and Qu Cairen. Have fun together.

After the two learned it, they also fell in love with this pastime that uses both hands and brains. The three of them became mahjong partners, playing mahjong together.

Today I will fight in your palace, tomorrow I will fight in my palace, and the day after tomorrow I will fight in her palace. Whoever fights in the palace will eat in that palace. Sometimes the fight is late and if you don’t want to go back, just stay here. We slept together next time.

Therefore, the relationship between the three of them has become deeper and deeper because of mahjong, and they do everything together. The days of being left out in the palace seem not to be so difficult anymore.

The reason why I dressed up and played in the imperial garden today was because it was more convenient to welcome the emperor, Concubine Leng and the young prince who returned to the palace today.

"Find out the cards and give me money." Bai Jieyu poured down the cards and opened her palms to Qu Cai and Lu Meiren.

Qu Cairen stared at the cards in front of her to make sure that she was indeed clear about it, and then he grabbed two golden melon seeds from the box containing golden melon seeds and placed them in her palm.

"You're so lucky today, aren't you? How many have you touched?" Lu Meiren also touched three golden melon seeds and placed them in her palm.

Bai Jieyu happily put the golden melon seeds into the small box on the right, shuffled the cards very proudly and said, "How can I remember this?"

She couldn't remember it, but the palace maid next to her remembered it for her, "We Jieyu touched five guns ourselves, Qu Cairen fired two cannons, and Lu Renren fired one bar."

Lu Meiren took a deep breath, "Don't mention it, I feel heartbroken when I mention that bar."

She was so good at concealing her hand that she could still collect money even if she didn't mess with her cards. Little did she know that Bai Jieyu would mess up when the jackpot on the table was played. Not only did she lose her money, but she also suffered a blow. big.

While shuffling the cards, Qu Cairen wondered: "In the past, your luck was the worst. Every time you didn't lose a box of golden melon seeds, you would lose half a box. Why is your luck so good today?"

Bai Jieyu shook her head happily, "I don't know, maybe it's Concubine Leng and the young prince who are trying to please me. They are coming back today, so my luck will be better." She said half-jokingly.

She just said it jokingly, but Qu Cairen took it seriously and said while making cards: "Maybe it's really Concubine Leng or the little prince Wang you. You are a horse, Concubine Leng is a sheep, and the sheep is prosperous with the horse." , it should be Concubine Leng who wants you."

Lu Meiren also said: "It seems that Concubine Leng really wants you."

Bai Jieyu smiled and said: "If Concubine Leng really wants me, then she is back. You should be careful when you play cards with me in the future."

As she spoke, she grabbed the dice in the middle of the table and threw the number.

The three of them were not worried or unhappy when they mentioned Concubine Leng's return. In the past two years, the emperor had never set foot in the harem. When he did, it was to sit in Lengxiang Palace and miss Concubine Leng and the young prince.

Even if these people came forward, the emperor would not take a second look.In the past two years, I didn’t think about how to compete for favor or how to please the emperor. I played mahjong with the other two sisters every day, listened to the palace people talk about interesting things that happened outside the palace, ate and drank together, and occasionally slept together, like little girls who had not left the palace. My daughter also talks at night.

The three of them calmed down and understood that no matter what, they were all women who were not liked by the emperor.

It is useless to argue or fight with others. The emperor will not look at them twice because of this, but it will make himself uncomfortable.

So they also looked away, whether the emperor favored them or not, without the emperor's favor, they would have spent their whole lives playing mahjong in the palace.

Therefore, when faced with Concubine Leng's return, they did not react as strongly as Concubine Li.

I even think it's a good thing that Concubine Leng is back. The harem will be more lively now that she's back.

Moreover, they also saw that Concubine Leng was a person who would not offend others unless they offended her. As long as you did not take the initiative to provoke her, she would not target or suppress anyone.

The Emperor likes Concubine Leng so much. When she returns to the palace, he will probably be the queen again. Living under her will be easier than living under the concubine Li.

Li Bin looks dignified and virtuous, doing everything according to the rules and being impartial, but in fact she is the smallest-minded, the most vindictive, and very scheming.

Bai Jieyu had some issues with her before. In the past two years, the food in her palace was worse than that in Lu Meiren's palace.

Usually when I meet Li Bin, I always put on airs and find some excuse to scold her.

A high-ranking official is overwhelming, and so is a concubine in the harem, not to mention she is in charge of the harem, so Bai Jieyu can only endure it.

She also expressed her kindness to Li Bin, complimented her on her good skin and complexion, and asked her what beauty products she used.

Li Bin told her to go to bed early, and she tried it, but it didn't work.

Li Bin is still targeting her.

Bai Jieyu became very angry several times. When she was angry in the palace, she even said: "If Concubine Leng is here, how can Yunli take charge of the harem?"

Therefore, Bai Jieyu was even looking forward to Concubine Leng's return. Once she came back, nothing would happen to Yunli.

The power of controlling the harem was not in her hands, and seeing the emperor being affectionate with Concubine Leng every day would make her angry to death.

After all, in this harem, she is the one who cares about the emperor the most and loves the emperor the most.

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Meiren said while grabbing the cards, "I'm just giving you dozens of golden melon seeds. It's not like you can't afford to lose. Concubine Leng can also play mahjong. Maybe we can get Concubine Leng to join us. Let's play mahjong, so that we can have all the cards together, so we don't have to play three or one."

Qu Meiren jumped a card and inserted it into the middle of the cards she had coded, "Can Concubine Leng fight with us?"

"If you don't beat the Yaoji twice, you will suffer, Yaoji." Bai Jieyu threw a Yaoji on the card table, "Let's invite her when the time comes. If she doesn't want to play with us, we will return ours." Fighting three shorts and one, our combination of three shorts and one will never be dismantled anyway."

Hearing this, Lu Mei and Qu Cairen smiled alike. No matter what happens when Concubine Leng comes back, the relationship between the three sisters will not change.
