Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

The leaf tiles of the Daxi Dynasty are a kind of game tile between Ma Diao and modern mahjong.

The size is larger than modern mahjong, about three fingers wide and five fingers long.

The various suits matched above, each suit represents a card face.

It is said that folk leaf cards are mostly made of wood chips, while those of noble families use polished jade.

There is a set of leaf cards polished from fine jade in Cining Palace.

When Ruan Qing came over and saw this thing, he was quite curious and played with it several times.

After studying the gameplay of leaf cards in this era, I felt that it was too monotonous and not interesting.

She simply selected a few pieces of jade that were not very valuable, painted them with modern mahjong patterns and sizes, and had two decks of tiles polished out.

The craftsman responsible for the production spent more than half a month and just delivered two decks of cards the day before yesterday.

Ruan Qing was planning to find someone to try his hand at, but he was busy these two days and had no time.

Now that the emperor's concubines are here, let them try their hand.

Once they learn how to do it and have some entertainment, they probably won't focus all their attention on the emperor in the future.

Ruan Qing doesn't like playing mahjong, but she knows how attractive it is to people.

In the era of information explosion in later generations, countless men and women squatted on the mahjong table but could not move their legs.

In this ancient time when there were no entertainment activities, as long as they learned how to play, not many people would be able to give up.

Ruan Qing asked someone to bring over two leaf cards, ordered two more tables, poured the cards on the table, and called to the girls: "Come and see if these leaf cards are not the same as the ones you played before. Same?"

"It's really different. The colors are completely different. It's a little smaller than the previous leaf cards, but it obviously feels more comfortable in the hand."

Concubine Li Shu picked one up, rubbed it in her hand for a while, and said.

The other four people looked at the cards on the table with curiosity on their faces.

"There are indeed some differences. The Aijia specially made them. The previous leaf cards were too big and it was not convenient to place them on the table.

The improved version of leaf tiles was given a new name by Aijia, called Mahjong. It is very convenient to shuffle and code the tiles.

The gameplay is also more interesting than the previous leaf cards. Let me first tell you how to identify the suits on the cards.

I don’t need to explain the cards with words on them. You all know them. This one is called fortune and this one is called whiteboard.

The one with dots on it is called a tube, one dot is called a tube, and so on, nine dots are called nine tubes.

The pattern above is made of vertical strips, one strip is called one...and nine strips are called nine strips. "

Ruan Qing pointed to the signs on the table and introduced them to the concubines in detail one by one.

"It looks very interesting, how to play it specifically?" The curiosity of the concubines was aroused.

Que Qi, Liang Fan and others were also attracted, and their eyes unconsciously drifted to Mahjong.

“Similar to leaf cards, four people play a deck of cards.

The five of you, plus the six from the Ai family, and Jiang Yuan and Que get up to add up, there will be exactly two tables.

Concubine Wang, Li Zhaoyi, Jiang Yuan and Ai Jia were at the same table.

Concubine Yu Xian, Concubine Liang Shu, Xiao Jieyu, how about you three getting together at the same table?" Ruan Qing asked.

"We have no objection." Everyone named was eager to give it a try.

Ruan Qing explained the rules of playing cards and how many cards each person would play, and then sat down in his seat.

People at both tables shuffle and deal the cards at the same time.

After the cards were dealt, Ruan Qing ran to another table and took a look. Everyone had thirteen cards, and there was nothing wrong.

She showed the first person how to get out. After a circle, everyone was a little confused, but they didn't make any big mistakes and returned to their seats.

After five or six rounds, Liang Shufei played a card, shouted: "What a fool," and then pushed it on the card table in her hand.

Ruan Qing came over to take a look and found that she was fried.

"You're usually very smart, but why are you so confused at the card table?" Ruan Qing gave her a funny slap.

When the girls heard this, they burst into laughter and picked up the notes they had prepared in advance and stuck them on her face.

It’s my first time to play and I’m not familiar with it. Ruan Qing doesn’t recommend betting money. If you lose, you’ll put a note on your face.

"It's just the beginning. I'm not familiar with it yet. If I play a few more times, I won't make any more mistakes." Queqi protested, rubbing his head.

In the first few cards, each table has some conditions.

After a few laps, you will gradually become familiar with it and everyone will be able to deal with it freely.

My interest was completely piqued, and the afternoon passed before I knew it.

It was getting dark, but everyone was reluctant to leave after they had just mastered mahjong.

"Why don't you all stay at Cining Palace tonight? We can just eat the pot together, light candles and play a few rounds after eating." Seeing this, Ruan Qing couldn't help but start to confuse.

I have been here for more than a month. It gets dark every day and I go to bed after dinner. The days are really dull.

Could it be that if we encounter such an opportunity, we might as well take the little girls and stay up all night together.

Speaking of which, these little girls are quite pitiful. They are all in their teens and are as young as a flower.

Entering the palace gate is like entering a cage. If you shrink into this small space every day, you will easily get sick even if you are not sick.

Otherwise, how could there be so many secrets in the palace? It’s not all held back.

"Would it disturb the Queen Mother too much?" All the girls were a little moved when they heard this.

"What are you disturbing? More people can talk to the Ai family. It's not too late for the Ai family to be happy.

It's getting late, let's have dinner first, let's finish the pot, eat, and then play a few rounds of mahjong. Ruan Qing said with a smile.

In the former dynasty, in the royal study.

The emperor took the form made by Liang Fan and returned to the imperial study, and hurriedly sent someone to find Cui Zhiqing, the Minister of Household Affairs.

After Cui Zhiqing understood the meaning and usage of the numbers on the form, he invited several accountants from the household department who were good at accounting.

The monarch and his ministers spent the entire afternoon studying in the royal study.

I circled all the questions I didn’t understand and prepared to go to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother tomorrow.

When I finished my work, I found that it was almost dark.

"Cui Shangshu, it's getting late. You should go back quickly. You don't have to come so early for the morning meeting tomorrow." Xie Huaijin took a look at the sky and said hurriedly.

After sending Cui Shangshu away, he happened to meet Dr. Hu who came to diagnose his pulse.

Xie Huaijin simply asked him to teach her how to play Ba Duan Jin once. After that, she had a dinner and felt very energetic.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to Qianqing Palace to rest?" Zhang Yu, the chief eunuch serving beside him, asked.

"Let's go to Jade Palace. I haven't seen the imperial concubine in a while." Xie Huaijin thought for a while and said.

As a result, when he arrived at the Jade Palace, he was told by the palace staff that the concubine Wang Guifei was not in the palace.

"If she's not in the palace, where has she been? I didn't hear that she wants to leave the palace today?" Xie Huaijin looked surprised.

"I'm going to Cining Palace. Not long ago, a eunuch came to tell me that the imperial concubine is resting with the Queen Mother tonight." The palace man replied.

Xie Huaijin...

When did the relationship between the imperial concubine and her mother become so good that she could stay overnight in Cining Palace at will?

The emperor complained silently in his heart.

The imperial concubine was not here, and the emperor, who had not been close to his concubine for more than ten days, did not intend to just go back home.

Instead, he turned around and went to Qingyao Palace, the residence of Concubine Liang Shu. After arriving, he was also told that Concubine Shu would stay at Cining Palace tonight.

Xie Huaijin...

Could it be that all my concubines went to the mother's harem to spend the night? He didn't believe in evil and visited all the five concubines' palaces.

The result is that people stay in Cining Palace.

"Your Majesty, should we go back or go to Cining Palace?" Zhang Yu asked cautiously.

"Go back to Qianqing Palace." Xie Huaijin held her forehead and smiled bitterly.

He has been very busy recently, neglecting his concubines for more than ten days.

Today he finally got into the mood and ran to the harem, only to be told that all his concubines had gone to stay in his mother's harem.
