Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Li Qingzhao and Liu Huiniang engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Qingzhao claimed that she had never lost at gambling.

He truly deserves the title of God of Gamblers.

By the second half, Liu Huiniang was already struggling to keep up.

"How about we switch to chess?"

"The kind of chess where the rules were changed by the government."

Li Qingzhao did not want to offend the imperial concubine.

She thought playing chess was more suitable for him.

"No need!"

Liu Huiniang, intending to bully the newbie, said with a smile,

"The officials also created a gambling game,"

"It's called Mahjong, and it's just right for the four of us."

The palace maid quickly brought the mahjong tiles.

Li Shishi sat down at the table with a smile.

Hu Sanniang was also eager to try it out.

There's really nothing fun in the palace.

It's quite rare to be able to gather enough people for a mahjong game today.

Zhao Yuan doesn't usually have that much time.

As for the palace maids and eunuchs

Haha, they always deliberately let us win.

It's really not fun to play.

Li Shishi was in charge of explaining the rules of mahjong.

Li Qingzhao understood quickly.

After playing just a few rounds, I figured out the rules of mahjong.

This guy really is the God of Gamblers.

When she wrote the preface to "The Illustrated Manual of Horse Racing"

More than twenty types of gambling games were listed.

And each one was commented on.

Not only did he claim that he had never lost,

Moreover, it summarized the essence of gambling.

In short, it boils down to two words—strive to be the best!

The prizes for the four were very small.

Pinghu only gave ten coins.

When Zhao Yuan came home from get off work

Li Qingzhao had already won several strings of cash.

This was even after she started to throw the game in the second half...

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Yuan did not have the honor guard announce the arrival of the emperor.

After dismissing his entourage, he entered the house.

The four women were about to stand up,

He smiled and said, "You can continue."

Li Shishi lost so badly she stopped calling for the Emperor and cried out for help.

"Husband, please help me fight back!"

"Let me watch a few rounds first."

Zhao Yuan stood behind Li Qingzhao.

"Haha, I won! A pure suit!"

Liu Huiniang clapped and cheered.

Zhao Yuan carefully observed Li Qingzhao's playing card.

I suspect this person is deliberately making things up.

Sure enough, the second round lasted about ten laps.

Li Qingzhao then fired another shot at Li Shishi.

Li Shishi immediately became happy.

She won't let her husband help her get revenge anymore.

With a big smile on his face, he started shuffling the mahjong tiles.

Only Liu Huiniang's card skills were slightly better.

Li Shishi and An Niang's skills

They're not as good as the old men and women in the card and chess room.

They dare to rush out no matter what kind of situation they are in.

Moreover, they don't remember or discard cards.

He also likes to talk while playing cards.

It's easy for people to guess the general hand.

However, amidst the laughter and shouts,

It's much more lively than before.

Chapter 1872 The Struggle for Virtue and Fortune

When Li Qingzhao took her leave

Li Shishi has already won back a lot.

They even took the initiative to challenge him.

"Li Daizhao, let's have another match on your day off."

"I will certainly keep my promise to the sage."

Li Qingzhao cupped her hands in greeting.

Zhao Yuan scratched his forehead.

He planned to indulge in refined pursuits with Li Qingzhao.

We talked about poetry, painting, and art.

But it seems like things have gone a bit astray.

This talented woman seems to prefer drinking and playing cards...

Zhao Yuan arranged for a carriage to take Li Qingzhao home.

The copper coins they won were exchanged for silver dollars.

Li Qingzhao sat in the carriage.

Happily counting her little money,

They decided to commission a craftsman to make a set of mahjong tiles.

This type of board game doesn't require much brainpower.

But it combines both skill and luck.

Li Qingzhao liked it very much.

Upon closer examination,

Mahjong is designed with profound meaning.

Tongzi is copper coins.

A string of coins is a hanging ornament made of copper coins.

Wanzi is also a unit of copper coins.

There are also flowers from the east, west, south, north, and so on.

Each has its own meaning.

A set of mahjong tiles is a microcosm of the myriad aspects of life.

Your Majesty was able to invent mahjong.

He truly understands the ways of the world!

.....

Li Qingzhao was summoned for the first time

It didn't attract much attention.

Because this is part of her job.

He could enter the palace a second time to play mahjong.

That makes it seem quite unusual.

At least one thing is certain:

She had an excellent relationship with the Empress and the Imperial Concubine!

The Wang family reacted the fastest.

I paid a visit with valuable gifts.

She always talks about her elder sister.

Li Qingzhao remained expressionless throughout.

It wasn't until Wang was leaving that she spoke.

"The gift is too expensive,"

"Please take it back, madam."

"We're all one family,"

"Are there different levels of importance in gift-giving?" Madam Wang said with a smile.

Li Qingzhao said, "It's best to distinguish them clearly."

The gifts were carried out directly by the servants.

The side door was quickly closed as well.

Wang stood outside the door with a cold expression.

These two cousins,

I had a good time playing with it when I was a kid.

Their relationship deteriorated to an extreme degree as they grew up.

Historically, Li Qingzhao was imprisoned for her divorce case.

She preferred to ask her ex-husband Zhao Mingcheng's cousin, Qi Chongli, for help.
