The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

When Changning first explained the rules, the girls were still a little confused, but after a few rounds they all roughly understood it.

Of course, what we understand by this is how to skillfully feed cards and water to Changning.

This is a compulsory course for being a slave.

Of course it's not to let the master win from the beginning to the end, that would be too unrealistic, but it also makes Changning's luck super good, and whatever cards he wants will come true.

Soon, Changning's front was piled with melon seeds.

"Hahaha, are you guys doing this on purpose? I've already told you that this is the last time you'll use melon seeds, and next time you'll have to use copper coins. If you let me win then, be careful or you'll lose all your monthly allowance!" Changning was beaming with joy, looking very proud.

She has been playing mahjong for so many years, so she can see through their little thoughts. But it does feel good to be pampered and win all the time, haha.

The maids all laughed. Zhui Yu scratched his head and said, "Master, I really didn't mean to let you go!"

Chang Ning looked at her simple-minded appearance and sighed: "I understand, Dachun, you are still not suitable for studying."

"Ah?" Zhui Yu was even more confused.

However, only Changning understood the joke, and she laughed twice.

A new round started, and this time it was indeed much more difficult, but Changning still won more and lost less. After all, she had practiced mahjong skills for several years and knew all the formulas by heart.

Apart from Changning, Chuixue was indeed more powerful. She won the most, but they were all chasing raindrops. She was the worst. She lost a month's salary that day, and a big blister appeared on her mouth. Changning was amused and distressed at the same time.

When Yinzhen came back, he heard laughter and clattering sounds in the room. When he entered, he saw them playing cards. There was silver in front of Yaoxian, and her face was beaming with smiles. It was obvious that she had won a lot.

"Oh, you're lucky?" Yinzhen didn't scold them for being disrespectful and not following the rules. It would be boring to follow the rules when playing, not to mention that he never followed the rules here with Yaoxian.

Su Peisheng, who had been busy outside with the prince all day, was already feeling dizzy and tired. But when he accompanied the prince back to the main courtyard, he saw the concubine and several maids having fun, and he couldn't help but sigh.

If only he were a girl, it would be such a blessing to serve the lady!

Seeing the prince coming back, several maids stood up and left their seats. Changning was also tired from playing, so he simply asked them to clear the table. He walked up to him, hugged his arm, and said with a smile: "I'm so lucky, I won the most!"

Yinzhen found it funny to see her smug look. If she had a big tail behind her butt, it would definitely be shaking now, just like Tuantuan.

"This pastime is quite novel and looks quite good. What is it called?"

Changning turned his head and looked at him: "It's called Mahjong."

"Mahjong?" Yinzhen frowned and asked, "What's the meaning?"

"Forehead……"

What’s the meaning?

Changning said he didn't know.

Yinzhen wanted to change the name, but he thought that since it was something that Yaoxian came up with herself, he should not spoil her fun, so he praised her: "This is a good name. When the time comes, you can carve a better one out of jade or ivory and present it to the queen. The queen will be lonely in the palace, so it will be a good pastime."

Chang Ning nodded, and seeing that he looked tired, he massaged his shoulders and asked, "Have you had your meal?"

Yinzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't have time. The emperor is seriously ill, and I have to take care of all matters, big and small. I'd better hurry back to pack my things today. I may have to live in the palace starting tomorrow."

Changning thought that Kangxi might be in trouble this time.

However, when she heard that he hadn't eaten yet and saw that Su Peisheng was also starving, she knew that they had wasted the whole day in the palace and must have not eaten anything, and it was very tiring and physically demanding. She hurriedly asked Eunuch Ma to bring up a few more bowls of the meal she had ordered in the afternoon.

Yinzhen took this time to wash up, and Su Peisheng also went downstairs to tell people to pack their luggage. He wanted to find some snacks to eat when he had time. But when he was hiding in the tea room, he suddenly saw Zhao Fuhai come in with a smile on his face.

"Eunuch Su, Fu Jin has already ordered people to prepare the prince's luggage. Would you like to rest for a while? I have prepared some food for you. Eunuch Ma spent several hours stewing the braised beef in soy sauce this afternoon. It is still hot."

Su Peisheng quickly swallowed the snack that was choking in his throat and returned a smile, as if he had met his own brother.

"That's great. Thank you for your help, Brother Zhao."

The two eunuchs with the highest status in Prince Yong's mansion were walking together arm in arm and heading towards the small room at the back.

After washing, Yinzhen felt hungry. It turned out that he had been hungry for a long time. In the palace, he could only be the expressionless Prince Yong. Only with Yaoxian could he relax and occasionally reveal an expression that he would not show even when he was alone.

He came out and smelled the meal, feeling even hungrier.

But there were only two large bowls on the table, which looked like a particularly rich bowl of noodles.

After Yinzhen sat down, he saw the soup, which was red with white, with two spoonfuls of sesame paste and chili oil poured on it. It smelled spicy and it looked really appetizing.

He picked up the chopsticks and saw chicken, beef, fish balls, sea cucumbers, shrimps, mushrooms, ham, potato chips, vegetables, etc. At the moment, he couldn't count how many kinds of ingredients there were.

The noodles are made of yellow cornmeal, and there are also slightly thicker, rounder and chewier noodles. Yaoxian said that this is called beef tendon noodles.

I picked up the noodles with chopsticks and took a sip. It seemed as if all the fatigue of the past few days was cured by this mouthful of numb, spicy and hot noodles.

"Is this the new noodle dish you came up with?" Yinzhen ate with relish.

Chang Ning also picked up a chopstick of noodles, and then ate some kelp shreds before answering him: "This is called Malatang, how is it? Isn't it very appropriate?"

Yinzhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded. It was indeed quite powerful.

"You should also try the noodle soup, which is made with milk." Changning scooped up a spoonful of the soup with a spoon. It was thick, salty and fragrant, and tasted particularly satisfying. Especially with the aroma of sesame paste, he loved it even more.

Yinzhen also liked to eat sesame paste, and he followed her example and scooped a spoonful of soup. Soon, the two of them finished all the dishes, noodles and soup.

After eating, he realized that he was a little full.

Such a large bowl is five or six times bigger than ordinary bowls. Eating so much goes against his rule of eating less, frugally and keeping fit, but... never mind, he enjoyed the meal very much.

"The set meals are the freshest at this time of year. How about having spring rolls tomorrow morning?" Changning patted his stomach and began to plan tomorrow's meal.

Yinzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No wonder people say that a land of gentleness is a place where people will never want to leave. In this little paradise, there seemed to be no disturbance at all. There was only inner peace and tranquility. How could one bear to leave?
