After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country
Chapter 210: Can you play leaf tricks?
Lu Yujin naturally knew that Mrs. He’s identity could not be exposed, so she did not explain anything and let Lan Sheng go.
When Mrs. He came back with Zhuxue and Jusheng, they were already sitting and talking.
Of course, basically, it was the Queen Mother and An Ning who were talking.
Qi Wuyou was listening at the side and felt that the empress dowager's questions were asking this and that, as if she was trying to introduce someone to someone.
She looked at Lan Sheng, who was doing nothing but eating, and felt very disappointed.
Considering An Ning's presence, Mrs. He and Qi Wuyou did not act very intimate during the meal.
After dinner, Qi Wuyou was dragged by An Ning to play leaf play.
As for Xuan Yelan, he accompanied the Queen Mother and Madam He to drink tea and chat.
It was only when they sat down at the card table that An Ning remembered to ask the queen if she could play Ye Zi Xi. After all, this was a card game that was popular in ancient times. It would be embarrassing if the queen didn't know how to play it.
She asked cautiously, "Madam, can you play leaf games?" There was a hint of uncertainty and curiosity in her tone.
Qi Wuyou's eyes became somewhat deep, as if he was recalling something.
She said slowly: "When I first came here, I played with my sisters in the palace. Those days were really carefree..."
Her voice was filled with a hint of nostalgia and emotion.
Lianxiang had just taken a sip of tea and snacks when she heard these words. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the tea and snacks in her mouth sprayed out.
She gently wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with her hands, and smiled at everyone's inquiring gazes, saying, "Haha, look at what you said. I think you miss the time when you were making crazy money, right?"
She paused, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she glanced at An Ning meaningfully before saying, "But, that period was indeed quite fulfilling."
After all, she was there collecting the money, although the money later went into the Empress's secret piggy bank.
After saying that, she took another sip of tea, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was immersed in memories.
An Ning seemed to have discovered something, "My Lady, can you play leaf tricks?"
Lianxiang laughed and said, "Princess, to be precise, the queen herself doesn't know how to play the leaf trick, but she is very lucky!"
After saying that, she winked playfully.
An Ning didn't believe it. Finally, after Qi Wuyou lost three games in a row, An Ning asked with a bitter smile, "My queen, please show mercy!"
Lianxiang smiled softly and covered her mouth with her hands: "Princess, now you know, right? The queen's luck is really unmatched! Even if she is dealt the worst hand, she can easily defeat you."
Qi Wuyou smiled shyly and said softly, "My sisters often said that to me, but later... their money was all in my pocket."
Lianxiang smiled and shook her head, correcting her: "No, Your Majesty, you were kind enough to leave one or two taels of silver for the Concubine Shu."
Hearing this, An Ning lost her composure. She held her purse tightly and said, "Then we won't play with money."
Lan Sheng answered, "If not for money, what else can we play?"
An Ning asked the maid beside her to fetch the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and then said to everyone, "Let's play a game!"
"I'll ask you a question first, and you guess the answer. If you guess correctly, you'll get one point. The person with the highest score at the end is the winner, and they can draw on the faces of the other three people. And they're not allowed to wash their faces for a day."
She looked at everyone's curious eyes and continued, "Then I will start asking questions! The first question is, which animal has nine lives?"
"Cat!" Lan Sheng was the first to shout.
"Great!" An Ning gave Qi Wuyou a point for every point he scored. "For the second question, there is a word that everyone will mispronounce when they see it. What is it?"
Everyone was stunned, and no one spoke for a while. An Ning smiled proudly, "Announce the answer, the word 'wrong'. Hahaha, you all guessed wrong!"
"I must win this round!" Qi Wuyou competed secretly.
"For the third question, the first line is a pair of jade arms that thousands of people caress, and the second line is she tastes the sweetness and bitterness first."
Qi Wuyou thought for a moment, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, "Chopsticks."
"Wow, your Majesty is so smart!" An Ning clapped her hands and couldn't help but sigh.
In the next few rounds, the two sides fought back and forth.
In the end, Qi Wuyou won the victory with a slight advantage.
"What should I draw?" Qi Wuyou thought with his chin in his hand.
"Let's draw a little turtle!" Lan Sheng suggested.
"Okay!" Qi Wuyou picked up the pen and lightly sketched on An Ning's face.
After a while, a cute little turtle appeared on An Ning's cheek.
When others saw this, they all burst into laughter.
"I don't want to play anymore!" An Ning slammed the table, stood up, with a little anger and unwillingness on her face.
Her eyes widened, staring at the scorecard in front of her as if she wanted to burn a hole in it.
She cursed in her heart: "Really? Not only can I not win the leaf play, but I can't even win the riddle guessing game."
Qi Wuyou on the side looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
She said in a relaxed tone: "It's getting late, I have to go back to the palace. Since you don't want to play anymore, let's go our separate ways." After that, she stood up and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Qi Wuyou suddenly stopped and looked back at An Ning.
There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, An Ning, don't forget your promise."
An Ning had already stood up, but after hearing this, she sat back heavily in her chair.
Her face turned very ugly, and the little turtle sticker on her forehead looked particularly glaring.
She frowned and said to herself in annoyance, "How annoying."
Lan Sheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this. He pointed at An Ning and laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
After finally stopping his laughter, he started to joke, "Haha, An Ning, you came up with these rules yourself. You can't cheat."
An Ning rolled her eyes and glared at Lan Sheng fiercely. Then, she turned to look at Qi Wuyou and muttered, "Am I that kind of person?"
Then, she raised her chin and said proudly, "It's just a little turtle. This princess can wear it for three days."
A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Wuyou's eyes, then he raised his thumb and praised: "Okay, An Ning, you are really courageous. You said it, don't wash your face for three days." There was a hint of provocation in his tone.
After hearing this, An Ning's momentum instantly disappeared. Her expression became a little awkward, and she forced a smile and stammered to explain, "Um... I was just joking."
She secretly complained in her heart. She could bear not washing her face for one day, but how could she go out and see people if she didn't wash her face for three days!
If there was a big turtle on her head, her reputation would be completely ruined!
