I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Zhao Yuan's face was as black as a potcake. He could only take a deep breath, adjust his state, tidy up his clothes, and sit upright.

Click...

"Your Highness?" Mu Xueli said in surprise.

"I didn't expect that Your Highness would be here with Sister Lin. What a coincidence! I just got some beautiful flower patterns and wanted to share them with Sister Lin. Please come over and give us some reference!" Mu Xueli said with a smile, and waved for Xiangling to bring the basket over.

"Thank you, sister. I was just worried about it! Green tea, tea from branches and leaves." Lin Yan smiled in her heart and cooperated very well.

Although Mu Xueli hated Lin Yan, she felt that Lin Yan was quite well behaved at this moment.

Xiang Ling finally got the chance to show her face in front of the prince. Her steps were like lotus flowers and her twisting waist was extremely charming.

Lin Yan was instantly attracted by Xiang Ling's actions, and was amazed in her heart that Zhao Yuan, this big stud, could actually attract Xiang Ling.

My decision to stay away from him was indeed a wise one.

Mu Xueli kept her eyes on Lin Yan and ignored Xiang Ling's behavior.

"Sister, you came at the right time. My taste is not that good. Please don't laugh at me when the time comes." Lin Yan responded with a smile.

Zhao Yuan complained in his heart with a dark face: "It's not just the right time, it's the exact time."

Suddenly I felt that there were too many women in the backyard, and it would be quite troublesome to deal with them.

If two women are arguing, it would be fun to be the referee.

But the two women in front of him were simply the epitome of not playing by the rules. They were blushing in the morning, but at night, they immediately became as close and affectionate as good sisters.

From this perspective, Mu Xueli is a woman of extraordinary bearing.

Xiang Ling took out the flower and handed it to Lin Yan gently, giving Lin Yan an illusion.

"Sister, take your time to look at it. If you like any of it, you can keep it. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, tell me and I'll ask Xiangling to change it." Mu Xueli said gently, and then looked towards Zhao Yuan with a look of infatuation.

Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at the flower patterns, flipping through them one by one. She would spend a long time looking at each one and evaluating each petal for a while. In fact, these flower patterns were just a few commonly used ones that Xiang Ling had put in.

The room suddenly became unusually quiet, with only the sound of teacups hitting tea lids being heard.

Lin Yan finally finished reading, but Zhao Yuan still had no intention of leaving. If possible, she would like to leave. This Mu Xueli is really useless. Even after cooperating to this extent, she still couldn't abduct Zhao Yuan. She didn't even have the power of Aunt Xie's second level.

It would be nice if Aunt Xie and Aunt Miao came over. She wouldn't mind taking out the cards and playing all night.

Xie Miao and the other two didn't want to come at first, but before Mu Xueli came, she was very bold like the mistress of the house and asked the maid to notify them to come to Aunt Lin's place.

Xie Miao and the other two had a brief discussion and came over obediently. They would rather offend Lin Yan than offend the princess. After all, they would have to visit her every morning and evening and make a living under the princess.

They don't have Lin Yan's courage, nor do they have the prince's absolute favor, so they openly compete with the princess to make the final decision.

"Sister Lin..." The voices of Xie Miao and the others rang out in the yard from far away.

Lin Yan laughed and came over as soon as she thought of them.

Although there are a lot of people playing Landlord, one against four is just right. Zhao Yuan, don't you like to enjoy the beauty of all the people? It's just right for you to feel it. There is no hierarchy at the card table, only winning and losing.

"My two sisters are here too, welcome, welcome!" Lin Yan put aside her fancy looks and stood up to greet them.

Zhao Yuan's face almost turned as black as a potcake. He never thought that Lin Yan had achieved such a high position in his palace.

It's really hard to understand how she did it. No wonder she dared to ask for the position of princess.

He could have easily asked to chase them away, but he didn't. With so many women gathered together, how would Lin Yan regulate the relationships between them?

When Xie Miao and the others came in through the curtain, they saw Zhao Yuan sitting in the main seat. They felt guilty and wanted to back out. If they offended the prince, their lives would be more miserable than if they offended the princess. Since they were already here, they should do what they should do first. They must not let anyone find fault with the etiquette.

"Your Highness!" They all bowed in unison.

"Well! You guys are not sleeping at all late at night and gather here with Aunt Lin. What do you want to do?" Zhao Yuan's voice was as cold as ice, his eyes were like swords, his hands were on the back of the chair without any extra movements, but it made people shudder.

Xie Miao and the other man touched elbows with each other. They really didn't know how to answer! Telling the truth would offend people, and telling lies would also offend people.

The princess and Lin Yan are in opposition in the Rui Palace. Their strength is equal at present, and they cannot afford to offend either side.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "We usually like to get together to play poker. I just happened to think of a new way to play. I'll teach you all. I guarantee you'll have a blast playing!"

Xie Miao and the other man gave Lin Yan a glance of gratitude.

Mu Xueli looked over with disdain. She had originally wanted to use this opportunity to teach those two a lesson, but she had not expected that Lin Yan would really not play by the rules. In front of the prince, she dared to speak so presumptuously.

"Oh! Poker! What kind of new toy is it? This is the first time I heard of it today!" Zhao Yuan became interested. It was so strange that Lin Yan and Lao Shisan didn't use it to make money to play such a new game.

"Green tea, bring me my playing cards!" Lin Yan ordered with a smile.

"In fact, not only do we know how to play, but the Thirteenth Prince also knows how to play. There are many ways to play this card game, with two, three, four, five, six, or seven people. Today I want to teach you a way to play Landlord?"

"Why do we have to fight Landlord?" Zhao Yuan was extremely puzzled.

Lin Yan suddenly remembered that in this era, class status was clearly defined, and landlords were one of the power classes. We have to put it another way.

"It's just a name. It doesn't have much meaning. If you think this name doesn't sound good, you can change it to Fight Bandits."

"Oh!" Zhao Yuan pondered for a while. He didn't expect that Lin Yan had such thoughts deep in her heart, but there were other people present, so he decided to bury this doubt in his heart.

Lin Yan had no idea that the name of her game actually made Zhao Yuan think of so many things.

Green Tea handed over the poker.

“Let me tell you the rules first.”

"I have two decks of cards here, each with 54 cards, from 1 to 13, four groups of black, red, plum and square. One of them is a bandit, and the other four are peddlers. The two sides will fight, and the one who plays all the cards first will win. Let me talk about the size of the cards. Usually, 1 is smaller than 2, and three is the smallest..., this same number is a bomb, which can hit the king or the king...."

"That sounds quite interesting!" Zhao Yuan and everyone present were immediately attracted. The atmosphere, which was a bit awkward just now, became harmonious with Lin Yan's explanation.

"Of course, there are also prizes in playing this..."

……

Xie Miao and the other two were already veterans, and Mu Xueli listened quietly and became interested, especially when she heard the prize at the end, the corners of her mouth rose playfully. "Fighting bandits..."

"You haven't played the first three games yet, so let's play a few to get familiar with it. We'll start setting up prizes for the fourth game. What do you think?" After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan took the card in his hand and looked at it again and again, then put it in Lin Yan's hand. He also took the opportunity to scratch her palm with the tip of his little finger, clearly hooking it.

This means we agree to play a few games.

Lin Yan's heart trembled: "It's right to keep everyone here to play together. We must unite with Xie Miao and the other two to get the money out of Zhao Yuan's pocket."

"Princess, what do you think?" Lin Yan turned her head to Mu Xueli again.

"It sounds interesting. I have no objection!" Mu Xueli smiled. Her goal was to disrupt the alone time of Zhao Yuan and Lin Yan. If she achieved her goal, she could also win some pocket money. Why not!

“But I still want to emphasize one point. There is no hierarchy in the casino. You have to accept the consequences if you lose. Once you touch the cards, you are not allowed to withdraw midway, otherwise you will be compensated four times as much.” Lin Yan immediately turned into the big sister of the casino, saying the softest words and doing the cruelest things.

"Yes! I don't have my monthly allowance for this month, so I'll just watch you play from the side." Miao Yinhua immediately became a little timid. She knew Lin Yan's gambling skills very well. She could always beat them and win all their money every time.

Xie Liuxu frowned. If he quit like Miao Yinhua, he would definitely offend Lin Yan. After thinking for a while, he said, "I am just a foil. I don't have much private money. I am just here to have fun with everyone. I won't come again if I lose all my money."

Mu Xueli glanced at Miao Yinhua with contempt. She was not to be feared. But Xie Liuxu was quite interesting. He was trying hard to support Lin Yan. However, it was better to have more people than fewer, so she could use them to her advantage.

"Very good, let's start now!" Lin Yan smiled at Xie Liuxu in a friendly manner.

Zhao Yuan put his hands on his knees and sat in his seat majestically. He thought that his gambling skills were better than those of the women present, and it would be easy for him to beat them.

The three warm-up games passed quickly.

Zhao Yuan discovered that fighting bandits was not that easy. It required extremely high IQ and psychological qualities.

If you want to know your opponent's cards, you usually try to judge from their expression, but the three women participating in the card game are all masters of acting.

Casino veteran Zhao Yuan was unexpectedly ganged up on by three idiots who took money out of his pocket.

Xie Liuxu had never thought that there would be a day when she could win money, and from the prince. She was a little nervous at first, but when she looked at Lin Yan and Mu Xueli, she felt that they had made too little, so she felt at ease when she put the money into her pocket.

Miao Yinhua, who was watching the game from the side, felt a little regretful. She could only watch piles of silver go into the pockets of the other three people. She regretted it so much that she should have participated earlier.

Zhao Yuan found out that he had lost a huge sum of one thousand taels in just one hour. He was the first to leave the table and flee from Xianyue Courtyard.

Never before had the three women stood up in such tacit understanding to see him off.

Zhao Yuan's departure instantly made the atmosphere in the room solemn, and everyone's minds began to become active again.

Mu Xueli looked at Lin Yan's nose, which was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes. The more she looked, the more upset she became. She felt that this woman was really ignorant. It was already this late, but she still didn't leave. She completely forgot that she was in someone else's yard.

"Do you want to continue playing?" Xie Liuxu asked to break the deadlock.

"It's already this late, let's stop playing, take a shower and go to bed!" Lin Yan waved her hands. Not only was she completely out of trouble, but she also had several hundred taels in her pocket, so she could have a good sleep now.

"Green tea, clean up!"

"Princess, aren't you sleepy yet?" Lin Yan found that Mu Xueli's butt seemed to be stuck with 502, and she sat on the stool motionless.

"I'm sleepy, hurry up and leave!"

Lin Yan finally understood that this woman had completely forgotten that she was standing on her own territory.

"Princess, this seems to be my room!" Lin Yan kindly reminded her. She never thought that just playing cards would lead to a fight between two people.

"Humph!" Mu Xueli finally reacted, but as someone who had experienced two lives, she was very thick-skinned and still had no expression on her face! "I don't want to stay in this shabby house! Xiangling, let's go!"
