This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 136: Chun Changzai took advantage of the situation

Seeing Concubine Hua being so arrogant, Concubine Qi couldn't help but curl her lips. Forget it, as long as there is someone to play cards with her, it doesn't matter if she indulges Concubine Hua's bad temper.

During all the time she had been in the Old Summer Palace, Concubine Qi had not yet been able to organize a card game.

Yesterday, I happened to meet Chun Changzai catching cicadas in Changchun Garden. I acted like a concubine and scolded her, which frightened Chun Changzai so much that she agreed to come to my palace today to apologize.

"Sister Qi Fei, how is Third Prince's study going?" Hua Fei said as she played a Nine Tong card.

The set of mahjong that Concubine Qi used today was the one given to her by Concubine Hua. It was cold to the touch and not easy to make one salivate. It was obvious that Concubine Qi liked it very much.

"Bump." Concubine Qi had already bumped three cards in a row. It was not yet Concubine Chun's turn to play a card since the start of this round. This gave Concubine Chun time to sort out the cards.

"The Emperor asked about the Third Prince's homework yesterday, and he even praised his good handwriting." Even when playing cards, Concubine Qi did not forget to show off the Third Prince.

The Emperor praised the Third Prince for his good handwriting, which means he is not well-educated.

"Speaking of it, the children of officials in the previous dynasties studied together in the Imperial College with dozens of students. With competition every day, their academic progress was more obvious."

Concubine Hua looked at Fang Chunyi opposite her calmly.

She was seen frowning and pursing her lips at her own cards. She held two cards in her hand, not knowing which one to play. She stretched her head to look at the middle of the table.

I guess Fang Chunyi didn't understand the implication of my words.

"Your Highness, what you said is true. It's time for Linglong to go to school. I want to pick a few daughters of former officials to study with her. Maybe with the influence of the ladies from noble families, she can control her wild nature. What do you think?"

Xin Chang was listening to what Hua Fei said and joined in.

Concubine Hua: Then it is more likely that the lady from a noble family was led astray by Linglong.

"Yes, if there is a person of equal ability as a companion while studying, the child will benefit more. However, I have never given birth, so I am not as insightful as Sister Qifei. I am sorry for my words."

Hua Fei looked at the cards and casually threw out a fifty thousand.

"Did I win?" Chun Changzai suddenly woke up as if from a dream. She grabbed the 50,000 that Hua Fei threw away and stuck it in the card where she was only missing one more 50,000. It turned out to be a win of 50,000.

"Thank you, sisters. Hehehe." Chun Changzai's little face was full of smiles, and her eyes were sparkling.

Concubine Qi was about to win this time, but she couldn't help but get distracted when she heard Concubine Hua and Xin Chang talking to each other.

Although the Emperor praised the Third Prince for his good handwriting yesterday, he also criticized him for not making any progress in his studies. This made Concubine Qi so worried that she couldn't even enjoy her dinner that night.

Listening to Concubine Hua's nonsense today, I found that it made some sense.

I was just distracted for a moment, and Chun Changzai took advantage of the opportunity.

No, we have to cheer up and turn the game around.

"Come again! Come again!"

Concubine Qi was worried about the Third Prince's homework and was thinking about who would be the most suitable study partner for him. After playing several rounds of mahjong, she was defeated miserably every time.

Concubine Hua and Xin Chang looked at each other and noticed that Concubine Qi was absent-minded, so they both smiled slightly.

On the contrary, Chun Changzai seemed to have the aura of a novice, winning eight games in a row and killing everyone in his way.

Whatever you wish for will come true. Chun Changzai gradually realized the joy of mahjong. This was one of the only two happy things that made her happy since she entered the palace. The first happiness was of course eating.

"Tired, tired." Xin Changzai looked at Concubine Qi's absent-minded look. Just as Chun Changzai rolled up her sleeves to start the next card game, she pushed the cards in front of her and said, "I didn't win a single hand this morning. I'm not lucky today. I'll continue another day. I have to go back to see where Linglong is playing again."

"In that case, I will go back to Qingliang Terrace first." Concubine Hua took the armor handed to her by Songzhi and put it on one by one.

Concubine Qi no longer had the heart to continue playing around. She had to think about how to help the Third Prince make further progress in his studies.

Should I go and discuss this with Her Majesty the Queen?

Therefore, when Concubine Hua, Concubine Xin, and Concubine Chun left, Concubine Qi did not stop them, but just said that they would meet again when they returned to the palace.

When Concubine Hua saw the anxiety on Concubine Qi's face, her heart softened again.

Ever since Concubine Hua stopped paying attention to the Emperor, her heart has become soft.

Concubine Qi's motherly heart is just like all mothers in the world who hope their children can become successful. In the previous life, after I passed away, Concubine Qi and the Third Prince should have lived a good life.

When Concubine Qi saw Concubine Hua and the other two walking away, she asked the palace maids to carefully put away the mahjong, and she took Jixiang to Taohuawu.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time for lunch. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to go to see the Queen now? After lunch, the Queen is used to taking a nap. It would be better for Your Majesty to have lunch and rest for a while in the palace, and then I will accompany Your Majesty to Taohuawu." Cuiguo looked at the time and felt that it would be a bit abrupt for her master to go at this time.

Moreover, the Empress will only urge Concubine Qi to let the Third Prince compete for favor in front of the Emperor. She will never really plan for the Third Prince.

The master just couldn't see through this and was blinded by a can of New Year's Longjing tea.

"It's okay. The Third Prince's studies cannot be delayed. We just need to hurry up and arrive before the Empress has her meal."

Concubine Qi became anxious when she thought about the Third Prince's homework. The teacher who taught the Third Prince yesterday just shook his head and sighed without saying a word, which severely stimulated Concubine Qi's brain.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Concubine Qi, Cuiguo could only hold an umbrella and walk out with Concubine Qi.

On the way to Taohuawu, Concubine Qi heard the sound of reading coming from behind the rockery.

"It was the six kingdoms that destroyed them, not Qin..."

Wasn't this the "Six Kingdoms Theory" that the Emperor tested the Third Prince on yesterday? The Third Prince's answer was stammering, and the Emperor was very dissatisfied.

Nowadays, there are people who can recite it so fluently.

"Cuiguo, listen, who is reciting the text?" Concubine Qi stopped her hurried steps.

Cuiguo also carefully distinguished the direction from which the sound of reading came.

"My lady, it seems to be behind the rockery."

Cuiguo helped Concubine Qi walk to the rockery, pushed aside the leaves, and saw a small figure sitting upright on a stone, holding a book and reading aloud.

Fortunately, it turns out that it’s about reading, not memorizing.

Concubine Qi looked at the Fourth Prince's back and felt a subtle sense of balance in her heart.

She said, how could the Fourth Prince recite the book so fluently when the Third Prince hadn’t even memorized it yet?

Everyone knows how to read. Even though she is a woman in the deep palace, she can read fluently by reading from the book.

However, when Concubine Qi looked at the Fourth Prince's back as he studied seriously, an idea vaguely came to her mind.
