The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Keke hugged Chu Musheng and buried her head in his arms.

"I didn't say anything, Your Majesty, you didn't hear anything."

"My princess is so adorable."

Chu Musheng lifted Xu Keke's chin and kissed her gently. The more he kissed, the more ideas he had.

At this time, a cold wind blew, and Chu Musheng helped her gather the brim of her cloak.

"My dear, it's cold outside, let's go back to the room!"

"Ah."

Xu Ke obediently followed Chu Musheng into the dormitory.

The spring nights are warm but still cold.

When the curtain is lowered, a world of two is formed.

Under Chu Musheng's caress, Xu Ke quickly put aside the things that didn't need to worry her.

Share the ethics with Chu Mucheng.

......

More and more ladies are coming to the ladies' club.

What they love most is playing mahjong here.

There were no men in the club, which allowed the ladies to come with their personal maids every day without worrying about their reputation.

With so many people, we can quickly open several tables, all of which are independent private rooms.

The environment inside is comfortable, and tea, snacks and snacks are all available.

These ladies knew each other on a daily basis, and they sat together playing mahjong, chatting and laughing, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

The popularity of mahjong is hardly surprising.

When you think about the endless stream of electronic games dominating mobile phone screens in later generations, mahjong still has its place.

You can see the appeal of mahjong.

It is a game of small bets for fun. The ladies are all rich and have free time, so they will discuss how much to bet before playing.

The economic gap was also reflected at this time.

If the game is small, some wealthy ladies will feel that it is not enough to satisfy them;

When playing big, some people who are not as good as them feel quite pressured.

The female official who managed the club understood the ins and outs of this.

Different levels of card games are specially arranged to meet the needs of the ladies.

This time, Xu Ke played mahjong with Princess Fu and two noble ladies.

One of the ladies said with a smile.

"I come here to play mahjong every day. My husband is so envious and wants to come here and play mahjong with others!"

Xu Ke played mahjong without saying anything.

Men are not allowed to enter this women's club. In ancient times, women had to protect their reputation even after getting married.

Besides, several people can play mahjong together for hours.

When men and women mix, there's no guarantee that there won't be some flirtatious glances...

Another noblewoman took a different view.

"If you ask me, men should earn money and let us help them spend it. We should just have fun and not worry about whether they envy us or not."

The lady who spoke first played a card.

"That being said, we still have to take care of this man's thoughts, otherwise there will be no peace at home."

Xu Ke smiled and nodded.

"Mrs. Chen is right. We can have fun in this ladies' club, but we have to take care of the house when we get home."

Princess Fu took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Let's not talk about these annoying things and concentrate on playing cards."

Everyone responded and immersed themselves in the fun of mahjong.

After a few rounds, the situation gradually became clear.

Xu Ke was lucky, and the chips in front of him kept piling up.

The other lady frowned and seemed a little anxious.

"Why is this card so unlucky?"

She muttered.

Xu Ke can be comforted.

"Don't worry, things will change over time. Maybe your luck will change in the next round."

As he was speaking, Dingdang walked in.

"Miss, the wife of Prince Ning is here and wants to know if you are here."

Li Yueran is here? Haven't seen him for a while.

Permission to stand up.

"Dingdang, help me fight. I'm going to go talk to Sister Ran."

Xu Keke came to the reception room and saw Li Yueran wearing a loose dress.

Her belly was slightly bulging and her face was filled with a happy smile.

"Sister Ran, it's been a while since we last met. Your belly is so big now!"

Xu Keke walked up happily and held Li Yueran's hand.

Li Yueran touched her belly gently.

"But sister, I'm getting heavier and heavier. If I don't come to see you soon, it will be even more inconvenient for me to go out in the next few days."

"Look at the sweetness on your face. I think it's because Prince Ning has returned. This makes my sister feel relieved."

Xu Ke joked.

Li Yueran nodded.

"My husband has been obeying me in everything since he came back, but lately I've been craving strange and bizarre things, which has been really annoying for him."

"Sister Ran, you're here just in time. The club just made some fresh cakes today. Let's go to the tea room and try some."

As he spoke, he took Li Yueran's hand and walked into a tea room.

The tea room is decorated in a quiet and elegant style, with the aroma of tea lingering in the air.

Xu Ke asked the servants to bring up a fresh cake. The cake was exquisitely made and exuded an enticing sweet fragrance.

Li Yueran's eyes lit up, he picked up a piece and took a light bite, his face full of satisfaction.

"This cake tastes really good, but my sister always comes up with some new and delicious snacks."

Xu Ke looked at her with a funny look.

"As long as Sister Ran likes it, eat more. It's good for you and the baby."

The two of them ate and talked, and Li Yueran suddenly became sad.

"Xuzhi brought me here today. Xuzhi didn't expect the women's club to be the former princess's mansion.

When I came in, he was still outside in a daze, probably thinking about his days in the Princess's Mansion.

Xu Ke was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Prince Ning was still a nostalgic person.

However, the current ladies' club had been renovated by them and was very different from the former princess's palace.

Moreover, Prince Ning is no longer a royal consort, and is now married to Li Yueran. All the things that happened in the past are just passing clouds!

"Ran sister, don't worry. Prince Ning was probably revisiting his old place and was reminded of the past. Everyone has memories from the past!"

Li Yueran sighed softly.

“What my sister said is true, but when I saw him like that, I couldn’t help but think too much.

Now that I'm pregnant, I hope to be able to live happily with him forever. I don't need to care about the past anymore, but..."

"what happened?"

Xu Keke blinked and prepared to listen attentively.

Li Yueran gently stroked her abdomen, her face slightly red.

"But sister, the baby in my belly is already over seven months old, so it's really not convenient for me to have sex with my husband.

There is a concubine in the mansion, but I always feel uncomfortable when my husband goes to the concubine's room.

What would you do if it were you?”

Xu Ke thought about it carefully and told the truth.

“If it were me, I would spend money to solve it.

The concubine in your house was originally the maid of Prince Ning. You can find her family and take her back.

He returned her indentures and gave her enough money to support herself so that she could live an independent life.

It's better than being unknown in the Ningguo Mansion and accepting everything that comes your way.

However, you have to talk to the maid first. After all, everyone has different ideas and concepts.

And Prince Ning, if you don't care, there's no need to pretend to be generous. That will only make him think you really don't care."

As Xu Keke spoke, he sighed inwardly.

Even though she and Chu Musheng have such a good relationship, there are also truths that cannot be told.
