No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Before Lin Mingyan could say anything, a woman in a pink cheongsam stood up and slapped herself lightly on the face: "Ouch, my luck is so bad today!"

After saying that, he generously made way for her and came over to pull her to sit down: "Please help me push it up~"

Lin Mingyan hadn't even greeted any of these people yet, and she was already being forced into this position.

She said a little nervously: "I... can't!"

She has seen others play mahjong in modern times, but she herself doesn't know how to play it. She spends all her time working to support herself.

She had never been exposed to these kinds of entertainment before, and she felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

The pink-dressed woman smiled and said, "It's better to be a newbie. Newbies have more luck!"

"Besides, Concubine Jin gave birth to a son and was promoted to the rank this year, which is a great fortune~"

After saying this, everyone in the hall laughed.

It's a kind smile.

In Yonghe Palace, Lin Mingyan actually felt the most kindness since she came to this era.

She relaxed at once and said openly, "I've never had much luck, but fortunately the Fourth Master gave me enough money~"

"This is just a gift to show my filial respect to my mother."

As he said this, he pretended to be generous and patted the purse hanging on his body.

The bulging purse made the sound of silver and money colliding.

Concubine De was so amused by her that she was shaking with laughter. She pointed at her and said, "Oh, where did this mischievous ghost come from~"

"You all heard it, this is my son's gift to me, don't fight with me!"

With this said, everyone started today's mahjong battle.

Fortunately, at that time, mahjong had not yet developed as many different styles as in Sichuan, so Concubine De and the others played fool's mahjong.

3+3+3+3+2~

You can touch and eat, you can win by yourself or others.

Although Lin Mingyan had never played it before, she was smart and got the hang of it quickly.

She has a very good memory. When she is reading, she can memorize the whole book, and remembering cards is no problem.

At this time, he played seriously and fed cards to Concubine De from time to time, allowing her to make a big bet comfortably.

Defei made the first full-point big hand of the day and was as happy as a child, asking everyone to give her money.

Dai Jia, the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, patted her chest and said, "Oh, your Majesty, you have a good daughter-in-law. May you be prosperous!"

The two little attendants beside him also laughed and kept flattering him.

Concubine De raised her eyes and smiled: "Even if you are sweet-mouthed, you can't refuse to pay. Pay, pay~"

While playing mahjong and chatting about gossip, Lin Mingyan didn't expect that this is how she would spend the New Year in the palace.

But this way, I really relaxed a lot and gradually became familiar with it.

Dai Jia was also very famous. After all, she gave birth to the seventh prince, who grew up safely despite being disabled.

The remaining two young ladies-in-waiting lived in a side hall of Yonghe Palace. They were considered to be on the same side as Concubine De and helped the Emperor consolidate his favor when he came.

When the emperor couldn't remember them, he relied on Concubine De to protect them.

One of them was surnamed Xu and the other was surnamed Li, both were about the same age as Lin Mingyan.

Xu Changzai is the one who slaps herself in the face because of bad luck. She is a lively and cheerful person.

She was also funny and gossipy. When she had finished her chat, she looked around and asked, "Why didn't Concubine Min come?"

There were side halls on the left and right sides of Yonghe Palace. Concubine Min Zhangjia lived on the left, and the two of them lived on the right.

Concubine De frowned and glanced at Grandma Gao.

Nanny Gao said, "Concubine Min caught a cold again a few days ago. She had a fever last night and couldn't get out of bed this morning."

"It's not a good idea to call the imperial physician on New Year's Eve..."

The concubines in the harem are not as glamorous as outsiders think. There are many rules and regulations.

For example, the opportunity to play mahjong happily is only possible during the Chinese New Year.

Normally, if we want to get together and have fun like this, we have to eat the first one.

But on such a festive day, if you get sick you have to endure it alone.

After hearing this, Lin Mingyan thought about the time. In history, it seemed that Zhang Jia died at the age of 38, but she didn't know when it was.

Don’t do it during the New Year, Thirteen will be very miserable.

De Fei was obviously also afraid that something might happen to her at this time. Upon hearing this, she said, "Such a big thing, why didn't you come and report it?"

"Go get her a bottle of fever-reducing pills and give it to her. Don't let her get too hot."

High fever that won't go away is no joke. One of her daughters even had a high fever.

It was only two months old at the time, and even the teeth hadn't been aligned yet.

Grandma Gao took the order and left. The card table suddenly became quiet.

Xu Changzai pinched his palms, feeling a little regretful for bringing up this topic, which ruined the atmosphere.

She racked her brains and thought of something else: "Alas, many people are sick in this weather. After all, it's been incredibly cold this year."

"I heard that the one from Yikun Palace is also ill and can only take pills to cure the disease."

In this palace, the four concubines appear to be harmonious with each other, but in fact they are secretly at odds with each other.

Among them, Concubine De and Concubine Yi were the most incompatible. They were of similar age and their timelines of being favored overlapped.

They were simply competing to have more children. During the years when they were giving birth, no one else had a chance to do anything.

That's how hatred is created.

Of course, the two little concubines would bring out any bad things that happened in the Yiku Palace to cheer up Concubine De.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Concubine De curled her lips slightly and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Concubine Yi really doesn't take care of herself. It must be hard to bear being sick at a time like this~"

Lin Mingyan played mahjong while observing Concubine De calmly.

But she came from the palace fighting after all, and her acting skills are natural. Even an Oscar-winning actress may not be able to surpass her.

I didn't see any hypocrisy in her at all.

As if he was really worried about this "sister".

After hearing what she said, the three Dai Jias beside her took turns to greet Concubine Yi.

If Lin Mingyan hadn't been sitting here watching them playing cards, she would have thought they were really worried about Concubine Yi.

She played a pair of two, and Concubine De laughed and said, "All the same color, win~~"

As the cards were pushed down, the smile on Defei's face gradually widened, and she was even happier than when she had just won the biggest card by herself.

Huh~

She was the one who brought Concubine Yi to justice. If you dare to touch her son, you must be prepared to pay the price!
