Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 32

"It's all thanks to the emperor for granting Jue'er such a good marriage." Empress Xian was not stupid, so she naturally understood what Concubine De meant.

But, so what? This is the emperor's order. If she has the ability, she can talk to the emperor!

Defei was angry and thought to herself, this bitch is getting proud of herself.

Humph! When the box is opened later, this bitch will be embarrassed.

Concubine De didn't think that the Qiao family could give out any good things.

A merchant family should not think that just because they have some silver, the things they produce can never compare to those in the imperial palace!

The Qiao family’s things are definitely not good enough in the palace!

Concubine De thought proudly that she was just waiting to see Concubine Xian make a fool of herself.

Xia He stood by with a smile from beginning to end, without any of the restraint that a maid should have.

Moreover, the clever Xia He also saw Defei's ill intentions.

But she was not discouraged. She believed that what her young lady prepared would dazzle their eyes.

After all, the gifts my young lady prepared for Concubine Xian were all exquisite, and those things could not be found with just money. The double-sided embroidered screen and the tree-shaped red coral alone were enough to make Concubine De jealous.

Of course, these two things are just ordinary things compared to the rare treasures in the box.

After all, anything that Qiao Anan would take a fancy to must not be an ordinary thing.

"Sister Concubine Xian. I am very curious about the gifts that Miss Qiao gave you. I wonder if you could also take a look at them?" Seeing that Concubine Xian had no intention of opening the boxes, Concubine De urged.

"Oh, it's so lively here, Sister Xian Fei." Before Empress Xian could say anything, a charming voice was heard from outside.

The person who came was actually Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu gave birth to the fourth prince, Chu Haoyu. When Concubine Shu heard that the future second prince's wife had sent a lot of things to Concubine Xian, she came to watch the fun.

Concubine Shu also doesn’t think that the Qiao family, a merchant family, can give away any good things?

However, I was a little surprised to see the huge double-sided embroidered screen and the tree-shaped red coral in Yuxiu Palace.

These two things are extremely rare. I didn't expect that the Qiao family would be willing to give them to Empress Xian. It seems that they have put a lot of effort into currying favor with her.

"Shufei is in a good mood today." Defei said with a sneer.

In Concubine De's view, anyone who competed with her son for that position was not a good person. The Fourth Prince also had the same ambition to become the crown prince, so she had to be on guard.

"Look at what Sister Defei said. It's in Yuxiu Palace. Sister Defei can come, so why can't I come?" Shufei retorted rudely.

If Concubine De doesn't like her, how could she like Concubine De?

Empress Xian looked at these two people arguing with each other and said nothing.

Of course she knew that these two people came to him to laugh at her.

However, at this moment she didn't know what Qiao Anan had prepared for her.

I just hope that the girl from the Qiao family won't embarrass me.

Empress Xian was also considering her own excuses in her mind. If what she was going to produce was really not presentable, she would also have to think of a response plan so as not to embarrass herself.

"Hey, sister Concubine Xian, why do you give your future daughter-in-law a table when there are so many other gifts? Are you afraid that you won't have a table to use in this palace?" Concubine Shu looked at the square mahjong table and couldn't help but giggled.

I just thought in my mind that she was indeed a merchant girl who was not presentable enough to bring such a thing. What kind of table could not be found in the palace?

After hearing what Concubine Shu said, Concubine Xian was furious, but she couldn't find any words to refute. The maid just now only said that this table was called mahjong. She didn't know what sesame paste was.

After hearing what Concubine Xian said, Concubine De covered her mouth and laughed. She had just seen the table.

Although he and Concubine Shu did not get along, they both wanted to see Concubine Xian perform.

"Well, Miss Qiao said she sent me a little gadget to relieve my fatigue, and I'm very curious about it." Empress Xian looked at Xia He beside her and motioned her to explain.

"Why don't you invite the two ladies to watch mahjong together later?" Xia He was not afraid of Concubine De and Concubine Shu. Instead, she generously invited them to watch how they played mahjong. Xia He thought that later, she would suggest to Concubine Xian that the two ladies should experience mahjong. She believed that after the two ladies experienced mahjong, they would definitely like it!

After hearing what Xia He said, Concubine De and Concubine Shu looked at each other in surprise.

They were both puzzled as to why this table was called French Mahjong. What was so special about it? Wasn't it just an ordinary table?

"My two sisters, aren't you curious? Why don't you accompany me to see what this mahjong game is all about?" Empress Xian thought to herself, don't these two just want to see me embarrassed? No matter what, I have to drag them into this.

"Since my sister has invited me so kindly, I can't refuse." Although De Fei was reluctant, she was already here. What's the harm in taking a look? Can this small table really eat it all by itself?

"Then I'd like to join in." Seeing that Defei said so, Shufei couldn't refuse.

Xia He clapped her hands, and soon someone took out some jade mahjong pieces from a box.

Seeing Xia He placing the mahjong pieces neatly on the table, Concubine Xian, Concubine De and Concubine Shu were all curious.

I don't know what the purpose of these jade blocks is, and why they have to be placed on this square table.

"Huh? This seems to be made of fine Hetian jade." Looking at the mahjong pieces on the mahjong table, Concubine Shu couldn't help but shout out curiously.

At this time, Concubine Xian also noticed that these jade stones looked extraordinary. She didn't know what the meaning of this pile was.

Xia He naturally heard what Concubine Shu said. She still kept smiling and did not explain.

I was only thinking about the many fun things my young lady had in her hands.

Which one is not more exquisite than those in the palace?

"Empress Xian, I will first demonstrate to you how to play mahjong. You can ask several palace maids to learn together. Then they can use mahjong to entertain you later." Xia He said with a smile.

Empress Xian signaled her personal maids Qing Ning, Qing Yu and Qing Su to learn carefully.

Although Defei and Shufei were curious, they could only watch from the side. After all, this was Concubine Xian's thing, and they would not be so foolish as to want to snatch it away.

Xia He first brought three maids to demonstrate to Concubine Xian and others how to play mahjong.

"This mahjong looks quite interesting." Empress Xian felt a little unsatisfied after watching a game.

"Why don't you try it yourself, Your Majesty?" Xia He invited with a smile.

Empress Xian was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Defei and Shufei, who were standing by, were also eager to make a move.

Although they didn't like Empress Xian, they had to admit that this thing called mahjong looked quite interesting.

"Empress Xian, this mahjong game requires four people to play together. Why not invite two ladies to try it together?" Xia He leaned close to Empress Xian's ear and whispered a suggestion.
