After Jiang Yue and Prince Rong returned to the inn, they immediately went back to their room, closed the door, and used the excuse of needing to rest, locking Prince Rong outside.

Prince Rong gritted his teeth and looked at the door closing in front of him, feeling helpless.

He just told Xiao Zhu to take good care of the princess and then went to report to Emperor Mingde.

God knows, when the guard on the city wall came to report that the princess was riding a horse alone and said she wanted to go out of the city for a stroll.

His heart was about to jump out of his chest. This was not a peaceful time. No one knew better than him how dangerous it was outside.

Not to mention the ferocious beasts, even the prince is trying to get close to Jiang Yue and get the medicine recipe from her.

There were also disaster victims from various places. When they heard that the emperor was temporarily resting in Lai County, many people from nearby areas rushed to seek refuge with the emperor with their families.

There are all kinds of monsters out there. She is a girl with no martial arts skills, so it is too dangerous for her to be alone.

It seems that I need to find two martial maids for her to protect her when she goes out.

Prince Rong had previously sent someone to report to the emperor that a lake had been discovered five miles outside the south gate.

They saw with their own eyes that the gods filled the water.

The emperor was overjoyed and ordered his men to rush to the lake with buckets to fetch water before dawn.

After the burning, the water bags and buckets of the people inside and outside the city were filled with water.

In this way, the court would not need to supply water every day. With water, the people could survive.

Jiang Yue was really tired. She had been busy all night, and draining water from such a large lake had consumed a lot of her energy.

After washing, I fell asleep.

Xiaozhu came over to call her to eat, but she didn't wake up and was still sleeping soundly.

Concubine Liang hadn't seen her for two meals and was worried, so she went to see her in person and brought the imperial physician with her. After confirming that she was just asleep, she went back with peace of mind.

Yao Chi was a bit bored, as she and her two sisters could never play together.

Before, I followed Qin Cangzhu every day in Kyoto, but now that Qin Cangzhu is on business trip, I might not even meet him once a day.

The weather was so hot that she felt like she was going to melt if she went out, and she didn't want to go out alone.

Moreover, ever since she met Jiang Yue, she felt that those ministers' daughters were not interesting at all and did not want to chat with them.

I could only eat smoothies boredly and wait for Jiang Yue to wake up.

Jiang Yue slept until four in the afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner.

After getting up, she went to see her aunt first. When Yao Chi saw that she had finally woken up, she immediately went to greet her.

"Sister, how can you sleep so well? Xiao Zhu said you went to bed at five in the morning, and you just woke up now.

There's no one to play with me, and I'm so bored today."

Jiang Yue looked at her with a smile, "Are you bored? Why don't you ask other girls to accompany you? They should be free now."

Yao Chi pulled her to sit down and said, “Those women are not as interesting as you. You are so capable, and it is easy to chat with you, my sister.

Being with them and having to act like a princess all the time is really tiring."

"Then I'll go back to the room and get you something good so we can play together?" Jiang Yue thought of a good thing, mahjong!

Yao Chi jumped for joy twice, "Okay, okay!"

Concubine Liang sat on the couch, reading a book and watching the two children playing and laughing.

She had been thinking about this scene for thirty years, and finally saw it!

Jiang Yue ran back to the room and took out a set of jade green mahjong from the space.

The thing is a bit heavy and this body can't lift it.

Just as she dragged her to the door, she met Qin Cangzhu walking by. Seeing that she was struggling, he picked her up with one hand.

"Where are you going, my lady? May I escort you there?"

Jiang Yue shook her arms. The plastic box hurt her arms, but she didn't refuse.

"Thank you, Lord Qin, for sending her to my aunt, Concubine Liang's room. Thank you."

Yao Chi was waiting eagerly when she finally heard footsteps.

Standing up happily, he saw Qin Cangzhu following behind Jiang Yue, holding various... boxes?

Concubine Liang also looked over curiously. Qin Cangzhu put the mahjong on the round table and greeted the two of them.

"Brother Qin, why are you here with my sister?" The moment Yao Chi saw Qin Cangzhu, she immediately straightened her clothes and her tone became gentle.

Jiang Yue discovered a huge secret and stood next to Concubine Liang, covering her mouth and laughing.

Qin Cangzhu bowed respectfully to Yao Chi and said, "Reporting to the Third Princess, I came back to report. On the way, I saw the princess holding this box. It seemed very heavy, so I helped her carry it over."

Yao Chi saw that he was always strict with her, and she felt disappointed, staring at the man closely.

I haven't seen Brother Qin for several days. He has become tanned and thinner after following Prince Rong on errands these days.

Feeling distressed, he said it out loud, "Brother Qin, I see you've been having a hard time lately.

I just sent you this watermelon smoothie. Would you like to have some to cool you down from the heat?"

Qin Cangzhu took a step back and saluted respectfully, "It is not hard for me, serving the emperor and the prince is my duty.

As for the watermelon smoothie, this top-quality item should be enjoyed by the Third Princess. I have something else to report to His Majesty, so I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he bowed to the three of them, turned around and left.

Jiang Yue was a little confused. Although she had never been in love in modern times, she could see that this was a case of the flower having feelings but the water being flown being heartless.

Qin Cangzhu doesn't like Yao Chi!

Isn't Yao Chi just being too enthusiastic?

Seeing Yao Chi looking at the door with a wronged look on her face, Jiang Yue walked up to her and pulled her to sit at the table.

Pointing to the mahjong on the table, he said, "Sister, look. This is mahjong. It's much more fun than leaf cards, but it's for four people to play."

Then he looked at the maids beside him and asked, "Who will go up?"

Several of the maids all shook their heads, "Princess, how dare this servant play at the same table with the masters?"

Seeing that the maids didn't dare to do it, Jiang Yue turned her gaze to Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu's eyes widened and she quickly waved her hands, "Miss, this servant...this servant wouldn't dare to do that either."

He pulled Xiaozhu over and pressed her down on the seat, scaring her so much that she almost jumped up.

"Xiao Zhu, we are short of one person. Please play with us for a while."

Xiao Zhu moved his butt and only dared to sit on half of the stool.

Jiang Yue poured the mahjong tiles on the table, shuffled the cards, stacked them, looked at the cards, and played them.

Teach them how to play mahjong one by one.

Jiang Yue also played with silver, and put a pile of silver coins in front of herself and Xiao Zhu.

A pile of silver coins was also placed in front of Yao Chi and Concubine Liang, and several maids stood behind them.

Jiang Yue naturally won the first round and took the silver handed over by the three people with a smile.

Oh my God!

I also earned money in ancient times!

Although this can be considered gambling, it was not illegal in ancient times.

Ha ha! ! !

Jiang Yue was thinking about winning all the money in front of the three people, but was immediately slapped in the face.

From the third round onwards, Concubine Liang had extremely good luck and got whatever cards she wanted.

Concubine Liang laughed heartily at Jiang Yue's frustrated and Yao Chi's depressed expressions.

"Haha~~~~~ Yue'er, you have such bad luck! You teach your apprentice and starve yourself to death." While teasing Jiang Yue, he grabbed the silver on the table in front of him.

Several big maids also covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Yao Chi held her cheeks with her hands, wanting to cry but unable to, and she couldn't understand why she lost so miserably!
