After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Changle Casino is indeed the number one casino in Kyoto.

Not only does it look taller and more noble than the Fugui Casino from the outside, it is even more luxurious inside, with dozens of gold-inlaid gambling tables that are extravagant and valuable.

It seems that gambling here makes people feel superior.

Yan Qing still chose the dice.

Guess the size.

After a night of pondering, she could vaguely hear the trajectory of the dice shaking in the dice cup. Combined with the dealer's gestures and expression, she could probably guess most of it.

There are a total of twenty-eight tables in the gambling house.

Yan Qing touched it all over.

Except for the first table that guessed wrong twice, the next twenty-seven tables all won money and also figured out the strength of all the dealers in Changle Casino.

But Yan Qing did not show off.

She only bets ten times at each table, and changes tables after ten times, regardless of whether she wins or loses.

After all the dealers playing dice had their turn, she went to the Pai Gow area and tried a few hands of Pai Gow, but unfortunately she lost.

Surprisingly, she seemed to particularly like Pai Gow.

Keep losing and keep playing.

Have fun.

Yan Qing didn't want to attract attention, but she didn't know that she had been watched since she entered the gambling house.

……

The second floor.

King Ying Zhu of Qi stood at the window of the box, looking down at the floor below.

The staff beside him whispered, "Your Highness, the Imperial Guards may not be able to intervene."

The King of Qi said calmly, "Even though we've lost the Commander-in-Chief, we still have the Deputy Commander. With Lu Qiaonan's ability, and with my help, it won't be long before he becomes the Commander-in-Chief."

The staff member said, "Just received news that the deputy commander... is gone too."

"what?"

The King of Qi withdrew his gaze and looked at his staff.

A hint of gloom appeared on his handsome and cold face. "When Hu Biao entered the palace, I sent a message to my grandfather. He should be in the palace now..."

The maternal grandfather of the Prince of Qi was the new patriarch of the Wang family of Langya. Although he did not become the prime minister like the previous patriarch, and only served as the fifth-rank director of the Imperial Observatory, he was the father-in-law of the emperor.

With him leading the Wang officials to the palace, even Hu Biao could not stop the King of Qi from reaching out to the imperial guards.

At most, it will change from principal to deputy.

This made no difference to the King of Qi and the Wang family.

However, the staff member lowered his head and said, "Noble Concubine Xie suddenly broke into the imperial study and said that Prince Jing wanted to go to the army for training, so His Majesty gave the position of deputy commander of the imperial guards to His Royal Highness Prince Jing..."

"Bah!"

The window frame made of pear wood was suddenly shattered.

The King of Qi spoke with a cold gaze, "Third brother has never been interested in power. Why would you suddenly want to join the army for training? And the Imperial Guards, of course?"

The staff said, "Although Prince Jing doesn't want to fight for power, Concubine Xie has always been eyeing him covetously. This time, she might be deliberately opposing Your Highness!"

The King of Qi snorted coldly: "She is worthy!"

The staff did not respond.

Although the Xie family of Chenjun is not as well-off as the Wang family of Langya, they are favored by the emperor. In just one year, Concubine Xie was promoted from Jieyushi to the current position of Concubine, which is extremely rare in the promotion of concubines in the harems of all dynasties.

The children of the Xie family have also suddenly risen in recent years, almost occupying half of the court.

Your Majesty is clearly intentionally cultivating this.

It is to check and balance the Wang family.

After a pause, the King of Qi suddenly looked at Yan Qing in the Pai Gow area on the first floor and said gloomily, "Could it be that that old bastard Ye Zhennan has teamed up with the Xie family?"

The staff shook their heads. "It doesn't look like that. Although Ye Zhennan is a reckless man, he never interferes in the factional disputes in the court. That's why the Ye family has always been favored by His Majesty. In my opinion, this is more like the Xie family taking advantage of the situation..."

As the aide spoke, he followed the King's gaze towards Yan Qing on the first floor and said hesitantly, "If Your Highness wants to establish a relationship with the Ye family, why not start with the Second Miss Yan? I heard that everyone in the Ye family regards her as a treasure..."

"Humph!"

The King of Qi's face turned ugly in an instant.

After a while, he said with hidden anger, "If it weren't for the fact that Yan Er and Lu Qiaonan have been engaged since childhood, why would I have sought to marry a young man from a declining marquisate? I originally wanted Yan Er to marry into the Lu family, and since the Lu family is on my side, even if Ye Zhennan doesn't support me, he won't stand against me. But now, what a mess!

Yan Er divorced Lu Qiaonan right after marrying into the Lu family, and now even her position in the Imperial Guard has been taken away. What use is there for Lu Qiaonan? He's nothing but trash!"

The more the King of Qi thought about it, the angrier he became.

What Kyoto lacks the least is marquises.

There are many people who are more capable and powerful than the Lu family. He originally took a fancy to Lu Qiaonan because he was related to Yan Qing, but he didn't expect that he would have an affair with a concubine's daughter on his wedding night. How stupid!

"idiot!"

The King of Qi couldn't help but curse again.

The staff waited until he calmed down before slowly saying, "Your Highness, don't worry. Since Lu Qiaonan can't keep Miss Yan, why don't you..."

The King of Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you asking me to marry her?"

The staff nodded: "Isn't it for the Ye family that Your Highness recruited the Lu family? If Your Highness marries that second Miss Yan, Ye Zhennan will be on the same boat with Your Highness whether he likes it or not."

The King of Qi suddenly looked thoughtful.

The aide continued, "Miss Yan was previously engaged to Lu Qiaonan, so Your Highness couldn't steal her away. But now she's a divorced woman, and no one would dare marry her in the future. If Your Highness extends a helping hand to her now, surely..."

"I'm sure she'll be grateful!"

The King of Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt that this method was feasible.

He looked at Yan Qing's beautiful face and sighed, "She's not bad looking. For the sake of General Ye, I can accept her status as a divorced woman and grant her the position of a concubine."

Staff: “…”

Forget it, who says he is the prince?

The staff patiently advised, "Your Highness, although Miss Yan is a divorced woman, she is, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Yan family and the granddaughter of General Ye. If you don't offer the position of concubine to show your sincerity, I'm afraid the Yan and Ye families will not agree..."

"Then reward her with the position of concubine."

The King of Qi didn't care much. To him, concubines and maids were all the same. He said condescendingly, "It's just one more person in the backyard. It's no big deal."

After thinking for a moment, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it to the guard beside him: "Go, invite Miss Yan up and tell her that I want to see her."

A divorced woman must be heartbroken at this moment, so she would come to the gambling house to vent her emotions. If someone loved her, she would definitely be attracted to him and burst into tears of gratitude. If she knew that he wanted to marry her as a concubine, who knows how happy she would be?
