Chapter 283 Lost 10 taels

They also want to use spiritual spring water, it is impossible to give him all of it.

Donglinhuang frowned slightly, "Then you can't take the initiative?"

Feng Mingjue's expression suddenly changed from cynical to very serious, and said, "I don't want to force her."

"..."

Emperor Donglin looked at him in a daze, and didn't know what to say, he could only say that he had a deep affection for the princess, even he was moved, but the princess was unmoved, could it be a heart of stone?
"So please don't meddle in our affairs."

"..."

...

In the East Palace, Mu Jiuqing sat in front of the desk and silently wrote a book of war. This book of war was taken out from the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, and the handwriting was slowly fading. Dong Linhuang asked her to restore it.

It's strange to say that this is their Feng family's special script, and others can't understand it at all, but she can understand it and can write it.

As it was being written, someone from outside came to report that the Empress Dowager asked her to go to Funing Palace.

She put down the brush, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is in the Empress Dowager's Palace?"

The maid said, "Go back to the Crown Princess, Miss Lu, Concubine Su, Princess Qinghe and others."

...

In Funing Palace, a few girls were chatting with the Queen Mother to relieve boredom.

Several people sat at a table playing push jade cards.

Exquisite, small and square, they are all carved from jade.

Mu Jiuqing came in and looked very novel. This thing is only available in Donglin. The palace people explained that it is pushing jade cards, also called "Mahjong".

A table for four.

Empress Dowager, Concubine Su, Concubine Lu Shuangshuang and Concubine Shu sat at the same table, with other concubines beside them.

I saw their hands constantly pushing and rubbing the jade plaques, making a "crackling" sound, a group of women talking and laughing happily.

Seeing her, she didn't stop, and said with a smile, "The princess is here, come and sit down, you haven't seen this thing before."

Mu Jiuqing said flatly, "No."

A concubine smiled and said, "This is called push jade card, also called mahjong, it's very fun, do you want to play a game?"

The Queen Mother smiled, "Concubine Shu just got tired of playing, you come to take her seat and let Shuangshuang teach you, Shuangshuang is the champion of the jade medal contest."

Mu Jiuqing frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Shuangshuang, and then saw that there was a pile of broken silver and banknotes beside them, and she understood, isn't it similar to "rolling dice", gambling money?
Concubine Shu smiled and hurriedly stepped aside, "Did the Crown Princess bring a bank note? How about I lend you 100 taels?"

"Need not."

Mu Jiuqing smiled lightly and sat down, thinking it was time to play, Xiangling took out 1000 taels of silver and pressed it on the table.

Everyone looked at her and couldn't help but stop and watch.

The Crown Princess and Miss Lu are evenly matched. If Donglin and Xichu hadn't married, Miss Lu would most likely be the Crown Princess Donglin.

It is well known that Miss Lu admires the prince.

Now the two are facing each other.

The princess doesn't know how to push jade cards, but she doesn't know if she will be abused?

Many people watched with excitement.

Princess Qinghe said with a smile, "Concubine Mu, you've been playing all morning, why don't I replace you."

Princess Qinglan's eyes flickered, she shook the Empress Dowager's arm, and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, I also want to play with my sister-in-law."

Both the Queen Mother and Concubine Su nodded and got up to give their seats to the young man.

The two princesses looked at each other, sat down happily and couldn't help pushing the jade tablet, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you haven't played it yet, let Shuangshuang teach you first."

Mu Jiuqing nodded, "Then there will be Miss Laolu."

Lu Shuangshuang said with a smile, "Thanks to the Crown Princess for not giving up."

Then Lu Shuangshuang roughly explained the rules to her, finished the method, and taught her to identify all the trademarks.

"Princess, do you remember?"

After Lu Shuangshuang finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes slightly and curled her lips secretly.

"Well, remember."

Princess Qinglan said, "Then let's begin."

Mu Jiuqing nodded and followed them to push the jade plaque a few times. There was a "pop" sound, and many people stared excitedly.

...

Mu Jiuqing won the first game, and won a lot of money. They played a lot, starting with 1000 taels, and she won 3000 taels.

Everyone praised.

"The princess is really smart."

Facing everyone's praise, Mu Jiuqing's expression was indifferent, and he did not feel complacent just because he won, so he laughed it off.

Then in the second game, she won again, winning 6000 taels.

Then she was the one who won, Mu Jiuqing felt very strange, squinted her apricot eyes and looked at Lu Shuangshuang on the opposite side, and soon smelled a conspiracy, the three of them deliberately let her win!
Sure enough, the next thing she did, she started to lose, and kept losing, very badly, a total of 10 taels.

Xiangling's complexion was extremely ugly, even she could feel that this group of people was working together to bully the princess.

But Mu Jiuqing always had a faint smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring enough banknotes with me, I asked someone to go back to the East Palace to get them."

Princess Qinghe looked at the Queen Mother nervously, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's the first time you play, you don't need to take it seriously, you don't need to pay for it."

Princess Qinglan hid beside Concubine Shu, nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't take it seriously, pushing jade cards is all about luck, sometimes you will lose badly if you are not lucky."

Lu Shuangshuang said with a smile, "It's the first time for the Crown Princess to play, so it's pretty good."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and said, "You don't need to go back to the East Palace to get it, 10 taels will be given to you."

Mu Jiuqing raised her brows slightly, amazed in her heart, the women in the harem to the east are all really rich, they don't even blink at 10 taels, and they don't change their faces when they see other people, they don't take 10 taels seriously at all.

"Thank you, Grandmother, the prince will return 10 taels."

Everyone paused, looking at the smiling girl, their backs tightened suddenly, and their faces turned pale.

If the prince knew that they deliberately tricked the princess, he would probably anger the prince. The prince did not know how to play the jade card for the first time, but the prince understood.

Princess Qinghe, Princess Qinglan, and Lu Shuangshuang's eyes flickered slightly, and they were a little flustered, but they remained calm.

A concubine smiled and said, "Doesn't the Crown Princess even have 10 taels? Still want to get it from the Crown Prince?"

Princess Qinghe's eyes flashed coldly, she touched the tip of her nose with an embroidered handkerchief, and said, "I heard that the salary of the empress of Xichu is only 1000 taels a year, not to mention the princess, the identity of the princess, should be The salary is not much, and the sister-in-law's dowry is probably not even 10 taels."

Donglin is relatively wealthy, and the salaries of the concubines in the harem are very high. The salary of concubines is more than [-] taels a year, and they have private properties, so there is no shortage of money at all.

Compared with them, Empress Xichu is indeed poor.

So these women are trying to mock her for being poor?

Mu Jiuqing raised his brows very lightly, and he was not afraid of being angry when he spoke, "The prince married the princess with a million gold dowry, and I was the one who said he was, so I can't say that I spent the prince's money. It belongs to this palace."

"..."

After hearing this, everyone pulled their embroidered handkerchiefs and stared at the princess, their stomachs were full of sour water, and the betrothal gift of millions of gold was probably the only one in this world.

Almost a sensation in the world.

Although they are not short of money to spend, even if they accumulate for a lifetime, they will not be able to come up with 100 million gold.

In this comparison, they are all poor.

The richest person in Donglin is Donglin Huang, and then the crown prince.

When the prince said that he would take millions of gold to hire him, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty disagreed.

The Emperor Donglin and the crown prince didn't insist anymore, and the father and son paid half of the 100 million gold. It was such arrogance that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had nothing to say, so they agreed to the marriage.

Mu Jiuqing didn't know these things, she didn't care about them, the reason why she was targeted by these women was because of Feng Ming, so he should pay the 10 taels.
