Chapter 100 Luck Is Also A Part of Strength

For the next few days, Su Mianyue stayed in the palace peacefully, but no longer as closed as before. Whether it was the progress of the midwife or Concubine De's actions, Su Mianyue knew everything.

On this day, Su Mianyue saw that the weather was not bad, so he asked several concubines to play mahjong in the pavilion in Imperial Garden. Naturally, some people wanted to curry favor with Su Mianyue, so they sat on the side and watched, chatting and complimenting from time to time.

"The empress's card playing skills are really extraordinary. She has been winning since the beginning of the game. The younger sisters should not cry when they lose later." The concubine covered her mouth and smiled. Seeing that biwu had brought some herbal tea, she quickly got up and took it. She personally brought it to Su Mianyue and smiled, "Although the weather is still hot, it's better for women to drink less cold tea. I have an old secret herbal tea recipe in my hands. It's very cool to drink without ice. I'll make some empress to try it tomorrow."

"Concubine li has a heart, but this palace is blessed." Su Mianyue smiled and took a sip. His eyes lit up and he pushed the card to the table. He said proudly, "Concubine Hua menqing, big bag."

"Concubines say that the empress is good at playing cards. It is only one of them that the concubines see. Good luck is the most important thing." Concubine Hua was not angry, but he signaled the palace maid to send the money over.

"Luck is also a part of strength. This palace is opening up well today, but it's going to kill all of them." Su Mianyue's smiling eyes curved, because he did not wear formal palace attire, but it had the feeling of a little sister next door, but also the beauty of the group lost its color, so that a group of concubines could not help but look at a few more, and even secretly criticized why such a stunning beauty could not be compared to Gu Linng being favored.

Concubine Lang and Concubine Ya looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They both lost about the same amount. Although they did not lose as much as Concubine Hua, they lost a month's salary in a circle. How should they live the rest of their lives?

Not to mention whether Su Mianyue was really capable, just because she was the queen, how many people would dare to beat her?

"Concubine Hua, Concubine Lang, and Concubine Ya are really unlucky today. I don't want to take advantage of you, so let's get a few more people to come up and play. Everyone around has looked twice and knows how to play." Su Mianyue waved his hand and let the three of them off gracefully. He looked around at the other concubines and warned, "This palace has agreed that everyone should play according to their abilities. If anyone intentionally gives way to this palace and makes it unhappy, this palace will not spare her."

Concubine Lang and Concubine Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had brought a lot of dowries as princesses, they were not local after all. It was impossible for a mother to send them without money. This kind of entertainment that could only be lost but not won was really not suitable for them.

Concubine Hua did not care. She was really unlucky, but having a rich but not powerful family was strong in gold and silver.

When the three of them ended up, there was someone who had taken over, but it was only half a lap. After everyone had talked about some secret things in the palace, a discordant voice came, which almost made Su Mianyue roll his eyes.

"I heard the laughter from afar. I came here to join in the fun. All my beloved concubines need not be too polite." Mu Tinng approached the pavilion and naturally sat beside Su Mianyue. Concubine Hua stood beside Mu Tinng because he had given up his seat, but he was polite and did not show any hospitality.

As for the other concubines, seeing Mu Tinng was like a bee seeing a flower, and they wanted to pounce on her.

"Your majesty has come, and your servant and concubine's mahjong bureau is about to be broken up. In vain, your servant and concubine have good luck today." Su Mianyue said unhappily, and he was just about to rush her out.

Of course, whether it was Mu Tinng's identity or that pair of expectant eyes, Su Mianyue could not do that, or else he would draw hatred.

"Is this mahjong?" Mu Tinng, as if he had not heard Su Mianyue's complaint, leaned over to Su Mianyue and said, "I've heard of this before, but I've never played with it. It's just that the empress has taught me and I can make up for it in the future."

"Hehe, okay." Su Mianyue forced out a fake smile and unnaturally moved a little to the side. However, Mu Tinng followed her and had nowhere to hide.

"It's time for the queen to play." Mu Tinng's kind tip, but he was speaking in Su Mianyue's ear, and the heat was blowing through Su Mianyue's broken hair, which was endlessly ambiguous.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mianyue resisted the urge to push Mu Tinng away and was furious.

Can't you see the sadness of the other concubines after Mu Tinng's ambiguous sitting posture? With so many beautiful wives and concubines, it's just that we can't have all the rain and dew. At least we should take into account everyone's mood.

What made Su Mianyue most angry was that she and Mu Tinng were as respectful as ice. Even if the ice was broken, it was reasonable to treat each other as guests. Was it really good to show'love' in public?

"Does the emperor want to try?" Su Mianyue got up at the same time as he asked, ready to give the place to Mu Tinng.

"All right." Mu Tinng nodded and sat in front of Su Mianyue. Without waiting for Su Mianyue to step back, he pulled her into his arms and sat on his lap. "I don't know how to play yet. The empress is just teaching me."

Su Mianyue was so stiff that she wished she could get up immediately, but if she hit Mu Tinng too hard in the face, the consequences would not be fun and she could only endure the' humiliation'that Mu Tinng had brought her.

"Then the imperial concubine will explain the rules to the emperor, but the imperial concubine has something to say in the front. If you win soon, you will be considered a imperial concubine, but if you lose, you will have to pay for yourself. The imperial concubine is very poor." Su Mianyue was lying with her eyes open, even though she didn't care about winning or losing.

"The empress and I are husband and wife. Why should we care about this?" Mu Tinng raised his eyebrows, obviously not taking Su Mianyue's words seriously.

"That won't do." Su Mianyue's voice was slightly higher, but he did not notice it, "I have heard of a place where women are financially independent. The money earned by their husbands must be handed over to their wives, and they must discuss it with their wives when they are in charge. The wives are the wives themselves, and the husbands are not allowed to use or interfere."

After that, Su Mianyue nodded his head vigorously to show that what he said was true.

In the twenty-first century, this phrase is familiar to all human beings in the world. Yours is mine, mine is mine.

However, in this era, Su Mianyue could only politely say that her money would never give mu ting a penny.

"What the queen said is interesting. I will let you do it." Mu Tinng readily agreed, but under his half-lowered eyes, a gleam of light was hidden, fleeting.

Su Mianyue proudly raised her chin and began to explain the rules of playing mahjong for Mu Tinng. However, she forgot when Mu Tinng stopped being cold to her and even began to accommodate her. She was no longer so defensive, but did not like to have too much contact with Mu Tinng, and still did not intend to be his real wife, the queen of his life.

After playing two rounds, Mu Tinng had already grasped the main point and was luckier than before su mianyue. However, after one round, she had won the two concubines in a shy pocket, but su mianyue was in a good mood to take the money.

"The emperor is in good hands today, and his concubines are in good hands." Su Mianyue fully displayed the characteristics of a small financial fan. His tone was very pleasant, but he did not forget to take into account the emotions of the others, "All the sisters have been with us for a noon today. I'm sure they're all tired. Let's go back and rest first. We will hold a banquet in Phoenix Palace tomorrow. We hope all of you can come and join us, especially the concubines, the noble yun and min jieyu, who have been playing mahjong with the emperor for so long and have lost so much money. I will ask the emperor to drink with you tomorrow."

Su Mianyue turned to mu ting and asked, "Your majesty will be free tomorrow, right? I was so happy that I forgot to ask your majesty first. I also hope your majesty will forgive me. I really let the sisters lose too hard today. I can't bear it anymore."

"So the queen wants me to compensate her?" Mu Tinng narrowed his eyes and asked with a half-smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Su Mianyue almost cried out when his slender waist was pinched. He said, "It is rare for me to have a banquet in Phoenix Palace, and I have never formally invited the emperor to come. But the emperor does not want to give me this face?"

Seeing Su Mianyue's change of tone, Mu Tinng no longer put himself in a difficult position and said, "If that's the case, I will take the time tomorrow." With that said, Mu Tinng glanced at the concubines present and added, "The empress has always been in poor health. There is no need to invite too many people tomorrow. Just these concubines present today will be fine."

Su Mianyue would not have brushed off Mu Tinng's good intentions. She only wanted to make a few friends, not pretend to be a snake, and all the concubines were overjoyed with gratitude. The fewer people appeared in front of Mu Tinng, the more chance they had to be remembered.

At this moment, the concubines all thanked Su Mianyue for giving them such an opportunity, but Su Mianyue just smiled faintly. She wanted to make these concubines, but only to use them against Gu Linng, to choose one or two smart ones who could share Mu Tinng's favor. This was one of her purposes.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Mu Tinng did not say which palace to go to for lunch. All the concubines knelt down with a look on their faces, and even the palace people retreated out of the pavilion. Only then did Su Mianyue realize that he was still sitting on Mu Tinng's lap and wanted to get up awkwardly.

"Does the empress reject me so much?" With his arms folded, Mu Tinng did not give Su Mianyue a chance to escape.

"My concubine only thinks that the emperor is a body of ten thousand gold. Such a posture is really out of line. If someone has a heart for an article, I am afraid that my concubine will be impeached by the imperial court and will be cursed after the demon that confused the monarch's heart." With his head down, Su Mianyue found a suitable excuse.

"So, I want to dote on the empress, but I caused trouble for her?" Mu Tinng's face was slightly cold.

"Once upon a time, my concubines were looking forward to such trouble, but now they are afraid." Su Mianyue smiled bitterly, looked up at Mu Tinng's unhappy eyes, and said seriously, "To be able to stay by the emperor's side and be qualified to sit beside the emperor, I have nothing else to ask for. The consequences of being too greedy, I have learned countless times, and I know how to accept my fate."

Mu Tinng's eyes were deep, but he looked at Su Mianyue without saying a word. He just held Su Mianyue's arm and did not let go half of his strength, which made Su Mianyue have to straighten his back. Otherwise, it would be difficult to breathe.

The empress dowager sat hugging each other and looked at each other. This scene was so harmonious, so envious, but it also made people jealous. It hurt their hearts and blinded their eyes.

"My concubine said that the emperor must be with the empress and her mother. Your highness Prince Rui still doesn't believe it. Do you believe it this time?" Gu Linng's soft voice broke the' harmony' between Mu Tinng and Su Mianyue.

Looking at the two people in the pavilion with complicated eyes, Mu Chen walked towards the pavilion without saying a word, bowed slightly to them, and then sat down on one side.

When an outsider came, Su Mianyue struggled to get up, but Mu Tinng did not allow it. Su Mianyue had to whisper, "Your majesty, there are outsiders here, making people laugh."

"King rui is my brother. He will be happy to see that the relationship between brother and sister-in-law is harmonious. The empress doesn't have to look out for him." Mu Tinng's voice was not low, obviously not avoiding Mu Chen and Gu Linng.

"The emperor thinks so, but his concubines will still be shy, let alone..." Su Mianyue looked up, smiled apologetically at gu ling and said, "Concubine Ling has always been very weak. The imperial doctor also said that he can't be stimulated. The emperor has to take into account one or two things."

As if Gu Linng had just arrived, mu ting looked at Gu Linng and saw that her face was so pale that she might faint at any moment. However, he tried to keep her figure steady and squeezed out a proper smile. Mu Tinng could not help but frown and loosen his arms around Su Mianyue.

Hastily getting up from Mu Tinng's arms and straightening up the creases on her dress, Su Mianyue smiled and said, "I was just teaching the emperor to play mahjong, but my body is not good. I almost had a relapse. Fortunately, the emperor is taking care of me." Su Mianyue explained dryly, keeping his eyes on Gu Linng, observing her expression.

Seeing that Gu Linng's smile was about to fade away, a flash of panic flashed across Su Mianyue's face and he said hurriedly, "I still have something to deal with, so I'll take my leave first."

However, when Su Mianyue turned around, Mu Tinng's big hand grabbed her wrist and pressed her to the side of her body, making Gu Linng, who wanted to sit down, almost fall down because he could not dodge, but mu ting did not even give a look, which showed that there was really a problem between the two.
