Chapter 605: Time Travel, She Plays Mahjong with the Emperor
Shen Xia stayed in the palace, and after a while, lunch was brought over from the imperial kitchen.
Shen Xia felt that it was a wrong decision for her to stay.
But now I have no choice but to go ahead with it.
Be an obedient cousin.
Shen Xia looked at the table full of exquisite dishes.
It looked good, but you could tell at first glance that the taste was just average because none of it was spicy.
Gu Yichen looked at Shen Xia beside him and said, "Cousin, don't you like to eat these?" Gu Yichen asked very considerately.
Shen Xia shook her head: "No!"
She thought that it was no wonder that in TV dramas, they eat small meals frequently every day. If she only eats this little bit, she will probably never be full.
The two of them ate together, and Gu Yichen sat next to Shen Xia.
Gu Yichen saw that Shen Xia didn't pick up much food. Although there were palace maids serving her, there were still serving chopsticks next to the two of them, so those who were close could pick up the food themselves.
Gu Yichen suddenly thought that Anping was also very well behaved when he was a child and often ate with him.
At that time he was twelve or thirteen years old, and she was two or three years old.
Thinking about these?
I unconsciously picked up some food for Shen Xia.
The palace people nearby were all surprised.
His Majesty actually picked up food for the princess himself.
This honor is unique!
Shen Xia looked at the dish that Gu Yichen brought over, and after a brief pause, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Gu Yichen smiled and said, "You loved eating this hibiscus cake when you were a child. I wonder if you still like it now."
Shen Xia nodded: "I like it."
Seeing that Shen Xia liked to eat, Gu Yichen didn't eat anything during the meal and just picked up food with Shen Xia.
In the end, Shen Xia felt her cheeks were about to become stiff from smiling.
Gu Yichen poured another glass of water beside him: "Drink some water to smooth things over."
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay, Your Majesty is really good to Anping."
Gu Yichen smiled and said, "I only have a little cousin like you, who else can I treat well if not you?"
"Your Majesty, you have been taking care of Anping. You haven't eaten anything! Eat a little more, or you will be hungry later."
"It's okay, I have a snack."
The two were talking.
I have forgotten the rule of not talking while eating.
As a result, just as the two of them finished eating, they heard the eunuch come in and report: "Your Majesty, Princess Xiyue wants to see you."
Gu Yichen nodded: "Let her in."
As soon as Xiyue got up, she looked at Shen Xia and said, "Princess Anping, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Shen Xia nodded and said, "Hello, Princess Xiyue."
Gu Yichen said: "What does Xiyue want to talk to me about?"
Xiyue smiled and said, "Who said I came here to find my father? I can't come to find Princess Anping."
Shen Xia thought to herself: I don’t want you to look for me and leave the palace right after you finish your meal!
Gu Yichen was stunned and smiled: "Oh, what do you want to see Anping about?"
Xiyue moved in front of Shen Xia in small steps: "Princess Anping, you finally came to the palace, let's play a game this afternoon!"
Shen Xia was so embarrassed that she played a game.
I was just about to say that I have something to do in the afternoon!
Going back.
In the end, no words were spoken.
Then I heard Gu Yichen say, "What do you mean by playing a game?"
Xiyue said: "Princess Anping gave me a set of mahjong. It's fun to play with four people. I can't find anyone to play with in the palace."
In fact, it’s not that she really can’t find anyone to play with. Xiyue found those little maids boring. She did teach them a lesson, but she couldn’t pay them, and everyone gave in to her. It was definitely not as interesting as real fighting!
Gu Yichen also became curious when he heard that it was the game Shen Xia was playing: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll entertain you guys for a while!"
Xiyue looked at Gu Yichen in surprise: "Is it true, father? Wow, that's great."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Shen Xia's lips.
Then he said, "I went out today without any money."
In fact, her space is rich, but she said that on purpose.
She couldn't believe it. This was a time travel. She played mahjong with the emperor.
Gu Yichen heard this and said, "I will take the blame for your mistake."
"Isn't this bad!"
"fine."
Xiyue thought that her mother must be very happy if she dragged her father to play mahjong.
I have to say that a game of mahjong would take at least two hours, and no one could spend two hours with His Majesty during the day.
So when Xiyue took Shen Xia and Gu Yichen to Concubine Yi's palace.
When talking about playing mahjong together, Concubine Yi's face was as bright as a flower.
Otherwise, his expression would change immediately when he saw Shen Xia.
He has told Xiyue many times that Princess Anping is a disaster. If it weren't for her, his brother would not have been demoted.
The Duke's Mansion will not be treated as a joke.
Although her younger brother Pei Yuanqi is married now, he married a merchant girl of low status, which makes her more and more angry the more she thinks about it.
My mother also talked to many families, but no one, not to mention those from wealthy families, even those from lower social classes, were willing to marry her brother.
If she hadn't instigated Gu Ziyan to divorce, her brother wouldn't have been demoted and wouldn't have married a lowly merchant woman.
She just didn't believe it. What was the point of Gu Ziyan getting a divorce? Would it be better for her to be alone for the rest of her life in the Duke's Mansion? And she even took their Duke's mansion's grandson away.
I recently heard from my mother that my father often goes to my aunt's house.
It seems that she wants to train her half-brother well.
Shen Xia looked at Concubine Yi with a look that seemed to want to stab her.
Turn a blind eye, if you can't see it, then you can't see it.
I just like the way she can't stand herself but can't get rid of herself.
If her brother were a good person, no one could instigate him.
Something is wrong.
Of course, Gu Yichen couldn't see these little things.
Then the four of them sat down at a gorgeous table.
Xiyue first explained the rules to Gu Yichen.
As the emperor of today, you will definitely understand this simple thing after it is explained once, and you will understand it after practicing it for a few times.
Xiyue asked everyone to prepare the money.
Concubine Yi scolded: "You are talking about money when playing mahjong with your father."
Xiyue pouted and said, "It's not fun without money!"
Gu Yichen smiled and said, "Let her do whatever she wants! If she wants to transfer money, then she can transfer money!"
Of course, Concubine Yi was very happy to see His Majesty indulging her daughter so much.
While everyone wasn't paying attention, he gave Shen Xia a provocative look.
Shen Xia was speechless. This guy must be sick!
"Your Majesty dotes on Xiyue, and she is almost spoiled." Concubine Yi said with a smile.
This sound.
Shen Xia felt her hair stand on end. Sister, you are already old, after all!
This sound doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.
Of course, Gu Yichen was also stunned for a moment.
Then he glanced at Shen Xia.
She said sheepishly, "It's okay if my daughter indulges me a little."
Then he looked at Zhao Ping next to him and said, "Bring the silver here."
Because Manager Zhao knew just now that money had to be transferred, and Xiyue also said how much money should be prepared.
Zhao Ping prepared a total of 1,200 taels of silver.
Gu Yichen took the silver, then divided it into two parts and gave one to Shen Xia.
Concubine Yi was watching from the opposite side, her cheeks were about to be broken by biting them. She still wanted to win Shen Xia's money, but in the end it was His Majesty's money.
Now it’s neither a win nor a loss, it makes me angry just thinking about it.
Shen Xia didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew, she would probably have to ask her where she got such confidence from.
