Chapter 115: The Femme Fatale Princess of the Lost Nation x The Paranoid Madman Emperor of the Enemy
Yun Qian never liked attending banquets or anything like that. Only on New Year's Day would this Queen of Qi Huan appear, but she was protected very closely by Qi Huan. Those sitting below didn't dare to look up at the Empress above. No matter how curious they were, they had to suppress their curiosity. At least they knew that such a person really existed...
And seeing the little prince and princess grow up and become more and more beautiful, it can be seen that their biological mother must be a natural beauty...
Yun Qian really wasn’t interested in these banquets. She just drank, ate, watched singing and dancing, and was constantly harassed by Qi Huan. It just passed by like that. Was there anything meaningful in it?
However, during a flower-viewing banquet held at a marquis's house, Yun Qian encountered an unexpected surprise.
When Qi Huan led her in, Yun Qian left first. She didn't want to sit in the high seat and listen to all the nonsense. This time, Xun'er and Tangtang had accepted the invitation of their new partner, so Yun Qian decided to come and take a look.
The sons and daughters of this marquis' family were all sent to the palace as study companions. Though they shared the same mother, the two siblings barely communicated. Xun'er's silence frightened Yun Qian. His father, when he was more talkative, could talk a lot... Tangtang, however, was incredibly lively, sometimes talking nonstop... In the modern world, Yun Qian sometimes wished she'd just put her daughter on a stand-up show; her desire to talk was a bit too strong...
After accompanying the two children to find their new friends, Yun Qian left at the right time. As an adult, it was not appropriate for her to be there.
And just as she was walking and watching boredly in the back garden of the marquis's house.
Suddenly, someone approached her, seemingly trying to scare her. Yun Qian thought it was a bit amusing, and just as she was about to pat her right shoulder, she turned back, ready to catch the person. Unexpectedly, this seemed to be a trick used by young ladies in the boudoir. She had already turned her other half to pat Yun Qian's left shoulder...
Yun Qian was silent for a moment. So that's how it was played... Unexpectedly, the young lady suddenly showed a look of surprise and apology. Yun Qian immediately understood that she must have recognized the wrong person...
She had always dressed as she pleased, wearing palace gowns and phoenix robes only on important occasions. The rest of the time, she could dress however she pleased. Sure enough, hadn't he mistaken the woman before him? He must have mistaken her for one of her sisters.
"I'm so sorry, sister. I recognized the wrong person..."
Yun Qian smiled nonchalantly, saying it was fine. It was obvious that Yun Qian was older than her, which was normal. No matter how young Yun Qian was, she couldn't be younger than these adorable girls. After all, her two children were already six years old.
Unexpectedly, the woman in front of her was stunned. Yun Qian had been silent and indifferent. She had thought that this sister would give her a cold glance, but unexpectedly, she smiled at her. It was really a charming smile...
Somehow, Miss Su came up with the idea of inviting her to go with her, and she did it right away.
If she couldn't attract anyone, she wouldn't be able to play today. Then this party would be meaningless to her.
Yun Qian was bored, so she agreed and followed her. But the further they walked, the more she felt something was amiss. This Miss Su, clearly a lady from a wealthy family, was now feigning composure as she looked around and then dragged her to a quiet place... It felt... like she was being sneaky. She found it amusing and funny, and even more curious about their destination...
Finally, the two of them bent down like thieves and found a secluded pavilion. There was a rockery here to block the view. I don't know who designed it, it's perfect for "stealing chickens and dogs".
The first thing I saw were two other girls sitting at the square table. When they saw them come in, they all turned around to look, with surprised expressions on their faces... They gathered their sleeves together, as if there was something... Well, how should I put it, they had a similar feeling of stealing as Miss Su.
Now Yun Qian was certain that they must be doing something that their parents would not allow...
"You guys, are you short of one?" Yun Qian asked with amusement. The intuition she developed at the card table made her ask boldly... What a suitable table, and that look... Tsk tsk, it can only be said that it is exactly what these three people want.
Several people felt a kind of admiring "respect" for the new lady.
Miss Su acted like she had a keen eye for a "hero" and immediately pulled her to sit down... Yun Qian didn't refuse, but also said frankly that she probably didn't know how to play their cards...
As expected, in this imaginary ancient world, the cards they played were naturally somewhat different. However, after Yun Qian saw the snow-white leaf cards that the three of them took out from their sleeves, she seemed to understand a little.
Could this be the ancestor of modern character cards?! The gameplay is very similar to mahjong, sometimes even identical? It's been called hand-made mahjong...
Coincidentally, although Yun Qian has never played card games, she can play mahjong...
After the other two taught her once, they couldn't hide their delight at how quickly she picked up the game. After playing a round, they happily started chatting about their original partner, Ms. Wang, who hadn't shown up for some reason. They probably had been grounded again... Then they started talking about other things. As they chatted, Yun Qian realized something was amiss.
"Hey, guess why that person in the palace is in such a good mood recently?" Miss Gu asked happily.
"Tsk, do we even need to guess? How boring. Do you have anything new to say?" Everyone knows that His Majesty's mood depends on whether the mysterious queen is around. What's there to guess? It's just that his bad mood lasted unusually long this time.
"Oh, do you know this new sister? I've never seen you at any family banquet before. Are you from a family that just moved to the capital?"
She didn't want to be thrown to Yun Qian right away. On the surface, it was a casual inquiry, but in reality, she wanted to get a clearer picture of her background. Her sister, Miss Su, had always acted erratically and had been deceived many times since she was a child...
Well, actually, she was still thinking about whose identity to give herself. Now, both problems were thrown at her, so she had no choice but to play Tai Chi.
"Ha, I'm not exactly sure, but I know it's time for you to play your cards, sister."
Immediately, Miss Gu came to her senses and said, "Oh, yes, yes, sorry, let me take a look."
The design of these leaf cards was very ingenious, and to add to the fun, they had incorporated a "gambling" element into the game. They asked Yun Qian about it. After all, being here, they probably didn't need to worry about the prize money, but if they didn't want to, it was fine. Yun Qian just smiled and said it was fine.
When Yun Qian took out the gold ingot, the other three fell silent for a moment. What kind of family background did this person have? He started with gold...
But when Yun Qian was carefully familiarizing herself with it and exploring its subtle changes, Miss Gu seemed to remember that she didn't know where Yun Qian came from. She immediately asked, but to her surprise, none of the three of them knew.
