"Master, don't be anxious. Let Madam drink the medicine first." Guyu said with a smile.

The previous bowl of medicine was just to wake Nanny Deng up, and the bowl that was served now was the medicine soup to help Nanny Deng clear the remaining poison in her body.

"I'm not in a hurry."

Qin Yaoguang hummed softly and said with a sweet smile.

When Nanny Deng woke up, her mood soared. She took out two decks of cards and started shuffling the cards on the table.

Counting on her fingers, she realized that she hadn't played poker for a long, long time. She couldn't help humming a song while shuffling the cards.

Guyu listened for a while and couldn't help asking, "Master, what song are you humming? It sounds a little strange to me, as if I have never heard it before, but it sounds really good."

They all breathed a sigh of relief when their master became more cheerful.

This unfamiliar melody was particularly pleasant to the ear, so he used it to joke with his master.

Uh……

Qin Yaoguang's shuffling of the cards paused.

What should she say? Should she tell her the truth that she was humming a modern pop song without realizing it?

"Who is playing the song Dong Feng Po on the pipa?

Years peel off the wall and I see my childhood"

This song was played everywhere in the streets when she was in middle school. She heard it so many times that it became her muscle memory, so she would hum it when she was in a very good mood.

Qin Yaoguang laughed and said, "I just hummed it casually. It's not a song."

"The master's song sounds so good even when he hums it casually. Why don't you compose a composition so that we servants can enjoy it as well?" Guyu said with a smile.

Qin Yaoguang's heart moved, and then he rejected this proposal in his heart.

She opened a stationery store in the hope of promoting the progress of social civilization as a whole through the reform of stationery.

What's the point of being a plagiarist?

If she wanted to, she could probably memorize at least 20 to 30 of the 300 Tang poems, as well as Song Dynasty lyrics and modern Chinese-style songs.

She is already the eldest princess, there is no point in seeking such fame.

People have limited energy. If you do this, you can't do that. Life is so short, she wants to focus on more meaningful things.

When Nanny Deng finished her medicine and went to the purification room and came back, Qin Yaoguang had already shuffled the cards and placed them on the eight-immortals table.

"You all sit down."

Guyu was quite hesitant, and even Nanny Deng didn't dare to do so.

How could they be equals in front of His Highness?

"Hey, don't spoil the fun."

Qin Yaoguang helped Madam Deng sit down and looked at Guyu: "Why don't you sit down quickly? Do you need me to invite you?"

Guyu didn't dare to do that, so he quickly pulled Xuelian to sit down together.

Both of them were leaning forward, with only half of their buttocks sitting. Qin Yaoguang felt tired just looking at them.

She walked over, pulled Xuelian to the other side, pressed her down and sat her down, then said in a domineering tone: "Everyone sit down properly, or your monthly salary will be deducted!"

Guyu secretly rejoices.

Well, since the master is in such a good mood, she can't be the one to spoil the fun.

So they all sat down.

Qin Yaoguang explained the rules of playing upgrade with poker. She was in a group with Nanny Deng, and Guyu and Xuelian were in another group.

The upgrade rules are simple. The only obstacle for them is to recognize the four letters JQKA that have never appeared before, because even the numbers are replaced by Chinese characters when Qin Yaoguang draws.

However, these four letters are very simple and can be remembered in a short time.

After trying it out for a while, a few people quickly got the hang of it and started playing.

The reason why we choose to upgrade instead of playing Landlord which only requires three people is because Landlord has gambling attributes.

Qin Yaoguang prefers game rules that require thinking and coordination.

However, Qin Yaoguang thought that once poker was accepted by people and spread, people would naturally invent new ways of playing with different rules, and she would not need to worry about it.

Oftentimes, people's ingenuity in games is the most amazing.

Upgrading is a game that takes time. After playing a few rounds, it was soon noon.

When Chun Ning stepped into the room, Guyu Xuelian hurriedly stood up to greet him.

She just waved her hand to let them get up, and curiously approached the card table, jokingly saying, "Well, I'm teaching the children in the Wind Chasing Courtyard, but what new tricks are you playing here, sister, and why didn't you call me?"

Qin Yaoguang put down the cards in his hand and said slowly: "I didn't call you, but you came anyway, didn't you? So the conclusion is, there is no need to call you."

"sister!"

Chun Ning stamped her feet in disapproval and went to Madam Deng: "Madam, look! My sister is bullying me!"

As soon as she arrived, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively with laughter and joy.

Xuelian gave Chunning her seat, explained the rules of the game to her, and then stood behind her to help her look at the cards.

After playing two rounds, Hanlu came in with the maid and set lunch.

Chun Ning didn't know that Nanny Deng had disappeared, so Qin Yaoguang didn't think of telling her specifically.

With her around, it's not her sister's turn to take responsibility.

After lunch, Chun Ning still didn't want to leave: "Sister, I just touched the cards, and you chased me away."

As soon as you learn it, you become addicted.

Qin Yaoguang coaxed her: "I haven't even figured out how to play with these new things! If you like them, we can go to the palace tomorrow and bring a few for mother to play with together."

Chun Ning then agreed and left reluctantly.

After she left, Chunfen came to report that Nanny Deng's family had already arrived. Knowing that she had returned home, they wanted to take her back to rest, but seeing that their masters were happy, they did not disturb them.

Qin Yaoguang personally sent Nanny Deng out and asked Guyu to take a letter of silver to her family, instructing them to take good care of her in the next few days and to come to her if they needed anything.

Aunt Deng wanted to refuse, but Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "Aunt, you can't treat me as an outsider."

At dinner time that night, the two people in the portrait had not been found yet.

Qin Yaoguang was not in a hurry either.

Her enemies are from aristocratic families, so it's not that easy.

Not knowing whether He's identity had been exposed, she decided not to contact He again for safety reasons.

As for safety, He is after all the second wife of the Cui family and the current mistress of the household.

On the second day, an unexpected person came to the Princess's Mansion - Wang, the former mistress of the Ningguo Mansion.

When Qin Yaoguang heard the report, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

You came uninvited, are you here to cry poor again?

She thought that bringing Wang out from the funeral hall of Old Madam Cui was the last fate between them.

Later, she heard people say that Wang had returned to her parents' home in Taiyuan, and there was no news of her after that.

How come you are coming to Beijing during the New Year?

"Master, Madam Wang asked me to bring you a gift. She said she begs Your Highness to see her."

Wang is her maiden name, "Niangzi" is the common name used by Dajing to address married women, and "Da" is her ranking in her maiden family.

Since she asked to leave, you can no longer call her Madam Cui.

As he spoke, Chunfen presented a brocade box.

When I opened it, I found it was a bronze mirror of extremely exquisite workmanship. The mirror surface was polished to a very bright finish, and a pair of lifelike mandarin ducks were carved in relief on the back.

The mandarin duck's eyes are made of obsidian, which is lively and natural.

Qin Yaoguang looked at the pair of mandarin ducks and her face suddenly turned red all the way to her ears.
