Chapter 149: The Card Game is Like a Battlefield

Kangxi led the large army in the front, while Yihuan and other family members followed behind.

After getting on the carriage, Yihuan had been sleeping until lunch time when she woke up comfortably. She got up a little early, and she was too excited the night before to get much sleep. The carriage was shaking, and she fell asleep without realizing it.

Lunch was prepared by the chef who came with them. Yes, they not only brought a chef, but also all the necessary utensils to ensure that we could have hot food anytime and anywhere.

After finishing a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, Yihua wiped her mouth and said, "I wonder if Prince Beile and Honghui have eaten anything at this time."

Yuxue replied, "You just fell asleep. Eunuch Su came and said that you don't need to worry about him. The eldest prince is in the emperor's tent. He has enough food and drink, and no one dares to neglect the master. The master also said that when the emperor is stationed in the tent, you can go out for a walk, and he left guards to watch over you."

Yihuan nodded. Honghui was accompanying the emperor, so she was not worried. As for Yinzhen, she thought for a moment and ordered, "Ask Abao to bring some hot beef patties and stewed soup to Su Peisheng. If the master hasn't eaten yet, give them to him to fill his stomach. If the master has already eaten, let the people below share them."

Eunuch Abao quickly responded and went to run errands.

At this time, Yinzhen really didn't have lunch. The emperor had just started eating, and the imperial chef had to serve the emperor before it could be their turn.

So all the noble princes were waiting outside with hungry stomachs, smelling the delicious food wafting from the tent and cursing the old man in their hearts for being partial, because only the Prince of Zhi, the Crown Prince and several of the emperor's grandchildren were accompanying them for meals.

When Abao came over with the food box, several brothers turned their heads to look at him. It was because they smelled the aroma of beef.

Su Peisheng took the food box, whispered a few words in Yinzhen's ear, then took out his sword from his arms, cut the beef patties in the box, and distributed them to the gentlemen.

The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up, and he took it and swallowed it in two or three bites without caring about etiquette. "Fourth Brother is really thoughtful. I got up late this morning and didn't have time to have breakfast. I've been starving all the way here."

Yinzhen smiled and said nothing, feeling warm in his heart. Although it was a bit impolite for Yihua to deliver the things to the imperial tent, her heart was good.

The Eighth Prince chewed a few mouthfuls slowly and said jokingly, "I heard that the Fourth Sister-in-law is accompanying us this time. It turns out that the brothers are in for a treat."

After wolfing down the food, the Fourteenth Prince came up to Yinzhen and said, "Fourth Brother, I want more."

Yinzhen rolled his eyes and wanted to go find your wife: "No, bear with it, the meal will be served soon."

"You're so stingy." Fourteen nudged Thirteen and said, "Tell Fu Jin to bring some snacks over later. I'll give you enough!"

Thirteen took two steps back. He remembered that Fourteen didn't even wipe his hands after eating the meat pie, so he had to stay away from him.

******
After Yihuan had eaten, she became completely awake. She lifted the car curtain and looked outside. This place was not far from the capital, and the terrain, customs and people were not much different from those in the capital. It looked very familiar.

Yihuan took a deep breath. Hmm, it smelled like freedom.

The Ninth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Concubines saw some movement coming from Yihuan's side and got out of the car and walked over.

Seeing that there were just the right number of people, Yihua took out a deck of cards from the carriage and said, "Come on, come on, I've already thought about it. We have to fight to the death along the way."

If you are bored on the road, playing cards and chatting is the best choice.

The Ninth Lady said to a woman in white beside her, "Go back and have a rest. I don't need you to serve me here anymore."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on this woman.

After just one look, Yihuan sighed in her heart, what a beautiful face.

This woman's appearance was not the most beautiful, but her eyes and eyebrows were so charming that even a woman would want to protect her, let alone those grown men.

The Ninth Lady and she were so beautiful together that it was a little aggressive.

The woman lowered her head and spoke timidly: "I know I can't compare to you, but you and me have been very kind to me. I have nothing to offer, so I can only serve you and repay you a little."

Seeing that the woman was about to speak and the Ninth Concubine was already impatient, Yihuan smiled and said, "Young lady, you are not needed here. I will take care of your Concubine. Why don't you go back and have a rest?" The woman knew that the woman in front of her was someone that even the Ninth Concubine had to please. She opened her mouth, but finally retreated, but a tear seemed to fall from the corner of her eye.

The four wives in the carriage looked at each other in bewilderment. Wanyan frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

The Ninth Lady touched the leaf cards and said, "Let's play. Don't let her disturb everyone's fun."

Seeing that the Ninth Lady didn't want to say more, Yihuan and the others didn't pursue the matter further and spent the whole afternoon listening to the sound of shuffling cards.

Yinzhen and others followed Kangxi's carriage for a whole day without saying a word. When it was night and they set up camp, they were finally able to return to their tents to rest.

After taking Honghui away, Yinzhen and others came back and heard that their own carriage was very lively.

"No, no, how can you cheat, Fourth Sister-in-law? You have already played this card before, you can't change it!"

This is the voice of the Fourteenth Lady.

"I just took it out and haven't thrown it out yet, why can't I change it?! Besides, you've been winning all afternoon, can't you let me win?"

This is Yihuan's voice arguing for her point.

“Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth.”

This is the voice of the Ninth Lady trying to stop a fight.

"Yuxue, quickly bring some herbal tea to your wife to cool her down."

This was the sound of the Thirteenth Lady trying to hold back her laughter.

Yinzhen listened to the excitement and lifted the curtain, and found that the atmosphere inside was very lively, mainly reflected in the lively behavior of his own wife and fourteenth brother's wife.

Fourteen asked curiously: "What happened?"

Wanyan said quickly: "Fourth sister-in-law won't give me money if she loses."

"Huh?!" Yi Hua was so angry that her nose wasn't a nose and her eyes weren't eyes. "Don't talk nonsense. I haven't lost this game yet."

"Alright, alright." The Ninth Lady couldn't stop laughing. She shuffled the cards completely. "I lose this round. The money will be divided among everyone."

Seeing Yinzhen and others, Yihuan regained her rationality. There is no father and son in the card game. The Fourteenth Lady has bad playing skills. She must be killed without a single piece of armor left tomorrow.

Wanyan obviously thought the same thing. She got off the carriage and told the Fourteenth Prince, "Tomorrow I will make my Fourth Sister-in-law cry because of her defeat."

Yinzhen watched his brothers walk away, then looked at Yihuan: "What's wrong? Don't you have enough money to lose?"

"Who said I would lose!" Yihuan rolled her eyes in frustration. She only won one hand in the whole afternoon, and it was her first hand. What kind of luck was this? !

Honghui patiently put away the cards and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will teach you a few tricks tonight. I guarantee that you will be the banker and win everything tomorrow."

"Really?"

Yihuan was suspicious, and suddenly she felt something was wrong: "When will you learn to play?"

Honghui blinked his eyes and said, "My father taught me. Oh, by the way, mother, if the emperor has left some homework for you and you haven't finished it yet, it's the same if I let my father teach you. My father is more powerful!"

After saying that, he ran away.
