After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

Among the three women listening to the "story", the princess and Hongyu talked and laughed non-stop while listening, but Qiao Wan'er was the only one who did not smile. It was probably because she was a stranger among the group, so she seemed a little reserved.

Although the princess was crazy and silly, she probably noticed Qiao Wan'er's restraint at this time, so after laughing and joking for a while, in order not to make the palace maid from the outer palace look too cold, she deliberately found a way to talk to her: "By the way, Palace Maid Qiao, why are you here?"

Qiao Wan'er had already figured out what "Fuzhi" had dreamed. This dream was most likely fabricated by him. It was obvious that he was using the bride to refer to himself, saying that he was playing both sides. This was probably a reference to the incident where he helped Lord Fan block the stone yesterday. This guy was really petty.

So she was serious and sullen, but in fact she was sulking. When the princess turned her head and suddenly asked her such a question, she misheard a word and heard "Girl Qiao, why are you doing this?" as "Girl Qiao, why are you suffering?"

Because she was putting herself in the shoes of the bride, and had not yet come out of the play, after hearing such a question that she misunderstood, she was probably angry and confused, and actually thought that the princess was questioning her: "Bride, why are you doing this? Why are you playing bother?"

"I...I didn't! Really...really didn't?" Qiao Wan'er, who was still immersed in the play, immediately replied with a look of grievance and stumbling.

"Princess Qiao, did you hear something? Why did you say that? I was just asking why you didn't sleep well and have two dark circles under your eyes?"

"Ah... I... I did mishear just now." When Qiao Wan'er realized that she was too immersed in the play and misunderstood, she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I stayed up late last night to prepare the ingredients for making osmanthus cake."

During this time, she noticed a shifty gaze coming towards her, and the owner of the gaze had a malicious smile on his face.

After they finished talking, they started playing the money-shaking game.

Blowing money, commonly known as tossing copper coins, is a table game often played by children among folks. Four people sit around a table and take turns to be the banker. The banker tosses a coin, and the others guess the front or back of the coin.

The coin tosser holds five coins in one hand, tosses one coin up and then scatters four coins down. Before the coin tossed up lands, he quickly flips the four coins that land first with his fingers, adjusts their front and back sides, and when the last coin lands, he quickly covers all the coins with his palm. After observing the whole process, others say which side of the coin is covered by their palm. Those who guess correctly add chips, and those who guess wrong subtract chips, and finally record the win or loss.

In short, playing the money-making game is all about seeing who has quick eyes and quick hands, and people with quick eyes and quick hands are most likely to win money.

"Two positives and three negatives, Aunt Qiao, I guessed it right!"

"One positive and four negatives, Palace Lady Qiao, I guessed you right again."

"It's not three heads and two tails, but four heads and one tail. Aunt Qiao, you guessed wrong again!"

Qiao Wan'er had learned to play the money-shaking game since she was very young, and she considered herself an expert. But she didn't expect to lose repeatedly after several rounds.

Because she found that whenever it was Fuzhi's turn to winnow the coins, she would always guess wrong, and her attention would always be unconsciously attracted by the hand that fiddled with the coins. The fingers of that hand were slender and fair, and although there were some calluses on the palm from work, it did not affect its beauty, but instead had a sense of beauty that had gone through vicissitudes of life. Why didn't she notice it before? What would it feel like to hold such a hand?
Before I could imagine what it would feel like, a few copper coins had already been covered under the palm of that handsome hand.

This... I didn't see clearly how he fiddled with the coin, it would be strange if I could guess it!
Later, she discovered that when it was her turn to shake the money, "Fuzhi's" face would always interfere with her.

When she was shaking the coins, the other three would lean in to watch her carefully as she fiddled with the coins. Fuzhi was sitting opposite her, so his face would always enter her field of vision first. Then, Qiao Wan'er's eyes began to be obsessed with that face that was as sharp as a knife and an axe - how come the eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth were all as beautiful as a painting? How nice it would be if she could look at it like this for the rest of her life!
With his mind distracted, his hands fiddling with the coins were naturally random, so how could others not guess it?
She had to admit that "Fuzhi" was indeed "crazy in front of people". As long as she did various "tricks" in front of people, she would attract a lot of attention, such as shaking money at this time and throwing pots in the morning.

So, even though she was indeed angered by the content of his dream just now, when she saw the man's various fancy "fiddling" when shaking the money, she completely let go of herself and was attracted to him without any grudges, and she had all kinds of delusions.

Qiao Wan'er felt that she was so useless.

Later, she discovered another thing - Fuzhi was actually helping the princess cheat.

As long as Fuzhi was shaking the coin, the princess could guess it correctly, but Fuzhi basically couldn't guess it correctly. Hongyu could probably see the obvious cheating, but she just kept it to herself and didn't point it out. Only the princess was kept in the dark, because she was like a competitive little girl, and she wouldn't care about anything else as long as she won. Most children are like this.

Yes, when playing games with the princess, why bother to think about winning or losing? The first priority is to make the master happy.

Qiao Wan'er also knew that in order to make the princess guess the correct coin, "Fuzhi" must have used some special tricks - the guesser said the result of how many heads or tails there were, and the person shaking the coin would raise his hand in an instant to make the coin appear in the corresponding heads or tails position.

She knew about this trick because she had seen a street juggler perform in the village when she was a child. The juggler would move the coins to the corresponding positions according to the positive and negative numbers reported by the audience, and his technique was so fast that it was amazing.

I didn't expect that there would be such a heavenly being in front of me today.

Although she knew that Fuzhi cheated to please the princess, for some reason, Qiao Wan'er, who thought she was very generous, could not be generous at all. She felt all kinds of pain in her heart, and she muttered to herself: This person really knows how to please the princess? Why can't he please me? If he can cheat for the princess, why can't he cheat for me? I can't bear to watch myself lose so miserably!
The more I thought about it, the more chest tightness and shortness of breath I felt.

"Your Highness, Princess, Eunuch Yu Fu from Mingxin Palace requests to see you." The group was having fun when they suddenly heard a palace maid coming in from outside the door to ask for permission.

"Let him come in!"

Soon, the old eunuch Yu Fu walked into the hall and saw Qiao Wan'er sitting at the table. He seemed relieved and said, "Your Highness, I am here on His Majesty's orders to find Aunt Qiao and bring her back to Mingxin Palace."

Qiao Wan'er realized that someone was calling her and wanted to leave, but Ji Mingyue, who was in high spirits, grabbed her and said, "Wait, wait, play a few more rounds before leaving."

Seeing this, Yu Fu looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty said that Palace Lady Qiao should go back as soon as possible."

"Oh, this little nephew is the same. He misses me after not seeing me for such a long time?" The princess joked, "Gong Ren Qiao is so good at playing with the money. I can't bear to let her go!"

"Your Majesty said this morning that he would have Palace Maid Qiao deliver the things and return immediately. I didn't expect that he would be here..."

"Oh, I asked Palace Lady Qiao to stay here to play. Yu Fu, go back and tell His Majesty that I will keep Palace Lady Qiao here for another hour. She will definitely leave after an hour."

Yu Fu accepted the order helplessly and left angrily.

The three of them played with the princess for several more rounds, and in the end the princess made a lot of money.

The biggest loser was Qiao Wan'er, who owed the princess 24 cents, and owed Fuzhi and Hongyu 2 cents each. The princess just said to Fu that she was reluctant to let Qiao Wan'er go, not because she was good at shaking the money, but because she was good at losing money. The princess had never seen a playmate who was so good at losing money, and she was really reluctant to let her go.

During the game, Hongyu secretly told Qiao Wan'er that she didn't need to worry about losing money, because the princess was very generous and would often waive the bill if the servants lost a lot of money.

Qiao Wan'er secretly felt lucky that the princess was just trying to win for fun and not really wanting to win the servants' money... Of course, she was so noble that she should not be short of money... Otherwise, if she really paid so much silver, she would be so heartbroken that she would not be able to sleep for several days.

Qiao Wan'er looked at the princess expectantly, hoping to hear her forgive her debt. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw "Fuzhi" beside the princess looking at her with a sly smile, and she immediately had a bad feeling, and then she heard him say to the princess: "Your Highness, I remember when I was a kid playing with coins, if I really didn't have any money to lose, I could just imitate a dog's bark."

"Hahaha, what? Is it possible to do this? Then, Palace Lady Qiao, do you want to settle the account this way too?" asked the princess.
