Chapter 123 Something bad happened
After Die'er brought the playing cards, Princess Tianning washed them professionally. She and Ji Anni sat face to face, with two glasses of wine filled to the brim placed beside them. It was originally just a small competition between the two of them, but Baogui Fei, Yun Zhen and Yizhen all gathered around because of their concerns. Yizhen wanted to persuade them, but she didn't dare to speak.
"Princess, you go first." Ji Anni placed the stack of face-down poker cards in the middle of the table.
Princess Tianning revealed the first card, which showed a mistress.
Ji Anni smiled and said confidently, "Princess, let's make a deal first. The winner will be decided after three rounds. You can't cheat."
As he spoke, he turned over the second card, and a small six appeared on it.
Princess Tianning pouted her lips. Although she was not convinced, she was willing to accept the defeat and drank the glass of wine in her hand obediently.
But she couldn't drink much, and after just one glass of wine, her cheeks immediately turned red like tomatoes.
Ji Anni was afraid that she was drunk, so she asked worriedly, "Princess, are you okay?"
"Stop talking nonsense and come again!" Princess Tianning waved her hand. From her movements and eyes, it can be seen that she was really a little drunk.
Strange, this wine must have been mixed with water...
Ji Anni looked at Hua Rong. Hua Rong's face remained unchanged, and she didn't react at all. It was hard to tell what she was thinking. Ji Anni sniffed the wine and found it very strong. It didn't seem like it was mixed with water, but it was like a very strong wine.
"What? You don't dare to compete?" Tian Ning's eyes became a little unfocused, and he saw five or six double images of Ji Annie.
Without waiting for Ji Anni to answer, she turned over the third card, which was a nine.
"Haha." Princess Tianning laughed triumphantly and grabbed Ji Anni's hand, as if she was afraid that she would run away. "You are doomed to lose this time."
Ji Anni is not afraid of losing, but afraid of not losing. Because looking at Princess Tianning's current state, even if she is not drunk, she is only three-quarters sober.
Ji Anni quickly turned over the card below and saw that it was a small six. Without waiting for Princess Tianning to urge her, she obediently picked up the wine glass and drank the glass of water.
After drinking one cup, a hot current rushed from the throat into the stomach, as if a raging fire was burning.
Oh my god... Why did Hua Rong bring such a strong liquor? Did she want to drink the princess and herself to death?
Ji Anni cast a puzzled look at Hua Rong, but Hua Rong remained motionless, watching the situation. But Die Er saw that Ji Anni was a little bit unable to hold on, so she hurried over to help her, and her concerned eyes seemed to ask: My lady, are you okay?
Actually, Ji Anni used to be able to drink quite well at home, but today, probably because the wine was too strong, she couldn't hold it back. In addition to the burning sensation in her throat, she also began to feel dizzy.
But Princess Tianning refused to let her go. She held her wrist tightly and said, "Concubine Zhao, now we both have one win and one loss. The last round will decide the winner!" Her mouth was full of the smell of alcohol as she spoke, but her determination to never admit defeat supported her tenaciously.
"Princess, I'm not hiding. Please let me go first." Ji Anni pushed Tian Ning away with all her might.
Tian Ning's upper body seemed to have gone limp, and she lay on the table. She stared at the stack of cards in front of her nose with drunken eyes, and turned over another card without giving up. After looking at it for a long time, she finally saw the word "Princess" written on it.
"Haha, you're bound to lose!" Princess Tianning laughed.
She was already half drunk, and now in her mind, which only had a trace of rationality left, she probably thought that nothing in the world could be bigger than her. Without waiting for Ji Anni to turn over the cards, Tian Ning excitedly turned over the next card for Ji Anni.
Unexpectedly, the word "Emperor" appeared clearly on it.
Ji Anni also laughed and poured wine for Tian Ning while saying, "Haha, Princess, you lost again."
Tian Ning did not take the wine glass, but just stared at the two cards "Princess" and "Emperor" with a hint of resentment.
The people watching on the side were all dumbfounded and their expressions immediately became nervous.
Ji Anni's deck of cards is quite special. What's special about it? When she hand-painted this deck of cards, she took into account that the ancient people's ability to accept English letters was probably weak, so she deliberately used "Queen Mother", "Prince", "Princess" and "Emperor" to replace AJQK respectively, and used Black and White Impermanence to replace the Big Ghost King and the Little Ghost King.
I thought I could help them understand it more simply, but unexpectedly I got into trouble today.
According to the rules that Ji Anni had taught Princess Tianning before, Tianning actually knew that the emperor was older than the princess, but this was a crucial game that would decide the outcome. In addition, Tianning was already about seven or eight points drunk, and her unreasonable temper was even worse than before.
She pointed at the "Princess" and "Emperor" cards and asked loudly, "Why is the Emperor bigger than the Princess? Why do I have to lose?"
When Concubine Baogui heard this, she knew something was wrong, so she stepped forward and grabbed Ji Anni's shoulder and said, "Sister, this game doesn't count. Can you start over?"
What Tian Ning hated most was when someone interrupted her when she was talking. She straightened up, waved her hand, pushed Guibao Fei, and shouted, "Why do we have to start over? This princess wants to decide the outcome of this game!"
Baoguifei had a relatively soft physique, and when Tianning pushed her, she leaned backwards and was about to fall. Fortunately, Yun Zhen arrived in time and supported her.
Tian Ning pointed at Yun Zhen and asked, "Master, tell me, who is more powerful, the emperor or the princess?"
Seeing that Tian Ning was already drunk and crazy, Ji Anni quickly said, "Princess, isn't it okay for me to lose? Don't make a fuss."
"This princess is not making a fuss!" Tian Ning slammed the table and stood up, rushing forward and grabbing Yun Zhen's clothes tightly, insisting on getting to the bottom of the matter, "Imperial Master, please speak up. Who is older, the emperor or the princess? Who lost this round?"
Yun Zhen didn't dare to answer such a question easily, as no matter what he said, he would get into trouble.
"Master, are you mute?" Tian Ning's voice suddenly became sharp, almost screaming.
"Princess, you are drunk. Yun Zhen will take you home first." Yun Zhen supported Tian Ning's staggering body.
"I'm not drunk!" Tian Ning waved him away and shouted, "I know, you all think the emperor is great, you all think I should lose! What's so great about him being an emperor? He was born of a palace maid. He was imprisoned in the Qi Palace for so many years, and just because he was a man, he came back to become the emperor. This princess was born to the queen mother! This princess inherited the most noble bloodline, why should I be younger than him!"
"Princess..." Baogui Fei couldn't bear to listen any longer and almost begged her, "Princess, please stop talking."
"Did I say something wrong?" Tian Ning glared at him, pushed away Yun Zhen who was blocking Concubine Baogui, and pulled Concubine Baogui's arm, saying, "I just can't stand your face that looks like the sky is about to fall! I hate being pointed at the most! Do you think you are dignified? Do you think you are virtuous? You pretend to be kind and gentle and think that everyone in the palace has been fooled by you!"
"Tianning, shut up!" Ji Anni couldn't bear to listen anymore, she slammed the table and stood up.
"No!" Tian Ning became more and more addicted to talking, and the more she talked, the more she went too far. She even pointed at Concubine Baogui and cursed, "Others dare not say anything about you, but I dare - you are a slut who served the late emperor and now serves the late emperor's son!"
"You!" Ji Annie rushed forward, raised her right hand high, and was about to slap Tian Ning in the face.
But Yun Zhen stopped Ji Anni's hand.
"Don't stop me!" Ji Anni turned around and yelled at Yun Zhen.
Yun Zhen pushed Ji Anni away expressionlessly and stood in front of Tian Ning.
"What are you doing?" Tian Ning raised his chin, as if a little scared, and took half a step back.
With a "slap" sound, Yun Zhen slapped Tian Ning on the face.
Tian Ning was not standing steadily to begin with, and after being hit by Yun Zhen, he rolled down the stairs.
There was a small pond just below the steps. With a splash, Princess Tianning fell into the water.
