Chapter 331

Han Mingyuan opened the fire phoenix's hand and said, "didn't you say to be more reserved?"

"Oh." the fire phoenix let go of Han Mingyuan and stood aside with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Du Xiaoli glanced at Han Mingze. She thought that Han Mingze would recognize the identity of Fire Phoenix, but she didn't expect that he would not even be embarrassed. It seemed that she didn't care about her identity at all.

Is it because Han Mingyuan asked for love for the fire phoenix before?

"Anle."

"Chen Mei is here."

"You went to see the queen. How is she?"

"The recovery is much better than expected," said Du Xiaoli. "You can leave the cold palace in two or three days."

"That's good."

"Emperor, it's time to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager." father-in-law Shan reminded.

"Well, it's almost time. Let's go." Han Mingze got up and left. Han Mingyi and Han Mingyuan followed.

Out of the imperial study, the fire phoenix breathed a long sigh of relief and patted his chest, as if he had experienced great difficulties.

Outside the Forbidden Palace, red tea had been waiting at the door. When he saw Han Mingze, he saluted and said, "emperor, the Lord has been waiting for a long time."

"Aunt tea, please."

Tea with Han Mingze they entered the Forbidden Palace. It is reasonable that the queen and the imperial concubine should come with them. However, because the queen is recovering, the Empress Dowager has no good feelings for other concubines, so only Han Mingze and others came in.

"I've met the emperor's grandmother. I wish the emperor's grandmother good health in the new year." Han Mingze took everyone to salute the Empress Dowager.

"Get up." the Empress Dowager said faintly, "there are a lot less people coming to pay New Year's greetings this year!"

"But there are new people," Han Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Well, the AI family knows that you have married a daughter-in-law outside." the Empress Dowager said, "this is not a child's play. You should not be so hasty."

"My grandson knows his mistake," Han Mingyuan said with an arched hand.

"OK, I know it's just a lip service. It's not one thing or two for you to get on the boat and buy tickets. Fortunately, AI family didn't have any hope for you at the beginning, otherwise it must be angry with you."

"Grandson knows that grandma Huang loves me." Han Mingyuan said with a smile.

"If I don't clean you up, someone will clean you up." the Empress Dowager said, then she waved to the fire phoenix and said, "is that the girl?"

When the fire phoenix came out, he saluted the Empress Dowager and said, "the Phoenix has seen the Empress Dowager."

"Phoenix?" when she heard the name of the fire phoenix, the Empress Dowager was stunned. Then she smiled and said, "it's the same name as the patron saint of Fengming country."

"Thank you for your praise."

The Empress Dowager looked at Menggu. Menggu took a tray from the back and came to the fire phoenix.

"Although your wedding was not held in the capital and the mourners didn't drink your tea, this gift can't be less," said the Empress Dowager.

The fire phoenix looked at Han Mingyuan, saw him nod slightly, reached for the gift and said, "thank you for your gift."

"Don't stand any longer. Come and play cards with the mourners," said the Empress Dowager. "Although something happened last night, put it aside. Deal with it tomorrow."

"Yes."

Everyone followed the Empress Dowager to the side hall and was slightly surprised to see the mahjong inside.

"This is what Mingxiang asked someone to make for AI's family before he got married." the Empress Dowager said, "it's said that Xiaoli can play. I've been studying this recently. It's just that you came today. Let's play with me."

"How to play this?" Han Mingze asked suspiciously, having never seen mahjong.

"This is actually very simple," Han Mingyuan said. "Emperor, we'll teach you."

"Well, it's very simple. Just teach some tuition fees," Han Mingyi said.

"Pay tuition?" Han Mingze looked at Han Mingyi puzzled.

"The actual operation is better," Han Mingyuan said.

The Empress Dowager had sat down at the table, so Han Mingze, Han Mingyi and Han Mingyuan followed.

The first one was very slow. While playing, he taught Han Mingze. Then from the second one, everyone began to bet.

After playing a few games, Han Mingze understood what they meant by paying tuition fees, because after a few laps, he had lost more than 1000 liang of silver.

Du Xiaoli and fire phoenix watched. Fire Phoenix didn't understand, so they just sat next to Han Mingyuan. Du Xiaoli is also a casino expert. She sits next to the empress dowager, shows her cards and gives her advice from time to time.

This royal seed is really excellent. Although Han Mingze first came into contact with mahjong, after paying more than 5000 liang of tuition fees, he began to pursue and no longer lost alone.

But no matter how they calculate, they can't paste the cards of the empress dowager, so the Empress Dowager plays and earns steadily.

Thinking that the Empress Dowager asked her to show her cards at the beginning and shared the money equally, Du Xiaoli was happy.

Han Mingyi looked at Du Xiaoli's eyes shining, and his face was full of a spoiled smile. It is inconceivable that the most distinguished group of people in the Dynasty should get together to play mahjong. They didn't finish until before the dinner. The Empress Dowager won a lot of money and was in a good mood. So she went out to the dinner with them. Later, Du Xiaoli knew that in fact, on the first day of the new year, the ministers should go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. However, because the follow-up of the previous night was not handled, Han Mingyuan brought a princess back, so the time for the ministers to enter the Palace was delayed by one day. So the party that night was just a family party. Only some people related to the royal family came. When we came in the afternoon, we didn't see Han Mingze and his people. When we asked, we knew that they had gone to the Empress Dowager. We thought there was something important that would stay so long. If we knew that they were playing mahjong, we didn't know whether they would spit blood. After dinner, Du Xiaoli and his family left the palace and went home. Han Mingyi sent her to the prime minister's house before she went back. Du Xiaoli saw that his carriage was useless to go and come back. He thought he wouldn't need a carriage next time. Du Yunhan and Du Xiuheng didn't rest because they knew that Du Xiaoli had entered the palace. They were busy in their yard. When they heard that Du Xiaoli came back, they fell asleep at ease. The next day, they opened the door and began to visit each other to pay New Year's greetings. Of course, many guests came to Du Fu's house. Du Xiaoli didn't come out in her yard. She didn't care about those official dealings, and she was a second-class princess. It didn't matter if she didn't go out, so she just went out for dinner at noon, and then went back to her house. On the third day of junior high school, Du Xiaoli went to see Mrs. Meng and paid her new year's greetings. He stayed in his yard for the next few days.
