Chapter 96.1 – Come and play cards
When Zheng Yi went to the capital this time, he wanted to use the cards to win the empress dowager's favor. But he was not absolutely sure if it would work.
If the empress dowager didn't like it, it would be his defeat; all the cards he prepared in advance would be useless.
For this reason, Zheng Yi had been under a lot of pressure before. But at the moment, everything is finally over.
As soon as Zheng Yi entered the capital, he told Master Zheng about the cards, but in the first few days, Master Zheng did not have a chance to show it. It was not until a few days ago when the empress dowager asked him to discuss some business that he could mention to the empress dowager that he had got a very interesting thing from the south of the Yangtze River.
The Empress Dowager did not say anything at that time. It was only yesterday, when she sent people to find Lady Zheng and invited her to the palace, saying that Princess Ziyi was a little bored recently and was asked to bring some amusing things and accompany her.
Princess Ziyi, a young sister of the former emperor, because of her age difference with the former emperor, she was raised by him and the empress dowager. Now that she was old enough to choose her husband, she needed to start choosing her husband, which made her feel a little uneasy.
The empress dowager could understand her, so she let people make something interesting for her to play. After entering the palace, the second lady of the Zheng family accompanied princess Ziyi and played cards with her.
In the palace, Princess Ziyi could play with a lot of things, but she was tired of building blocks and dolls.
This Princess Ziyi was not very talented; she didn't like reading books, let alone playing with nine-linked rings. In the past, when she was bored, she could only do needlework, but now . . .
Modern people have mobile phones and computers that they can use to learn about the world, but many people would still use it to play cards with people, which showed the charm of cards, not to mention people from these days.
Nowadays, not to mention mobile phones and computers, even playing a little back and forth there was really too little entertainment . . .
Princess Ziyi, to no one's surprise, was fascinated by the playing cards. She didn't even want to eat on that day.
When the empress dowager heard that she was in high spirits, she came to see it herself. Then she saw the exquisite cards painted with plum orchids and bamboos, chrysanthemums and with the rather interesting playing method.
Jiang Zhen provided several ways to play cards, and Zheng Yi gave them enough elegant names.
For example, in the game of fighting the landlord, he checked many allusions and finally put a literary name to it.
The first thing the empress dowager and Princess Ziyi learned was the game, fighting the landlord, and they both had a good time. They were so happy that Lady Zheng could not leave the palace last night, so she had to stay in the palace all night.
Lady Zheng came back this morning, and as soon as she returned, she informed Master Zheng and Zheng Yi that the empress dowager was very fond of the cards and praised the ingenuity of the people who made them.
This card was undoubtedly loved by the empress dowager. In this way, Zheng Yi was naturally in a good mood at this moment.
So he let people wait outside for Jiang Zhen to ask Jiang Zhen to come over to explain some precautions, and preparing clothes for Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge was something he already ordered yesterday,
