Chapter 41: My concubine is also involved? The team heading to the royal enclosure quickly got ready and set Liu was addicted to a fantasy novel about the loser's counterattack, while Yun Chuhuan was no different from a primary school student on his first spring outing, excitedly chatting with Yun Shu about all sorts of things the whole time. It was not until the convoy left the city and walked for a while that Concubine Liu put down the novel, Yun Chuhuan retracted his chin that was resting on the window frame, and Yun Shu also closed his eyes silently. The three of them put on the masks of pain at the same time— "Why is this road so bumpy?" Yun Chuhuan, who thought that the luxurious carriage could solve everything, touched his chin which had just been hurt, and wanted to cry but had no tears: “Can’t we just fill it all in?” “The money spent on road construction is not a small amount.” Concubine Liu held up Yun Chuhuan's chin with a distressed look, and took out a jar of the best ointment: "It's all blue, does it hurt? Mother will give you some medicine. Don't lean your head or chin against the carriage anymore. What if you get knocked unconscious?" "I want to see the outside!" The excitement of participating in the autumn hunt for the first time only lasted for an hour before it was defeated by the bumps along the way. On the first day of the trip, Yun Chuhuan already started to regret it:
"It's so boring to just sit in a carriage and bounce around. If I had known, I wouldn't have come here." "If you don't want to participate in the autumn hunt next year, mother can help you find a reason, okay?" Concubine Liu coaxed him patiently: "The notebook your fifth sister gave me is so interesting, but mother hasn't read it yet, has she? Isn't it good for mother to chat with you guys for a while?" “But it’s really boring!” Yun Chuhuan started to get upset: "It's not five hours, it's five days! How can there be so much to talk about?" “That’s not…” "Want to play cards?" Yun Shu's sudden interruption made Yun Chuhuan, who was swaying and groaning in Concubine Liu's arms, sit up straight: "What is poker? How do you play it?" "The rules aren't difficult. Let me show you the cards first." Turning around, Yun Shu pulled out an inconspicuous little wooden box from her small bag and took out the ancient version of "playing cards" that she had made yesterday. Because there were no Arabic numerals and letters in this dynasty, Yunshu changed the content on the cards into words and other patterns according to local conditions, making them very easy to recognize: "Look, number three is the smallest, this big flower is the largest, and there is also a small flower. The big and small flowers together make the king bomb..." The basic rules of Landlords were not difficult. Yun Shu only gave a brief introduction, and Concubine Liu and Yun Chuhuan started playing with great interest and quickly became addicted to it. So, when the autumn hunting team stopped to rest, Emperor Xuanwu remembered Yunshu, his "spoiled" daughter, and on a whim asked Li Dehai to come and check on the situation. From a great distance, Eunuch Li heard Concubine Liu's excited voice: "King bomb! Then one on three!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Why do my cards always suck? Either three, four, five, six, but no seven, or even a pair of three. " The latter sentence, which sounded a bit frustrated, belonged to Yun Chuhuan. But the strange thing was that Concubine Liu, who had always doted on her son without limit and would worry if the Sixth Prince frowned, had no intention of comforting him this time. Instead, she became more excited:
"Then I'll play another pair of tens! Do you want it? I only have one card left! I..." "and many more." Yun Shu, who had been silent before, spoke calmly: "Four eights, exploded." There was another exclamation in the carriage. Although Li Dehai did not understand a word, he realized that the Fifth Princess was not as uncomfortable as His Majesty worried. He asked the guards beside the carriage about the situation in a low voice, and did not disturb Yunshu and the others. He soon returned to Emperor Xuanwu to report. Upon learning that Yun Shu was not only living a happy life, but also earned nearly 1,000 taels of silver from Concubine Liu and her son in just one morning, Emperor Xuanwu said: "..." Well, I had hoped that the Imperial Concubine could teach that silly boy, the Sixth Prince, a lesson so that he could become a little smarter in front of his Fifth Sister. Now even the imperial concubine is involved! That brat dares to cheat anyone! Emperor Xuanwu was so amused by Yun Shu's performance that he laughed: "Go, go again and bring that little bastard Yunshu to me!" "Yes." It was obvious that the emperor was not really angry, so Eunuch Li turned around happily and ran again. Not long after, Yun Shu came over holding a small wooden box. "Father, you are looking for me!" "What are you holding in your hands?" Seeing the little thing in Yunshu's arms at a glance, Emperor Xuanwu glanced at her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "For me?" "It is indeed a gift for Father!" Yun Shu nodded with a smile and handed the small box over: "This is called playing cards. If you have some free time, you can find two people to use it to relax and take a break." "card." Emperor Xuanwu snorted and laughed: "You used this thing to cheat Concubine Liu and the others out of a thousand taels of silver?" “How can this be called a pit?” Yun Shu was somewhat unhappy when she heard his words: “It’s just like playing chess, there are winners and losers. Your Highness and I just think it’s boring without any prizes, so we use silver as the prize. All that money was earned by my own ability." "Whatever you say makes sense." Emperor Xuanwu opened the box, took out the cards and took a look at them. The curve of his lips became more and more like a smile: "If I remember correctly, this piece of bamboo paper with cloud pattern that costs one hundred taels of silver is what you said you wanted to use to study the papermaking method, and you specifically asked me for it?" The papermaking technology of this era was in the hands of the Cai and Wu families.
It has a history of more than 700 years. Even if it is the emperor, there is no reason for him to ask for the ancestral technology right away. In the original book, the tyrant Yun Chuhuan was very unreasonable and asked for it directly after he ascended the throne. The result was that a number of aristocratic families, well aware of the truth that "if the emperor dares to take action against the Cai and Wu families today, he will dare to take action against us tomorrow", directly united to rebel. Although Yun Shu had a cheat, he entered the villa with his consciousness, picked up his phone and searched it for thousands of times, and he could find all kinds of papermaking techniques. But even if it's just for show, I have to first find a bunch of different types of paper and study them a little. Of course, because the price of some papers is ridiculously high, So Yunshu went directly to Emperor Xuanwu to ask for it with confidence. I didn't expect to have a minor car accident here. Fortunately, Yun Shu's mind worked quickly, and she found an excuse to make excuses in the next second. (End of this chapter)
