Chapter 134 Qing Dynasty Eighteen Arhats Pole Open Sea Bottom Fishing for the Moon

The reason Lady Yu Fei said she wanted to add stakes.

Was nothing more than to use it as an excuse to teach Chen Mo a lesson.

So in the subsequent game, Lady Yu Fei seemed to have her eyes fixed on Chen Mo.

Ye Wanqiu and Die’Er gave her winning chances, but she ignored them.

But as long as it was Chen Mo who gave her a chance, no matter how small, Lady Yu Fei would win.

Moreover, Die’Er was Lady Yu Fei’s palace maid.

She would naturally help Lady Yu Fei.

With just a glance from Lady Yu Fei, Die’Er would play the card Lady Yu Fei wanted.

Even disrupting her own hand to create opportunities, preventing Chen Mo from getting the cards.

So, when the day turned to dusk.

Chen Mo owed Lady Yu Fei almost two hours of shoulder massages.

This made the corners of Lady Yu Fei’s lips and eyes rise with delight.

"Let’s finish this hand and stop. I need to go back and have dinner." Lady Yu Fei knew when to stop, as she felt her luck begin to turn.

If she continued, she’d probably lose it all back.

"Alright."

The three of them nodded.

Time passed second by second.

As Chen Mo picked up the tile.

When he drew the card he wanted, Chen Mo smiled slightly, "Sorry, pure eighteen Arhats with a kong opening and fishing the moon from the sea."

Chen Mo pushed the tiles in his hand, then added the konged tiles to the mix, organized them for the three women to see.

Two six-bamboos.

Four one-bamboos.

Four three-bamboos.

Four five-bamboos.

Four seven-bamboos.

The three women were all stunned. Although they didn’t quite understand, they all felt an overwhelming sense of awe.

Lady Yu Fei’s mouth hung open, then she said, "Wouldn’t so many tiles count as a false win?"

"These are tiles from a kong, so they don’t count." Chen Mo replied.

"How many times does this multiply?" Ye Wanqiu asked puzzledly.

Although Chen Mo had explained the points value of this hand to her, as a beginner, she still couldn’t calculate it.

"Let me think..."

As Chen Mo thought, he ticked things off on his fingers and then said, "A pure suit with eighteen Arhats is 1,024 times, with kong opening and fishing the moon from the sea, totaling 2,048 times.

Based on a minute per point, you collectively owe me 2,048 minutes."

"I owe Consort Jing 24 minutes, I’ll write it off for her, and have her massage me for 2,000 minutes, let’s just round it to a day."

Chen Mo looked over at Ye Wanqiu.

Ye Wanqiu blushed and nodded.

Having given her body to him, what’s the difference now?

Hearing 2,048 minutes.

Lady Yu Fei was completely stunned.

Her body started trembling slightly.

A day isn’t even 1,500 minutes.

2,048 minutes.

It’s almost a day and a half.

Massaging for that long, wouldn’t your hands be destroyed?

Then Chen Mo turned his gaze to Lady Yu Fei, "Lady Yu Fei, same for you as for Consort Jing, it’s a day.

Die’Er as well.

If your hands get tired, you can split it up, half an hour a day is fine."

With a smile, Chen Mo looked at them.

Lady Yu Fei’s composure almost collapsed.

Not winning with a big hand would have been fine.

But being beaten by Chen Mo’s huge win was hard to accept, so she quickly said, "You... you cheated."

"Where’s the evidence?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand, then chuckled, "A lady’s word is like gold, surely she wouldn’t cheat?"

"You..."

Cornered by Chen Mo, even if Lady Yu Fei wanted to back out, it wouldn’t be possible, otherwise she’d lose face, so she quickly said, "I’ll... have Die’Er repay it for me."

After saying that, she glanced at Die’Er.

Die’Er quickly nodded, "I’ll help repay it for you."

"No, you still owe me quite a bit yourself." Chen Mo said, then turned back to Lady Yu Fei, "As a noble, you wouldn’t refuse to play, right?"

With Chen Mo’s veiled taunts.

Lady Yu Fei’s face turned red with anger.

Even though she had a bad temper, she wasn’t truly one to cheat or refuse to play, so she quickly said, "A loser has to accept defeat, a day it is.

But today I’m not feeling well, let’s start... tomorrow."

Saying that, Lady Yu Fei left dejectedly with her palace maid.

"Qing Shuang, go prepare dinner."

Ye Wanqiu, seeing Lady Yu Fei and the others leave, also found a way to politely send Qing Shuang out.

"Yes."

...

A moment later, in the bedroom.

Only Ye Wanqiu and Chen Mo were left.

Ye Wanqiu’s face was slightly red, her feminine restraint made her freeze.

But Chen Mo couldn’t help himself, wrapping his arm around Ye Wanqiu’s waist and pressing his lips to hers.

As the kissing deepened, Chen Mo pressed her beneath him, her skirt half undone, revealing the bodice beneath.

"Mmm... no, you still have to go to Shenxiao Temple later."

A moment later, Ye Wanqiu pushed against Chen Mo’s chest, avoiding his kisses, her breath sweet with a hint of frustration, her slightly blushed cheeks still glistening with perspiration.

"A large area of bamboo at Shenxiao Temple has withered, and the entire Celestial Forest Garden is sealed off to investigate the cause. We probably won’t need to go there for a few days..."

Chen Mo removed Ye Wanqiu’s shoes.

Ye Wanqiu’s face flushed, then she said, "Do you think Lady Yu Fei will obediently comply?"

Chen Mo knew what she was alluding to, immediately saying, "She’s someone who cares about face, she probably won’t. Even if she does play unfairly, that’s fine, as a witness, every time she sees you, she’ll think of today’s incident. If she does cheat, she’ll surely avoid you, not daring to face you, so you won’t have to worry about her bothering you."

"What if she does comply?" Ye Wanqiu added.

"That’s also good, after serving others for so many days, it’s my turn to enjoy a bit." Chen Mo laughed.

Ye Wanqiu gave him a sidelong glance.

Chen Mo kissed her red lips, then patted her bottom, telling her to turn over and lie down.

"You..." Ye Wanqiu murmured in dissatisfaction.

"Be good."

"You only know how to mess with me." Ye Wanqiu bit her lip, but still listened to Chen Mo.

...

...

Outside Jingru Palace.

Chen Mo looked up at the full moon in the sky, raised a hand to rub his brow, a touch of helplessness in his eyes.

Ye Wanqiu’s nature was very compliant.

Whatever Chen Mo wanted to do, with a bit of coaxing and persuasion, Ye Wanqiu would agree.

But after all, the Imperial Palace wasn’t the place for such matters.

There were too many people and eyes.

And considering Chen Mo’s identity.

Each time wasn’t entirely satisfying.

...

Just as Chen Mo expected.

The Celestial Forest Garden remained sealed.

Chen Mo couldn’t enter.

But Lin Su Ya entrusted Zhao Fujin with the task of teaching.

Instructing Zhao Fujin to pass on what she was taught to Chen Mo.

In the courtyard outside Zhao Fujin’s chamber at Fengyang Pavilion.

Zhao Fujin wore a pale-yellow long dress, her long, silky black hair held in place with a few strands of string, a green jade hairpin in her bun.

Her face was untouched by powder, exuding a natural beauty that glowed without adornment, her purity akin to a budding lotus flower, exuding an elegant and unearthly charm, with a hidden allure and a gentle yet resolute coolness.

She was truly beautiful.

Every time she wore a different outfit that Chen Mo had not seen, it would stun him anew.

At the moment, Zhao Fujin was also carefully scrutinizing Chen Mo, then stared into his eyes and said, "I always feel like there’s something you’re hiding from me..."
