cards all in one suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Yu’s hand was indeed correct, all in one suit of circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, counting the tile she’d drawn herself, she should have fourteen tiles, but she only had thirteen now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means she’s missing a tile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another busted hand,\" Chen Mo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The congratulatory smile on Die’Er’s face came to an abrupt stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Yu gritted her teeth and counted again; indeed, only thirteen tiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her teeth nearly bit through her thin lips, feeling quite unwilling, having painstakingly drawn an all-in-one suit herself, but ending up missing a tile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most frustrating part was she didn’t even know at which point she missed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A palace maid standing behind Consort Yu suddenly spoke up, \"Madam, it seems you played a tile during one round but didn’t draw.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Consort Yu was furious, turned around, and glared at her, \"Why didn’t you say that earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid trembled in fear and said, \"Your servant just... just remembered, madam, please forgive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fool, slap yourself.\" Consort Yu’s temper was already bad, and with a good hand being played out like this, she was instantly filled with rage and needed to vent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace maid behind her trembled and didn’t dare to protest, she could only comply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to slap her own face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo spoke, \"Consort Yu, we are in good spirits playing, don’t let the subordinates spoil the fun, let it go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, Consort Yu frowned and said, \"You even want to interfere with how I discipline my subordinates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, that’s not what I mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Chen Mo paused his speech for a moment, then faintly muttered, \"Madam, you really should temper your temper, this was your own mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting angry often can lead to premature aging,\" Chen Mo added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Yu: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, leave my presence.\" Consort Yu suppressed the fury in her heart and motioned for the palace maid behind her to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace maid knew this meant she wouldn’t have to slap herself, after giving Chen Mo a grateful glance, she bowed and retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scared Die’Er, who was standing nearby, quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Yu, have a lychee to calm down.\" Ye Wanqiu offered a fruit platter to Consort Yu at the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Yu picked one up and peeled it, eating it, then said after a moment, \"Strange, why doesn’t this lychee taste like what I usually have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she took another one, then said, \"These lychees from Wanqiu younger sister are a bit sweeter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Wanqiu just smiled and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, shall we continue?\" Chen Mo didn’t expose anything, then immediately said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s continue.\" After eating two lychees, Consort Yu stopped, glared at Chen Mo, and said, \"This time we must add some stakes to the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, it’s just a game for fun, gambling isn’t good.\" Chen Mo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes.\" Ye Wanqiu also nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be you’re afraid to play?\" Consort Yu used a provoking tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How does Consort Yu want to play?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo’s lips slightly curled, thinking to himself, you all learned from me, am I afraid to play?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Start with one tael as the base, then increase according to the level of the hand type, no upper limit.\" Consort Yu said grandly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she wasn’t favored, she wasn’t short of silver taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Wanqiu almost choked on the lychee in her mouth and said, \"Sister Yu, do we have to play this big?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering the palace, Ye Wanqiu was acquainted with the outside world, and a single tael of silver could buy many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is one tael a lot?\" Consort Yu, never handling accounts, wasn’t aware of the concept of a tael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, one tael it is.\" Chen Mo agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, your servant has no money.\" Die’Er said timidly with her head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll give it to you.\" Consort Yu said confidently, she just wanted to win against Chen Mo, eventually winning everything back, and get revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... don’t have any either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Wanqiu was also out of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had used some silver making a sachet for Chen Mo and buying spices previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she secretly purchased a piece of cloth, intending to make a robe for Chen Mo, which cost another sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her monthly silver taels weren’t much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father being an honest official, also couldn’t assist her much at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding up other expenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking carefully, she really had no money left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Wanqiu’s slightly embarrassed look, Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit pitiful and thought to himself, he’d have to support her with some silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, doing so openly in front of Consort Yu now wouldn’t be appropriate for Chen Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Yu furrowed her brows and said, \"Then what do we do? Without any stakes, playing this has no fun at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about slapping the palm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Wanqiu recalled the scene of being slapped on the palm with a ruler by the teacher during her studies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Childish.\" Consort Yu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Wanqiu blushed and said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo had many ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they all involved disrespect, so he dared not voice them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about drawing a turtle?\" Die’Er suddenly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drawing a turtle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Yu, Chen Mo, and Ye Wanqiu all were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s about drawing a turtle on the loser’s face, the winner draws on the face of the loser.\" Die’Er said shyly, blushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s an idea.\" Consort Yu’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Mo shook his head and said, \"This won’t work. If there’s a self-drawn thirteen wonders, flipping dozens of times, I’d have to draw dozens of turtles on your faces. That would tire me out, and your faces couldn’t hold that many.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slapping palms is more reliable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having her suggestion rejected, Die’Er also fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Consort Yu thought slapping palms was too bland, after thinking, Consort Yu said, \"No slapping palms, slap faces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consort Yu, are you serious?\" Chen Mo felt one slap might knock Consort Yu out cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, your servant doesn’t dare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Die’Er was a bit too scared to play after hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Consort Yu were good-tempered and easy to get along with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Die’Er might dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Consort Yu’s current temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Die’Er won and dared to slap Consort Yu, her ashes would be scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Yu, I also think it’s inappropriate.\" Ye Wanqiu was a bit afraid as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work, how do we play? You tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Yu glared at Chen Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo thought for a moment, then said, \"Shoulder massage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shoulder massage?\" Consort Yu was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, one minute as the base, if I self-draw, you all have to massage my shoulders for a minute. For all-in-one suit, fishing the moon from the sea, etc., calculate the time based on the hand type.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However many times it flips, that corresponds to how long the other players massage shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Consort Yu’s eyes lit up and she said, \"This is feasible. But with this, we can’t settle each round, it’s too troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then unify and settle after playing.\" Chen Mo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll have Qing Shuang do the calculations.\" Ye Wanqiu quietly interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they settled on massages as the stake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time I’m definitely going to win big.\" Consort Yu looked at Chen Mo, raising her eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-06T05:54:36.386Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd67b6d56a23c2afb31a3e224efd9d67539b406aa90327dfc7d1b256fd45d030","cultivation-simulator-starting-from-the-empress--chapter-134","cultivation-simulator-starting-from-the-empress--chapter-132",571,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-simulator-starting-from-the-empress--cover.jpg"]
