Then, Prince Anyang asked Xiao Qing about the situation.
After putting on a show of brotherhood with Xiao Qing, he finally gave up.
At night, the kitchen prepared a lot of braised meat, bacon, and sausages according to Prince Anyang’s instructions.
During the banquet, Prince Anyang and Liang Yu complimented the delicacies again.
After learning that Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao were going to the Zhou Manor tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with the Nangong Army, Prince Anyang immediately suggested that they go with them.
“It is their honor to have Your Highness there.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
She was worried that she would not be able to retrieve the prey she had hunted and cook them for the Nangong Army.
Now that someone wanted to reward the soldiers, she could save the money.
She did not care if Prince Anyang was trying to buy people’s hearts.
So what if they were bribed? They had no agenda anyway.
When Prince Anyang heard Lin Xiaoyue’s words, he became even happier.
“Men!”
“Your Highness!” A guard quickly entered the room.

“Yes, sir!” The guard quickly left.
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted.
“We thank Your Highness on behalf of the Nangong Army!” She hurriedly raised her glass at Prince Anyang.
How generous.
If these supplies were sent to the Zhou Manor, it would be enough to last them for more than ten days.
“You are too polite! The Nangong Army had fought on the battlefield and made great contributions to Great Yan. So what if I reward them a little?!”
As he spoke, Prince Anyang also raised his wine glass.
He drank with Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.
Liang Yu ate quietly at the side and did not say a word.
For some reason, he felt that his brother-in-law had been schemed against by the couple.
However, he could not find any evidence.
Also, even if he was, his brother-in-law was happy to do it.
Forget it. Anyway, it wasn’t his money.
The dishes were sumptuous and everyone was full.
Especially Xiao Yang, he almost ate to the point of bursting.
In ancient times, there weren’t many entertainment activities. It was a little uncomfortable to eat so much and sleep.
Xiao Yang suggested that Lin Xiaoyue take out the poker cards and they play together.
Li Xiao’s eyes were also filled with interest as he expressed his agreement.
When Prince Anyang and Liang Yu saw this, they were curious.
Therefore, under everyone’s request, Lin Xiaoyue went to get the poker cards.
Then, he taught Prince Anyang and Liang Yu how to play cards.
“There’s no point in playing like this. Let’s increase the stakes.” Lin Xiaoyue suddenly said.
Liang Yu’s gaze immediately became alert.
Xiao Yang was nervous. He did not have much money.
“What stakes?” Prince Anyang smiled.
He was very curious about the poker cards.
They looked special. He did not know where she got it.
“The loser gives the winner 1,000 taels of silver.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Liang Yu’s heart sank.
“Do we give 1,000 taels each, or together?”
Liang Yu couldn’t help but close his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis brother-in-law had not even started playing, and he was already thinking about giving money if he lost.
This meant that he was obviously going to agree.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “2,000 taels is too much. We are just playing cards for fun. 500 taels per person will do.”
“Besides, we haven’t even started playing yet. It’s hard to say who will win or lose in the end. It might not be necessary for His Highness and Young Master Liang to pay.”
“Haha, that makes sense! Then let’s play!” Prince Anyang smiled.
Liang Yu glanced at his brother-in-law and sighed helplessly.
Forget it, it’s only about 500 taels of silver.
Thus, Lin Xiaoyue and Xiao Yang formed a team, while Prince Anyang and Liang Yu formed a team. They started playing cards.
Li Xiao had nothing to do, so he went to give Xiao Yang some pointers.
After the game started, since Prince Anyang and Liang Yu didn’t know the trick, they made a few low-level mistakes and let Lin Xiaoyue and Xiao Yang win several times.
But soon, the two of them grasped the trick and began to catch up.
Especially Liang Yu, he was very good at memorizing cards.
After he became the banker, he actually led Prince Anyang to win three rounds in a row.
It forced Lin Xiaoyue to be serious in her playing.
She had to be serious. Otherwise, she and Xiao Yang might lose in the end.
Xiao Yang, that brat, didn’t have 500 taels. Wouldn’t she have to fork out the money?
1,000 taels of silver, how much food could she buy with that?
Thus, both sides quickly entered a tug-of-war.
After an hour, both of them were in a draw..
