Wanyan Zhang remained silent, looking at Yun Jiao for a long ti before saying, "Now, it’s ti for you to prove your value."
Yun Jiao had been waiting for these words. She turned to the maid and said, "I need a cardboard, a bigger one, but not too thick."
"And paper, brush, and paint."
The maid glanced at Wanyan Zhang, and he nodded slightly. The maid then retreated.
The tent was left with just the two of them. Yun Jiao stared at Wanyan Zhang for a while, "The Second Prince must be quite troubled recently?"
Wanyan Zhang gave her a sideways look, "I captured the Supre Emperor and Emperor of Great Chu. I brought back millions of taels of silver, countless jewels, innurable won, as well as the craftsn and people of Great Chu. I have achieved feats unparalleled for Da Jin. What troubles should I have?"
Yun Jiao shook her head, "Precisely because your achievents are too great, too great for the Emperor of Jin Country to reward you, too great for the Crown Prince to not deeply fear you."
Wanyan Zhang sat up straight and shouted, "The Emperor and the Crown Prince are whom you, a re woman, can speculate about?"
Yun Jiao imdiately bowed her head humbly, "I wouldn’t dare. I just feel unjust for the Second Prince."
"I’m worried that when the Second Prince returns this ti, your military command might be taken away."
These words struck Wanyan Zhang’s heart. He snorted.
Yun Jiao said nothing more.
Her first step now was self-preservation; as for the rest, she had so preliminary plans in her mind, but it had to be approached step by step.
The maid quickly brought the cardboard, and Yun Jiao first cut out a shape, then had the maid follow suit to cut it into pieces.
She chose paint and brush herself and carefully started drawing on the cardboard.
Wanyan Zhang curiously walked over to take a look. At first glance, he was greatly disappointed. He thought it would be sothing interesting, but it was just so colorful drawings on the cardboard, with patterns he couldn’t understand and all he could say was it was barely perceptible.
Yun Jiao, eager to save ti, drew hastily, the intent was good enough.
After spending over an hour, she finally completed drawing a deck of playing cards.
Yun Jiao smiled at Wanyan Zhang, "First, I’ll teach you the cards, then we can start the ga."
After speaking, she touched her belly, "Ugh, I’m a bit hungry."
Wanyan Zhang waved his hand, and the maid went out. Before long, a group of maids entered in procession, setting a table full of dishes.
The dishes on the table were all dishes from Chu Country. Yun Jiao was not polite and, seeing Wanyan Zhang picking up his chopsticks, she began to eat without hesitation.
Wanyan Zhang lived a life now even more lavish than the forr Supre Emperor of Great Chu; it could be said that anything in the world was within his reach.
The Imperial Chefs from Chu Country and the chefs from Fan Building were now all serving him alone, racking their brains to devise dishes, fearing even the slightest dissatisfaction.
Yun Jiao didn’t care how rare these carefully cooked foods were; she simply chose what the baby in her belly needed and kept eating.
Wanyan Zhang was sowhat surprised, "Are you starved?"
Yun Jiao shook her head while whispering, "No, I just need to eat a bit more. I don’t know if there’ll be any al next ti." Especially this table, it’s full of nutrition!
These words made Wanyan Zhang raise his eyebrows slightly. Even after eating, he did not rush her, just watched her carefully select and eat.
Yun Jiao ate until her throat was stuffed, "Co, today you must learn to play this ga."
"Oh, there’s still one more person needed."
