Chapter 38: Plum Blossoms

Xin Yi and Li Jingting turned their heads at the same time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xin Yi's eyes rippled slightly, but Li Jingting's face was a little ugly.

Jiang Li didn't go to the main entrance, he sat on the window lintel, his posture was leisurely and elegant like admiring the moon and chanting poetry, his face was ethereal like a fairy in the moonlight, his waist-length ink hair was lightly brushed, and he wore a plain shirt and slightly opened the placket, revealing the skin like a jade carving, which added a little charm.

He was holding a celadon wine jug in his hand, his eyes were a little drunk, he raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and then glanced at Xin Yi meaningfully: "Tonight, I had a small gathering with my old friends, and I drank more plum wine for fifty years, and I drank too much of it, so I missed the time." ”

Somehow, Xin Yi was relieved. He only broke his promise because of the wine, not because he didn't want to.

At this time, Li Jingting came in a deep voice: "The chess boy is late." Even the main hall is one step earlier, and the son is about to excuse himself. ”

Jiang Li glanced at Li Jingting, saw that he was dressed in rivers and lakes, and said with a joke: "What a big breath! Could it be that the thief on the beam is also the king of the mountain?"

The corners of Li Jingting's mouth twitched, he took off the black cloth covering his face, and said majestically: "See who this hall is, and dare to talk nonsense." ”

Jiang Li's mocking smile became stronger: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Third Prince." This is Xin's mansion, not your mansion. Besides, when I went to His Highness's mansion to play against His Highness, His Highness didn't win half a time. ”

"Presumptuous. Li Jingting let out a low shout, his gaze went back and forth between Jiang Li and Xin Yi, "Is the chess boy here to see the chess skills of the Xiaoben Palace, or is he here to save the beauty of the hero?"

Jiang Li didn't look at Xin Yi, but stared at Li Jingting, his eyes a little faint: "Your Highness, what are you doing today?"

Li Jingting smiled lowly, and his face was a little strange: "I'm afraid I have to ask Childe first, what is Childe here for tonight?"

Xin Yi, who was left aside, was confused. However, Jiang Li's next sentence made her pupils shrink suddenly.

Jiang Li's eyes deepened, like the sea water in the abyss: "You are finally here, Third Highness." ”

Finally, the two words were bitten by Jiang Li as if they burst out from between her teeth, so cold that Xin Yi's heart moved, she couldn't care about Li Jingting on the side, so she blurted out: "Chess boy, what do you mean by this?"

She couldn't tell why she was in a hurry at that moment. She was so sensitive that she guessed just because of the word "finally", and she was so scared that she wanted to confirm it herself.

Even if she already had a bad premonition in her heart, she still didn't want to admit it to herself.

Jiang Li's throat moved, he looked away, and did not answer.

Li Jingting sneered a little sarcastically: "Miss Xin, you haven't seen it clearly, the purpose of the chess boy approaching you for a while is just to deliberately test me." He calculated for days, and I finally came, and he won the set. Pretty. ”

Xin Yi only felt a rumbling noise in his head, and said in a daze: "Your Highness is not here to kill me......

"That's the purpose, too. But one thing you forget is time. Li Jingting glanced at Yu Leak, "Twenty-four hours a day, why did I come at this time, I was sure that I would meet Jiang Li." I'm killing two birds with one stone. One of the carvings is approaching you to test me, and the other is ......."

Li Jingting lengthened his tone and teased Jiang Li with a reverie: "Another carving, is it by the way to sleep in the willows, and the red sleeves add fragrance?"

"I am innocent with Miss Xin. Jiang Liwu responded, his eyes didn't notice that they met Xin Yi's gaze, and he hurriedly moved away.

Xin Yi felt that his whole heart was like a thousand catties of big stones tied to it, and he was sinking endlessly in the abyss.

She didn't seem to feel anything, and she seemed to be in pain.

"There is Lao Gongzi. Xin Yi stepped forward and saluted Jiang Li. This is the salute they have seen each other for a while, but no one responds to the "girl's politeness".

Xin Yi tried his best to calm his voice, as if he didn't care about anything at all: "Dare to ask Childe, is the flute playing in a dream or outside a dream?"

Jiang Li's face was as cold as when he first saw it, except for a slight ripple after hearing Xin Yi's question, but it was only an instant, and it was back to the same as before.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't answer, Xin Yi took another step forward and said softly: "Dare to ask Gongzi, chess, is it right or wrong?"

Jiang Li took a deep breath and replied expressionlessly: "My son said that it is necessary to count every son right and win every step." ”

"But Childe also said that chess was played wrongly. As soon as Jiang Li's voice fell, Xin Yi raised his tone a little anxiously.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, and he finally turned his head to look at Xin Yi, but his eyes were still calm and unfamiliar: "That's right." ”

"So, the wrong move is also a step in Childe's calculations?"

Xin Yi thought about it, and immediately showed a smile, and his eyes were dark with a smile.

Jiang Li didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence. He shook the wine jug in his hand and said lightly: "Green plum wine should be drunk while it is hot, so as not to damage its taste." This wine is a little cold, please Miss Xin warm the wine for me and His Royal Highness. ”

Xin Yi took the wine jug with the same face as ever, made a blessing, and turned to leave.

But when she came out to a secluded corner, the smile on her face froze instantly, and turned from cyan to pale at a terrible rate. And such a pale little face, but there is no expression, even the eyes are wooden, and there is no focus.

Xin Yi froze for a moment, then she suddenly lifted the celadon wine jug and slammed it to the ground.

A sharp stabbing sound. The flask shattered to the ground. The porcelain pieces and bones are splashed everywhere, and the fragrance of green plum wine is overflowing, but it exudes a wisp of coolness.

The wine was so cold that she shivered all over her body, as if she had woken up from a dream, and her face was back to the same as before.

"It's a pity. Xin Yi looked at the wine jug on the ground for a while, and then calmly went to the kitchen. She has to change the pot of good wine again, and she has to get a good wine jug, otherwise she can't afford to lose other people's century-old plums.

And the Jade Hall Pavilion here. Since Xin Yi went out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little stagnant.

Jiang Li didn't care that Li Jingting was the prince, so he sat down and sat in a posture of invitation: "Your Highness, please." ”

Li Jingting frowned, didn't say anything, and sat down opposite: "Outside the Yutang Pavilion are the shadow guards of the main hall, so what you and I say here is definitely not known to the third person." ”

Jiang Li smiled noncommittally: "Your Highness will say it first, or will I say it first?"

"It doesn't matter. Li Jingting's expression gradually became solemn, and a restrained light rose from the bottom of his eyes.

Jiang Li held his head with his right hand leisurely, and said unhurriedly: "I borrowed Xin Yi to test His Highness, just to determine whether she is a pawn or an outcast of His Highness." After all, after this woman made trouble with the Lu family's resignation, the whole chess game became interesting. ”

Li Jingting's heart moved. He remembered that after Xin Yi was suspended, he secretly summoned him, only to find out where the chess game was, but her, and her chess piece had become interesting.

It is obviously a chess piece called a wooden ruler, but it seems that it is not controlled by anyone and is not accommodated by any party.

If the chess player is using her, then she is also using the chess player.

is incompatible with the chess game, but no one can ignore her.

"So, what is the purpose of the chess boy after he comes up with this answer?" Li Jingting shook off his distant thoughts and forced his gaze towards Jiang Li again.

"It's about how my next son will end. It's like if I want to cross a river, I have to find out the depth of the river before I can decide whether to cross the river, by boat, or if it's too dangerous to cross at all. ”
