There were braziers burning at the four corners of the room and the position of the welcoming door, which made Mrs. Li and the others, who were wearing a big hat and walking all the way, suddenly sweat when they first entered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The figure looming behind the screen of the peony and butterfly dance in the distance is no longer the graceful of youth, but it also has its own charm.

After getting Mrs. Li's approval, Li Jin walked alone around the screen, while Mrs. Li was led by the old woman just now to sit in the hall on the other side.

After beckoning to Li Jin, the old man returned to the appearance of staring at the chessboard and contemplation. Even if Li Jin came to her side, she didn't pay attention to it.

As soon as Li Jin stood up and saluted opposite him, the maid beside the old man quietly served Li Jin to take off her robe, and led Li Jin to sit on the other side of the couch, opposite the old man. and quickly prepared refreshments for Li Jin and placed them on his side.

The old man in front of him had a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, coupled with Li Jin's speculation just now, at this time Li Jin was very sure that the person in front of him was the old princess of Huaiyang, who had recently entered Beijing.

It's just that such silence is relative, but Li Jin didn't expect it.

It seems that this is not the first time that my mother has come to this Huaiyang Palace, but when was that? And this time there are strange meetings everywhere, my mother must have made arrangements, looking at the current posture, Li Jin has secretly guessed several possibilities in her heart. It's just that he refuses to convince himself that it's true.

When Li Jin was thinking, his eyes unconsciously looked at the chess game in front of him. Li Jin also loves to play chess, but recently, even sitting quietly for a while has become a luxury. At this time, I sat next to the chessboard, watched, and watched the chess game in my eyes.

At first glance, the whole situation seemed to be in the situation of the soldiers' conquest, and the black chess pieces were pressing forward step by step, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the white hand was besieged in several corners. Although white struggled, it seemed that the situation could not hide the defeat. However, if you study it carefully, you will find that there are subtle mysteries hidden in the situation of performance.

Although black is unstoppable and kills left and right, white can retain a trace of vitality in the decline of being besieged in the four corners.

At this time, the situation is at a critical point, which can be described as a watershed moment in the whole chess game. Black seems to be able to play with ease, choosing three or four places to attack white and achieve a comprehensive victory, but white, which is secretly dormant, also hides the corresponding killer feature. If black is not careful, it will easily turn the situation upside down, and it will be an irreparable loss.

The scorching battle situation also attracted Li Jin's attention to the chessboard for a while, and he thought of the way to get out of the white chess and the way to break through the black chess. This is the greatest pleasure of playing chess for Li Jin, who can move between two completely different minds, left or right.

The old princess also seemed to be very addicted to the chess game in front of her, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she didn't know how to unravel this increasingly unfavorable situation. About half a pillar of incense passed, and the two faced each other silently.

I don't know why, the old princess suddenly took one, held it lightly in her palm, and said with a smile while rubbing: "I didn't expect that at your age, you can sit still than me, a person who has lost most of the loess." ”

After saying a word, the old princess raised her eyes and looked at Li Jin who was sitting opposite.

It seems that when facing a high-ranking person, Li Jin naturally lacks a sense of urgency. At this time, I don't know whether it was a positive or negative evaluation, and it did not cause much reaction from Li Jin.

I saw a faint smile on the corner of Li Jin's lips, and received: "Old man, you are calm and calm after reading all the vicissitudes of life, I am just a corner of the peace without desire, not the same." ”

When the old princess heard Li Jin answer like this, she seemed to be very surprised. Leaning forward slightly, the smile was still gentle: "Oh, since you have no desires, why did you come?"

The old princess's questioning was scathing, and even had a hint of aggressive contempt.

Li Jin was stunned by the question, and after a while, a wry smile overflowed the corners of her lips, and said, "Although I have no desires and no desires, I have to make a living." ”

If Li Jin's answer is usually reminiscent of a businessman's pawn, you can imagine how contemptuous the response will be. It's just that this is also a one-size-fits-all truth. If it is not for the continuation of life, whether to protect others or oneself, where is anyone willing to act against their will? It's just that too many people are immersed in it when they are struggling, forgetting the way back and the way they came, and they can only extricate themselves from it.

Li Jin had completely confirmed the conjecture in her heart at this time, and secretly smiled bitterly, her mother could only cocoon herself in the end after arranging such an arrangement. It's just that the heart that was painstakingly planned and secretly suppressed for himself made Li Jin's chest warm and full at the moment when he figured it out, accompanied by bursts of pain and sourness.

Li Jin guessed that the noble person in front of her was probably thinking about herself now, but she was afraid that she would be disappointed. For the Houmen Deep House, as Li Hui said, he is not suitable. Whether it is his casual temperament or his gentle way of doing things, maybe he will gain a foothold after a short struggle, but after living in such an environment for a long time, Li Jin is not sure whether he will still maintain that sobriety, or just sink into it, and then give up on himself, and then he is afraid that he will harm others and himself.

Li Jin is indeed desireless to the world and the people around her, although she has an unrestrained and naughty character, but it is all for herself, as long as it involves the people around her, it is another matter entirely.

As long as Li Jin feels appropriate, she usually tries to follow her surroundings as much as possible and does not be the person who swims against the current. It's just that even if it is as quiet as a boulder in the mountains, it will change its external appearance with the natural wind, frost, rain and dew. Not to mention Li Jin, a mortal born in the world.

Therefore, now there is Li Jin, who makes people look at Li Jin who feels contradictory, and Li Jin who seems to be struggling desperately to survive, but Li Jin who doesn't care about himself inside.

The old princess did not criticize Li Jin's answer any more, nor did she continue to go deeper on this topic. After watching it quietly for a while, Li Jin's delicate makeup and elegant expression, the old princess suddenly thought: "Come, let's play a game." I'm white, you're black. This is obviously letting Li Jin.

As he spoke, he summoned the maid beside him and brought down the unfinished chess game on the small table and the chessboard. In the blink of an eye, another vacant wooden chessboard was placed in front of Li Jin, and the criss-crossing squares in front of him seemed to be a battlefield for a while. The old princess was white, and in front of Li Jin was a black jade chess piece.

The old princess finally moved her thoughtful eyes from Li Jin to the chessboard, and even Li Jin herself didn't notice it, she was silently relieved at this moment.
