The black and white chess pieces, the criss-crossing chessboard, the entanglement between life and death. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's exactly the same plate as in my memory, and even the position of a son is not messy.

The corners of Li Jin's mouth slowly hooked, wondering if he had missed a major Go event this year. Such a rare and meticulous layout is indeed worthy of people's painstaking research, but if the party holding the chess is Huaiyang Wang Jingxi, then the game of chess in front of him at this time is so well preserved here, there are only two possibilities.

One is that the Queen Mother is the one who holds the black, and the other is that someone introduced this game to the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother has seen the two sides play chess with her own eyes.

It's just that what puzzled Li Jin was that the queen mother, who had left a gentle impression on herself just now, had such a diametrically opposite personality on the chess surface, such a momentum of cutting through the chaos with a quick knife, and the aggressiveness that forced the white chess to retreat were all diametrically opposed to the calm atmosphere displayed by Li Jin's gestures.

But I have to say that it is difficult to draw cats and tigers, and it is difficult to draw bones, and you don't know your heart. How much overlap can there be with the underlying rules of conduct? Perhaps the temperament of gestures can be changed, but Li Jin believes that the choices on the chessboard will most profoundly reflect the essence of a person, just as his life choices are considered.

Perhaps this old man, who has experienced the changes of the three dynasties and still stands at the top of the harem, has already developed the ability to bury his deepest self under heavy protection, so his impression of her has been skewed. Li Jin tried hard to find the reason for her different feelings about the Queen Mother in her heart.

I was so engrossed for a moment that I didn't notice when there was an extra person around me, and when my neck was sore and I changed my perspective, Li Jin was surprised to realize that there was a person standing beside him.

The white robe is embroidered with dark gold peonies, the cuffs and neckline are decorated with dark purple rolling cloud patterns, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and he really looks like a gentleman.

It's just that this person's behavior at this time can't be called a gentleman, not only quietly spying on others, but also listening carefully, there doesn't seem to be a small servant outside, and the palace maid is standing. No matter who the person on the other side just now, the current situation is detrimental to the two of them.

If someone with a heart takes advantage of this to make waves, Li Jin knows very well that not only his life is not guaranteed, but even his family will be punished in shame. And at this time, this place is an important place in the palace, if it is taken to the court by someone with a heart to talk about things, it is estimated that it is possible to involve the nine clans. Not to mention ruining the emperor's plan, it is estimated that what awaits him is the end of death without a place to be buried. The more I thought about it, the more the cold sweat behind Li Jin couldn't be contained.

It's just that such an almost adult man, why did he appear in the Queen Mother's Cining Palace. There were no special ornaments on the person who came, and Li Jin didn't remember seeing this outstanding-looking figure at the royal banquet.

But Li Jin knew in his heart that the children of ordinary eunuchs were not to say that they came to this Cining Palace, even if they entered the emperor's study, they were to be pardoned, and although he was almost selfless in contemplation just now, he was just singing loudly outside, and he would not be ignored by himself, which Li Jin still had confidence.

Then this person also has the identity of being able to walk out of the harem and Cining Palace without passing through the communication.

Only in the blink of an eye, Li Jin had a lot of thoughts in his head, and his heart was also chaotic and didn't know what to do. It's just that the distance between the two of them is a little too close at this time, in order to temporarily avoid such a dilemma, Li Jin subconsciously tried to keep a distance from this person by getting up and saluting, and said.

"I don't know who your Excellency is?

When Li Jin looked at him, the visitor stood in front of Li Jin very generously and dignifiedly, allowing Li Jin to look at him, but at the same time, he also looked at Li Jin with interest. At this time, seeing Li Jin get up and salute and stay away from him, he seemed to be in a better mood again, and walked to the place where Li Jin had just gotten up and sat on the side of the chessboard.

"Miss Li also likes to play chess?"

Answering the question, Li Jin frowned and left the low couch by the window. No matter who this person was, Li Jin just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible at this time.

At this time, Li Jin's heart was so nervous that he almost jumped out, afraid that someone would accidentally enter the ear chamber and break the matter of being alone with this person. I am afraid that this person will be entangled, and I will not be able to get out when the time comes.

Li Jin quickly thought about various possible situations in his mind, but in the end, he sadly found that no matter what the situation was, he could not and would not call for help. Not to mention that this person is afraid that his status is not low, at this time, let alone say that he has not suffered a loss, even if he suffers a loss, it is estimated that he will not be able to get a fair. Not to mention, after the matter is big, I and my family can't afford the consequences.

Although Li Jin intuitively felt that this person was probably not a disciple, he also knew in his heart that this person was at least ill-intentioned, otherwise why he had been secretly observing behind him.

I don't know why Li Jin's mind was so chaotic, and the appearance of Xiangxue, who had been accompanying him, appeared.

When he should have been calm, his mind was even more disturbed by this scene. Li Jin secretly laughed at himself in his heart, it is true that if Xiangxue is still by his side, such things and dangers will not happen, at least when he encounters it, there are people to share with him, but at this time, Li Jin is left alone, and this is completely the result of his own willful behavior.

Slowly exhaled, Li Jin calmed his mind, although he knew that it was irretrievable, Li Jin did not regret it at all, except for the lingering sadness, Li Jin felt that everything was fine.

Just when Li Jin remembered the sad thing and a dull pain crossed his chest, the person who was left behind by Li Jin quickly walked in front of Li Jin. Fortunately, Li Jin was agile and avoided it sideways. Otherwise, the two would probably collide head-on at the door.

Li Jin gritted his teeth and glared at the person in front of him with some anger, trying to maintain stability under his feet, and retreated. I couldn't stop being scared that things would turn out for the worst I had imagined.

"Childe, what do you mean by this?" Li Jin said in a sonorous voice.

"Miss Li is not strange. It's just that this is an important place in the palace, and there are countless attendants coming and going, and you leave the inner room with such an indignant expression, just afraid that Miss Yu's reputation will be unfavorable. ”

Hearing this, Li Jin's angry eyebrows almost rose upside down, if he thought about his own reputation with him, why bother to come to this ear room quietly, if he didn't know that Li Jin was here, then after coming in and seeing it, he should avoid it, and not only did he not do this, but he observed behind Li Jin silently for an unknown amount of time. At this time, he put on a look of caring about his own reputation, which made Li Jin hate it so much.

Looking at the gentle smile of the person in front of him, if it weren't for the strange situation at this moment, it would really make people think that he was really thinking about Li Jin.

Li Jin tried hard to suppress his anger and said in a low voice: "If Gongzi really cares about his own reputation and my reputation, please leave by yourself." ”

The young man still looked at Li Jin with that interested expression, without a nervous expression at all, as if he was not afraid that Li Jin would take the opportunity to shout and attract the palace maids to make things out of control.

After Li Jin's words landed, the man waited for a moment before saying, "Miss doesn't need to worry so much, I'm just curious about what kind of person Miss is, and I was lucky enough to meet by chance today and I forgot for a while." I want to talk to the young lady about the chess game. If Miss Li is interested, she will come out of the side hall, and I will wait outside. ”

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and strode out of the ear chamber.

Li Jin was stunned by this sudden turn of events, could it be that he misunderstood the person just now?

After tidying up his mood a little in the ear room, Li Jin let his face return to his usual calmness, and immediately left the closed ear room. Perhaps because he was still afraid that things would change, Li Jin's steps seemed a little hurried.

The man had already set up a chessboard on the table in the side hall, and seemed to close his eyes as if he was sitting on the sidelines. After hearing Li Jin's footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked at Li Jin with a smile and said, "I thought you would wait until the Queen Mother summoned your people." ”

Li Jin's face is not good-looking, with a somewhat pale complexion, coupled with the tight corners of his mouth, anyone can see that Li Jin is disgusted with the person opposite.

"Since Childe wants to talk to me. Then why don't you report to your family? This is against the virtue of a gentleman. Li Jin said directly unceremoniously.

"Oh, that's really rude. The man didn't seem to be offended, and after admitting his negligence with a smile, he continued: "In Xia Rongxuan Wang Jingchong." ”

Li Jin suddenly realized, indeed, if it weren't for such an identity, how could he be unimpeded in this Cining Palace. It's just that why does a person with such an identity pester himself like this, is it because he wants to find out the emperor's plan from himself?

Li Jin followed the rules of the palace, and after saluting King Rongxuan, he said, "I don't know what His Highness has to teach." ”

The corners of King Rong Xuan's mouth overflowed with a wry smile and said, "Miss Li, there are no outsiders here at this time, and I also said that I was just curious about your personality." It's also that I've just acted abruptly, but it's not malicious. I apologize to you. Just think it's a meeting between friends, and don't be polite. While speaking, Jing Chongzhen got up and bowed to Li Jin to apologize.

After Li Jin avoided it sideways, he still looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away and said: "Thanks to the prince's promotion, Li Jin is a daughter of the people, and he doesn't dare to climb with you." If Li Jin has a place that can help the prince solve his doubts, the prince can speak, if Li Jin does not have this talent, he will ask the prince to let Li Jin wait for the queen mother to summon him here. ”

Such a clear eviction order, King Rong Xuan is also the first time to see it, but he didn't expect that his momentary disappointment would make this annoying to the point of being so annoying. This is Jing Chong, but he can only blame himself on a whim.

"Okay, in that case, I won't bother Miss Li too much. I just have something I want to say to Miss Li. Looking at Li Jin's cold face, Jing Chong regained the smile he had at the beginning and said, "I only hear the singing and dancing of the mountain stream, and I don't remember the sound of the good bow back then." ”

After finishing speaking, Jing Chong got up and said goodbye.

Li Jin looked at the chess game that had been arranged on the table, I was afraid that this was the chess game he wanted to discuss with himself. Just like the chess game in the ear room, the score is exactly the same.
