It's night, the moon is bright, and summer nights always make people more relaxed, but she and the four princes sit opposite each other, silent and speechless, only embarrassed.

After the afternoon was confused, she still called Pear and Meizi to order the kitchen and prepared a table of wine and food for the evening. Who knew that the four princes came after dinner, and they should have already eaten.

"When you're hungry, eat some of yourself. The four princes were the first to break the silence, poured themselves a glass of wine, did not touch the food, only drank alcohol.

She didn't pretend to be polite, and picked some dishes that were not difficult to eat when they were cold.

"It's all cold, aren't you? Why don't you go and heat up the food?" said the fourth prince to Lizi and Meizi in a surprisingly considerate manner.

"Yes. Pears and plums hurriedly collected most of the dishes and ran to the kitchen.

There were only two of them left in the room, and she felt that she should come.

The fourth prince poured her a glass of wine, and when she drank it, he asked, "Are you afraid?"

She shook her head.

The fourth prince smiled and said, "You are really smart, you don't need to be afraid." ”

"But do you want the concubine to accompany her to make a scene?" The fourth prince waited for her to take the initiative to ask, so she had to ask.

"Exactly. The fourth prince smiled even more.

"Do I have to hide it from the maid in my house?" she asked again.

The fourth prince neither shook his head nor nodded, but said, "Just don't let the two people in the East Chamber see through it." ”

"Then don't hide it from the maids in my house, it's better to have their help. ”

"Yes. ”

A consensus was reached, and she and the four princes toasted each other.

"Are you used to going to bed early?"

"Get used to going to bed later. ”

"Then, is you willing to teach your concubine to play chess?"

"It's fine. ”

Sleep, she always has to sleep, but since it's just a scene, she only needs to sleep with the four princes for the night. It's just that they want to sleep together, and it's still embarrassing in the end. As long as they look out and see that the lights are off in the house, whether they are playing chess or doing something in the house, they can feel free on their own.

When the pears and plums came back from hot dishes, she hastily ate some of them, and then pulled the pears and plums to whisper in front of the four princes. After hearing this, Pear and Plum couldn't hide their surprise, but they quickly moved on their own.

Pear went to find two thin candles, the light of which was very dim, but it was also the kind that allowed people to see things from a close distance. Meizi helped them clean up the table and spread the chessboard. When everything was ready, the two maids helped them to extinguish the big lights inside and outside the house, and went out of the door, and stood guard at the door. If someone passes by, look at it from a distance and think they are already asleep.

After three wins and three wins took only half an hour, the fourth prince sneered: "You can't do it, it's boring." ”

She shrugged helplessly and said, "The concubine said in advance that she wants the concubine to teach the concubine to play chess." The concubine body doesn't understand very well. ”

"The master let you have twenty-four sons. ”

"Why doesn't the enemy release the water. Alas, the concubine body is also very hit. If you have more soldiers, you will always be invincible to the handsome gods. Why don't you let the concubine have more?"

"It's good for you to be a hundred eyes, stinky chess basket!" the four princes sneered, but their faces were full of smiles. It can be seen that her sycophant just now made the four princes comfortable. But the four princes naturally didn't take it seriously, and they felt happy when they were proud.

That's not going to work. Now lying on the bed, she has never been used to someone next to her who can't sleep, but she has to stand up for the middle of the night, where can she stand it.

"Master, it's not good to play Go as a concubine, but there is another way to play, maybe it can make you happy. ”

"Oh? ”

"That's ...... Such and such...... The sunspot goes first, which is conducive to attacking, and the white son is more important than defending, but no matter whether he holds the white son or the black son, as long as the master makes his five sons first, the master wins. "She came up with a game of backgammon.

The four princes are really smart, and they will teach it, because of the novelty, and she is also confident in backgammon, it will be difficult to calculate the outcome of this time, after you come and I go back and forth for a few games, the four princes are excitedly shouting: "You won this game." Quick, go on, and have another plate. ”

In fact, she had the intention to let the four princes at the beginning, and she always wanted the four princes to win one or two games after five sets. But gradually, more than a dozen sets came down, and she had to get serious. The outcome has become very stable, and it all depends on who is in charge of the sunspot. In turns, they are evenly matched.

Well, the game of backgammon itself is derived from the practice of Go. The Four Princes' Go skills are comparable to those of national players, and they are meticulous, as long as they get started, they will not be able to bargain for her. Fortunately, calculating the time, it was also killed for half an hour.

She proposed before the fourth prince lost his strength: "There is still a way to play with the concubine body, are you willing to try it?"

"Oh, come on, let's hear it. ”

"So and that...... When one side changes all the pieces on the board to their own color, they win. She came up with a reversi game.

Another half hour had passed.

"Haha! wonderful!" The fourth prince praised again and again, "You stinky chess basket is not good at authentic Go, but there are really a lot of fancy intestines." You created both of these plays?"

She smiled mysteriously, didn't nod or shake her head, it wasn't her own creation, but it was okay for the fourth prince to think so.

The fourth prince didn't pursue it, and actually asked, "Do you have any other novel ways to play?"

Now she was in trouble. Seeing that the interest of the four princes was undiminished, and it would be best to delay a little longer at night, the four princes asked her to think of new ways to play, but she couldn't think of it for a while. Backgammon and Reversi can no longer be played. The two grandmothers have to live in the mansion for some time, and the four princes will always come several times. Let the four princes get tired of playing these two kinds of chess today, what will they play next time?

With a move in her brain, she also came up with two ways to play the trick, but she thought about it and decided to hide it first, so she said, "The concubine can't think of a good idea today." If the master doesn't give up, would you like to listen to the concubine's story?"

"Storytelling?"

"It's storytelling. ”

"Oh, you can still tell a story?" said the fourth prince, already putting on a waiting posture.

She began to tell the story: "Once upon a time, there was an elderly fisherman who lived by fishing every day. In addition to his wife, the old fisherman's family also had three children, all of whom depended on him for support, so the family was very poor and had a difficult life. Although he is known for fishing hygiene, he has a strange habit of catching only four nets of fish a day, and never wants to catch more nets. ……”

She tells the story of the fisherman, the devil and the four-colored fish in "One Thousand and One Nights", and with a slight change, the story is long enough and engaging. This lecture is all night. Until dawn, the four princes listened with interest. She came to an abrupt halt.

"Why don't you continue?" the fourth prince urged, anxious.

"Master, it's not early, why don't we go to bed and rest first. lest the hour come when we may be seen sleepless all night. ”
