Kyushu Qingyan.

The emperor smiled and looked at the black and white pieces crisscrossing the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Mingde (Xiuqi's table character), your chess skills are not very good, haha." ”

Xiu Qi is now a member of the Fifth Rank Criminal Department, and the official uniform he wears has also been upgraded, wearing a white pheasant supplement, a crystal summer cool hat, and a one-eyed flower feather on the official hat, which looks a lot more decent than the seven-grade line.

Xiu Qi wiped the hot sweat, and sighed in his heart, playing chess with the emperor is really not an easy thing, but he hurriedly said: "Weichen has done his best." It was not easy to lose, and not let the emperor see that he had deliberately lost!

While collecting the chess pieces, the emperor said, "Come on, Mingde, let's play another game with me!"

Xiu Qi's face turned white, and he still went down?God......

Xiu Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The emperor has a lot of opportunities......

"I'm not busy right now. His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile.

Xiu Qi's handsome face is like a bitter melon.

At this time, the savior arrived, and Wu Shulai reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has arrived." ”

As soon as the words fell, Minglian walked into the hall with a smile, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”

The emperor raised his hand and said "no courtesy", and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu, your brother's chess skills are very good!"

- Xiu Qi suddenly fainted, or don't be so inconsistent!

Yu Ming glanced at the chessboard, the chess pieces on it had been taken away by the emperor, and naturally he couldn't see what the situation was, so he said "oh", his brother's chess skills. Hao Ming naturally knew that although he hadn't played chess with his brother for many years, he also knew. Facing Xiuqi, the emperor only had a share of the fiasco.

Why is the emperor so happy when he loses? The emperor is used to being abused by her?

Then he said: "Yes, when the concubine was in the boudoir, she often played chess with her brothers and sisters, except for the younger sister who was a stinky chess basket, the eldest sister and elder brother's chess skills were good." Especially the elder brother, who plays chess with his concubines, has always been an opponent in chess. Half of the winners and half of the losers. ”

After saying this, the emperor froze, holding a chess piece in his hand, and his face turned a little dark. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chess opponents, half wins and losers?!!

Ming nodded blankly. "That's right, although I haven't played against my brother since I entered the palace, but I think my brother's chess skills should have grown a lot, right?"

Xiu Qi was a little unsure of the situation, and he didn't dare to speak rashly, but he looked at the emperor's expression and secretly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Hao Ming asked again: "How many sons did the emperor lose?"

Xiu Qi hurriedly said: "The emperor won the second son. ”

Ming's eyes were round, "How is it possible? The emperor is playing chess with me." Never won!!"

Xiuqi's face was completely white, and there was still a little green in the white. "Mother, you can make me miserable!"

"Huh?" Ming was stunned, then looked at the emperor's black face, and then looked at Xiuqi's green face, and immediately understood, so he pouted and said to Xiuqi: "Who told you to deliberately lose chess?!" - how can you be so insincere?!

Xiu Qi said with a bitter face: "It was my father-in-law who instructed me...... "My father-in-law told me to play chess with the emperor and lose without leaking."

The emperor's phoenix eyes glared, "Okay! He has been deliberately losing to me, right?!" - This guy in Etai, looking at him is just and awe-inspiring, but he didn't expect to be such a villain!!

Xiu Qi almost didn't cry, father-in-law, it's not that the son-in-law deliberately betrayed your old man.

The emperor shook his head and looked at Xiu Qi, patted his thigh, and sighed: "Mingde, I always thought you were a gentleman!"

Xiu Qi hurriedly folded his hands and bowed, and said, "Weichen...... It really doesn't deserve the name of a gentleman. ”

Mingming rubbed his temples, what the hell is this? Etai too, if you don't teach, teach her brother this! Alas, there is a lot of mixing in the court, which one is not an old fritter? Xiu Qi is also a small fritter now......

Seeing the emperor's black face, Hao Ming had to hurriedly say that he would send Xiu Qi. The dry scum dragon is someone who can even be slaughtered by his uncle and grandfather!

In the early autumn season, the summer palace of the Old Summer Palace is just cool, the good trees are dense, the autumn frost is dyed at the beginning, the water vapor is steaming, the haze is long, and the rare rainbow light crosses the Penglai Fuhai. Cuilin common ape deer walking, cranes circling, such fairy scenes, it is no wonder that the first emperor Yongzheng Ye once a year for 365 days, 362 days a day.

Parallel to Xiuqi Penglaifu seaside, the pace is leisurely, and the brothers and sisters can talk about some family things.

"I heard that my brother is going to be a father again, but because it is not my sister-in-law who is pregnant, I don't congratulate him. He said slowly, looking at the pieces of falling and withering remnants on the sea of Penglaifu, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

Xiuqi explained: "It was your sister-in-law's dowry girl, who was sent to serve me earlier when your sister-in-law was pregnant with Quan'er. ”

Bo Ming stopped at his feet and looked at Xiu Qi, his appearance was dignified, his nose was like a bold eyebrow, he was really a beautiful man. Regardless of the side, this blue face alone is enough to make many women's hearts flutter.

"What's wrong?" Xiu Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but touch his cheek, which didn't seem to be stained.

"It's nothing ......" Mo Ming muttered, forget it, sister-in-law Zhilan doesn't mind, she doesn't mind a hairy person? Not to mention which noble family, who doesn't have a concubine in seven or eight rooms? Which family doesn't have a few concubines? As an ancient woman, Zhilan can have a tolerance and is also in line with the survival rules of this era.

"My sister-in-law is virtuous, and I hope my brother will treat her well. Humming admonished.

Xiu Qi nodded hurriedly, and then became a little ignorant, "I have always treated Zhilan very well, why did the second sister suddenly say this?"

Hao Ming was silent, ancient men probably thought that having a few concubines was nothing, right? As long as you don't spoil your concubines and kill your wives, you will treat your wives well.

What's more, Zhilan has already given birth to two sons and a daughter to her brother, so it can be seen that their relationship between husband and wife is still good.

"Brother go out of the palace, I'll go back to Kyushu Qingyan. He put aside the heart that shouldn't be bothered, smiled and ordered the eunuch to follow the eunuch and send Xiu Qi out of the palace.

Xiu Qi looked stunned, falling into the clouds, looking at the back of his own sister-in-law, far away among the flowers and trees in the green forest.

When he turned back to the emperor's bedroom, the sunset was already floating and shining obliquely into the palace. I picked up the pearl curtain and entered the second room on the east side, that is, where the emperor's imperial study was located.

The imperial furnace burns incense, the mist is like clouds, the arhat couch, the chessboard has been removed, and the fresh fruit, halva snacks, and Lushan cloud tea have been replaced.

When Ming saw the salute, he went to the couch and sat opposite the emperor, twisted a piece of pine nut cake to eat, but saw that the emperor looked sullen and depressed. Knowing that the emperor was hit, he picked up a nice word and said: "Chess is just a small way, why should the emperor mind? The emperor who has all four arts and is literary and elegant is either the queen of the Tang Dynasty or Huizong of the Song Dynasty." ”

Saying this, the emperor couldn't help but laugh "poof", "Do you have to be a Mingjun with a stinky chess basket?"

He smiled and said: "The truth is a little crooked, but there is also some truth, isn't it? If there are too many love for the four arts of calligraphy and painting, how can we concentrate on governing the world?" -- The queen of the Tang Dynasty was a poet, and Huizong of the Song Dynasty was a calligrapher and a painter, and they were not the material for the emperor. If they are not kings, I am afraid that they will already be the likes of Su Dongpo and others who have been famous for thousands of years. (To be continued.) )
