Xia Qing held the small jade pendant in her hand and was even happier.

This jade pendant can be said to be his trophy.

For the first time, she was a little excited about what she had won with her chess skills.

"Look at your joyful look..... It's best not to take out this jade often, it's better to take it again at a critical moment, otherwise it will lose its meaning. ”

"Good, good, no problem. ”

Xia Qing put the jade pendant into her pocket and hid it.

Although the jade pendant looks small, it is full of weight.

"Can't you tell me who your master really is?"

"Hmm.... There is no master. “

She took her white seeds one by one, and she was a little embarrassed to see that King Rui was still staring at her.

"King Rui, I may be very talented. ”

"Poof.... Hahaha. It's the first time I've heard someone boast about themselves like that. ”

Bai Yu laughed happily, and sprinkled wine for King Rui to drink.

"Alright, alright. Don't take it seriously. It's not good to say Xia Qing, it's what she said, the kind of talented person. ”

King Rui suspiciously picked up the wine glass and drank with Bai Youshi.

His eyes still glanced at Xia Qing's face from time to time.

It's just so weird.

This woman, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like she can play Go so well.

In the past, he only said that his chess skills were too high to find an opponent.

Now I finally have an opponent, and this opponent is still a complete mysterious person.

I don't even know who I was learning from.

The feeling of being defeated made him a little lost.

It turns out that this is what it is like to be a loser.

With a little bitterness and a little bit of unwillingness.

Having tasted too many victories, he occasionally needed defeat to sober him up.

"Tomorrow I'm going to crack your chess game. “

"Have you written down where each one is?"

"Of course, girl, I don't rely on talent, I rely on hard work. ”

Xia Qing was deflated and obediently picked up the food.

The chessboard and pieces were taken away by the Secret Guard again.

The dish has been cold for a long time.

However, even if it is a cold dish, the taste is still so delicious.

Xia Qing was a little sentimental.

The people outside did not have enough to eat because of famine and war.

But the royal people are big fish and meat every day, eat less every day, and waste more.

Nobles, when will we be able to see the lives of those who are suffering?

Bai Yu saw that Xia Qing suddenly quieted down, and he didn't even move his chopsticks, and he was a little puzzled.

"Xia Qing, why don't you eat it?"

"No, nothing ......."

"If you have something to say, you have to say it directly, don't talk about it. ”

"I'm just thinking, when we are here in spring and autumn, when we are leisurely, outside, many people can't even eat.......

"There's no way around it. ”

King Rui put down his wine glass and looked sideways at the moonlight outside the pavilion that was as bright as flowing water.

"It's fate. Some people's lives are meant to be this way, and some people's lives are not. God will arrange it all. ”

When he said this, there was a faint sadness in his tone, "Even if it is purgatory on earth outside, in the court, there is still singing and dancing. It's not the fault of the common people, but it's not the emperor's fault either. Wrong is wrong, this is the way of the world. No one can change. ”

"You look like you've seen all the things in the world. ”

Xia Qing simply put down his chopsticks.

She's not hungry anymore.

The big fish and meat on the table made her feel a little burdened.

She thought of the four new dancing girls in the Drunken Immortal Building.

Their lives shouldn't have been like this.

They have their own fathers and mothers, and they have their own brothers and sisters.

Then there will be a husband, there will be children, and a new family will be formed.

They're going to be ordinary, and they're not going to have the opportunity to show up like that.

But at least, they will be happier than they are now.

It's going to be warmer than it is now.

However, because of famine, because of death.

They broke away from their original destiny, and they walked towards this one-plank bridge.

Although they knew what they would face, they didn't even have the right to retreat.

In the back, there is something more terrifying than a man-eating beast.

They had no choice but to run forward.

"Naturally, I can't see everything in this world, and I can't change it. But now, I want to change myself. Change your own destiny. ”

King Rui's eyes sparkled, as if something was about to overflow, "Knowing that your fate shouldn't be like this, then stand up and work hard to change." There's no use worrying about the sky. Which emperor is worried....... I'm going to learn from my father, I'm going to be like him......"

"Is this the resilience of the royal people? Hehe, Xia Qing, are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, go to rest early, and you have to catch up early tomorrow morning. ”

"Well, I'm a little sleepy. ”

Xia Qing understood that the next topic was something she couldn't hear.

Naturally, she wouldn't be stupid enough to continue bothering here.

"Well, I'm leaving. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Uncle Liu to send you. ”

King Rui's face was a little red, obviously because he had drunk too much.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu. ”

"Hey, lord. ”

Uncle Liu is the housekeeper's grandfather.

"Take her back to her room. ”

"Okay, lord. ”

Uncle Liu stood not far from the pavilion and waved at Xia Qing, "Girl, let's go." ”

"Good. ”

Xia Qing walked very fast, she didn't turn around, and she didn't look back.

The pavilion behind him slowly, slowly shrunk into a small dot and slowly disappeared.

Uncle Liu's slightly sled back moved slowly in front.

Although he didn't drink, Xia Qing's consciousness was a little blurry.

It may be too late, some sleepiness.

"Girl, tomorrow, you're leaving?"

"yes. ”

"Then I wish you a safe journey. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu. ”

Uncle Liu and Xia Qing talked without a match, and the moonlight was more gentle.

There are no stars tonight, only a crescent moon hanging in the night sky.

"Allow me, old man, to ask more, has the girl ever been to this palace?"

"Why do you ask?"

Xia Qing was a little puzzled, could it be that this is another person who has seen herself?

"It's just a little familiar, since I haven't been here, it's the old man's mouth. ”

Uncle Liu quickened his pace.

Although Xia Qing was full of doubts, when she saw that Uncle Liu had accelerated, she also accelerated.

The two of them quickly walked to Xia Qing's residence one after the other.

The lantern in Uncle Liu's hand was also extinguished when Xia Qing walked.

He watched Xia Qing grope his way back to the room, and in the darkness, doubts appeared on his old face.

Originally, he didn't think Xia Qing was familiar, but today when he saw her and Wang Ye Baishi sitting in that pavilion drinking together, he felt more and more familiar.

It was as if he had seen this scene there, or rather, had seen it before.

But this Xia Qing doesn't look like an ordinary person, if you see it, you will definitely have an impression.

Exactly, where, exactly.

Where had he seen this beautiful girl?

He shook his head, trying to calm his old head.

When he was older, he couldn't remember a lot of things.

He turned to the lantern in his hand and walked away slowly.

Behind him, Xia Qing slowly pushed open the door, her little face full of doubts.
