158. Chess game

Zhao Yuande held up the sixty-four bamboo bone silk cloth umbrella to shield Emperor Wen from the wind and snow, and said: "Your Majesty, it's so late, do you want to go back to the Qianyuan Palace or to the Fuyuan Palace?"

The Qianyuan Hall is the emperor's own bedroom, and the Fuyuan Hall is the bedroom of the emperor's most respected concubine, Concubine Zhuang.

Emperor Wen looked at the white snowflakes in front of him and walked quickly, until Zhao Yuande thought that Emperor Wen was going back to the Qianyuan Palace, and then heard his cold voice: "Go to Chaofeng Palace." ”

Chaofeng Palace - It was the dormitory of Empress Dayan in the past dynasties.

The emperor has not been to Chaofeng Palace for a long time, Zhao Yuande secretly pondered in his heart, the queen mother has always been impatient, the emperor is now in the past, he will definitely not be able to be amiable, the so-called fairy fight ghost suffered, I am afraid that there will be several more unjust ghosts in Jingyuan Palace today.

Chaofeng Palace is not far from the Qianyuan Palace, along the palace wall of the glazed green tiles all the way forward, through the Chunbo Pavilion surrounded by the glazed cover, through a pool of frosty Lingbo Lake, and then bypass the Jiuqu Corridor to arrive.

The queen happened to finish bathing at this time, wearing a snow-colored middle coat and combing her long hair in the mirror, and Aunt Xu next to her whispered while combing her hair: "The emperor asked people to clean up Yunhua Palace, and the third prince of Ming'er came back and lived in Yunhua Palace." ”

The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at the rhombic glasses, and looked at the mirror There was also a graceful and luxurious woman who raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of disdain, and she said lightly: "The emperor doesn't remember, and the servants don't know how to remind them? Why did you choose such a place? ”

Aunt Xu covered her mouth and whispered: "That's right, but the emperor remembers the former master of Yunhua Palace in his heart, I'm afraid it will not be in line with changing somewhere else." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the queen's face changed, and Aunt Xu knew that she had a lot to say, so she hurriedly added: "That Yunhua Palace has not lived in it for many years, and there must be a lot of wild ghosts living in it, and when the third prince lives in, it may not be what the scene will be." ”

The queen raised her eyebrows and rebuked angrily: "Too much mouth and too much tongue! Don't mention such things again in the future!"

It's been a long time, and I haven't heard the queen so angry for a long time, which made Aunt Xu startled, and she was so frightened that she pulled off a hair of the queen with a retraction of her hand, and the queen "hissed", and was about to be angry, when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall.

The shrill voice of the little chamberlain came in: "The emperor has arrived!"

There was a man on his knees in the room.

"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an. ”

The neat salute of the palace people is a bit deafening.

When the emperor came in, he saw the empress kneeling in front of him, who was only wearing a snow-colored middle coat, and he said slowly, "Get up." ”

Aunt Xu helped the queen to stand up.

Even the queen, who is only wearing a snow-colored middle dress, still looks dignified and magnificent.

She whispered to Aunt Xu, "Go and make a cup for the emperor from the Xinyang Maojian just sent by the Internal Affairs Office," then turned her head and said to the emperor with a smile, "You haven't been to the concubine's Chaofeng Palace for a long time." ”

The emperor sat firmly on the warm kang near the window, his posture was straight and elegant, and his fair face did not look confused at all, "I came to see the queen, is the queen unhappy?"

When the emperor did not ascend the throne, he was a famous beautiful man in Yunfu City, and the queen had not seen the emperor for a long time, she was facing the emperor's clear eyes, and her face was a little resentful, "The emperor clearly knows the thoughts of his concubines, and the Xinyang hairs sent by the Internal Affairs Office every year are kept for you to drink, and you always make fun of your concubines......"

The emperor leisurely looked at the furnishings in the hall, and his eyes stopped at a chessboard on the top of the Duobao Pavilion, which was carved from a whole piece of white jade, and the chessboard was made of crushed obsidian pigment, drawing a clear distinction between Chu and Han.

The empress followed the emperor's gaze and said softly, "You may not have played chess with your concubines for a long time. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, "We haven't played for a long time, so today the queen will accompany me to play a game of chess." ”

The queen smiled and instructed the palace people to take down the chessboard, place it on the table with the warm kang, and arrange the chess pieces, which is not a popular game of Go among the people at the time, but a chess piece that kills and decides arbitrarily, and the chess pieces are polished from the leftover scraps of the chessboard, and the white jade looks pleasing to the eye.

"The emperor's chess skills are good, let the concubines hold the red chess in this game. The Empress looked at the Emperor with a smile, and her eyes flashed as if only a teenage girl had a bright light.

The Emperor nodded.

The queen's shot was a shot in the head, and the emperor took a step to screen the horse, and then she arched another infantry.

A slight smile appeared on the emperor's face, and he raised his hand and took a step forward.

The queen looked at the smile on the emperor's face, and also pushed a step forward, chattering: "Yunhua Palace has been in the fire since eleven years ago, and no one has lived in it since it was repaired, why did the emperor choose such a place for the third prince?"

The emperor raised his hand and ate one of the queen's soldiers, pinched the chess piece in his hand and smiled, "There is no other place in the palace suitable for a child as old as the third child." ”

The queen then flew up and ate the emperor's pawn who crossed the river, and said angrily: "The emperor can hide it so tightly, if it weren't for Fengyi coming back from Xiliuying and telling the concubine today, 'I saw a young man in the martial arts field who looks very similar to the beauty statue in his father's bedroom', and the concubine didn't know that the third prince was secretly raised outside the palace by you for so long." ”

The emperor flew off the queen's car that crossed the line, threw the car outside the chessboard, and gently raised his chin, "The third child is about to be inconsistent with the palace, and he was born weak and sickly, and the fire eleven years ago almost killed him, so I thought I would put him outside the palace, and it was a lifetime of peace and stability." ”

The queen's heart jumped, how could she not know what the emperor was thinking, the third prince was like that woman, even Feng Yi could recognize it after just seeing it, and she had to have that life to live her life in peace!

She smiled, smiling, her eyes reflected the bright light of the palace lamp, and she said with deep meaning: "After all, you are the prince, are you really willing to let him live a lifetime outside the palace without a name or a point?" Besides, isn't Jingyuan Palace still empty, no matter how bad his eight characters are, let him go to Jingyuan Palace, those yin qi can always suppress him." ”

Aunt Xu lowered her head and sighed, Jingyuan Palace is a realm that only concubines who have always made mistakes will go, the people in it are either crazy or stupid, and there is no good end in the end, what good can the queen do with the emperor like this, it is nothing more than unwillingness in her heart, and the person that the emperor has always been thinking about is not himself.

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, looked at the queen's flying horse, and chuckled, "Jingyuan Palace? ”

The queen's face suddenly froze, what did the emperor mean by this? What happened back then was not all her idea, if it weren't for him, how could she take such a risk, bear such a reputation, and do such a vicious thing?

Speaking again, her voice suddenly sharpened: "The emperor is strange that the concubines did not manage the harem well, so that the third prince would be left out at a young age?"

Aunt Xu shook her head in her heart, the queen has a smooth life, her temper has never changed, she is in a hurry, she dares to say anything, what man would like to be so aggressive in his own main room? It's really no wonder that the emperor doesn't like the queen.

In the face of the queen's questioning, the emperor just sat calmly, ate one of the queen's horses with a cart, and was silent.

The queen was anxious, and her voice was full of grievances and resentments: "Since the concubines have been in charge of the harem, they have not been diligent and diligent, and the emperor does not like the concubines, so there is no need to find fault with the concubines like this, not to mention that the emperor is not clear about what happened eleven years ago?"

The emperor understood the queen's resentment, and took a deep look at the queen, holding the horse he had just eaten in his hand, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and the clear eyes became more and more cold: "I let you take charge of the harem, not to let you do what you want, in a place like Jingyuan Palace, if you really let the third child live, you might as well let him go outside, it is precisely because I knew about the events of the year, so now that the third child returns to the palace, I can't watch you make mistakes again and again." ”

Wrong again and again, the queen only felt a rumble in her ears, he actually said that he was wrong to do that at the beginning, but if it wasn't for him, how could she do such a thing?

The queen looked up at the emperor's mouth opening and closing, only to feel that the word by word was like a nail, smashed into her heart one by one, she asked sharply: "Where did the emperor put his concubines? The mistakes are all carried by the concubines, and the benefits are all done by the emperor, even if it is not so fast to cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

With a crisp sound of "dang", the emperor will die and the empress, no matter how she goes, it is a dead end.

The emperor whispered softly: "The queen's chess skills have not grown all these years!"

The queen's hand was pinched to death, and she suddenly got up and brushed off the chess pieces on the chessboard.

The chess pieces made of white jade rolled to the ground, and several chess pieces were overwhelmed, and they shattered into several pieces at the moment they fell to the ground, scattered on the polished smooth marble floor, lined with a room of bright palace lights, as dazzling as the stars in the sky.

The dead silence of the room, the palace ladies stood tremblingly against the corner of the wall, for fear that a heavy inhaler would make a noise to the queen.

The emperor's eyes followed the angry queen, all the way to the handsome chess pieces engraved with big bright red characters scattered on the warm kang, reached out to pick up the chess piece, and put it in the middle of the chessboard.

"The way to win or lose in chess, this 'handsome' is always the last one left on the chessboard, just like in this deep palace, there will always be only one person in charge. ”

The queen closed her eyes and mourned: "There is only one ...... for a good one."

"It's not too early, let's change your clothes early. The emperor didn't want to say more, and went straight to the dormitory.

The rustling sound of changing clothes reached the queen's ears, and the queen pressed down the unwillingness in her eyes.

[It's super uninspired today, and there's only one chapter until now, so I'm in a hurry to send it up, don't blame everyone, I don't want to run away with the lid on the pot~]
