Chapter 3: Playing Chess

Shen You'an's recuperation this time is a real recuperation, and after rejuvenating and returning to his conscience, the emperor Xià who found out about it after understanding the whole story, even if he let Gao He let Shen Youan recuperate well, compared to his own lovesickness of wanting to see his daughter-in-law, it was obviously his daughter-in-law's legs that were more important, and he felt distressed when he knelt for so long in the cold and hot weather.

Shen Youan lay on the bed for half a month, and only after Bi Tong repeatedly confirmed that she was indeed completely recovered, she put her out of bed.

The first thing Shen Youan did after his injury was naturally to go to Qi Jinghuan to thank him.

When Shen You'an arrived at the Xinuan Pavilion of Yanqing Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting cross-legged on the couch, and a small table was placed in front of his face, and a game of chess was placed on the small table.

The emperor generally deals with government affairs in the imperial study, but occasionally deals with it in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Yanqing Palace, which can be said to be another of his studies.

Shen Youan walked through the rosewood bird-patterned floor cover, bowed slightly; "Slave maid to His Majesty Xià please be safe."

Qi Jinghuan held the chess pieces in his hand, as if he was inadvertent; "Get up."

"Yes."

Shen Youan got up, lowered his head, and stepped aside.

Qi Jinghuan glanced at her and said in his heart; What to do when he retreats so far, is it difficult for him to eat her.

"Shen Siyu."

"The slave is here."

"Accompany me in a game of chess."

Shen Youan was stunned and slowed down his divine way; "陛xià, slave maid"

"I order you to accompany me in a game of chess."

As he spoke, he gently tapped the small table with his fingers, his eyes shot coldly at Shen Youan, and he couldn't help but get angry again, this problem has to be changed, Qi Jinghuan gently pinched his palm.

Shen Youan lowered his eyes slightly, pinched the corner of his skirt and walked forward.

"Come up."

Seeing her so cautious, Qi Jinghuan unconsciously softened his voice, but his self-righteous soft voice had a hint of impatience in Shen Youan's ears, but he was still a little embarrassed, this majesty let himself go up, then, do you want to take off your shoes? That's on the couch, it's a nice call, it's a dragon couch.

Qi Jinghuan saw that she bit her lip and raised her head for a while, and then lowered her head, as if she was very embarrassed, smiled softly, and did not embarrass her, and ordered someone to put the chessboard on the table again.

Shen Youan sat opposite Qi Jinghuan tremblingly.

After sitting down, Qi Jinghuan saw that Shen You'an didn't move, so he raised his eyebrows and signaled her to choose first, King Anping is a chess idiot, Shen You'an has his true heritage, and naturally likes to play chess, and she has been taught by King Anping since she was a child, and pays special attention to the rules in playing chess, and chess is character.

Qi Jinghuan asked her to choose, and she directly chose Baizi, when she used to play chess with her father, she used Baizi.

With the demeanor of a man, Qi Jinghuan asked Shen Youan to play first, but Shen Youan was not polite to him, she used to play chess with her father, and she also played first.

Although Shen Youan loves to play chess, she has only played with King Anping when she is so big, so she unconsciously compares Qi Jinghuan with her father.

Shen You'an, as the only concubine of the palace, and lost her mother at a young age, many things were taught by King Anping himself, especially chess, where is Qi Jinghuan, the emperor who only knew how to climb trees and dig birds' eggs when he was a child, can be compared, let alone relive a lifetime, even if he relives for eight lifetimes, he is not Shen Youan's opponent in terms of playing chess.

So when his sunspots were gradually surrounded by whites and there was no way out, his face was getting closer and closer to the color of his chess pieces.

Gao He stared at the chessboard on the side and only shook his head, and said in his heart; "Ouch, my aunt, do you know how to make your majesty?"

Obviously, Shen Youan didn't know how to let it, so when the sunspot on the chessboard could only be described with a miserable, miserable, miserable, how to describe it with a miserable word, she smiled comfortably, with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and when she raised her head, her bright eyes happened to meet Qi Jinghuan's eyes, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

Shen Youan was shocked, the smile on his face froze, and he quickly got up and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Qi Jinghuan is really a bit of a stone to shoot himself in the foot, he knows that Shen Youan likes to play chess, in order to enhance his relationship with his daughter-in-law, he specially prepared chess and waited to do what he liked, how do he know that his daughter-in-law is too powerful, killing all sides on the chessboard, and losing face.

But what to do? I can't worry about my daughter-in-law.

"Get up."

Seeing her so cautious, Qi Jinghuan sighed helplessly in his heart, in the end, it was still a year late, if it could be a year earlier, if it could be a year earlier, her temperament would not be like now, he must take care of it, but it is not too late.

Shen Youan lowered his head and stepped aside, still as usual, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

Qi Jinghuan looked at her, she was younger than the person in her memory, and she was much more well-behaved than the person in her memory, too, she had experienced so many things, and the clay figure still had three points of earthiness, not to mention that it was a living person, he thought, if he hadn't forced her hard back then, perhaps, she would have been pretending to be well-behaved and lovely, and he wouldn't know it for the rest of his life, it turned out that she was also affectionate.

In my previous life, how many times did I dream back at midnight, I dreamed that she was smiling, but once he got close, he would hear her accusation, she said that her majesty, the slave is a person, a living person, the slave and the maid also have feelings and feelings, but in front of you, the slave and the maid will not cry, will not laugh, the slave and the maid feel like a monster, you let the slave and the maid go, Anping Mansion, you can do whatever you want.

In fact, how could he not know, no matter how he humiliated her, no matter whether she knelt in front of him on her knees, calling herself Majesty over and over again, but in her bones she was still the arrogant county lord in the Anping Palace.

Shen Youan felt Qi Jinghuan's gaze, and there was a trace of doubt and panic in his heart.

"Let's all go down, what's the point of a group of people surrounding me, Shen Siyu stays and serves, and everyone else goes down."

I thought that the emperor would be more tolerant of Shen Youan since she fell ill half a month ago, but I didn't expect that this Shen Youan had just recovered, and this Majesty began to find fault again.

It's nothing more than that they all think so, but it's really Qi Jinghuan's bad deeds in the past, which makes them have to guess, Your Majesty, this is going to pick Shen Siyu's thorn again, it really pities Shen Siyu's delicate beauty.

Shen You'an is beautiful but not charming, gentle and generous, it is easy to get along with her to make people feel good, coupled with her natural nobility in her bones, people feel that she should be pampered, and every time His Majesty finds trouble with her, most of them are sympathetic in their hearts.

Bi Tong glanced at her worriedly, and then retreated with everyone.

"Shen You'an."

"The slave is here."

"Sit down."

Qi Jinghuan patted the stool next to him and added a sentence at the end; "It's an order."

In the past half a month, Shen You'an has already learned all kinds of strange orders from His Majesty, and he is already strange at this time.

"On that day, why did Lin Zhaorong punish you?"

It's not that Qi Jinghuan wants to ask knowingly, he already knows about the matter, but from Gao He's obscure words and the little memory left in his own mind, he probably also knows that he deliberately let Shen Youan meet Lin Zhaorong that day, but it is precisely because he knows that he has to pretend not to know, because everyone thinks that he did it on purpose, although this is true, but he wants Shen Youan to know that he didn't mean it.

Sure enough, Shen Youan was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then said; "On that day, the slave and maid collided with Zhaorong Niangniang, and they will be punished."

"Nonsense, you are a female official in front of the palace, how could you collide with Lin Zhaorong for no reason, it must be that Lin Zhaorong was arrogant and implicated you for no reason."

This, how can Shen Youan continue well, does it mean that Lin Zhaorong did it on purpose, or did you not acquiesce to this matter? Obviously, she didn't dare to say, who knows if this was deliberate? For now, it is clear that silence is the best option.

"I am busy with government affairs on weekdays, but I don't know that there are such people around me, who are gentle and petty in front of me, but they are so vicious in private, which is really hateful."

His Majesty the Emperor said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, as if these things really had nothing to do with him, and Shen Youan could only listen.

Xu was no one agreed, and His Majesty the Emperor also felt that it was boring, and Shen Youan saw that he didn't say anything, so he hurriedly served a cup of tea.

Qi Jinghuan took the teacup, took a sip, and naturally handed the teacup to her, for a moment, he shook his head, how long has it been since he was like now, the person in front of him is still there, it's good, in his previous life, he always liked to sleep, because only in his dreams would she be there, and she would disappear as soon as she woke up, but he always had insomnia, couldn't sleep, sometimes he was asleep, in his dreams, he would also be awakened by the large bloodstains, but now, the person in front of him is really alive.

"陛xià, 陛xià."

Shen Youan tilted his head and called him.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Jinghuan is normal.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, do you want to call the imperial doctor to take a look."

Qi Jinghuan exhaled deeply, closed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart, everything is in the past, everything is in the past, those are just dreams, and now they are real.

He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at Shen You'an, which made Shen You'an break out in a cold sweat again, usually His Majesty smiled like this, that is, nothing good happened, in other words, she was going to be unlucky.

She is not a fool, how can she not know the hostility of His Majesty to her, but the cultivation in the past half a month has made her almost forget that the person in front of her is still the emperor, maybe the closer she gets to him, the more fear will prevail in her heart, just like at this moment, she is sitting here forbearingly, but only she knows that her clenched palms are full of sweat, her legs are constantly trembling, yes, she is afraid, she is afraid of the moody emperor in front of her.
