Stunned on her face, Mu Xiyue looked at Ye Xiaoting in a daze, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in her heart, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, Mu Xiyue knew very well that she hadn't seen him, but why did he look at himself with such eyes?

Ye Xiaoting watched Mu Xiyue's face change from a distance, the corners of her lips were hooked, and her face was a little weird, and when her eyes fell on Mu Xiyan's face beside her again, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but soon, she withdrew her gaze.

The prince's birthday banquet was supposed to be celebrated by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the specific time of the banquet was to start in the evening, and the queen mother wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to set a princess for the prince, so the young people came earlier than the officials and wives.

Now it's still early, the Queen Mother gave an order to let the young people move on their own, saying that they are doing their own activities, but not according to their own wishes, no, the Queen Mother's words just landed, and there was already a father-in-law to move the chessboard, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some musical instruments to the back yard.

The daughters of the high-ranking families present are all smart and clever people, this move, after a little thought, you can understand the intention, for a while, everyone whispered, and some people wanted to show their demeanor in front of the queen mother, eager to try.

Mu Xiyue was still sitting at the table drinking tea, watching that someone had already started to play on the side of the chess and cards, and her expression changed slightly.

"Qianling, aren't you going to show your hands? Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are your strengths! ”

Situ Muxue grew up with Mu Xiyue since she was a child, so she naturally knows her skills and talents, but now she is also bored, thinking about plucking Mu Xiyue to win her style among everyone, but she is just talking, but she has no other thoughts.

"You, you haven't won against me in chess for so many years, do you want to take this opportunity to find someone who has won against me and take a breath?"

Mu Xiyue was drinking tea, looking sideways at Situ Muxue, remembering the puffing face that Situ Muxue had lost when the two of them were playing chess before, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and as she spoke, a light smile hung on her face.

Situ Muxue threw Mu Xiyue a roll of the eyes, her eyelids rolled, and she was a little unwilling to be poked at the center: "There is still a lifetime of time, I don't believe that I can't win you once!" ”

Seeing Situ Muxue like this, Mu Xiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of jujube cake and put it in her mouth, waiting to be sent down with clear tea, and her face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Don't you understand what you mean by making these ornaments at this time? Lin'er and I should sit quietly here, more is better than less. ”

At today's banquet, Mu Xiyue didn't want to attract anyone's attention, if the invitation hadn't been delivered, maybe she wouldn't have thought of coming, not to mention, the identities of her and Mu Xiyan had to be properly tucked away, at this time, it was really not suitable to show it in front of everyone.

Mu Xiyan listened to Mu Xiyue's words, her heart couldn't help but be heavy, although she was not as proficient as Mu Xiyue, but the convenience of musical instruments was also outstanding, just now I saw the prince's gaze, I couldn't help but feel a little itchy in my heart, just about to speak, Mu Xiyue's words came from my ears, and I swallowed the words I was going to say back into my stomach.

"Also, you already have a trace of the world, let's stay quietly and drink tea at this time!"

Situ Muxue looked at Mu Xiyue, saw that her face was no longer the haze just now, a bright smile appeared on her face, she reached out to take the cup, and took a sip shallowly.

However, when you want to be pure, most of the cases will not be as you wish, and the tea in Mu Xiyue's hand has not yet been half drunk, and a soft sound like a spring breeze came from her ears.

"Queen Mother, this is Su Qianling, who you often talk about!"

Princess Splendid followed the Queen Mother, and when she saw Mu Xiyue, she couldn't help but show a little surprise on her face, as if it was a great honor to see Mu Xiyue.

The sound in his ears crossed, so that Mu Xiyue and the three of them raised their heads at the same time, looking at the concubines around the Queen Mother supporting her, hurriedly saluting, and when her side bent down, the corner of Mu Xiyue's eyes caught a smile on Princess Jinxiu's lips, and her heart couldn't help but burst.

"Calm down, don't be polite today."

It was originally a happy day, but now that so many young people are together, it naturally brings a little more youthful vitality to the heart of the Queen Mother, and even the voice of the voice can't help but be a little lighter.

When Mu Xiyue and the three of them got up when they heard this, when their eyes fell on the splendid princess on the side, the expression between their eyes flashed uncontrollably, and when they saw her calm and gentle face with a smile on her face, they felt a little more uncomfortable in their hearts.

Eat one's heart out?

When this word appeared in Mu Xiyue's mind, she was also taken aback by her own thoughts, thinking that she would be more calm in dealing with people in her first life, but she didn't expect that now in the face of this gentle and gentle princess, she would be jealous in her heart!

Mo Yichen!

Yes, it's because of Mo Yichen, if it weren't for him, maybe Princess Jinxiu wouldn't be jealous no matter how good she is, but she got involved with Mo Yichen, and she couldn't hold it anymore!

Thinking like this, Mu Xiyue's brows couldn't help frowning, and the expression on her face couldn't help but be a little colder, and before she could speak, there was a heavenly voice in her ears.

"Just now, the Queen Mother praised Miss Su for being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I also studied with the master in Chonglou for a few years, and now I have a little itchy hands when I look at the chessboard, I wonder if Miss Su is interested in playing a game with me?"

Princess Splendid Beauty's voice was like a spring breeze blowing from her heart, and as she spoke, her eyes were smiling and her eyes were lingering, without the slightest false ingredient, such a situation was indeed a little difficult to refuse.

Between speaking, Princess Jinxiu's eyes fell on Mu Xiyue and looked at her carefully, if she was a beauty, now that she was covered with this veil on her face, she couldn't really see it at all, but the noble temperament she carried around made people have to look at her more, especially the pair of clear eyes exposed outside, rippling like a slight movement of waves, which made people's hearts can't help but ripple.

Such a woman, no wonder Mo Yichen will be different from her!

Thinking like this, Princess Jinxiu's heart couldn't help but sink, and she turned her face sideways to think of the queen, with a little doubt, as if she saw that Mu Xiyue didn't speak, and she didn't understand what she meant, so she came over to follow the queen for help.

"Alas, look at it, Princess Fairlight's straightforward personality is really likable!"

The Queen Mother looked at Princess Jinxiu like this, and couldn't help but smile brightly on her face, and as she spoke, her voice was even more excited.

"One is a strange woman who is envied by everyone in Chonglou, and the other is a talented girl praised by everyone in my Heavenly Dynasty, this game of chess is really exciting!"

As she spoke, the queen looked at the Queen Mother, with expectation on her face, and looked at the Queen Mother nodding, her smile was even stronger.

Mu Xiyue's heart sank, her eyes looked at the faces of Princess Jinxiu and the queen, and the expression in her eyes couldn't help but sink, the two sang and harmonized, and now they have the consent of the queen mother, this game seems to have no room for her to refuse.

"Princess Splendid is a guest from afar, and Qianling naturally wants to accompany her, but this chess path is something I figured out by myself, and I dare not compare it with Princess Splendid Beauty, so I will ask the princess's subordinates to show mercy when the time comes."

Mu Xiyue knew that the Queen Mother's eyes fell on her, so she had to come down, and said a few words to Princess Jinxiu, which seemed to be very modest, but in the sound of Princess Jinxiu, it added a lot of pressure invisibly.

When she was in Chonglou before, Princess Jinxiu had already checked Mu Xiyue's bottom very clearly, and it was obvious that she was trying her best to hide herself, but now that she had arrived here, she couldn't just let it go so easily, after all, she came with Mo Yichen for the sake of Mo Yichen.

Everyone painted, played chess, and played the piano originally for the Queen Mother and Queen Mother, but now seeing that the Queen Mother and Queen Mother were all on Mu Xiyue's side, half of them were curious, and half of them wanted to get close to the Queen Mother and the Queen, so everyone threw down the things in their hands and came over here.

It's still early, the sunset hasn't sunk yet, the afterglow is wantonly swaying between heaven and earth, plating a layer of golden light on Mu Xiyue's white yarn, plus she is indifferent and elegant, and she has a little more otherworldly temperament, without too much beaded and emerald hairpin embellishment, Mu Xiyue's face is just lightly applied a layer of powder, but the thin eyebrow sketch is very exquisite, one or two emerald hostas and hair are entangled and embraced between the green silk, restrained and unassuming, and the faint feeling makes people unable to take their eyes off.

The game begins.

Mu Xiyue and Princess Jinxiu sat opposite each other, each holding a child in their hands, their expressions were focused, and it seemed that all their energy was invested in the chess pieces between their fingers.

Mu Xiyue held a white chess piece between her slender fingers, and followed the sunspot of Princess Splendid all the way unhurriedly, and every time she fell, the expression in her eyes would flicker slightly, as if she was thinking about the road ahead.

I have to say that the title of Princess Splendid Beauty, a strange woman, did not come out of thin air, just a few moves, Mu Xiyue had already felt the kind of pressure emanating from her body, and had to show a lot of spirit, and every step needed to be carefully considered.

Li Aijia, who was still looking at Mu Xiyue's joke just now, also squeezed into the crowd now, looking at the change in direction on the chessboard, her heart couldn't help but pinch up, and the expression on her face became a little more solemn.

Although Li Aijia was against Mu Xiyue just now, but now the two represent two countries, so compared with this, they subconsciously leaned towards Mu Xiyue's side.

The Queen Mother watched them play chess and fall, her eyes flickered, and she had to nod her head and secretly admire when the two of them fell into a piece.

The queen next to her couldn't help but add a little solemnity to her face, she had long known that Mu Xiyue was a very talented person, but she didn't expect that she would have such a high attainment in chess skills, and she couldn't help but be impressed by this child for a while.

A thirteen-year-old child, the stability and calmness shown on this occasion are extremely rare, coupled with the indifference and clarity that he felt from her when he was in contact with Mu Xiyue before, he couldn't help but have a little more deep meaning between his eyes, and it seemed that he understood why the prince had thought so much about getting this unattractive woman before.

When everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, it had already passed two teas, the chessboard was covered with black and white, and both sides were entangled in the siege and let go, looking invulnerable.

Mu Xiyue held the white piece in one hand, stared at the chessboard with clear eyes, her brows twisted slightly, for a long time, sighed, and examined the situation of the whole game again, and the chess pieces in her hand slowly fell.

"Be careful!"
