Chapter 65: He x Qingwang
The Green King arrived at the Cloud Palace around noon.
When Mrs. Tang arrived for the interrogation, Chen Xiaolan and Qiao Yili were sitting cross-legged opposite each other, immersed in the chess game.
A black and white delicate chess piece was placed in front of the two, with nineteen black lines vertically and horizontally, and the black and white chess pieces on the board were arranged like a formation, Chen Xiaolazy frowned, holding a white piece between his fingers, hanging in the air, unable to land for a long time. And Joyley on the other side also looked at the chess game in front of her obsessively, revealing a rare look of contemplation.
Bai Ye was sitting on the tea table on the side, eating melon seeds with Erlang's legs crossed, and watching the game with one hand on his cheek boredly.
Mrs. Tang was slightly stunned, the atmosphere in front of her was warm and quiet, it seemed that she had come to a bad time, she suddenly lowered her voice, "Tenth Master, the king has arrived, and he is in the main hall." ”
"Got it, we'll go now." Bai Ye got up, smoothed his clothes, and asked aloud to the two who were playing chess, "Do you want to go with me?" ”
He thought to himself with some joy that he finally didn't have to stay here quietly.
"Wait, let's go!" Chen Xiaolazy put down the chess pieces in his hand, and when he saw the reluctant appearance of Qiao Yili on the other side, he couldn't help but smile, "This game of chess, let's go back and play again, there is only one chance to see the emperor." ”
Since she mentioned to Tingsheng last night about playing chess before, she has never forgotten it. After they returned to the Cloud Palace after the competition, she pulled Joey Li to play with her, but she didn't expect that there was no way to play backgammon in this world, and after she explained the rules of chess, Joey Li was very interested in playing with her.
At the beginning, Bai Ye, who was left aside, was gossiping depressedly, but as a result, Joy Li glanced at him lightly, "Be obedient, don't make noise." ”
And he was quiet—
"Hahaha...... White Night, I've wanted to see you for a long time! As soon as they walked outside the main hall of the Cloud Palace, they heard a burst of laughter in the room, loud and domineering.
All three of them were stunned, and suddenly they were all a little nervous.
It is rumored that Qingwang loves martial arts, has a heroic personality, and his temper is particularly hot, and he is handed over to his companion brother who has been with him since he was a child, and he loves to arrange troops in the military camp.
"The king wants to meet with the white prince alone, and idle people are not allowed to enter." Just as they were about to enter the house, a Tsing Yi guard in front of the door stretched out his hand and stopped them expressionlessly.
Chen Xiaolazy and Qiao Yili were embarrassed, and retreated silently, there was no way, who let them be pasted on their heads by Qingwang with the four big words "idle people, etc.".
Bai Ye pursed his lips a little dissatisfied, but still waved at them and asked them to go back first.
He secretly said in his heart, this king is really so cautious, and he won't even let the people he carries with him enter.
I have to say that I am cautious to a certain extent.
"Long live the Blue King." Entering the main hall, Bai Ye bowed and saluted, "The gift-giving team has been blocked many times on the way, so that it has not arrived until now, Bai Ye is deeply sorry, and I hope that King Qing will understand." ”
The middle-aged man sitting in front of him was a little panicked after glancing at each other. Qingwang has thick eyebrows, and under his eyebrows is a pair of unfathomable blue eyes, with a high nose bridge and a black beard.
Although Qingwang had the smile of his elders, there was still an indescribable chill in Bai Ye's heart - he had never been nervous in the face of his father, how could he be timid about the Qingwang he had just met.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's enough to be happy to see you." Qingwang smiled heartily and motioned for him to sit down, the old eunuch with white eyebrows beside him silently retreated a few steps, and he changed the topic, "Is the martial arts competition fun?" I heard Steward Tang say that you just won the game in the morning. ”
Bai Ye was slightly shocked, "Well, I signed up on a whim, and I won the game in the morning, so I didn't dare to continue to participate." ”
He lowered his eyes, once again regretting his impulsive decision, he was used to being celibate and doing whatever he wanted, but this morning's show attracted the attention of the Qing King.
It's good for him, but if you notice Joy Lee's abilities, then - wouldn't it put her in danger!
Bai Ye looked at Qingwang, who picked up the celadon teacup on the table and took a sip of it, and cold sweat gradually broke out in his palms.
"Much better than my incompetent sons." Qingwang smiled, "I remember the first time I saw you, you were only six years old, so many years have passed, you are really more and more handsome, a talent." ”
Did he see him when he was six years old?
Bai Ye lowered his head, had no memories of that time at all, and was silent and did not reply.
"I don't know how your father has been lately, I haven't seen him for many years." Qingwang raised his hand, and the old eunuch standing not far away understood his meaning, and walked to his side with an ebony gift box.
Bai Ye raised his eyes, "My father is healthy, and he often mentions the matter of Qingwang to me, and I feel that I can't always talk to you about wine." ”
Qingwang smiled, and there was no emotion in his blue eyes, "There will always be a chance in the future." ”
"Come so far away, as an elder, you always have to give a greeting gift." The old eunuch beside him respectfully held the gift box in front of Bai Ye.
Bai Ye took it calmly, "Thank you, King Qing." ”
Qingwang nodded, and laughed again, "It's not too early, the old friends in the palace are still waiting for me to discuss political affairs, you can feel free here in the Cloud Palace, and then go back when you have had enough!" ”
"White Night Retirement."
Walking out of the main hall, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his eyes to see that in the pavilion not far away, Chen Xiaolan and Qiao Yili did not go back, and whispered these things face to face.
As the prince of Bailian, he has been forced to teach etiquette since he was a child, such as how to deal with important foreign figures, these things he learned at the beginning are finally somewhat useful.
When Bai Ye walked to the pavilion where they were sitting, the discomfort in his heart just now had almost dissipated, "Okay, let's go back!" ”
When he returned to the original house, he opened the gift box given by the Qing King.
He suddenly shrank his pupils, raised his hand to touch it, and it was still cold in the summer.
The gloves were soft and tough to the touch, and there were tiny white jade-like particles densely sewn between the threads.
"Ice silk and gold and jade stone woven into gloves!" Joey Li picked up one of them in surprise, and was stunned for a while, the size of the gloves was too small, and there was a crystal clear snowflake embroidered on the thumb of the tiger, "Women's? ”
- Ice silk is known for its absolute flexibility, and gold and jade are so rare that ordinary weapons cannot leave a trace on them, and this pair of gloves is very valuable, and it takes top-notch labor to make it alone.
"Why did I give you a gift that wasn't suitable for you?" Chen Xiaolan showed a puzzled look.
Bai Ye looked at Joy Li in a daze, and suddenly took her hand and spread the gloves in her hand on her hand.
It was only a little larger than the palm of her hand, and even the length of her five fingers basically fit.
It's like it was made especially for her.
