After a while, Yingsu asked, "Do you have any contact with the East Palace guards?" ”

The tone is very natural, as if it came to me by accident. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chu Xiang shook his head and said, "They rarely mingle with the palace maids. You know, they're so different from our work, so they don't even have a chance to get in touch on weekdays. ”

Yingsu nodded.

"What? Are you interested in Donggongwei? Chu Xiang asked half-jokingly.

Yingsu's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "Where did my sister think of it again?" ”

"What's this? There are also many beautiful men in the East Palace Guard, if you can pick a person with good character and talent among them, it will not be in vain for you to enter the East Palace. ”

Yingsu hurriedly stretched out her hand to scratch her, and said angrily: "The more my sister talks, the more unspeakable she becomes." Since my sister thinks so, why don't you look for one yourself? ”

Chu Xiang avoided her and said, "I didn't pay much attention to this before, but I really have to pay attention when you say that." ”

The two of them messed around for a while before stopping, and they both felt that each other's hearts were one step closer.

Seeing that the sun was about to turn west, Yingsu hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Although Chu Xiang is inconvenient to walk, she can help do some work done by hand, so she insists on going with her.

Yingsu couldn't resist her, so she had to help her to the catering department.

Wen Zhu was already squatting by the sink to wash vegetables, and the two of them kneaded noodles and cooked porridge, and soon they were all busy.

The crown prince Zhao Yuliang learned of the sudden serious illness of his teacher Wu Boping at noon and immediately went to visit Wu's mansion.

Wu Boping was surprised and delighted when he heard the news that the prince had come to visit in person, and hurriedly asked his wife to help him go out to greet him.

Zhao Yuliang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Wu Boping's expression - he hadn't seen him for a few days, and the teacher's whole person was haggard as if he had changed someone.

"Taifu is not well, so he doesn't have to go out to pick him up in person." Zhao Yuliang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up and said. When touching his hand, Zhao Yuliang found that his hand was as thin as dry bones, and his heart suddenly felt sad.

"Nothing. It is an honor for His Royal Highness to patronize the Humble House, and the minister is very happy. Wu Boping said with a smile, looking at Zhao Yuliang's eyes full of love and gratification.

Zhao Yuliang was raised by him, and he loved him far more than his own son.

Entering the room, Zhao Yuliang's close attendant Lin Frame put a large box of rare medicinal materials and supplements on the table.

Seeing this, Wu Boping hurriedly said to Zhao Yuliang: "Your Highness is so generous, the minister can't afford it." ”

Zhao Yuliang said: "If it can help Taifu's body, what is this thing?" ”

Wu Boping didn't say anything more, and greeted Zhao Yuliang with a smile for tea.

Zhao Yuliang asked him to lie down and talk.

He refused, held Zhao Yuliang's hand and said: "It's rare for His Highness to come, the minister wants to play another game of chess with His Highness, I don't know what His Highness wants?" ”

Wu Boping is the chess saint of the Cao Kingdom, his chess style is ethereal, eclectic, meticulous, and full of philosophical thoughts.

He debuted as a national player at the age of 17 and had made a brilliant achievement of fighting ten neighboring countries without defeat, so he was respected by the people of the country as the "chess saint" and was a national treasure.

In addition to being proficient in chess, Wu Boping, who was born in a poetry and book family, is also rich in five cars, and is very politically minded, so when the prince was six years old, he was invited by the emperor to enter the palace to serve as the prince's concubine, and he has been until now.

The prince is smart and studious, and he is good at studying, so he has long been better than the blue.

This is the thing that makes Wu Boping most proud and gratified.

In the past, Wu Boping would go to the palace every day to give lectures to the prince for two to three hours, and the content of the lectures ranged from poetry and books, political opinions, chess skills, paintings, and philosophy to the world. Since he had suffered a serious illness two years earlier, he had changed to come to the palace every five days to give lectures to the prince.

That is, two years ago, Wu Boping found that the prince's chess skills were already above him. This discovery brought tears to his eyes.

Today, Wu Boping knew that this might be the last time he met the crown prince, so he wanted to play another game of chess with him.

Although the crown prince Zhao Yuliang cherished the teacher's body, he also knew the teacher's intentions, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Wu Boping then retreated from the people around him, sat down in front of the chessboard with Zhao Yuliang and started to play.

Both of them are chessboard saints, and the excitement and intensity between one advance and one retreat can be imagined.

In the second half of the game, Wu Boping gradually had the upper hand. During this period, although Zhao Yuliang intended to let him have two sons, he tried his best to save them, but after all, he was powerless and lost to Zhao Yuliang.

"His Royal Highness's chess skills are already above the minister, and the minister is very relieved!" Wu Boping stroked his beard and smiled. Because his body was too weak, Wu Boping coughed violently after finishing speaking.

Zhao Yuliang hurriedly got up and helped him lie down on the Luohan bed, and said softly: "Taifu is because of his weak health, not because of his excellent chess skills. ”

Wu Boping waved his hand and said: "Your Highness's strength is known, and Your Highness doesn't have to be humble." He also said: "Chess is like life, if a son is wrong, the whole game will be lost, His Royal Highness is the future monarch, please consider every move in the future, and do not give people a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Zhao Yuliang nodded.

"However," Wu Boping immediately said, "Your Highness still has to be a little different about today, especially in the current situation. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Yuliang with blazing eyes.

Zhao Yuliang understood what he meant, and said, "Students can save it." ”

"The former emperor had a violent temper when he was young, but when he was old, he became very gentle and pious, so he was deeply loved by the people in the last ten years of his reign." Wu Boping looked at Zhao Yuliang and said. After a pause, he added, "You have many places like the former emperor. ”

Zhao Yuliang smiled slightly and did not answer.

"Today's thoughts...... is elusive, and this is also the place where the minister is most at ease with His Highness. Wu Boping took Zhao Yuliang's hand and said in a low voice.

Outsiders may not know, but Wu Boping knows very well - the relationship between Jinshang and the crown prince is sometimes very tense.

There is a saying that "the one who is more dangerous than the palace is the East Palace, and the one who is more difficult than the emperor is the prince", Zhao Yuliang's situation Wu Boping is the clearest, so he is so worried.

Zhao Yuliang patted the back of Wu Boping's hand, got up and said: "Students know their own situation, and they will think twice about every step in the future, please don't worry too much." ”

Wu Boping suddenly realized something, and laughed and said: "Yes, His Royal Highness is the six-year-old boy back then, and the minister is guilty." ”

The crown prince is nineteen years old this year, and two years ago he began to assist the emperor in handling political affairs, and people say that he is "a steady, intellectual, and powerful person, and a saint." "The prince was able to do this at a young age, and he should indeed be relieved.

However, he still couldn't be relieved, after all, the emperor didn't have more than one son, and those princes were also very good.

Thinking like this, Wu Boping couldn't help but feel a little worried. As soon as he was worried, his breath couldn't come up, and Wu Boping couldn't help coughing again.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuliang hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back.

Wu Boping looked at the blood he spit in his handkerchief, and his heart suddenly felt extremely sad.

He is not afraid of death, he just regrets, regrets that he can no longer assist the crown prince.

"Your Highness, the way forward...... Just ...... Be careful. Wu Boping looked at Zhao Yu and Liang Qingjun's face, and said earnestly.

The prince's face is really good-looking, no wonder the civil and military officials can't help but look at him every time he goes to court.

However, the prince himself doesn't seem to think so, so he can always deal with it calmly, as if others don't look at him.

"The students should follow the teachings of the Taifu."

"Well, there's nothing to worry about, ...... I was lucky enough to have cultivated His Highness. ”

Zhao Yuliang suddenly had mixed feelings, his eyes couldn't help but fill with tears, he squatted down in front of Wu Boping's bed, clasped Wu Boping's thin hand and said, "Taifu take care, the student will come to see you again tomorrow." ”

Wu Boping smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Zhao Yuliang stood up and saluted him.

When Zhao Yuliang was about to walk to the door, Wu Boping looked at his back and said, "Your Highness, you sometimes like to take risks, this ...... I hope there will be some restraint in the future. ”

Zhao Yuliang turned around and nodded gratefully at Wu Boping and said, "The student has written it down." ”

Out of Wu's Mansion and getting into the carriage, Zhao Yuliang suddenly burst into tears.
