There are white and black jade chess pieces on the delicately carved chessboard, and Lu Chengxuan, who is playing a game, sits opposite Jiang Shao.

"Ah Shao, what do you think of Lin Qing?" Lu Chengxuan asked casually with Baizi in his hand.

Jiang Shao raised his head to meet Lu Chengxuan's gaze, and the broken shadows in his star-like eyes flowed. He pondered for a moment before saying, "My subordinates don't know. ”

Lu Chengxuan's solemn face showed that he was not satisfied with this answer, but he did not speak again. The white seed in his hand 'snapped' down, which shook Jiang Shao's heart three times.

Jiang Shao pondered for a long time and then frowned and dropped a sunspot, but his face turned pale the moment it fell.

"You've lost, Shao." Lu Chengxuan chuckled.

Jiang Shao forcibly suppressed the turbulent mood and replied yes.

Lu Chengxuan smiled even more, and his thin lips hooked a pleasant arc: "Your heart is messed up." ”

……

Since the encounter in the nursery room, Lu Chengxuan directly promoted Lin Qing to the first-class maid of the Three Princes' Mansion, and is also Lu Chengxuan's personal maid, taking care of his diet and daily life. This development is really beyond Lin Qing's expectations, the errand of being Lu Chengxuan's personal maid is not something that ordinary people can have the opportunity to receive, if you want to be the personal maid of the third prince of the dynasty, at least you have to be a daughter of an official eunuch's family, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and cooking.

But she, Lin Qing, is actually just a woman of unknown origin.

Since he has become the prince's personal maid, he can no longer live in a rough house like Wangfang Pavilion, so Lu Chengxuan sent someone to invite Lin Qing to live in the side hall of Caiwei Hall where he lived that day.

Most of the maids and ladies in the flower room showed great envy for Lin Qing's new errand, and there were countless people who came to congratulate and congratulate Lin Qing. Although Lin Qing was bored, she still smiled and thanked everyone, although these people disdained her when she was a rough maid in the flower room before, she couldn't show anyone a look on her face, lest she be ashamed.

The only thing that Lin Qing cared about was An'er's attitude. Since she learned that Lin Qing was going to be Lu Chengxuan's personal maid, this girl hid in the house silently and didn't want to go out.

"An'er, are you unwell?" Lin Qing, who couldn't rest assured, went to An'er's room and asked softly.

An Er was lying on the bed at this time, covering her head tightly with the quilt, turning a deaf ear to Lin Qing's inquiry.

"It's going to be stuffy, An'er, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that An'er ignored herself, Lin Qing stretched out her hand and tried to pull away the quilt covering An'er's head, but found that he couldn't pull it.

"I'm fine, you can go." An'er came from the quilt like a mosquito.

"An'er, how can you be okay like this? If you have anything, you can tell me, since you call me Sister Qing'er, I can't turn a blind eye to your business! ”

An'er seemed to sigh, and the hand that was holding the quilt tightly loosened slowly. Lin Qing seized the opportunity to lift the quilt, but saw that An'er's face under the quilt was red and swollen and mottled with tears.

"It's all like this, and you still say it's okay?" Lin Qing hated the way that iron could not become steel.

An'er wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately, and said in a dumb voice: "An'er is indeed fine, which makes Sister Qing'er worried." My sister is now the prince's personal maid, and she must be busy with a lot of things, so she really doesn't have to waste time for An'er. ”

Lin Qing looked at An'er carefully with wide eyes, and couldn't help but probe her forehead, and then said: "It seems that you are fine, if there is nothing wrong with me, I should go, you don't want to see me." ”

The meaning of An'er's words has been clearly expressed, she is angry because she has been Lu Chengxuan's personal maid. But Lin Qing was also very helpless in her heart, the purpose of her coming to the Three Princes' Mansion was to get close to Lu Chengxuan to find out the news, and now that she finally had the opportunity, how could she give up lightly. If An'er is angry and even plans to distance herself because of this, then she can only choose to give up making friends with An'er.

"Sister, don't go!" An'er jumped off the bed unexpectedly and hugged Lin Qing's body, tears falling more and more.

Lin Qing was really incomprehensible to An'er's behavior, but she was extremely reluctant to be estranged from An'er. An'er was the first person in the Three Kings' Mansion to give her warmth, and she was also good at digging her heart and lungs, so how could she be willing to leave her love with An'er lightly.

"Can you tell me why you're crying, so that I can find some way to help you."

An'er bit her lip tightly, and her tears fell like beads with broken threads. "I can't bear my sister, will my sister be the prince's personal maid and ignore An'er again? An'er is really scared of ......"

Lin Qing didn't know what to say now, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. It turned out that An'er didn't want to alienate herself, this stupid girl hid alone and cried sadly because she was worried that she would ignore her, such a naïve but full of true temperament made Lin Qing's heart inexplicably moved.

"Don't worry, as long as you call me Sister Qing'er, I will never be able to ignore you." This sentence is not only Lin Qing's true feelings, but also a promise of hers.

An Er nodded heavily, and even burst into laughter, but this smile had a little more bitterness that Lin Qing didn't know.

"Qing'er, the prince ordered you to go to Caiwei Hall quickly." An unfamiliar female voice sounded outside the house, causing the two people in the room to change their faces suddenly.

Lin Qing hurriedly said goodbye to An'er and walked out quickly. Lu Chengxuan called himself that there must be something wrong in the past, but anyway, he finally managed to get close to him, which made Lin Qing both happy and a little nervous.

An'er, who stayed in place, looked at the direction of Lin Qing's departure stupidly, and two lines of tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes.

Lin Qing walked for about half an hour before arriving at Caiwei Hall, and when she arrived, Lu Chengxuan was sitting alone at the chess table in Caiwei Hall, with a chess game in front of her that seemed to have been decided.

"Participate in the prince." Lin Qing didn't say 'slave Qing'er' anymore at this time, she couldn't wait to hear what Lu Chengxuan had to say to her.

The maid who led Lin Qing to Caiweitang had already withdrawn, and at this time, only Lin Qing and Lu Chengxuan were left in the house. Originally, it should have been a little embarrassing for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room, but the two of them were thinking about their own things and were speechless for a while.

The first person to break the silence was Lu Chengxuan, who stood up and walked in front of Lin Qing, looking back and forth on Lin Qing with a complex and inquiring gaze. After a while, he seemed to sigh and said helplessly: "You are really similar to Ah Qiao. ”

Lin Qing mustered up the courage to meet Lu Chengxuan's gaze, raised his lips and said with a light smile: "What the prince said is not right, the slave maid does not look like Zhao Muxi, but Zhao Muxuan himself. ”

In a position that Lin Qing couldn't see, Lu Chengxuan clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his fists burst out.
