The checkerboard made of white jade is clear and shining, and the ink and white colors are mixed together. Everyone in the garden held their breath, no one whispered and chatted, and the click of the chess pieces falling against the stone surface could be heard clearly.

Princess Leping lazily held the white jade porcelain cup with her bare hands, gently smoked the corners of her mouth with the hot air on the tea water, her lips were moist and bright red, her eyelashes were half drooping, her eyes were faint, and she looked idle and lazy.

The two people sitting opposite each other, one gentle and lovely, the other beautiful and unparalleled, fiddling with chess pieces with slender hands, the light gauze on their sleeves swept between the black and white colors, and looked like an elegant and beautiful figure from a distance. The cool breeze suddenly picked up and blew on his skin, causing Su Peiran to shiver.

She covered her mouth and coughed lightly, her eyes still clear, and she raised her hand and dropped again.

Xie Jinghua's eyes flashed, and she glanced at her in surprise, holding her in one hand, and it didn't fall for a long time.

Princess Leping frowned, saw Su Peiran's expression indifferent, her eyes narrowed, and she opened them gently, and a touch of disapproval appeared on her face.

The Su family is just a small family in the south, in the eyes of Yu Leping's noble daughter in Beijing, it is a first-class bun, Su Peiran was born in such a family, and she is a daughter, what can she do in chess? Although Xie Jinghua is cowardly and weak, she is really talented when she mentions her life to her sister and cousin. On the one hand, because her biological mother is a talented Oiran in Qinglou, on the other hand, she knows that she was born as a concubine with a humble status, and she has the resilience to study and learn art.

Xie Jinghua didn't take Su Peiran in his eyes at first, and after a short time, he planted several followers before he became vigilant. Now she is engrossed in playing chess with Su Peiran, and after a few back-and-forths, she has to look at the person in front of her again. Su Peiran seems to be sick and delicate, but his chess moves are very decisive and decisive, unlike the path of ordinary women in the boudoir.

Several young men saw that it was two boudoir women playing against each other, and they had some thoughts about watching the excitement, but they didn't care. Looking at it, I found that this chess game was not ordinary, Miss Xie Jialiu played chess cautiously and intelligently, much better than ordinary women, but the Miss Su Wu on the opposite side was a little surprised.

The wizened hand like a bamboo branch will set off a bloody storm in the chess game every time it falls, pressing step by step, and the fierce wind of killing is simply not inferior to that of a man.

Going down to the back, Xie Jinghua was already in a state of disobedience, her sideburns oozed a trace of sweat, and her cheeks were also light red.

Xie Yunzhi and Su Yueran glanced at each other, and their eyes were quite surprised.

Princess Leping on the side had already lost her previous laziness, she leaned over and stared straight at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then looked at the two chess players, her lips tightly pursed into a line.

Most of the ladies of the family next to her couldn't understand the trend of the chess game, but they were all good at observing words and feelings, at this time, seeing Xie Jinghua's face was different, and then looking at Su Peiran who was hanging her head indifferently opposite her, she could faintly guess a few points, and her gaze at Su Peiran was a little different for a while. After all, Xie Jinghua is also a small talent in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, but now she is being suppressed by the fifth lady of the Su family, who has always been unknown, which cannot but be surprising.

Jiang Yirou stood not far away and quietly stared at Su Peiran's back, seemingly expressionless, but the corners of her mouth had a very shallow arc, a proud and tranquil smile.

The eyes of the people on Yunfei Pavilion were the most vicious, and he took this scene into his eyes, and he was stunned, and his eyes floated.

The sound of wine entering the lamp interrupted his contemplation, and Ji Liansong raised his head slightly, seeing Cishuang bowing his head to pour himself wine. The wine fills the glass, the fragrance is overflowing, and the aroma is intense.

Ci Shuang poured the wine and put down the wine jug and stepped back, Ji Lian Song glanced at him and sighed and said: "The wine still has to be paired with the beauty, Ci Shuang, add wine, you don't want to do it in the future." ”

Cishuang's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Ji Liansong took a sip and looked down.

Xie Jinghua and Su Peiran were still playing chess, the situation had reached the critical point of victory or defeat, and everyone's eyes in the garden were on the chessboard, except for one person.

The man was in a brocade robe and jade crown, holding a wine glass in one hand and a knee with the other, his phoenix eyes were dark, but his gaze bypassed Su Peiran and fell straight on Jiang Yirou who was a foot behind Su Peiran.

Ji Lian Song raised his head and drank the remaining half glass of wine, put down the wine glass, reached out and took out a bright red pendant of silk rope oval jade pendant from under his sleeve, held it with his fingertips, and gently rubbed it.

Cishuang saw his master's action, at first he was a little puzzled, and felt that the jade pendant in front of him was a little familiar, and he looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly remembered the origin of the jade, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Looking at the place below where King Qi's eyes were faintly visible, he immediately understood.

I see-

There were many things that he couldn't understand before, but now they were all at once.

So that's it...... Ci Shuang muttered and repeated in his heart, accompanied by a complex and indescribable taste.

The chess pieces were already lying on the chessboard, Su Peiran gently put down a piece, and his face was as shallow and dull as when the chess game first opened, but Xie Jinghua, who was sitting opposite, changed his face.

She clenched the chess pieces in her hand and stared at the chessboard, beads of sweat on her forehead.

When he was silent, a slender shadow suddenly stepped forward, pinched the champa and wiped Su Peiran's forehead: "Good sister, play chess and play chess, don't get tired, your body is empty......"

Su Peiran was watching the chess game intently, but a burst of fragrant wind suddenly came, and when she raised her eyes and saw that it was Su Miaoran, she was slightly stunned, so she wiped her cheeks.

Su Miaoran pinched Su Peiran's wrist and was about to say a few more words, but she heard the prince's voice say in a deep voice: "Miss Su San, they are still playing chess-"

Watching chess and being silent is a rule that all young people and girls in the nobles of the Shangjing family know, and now Su Miaoran is so rampage, it can't help but be staggering.

Su Miaoran glanced back at the prince, her beautiful eyes turned around, revealing a cowardly and pitiful look, and hurriedly retreated.

Originally, Zhong Langjun's good impression of her was reduced by a few points, and at this moment, she saw the delicate state of the beauty's wonderful eyes, but she was in a trance.

Xie Jinghua was thinking hard about the method of cracking it, and when she was concentrating, she didn't even notice Su Miaoran stepping forward.

It wasn't until Princess Leping couldn't wait for a light cough that Xie Jinghua barely came to her senses. She raised her eyes to look at Su Peiran opposite, and finally smiled bitterly: "I lost." ”

As soon as these words came out, Princess Leping's brows furrowed quickly, and then spread out.

Su Peiran pursed his lips: "I agreed." ”

Zhao Xu was surprised: "I didn't expect Miss Su Wu's chess skills to be so powerful, even Cousin Xie couldn't match one or two." ”

Luo Xiao nodded, and his gaze at Su Peiran was also a little different. When Su Xinran saw it, she bit her lip and twisted the handkerchief into a ball with both hands.

The prince smiled slightly: "Since Miss Su has won the chess, she naturally wants to be rewarded." ”

Princess Leping's eyes moved, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, isn't that reward a picture of my third brother's precious lady?" ”

The prince's face sank, but Zhao Xu over there took the lead in waving his hand and said, "No, no, my painting is very rough, and it is really wronged to let Miss Su Wu enter the painting." ”

He looked at the crown prince and arched his hand and said, "Big brother, it's better to do a favor for me and give Miss Su Wu some rewards!" ”

Princess Leping was still about to say something, but Su Yueran on the side looked at the prince and said with a smile: "The concubine made a pair of hairpins decorated with plum fragrant snow a few days ago, but now it is just right to give it to the fifth sister, I don't know what His Royal Highness thinks?" ”

The prince naturally responded, so Su Yueran ordered someone to fetch a hairpin to give it to Su Peiran.

Su Peiran raised his hands to pick up the box, but he heard a clanging sound, and his sleeves moved, and a milky white round jade pendant slipped out and fell to the ground.

Xie Yunzhi sat next to Su Yueran, and his eyes were very sharp, and he saw the jade clearly at once, and immediately whispered: "Hey, isn't this jade the third cousin's?" ”
