Chapter 133 Facing the Surface

Today's banquet is also tense, Concubine Hou Xian originally planned to take the opportunity to suppress Qin Shujiu's arrogance, who knew that if the suppression failed, she would be embarrassed, and a person with such a temperament would not be able to swallow that breath, no matter how the coquettish smile on her face was restored, but the eyes that fell on Qin Shujiu always carried hatred and indignation, but she couldn't wait to stare at a few holes in her.

However, there is only one person who has a fire on this leisure banquet, and no one can guess clearly what is in the hearts of others, and it is also under the song and dance that the poetry is reciprocated, and the comfort on the face is also refreshing. Although Su Die also asked Qin Shujiu in private, where to offend Concubine Hou Xian, which actually made her more and more difficult for her recently, but Qin Shujiu's answer was nothing more than about grace, but it also made Su Die not ask more, but paid attention to Concubine Hou Xian by the way.

The battle for grace is the most common in the palace, that is, it is prudent everywhere to be careful and vigilant in order to bless oneself with peace and stability, and there is nothing else for the concubines and concubines in the palace to get together, and it is enough to have a harmonious face. Yashi watched the play and had a lot of leisure, and she also rested a lot, that is, the occasional gathering, and then Queen Zheng was dispersed, both the banquet could be dispersed, and the concubines were bowing and saluting, until Queen Zheng left first, she got up and wanted to leave the Lingyin Pavilion.

Today, I played a few games with Liqing, and then I went to Queen Zheng's banquet, and now the queen mother said that she could scatter and feel a little tired, when she saw that Queen Zheng left the Lingyin Pavilion Qin Shujiu was about to leave the pavilion and go back to the palace to rest, who knew that he had just walked a few steps to see Concubine Hou Xian to the front. Seeing that Concubine Hou Xian had arrived, Qin Shujiu stopped and then bowed, and said respectfully: "The concubine has seen Concubine Xian. ”

"Excuse me." didn't embarrass her again at the ceremony, Concubine Xian signaled to get up, and only after Qin Shujiu got up and stood up did she look at Qin Shujiu and then said with a smile: "Sister Jiao has often entered the Yanying Palace to serve His Majesty recently?" A few days ago, Prince Han just set up a few new games, because the concubine was also on his side, so His Majesty often ordered the concubine to enter the Yanying Palace, just so that he could find a way to solve it in the last few games. ”

"Originally to crack Prince Han's chess game? Majesty has always been like this. If you don't know anything, your mind is put on it, and it makes people helpless. He sighed and laughed, then raised his hand to lightly cut his hair and sideburns, turned sideways slightly, and then glanced at Qin Shujiu obliquely, his eyes were raised, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. Concubine Hou Xian continued: "This palace has no talent, no virtue and is not good at these, but it is hard for my sister to accompany His Majesty to serve on the side. However, this palace is also often heard that the gentleman seeks to learn, not to be complacent with self-knowledge, earlier he did not know the true meaning of this word, but now he understands it. Now that I see the sisters in the palace, they are good at one or two, but the palace is outstanding without learning. I just want to learn this two chess games so that I can solve my worries for His Majesty in the future, but unfortunately I can't find a suitable teaching master. ”

At this point, he stopped, and then smiled and paused for a while before continuing: "Since Your Majesty often summons Sister Miao to serve and accompany the game, I want to come to Sister Yao's chess skills should be high, but I don't know if Sister Miao can have time to sit in the palace of the main palace, and also teach this way of playing chess by the way." ”

It is also clear that Concubine Hou Xian invited her to the greenhouse hall, and on the surface, she said that she would ask for advice on the chess game, but in fact, what kind of thoughts were hidden in her heart was to think about it. This invitation must not be good, Qin Shujiu should be clear in his heart. But he also knew that he refused to refuse, so he lowered his head and was about to reply, but who knew that Su Die, who heard it on the side, spoke first.

No one knows what kind of thoughts Concubine Hou Xian hid, but she knew that this invitation was not kind, so she stepped forward and said, "Concubine Xian Niangniang is inviting you to drink?" It's really unfortunate that the concubine has just been invited to Shujiu, but now there is something going on. ”

"Something's going on?" Hearing Su Die's words, Concubine Hou Xian looked at her, and then smiled: "What's the matter with these two sisters?" Isn't it that His Majesty passed on two sisters at the same time? After asking, Su Die replied: "It's not Your Majesty, but ......" After only half of the words, she asked Concubine Hou Xian to interrupt, but she still smiled when she looked at Su Die. Concubine Hou Xian said softly: "It's not a matter of the moment and a half that is not summoned by His Majesty, and this palace has to learn such a profound chess game, that is, to learn the beginning?" How? Could it be that Sister Su can't even wait for such time? Or rather, I think the greenhouse temple of the main palace is too small. Please don't go? ”

The language is a joke, but the words are not funny, Hou Xianfei's words can be strict, and she doesn't want to take the opportunity to call Hou Xianfei to find trouble again, Qin Shujiu hurriedly responded: "Thanks to Niangniang's love, if Niangniang doesn't dislike the concubine, she should play a few games with Niangniang." ”

"Since my sister said it. Then let's go, this palace is very curious, what kind of layout can my sister call His Majesty Xià Day, and the day summoned him to play in the Yanying Palace. After speaking, he smiled softly at Qin Shujiu, and then walked forward and left. Even if he bowed and bowed, Qin Shujiu also followed. Because she was worried about Qin Shujiu, Su Die, who was thinking about it, was not clear, so as to prevent Concubine Hou Xian from taking the opportunity to embarrass Qin Shujiu.

In the greenhouse hall, because it was ordered by the mother, the chess game was prepared early in the morning, and they could play the game after they entered the palace to sit and rest. Although Concubine Hou Xian said that she was not good at chess, the layout was very good, and the beginning was not as strong as a while, but she was not the kind of novice who needed to be taught by others. But it was a direct match with Ma Wei at the beginning, and it was also a metaphor for chess, but it was a warning of suppression.

Concubine Hou Xian's chess is completely different from the character she revealed, but she is not soft and just entered, but Qin Shujiu is also an expert in this way, although she did not calculate that Concubine Hou Xian's layout was so ruthless at the beginning, but she still quickly found a way to crack it, and when she got to the back, she avoided danger in front of her. It was the elbow propped up on the desk to watch Qin Shujiu break the chess game he had set up in the previous step, and Concubine Hou Xian held a sunspot fingertip to play, and only after some thought did she drop the chess piece.

The chess pieces fell on the board and made a low crisp sound, and Concubine Hou Xian said with a smile: "My sister is really an expert, just now the situation in the palace thought that she would win, but she never thought that my sister had a few white pieces to ruin the palace's good chess game, and it was really wonderful." ”

said with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were not moving, and he didn't look at Qin Shujiu, but his words were right for her. It was Concubine Hou Xian who was behind Qin Shujiu, and then said: "Niangniang's layout is very wonderful, although the concubine is not talented, she has also accompanied Her Majesty Xià for several games, and Her Majesty Xià personally taught even if you can't learn half of it, you can get one or two, and the way to crack it is to borrow Your Majesty's chess path, but it is also in danger. ”

After saying that, Concubine Hou Xian smiled, and then she fell into place. Concubine Xian said: "It turned out that there was His Majesty Xià behind to help, no wonder my sister's layout was so easy just now, so that the palace can only sigh." His Majesty is the most successful person in the palace, and the chess game is also invincible. It is to have the help of His Majesty one or two in this chess game, which has taken a good chance to win, and it is also envied by the palace. ”

Under the words, there were already a few words between each other, and after the words, Qin Shujiu replied: "Niangniang's words are serious, although Your Majesty is a capable person, but this chess game is still the guide of the master of the chess game after all." If the person who plays chess is not capable, even if His Majesty is personally taught, he will definitely lose. But if the person who plays chess is also a capable person, it is His Majesty's unintentional, and this chess game can also make people live and die. ”

"My sister is really a person who has realized everything, and what she said is a sudden understanding, but there is one place where my sister said it." Suddenly, he smiled and then held a sunspot, and then landed on the plate, and the concubine smiled: "Even if your majesty's heart is exquisite, but this chess game is ever-changing, if you feel that your chess game has no mistakes, you can eventually make people find flaws, if you are not careful." But it's going to be the other way around. ”

The people laughed lightly, and the chess game was also very tight, so this game was won by Concubine Hou Xian, Qin Shujiu was in danger of avoiding Concubine Hou Xian's encirclement, originally thought that the chess game was temporarily stable, but she never thought that her few sunspots would go down but would turn the situation back. Now in this chess game, it seems that the sunspot has taken the lead in many opportunities, but what about the white? But it is precarious, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

Concubine Hou Xian always said that she was not good at this, but in fact, she was very deep in her mind on the chess game, but it was a pity that no matter how deep her mind was, she still couldn't count the heavy Qin Shujiu in the city. Sometimes the advantage of age is not a real advantage. The mind of the harmless person is often far more cruel than that of the ruthless person.

Concubine Hou Xian had already decided the chess game, but she was also relieved, she leaned back slightly, and then looked at Qin Shujiu, who was frowning and contemplative, and watched her hold the white child for half a day. Concubine Hou Xian said with a smile: "Sister, this chess game has been decided, even if you call Your Majesty at this time, it is useless, you will lose." After saying this, he smiled again, and he smiled like this, but after a while, he suddenly saw Qin Shujiu's complexion turn from condensation to slight joy, and he looked at the chess game as if he had found a reverse opportunity. Qin Shujiu said.

"Niangniang's game is really wonderful, but at a glance, people mistakenly think that she has entered a Jedi." said this with a smile, and then the white son in his hand also fell, and the white child fell on the chessboard with a crisp sound, and then Qin Shujiu withdrew his hand and said: "Niangniang, look, now in this situation, Niangniang's sunspot can still win the game?" Seeing Qin Shujiu smile like this, Concubine Hou Xian straightened her body and then leaned forward to take a look, she carefully took the situation in front of her, and after taking a look, Concubine Hou Xian's face sank. is no longer the soft smile that Fang Cai has the chance to win, and now Concubine Hou Xian's face is a little ugly.

Just sank his face and then stared at the chess game, and after a while, Concubine Hou Xian said coldly: "Sister Yao's move is even better." After speaking, Qin Shujiu hurriedly got up and saluted, and then said: "Niang Niang praised it falsely, the concubine just borrowed the bureau of Niang Niang to govern the situation, and the situation laid by Niang Niang was a killing move at a glance, and Heizi seemed to have forced Bai Zi into a desperate situation." However, as long as the chess game is set by people, there will always be a flaw, no matter how good it is, you can always find a way to solve it, even if you find this place, it is useless to think about it. ”

Bowing his head and looking back, Qin Shujiu was also humble and obedient to the answer, even if the answer was impeccable, it made Concubine Hou Xian's face even more ugly, when she was angry, she couldn't help but vent her anger in front of her, so she endured it and then said: "My sister is a lot of thoughts, Your Majesty always likes to summon her sister to play in the Yanying Palace, this game is really a defeat in the palace." ”

Displeasure is natural, but Concubine Hou Xian still admits defeat and then motions for Qin Shujiu to get up. The two of them are playing chess, but what is right is to compete for favor, even Su Die also heard it, and she was sweating for Qin Shujiu in her heart, but now she is relieved to be at ease, and when she is out of the way, she swept the chess game, Su Die said.

"Although I am not good at chess, I can still understand the situation, but I am victorious with alcohol." With a move to take advantage of the situation, Concubine Houxian's game is very, but no matter how clever she is, she can't fight Qin Shujiu's skill, and she also lost her wife and fell into an uncomfortable situation. In her heart, she was unhappy, but now she called Su Die like this, she didn't care whether Su Die understood the words of the two of them, she was unhappy in her heart.

The anger was a little extreme, but Concubine Hou Xian didn't say anything, just smiled softly, and then said: "This chess game is not even ready for tea, Jun Yu, why don't you watch tea for Su Chongyuan and Miao Jieyu?" After hearing Concubine Hou Xian's fate, Junyu should have responded to the debt, and then withdrew from the dormitory. When Jun Yu bent down and withdrew from the hall, Concubine Xian suddenly stopped, and then looked at Qin Shujiu with a smile, and then said: "There is actually a lot of tea in this palace, Sister Su and Sister Miao have never walked around with this palace, and to be honest, I don't know what kind of tea the two sisters are good at." Although the tea that entered the palace is all good, the quality of different teas is also different, and if the wrong tea is served, it will make the two sisters uncomfortable. ”

When it came to this, people couldn't figure out what Concubine Hou Xian meant, Qin Shujiu replied: "Niangniang's words are serious, Niangniang's words are not as good as anything in this palace, how can the concubine feel uncomfortable." ”

After returning, he saw Concubine Hou Xian shaking her head, and then said: "No matter how good things are, if they don't go well, it's not good, this palace doesn't want to make the two sisters feel sluggish, even the palace people around the two sisters also go down together, what this sister loves is the palace people who serve around her are the clearest, so as not to make anything wrong." ”

Since Concubine Hou Xian insisted on this, then they could only comply, and at that moment, Qin Shujiu looked at the curtain serving beside him and then said, "Go ahead." And Su Die also ordered Chu Meng on his side to go with him.

After receiving the order, the two of them should go down, that is, they chatted a few more words in the dormitory, and suddenly there was an exclamation from outside, and the cry of surprise made the people in the hall also confused, and then they received the gossip and then looked at each other in confusion, and then got up and went out.
