Chapter 384: Playing Chess
Lu Shuyi smiled faintly.
She is not stupid, she can see that Huo Wangye is just underestimating her.
The princess was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, pursed her lips and chuckled: "Didn't the prince say that he wanted to play chess?" Why don't you let Miss Lu accompany you in the next game? ”
Huo Wangye didn't speak, just raised his hand and pointed to a chessboard with red sandalwood inlaid jade on the side.
The princess immediately instructed her servant, "Go and make a pot of dragon well." ”
After Prince Huo sat down, Lu Shuyi also sat opposite Prince Huo generously.
Although she didn't dare to look at the man in front of her, she could clearly feel that Huo Wangye's bearing was different from that of the men of their Lu family, which was by no means comparable to ordinary people, it was the kind of domineering and powerful aura that had been precipitated on the battlefield for a long time.
It's no wonder that the people of Zhili trust Huo Wangye so much.
It's a pity that he ...... to his own children
Lu Shuyi didn't want to think about it anymore, and only concentrated on playing chess. In this game, she didn't plan to lose, if she lost, she would only be looked down upon by Huo Wangye even more in the future.
Even if he didn't agree with her being with Huo Tianyou, she couldn't lose her ambition.
The princess asked people to move a brocade, and she sat quietly beside Lu Shuyi to watch the battle.
The maid carefully brought three hot teas in, and then quietly retreated after putting them down gently, without even a sound of footsteps, which shows that Prince Huo is not a good master to serve on weekdays.
Huo Wangye sat upright, holding a sunspot in one hand, and sipping lightly with a teacup in the other, which showed that he was completely sure to win this game, and he didn't say that Lu Shuyi put it in his eyes.
Lu Shuyi stared intently and took every step very seriously.
The princess observes the situation. The corners of his mouth are slightly wrapped in a smile.
At the beginning of the period, Prince Huo's expression was relaxed, and he drank hot tea one by one. The drop is fast and very leisurely. But slowly, his expression was not so relaxed, and Luozi thought for longer and longer, and his brows became tighter and tighter.
At the beginning of the period, he ate Lu Shuyi several times, but now he is almost surrounded by Lu Shuyi......
He frowned, feeling that he had underestimated the girl in front of him, but it seemed that he had come to his senses too late, and when he left a son behind, the princess pursed her lips and chuckled: "You landed here." This game is going to be lost......"
Huo Wangye frowned, seeing that Lu Shuyi had killed a large part of herself, the defeat had already been decided.
"Lord Wang, I have conceded." Lu Shuyi lowered her eyebrows lightly, she thought that Huo Wangye's face must be ugly at this moment.
Also, a person who has never been defeated on the battlefield suddenly loses in the hands of a yellow-haired girl, this mood is ......
Thinking about it, he must have vomited blood in anger.
Vomit blood, vomit blood, such people. He should also be allowed to vomit.
Huo Wangye's face was pale, and he was angry, angry that he shouldn't underestimate the enemy, and he actually lost to a little girl......
A big old man actually lost to a little girl. Speaking out doesn't make people laugh out of their big teeth.
But he also thought it was very strange, Lu Shuyi was clearly still a little girl, but her chess skills were very sophisticated. Shoot quickly and accurately, it doesn't look like the chess path that a little girl should take at all......
He once again re-examined Lu Shuyi. I think this little girl is indeed a little not simple, not only because of her outstanding appearance. The mind is also very quick, it's just a pity......
If she could be born in the family of the eunuchs, she would indeed be worthy of his son.
In order to show his demeanor, he laughed and said very open-mindedly: "Well, this chess skill is really good. Then he asked Lu Shuyi: "Who did you learn this chess from?" Chess is very sophisticated. ”
The princess's heart was finally relieved, for fear that Prince Huo would be angry because Lu Shuyi had won......
Lu Shuyi replied with a smile: "Back to the prince, the little girl's father likes to play chess, and she has studied with her father for a few days since she was a child. ”
Since childhood, I have been learning chess skills with my father for a few days, so can I be so good? This is not true.
Of course, she didn't say much, Huo Wang Ye didn't want to ask more, so he just nodded and said: "The chess game is good, it's rare that this king is interested, let's have another game, okay?" ”
In fact, he just doesn't want to admit defeat like this, losing to a little girl is too faceless, and he has to pick up face no matter what.
The princess knew what was going on in Huo Wangye's mind, and she secretly gently pushed Lu Shuyi, which meant that Lu Shuyi would lose the chess.
Lu Shuyi understood, but she didn't do it, in the second game, she still went all out, and killed Huo Wangye without leaving a piece of armor.
Huo Wangye's face turned blue at that time, and the princess also secretly said badly, she didn't know if Lu Shuyi didn't understand what she meant, or if she understood it and went her own way......
She felt that Lu Shuyi had angered the prince this time.
However, Lu Shuyi's face was still calm, and she only looked at the endgame with a light smile and said, "Lord Wang, you lost three more ......"
The corners of Huo Wangye's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with a black face for a long time: "One more game......"
The princess silently wiped the sweat from her sideburns, and quietly pushed Lu Shuyi's arm, and Lu Shuyi smiled at her.
The princess couldn't figure out the meaning of this smile, did she understand her intentions or didn't understand?
She looked at it with a blank eye, but the result was that Lu Shuyi won, and it was very easy to win.
Huo Wangye looked at the chessboard and was almost crazy.
He has never played chess with others, and this is the first time that he has lost all three games in three games in a row, and he has lost all face.
But he couldn't get angry in front of him.
If he loses chess, he will get angry, and he can't be a man when it is passed out, and the only thing he thinks of when he plays first is to win against Lu Shuyi.
The princess was afraid of making trouble, so she hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "It's almost noon, the prince might as well take a rest, the concubine will send someone to cook first......" while hurriedly rushing at Lu Shuyi to make a look.
Lu Shuyi was very interested this time, and also persuaded: "The prince's meal is important, and the little girl retreats first." ”
Prince Huo immediately waved his sleeves, and his tone was undoubtedly understood: "No need, you and the princess will have dinner here at noon today, and we will continue to eat when we run out." ”
The princess frowned, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to say, "That concubine is ordered to be clothed." At the same time, he glanced at Lu Shuyi again. asked, "Miss Lu is going to change her clothes?" ”
Lu Shuyi nodded, and the two of them walked out of the study.
The princess's expression was heavy. The two of them walked around the porch until they reached an open garden. The princess stood still, and ordered the people behind her not to follow, she looked at Lu Shuyi, and said gently: "You kid, I pushed you twice, didn't you feel it?" ”
Lu Shuyi nodded and said, "I feel it." ”
The princess frowned: "Then do you know my intentions?" ”
"Yes." Lu Shuyi answered honestly and did not hide it: "I know you want my subordinates to show mercy and not win the prince's ......"
The princess's brows tightened. The tone was also a little heavier: "Since you know my intentions, then you still ......" shook his head and sighed for a while: "Child, you can't be strong for a while, you don't know the temper of the prince, he is sometimes a child, in case you win him, he cares with you in this matter, what can you do?" ”
Lu Shuyi bowed her head silently, she also had her own thoughts.
This time, if she really intends to lose to Huo Wangye. If Huo Wang Ye saw it, could he be happy?
Rather than that, it is better to win yourself, at least with respect for your opponent. At the same time, I also want to let Huo Wang Ye know that she is not such a weak girl.
The princess felt that her tone might be heavy, and she could barely sigh again. took Lu Shuyi's hand and said gently: "Good boy." It's not that I won't let you win, it's just that sometimes people really can't be strong. Of course. I can also see that you are an assertive child, maybe you have your own opinions, and I won't go to the right and left, but I just want to remind you that everything has to be measured, you know? ”
Lu Shuyi was very moved, as a princess, she could say such things to her, it can be seen that she is not regarded as an outsider.
She nodded very seriously, and said, "I just thought, if I deliberately let the water go so that the prince won, wouldn't he be even more angry if he saw it?" After all, this kind of behavior is very disrespectful, right? She said slowly: "Besides, you can also see that the prince has looked down on me from the beginning, and I also have my own integrity......
When the princess heard this, she also felt sour in her heart, nodded her head, stroked her hand and said, "Good boy, I know you have been wronged, but there is nothing you can ...... do"
"No, I don't feel wronged, I'm just afraid that you will be embarrassed." Lu Shuyi smiled happily, but she didn't see the pressure at all, she held the princess's hand and said, "Thank you for helping me." ”
The princess smiled: "If you thank you, let's stay for the future, if you and You'er can really achieve positive results, I just hope that you can serve You'er well." ”
This is what she said in her heart, as long as her son can live well, she will feel good.
Lu Shuyi's face turned red all of a sudden, and she pursed her lips and didn't know what to say, so she whispered for a long time: "It's been a while since we came out, or ...... Shall I help you go back? ”
The princess smiled and nodded: "Okay, go back." ”
The two turned their heads and were about to return the same way, when a woman's delicate voice suddenly came from behind: "Daughter-in-law asks for peace to the concubine." ”
Lu Shuyi helped the princess to turn around, and there was a beauty like a pink ball standing on the bluestone path.
The beauty wore a rose-red silk embroidered pomegranate flower gown, a crab shell blue horse-faced skirt on the lower body, and a pair of embroidered shoes decorated with pearlstone blue slightly exposed a small point, as if there was nothing, mysterious and wonderful. Look at the delicate little face again, the skin is white, almost no flaws can be seen, the red phoenix eyes, the small and straight nose bridge like the jade onion, the red lips seem to be open and closed, and the dew of rose petals is as charming as a rose.
Lu Shuyi doesn't have to guess to know who she is, it must be Huo Tiankang's new wife He Ruyi.
is so beautiful as a flower, no wonder the He family always praises it.
The princess waved her hand and chuckled, "No need to be polite. ”
And Lu Shuyi also obediently bowed to He Ruyi and called: "The princess." ”
He Ruyi was very attentive, stepped forward and grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Miss Lu San doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." At the same time, she looked at her face carefully, and praised again and again: "Well, it is really a rare beauty, ice muscle and jade bones, no wonder ......" She glanced at the princess, swallowed the back half of the words into her stomach, and just smiled and said: "I heard that you often come to accompany the concubine, but it's a pity that we haven't met once, but this time it's very fateful." ”
Lu Shuyi smiled quietly, but did not speak.
The princess changed the topic and asked He Ruyi: "What about the prince?" ”
He Ruyi smiled coquettishly, and seemed to be a little shy: "The prince got up early in the morning and went to the study to practice calligraphy." ”
"This newlywed hasn't passed yet, and he has used it like this......" The princess smiled and said, "It's good to work hard." ”
He Ruyi looked coquettish, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with Huo Tiankang.
Huo Tiankang does not lose to Huo Tianyou in terms of appearance, he is more outstanding than most of his sons and brothers, in terms of talent, he is also full of poetry and books, and he has read the art of war, and he can also do kung fu, such a husband, He Ruyi naturally has nothing to dissatisfaction with.
However, He Ruyi is also a person with a plan in her heart, she married into the Huo family, and now although she is the princess, the Huo family has two sons after all.
And in the past few days since she got married, she has also used many means to find out some news in private, knowing that the two Huo brothers are secretly fighting to the death.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, if Huo Tiankang loses the battle, won't her position as the princess of the world have to be given to others?
She looked at Lu Shuyi quietly, the girl in front of her was even more outstanding than her, her appearance was already extremely beautiful, but Lu Shuyi was even more amazing than her, although she was not as well dressed as her, and her head and face were not as luxurious as her, but the aura exuded by this girl's body was very powerful......
She was superior in everything, and for the first time hesitated in front of such a girl, and even doubted her charm......
Lu Shuyi keenly caught He Ruyi's gaze, but she didn't react, just bowed her head silently.
The princess smiled and said, "Your father has prepared vegetables over there, and I will go and serve your father first." He looked left and right, and instructed the servants around He Ruyi: "Serve the princess well." ”
Everyone promised.
The princess smiled at He Ruyi and turned around with Lu Shuyi.
There is a warm wind blowing from the face, blowing the broken hair on the sideburns, and the corners of the clothes flying, Lu Shuyi's light butterfly-like figure is particularly beautiful and good-looking.
He Ruyi pinched his fingers and looked at it, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice to the personal mother Qu Mama beside him: "Send someone to carefully keep an eye on the girl surnamed Lu......
Lu Shuyi didn't know this, but she could vaguely feel the darkness behind He Ruyi's smile.
Maybe she was miserable by the He family in her previous life, she instinctively didn't have a good impression of the He family, as long as it was the He family, her vigilance would immediately swish.
Especially a beauty like He Ruyi, who can't see through the face behind her, she feels even more in danger.
Similarly, the princess also felt that He Ruyi was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Although this girl has only been married for a few days, she found that He Ruyi was already secretly buying people's hearts and began to win over her own people. (To be continued......)
