153. Chapter 155
If someone wants to borrow the hand of the concubine to deal with Shang Moxin, it is likely that he has already acted.
Lin Dongyao whispered a few words to Nian Zheng, Nian Zheng's expression was slightly cold, and he immediately turned around and quickly exited the hall.
On the other side, the full moon saw Nian Zheng leave in a hurry and didn't say anything. When he looked up, Lin Dongyao on the opposite side shook the wine glass in his hand, as if he was clinking glasses with her to celebrate.
"Little Dezi, bring up my warm and cold jade chess pieces." In the strange thoughts of the queen mother and the concubines, the emperor spoke coldly.
Everyone knows that the emperor likes cold and warm jade chess pieces, and it seems that tonight is going to witness the magic of cold and warm jade chess pieces.
Xiao Dezi presented the cold and warm jade chess pieces, and the emperor nodded to the queen mother.
"Come on, declare the fox full moon."
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, Ling Hu Hongxi's face changed slightly, didn't Ling Hu Pingxue think about it at home? What did she come to the palace for?
Linghu Quan's eyes also flashed with solemnity.
What is Linghu Pingxue still doing in the palace? Don't you think the first few times are shameful enough?
Ling Huquan looked at the full moon, and seeing that the full moon looked peaceful, Ling Huquan nodded at her, but there was uneasiness in his heart. Linghu Pingxue framed the full moon everywhere, and now that he has entered the palace, he is afraid that he will not let go of the full moon!
This is in the palace, if Ling Hu Pingxue is really so disproportionate, Ling Hu Quan will not be polite to her again.
As the Queen Mother's voice fell, Linghu Pingxue and the second lady entered the hall together.
Both mother and daughter have been carefully dressed up.
Especially Linghu Pingxue, before people walked in, there was a quiet fragrance that slowly hit and gradually spread to every corner of the hall. Linghu Pingxue, who was wearing a light purple layered color dress, moved the lotus step to the center of the hall, even if it was just a low eyelid, it also made the hall shine, and the whole body was ringing and tinkling, and the quiet fragrance on the body complemented each other, which was beautiful.
The full moon never denied it, making Hu Pingxue's appearance overwhelming.
"Linghu Pingxue, you have already mourned your family to find you, this time there is no room for any mistakes." The Queen Mother spoke coldly, and her tone and expression had a momentum of not being angry and self-assured.
Linghu Pingxue raised her head slowly, although the makeup on her face was exquisite, but in order to cover up her dull scars, the rouge puff was inevitably a little heavy, and her whole face looked too gaudy and vulgar from a distance.
Although the Queen Mother didn't like Linghu Pingxue to wear such heavy makeup, but now it is for the emperor's favor, cold and warm jade chess pieces, and the Queen Mother didn't say anything.
Linghu Pingxue held a decent and elegant smile and spoke softly,
"Please rest assured that the queen mother must remember the teachings of the queen mother." Linghu Pingxue's voice was extremely gentle today, and there was even a trace of excited trill, and the scalp of the listener felt numb.
Lin Ran looked at Linghu Pingxue with a foolish look in his eyes, and couldn't take his eyes off for a moment.
Lin Donghe looked at Linghu Pingxue again at this moment, but he was not a little surprised, he only felt that it was vulgar. Thinking about it, I was fascinated by her at the beginning, but now, I can't see it well.
Linghu Pingxue is a girl from a family who was born on the eighth day of the eighth month of August at the moment, and has the magical ability to change the cold and warm jade chess pieces, and for a while, the second lady also added light to her face.
The second lady unconsciously looked in the direction of Linghu Manyue, and saw that Manyue's expression was light and natural, and the hatred in the second lady's heart increased. If it weren't for the old lady who accidentally got the cold and warm jade chess pieces and thought of such a method, Pingxue would not have had a chance to turn over!
The little one Linghu Full Moon still wants to fight with the old lady! Fight her! It's just beyond my means!
Linghu Pingxue was also full of excitement and pride at the moment. This is a great time for her to turn over and change her fate, she must take advantage of it! From now on, there will never be a place for Linghu Full Moon again!
The second lady and Linghu Pingxue couldn't have imagined at this moment that the so-called cold and warm jade chess pieces obtained by chance were actually a meeting gift from Zhao Yu'er to the old lady, and the idea was naturally Zhao Yu'er's idea.
If Zhao Yu'er wants to enter the Hou Mansion smoothly, she must pass the old lady's pass.
Before coming back, Zhao Yu'er had a clear grasp of all aspects of the Hou Mansion. Since Linghu Manyue returned to the Hou Mansion was decided by the old lady to relax, Zhao Yu'er knew that if she wanted to come back, she had to pass the old lady's pass.
But if the old lady agrees to enter the mansion, it will make the second lady dissatisfied with the old lady's decision. Although the second lady will not say it explicitly, she will definitely have a problem in her heart.
Zhao Yuer sold such a big favor to the old lady.
Taking advantage of her injury to grow up and entering the Hou Mansion, the old lady knew that there was a problem, but because of the benefits of Zhao Yu'er, she would not really stop it. And the cold and warm jade chess pieces that Zhao Yuer gave to the old lady and her ideas also helped the old lady a lot.
Zhao Yu'er knew that the old lady's favorite was Linghu Pingxue, and if she could make Linghu Pingxue soar, it would be the old lady's wish. and also let the second lady be grateful to the old lady.
Although the Queen Mother doesn't like Linghu Pingxue's dress today, the cold and warm jade chess pieces are the things that the emperor has always loved, even if there was a lot of unhappiness before, the Queen Mother will wait for this matter to pass before thinking about it in the long run.
"Prince, your birthday is also on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, so you and Linghu Pingxue will go to the courtyard to enlighten the cold and warm jade chess pieces."
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Jian thoughtfully.
Compared with Lin Jian's calm and free and easy and respectful Linghu Pingxue, there is really no such match. The Queen Mother couldn't help muttering a little in her heart, no wonder Lin Jian just didn't look down on Linghu Pingxue, and she couldn't last long to show her appearance. Even though Linghu Pingxue is the appearance of the country and the city, he will be tired of it if he looks at it for a long time.
Linghu Pingxue didn't know the Queen Mother's mind at the moment, she only knew that she must seize this rare opportunity to turn over completely.
Lin Jian and Linghu Pingxue came to the courtyard together, but the fragrance that originally permeated the main hall did not disperse for a long time.
The queen smelled the fragrance, frowned unconsciously, turned her head to look at the Queen Mother, and saw that the Queen Mother was also contemplative, and the Queen whispered in the Queen Mother's ear,
"Queen Mother, the taste of this incense powder is very special."
"Indeed." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
"I'll ask Linghu Pingxue later, where did you buy this incense powder?"
"Hmm." The Queen Mother nodded, and also felt that the smell of this incense powder was very special, as if she had smelled such a special smell a long, long time ago, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Lin Jian and Linghu Pingxue sat in the courtyard, under the white moonlight, the two sat facing each other, and there were two colors of cold and warm jade chess pieces in the middle, one black and one white.
The two began to play chess face to face according to the book that Lin Nande had found.
At the previous concubine selection banquet, Linghu Pingxue's talent was to play chess, but at that time, she was aggressive and imposing like a rainbow in every move, but today, in the face of Lin Jian's elegance and nobility, she was calm and unhurried. Linghu Pingxue's heart was full of deer, and his gestures were cautious and gentle.
In the main hall, the full moon and clear eyes swept over everyone quickly, the emperor stared intently at the scene in the courtyard, Shang Moxin sat quietly beside the emperor with his eyes lowered, without the pretense posture of other concubines, Shang Moxin was simple and calm, without any delicate and pretentious attitude.
The Queen Mother also looked at the courtyard intently, but looked outside the hall from time to time, if the full moon was not mistaken, the Queen Mother should be looking for the trace of Xiao Lizi. The Queen Mother asked Xiao Lizi to go to Concubine An to deliver a letter, wanting to provoke the contradiction between Concubine An and Shang Moxin. But Xiao Lizi has been gone for a long time and has not come back now.
The Queen Mother was a little worried, and sent two more people to find Xiao Lizi.
Full Moon raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lin Dongyao, who had a calm expression on the other side.
With Lin Dongyao's consistent style, Xiao Lizi can't come back! Not only can't people come back, but the bodies can't be found! This echoed Lin Dongyao's decisive and resolute style.
The chessboard in the courtyard continues, and no changes have been seen yet.
Before the full moon, I suspected that this qiē was secretly planned by the old lady, or with the help of Zhao Yu'er. The so-called eighth day of the eighth month of August is just a disguise, if you want to make the cold and warm jade chess pieces change, Linghu Pingxue will definitely make a move on the chessboard.
But at present, Linghu Pingxue has not moved. Except for when you get each chess piece, you will put it in the palm of your hand and rub it a few times with the fingertips of your other hand, and there is nothing special about it.
The full moon's gaze couldn't help but fall on Lin Jian.
This is the first time she has seen him play chess, and the so-called personable and good manners refer to Lin Jian at this moment.
Bing Run's slender fingers gently twisted the black chess piece, holding it between the index finger and the middle finger, and the shiny chess piece emitted a cool light unique to the gem, like the deep brightness of his pair of pupils.
But there was still a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, smiling like a drunken drunk.
Linghu Pingxue on the other side didn't dare to look up at him at all, she only felt that Lin Donghe had a special temperament, cold and noble, and made people look up in awe, but now face to face with Lin Jian, Linghu Pingxue can feel what true elegance and nobility are.
Every detail in the gestures can stand up to scrutiny and careful consideration.
Unconsciously, Ling Hu Pingxue's cheeks were stained with two scarlets.
"It's your turn."
Seeing that Linghu Pingxue was slow to move, Lin Jian reminded her in a low voice.
"—Ah, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."
This is the first time Lin Jian has taken the initiative to talk to Linghu Pingxue, and it is still such a low and beautiful voice, Linghu Pingxue hurriedly came back to his senses, and forgot to rub the chess pieces in the palm of his hand for a while, and when the chess pieces fell, Ling Hu Pingxue subconsciously took the chess pieces back and rubbed them a few times in the palm of his hand, and then put them back again.
Although the action is fast, it exudes an eerie urgency.
Full Moon Pupils contracted instantly, although she saw that the key was in Linghu Pingxue's small movements, but what the effect of her rubbing the chess pieces was, Full Moon still had no way of knowing.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I got used to it just now - I was also used to it when I was playing chess in the Hou Mansion." Linghu Pingxue had a shy and weak expression, which seemed casual, but in fact, it was difficult to hide a trace of panic in her eyes. I only hope that her small action just now did not attract the attention of Lin Jian and others.
