Yongning Palace, the ministers retreated.

Hua Xiyan was grinding the ink block in her hand, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was grinding, anyway, she was grinding like that, it was better, it was better than being face to face with this dog emperor, and I didn't know what he wanted to say about her.

Li Shunde took a clean handkerchief, Li Zimo wiped his hands, and said, "How long has it been since I wrote?" ”

"Back to the saint, the last time you wrote a message to the Queen Mother's birthday, it was last year." Li Shunde replied.

"Yan Shangshu, how do you say I will praise you?"

Silver taels, gold, popped up in Hua Xiyan's mind.

"I'll write you a letter."

The ink block that had been sharpened like a fish in water stopped suddenly, and Xiu Mei wrung his eyebrows: what did she want his words to do? By the way, the emperor's words should be very valuable, and Gai Ming'er will have money when he sells it out of the palace, maybe he can sell it at auction, and he can get a high price, and he and his son will not be short of money in the future.

"The women of the people, thank you, Lord Longen."

"Xie Zhen?" Look at her again, she looks like she is low-eyed again, he feels dazzling when he looks at it, and the cloud eyebrows and the corners of his lips are obliquely hooked.

"The Holy One wants to give the women calligraphy and paintings, which is the honor of the women."

"Then you turned around and immediately sold my calligraphy and paintings."

…… This dog emperor's eyes are needles, and he can actually see into her little abacus.

"I tell you, if you dare to sell the calligraphy and paintings I gave to others or give them to others, once they are no longer in your hands, I will cut off your head."

Bei Yan bit twice on her delicate lips: Don't sell your words, what will I do with it! Hang on your own wall and look at it every day? Can you see the gold? Only rich people have the spare energy to do literary things, my sister is not a rich person, and my sister needs to raise her son.

The rice paper is paved, the brush is inked, and it is swayed on the paper, and it does not take a moment for a few big characters to fly and dance on the white paper. The pen is clean, sharp, and full of peaks, just like his people, beauty is beauty, and plunder is the essence.

"Frame the words, and then give them to Yan Shangshu." After writing the four big characters in a chic manner, he stopped writing and asked Li Shunde to clean up.

The brush rested on the inkstone, and she didn't look up, as if she was not interested in what he wrote. No matter how strong her self-esteem is, she can be ruined to nothing.

The eyebrows were furrowed, and his hand pretended to pull up the cuffs: "Is my writing ugly?" ”

"Folk women are only shallow in learning, but they don't know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting. The holy word is the best in the world. ”

"I should say that the most valuable thing is my payment."

Li Shunde listened to Long Yan's gritted teeth, sweating profusely, and looked straight at Hua Xiyan: Grandma, what did you do to offend the emperor? Don't you know that our lives are in the hands of this man?

Hua Xiyan didn't want to, but didn't she praise him? If you want to talk about the problem, is it good for him to pester her and compete?

"Li Shunde, what are you doing in a daze?"

Li Shunde's forehead sweats even more, it is easy to be a slave, once Long Yan is angry, he will not take the beauty under the knife, he will only use the slave. Hurriedly packed up his things, held the holy calligraphy and paintings in both hands, and retreated.

The ink block in Hua Xiyan's hand grinded unhurriedly, doing this kind of work can be recuperating. In her ears, there was a constant wind blowing, and the sound of her clothes rubbing was endless.

Looking at her immovable and unshakable temperament, she can have the idea of driving people crazy.

Is it because he hasn't touched a woman in too long? So much so that now when I see an ugly girl with a scar on her face, I can feel sorry for her.

Hua Xiyan only felt a hand suddenly around her waist from behind, and before she could struggle, her body was pulled back.

The dark eyes were as deep as a pool, and they were aggressively facing her.

"You can't read my words? In front of me, you have the words to debunk the fake knowledge of my courtiers, you Yan Shangshu is only eight buckets, better than me, better than Taifu, dare to call yourself just a country woman? ”

Eyebrows drooped slightly: "The people only know a little about what the saint and the saint's courtiers don't know." ”

His thin fingertips grabbed her chin and pressed it hard: "Solve the Yi Rong Dan in your body!" ”

Since she herself doesn't know who the father of the child is, let's first solve another question in his heart. As long as he unravels the Yi Rong Dan in her body and reveals her true face of Lushan, right away, he can make a decision.

"Yi Rongdan, the women can't solve it." Hua Xiyan was forced to squeeze out this sentence, and there was a trace of emotion in her heart.

That day, she took the Yi Rong Dan left in the Hua family's box to take it, and she thought that this thing could be automatically lifted. Because there is no antidote to this pill in the box. Where do you know the way, to this day, there is no sign of unraveling and transfiguration. It's just that she herself has a son, and she has never cared much about her appearance. Ancient beauties suffered many disasters, so that she actually had a sense of rejection in her heart for the beautiful face. For the safety of her and her son, ugliness is better than beauty.

But what she said, to the ears of the dog emperor, must have been unbelieving at first, as if what she said was a lie in his ears.

"Can't solve it?"

The cold air above her head sprayed in bursts, brushing her façade.

"Do you think I can't handle you?!"

Gritting her teeth, Hua Xiyan was also bored in her heart: "Holy Lord, why did the folk woman lie to you?" If he really wants to lie to you, why should he go back to the palace with you? ”

In a trance, the look on her face didn't look like a fake. No, she may still be acting, still lying to him, a clever liar. If that was the case, he should have thrown her into prison and let Gong Xiangru interrogate her. But he didn't. Especially when he thought of his son, he once begged him to save her with tears in his eyes. Is it just because of his son? I can't help but say that just when she said it in front of him that Zhu Erkang was defeated, the shock in his heart was no less than that of the time when he watched someone play that cinnabar in front of the gazebo.

The moment her fingertips reached her neckline, her body jerked.

"Holy?"

"What do you think I'm doing with a woman by my side?" A low, wicked laugh swept through her ears.

Well, it's she who overestimated the dog emperor's IQ. I thought he just wanted to torture her and use her as a subordinate.

I saw that her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were obedient, which made his eyebrows lock very tightly, and his fingers naturally let go of her. He didn't have the interest to force a woman.

Hua Xiyan touched her neckline and exhaled softly.

Over there, he shot a gaze, as if he caught her breath, his ink eyes were slightly tight, and the streamer that shot out seemed to not let go of the slightest expression on her face.

Hua Xiyan's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and said: "The folk woman is in the market, and I am fortunate to hear that the saint has been placed in the world, and she only favors one woman in this life." ”

He wanted to use this to generalize his army. After saying this, he will definitely be furious and thunderous. After all, it was a thorn in his heart.

However, the dragon's heart is unpredictable, referring to the man in front of her. I felt that his gaze at her made her feel as if she had been stripped of her clothes, and her whole body was looked at by him cleanly, and he was good, a pair of eyes were like the deep sea, no one could see clearly.

For a long time, I only heard him say that it was not salty or light: "In my life, I only love one woman." ”

It is difficult for a gentleman to chase a horse, let alone the Son of Heaven.

In the blink of an eye, he had brushed his sleeves and went out.

Xiu's eyebrows tightened slightly, and for some reason, his heart was a little up and down because of his move.

Li Shunde came in from outside, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to her: "Yan Shangshu, our saint's temper is like this. You can't talk back to the saints, it's you who suffers. ”

Hua Xiyan also felt that she should reflect: "Xie Lu Xie Gonggong reminded." ”

Li Shunde squinted at her for a while.

"Father-in-law?"

"It's fine. If Yan Shangshu wants to go anywhere in the future, remember to talk to the miscellaneous family. A woman with a wide range of knowledge like Yan Shangshu is really unprecedented. ”

Xing Yan narrowed, knowing that the other party meant well. Today, she showed her hand, and in the eyes of many people in this turbulent court, she may have become a thorn.

Li Zimo walked aimlessly, a little aimlessly, and suddenly turned his head and said to the little eunuch who followed behind: "I want to go to the prince's palace, don't disturb the prince." ”

Recently, the crown prince has only studied in the prince's palace. From today, there is one more little companion who can go to the prince's palace to accompany the prince to study. This can be said to be almost unprecedented in all dynasties.

After Zhang Ming first faced the saint in the Yongning Palace, he came to the prince's palace and prepared to give some new lessons to the little prince. Especially what he saw and heard in the Yongning Hall today, he suddenly felt a great touch in his heart, and felt that this emperor's education should not only read ethics and morality, but also teach some folk common sense.

Entering the Guangyang Palace, two small figures, one sitting and the other standing. From the back, it is almost a mold coming out.

Xiao Mumu got up in the morning, disappeared from his mother, and was blocking his stomach. The most angry thing is that his mother actually asked someone to send him a message, asking him to study hard here. That nasty man, even his mother is on crutches, and he is going to study!

Li Dongyu flipped through the book on the side, and said in a warm and jade-like voice, "Sit down." Aren't you tired of standing? ”

"Don't sit!" As long as Xiao Mumu looks at him, he will think of his father, and then he will think of his father and his mother.

"What are you angry about?" The heroic and steady little eyebrows raised slightly, "Because you want to study?" ”

The kid asked knowingly. Xiao Mumu sat down, crossed his legs on the chair, and pouted: "Let me tell you, last time, you said that you would let me eat and drink here for nothing, but you didn't let me help you study here." As a result, I was almost beaten by the old man. ”

"Old man? Are you talking about Mrs. Zhang? ”

"What do I care you are? I'm in the countryside, and the teachers in the countryside can't control me. I can't be taught, I can't learn anything. ”

Li Dongyu listened to his complaints, and the corners of his elegant lips couldn't help but rise. This child looks like him, but his temperament is not like him at all, making him feel like his younger brother. Especially thinking that in the Hua family, this child is called a wild seed by mouth, which makes him feel a lot of pity for him. Of course, more importantly, Xiao Mumu is not at all like any of the children he has come into contact with before.

He is the little prince, since he was a child, the children who can get along with him are at least the children of aristocratic families. The children of aristocratic families are either pampered or scheming at a young age. Of course, this is all forced by the environment, and I can't complain about these children, he was born in the imperial family, and he is no exception, so Yun Chenjing has always said that he is not like seven years old but like seventy years old.

If he hides his inner thoughts from time to time, so that no one knows the truth, it will affect the people he likes. This is what his father taught him since he was a child, and he remembers the sentence the most. Because Li Shunde once said that his mother is gone because of this.

From Little to Big, Chapter 063. What does it mean to stand like a loose seat and sit like a clock? ”

Xiao Mumu stood up with the brush on his nose, the child had good balance, the brush on the top of his nose was motionless, did not fall off, and spit out in his small mouth: "My mother taught me, she took a bowl and put it on top of my head and let me practice." ”

It means that Old Man Zhang wants to teach him a lesson, it's too pediatric. He is a person who has been reborn from the fire in his mother's devil training.

Not unexpectedly, Zhang Ming sat down first, panting in a breath: "Okay, okay, you stand for me like this." ”

"How long to stand? My mother told me to stand for a few days and nights. ”

Father-in-law Zhang was busy stroking Zhang Mingxian's back, afraid that Zhang Mingxian would roll his eyes first, and at the same time he was anxious, not knowing what to do.

Li Dongyu's small eyebrows raised slightly, while looking at this scene interestingly, on the other hand, he also felt that Zhang Mingxian's method, maybe it was okay to teach other children, to teach Xiao Mumu, that was to move a stone to hit his own feet, for a moment, he was also a little afraid that Zhang Ming would be sick by Xiao Mu first. But speaking of which, who will be able to restrain this child? It's not that he thinks too highly of this child, he feels that this child is like a ball of fire, not everyone can suppress it.

A familiar feeling came in through the window. The corner of his eye glanced out casually, and when he glanced at the dragon robe, his heart was suddenly shocked: Dad?

The other people in the room soon noticed that they were standing outside the window and looking inside, and they might have seen Long Yan passing by.

Zhang Mingxian's old face suddenly appeared ashamed.

No one went out to salute, because they all knew the habit of Li Zimo. It's not the first time I've come to visit the prince to study. Often, but, quietly come and go. Li Zimo has always believed that he can't disturb the teacher to teach his son, because that will affect the teacher's prestige in his son's mind. hired a teacher for his son, and he should pay more attention to respecting teachers.

Fortunately, his son never let him down. In just a few years, his son won the title of the first son in the world.

The son who is too well-behaved and too good almost makes him forget to teach his children.

Seeing Zhang Mingxian's embarrassed old face, and then looking at the same small back as his son, between his eyebrows and frowning slightly, almost without thinking, he stepped into his son's school for the first time.

Everyone was taken aback, and then hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Long live my emperor." ”

"It's all excused."

Go around to the only child who didn't bow down to him.

Xiao Mu Mu looked at him with the corners of his small mouth crooked, and two big words were written in white with his two small eyes: hate!

This kid has the same temperament as his mother, but it made him move in his heart and decided to sit in the teacher's position.

"Mrs. Zhang, what class are you going to give to the students today?"

"Back to the Holy Heavens." Zhang Ming said first, "Today, the old man wants to give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a lecture on the Water Scripture, which should be a reading book that the prince has never touched. As for this child, it is said that he has never really studied, and the old man can only start teaching from the Three Character Classic. ”

"Three characters have been taught by my mother." Xiao Mumu looked at the man who had pit him, and he was bound to stand up.

"Since your mother has taught you, you look back." The ink eyes looked at this stubborn little face like a calf, as if he was interested.

This is not simple, casually picked: "At the beginning of people, like pigs." ”

Everyone wiped sweat on their foreheads: What is this kid carrying?

Zhang Ming thought about fainting first. This child has been taught for several years, and this child can only memorize this sentence, and the consequences of his Zhang Mingxian in the future can be imagined.

Xiao Mumu raised two small eyebrows proudly: Who dares to teach him to read?

Li Dongyu, who was standing in front of his father, was a little nervous, because he knew his father's temperament, the more daring he was, the more his father would compete.

Hearing the man, he grabbed the teacup and put it on the table, and everyone stood upright.

Xiao Mumu bluffed two small eyes: What, does this man want to hit him?

"Grandpa Zhang."

"Hey, Holy One."

"Go to the treasury and fetch a tribute macaque fruit."

Macaque fruit? Tribute? The eyes of the two snack goods lit up. Nini the little pig quickly got out of the master's arms and got out of the pig's head.

It didn't take a moment for a delicately crafted jade plate to be served to Li Zimo with a fruit that seemed to be delicious.

The two snacks drooled.

Xiao Mumu watched the man grab the delicious fruit, as if he was about to put it in his mouth and take a bite, and sucked his saliva violently.

"Want to eat?"

The man looked at him, and the fruit in his hand was the best bait for fishing.

picked up his sleeve and wiped the saliva marks on the corner of his mouth vigorously, Xiao Mumu was ruthless, whatever he said this time, he would not be pitted by this man, Xiao Yan shook it: "Who wants!" ”

The corners of Long Yan's cold lips curled slightly, and he just played with the fruit in his hand: "It is said that this macaque fruit comes from the Immortal Monkey Mountain, as long as you eat one, you can live as long as the immortal monkey." ”

Good thing, little master! Nini the little pig arched her pig's nose at her master.

Xiao Mumu pinched the little pig's ears: "You are stupid, he cheated us!" ”

"The pit doesn't pit you, you will know the Tao after you have eaten. The fruit of this fairy monkey, take a bite, the taste, is definitely something you can't imagine in your life. ”

The rest of the people were dumbfounded: were they dazzled? Are they holy, seducing children?

Either way, the two snackers were desperately sucking their saliva.

"So be it." Easily threw the fairy fruit from his left hand to his right hand, seeing that the eyes of the two snack merchants followed closely, and the corners of his lips were subtly hooked, "If you can recite the three-character scripture, this fruit belongs to you." If you can't carry it, I'll give it to the piglet. ”

Xiao Mumu suddenly felt a thunderbolt slashing over his little head: This man, how can he trap him, the same as his mother?

Nini the little pig has jumped out of the little master and defected: it wants to eat delicious fairy fruits!

"Nini! You give me back! That's mine, not yours! "The two little hands desperately grabbed the little pig running forward.

As the owner of the little pig, Xiao Mumu knew too well that if this fairy fruit fell into Nini's mouth, it would be gone.

Two little hands hugged the little pig the one hand, it didn't matter if the man was cheating him, anyway, he couldn't lose to his pig!

Lang Lang's children's voice recited anxiously: "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away." Feeling that the little pig in his arms would break away from his hand at any time, he had to carry it faster and faster: "Three passers, there are rams, there are Zuo's, and there are Gu Liang...... Diligent and meritorious, the play is useless, and it is advisable to work hard...... I'm done with my back! The macaque fruit is mine! Nini, you spit it out for me! ”

Father-in-law Zhang felt that his chin had dropped, and when he held his chin, he looked at Zhang Mingxian again, and Zhang Mingxian's old face was excited like chicken blood. Who said that this child is a child and cannot be taught, this child is clearly talented.

But how can the snack goods care about the teacher's cash-like blazing eyes, stretched out his little hand, grabbed the macaque fruit in the man's hand, and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms: "Nini, let me tell you, you are not allowed to eat." I'm going to leave it to my mother! ”

What a fun kid! Li Dongyu Xiaomeiyu Yifei: I thought that this child would always cause trouble for his mother, but in fact, this child loves his mother more than anyone else. He loves it!

The deep emperor's gaze, and at the same time swept over his son's small face, Li Zimo suddenly felt that his heart was hot, his son was too lonely, and he knew it, otherwise he wouldn't always like to go out of the palace like him.

"Mrs. Zhang."

"The minister is here." Zhang Mingxian's voice was not calm with excitement, "Rest assured, the old minister will know how to teach this child in the future, and he will definitely teach this child to be as good as the prince." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Mumu cocked his nose: Hmph, you have the ability to take out all the delicious food in your palace!

Hua Xiyan really wanted to go to see her son, but thinking of her son's temperament, if she went there and accidentally entangled her son, she finally had a chance to correct her studies, and she couldn't give up casually. So I decided that in two days, my son would collect some temperament and go to have a look.

When the mother pulls her son hard, one day, the chicks in her arms will become geese, spread their wings and fly high, when the time comes, she can't catch up, and it is impossible to chase, she always has to let go. This bitter and astringent mixed with sweet taste is really something that only a mother can understand.

The Dog Emperor didn't know where to go, and she didn't have anything to do when she stayed in the Yongning Palace, so she just took this opportunity to explore the injured green green. The green is arranged in the courtyard.

greeted Li Shunde, and Li Shunde arranged for a palace maid to accompany her and show her the way. This palace maid happened to be the one she recognized, it was the palace maid who helped her wear new clothes when she first entered the palace that day, and after listening to Li Shunde's introduction, she learned that this person was the head of the palace maids in the Yongning Palace, known as Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu bowed to her and said, "I wonder if the girl's shoulder injury is better?" ”

Feeling that this Aunt Liu intends to be close to herself, Hua Xiyan is not surprised, thinking that Li Shunde also intends to please her and show favor to her, the people in the palace, which one does not see the attitude of the dog emperor.

It's just that her own relationship with the dog emperor is unclear, and she can't say it. Maybe one day, the dog emperor suddenly wanted to kill her. Of course, if he had murderous intent towards her, she would not be stupid and would have fled early.

However, staying in the palace at this stage, she still needs to rely on these people, so she took advantage of the other party's enthusiasm and said: "With Aunt Liu's concern, Xiyan's injury is almost better." ”

Aunt Liu was very happy when she heard her words, took her to the court, and talked to her enthusiastically all the way.

didn't go to the court, and met a few palace maids on the way. Aunt Liu suddenly changed her mind and pushed her to hide in the next room. But it was too late, and the other party seemed to have already arranged it, and a few more people came to the rear of them when they turned to leave, trapping the two of them in the middle.

"Who is it?" Hua Xiyan asked in a low voice. At this point, it is necessary to find out the identity of the other party before there can be a countermeasure.

Aunt Liu's teeth were staggering, as if she didn't want to tell her the truth.

Seeing that the palace maid led by the other party walked in front of the two of them, she smiled at them and said, "Aunt Liu, is this girl Yan Shangshu who was hand-picked by the saint?" ”

"The slave and maid say hello to Aunt Sun." Aunt Liu bowed to the other party.

The palace maids in this palace are also divided into ranks. There is no doubt that this Aunt Sun is one level higher than Aunt Liu.

Hua Xiyan looked at Aunt Sun on the side.

Aunt Sun felt her gaze and smiled: "Yan Shangshu, it's just right to meet, the Queen Mother, I just want to find Yan Shangshu to know something." ”

It turned out to be a female official in front of the Queen Mother. Hua Xiyan scolded in her heart: This dog emperor really made her conspicuous. It must not be a good thing for the Queen Mother to suddenly find her, of course she has to push it off, so she said: "Auntie, the woman just has the name of a book, and has no real power, she has just entered the palace, and she doesn't know what the palace is doing, I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to know about the woman?" If it weren't for the women who could know, the women would be afraid to go to the Queen Mother and ask questions. ”

Aunt Sun said: "Yan Shangshu is modest. The Queen Mother learned that Yan Shangshu was only eight years old, and wanted to find Yan Shangshu to play chess, but there was nothing else. ”

These words made Aunt Liu very surprised and suspicious.

"Let's go, Yan Shangshu. Yan Shangshu may not know that Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is the most soft-hearted person, especially when it comes to the saints, who almost only listen to the saints. Aunt Sun may just want them to feel at ease, and this time the Queen Mother will summon her, and she will not eat her flowers.

Hua Xiyan thought, if she is the queen mother, of course, it is the first time to find out where the other party came from, and then say, if you want to do it, you have to find another time. Therefore, it does not hurt to meet the most powerful woman in this palace. Only by knowing this and knowing the other can we win all battles.

"The women thanked the Queen Mother for summoning her and asked Aunt Sun to lead the way."

Aunt Sun glanced at her, as if surprised, and then smiled: "Please Yan Shangshu come with me." ”

Hua Xiyan walked in front, Aunt Liu followed behind, and there were people in front and behind to prevent them from escaping halfway.

Walking to the Yongshou Palace, passing through the queen mother's back garden, I only listened to the laughter of a group of women flying from the flowers and plants, and the figure of the warbler Yanyan was faintly among the flowers and trees.

"Hey, Ruyu's mouth is getting more and more clever, it's like a parrot, and it bursts the intestines of the mourning family." A slightly older woman's throat was accompanied by a few coughs.

Aunt Liu whispered a little bit of Hua Xiyan in the back: This is the Queen Mother. And the girl Ruyu that the Queen Mother said is Sun Jiajun, the second lady of General Sun's Mansion, who is deeply liked by the Queen Mother.

Sun Ruyu said: "The Queen Mother looked at what you said, is this to ask the courtiers to present the red-billed parrot that they just got from the Dawan merchant to the Queen Mother?" ”

The red man in front of the Queen Mother is a red person, and there is no need to be proportionate when talking to the Queen Mother. Hua Xiyan's forehead jumped, and from this voice, she remembered that she and this Second Miss Sun seemed to have just formed a bad relationship yesterday.

Aunt Sun walked to the front first and reported to the Queen Mother. Hua Xiyan took advantage of the gap and looked through the middle of the leaves of the tree to the small pavilion, where three young noble ladies were sitting around a graceful and wealthy woman. Aunt Liu introduced her to who the other two people were: "The goose yellow shirt on the right is the daughter of Lord Lin Shangshu of the household." On the left, across the redwood-clad Miss Sun Er, who was sitting, in a green shirt, was the county lord of Ji Yao. The lord of Ji Yao is the eldest princess, the aunt of the saint, and the only daughter under her knees. ”

Hua Xiyan wrote down her names: Sun Ruyu, Lin Murong, Li Jiyao.

"Queen Mother, Yan Shangshu brought it."

"Let her come up and show the mourners."

A few girls who were still talking and laughing just now immediately took their voices, and a few pairs of eyes fell on Hua Xiyan who appeared from among the grass and trees.

Hua Xiyan stepped on the small steps, walked to the pavilion, and saluted: "The Queen Mother Jin'an." ”

Empress Dowager Hu looked at her and looked up, and her eyes were stunned when she clearly saw the obvious ugly scar on the left side of her face. Maybe I heard about it before, but I was still taken aback.

The three young ladies on both sides had even different reactions. Lin Murong instantly picked up a handkerchief and covered his mouth. Lord Ji Yao's eyes widened in surprise and shouted, "Mom! ”

Only Sun Ruyu, because she had seen her earlier, the look on her face was so messy that it looked like she had had a stroke.

"County Lord." Empress Dowager Hu came back to her senses, and first scolded the county lord Ji Yao, who was a mother.

The county lord Ji Yao was a cheerful person, and immediately stood up, bowed to the Empress Dowager Hu, and smiled at Hua Xiyan: "Yan Shangshu, this county lord is rude." ”

Hua Xiyan looked at her sunny smile, like a beautiful sunflower in the sun.

Perhaps seeing that her appearance was not threatening, Empress Dowager Hu stopped looking, and only asked people to bring chessboard pieces. Asked who would play the game first, Empress Dowager Hu slowly swept her eyes over the three carefully selected women around her, and then nodded at Sun Ruyu: "Ruyu, you and Yan Shangshu will play a game first." The old rule is that whoever wins, whatever you want, the mourning family will be rewarded. ”

The royal man is generous, and he wants to be rewarded with everything. Hua Xiyan thought of the dog emperor, who was not as generous as his mother, and gave her a piece of writing, and she was not allowed to sell it.

Sit down face-to-face with Miss Sun Er. Sun Ruyu's eyes that were as cold as snake teeth nailed straight to her face, as if to say: You wait!

Hua Xiyan is not afraid that she will suddenly soar, if she really soars, she will find out that she beat someone on the street that day, and she is unlucky.

Grabbed a handful of white pieces from the chess box and counted them on the chessboard. As a result, Sun Ruyu's sunspot went first.

Empress Dowager Hu and the other two young ladies were watching from the side. Aunt Sun and Aunt Liu were also staring at the chessboard. There is a reason why Empress Dowager Hu ordered Sun Ruyu first, because Sun Ruyu's chess skills are among the three, which is medium, and she can just test Hua Xiyan's chess skills. If Hua Xiyan loses to Sun Ruyu, the name of Cai Gao Badou can be automatically removed.

A game of chess takes time. In particular, it seems that the two sides of the game are equal in chess strength, and they are in a state of stalemate all the way, and it is completely impossible to predict the final result from the chaotic chessboard.

Empress Dowager Hu drank tea slowly, anyway, even if Sun Ruyu lost, she was not afraid to lose so much or two, and there was a strong player behind her.

Sun Ruyu had layers of sweat on her forehead, and the maid next to her wanted to help her wipe her sweat and was pushed away by her. It's one thing not to want to lose to Hua Xiyan, but at the same time, it's also one thing to dislike Lin Murong being conspicuously stronger than her in front of Empress Dowager Hu.

Hua Xiyan plays chess like an old master, grasping chess and playing chess, all of which are unhurried. On the contrary, it makes the other party more anxious.

I only heard Li Jiyao suddenly leaning into Lin Murong's ear and muttering: "I think, Sun Ruyu is going to lose." ”

Sun Ruyu glared at Li Jiyao.

Empress Dowager Hu smiled: "Ji Yao, I don't know if your sister Ruyu is a cannon barrel?" ”

"The Queen Mother, she is the cannon barrel, and I am the Gong bucket. Don't say it, don't say it, I know my crow's mouth. Li Jiyao spit out her little tongue and fanned her hand. Of the three girls, she was the youngest and the most naughty.

At the end of the day, because I couldn't see the winner from the chessboard, I had to count. After counting to the most, everyone was surprised to see that it was a draw.

Don't lose or win, just right. Sun Ruyu let out a long breath, snorted in his nostrils, and said, "Yan Shangshu agreed." ”

"It was Miss Sun Er who agreed." Hua Xiyan replied slowly.

Sun Ruyu got up and left the seat of the game, saluted to the Empress Dowager Hu, and said, "Ruyu's chess skills are still shallow, not as good as Miss Lin." Please let Miss Lin go out for the Queen Mother. ”

Lin Murong has a thin body and is white. Hua Xiyan didn't know that this quiet and calm daughter of the Lin family was the most well-known talented woman in the capital.

"Come on, Murong." Empress Dowager Hu said.

"The courtier's decree." Lin Murong thanked him and sat in the position where Sun Ruyu had just sat down.

As long as Hua Xiyan glanced at the other party, she could see that the temperament of the person in front of her was not like Sun Ruyu, but there was real material inside. Unfortunately, she really can't let anyone win today. If anyone wins, she will definitely be told by the dog emperor when she goes back, and the ministers who have lost face in the palace will hate her even more.

This game was more intense than the first game. The two sides killed the last chess piece. Lin Murong also sweated on his forehead, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then reached out to pick up the chess, number.

Empress Dowager Hu's tea couldn't be drunk anymore, and she just waited for the result of the chess game. Sun Ruyu was beside her, and she had the posture of watching a good show.

Black and white, all re-set the chessboard - another draw.

Empress Dowager Hu let out a long breath. Sun Ruyu secretly stomped her foot.

Lin Murong looked a little in a state of prostration, and after the maid helped her up, she bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager Hu and said, "The courtiers have neglected to practice these days——"

Empress Dowager Hu waved her hand: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. The mourning family asked you to play chess, but it was just to relieve your boredom. ”

I don't know if this is going down the stairs, anyway, a draw is not a loss. It's just that she can't kick her off the god stage with a game of chess, which is a bit regretful.

"Queen Mother, is Ji Yao still down?" Li Jiyao asked.

Empress Dowager Hu was stunned: Who doesn't know that Li Jiyao is playing bad chess, let her come, the original plan was not to let people outside think that she Empress Dowager Hu was specifically bullying the saints, so that Hua Xiyan would lose two games and win one. But now, he sent two masters to get two games of chess. If you send Li Jiyao out again, wouldn't you be smashing your own feet.

Li Jiyao couldn't wait for Empress Dowager Hu to reply, sat on the chair of the game, and said innocently: "The Empress Dowager, you have said it, we play chess to relieve the empress dowager's boredom, and Ji Yao plays a game of bad chess to relieve the empress dowager's boredom." ”

Empress Dowager Hu held her forehead with one hand and covered her chest with the other. If it weren't for the eldest princess's daughter, she would have been killed by her a long time ago-

Hua Xiyan looked at the county lord sitting opposite, and only felt that this little girl was very much like her own son, and in the end, a simple-minded person was always easy to make people feel compassion.

Feeling Hua Xiyan's gaze, Li Jiyao stuck out her tongue at her and clenched her fists: "Yan Shangshu, the county lord is very bad at chess, please Yan Shangshu's subordinates stay." ”

The county lord confessed. Before the end, no one can decide whether to win or lose. Hua Xiyan smiled back.

Seeing that this third game of chess was bound to be played, Empress Dowager Hu could only block her eyes with her hand and try not to look at it. However, as time went on, everyone became abnormal again. Li Jiyao played bad chess, which should have ended soon. However, this third game was like the first two games. The eyes of the people on the side of the chessboard were staring.

Lin Murong's teeth bit out blood from his lips. Sun Ruyu's gaze was about to eat two people who were playing against each other. Empress Dowager Hu sat up, her brows jumping.

By the time the last number was reached, almost all spectators already had the result in their minds. But when the ending came out, it was still the same, and everyone was shocked.

"Draw!" Li Jiyao jumped up and pointed at Hua Xiyan with a show hand, "God, you are too powerful!" The bad chess of this county lord, you can actually play a draw! ”

Hua Xiyan flicked her sleeves and stood up, and said indifferently: "It was the county lord who accepted it, and the county lord is already superb in chess, no less than a master." ”

Sun Ruyu snorted, feeling that her palms were unconsciously clenched into fists, and then she looked at Lin Murong beside her, whose face was so blue that she fell into scum.

Suddenly, a string of big smiles made everyone look sideways. Seeing that it was Empress Dowager Hu laughing, everyone immediately knelt down nervously.

Empress Dowager Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Hua Xiyan's face, and said, "Yan Shangshu, what do you want to give you from the mourning family?" ”
