"Madam, this is not the way we just came", Ah Lian quickly noticed, and whispered in Su Nian's ear.

Su Nian nodded, it was strange, she smiled at Ah Lian soothingly, signaling her to calm down.

The soft sedan chair came all the way to a side hall, and Su Nian got down from the sedan chair, and his complexion remained unchanged.

Mama had already stepped aside, and Su Nian asked Ah Lian to wait outside, and she went in alone.

The side hall was quiet, and there was no one to see in the huge courtyard, but the ground was very clean, and Su Nian walked quietly, walked through the courtyard, and entered the hall.

The emperor was wearing civilian clothes, sitting there facing a game of chess and thinking, the little eunuch next to him saw Su Nian's figure and was about to report it, but saw the emperor himself raise his head, "Coming?" ”

Su Nian saluted, and the emperor asked her to get up, pointing to a chair opposite, "Sit down, do you know how to play chess?" ”

"The concubine is stupid, and she will only have five sons."

"Finally something you wouldn't know? It's really unusual. ”

Su Nian was speechless, she didn't know much about this.

The emperor didn't speak, but continued to look at the chessboard intently, and Su Nian didn't speak without permission, she knew that the emperor's mind was not on the chessboard, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed herself so quickly just now, the emperor was just thinking with the help of Go.

"If you have leisure, you should learn it, the mystery of chess needs to be experienced in person to know."

"Back to the emperor, although the concubine is not proficient in chess, she has heard someone say, 'There is the image of heaven and earth, and there is the rule of the emperor. There are five hegemons, and there are warring states'. Chess is all-encompassing, and it is indeed fascinating. It's just that the desire in the concubine's body and mind is very small, and this kind of game that contains an explicit fight for survival, the concubine thinks that she can't learn it. ”

"Oh? Is that so? The emperor's eyes rose from the chessboard, and Su Nian's expression was clear, facing the emperor's scrutiny.

"You don't know how to play chess, but Xiao Ge is a master of chess, according to what you say, Xiao Ge has a big desire in his heart?"

Su Nian nodded: "What the emperor said is right, the husband does have big ideas." At the beginning, the concubine was pregnant with Liujia, and she did not stand in the Xiao Mansion, and many people were eyeing her, and it was the time when the husband should be by the concubine's side, but the husband left at that time. ”

The concubine remembered that her husband said that he was the general of the Li Dynasty, and it was his duty to protect the people of the Li Dynasty. Isn't it a great desire to protect the world of the Li Dynasty? ”

The emperor seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It makes sense to say this, Xiao Ge is the most serious person." In what position must be faithful, but it seems that he now has a new identity? ”

Su Nian's expression remained the same. "What does the emperor mean? Please forgive the concubine for being stupid, the concubine is very bad at speculation. Please also ask the emperor to make it clear. ”

"Although I am friends with Xiao Ge, I can't ignore the people in the world. Then I have to be sorry for Xiao Ge, I owe him. ”

Su Nian raised his eyebrows, but he was much more agile than before, "So what?" ”

"Can you show a more frightened expression?" The emperor frowned, "Aren't you afraid that I will find someone to kill Xiao Ge and make this matter a secret forever?" ”

"Then why do you have to talk so much about your concubine? It's better to do this kind of thing secretly, for example, you can send Xiao Ge to a poor country, and then find some killers to kill him, and then posthumously give him a title, no one will say anything. Su Nian nodded as he spoke, feeling that his idea was very feasible.

The emperor was like seeing a ghost, "You ......, what you said isn't true, right?" ”

"Of course it's not true, the concubine is not stupid, it's the husband of the concubine, but it's not for the emperor's concubine."

The little eunuch silently took two steps back, he really didn't know that the emperor was going to summon the Duchess of Pingdingguo today, and he only heard the emperor talk about it when he had already entered the palace, and it was too late to avoid it......

The emperor's expression changed from cold at the beginning to hideous, and he longed for the stick to knock on Su Nian's head to see what structure was inside, but Su Nian's face was full of innocence, thinking that he had done his duty, what else did he want?

"I don't know why Xiao Ge fell in love with you in the first place." The emperor sighed incomparably, "Are you really so sure that I won't do anything to you?" ”

"The concubine is believing that the emperor will not do anything to her husband." Su Nian's expression returned to normal, "The concubine believes that people's hearts are flesh and blood, and the concubine can see the love between the husband and the emperor, it is not an overnight thing, the emperor, do you remember that you once said to the concubine, you said that the husband is the only one who will never betray you." ”

"The concubine remembers that when the emperor said this, you may not have noticed the smugness in his tone, how can such a relationship be destroyed by one or two things, one or two unfounded excuses?"

The emperor looked at Su Nian's clear eyes, this woman sometimes the emperor didn't like her very much, she saw too clearly, bypassed a lot of things that were blocked in front of her, put aside all utilitarian obstacles, and only saw the most important things.

So often the emperor wants to laugh at her, how can people live so simply? But at the end of the day, maybe it's really that simple.

The emperor closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, it was cold inside, and he just wanted to say something to hit her, when he saw a little eunuch running in from outside, the emperor's mouth was closed, and a smile was pulled out at the corner of his mouth: "It's really fast, I haven't been so quick when I summoned me on weekdays." ”

"Is the emperor jealous?" Su Nian said subconsciously when he was looking for death, and saw that the face of the little eunuch on the side of the emperor was purple.

Xiao Ge strode in from the outside, saw Su Nian sitting there, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Weichen see the emperor." ”

The emperor unexpectedly did not let him get up immediately, but asked in a somewhat strange manner: "I remember, I didn't announce your entry into the palace today, could it be something important?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is indeed something important, well, the minister received a summons that the Li Dynasty army led by Mo Song will arrive in Beijing soon, and the welcome specifications drawn up by the Ministry of Rites need to be approved by the emperor, well, I'm in a hurry."

Su Nian looked away, pretending that he was also a master of chess, and studied it, if it weren't for those two "ums", it might sound a little reliable.

The emperor was really angry and funny: "When did you take care of such trivial things?" Alright, get up! ”

Xiao Ge stood up and continued to be serious: "This is a matter within the scope of Wei Chen. ”

"Since you're here, let's accompany me for a game."

Su Nian got up and walked to the side and asked Xiao Ge to sit down opposite the emperor, Xiao Ge really didn't ask anything, and played against the emperor.

Su Nian told the truth before, she really doesn't know how to play Go, and the black, black and white chess pieces are silently fighting on a chessboard, killing you to the death, which can't be regarded as entertainment for Su Nian.

This game of chess has been played for a long time, and he has been bored for so long that he began to tease the little eunuch next to the emperor, and he didn't ask about any private things, so he asked him to pick some unimportant things in the palace to say.

For example, where is there a strange stone in the palace, where and where it was transported, and what kind of history it has, this kind of thing is that the emperor will not care if he says it, and Su Nian listens to it with relish.

When the emperor threw the white piece in his hand into the jar, Su Nian heard the sound of the jade chess piece hitting the jar before he came back to his senses.

"Next time, you are not allowed to play the sunspot, you dare to play first even though your chess skills are higher than mine?" The emperor was angry, when he played against Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge never let go of water, resulting in himself never winning, what is the respect for the sunspot? Next time, I will not be fooled like this.

"The emperor will lose to Weichen because Weichen has seized the opportunity to hold the sunspot." Xiao Ge unhurriedly put the pieces back into the box.

The emperor was stunned, what a sin, if Xiao Ge was allowed to lose next time, wouldn't he even have an excuse?

"Ahem, it's not too early, you can go back." The emperor simply changed the topic and never mentioned the matter of Go.

"Your Majesty, Weichen really has something to report."

"Next time."

The emperor waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to hear it now, "Xiao Ge, do you remember that you and I went to Jinhua Palace to roast rabbits when we were young?" I just heard Xiao Lezi mention the famous flower of Jinhua Palace, and I remembered. ”

"The minister naturally remembers."

"That rabbit was raised by Concubine Jing's palace maid, it is a foreigner offering, it looks very good, and it is said to be very delicious, so we stole it, but unfortunately there is only one."

A rabbit, how can two young and vigorous young men eat, so after it is cooked, Xiao Ge plans to cut it horizontally, and eat it himself, the front part is all skeleton, and the fat legs in the back are left for the emperor.

But then the emperor insisted on cutting vertically, from beginning to end, evenly and symmetrically, "There is half of me, there is half of you, let's guard the Li Dynasty together in the future, I preside over the government, you guard the side stopper, and wait until we are a hundred years later, the names of the two of us will be left in the annals of the Li Dynasty, Ming Jun and loyal ministers......"

********************************

"Roast bunny?" Su Nian sat in the carriage back to the house, his face was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the emperor to do such a ridiculous thing when he was young, as the prince roasting rabbits in the palace? He is not afraid to burn down the palace?

"Well, it's not delicious in your mouth, it's burnt in many places, and it doesn't taste good, after all, we don't have much experience, but we ate it all."

Xiao Ge came back to his senses, and the smile on his face was much more, the emperor was still the emperor he knew, even if he was now the king of the world, he was still the emperor who insisted on being with him that day.

"Don't think too much about the affairs of Liao, most of them are in danger, these days have made you worried."

Su Nian's eyes widened, is this dangerous? Where did Xiao Ge come to his conclusions? Is it for Mao that the emperor summoned him today? She seems, she didn't do anything, is Xiao Ge really sure? (To be continued......)
