She didn't expect it, and neither did Xu Shishi and the others, everyone looked at the three princes with a surprised look.

The third prince's handsome face smiled: "What, is the arrival of this hall disturbing you?" ”

Xu Shishi came back to her senses, and immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Don't dare, but I didn't expect that the sound of Shishi's piano could also reach the ears of His Royal Highness." ”

The third prince raised his hand and gave him a hand, then turned to look at everyone and asked, "It's not just Qiong Lixie that is so lively, but what interesting things happened?" ”

One of them stepped forward and saluted him first, and then said: "Back to His Royal Highness, it is Miss Xu and Miss Huang who are having a piano competition, and the color head is Lu Youwei's "Luoshan Tu"!" ”

Hearing this, the third prince raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, and then turned his head to look at the paintings hanging on the wall, with appreciation in his eyes.

He nodded: "In this way, it is the luck of the main hall to be able to see Master Lu's paintings, and I can also have the honor to watch a piano performance, which is very good!" ”

"Since the third prince is here, why don't you act as a referee and hear whose skills are higher?" Xu Shishi said that there are three princes here as referees, and absolutely no one dares to disobey the rules.

The third prince happily agreed: "Okay, I just heard that Miss Xu Yiqin has already gone back and forth, so I don't know what happened to Miss Huang." ”

Hearing the words of the third prince on himself, Huang Xuan stepped forward to take luggage, and after saying hello, he sat down in his place and ordered someone to carry his Aigean.

stroked the strings in his hand, but his eyes were staring at Xu Shishi opposite, full of provocation.

"Ding"

A piano sounded, and after a pause, the sound of the piano was soft and soft, rippling in the Qionglin Pavilion, and the music was high and low, like a drum, not as tactful and melodious as Xu Shishi.

After a cup of tea, the high-spirited sound of the piano finally stopped, and Huang Xuan still closed her eyes, as if she had not woken up from the artistic conception.

Even Zhongqing was stunned, he didn't expect that Huang Xuan, who has a domineering personality, could still play such a stirring piano song, it is really unseemly!

No wonder she looked like she was determined to win at the beginning, it turned out that she had real skills, not only her, but even Yan Wen, who was dissatisfied with Huang Xuan just now, was stunned, and obviously didn't expect it.

After the two songs were played, everyone present had an unfinished expression on their faces.

"I heard that the eldest lady of Shuntianfu Yin has a warm personality, but I didn't expect the piano music to be so high-spirited." The third prince praised with a smile.

"Back to Your Highness, I don't know who will win or lose, Sister Xu or me?" Huang Xuan raised her eyebrows provocatively towards Xu Shishi, with such good piano skills, she should be a little confident.

The third prince's face hesitated: "Miss Xu's piano sound is melodious and tactful like a mountain elf, and Miss Huang's piano sound is warm and exciting like a grassland fast horse. ”

Indeed, not only the three princes were in a dilemma, but even the masters of Qionglin Xie who specialized in music and rhythm were also undecided.

Zhong Qing looked at everyone's faces silently, and suddenly had a plan in her heart, and just when everyone was hesitating, she stood up.

"I have an idea below, I wonder if the Third Highness can hear it?" Zhong Qing stepped forward and bowed slightly towards the third prince.

The third prince raised his eyebrows, looking at the person who suddenly stood up in front of him, it seemed a little familiar: "You are ...... The prince sitting next to Duan Wang Ye in the Imperial Garden Palace? ”

Zhongqing hooked his lips and smiled: "Exactly, in Xia Qin Zhong, the Third Highness has good eyesight!" ”

The third prince's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the token on her waist casually, and then said, "I don't know where Prince Duan is?" ”

Zhongqing shook his head: "The prince discussed planting with the prince in the mansion, but he didn't come out." There was something in the words.

When the third prince heard this, a slight crack appeared on his indifferent face, but he disguised it well and did not let anyone find out.

"I see, then I don't know what the method Qin Gongzi just said?" After a while, I got back to the point.

Zhong Qing straightened up and said with a smile: "It's very simple, that is, ask the two young ladies to try another game!" ”

"It's ridiculous, you say that you will compete, how can Miss Ben have any spare time to play with you?" As soon as she heard another competition, Miss Huang Xuan's temper came up, and she retorted regardless of the presence of the third prince.

On the contrary, Xu Shishi was relatively quiet, she had seen people, and she knew from the attitude of the conversation between the third prince and Zhongqing just now that Zhongqing was not simple, so she didn't say anything to stop it.

She lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "I wonder what this son will let us try again?" ”

The third prince was also interested, and then asked, "Yes, the main hall wants to know what you want them to compete again?" ”

Hearing that the three princes were interested, Huang Xuan didn't dare to say more even if he was reluctant, so he had to stare at Zhongqing with wide eyes.

Where would Zhongqing be afraid of a woman's eyes, she cleared her throat and said unhurriedly: "I don't know if you two can play chess?" ”

The second daughter nodded: "Naturally!" ”

"That's right, there is a chess method in the hometown of the next, unique and abnormal, not like the way to play Go, but the five sons are connected into a line to win, whether it is horizontal and vertical staggered or oblique, as long as which is connected by five words as a line is to win, the play is simple and generous, and will not waste too much time, what does Your Highness think?"

Zhongqing said slowly, the chess she said was the backgammon game in her previous life, backgammon is not as scheming as Go, it is simple and clear, and the fashion is short, the most important thing is that people here have never seen backgammon, and if they want to attract their attention, they can only be tempted by novelties.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhongqing's description, the third prince and the two young ladies were interested, but they were still a little vague when they heard what she said, and they didn't know how to play the chess that Zhongqing said.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them, she guessed that they must not have understood, so she had to demonstrate it herself.

Zhong Qing asked, "Is there a chessboard?" ”

Listening to her question, the third prince knew that she was going to demonstrate, so he quickly ordered someone to put the chessboard on the table and put it on the table.

Zhong Qing sat in front of the chessboard, holding the white piece in one hand and the black child in the other, and the two pieces fell on the chessboard.

She explained while playing chess: "Look, there are only two pieces on the chessboard in front of you, black and white, no matter who it is, as long as one of the chess pieces is practiced from five to a line, it will win." ”

As she spoke, five sunspots had fallen on the chessboard in front of her and were connected horizontally, and then she demonstrated the way to connect the remaining lines, and briefly stated the way to play chess in front of everyone.

Her demonstration is clear at a glance, this way of playing chess is the first time everyone has seen it, and they can't help but feel novel and chic, and they have discussed around the chessboard, and a few bold ones have directly pulled their friends to try it out.

"Hahaha, it's really interesting, what kind of chess is this? It's a lot more fun than what we've played before! "I don't know which boy tried it, and although he lost, he still found it very interesting.

"Well, I wonder if this is a good proposition?" Zhongqing opened the folding fan in his hand and asked the third prince.

"Papapapa" The third prince clapped his hands and applauded: "Haha, Childe's chess is very wonderful, but I still have to ask the meaning of the two young ladies?" ”

Seeing that the three princes all clapped their hands and praised, how dare the two of them refuse, so they had to nod silently in agreement.

Seeing that the two agreed, the third prince nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, the two of them will compete again, and the main hall will be a feast for the eyes!" ”

After he finished speaking, his warm eyes seemed to look at Zhongqing who put forward the idea with deep meaning, but he moved his gaze at a glance, and he didn't let Zhongqing notice.

The second daughter agreed, walked to the chessboard, and first carefully looked at the chess game demonstrated by Zhongqing, and each had their own thoughts in their hearts.

The two took down the chess pieces, Xu Shishi held the white zi, and Huang Xuan held the black zi.

Huang Xuan glanced at Xu Shishi: "Sister Xu is younger than me, so you can go first!" ”

Xu Shishi smiled with low eyes: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." After speaking, a white piece landed on the center point of the chessboard.

Huang Xuan followed closely behind on the left side of Xu Shishi's white son, and in the next game, where Xu Shishi fell, Huang Xuan followed, but every time he became four sons, he was truncated by Huang Xuan and a sunspot, and the two were deadlocked for a long time.

Xu Shishi looked at the chess game that had entered the white-hot stage, and a glimmer of light seemed to flash in her eyes, and she was cunning and abnormal.

"Sister Huang can take time to block the road like this, why don't you concentrate on the front line?" Xu Shishi made fun of Huang Xuan while falling.

Huang Xuan ignored her, only gave her a roll of the eyes, she only knew a little about playing chess and was not proficient, especially this never-before-seen backgammon, she was even more incomprehensible.

She thought that as long as she guarded the chessboard and didn't let Xu Shishi connect in a line, it would naturally end in a draw in the end.

Huang Xuan thought simply, but Xu Shishi was not a stupid woman, she naturally didn't want to end in a draw, so she quietly buried a line on the chessboard.

After about another cup of tea, Xu Shishi landed on the chessboard, and Huang Xuan still followed and told her to disconnect the four sons.

At this time, Xu Shishi smiled, she took the last white son in her hand and landed on the line that had been ambushed a long time ago, and in the end, the five sons were connected, and the victory or defeat was decided!

"Sister Huang, you lost." Xu Shishi glanced at her lightly, and her tone of voice was not smug in winning.

"This, how is this possible?!" Huang Xuan's eyes widened and looked at the chessboard without blinking, and the five white chess pieces became a line!

She's defeated!

"Well, the outcome has been decided, and the main hall has announced that the winner of this competition is Miss Xu!" The three princes saw it clearly, and one sentence laid the foundation for victory and defeat.

Xu Shishi bowed to the third prince, then turned her head to look at Huang Xuan, who was sitting on the ground in disbelief, and said softly: "In this way, I hope that Sister Huang will tell Brother Ling to return the macaw to its original owner within three days after she goes back." ”

After speaking, she bowed to the three princes again, and then asked someone to take down the "Luoshan Map" and handed it to the three princes.

"Shishi thanks to His Royal Highness for the judgment, this "Luoshan Tu" will be given to His Highness as a thank you gift, and please accept it with all your Highness!" Xu Shishi's words are sincere, so that people can't refuse.

The third prince had no choice but to accept it: "Miss Xu is polite, the two young ladies asked the palace to watch a wonderful competition, but it was the luck of the palace." ”

"The Third Highness has a good reputation, the poem has been out for a long time, and now the competition is over, and the poem is about to leave." After she finished speaking, she bowed her knees, smiled at Zhongqing friendly, and turned to leave Qionglin Pavilion.

The competition was over, and the people around who were watching the excitement also dispersed, and finally Qing saw that the goal had been achieved, and she had no reason to stay.

Touching the token on her waist, it was getting late outside, and it was time for her to go back.
