The next day, the number of people at the Hundred Flowers Banquet not only did not decrease, but increased, and they were basically all for the Dusk Cloud Prince. Before the game started, there was a group of people around Twilight Liuyun, and the women couldn't squeeze in, so they were in a hurry outside the circle, and everyone wanted to see how well Dusk Gongzi was drawing, but I don't know how chess was?

Today's competition is chess, the time is relatively long, for the round system, the chess game is played until both sides unanimously confirm the completion of the piece, for the endgame, in the game, one side admits defeat, but also the endgame.

The duration of a game is one hour, and the extra time does not exceed a quarter of an hour.

Twilight asked Mo, "Can you participate today?" ”

Liu Mo asked him back: "I really came to see the excitement." So Twilight didn't care about him.

The game begins.

Twilight Liuyun and Liu Mo have played chess for hundreds of years, this mortal is his opponent, others are still thinking in a game of chess, he has played several games, almost all of them automatically admit defeat, and some simply quit the game when they saw this situation, and crowded to the side to watch the game. This greatly shortened the game time, and in the end, only Twilight and Du Wenbo were left.

The two bowed to each other and sat down at the chess table. Xin Yao looked at Du Wenbo nervously, and then looked at the evil smile on Du Liuyun's face, very worried. Du Wenbo seemed calm, confident, and not panicked.

Needless to say, this game was naturally won by Twilight Cloud. Du Wenbo lost in a mess, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, but he couldn't lose his gentleman's demeanor, so he stood up and arched his hand and said: "Brother Dusk's chess skills are exquisite, I admire and admire, and I am convinced when I lose, and I hope that Brother Dusk will give me more guidance in the future." ”

"Brother Du is polite." Twilight returns the favor.

Xin Yao frowned, not believing that this was the truth.

When they saw the presiding officer come up to the stage, they all returned to their seats. The presiding officer announced loudly: "In the second game, chess, Dusk Liuyun Gongzi wins, and he will get a pair of jade chess pieces." ”

The next day's Hundred Flowers Banquet was over, and it was almost dusk.

That night, Xin Yao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking about Du Wenbo for a while, and thinking about Twilight Liuyun for a while. Of course, when I think about Du Liuyun, I despise him, and when I think about Du Wenbo, I am anxious, how can I lose, how can I help him. Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Jin Yao suddenly woke up, ordered Xiao Tao to dress herself up, and the queen mother didn't go to ask for peace there, so she got into the carriage with her piano and hurried directly to Du Shangshu's mansion.

Xiao Tao said to the subordinate at the door: "The princess wants to see your son-in-law (Du Shangshu is a son)." The subordinates hurriedly prepared to report, and Princess Xin Yao in the car shouted again: "Let him come out, I won't go in." The subordinate hurriedly turned around and responded: "Yes." "Turned around and ran into the mansion, one went to call Du Gongzi, because Du Shangshu was not in the mansion, and the other went to tell the housewife.

When Du Wenbo heard that the princess was coming, he hurried out of the mansion, saw the princess's carriage, and stepped forward and shouted: "Xin Yao." ”

Xin Yao lifted the curtain and said, "Come up." ”

Du Wenbo happily got into the carriage. Xiao Tao instructed the coachman: "Let's go, go to Rongyuan." ”

When the housewife came out, the princess's carriage had already left.

In the car, Xin Yao took out her piano and handed it to Du Wenbo.

"Brother Wenbo, you have this piano, use this today."

Du Wenbo took the piano and said in surprise: "This is the Jiuxiao Huanpei of Lei Gong, a family of violinists!" ”

"Yes, it's Jiuxiao Huanpei, I will use it for you today, and I will definitely be able to take the lead."

"Okay, I'll live up to the princess's expectations."

Du Wenbo couldn't put it down while holding the piano.

"Brother Wenbo just do his best." Xin Yao didn't want to put more pressure on him, so she said softly.

When I arrived at Rongyuan, there were already a lot of people, and some of the participants were holding their own musical instruments and playing there.

Xin Yao deliberately looked around, but didn't see the shadow of Twilight Cloud, and thought: Could it be that he doesn't know how to play musical instruments at all, right! It can't be everything, how can there be such a god-man. I was happy at the moment: "Brother Wenbo, you see that the weather is really good today." ”

Du Wenbo answered vaguely, just playing the piano. Xin Yao didn't dare to disturb him, he just got the piano, he should be familiar with it. So he sat quietly next to him and watched Du Wenbo practice the piano.

Today there are more people, and the trees and flowers are full of people.

When it was time for the competition, the presiding officer came to the stage and said loudly: "Today is the rhythm, and the contestants will perform their own musical instrument repertoire on the stage in turn, and there is no limit. Whoever is called will come on stage to play. Start now. ”

Du Wenbo was arranged in the second, he did play well, and the soft voice of Jiuxiao Huanpei also made people fascinated, and as soon as the piano sound fell, the audience burst into applause. Several judges also nodded frequently.

"Next, Twilight Cloud Prince, please." The presiding officer reports for duty.

There was a burst of cheers on the field, and the momentum overwhelmed the applause.

"He's here anyway." Xin Yao sighed, not understanding why she was so afraid of him.

There was no one on the platform, only listening to the sound of the piano sounding slowly, gradually overflowing, as if a clear spring was flowing in the heart, and like a breeze blowing on the cheeks, suddenly with a touch of sadness, and suddenly like a stormy wave. Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around.

For a moment, the applause poured in like a tidal wave, and it could not be stopped for a long time.

Xin Yao watched Twilight Liuyun sitting under the platform at this time, with fluttering white clothes and slender hands pressing on the strings, like a god in the sky, and was in a trance for a while.

Du Wenbo next to him coughed heavily, Xin Yao came back to his senses and smiled at Du Wenbo embarrassedly.

Twilight Liuyun looked at Xin Yao's stupid appearance, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

This time, it was Twilight Cloud who had won.

Xin Yao looked at Du Wenbo's deflated appearance, and felt a little uncomfortable, no, I have to go to him, how can he have such a good talent, he can do everything, not only will he be superb but also exquisite, there must be ghosts! Thinking about getting up, he walked towards Twilight.

"Twilight!" Xin Yao said sharply to Twilight Liuyun.

Twilight Liuyun looked at the fierce look on Xin Yao's little face, and said with a smile, "Princess, are you here to congratulate me?" ”

"I don't believe you're so good, you must have cheated." Xin Yao glared at him.

"Oh, in this way, there is evidence that I cheated, I played this piano with both hands, and the sound is also the sound of my piano, can I still make it?"

Xin Yao was speechless. After a pause, his words softened and he whispered, "Anyway, you can't win anymore." ”

"Why?" Twilight asked.

"There is no why, because I am a princess, I order you!" Xin Yao made excuses.

"You are the princess of Chu, but not our princess, we are from Zhou."

Mo Wen said beside him.

Xin Yao felt extremely embarrassed, in a dilemma, she really shouldn't be humiliated.

Twilight looked at Xin Yao, knowing what she was thinking.

"It's not impossible, as long as you agree to one condition, I will definitely lose to Du Gongzi."

Xin Yao saw that there was room for him, and immediately replied: "Okay, you say." ”

"That's a promise?"

Xin Yao thought that it was nothing more than to order silver taels or something, it didn't matter, just give what you wanted, how could there be anything I couldn't take. So he nodded.

Twilight saw that she agreed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that tomorrow at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, you just have to dance my tune." ”

Xin Yao was stupid: "Dancing? How can that work. ”

"Why not, wouldn't you?"

Twilight asked deliberately.

"Of course it will, no, you let me be a princess, how can I dance in front of this public, how can I have royal face."

Xin Yao said urgently.

"You don't have to show your true colors." Twilight nodded to her, "You have already agreed, people can't be untrustworthy, not to mention that you are a princess of a country, you must set an example." ”

"If you don't show your true face, how can you dance?" Xin Yao was puzzled, and suddenly stretched out her hand to block her cheek and said, "I know!" ”

Then he glared at Twilight and turned to walk back, "You're going to lose." ”

Twilight called out to her, "Hey, here's the score." ”

Xin Yao turned around, Twilight Liuyun threw the score over, Xin Yao caught it, lowered her head and opened it and read: ""Landscape Spring River Song".

Mo asked looking at Twilight Liuyun, he was so interested, shouldn't he have taken a fancy to her?
