Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan walked very closely, and Concubine Xi had a very good attitude towards Jiang Wan, although Jiang Wan was an official woman, the palace people did not dare to bully her.

Those who want to fall into the well have no chance because of this, they are all people with no family background, and they can't afford to provoke Xi Concubine and Xia Yahan.

After Concubine Xi learned that Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan were sisters, she came to look for her in the courtyard and saw her and Xia Yahan playing in the courtyard.

"Ahem, cough, it seems that it is an unfortunate arrival from this palace."

"I've seen Concubine Xi."

Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan saw Concubine Xi suddenly arrive, so they stopped their movements and saluted her.

"There's no need to be polite, Ju Chang wants to talk to Xin Guannu in this palace about Luoyun Xuan's related matters, and I hope Ju Chang will come to her another day."

Xia Yahan looked at Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan nodded, signaling that she didn't have to worry about Concubine Xi being unfavorable to her.

"Then the slave and maid retired." After that, Xia Yahan took Mo'er and left Luoyunxuan.

"What, don't you let this palace in and talk?"

"Where, Concubine Xi, please come in and speak."

Concubine Xi sat on the chair, unambiguous, and straight to the point, "Jiang Wan, you have been very close to Ju Changzai recently, and I often see her coming to the side courtyard to look for you, otherwise you are not in the side courtyard, I guess I went to find her." ”

Jiang Wan knew that Concubine Xi was worried that she would find someone else to cooperate with to help Xia Yahan, so she came to explore her style.

"Concubine Xi can rest assured, I and Ju Chang are just like-minded playmates, and I am still on your side."

Xi Concubine didn't doubt it, she knew that Jiang Wan would do what she said, she didn't have to doubt it, she got the answer she wanted, and Xi Concubine was not ready to stay in the side courtyard for a long time.

"With your words, this palace will rest assured, this palace believes that you are a clear-eyed person, and this palace will not bother."

"Concubine Xi walks slowly."

Ping'er waited until Concubine Xi left and said to Jiang Wan, "What does Concubine Xi mean?" ”

"It's just too suspicious and timid."

Jiang Wan understands that Concubine Xi will no longer have the bargaining chips to fight with Lin Yao once she leaves her, and she is the only condition for her to get Lu Zhixing's attention.

It's another day, and the weather has completely warmed up, and even the sun is shining at noon as if summer has arrived. Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan walked around the harem at will.

"This is, rosemary?"

Jiang Wan saw a few familiar plants in the grass, and leaned over to take a look.

"Isn't this just an ordinary wildflower, it doesn't smell good."

Xia Yahan didn't like the smell of rosemary very much, and wanted to take off the rosemary in Jiang Wan's hand. Jiang Wan said with a smile, "This is not an ordinary wildflower, it can be used for cooking, and it has the effect of refreshing the mind and consolidating memory." ”

"Can you eat this thing?"

Jiang Wan was embarrassed, Xia Yahan's focus was really simple as always.

"I've read books from foreign countries, and they give people feelings and meanings to many flowers and plants, and the flower language of rosemary is long-lasting love, loyal friendship and eternal nostalgia."

Jiang Wan put the rosemary with small blue-purple flowers in Xia Yahan's hand and smiled, "Give it to you." ”

"It's nice to have a loyal friendship."

Xia Yahan looked at the flowers in her hand and smiled at Jiang Wan, and the two of them were even brighter against the backdrop of the sun.

After Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan left, Lu Zhixing and the guards came over. Lu Zhixing looked at the rosemary in the grass, picked a sprig and pinched it in his hand.

"A long love, a lasting memory."

He whispered Jiang Wan's words just now, "Recently, Ju Chang has been getting very close to Xin Guannu." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, after the siege of Xin Guannu is lifted, the two of them will become sisters."

Lu Zhixing knew that the two of them were getting close before, and thought that Jiang Wan was seeking protection with the help of Xia Yahan's identity, but now it seems that he is too careful.

Lu Zhixing looked at the direction Jiang Wan left, thought for a while and followed. The guard Rong Ye, who followed Lu Zhixing, was a little puzzled why His Majesty followed secretly.

Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan found a stone table to sit and rest, and found that there was a chessboard engraved on the stone table, and there were two chess pieces next to it.

"Yahan, why don't we play chess?"

Xia Yahan looked at the chessboard with a somewhat complicated expression, because she couldn't play chess. She was born in Jiangmen, and her family style is not so strict and elegant, she doesn't like this, and the general and his wife read that she is a young woman, so they didn't force her to learn.

"But I don't know how to play chess."

Jiang Wan thought about it, it seemed that it was too late to teach Xia Yahan Go, but he remembered a popular way to play, the kind that is suitable for all ages.

"I'll also have a simple way to play, I'll teach you, you see, just like this, whoever connects five chess pieces first can capture one of the opponent's chess pieces in front of him, and play until one side has no children to play, that is, the chess game is over."

Xia Yahan looked at Jiang Wan's demonstration and felt that it was very simple and interesting, she never knew that she could play chess like this. Fortunately, she was smart and quickly became handy, winning several games in a row against Jiang Wan.

"Oh, I won't play with you anymore, you're learning so fast, I can't fight you anymore."

"No, keep coming, keep coming, I haven't had enough of it."

"What are you guys playing with, it's a strange way, I've never seen it before."

Just when the two were having fun, Lu Zhixing had already walked to the side of the two. As soon as Jiang Wan heard this voice, goosebumps rose, and it was Lu Zhixing, the plague god.

"The slave has seen Your Majesty."

Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan saw Lu Zhixing coming, and immediately got up and saluted him.

"No courtesy, I have passed too far here, and when I hear the laughter of Ju Chang, I will come and take a look."

When Xia Yahan heard Lu Zhixing call herself, she was a little happy for a while, and her face flushed a little.

"It's the slave who doesn't know the etiquette too much, and the quarrel has reached Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins."

"Ju Chang doesn't have to be like this, I'm not such a narrow-minded person, can Ju Chang tell me what you're playing?"

Seeing that Lu Zhixing didn't pay attention to himself at all, Jiang Wan instead sent a sigh of relief. Then he despised Lu Zhixing, he was like this last time when Xun Chang was there, and now he is like this again, he is worthy of being a scumbag emperor, and it is fast to praise women.

"This is what Xin Guannu taught to the slave maid, and the slave maid doesn't know the name yet."

Xia Yahan saw Lu Zhixing talking to her, but because of nervousness and shyness, her voice became smaller and nervous.

Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan at this time, and Jiang Wan looked at him indifferently at this time.

"Did you come up with the way to play?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the slave maid, and the name of this game is also simple, it is called backgammon."

Jiang Wan didn't want to talk to him, because she didn't know what bad ideas this man would come up with. And all the misfortunes in her came from the man in front of her who didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife, and it was already good for her to see him being able to stop spitting on the ground without a mouthful of phlegm.

Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan, he always felt that Jiang Wan was different from before, and he didn't know where Jiang Wan learned about these novelties.

The previous prayer charm, the sky lantern later, the rosemary and backgammon now, what Jiang Wan showed made him more and more unable to see.

"You teach me how to play this backgammon."

Jiang Wan thought to herself, isn't Lu Zhixing usually very busy, why did he suddenly become interested in playing chess. She had no choice but to explain the rules again, and then demonstrate a game with Xia Yahan.

However, because Xia Yahan was all about Lu Zhixing, he soon fell behind.

"You have to concentrate if you are always there, you are going to lose."

Lu Zhixing kindly reminded him, Xia Yahan came back to his senses to look at the chess game, and sure enough, Jiang Wan's sunspots attacked all the way, and there was not much left of his whites.

Although Xia Yahan put his mind back to the chess game, Jiang Wan still won the final victory.

"I see, can I play another game?"

"Your Majesty's request is naturally possible, Ju is always playing against Your Majesty, and the slaves and maids are just watching the battle from the sidelines."

Jiang Wan naturally saw Xia Yahan's thoughts about Lu Zhixing, and she took the initiative to give up her seat to Lu Zhixing. Lu Zhixing sat down calmly, and Jiang Wan cleared the chessboard and reclassified the chess pieces.

"Your Majesty, please."

Jiang Wan stood beside Xia Yahan, looking at the chess game, Xia Yahan didn't dare to be distracted because she was playing against Lu Zhixing, so she got serious. However, Lu Zhixing's attention was on Jiang Wan, who was watching the battle seriously.

Jiang Wan's face was serious and serious that he had never seen before, and Jiang Wan's obviously cold attitude towards him made him not know why he was quite concerned.

He thought of the night in Tinghu again, her figure that seemed to be hidden in the mist, and her sad eyes with water.

"There are some things that will be useful if I don't say it." Jiang Wan's words that night suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Your Majesty, you lost."

Jiang Wan's voice recalled Lu Zhixing's senses, and he noticed that his gaze had been staying on Jiang Wan's body. Xia Yahan saw that Lu Zhixing was absent-minded, and also found that the place where he looked was Jiang Wan, who was unconscious on his side.

She felt a little sour in her heart, she really couldn't get into his eyes, even if Jiang Wan's status was low, it was so shining that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"Your Majesty has just come into contact with backgammon, but it's just the first game, and it's understandable."

Xia Yahan opened his mouth and said, Lu Zhixing hid a trace of embarrassment that had just been revealed, "Ju Chang is smart, it's better than me, but in the second game, I won't lose again." ”

Jiang Wan thought in her heart that Lu Zhixing actually had to play the second game, and she just wanted to leave quickly.

"In the second game, Xin Guannu came and I went down."

"Huh?"

Jiang Wan didn't react for a while, why did Lu Zhixing suddenly want to play chess with him.

Jiang Wan had no choice but to clear the chessboard and sit on Xia Yahan's seat.

"You go first."

Jiang Wan was stunned again, Lu Zhixing didn't match which string was right, the corners of her mouth twitched a little embarrassedly, don't hold back any bad ideas.

Jiang Wan had no choice but to play against Lu Zhixing, Lu Zhixing was serious this time, and soon Jiang Wan had no children to play down.

"Your Majesty is very smart, and the slave and maid have lost."

Lu Zhixing seemed to be in a good mood after playing against Jiang Wan, praised the fun of backgammon and left.

"It's gone."

Jiang Wan took Xia Yahan's hand and was about to leave, but found that Xia Yahan was standing still.

"What's wrong, Yahan?"

"Jiang Wan, don't you want to see Your Majesty?"

"Yes, I don't like Your Majesty again, and I will be fine when I see Your Majesty."

Xia Yahan was a little surprised by Jiang Wan's answer, "But Your Majesty was also your husband." ”

"That's the time."
