Time seems to pass very slowly.

After the initial excitement was over, Li Yuan was already a little sleepy.

He glanced at the crowd and said, "I'll go back and rest first, and you can continue here." ”

Li Yuan got up and went back to the palace, and the atmosphere in the main hall was a little relaxed, but everyone's interest was not very high.

It's really boring to sit like this.

If you are in your own home, you can sleep for a long night without intention, and you can do a little human creation to alleviate it, but here, you can only stare at it with big eyes.

Qin Tian didn't care at this time, he just sat with his two wives, and the ninth princess was a little evasive and didn't get too affectionate.

After more than half an hour like this, the crown prince Li Jiancheng couldn't stand it a little and asked, "When is it, how long is the ion night?" ”

"If you go back to the prince, there will be more than an hour in the ion night."

More than an hour, almost more than two hours, this time is not easy to endure.

Li Jiancheng got up and walked on the main hall, and in the end it was really boring, so he went out for a walk.

Li Shimin also felt bored, but he still sat in the main hall, because he knew that maybe at any time, his father would appear, and staying here by himself would be more conducive to grasping some situations.

"Xianggong, let's find a chance to slip away." Tang Rong glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered in Qin Tian's ear.

It's just that after Qin Tian heard it, he smiled bitterly: "So many princes and princesses don't dare to slip away, we have a few heads, stay well, it's just this night." ”

Tang Rong pursed her lips: "But it's really boring here, Xianggong, you can find something interesting to have fun with." ”

If you can't walk, there's nothing wrong with playing a little game.

After thinking about it, Qin Tian immediately called a eunuch over: "Help get us a game of Go." ”

Hearing about playing Go, Tang Rong suddenly rolled her eyes: "Xianggong, you know that I am not good at chess, and you still use Go to play." ”

"Who said that you want to play Go, Go is brain-consuming, and the time is too long, not at the same level, it's boring to play, I'll teach you to play a new game."

"What's new?"

"Backgammon."

As he was talking, the eunuch had already brought the chessboard, Qin Tian opened the chessboard, and said: "Backgammon is very simple, black and white, one person is in charge of one side, whoever connects the five lines first, even if he wins." ”

Qin Tian said and put five pieces, and then told Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang about the situation, the rules of this five-in-a-row chess are simple, and the two of them will know it as soon as they hear it.

"It's so simple, Xianggong, I'll play a game for you first." Tang Rong took the lead, Qin Tian nodded, and then played with Tang Rong.

Although this backgammon is also a siege and blockade, and there is a layout in between, it is relatively much simpler than Go, and it is easy to divide the victory and defeat, so you can get started at once.

In the first game, Tang Rong was inexperienced and was easily won by Qin Tian, but in the second game, Tang Rong was not so easy to lose, but in the end, Qin Tian made a little trick and responded.

"I'm going to ...... again"

Tang Rong dominated, Qin Tian was helpless, Lu Huaniang didn't fight here, just watched from the side, she knew how to go, and she played well, so she could see some of the situation of backgammon at a glance, in comparison, although she didn't play, she had a calculation in her heart.

The three of them were playing backgammon very happily, and the ninth princess originally thought they were playing Go, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt that it didn't look like it, so she couldn't help but get up and walk over.

"What are you playing?"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, backgammon ......"

The ninth princess soon fell into such a simple game, lying on the side and watching and refusing to leave.

The others didn't notice it at first, but when the Nine Princesses passed, many people became curious.

"What are you playing?"

"Backgammon ......"

More and more people were watching outside, and soon Qin Tian's table was a little overcrowded, Li Shimin already knew the game they were playing, but for the sake of face, he didn't go over to squeeze.

But in my heart, I couldn't help but marvel, Tang Mu can always find something interesting to play.

It was originally a Go thing, but he made a backgammon by him, and these people were still playing it happily.

To be honest, backgammon is too simple, Li Shimin didn't even like it, but I have to say that although the game is simple, the fun is endless.

The hall was lively, and more and more people began to go to the chessboard to play backgammon, and the boredom just now suddenly disappeared.

Li Yuan's dormitory.

After Li Yuan went back, he slept first, but he slept very lightly, and he woke up again not long after.

Li Yuan, who woke up, sat at the head of the bed and asked, "What are those people in the main hall doing?" ”

"The crown prince is out, King Qin is still sitting, and the others are ...... Playing backgammon. ”

The words of the little eunuch were very level, Li Yuan smiled bitterly, this prince of his own, is too impatient, it is very unreassuring, but it is the king of Qin, who knows how to forbear.

But there are some things that can't be decided by his own preferences, such as the position of the crown prince.

But immediately after, Li Yuan was stunned again: "What are the others playing?" ”

"Backgammon."

"What is this backgammon?"

"It's a game invented by Qin Tian, it's very simple, whoever connects the five sons into a line first, even if he wins."

Li Yuan shook his head: "It's so simple, it's definitely not interesting." ”

As he spoke, he commanded: "Bring the chessboard, you can play with me, and it can be regarded as passing a little time." ”

The eunuch didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly brought the chessboard, and then played with Li Yuan, the little eunuch didn't dare to win, but he didn't dare to lose too obviously, so he kept chasing and intercepting, making himself look at a disadvantage.

But who knew that it was blocked like this, but the blockade won, both of them were a little embarrassed for a while, and the little eunuch suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead: "Holy Lord, slave maid...... Slave maid this is also unintentional ......"

The eunuch was frightened, but Li Yuan suddenly had a change in his view of backgammon, although the rules are simple, but sometimes they are unguardable, as long as you are a little negligent, you may lose.

"Interesting, interesting, come, continue to play with me, but this time you dare to pretend to admit defeat again, I won't spare you......"

The hustle and bustle in the hall was a little endless, and everyone was lying together in twos and threes playing backgammon, even if there were a few who didn't play, they were very curious, but they refused to put down their heads and go to other people to play, so they could only endure it.

Time suddenly passed much faster, and before I knew it, the midnight bell rang, followed by the sound of crackling firecrackers.

And in the sound of these firecrackers, seven years have passed for Wude, and eight years have passed for Wude.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth showed a faint smile that was not easy to detect.

This year is destined to be a year for him Li Shimin to shine.
