Raw incense
The summer of Jiayou's fourth year came early, and it was already very hot in April, and a thin layer of sweat would be revealed when he took a few steps in a light shirt.
The princess often went to the court at night to enjoy the coolness, and on this day she ordered someone to move the blue gauze cabinet to stand next to the tulip frame, and the light couch was woven with rattan, and the couch was laid with a small mountain screen, a water-patterned green basket and a white porcelain pillow from the kiln, and then she took off the crown by herself, loosely pulled a small bun, and wrapped it with a jasper hairpin, and lay on the light couch and chatted with the maid. I felt bored, so I called Xiao Huangmen to get a backgammon board, moved it to the front of the couch, and let the maid sit opposite, still lying on his side, shaking the fan lightly, and playing against the maid.
In the gambling game, this is the one she is best at, she shakes the fan one by one, and plays carelessly, while the opponent has been defeated one after another, and the army is broken.
After Xiao Jing'er and Yun Guo'er lost one after another, the person sitting opposite the princess was replaced by Jiaqingzi. Her skills were originally good, but it was still more difficult to deal with, and the time to think was getting longer and longer, and the princess always maintained a relaxed and leisurely state, and after the next step, she would often lie back leisurely, so as to lie down and watch the stars of the Milky Way, and the jasper hairpin on her head followed her movements to the side, knocking the white porcelain pillow from time to time, making a crisp sound.
Finally, Jiaqingzi couldn't resist it, threw a look at me asking for help, and called me softly: "Mr. Liang......"
I smiled at her, continued to use the silver spoon to light the fireworks on the agarwood crumbs palace candle, and added the openwork glass cover, then walked behind her and looked at it, then picked up a black horse in front of her, chose a direction, and took a step for her according to the number of points she had just rolled with the dice.
This did not cause the princess to be particularly vigilant, but she continued to deal with it casually, and after two or three exchanges with me, she gradually realized that the situation had changed. She gave up the leisurely lying posture of Shicai, sat up and watched the chess game carefully, and took two more steps, seeing that it was difficult to recover the initial advantage, she complained dissatisfiedly: "Watching chess is not a true gentleman." ”
Jia Qingzi suddenly laughed: "The princess doesn't want Mr. Liang to guide me to play chess, why didn't you say it just now?" ”
The princess glared at her and said, "Dead girl, do you think I'm afraid of him?" ”
"Well, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the princess is naturally not afraid of anything!" Jia Qingzi stood up with a smile and pulled me to sit down, "This chess will be played by Mr." Don't deliberately let anyone, if the three of us sisters want to be ashamed, it's all up to Mr. ”
I laughed and said nothing, and when I saw that the princess was displeased, I suggested, "You have played this chess almost well just now, even if it is a draw, let's play another game." ”
The princess wiped the chessboard and said, "Since you are here, we must first set a lottery." ”
I smiled and asked, "What kind of color does the princess want?" ”
"If you lose, draw me a landscape scroll." The princess said, very seriously, and continued to finish speaking, "If I lose, I will allow you to draw a landscape scroll for me." ”
I couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that the princess wants to change the picture on the pillow screen." ”
There is a small pillow screen at the head of her current light couch bed, and the landscape painting on it was originally one of my paintings "Smoke and Water Distant Mountains", she saw it and asked me to go, but I didn't want to take it to cut and frame it into a pillow painting screen, and since then she asked me to paint I have all refused, and now she lists this overlord clause, must feel that the painting on the pillow screen should be changed.
Jia Qingzi smiled when he heard it: "Mr. Liang's paintings are enough to be treasured in the Secret Pavilion, and it is indeed a waste to use them as screens." ”
"You know what? Isn't it rare to send them to the Secret Pavilion? The princess immediately retorted, "Don't look at how many paintings and calligraphy are sent to the secret pavilion every year, and only a few can be selected by me to make screens!" ”
More than ten years of getting along with each other has made me deeply aware that there is never any reason to talk about this little girl. After some haggling, I finally offered to draw a landscape map to her if I lost, but if she was the one who lost, she would give me back the hill.
She reluctantly agreed, reluctantly, as if she had suffered a big loss.
In the ensuing backgammon game, she gave it her all and I could, and I kept attacking in a tight defense without giving her too many chances. After a stick of incense, most of my chess pieces have entered the opponent's inner grid, and victory is in sight.
She began to fidget, sometimes looking at the flower stand, sometimes looking up at the sky, but each time her gaze was drawn back to the chessboard by the sound of me tapping on the chess pieces, and she pouted unconsciously, and her brow furrowed.
After I made a crucial move, she couldn't find a solution after thinking about it, and she was about to lose the game. At this time, Xiaojing'er hugged a kitten over, and watched the battle with a smile, and the princess looked at the kitten, her eyes lit up, and then she said to me with a smile: "Huaiji, why is Vega missing today?" ”
I immediately raised my eyes to look, and when I saw that the stars were not unusual, I also understood her purpose, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw that she was pointing to the chessboard, desperately giving Xiao Jing'er a look.
Xiaojing'er understood, let go of her hand, and threw the kitten in her arms onto the chessboard. The kitten fluttered twice, and the two-colored horses on the chessboard scattered, staggering, and the original formation could not be seen at all.
"Oops, this damn cat!" The princess snickered triumphantly as she patted the kitten at the messed up chess game.
"It's a pity that you can't finish a good game of chess." She sighed deliberately.
I also laughed in my heart, but I didn't see it in my heart. "Oh, it doesn't matter." I told her, "I remember the layout just now, and I will swing the chess pieces back one by one." ”
So, under her stunned gaze, I lifted the horses one by one, and unhurriedly put the two-colored horses back to where they were before they were disturbed.
She had no good solution, so she had to play tricks. Reaching out and moving one of the horses I had just placed to another place: "This one is obviously here......"
I bowed my head and moved it over again: "It's here, the minister won't deceive the princess." ”
"No, no, no!" She grabbed my hand and snatched the horse back and laid it where she wanted it to be.
On a whim, I also fought with her, she screamed and laughed, and simply stretched out her hands to scratch the chessboard, I tried to stop her, but this stretch of hand led to an ambiguous result - I held her hand on the chessboard.
Her fingers were slender and white, and her nails had the color of peach blossoms, and the gentle touch made my heart tremble slightly, and I couldn't help but raise my eyes to look at her.
At that time, she was wearing a peony-patterned silk bandeau dress, and a crimson floral tulle gown called "light appearance", which was made of Jiangnan light and mediocre yarn, light as smoke, and the outline of the shoulders, neck and arms could also be clearly seen from it. The gown was untied, and her breasts were slightly open, revealing a patch of skin around her collarbone, smooth and flawless, like congealed cream.
I didn't dare linger here, and continued to drift upward, reaching out to her eyebrows.
And the smile on the corner of her lips was also staring at me, and when her eyes touched, I saw the light of the Agarwood Palace candle blooming a brilliant flame in her eyes, and then, her cheeks quietly flashed a layer of glow-like redness, like the temperature of the lamp flower spreading.
"Oh, that's all it said, it's supposed to be like this." She first got rid of this brief moment of distraction, pushed my hand away, and set the chess pieces as she intended.
The smoke of the stove was light, the painting screen was slightly cool, I sat up straight, no longer arguing, watching her look back, watching her smile and smile, secretly tasting the fragrance at the bottom of the red sleeve, bowing my head and leading the Gu she planted for me.
His mind floated as if in a dream, until he heard a hasty call from the maids: "Captain! ”
I looked back in surprise and saw Li Wei holding a scroll in his hand, standing silently by the door of the flower wall.
