As soon as Ji Chengjin returned to the side courtyard, the streamer also ran in from outside, and when he saw Ji Chengjin, he said excitedly: "Son, something is wrong, the eldest lady of Prime Minister Jiang's family won the chess game of the Hua Dynasty, but I didn't expect Princess Mingruo to win her in the subsequent competition!" ”

Ji Chengjin nodded, sat down and took a sip of water.

"Childe, aren't you surprised?" Streamer continued, "But what is even more surprising is that Princess Mingruo rejected the title of Chess Saint Talent, saying that this is what Miss Jiang deserves, tell me, this is still the Princess Mingruo we know?" ”

Ji Cheng was noncommittal, and glanced at the streamer: "You have been out for so long, just to inquire about these things?" ”

Streamer scratched his head embarrassedly: "Princess Mingruo's chess skills were taught by Gongzi, so I asked casually to see if she had embarrassed Gongzi, after all, this is a major event in the palace, and the other thing is the upcoming martial arts conference." ”

At the martial arts conference, Ji Chengjin fiddled with the teacup with a serious expression.

Taking advantage of the tail of the festival, Cheng Xi asked the red leaves and water moon to collect flowers and make soft and fragrant flower cakes, in addition to eating them themselves, they also brought Cheng Ying to practice for her, and also gave some to Ji Chengjin as a thank you gift for the teacher.

Cheng Xi showed her style in the Hua Dynasty chess game, and now there are many discussions in the palace, and her performance can be described as incredible.

When she learned the news from Hongye and Shuiyue, Cheng Xi just smiled lightly and didn't care, because according to her plan, this was just the beginning.

At this moment, the topic of conversation is sitting in the small garden of the courtyard, with rice paper on the stone table in front of her, and she is enjoying the scenery while copying it, and the years are full of tranquility.

Shui Yue stood beside Cheng Xi and studied ink, saw a black ink on the rice paper, and asked strangely, "Princess, what are you painting?" ”

"I'm painting a rockery." Cheng Xi pointed to the strange rockery not far away and asked, "Can't you see it?" ”

Shui Yue looked at the scenery of Cheng Xi's fingers, compared it carefully, and shook her head certainly, in her opinion, although the princess painted very seriously, but the black mass in the painting, only the outline is more similar, as for whether it is a rockery, it is more appropriate to say that it is scribbling.

"Princess, with all due respect, if you don't say it, you really can't see it." Shui Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Perhaps, painting also requires talent. ”

After getting along for a while, the subordinates around Cheng Xi have noticed the earth-shaking changes in her, although her temper is still unpredictable, she is not at all like to lose her temper before, and she no longer punishes her subordinates indiscriminately, so everyone's courage has gradually increased.

Cheng Xi heard Shui Yue say this, and cut off, feeling that she didn't know how to appreciate, after all, she had a foundation in painting, and she was quite confident in painting.

Glancing at her, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and asked, "Okay, just by one painting, you can see that I have no talent, so may I ask, who do you think is talented?" ”

Shui Yue thought for a while, and said softly: "I don't know about others and don't dare to say it, but Ji Gongzi's painting is very good, I once accidentally saw him painting, and it was the same as the real thing." ”

Listening to what Shui Yue said was Ji Chengjin, Cheng Xi said that it was okay, through her harassment from time to time, she found that Ji Chengjin was quite interesting, and what the system had said suddenly appeared in her mind, bullying Ji Chengjin would make her feel happy, she couldn't help but ask herself, is it really a bit of a strange tendency?

Hurriedly put away this weird idea, Cheng Xi smiled harmlessly at Shuiyue, and a narrow light flashed in his eyes: "Since it's Ji Gongzi, then I'll give you a task, you go and steal that painting, let me see how realistic it is." ”

"Princess, this is not very good, if you want to see it, Ji Gongzi will definitely take it out."

Shui Yue's volume was slightly raised, and her expression was a little unnatural.

"Don't you dare to go?" Cheng Xi didn't think Ji Chengjin was so easy to speak, she smiled proudly, "Are you afraid of him?" Also, I've never seen him laugh, as if others owe him millions, but if he paints well, it shows that his heart is full of emotions, in other words, he is sullen, so don't be afraid, go forward, girl, I'll cover you! ”

Cheng Xi was about to explain the meaning of sullenness to Shui Yue, when she saw her desperately squeezing her eyebrows at herself, and at the same time looking behind her with an embarrassed expression.

Cheng Xi suddenly felt bad, she felt a cool breeze blowing behind her, she squinted her eyes cautiously and looked back, only to see the sullen master, standing expressionlessly in the small garden, looking like she was listening carefully to the teachings.

This...... God|Death|me! Just said that she couldn't say bad things about others behind her back, she finally lived like she hated, Cheng Xi silently shed lasagna tears in her heart.

Just when the four eyes met and were speechless, Hongye walked in to break the silence, saying that the Queen Mother was invited, Cheng Xi immediately praised Hongye, and after seeing Ji Chengjin leave, she also dressed up a little and went to Yong'an Palace.

As soon as she entered the palace gate, Cheng Xi heard laughter and laughter coming from the hall, she adjusted her mood, and asked with a smile: "Why is the imperial grandmother so happy?" ”

The eldest princess of Ning'an, who was chatting with the queen mother, heard a crisp and pleasant voice coming in from a long distance, but she didn't see anyone, she couldn't help but look at it, and soon a beautiful girl appeared with a smile on her face, and when she saw them, she made a blessing ceremony.

"Xi'er has seen the imperial grandmother, Aunt Ning'an."

"Excuse me." When the Empress Dowager saw Cheng Xi, her smile deepened, she patted the position next to her, and beckoned, "Sit down next to the imperial grandmother." ”

Cheng Xi sat down obediently, today the eldest princess of Ning'an went to Yong'an Palace to visit the queen mother, and the queen mother asked her to accompany her, thinking that she hoped that the two could have a good relationship in advance, after all, the eldest princess of Ning'an was her future mother-in-law.

Cheng Xi turned his gaze, and as expected, he saw Shen Rang, who was sitting not far from the eldest princess of Ning'an, quiet and without a sense of existence, he saw himself looking over and glared at him viciously.

Cheng Xi and Shen Rang's performance fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and she smiled at Princess Ning'an: "Tell me, the feelings of the juniors are good, just now, and their eyes are glued to each other." ”

Cheng Xi was speechless, the imperial grandmother, the matchmaker didn't do this, the two of us are clearly enemies and are very red when they meet!

"Not really." She took the queen mother's hand and said shyly, "I haven't seen Aunt Ning An for a while, and my aunt has become younger again, so I thought it was my cousin's sister." ”

"Oh, when did Xi'er's mouth become so sweet?"

When the eldest princess of Ning'an heard Cheng Xi's words, it was incredible, in her impression, her niece was a child who was spoiled by the queen mother and the emperor, not only arrogant and arrogant and did not take others seriously, but also used the imperial power to force the Shen family to repent of her marriage regardless of her dignity.

Cheng Xi covered her mouth and laughed, raised her head to signal Hongye, and after Hongye put the flower cake on the table, she explained: "This is the flower cake I tried to steam, and it will become sweet after eating." ”

The queen mother and the eldest princess of Ning'an looked at the flower cake on the plate, quite curious, the white and colorful glutinous rice are mixed together, the surface of the flower cake and the surroundings are arranged with flowers, the fragrance is fragrant, take a bite, the fragrance is not greasy, as if you are in a hundred flowers.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but marvel, she took Cheng Xi's hand, looked at Princess Ning An again, and said again and again: "You kid, you hide so deeply, what else do you have the ability to do, tell it quickly and let the imperial grandmother hear it." ”

The eldest princess of Ning'an also accosted on the side: "Xi'er, don't be modest, the matter of you winning the chess saint in the Huachao chess game has spread all over the capital, and the queen mother mentioned this matter to me just now, and complained that you didn't inform me in advance." ”

Cheng Xi hurriedly compensated the Queen Mother, but he still said humbly: "I really didn't hide it." ”

Seeing that she refused to say, the Queen Mother was not reluctant, and praised Cheng Xi with the eldest princess of Ning'an for a while, especially in the amazing performance of the Hua Dynasty chess game, she sat next to the queen mother with a smile, sometimes denied it shyly, these fell in the eyes of the eldest princess of Ning'an, although the impression was not good, but she also noticed that she was much more sensible than before.

Cheng Xi was in the limelight, which made Shen Rang dissatisfied, and he snorted coldly: "I don't know what means I used to win Miss Jiang, if Jingxian participated, how could she be so majestic." ”

Although Shen Rang's voice was not loud, it was still heard by the three people sitting together, and the eldest princess of Ning An hurriedly scolded him, so that he did not speak again.

Cheng Xi glanced at the eldest princess of Ning An and Shen Rang, then turned to the queen mother, and said the greenest words in an indifferent tone: "I didn't mean to win Miss Jiang, and I have always admired Miss Jiang Er and wanted to be friends with her, but now let my cousin misunderstand, it's not good for me, imperial grandmother, don't blame your cousin, my cousin is upset for Miss Jiang Er, it's really moving." ”

The Queen Mother was distressed after hearing this, she looked at Shen Rang with a blank face: "Today, the four of our ancestors and grandchildren are rarely gathered together, and mentioning irrelevant people will only make people unhappy, now Xi'er is shining in the Hua Dynasty chess game, and the martial arts conference in the future is a good opportunity for you to show your skills, don't embarrass the Shen family and Princess Mingruo." ”

Shen Rang had no choice but to suppress his anger and take his life.

After lunch, Cheng Xi said goodbye and left on the grounds of not disturbing the imperial grandmother's lunch break, and as soon as he left the palace, he was stopped by Shen Rang, who was following.

"Cheng Xi, don't think that with the support of the Queen Mother, you can marry me, and persuade you to die of this heart!"

Cheng Xi showed an elegant smile and quietly watched Shen Rangqi smoke from the seven orifices.

Shen Rang was a little embarrassed by her, and warned loudly: "Don't think I don't know about you and the proton of the Xinyang Kingdom, openly pulling and pulling in the imperial garden, what kind of system, our Shen family will never marry a woman who is not innocent!" ”

After speaking, he angrily brushed his sleeves away, leaving Cheng Xi with a confused face, wait, when did she and Ji Chengjin have a scandal, why didn't she know?!
