Chapter 178: Sprouting (2)

Princess Shouning's face quickly flushed, as if she had been scalded by boiling water, and immediately retracted her hand and twisted her head to the side.

Yuan Silan didn't seem to have happened, and she didn't open her mouth to apologize, and packed the remaining chess pieces into the chess box one by one. Then he smiled and asked, "Does the princess want to hold the black or the white child?" ”

Princess Shouning couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, a little awkward, and some inexplicable sweetness. She bit her lip and turned her head: "I hold the white child." ”

Yuan Silan smiled silently: "Okay, then I'll hold the sunspot." Cousin first, please! ”

Princess Shouning settled down, picked up a white piece, and gently landed on the chessboard.

Yuan Silan picked up the sunspot and fell with it.

The chess pieces made of jade fall on the jade chessboard, making a crisp and pleasant sound. One after another, it fell on Princess Shouning's heart.

Princess Shouning has been learning chess since she was a child, but her chess strength is mediocre. Since the sixth prince was seven years old, Princess Shouning has not been an opponent. On weekdays, she can't win anyone except Princess Corning.

Unexpectedly, today he won three sets in a row against Yuan Silan.

Princess Shouning was complacent, and her pretty face was full of smiles: "My cousin has lost three sets in a row." ”

Yuan Silan was not annoyed, she only smiled and sighed: "My mother is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I follow my mother in appearance, but I am far from learning." After so many years of learning, his chess strength is still mediocre. ”

Princess Shouning rarely won three sets in a row, and she was in a very good mood, so she smiled and comforted: "I can't say that." My cousin grew up in Tatar and had no companions if he wanted to play chess. If you practice more in the future, your chess skills will definitely be of great benefit. ”

Yuan Silan's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at Princess Shouning deeply: "Is my cousin still willing to play chess with me?" ”

Those deep black eyes seemed to be shining.

Princess Shouning's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her cheeks were red, but she nodded slightly.

……

Yuan Silan did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, retracted her gaze, and thanked with a smile: "Then thank you cousin." ”

Princess Shouning plucked up her courage and asked softly, "Cousin, will you really stay in Dachu in the future?" ”

Yuan Silan nodded: "Yes." I lost my father at a young age, and it was my mother who raised me single-handedly. My mother taught me to read and learn how to read and learn the culture of Dachu. ”

"Mother's greatest wish is to return to Dachu. It's just that the uncle categorically refused to let her come back. I will fulfill my wish on behalf of my mother. ”

"I will stay in Dachu for a long time, and marry a wife and have children in Dachu in the future. Don't go back to Tatar again. ”

Princess Shouning listened slightly.

If Yuan Silan stays in Dachu, marry him...... It's not so unacceptable.

Yuan Silan's voice was low and pleasant, ringing softly in her ears: "My cousin seemed to be in a bad mood just now. Who else in this palace dares to make my cousin angry? ”

Princess Shouning was unwary of Yuan Silan, and the grievances in her heart naturally came out: "...... It's not that Cheng Jinrong yet! It's just a medical officer who serves the queen mother. The queen mother turned to her everywhere and ordered me to leave first. ”

"I've never sulked like this when I've grown so big."

Yuan Silan is an excellent listener, gentle and patient, echoing a sentence or two from time to time.

Princess Shouning also said more and more: "The queen mother has been sick all these years, and in the past, my second brother and I had to go to ask for an appointment every three days." ”

"The queen mother doesn't like outsiders to approach, and even her children don't want to see her often. It's very good for an outsider, since that Cheng Jinrong entered the palace, he has been by his mother's side all day long. ”

Princess Shouning didn't look in the mirror, so she naturally didn't know herself at this time, her face was full of jealousy, and her eyes were full of unwillingness.

After hearing this, Yuan Silan comforted Princess Shouning and said, "In my uncle's heart, I naturally love your daughter the most. That Doctor Cheng is just serving by his aunt's side, so he really doesn't deserve to be angry. ”

Princess Shouning said it, her heart calmed down a little, and she was comforted by Yuan Silan, and she was a little embarrassed: "What my cousin said is also reasonable." It's me who is too cautious. ”

Yuan Silan smiled softly: "My cousin is the most innocent and straightforward person I have ever seen. Those who are really cautious will only hide tightly. ”

Princess Shouning's heart was sweet.

Yuan Silan said again: "Today, I am playing chess alone with my cousin, you and I have no distractions, and the scenery is beautiful." However, when it reaches the ears of others, I don't know how much gossip it will cause. ”

"Cousin, let's go first! I'll stay a little longer. ”

Princess Shouning breathed a sigh of relief, and an unspeakable loss swelled up in her heart.

She whispered goodbye to Yuan Silan, and then got up to leave. At the moment of turning, I can't help but turn back.

Yuan Silan stared at her figure quietly. She turned her head to look at him, but he didn't look away, still looking at her intently.

Princess Shouning blushed and hurried away.

It's early afternoon, the sun is shining brightly, and the air is filled with the scent of flowers. Princess Shouning's pretty face was red, her steps were brisk, and even her voice was jumping with joy: "Follow me back to the palace." ”

The palace maids responded softly, and quickly exchanged a look of surprise.

Her Royal Highness the Princess has been in it for nearly an hour, why is she in such a good mood when she comes out?

……

In the stone room, Yuan Silan was still sitting at the stone table. The previous tenderness and affection are all gone. In its place, there is a nonchalant smack.

Princess Yuan Qiao of Shouning, stupid and brainless, wants to provoke her heart, it is easy for him.

Princess Kangning is a concubine, and her presence in the palace is weak.

The one he wants to marry is, of course, Princess Shouning. In this way, the second prince's wariness of him can be completely dispelled.

The more fierce the competition between the eldest prince and the second prince for the throne, the better. He could just instigate them to kill each other. With the civil strife in Da Chu, he has a chance to take advantage of it!

Yuan Silan stayed in the stone room for more than half an hour before getting up and returning to Liuhua Palace.

Emperor Xuanhe was very attached to him on the surface and gave him to live in the palace. In fact, he was uneasy and kind, and he was determined to pull out all his ears and eyes, leaving him alone in the palace.

He left only a few close soldiers around him. These pro-soldiers also learned some simple Da Chu dialects. But that's about it.

The appearance of the Tatars is quite different from that of Da Chu, and they are too recognizable in the palace. Trying to find out the news around and envelop the palace people is pure wishful thinking.

He has been in the palace for a few days, and he has been in contact with the second prince from time to time on weekdays. I once heard the second prince say and laugh casually, and secretly wrote down this stone room in my heart. After that, when a person has free time, he goes to the stone room and sits for half a day.

For Princess Shouning, it was an unexpectedly beautiful encounter.

For him, it was the inevitable result of careful calculation.

Today's "chance encounter" has impressed Princess Shouning.

In the future, there is no need for him to think about it, Princess Shouning will secretly inquire about his whereabouts, in order to "meet him" by chance.

Yuan Silan stayed in Liuhua Palace for more than an hour, and when she counted that the time was almost up, she called the waiter over: "Follow me to the Jiaofang Palace to ask for peace." ”
