If it was in the past, he might have fulfilled the wishes of these people, but now, Cheng Xi plans to establish his prestige first.

Gently pinching the wrist she was holding in her hand, she raised her eyebrows and smiled kindly: "I didn't expect the second sister to care about me so much, I am a princess, how can I be as knowledgeable as a slave?" But as the saying goes, it depends on the master to beat a dog, this slave is the second sister's person, right? Then I'm going to talk about it. ”

Seeing that the development trend was not as she expected, the second princess's smile gradually disappeared and her face changed.

Cheng Xi was disdainful in her heart, but her face was as bright as ever, she continued: "The slave represents the master's meaning, this slave is so disrespectful to me today, I thought it was the second sister who complained a lot about me." ”

"Of course not." The second princess hurriedly denied it, "Sister Mingruo can misunderstand my sister, we only have respect for my sister, why complain?" ”

In order to show her sisterly affection, she glared at the green-robed eunuch and swore that she said: "Sister Mingruo, don't worry, this slave doesn't understand the rules, I will definitely teach you well when I go back." ”

Cheng Xi motioned to Hongye, Hongye ordered the eunuch to stop, looking at his miserable appearance, she said kindly: "Let's do this today, this slave has suffered a lot, and he must have understood the rules, so don't punish him anymore, but I just taught you the rules of the slave without authorization, second sister, don't have an opinion on me." ”

Where does the second princess dare to have an opinion, she is smiling now, but her mind has turned several times, she can't figure it out, she hasn't seen her for a few days, this princess has changed, not only is her speech smart, but the stern aura exuded by her body is also frightening.

Cheng Xi was full of blood, let go of Ji Chengjin's wrist, she stepped forward to hold the hand of the gossip trio, and said softly: "We are sisters, sisters have shortcomings, I should teach myself as the eldest sister, but ......"

Her tone changed abruptly: "I hope my sisters know that only I can bully my people, as long as it is my person for a day, there is no room for others to question." ”

On the way back to Fengyang Pavilion, Hongye's admiration was about to rush out of her eyes, and she gathered around Cheng Xi and kept chattering: "Princess, you were so domineering just now, I swear to follow you to the death!" ”

Autumn leaves, too, you are too easy to be moved!

While accepting the praise of the red leaves, Cheng Xi calmed down, just now he accidentally experienced the plot of the palace fight, but he didn't expect her to be quite combative, but the title of the vicious princess is about to become famous again.

"Princess, Ji Gongzi is really excessive." Hongye said with some dissatisfaction, "You are also coming out for Ji Gongzi, but if he doesn't thank him, he doesn't even have any expression, so he just leaves directly." ”

Cheng Xi waved her hand disappreciably, and Ji Chengjin was grateful to her.

She sighed: "Ji Gongzi's voice is so good, it's a pity that it's a stammer, but it doesn't affect my plan." ”

Hongye is wondering when Ji Gongzi stammered, and he heard the princess say that she wanted to ask him for something, of course she supported the princess very much, but at the same time she had a doubt.

"Since the princess is angry, she still decided to participate in the Hua Dynasty chess game, but why don't you ask for chess to wait for the edict, but ask Ji Gongzi to teach?"

"If I ask for a chess edict, then not everyone knows about it!" Cheng Xi lightly knocked on Hongye's head, "I just want to quietly improve, and then surprise everyone in the Huachao chess game!" ”

Back in the room, Cheng Xi looked at the chessboard and pondered, how can he reflect the full sincerity of his apprenticeship? The palace maids and eunuchs who heard about her heroic deeds from the mouth of Momiji offered suggestions one after another, and after listening to it for a long time, she felt that she could give it a try.

On the second day, not long after Ji Chengjin had breakfast, he was invited to the main courtyard by Shui Yue, and when he left, Streamer was very worried about the safety of his son, he had heard about what happened in the imperial garden yesterday, could it be that Princess Mingruo was looking for trouble with his son again?

Ji Chengjin walked into the courtyard, looking around, the courtyard was full of red camellias, next to the stone table next to the camellias, there was a young woman wearing a long red and embroidered skirt and a lotus-colored large-sleeved saro shirt.

But she is a different person.

Princess Mingruo, who has always admired martial arts, is now staring at the chessboard with a focused expression, her brows furrowed slightly, and she is distressed by Luozi, which makes Ji Chengjin think of what happened in the Imperial Garden yesterday, and I don't know what trick she is playing.

Cheng Xi, who had just taken a step of chess, looked up and saw Shui Yue leading Ji Chengjin to the table, and immediately showed a smile and beckoned him to sit down: "I heard that Ji Gongzi can play chess, and it just so happens that I have been studying on my own recently, so I want to communicate with you, didn't disturb you?" ”

Ji Chengjin didn't sit down, only snorted lightly, and asked expressionlessly, "What advice does the princess have?" ”

"Today we're just talking about chess and nothing else, I promise."

Cheng Xi's words were conclusive, and Ji Chengjin couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only sit down opposite her.

Seeing Ji Chengjin taking a seat, Cheng Xi couldn't help but reflect, she is a self-familiar character, and often calls herself a brother and brother, and Ji Chengjin has suffered many years of humiliation as a proton, she is already cautious and sensitive and suspicious, in case he thinks that he is plotting wrong, and there is no negative news in the court, how can her career start?

After thinking about it seriously, in order to make things easier in the future, she immediately made a decision.

"Ji Gongzi, are you hungry?" Cheng Xi finished eating a piece of dim sum and stretched the dim sum plate under Ji Chengjin's nose, "You can also taste a piece, it is especially delicious to eat while it is hot." ”

Ji Chengjin looked at her flattering smile, hesitated for a long time, or resigned himself to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth, but he didn't expect it to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and delicious, and very novel taste.

"Isn't it delicious?" Seeing that he finished eating with his brows stretched, Cheng Xi whispered mysteriously: "I'll tell you a secret about this snack." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Cheng's heart sank, and there was really fraud!

He looked at Cheng Xi quietly, and saw her smiling, showing a smug expression, as if showing off: "This is a croquet made by myself, no one else has eaten it except you, and it is also my unique secret skill, now I told you, you can't tell others." ”

What does this mean? Ji Chengjin waited for a while and didn't follow, he was a little puzzled, shouldn't he tell himself that the dim sum was poisoned, and if he wanted the antidote, he had to kneel down and beg her?

Cheng Xi saw that Ji Chengjin's expression was dark and uncertain, and he sensed that he must have thought wrong, but he didn't intend to correct it, the shadow left by the past could not be reversed or erased, and what he experienced in the future would definitely give him a new understanding.

"Actually, I do have a request for Ji Gongzi, and I hope you must agree." Cheng Xi put down the dim sum plate and stared at Ji Chengjin with expectation, "Is it good for Ji Gongzi to teach me to play chess?" ”

When had Ji Chengjin seen such a sincere expression, and there was still a little light in her eyes, but he didn't speak, patiently waiting for her next move.

Seeing that Ji Cheng was noncommittal, Cheng Xi told him about participating in the Hua Dynasty chess game from beginning to end, and she also knew everything, and analyzed the reason for asking him for help, her words were sincere, her emotions were in place, and she almost burst into tears, she found that she was quite talented in acting.

Such a heartfelt performance did not impress Ji Chengjin, he said without emotion: "I'm just a waste outcast of Xinyang Kingdom, you have found the wrong person." ”

This sentence is somewhat familiar, her imperial brother once insulted Ji Chengjin like this, Cheng Xi was choked, she drew circles on the table with her fingers, smiled awkwardly, but encouraged her mouth: "Ji Gongzi, don't be arrogant, believe in yourself, you can, you can do it!" ”

Ji Chengjin looked at Cheng Xi coldly, sensing that something was wrong.

Since she was injured that day, she not only sent someone to bring meals and snacks to nourish her qi and blood every day, but also never looked for trouble again, and her life was so calm that she once suspected that she had found a new fun, which made her almost let her guard down, but she would always come, but she didn't expect that she wanted to learn chess.

I wanted to expose her hypocritical face coldly, and stop playing these useless tricks, but I didn't expect that she didn't get angry as usual, and said some inexplicable words, such an approachable attitude made Ji Chengjin's heart confused for the first time.

Sincere attitude, bribery of food, heartfelt praise, can't she still handle a Ji Chengjin? Seeing that he seemed to be a little shaken, Cheng Xi picked up the chess game on the table and handed it to him: "Master Ji, you can help me take a look, I plan to learn by myself according to the content of the book, but rote memorization is obviously not good, how to achieve a thorough understanding?" ”

Ji Chengjin glanced at her and took the chess game with some hesitation.

The first steps have already been taken, will victory be far away? Cheng Xi was eating dim sum, and Cheng Xi was admiring Ji Chengjin's appearance of reading a book, it was really beautiful!

White clothes and black hair, and camellia to form a strong color difference, more picturesque, after this period of food supplement, his complexion is much better, just standing in front of him, the body is erect like a pine, the temperament is elegant like bamboo, the fly in the ointment is still thinner.

Ji Chengjin roughly flipped through the chess game, trying to ignore the gaze that fell on him, and when he raised his head, he happened to meet the smiling eyebrows, Cheng Xi's innocent appearance made him even more confused, and he had to be careful.

"This is a fragment of a game from a hundred years ago, not for you." He placed the book on the stone table and said casually.

Cheng Xi immediately understood, the fragment means that the content is incomplete, the chess game from a hundred years ago, presumably the content is difficult to understand, which is not conducive to her half-learning at all, thinking of this, she asked Shui Yue to take the collected chess game to Ji Chengjin for a look, and let him recommend a few simple and easy-to-understand chess games suitable for advancement, and the rest of the books that are not needed are lent to him, and the reputation is to progress together.

Ji Chengjin couldn't refuse, and when he returned to the side courtyard, the streamer looked at the wide variety of chess games, and was very puzzled that Princess Mingruo would actually send a book to Gongzi, no, no, no, Princess Mingruo, who was disdainful of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, would actually find Gongzi to discuss and communicate, hell!
