The flowers in the imperial garden have begun to bloom, but the entire palace is still deserted, except for the queen mother who lives in the harem, there is only one lady.

The emperor has announced to the outside world that the queen has gone to live in the annex in order to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and he did not say where it is.

It's just that since the queen left, the emperor has never set foot in the harem, which makes the already deserted harem even more deserted, even the very thoughtful flowers and plants that are taken care of under the hands of those palace people who take care of flowers and plants have not been able to bring a trace of excitement to this harem.

Concubine Shu is also a trouble-free, the queen leaves the palace, and the emperor no longer comes to the harem, which should be regarded as a humiliation for her, but she is very indifferent, how to live or how to live.

There was no news that the concubine had gone to the emperor.

This made those who originally had the idea of watching the excitement of this concubine entering the palace respect her a little more in their hearts.

Recently, there is one more person in the harem, and he is still a man.

It's the mysterious person who often appears next to the emperor, probably in his forties, but he just walks around very casually, and he doesn't have any intersection with the only concubine in the palace.

This gave everyone who watched the joke a breath.

On this day, it was still the mysterious gentleman, and he set up a chessboard in the pavilion of the imperial garden, and he played a game quietly by himself with a pot of tea.

It's just that today, it's not as quiet as usual, and someone actually visits him.

"It is said that the emperor relied heavily on Mr. Hong, and today it seems that there are really a few chic tastes."

The woman's voice came with a cold smell, Ah Hong got up unhurriedly, and then saluted the visitor: "The grass people see the Queen Mother." ”

The person who came was Zhou Yu, and she shook her head gently: "No courtesy, you are the emperor's guest, it is a little inappropriate to give me such a courtesy." ”

"Don't dare, contemptible grass people, don't dare to forget the rules."

Although he said this, he had already stood up straight, Zhou Yu looked at the chessboard on the stone table, and said with a smile: "This harem is very boring, I have never found anything to do, I have some skills today, I don't know if Mr. is willing to talk to the palace hand about a game." ”

"The honor of the grass people." Ah Hong didn't shirk either, and picked up the pieces on the chessboard immediately.

Zhou Yu's ability to turn the clouds and rain is especially for chess skills.

Ah Hong naturally knew this, and he didn't dare to slack off, so the two of them just sat in the pavilion and fought.

Probably people who like to play chess have such a fetish! But whenever you meet someone who is worthy of an opponent, there is a feeling that you can't stop.

Zhou Yu didn't expect that this person's chess skills were really rare in the world, and he originally had the intention of trying the depths at this time, but he was unconsciously indulged in it.

It's actually a little inappropriate to say, after all, Zhou Yu is the empress dowager of the deep palace, but Ah Hong is a man with no identity.

It's just that in this harem now, there is no need for someone to make waves, because there is no motive.

Probably Han Lingyan's harem is the most peaceful harem ever!

Although Zhou Yu's chess skills are good, they are still slightly inferior to Han Lingxi, and Ah Hong is going all out, and it is naturally a little difficult to win him.

Putting down the chess pieces in his hand, Zhou Yu smiled calmly: "The mourning family lost." ”

"Concession."

"How have you ever let it? The mourning family has always been a person who likes to chase after victories, and never likes to give way to opponents. ”

Zhou Yu's words were pointed, and at the same time, his tone was full of conceit.

Ah Hong smiled and did not answer.

The two seemed to have nothing to say, and after looking up at the surrounding scenery, Zhou Yu said lightly: "It's hard to believe that such a gorgeous harem can be so quiet." ”

"Peace of mind, quiet everywhere."

Ah Hong's words are quite meaningful.

Zhou Yu sneered: "Did you really let it go?" ”

"Is it necessary for me not to put it down?"

His sudden voice made Zhou Yu stunned for a moment, and then nodded helplessly with a smile: "Yes, to put it mildly, you still won, now, it's me, sitting in this deep palace, even if I still have the ability to turn over the clouds and rain, I have no idea." ”

"I don't believe it!" Who knew that Ah Hong actually came to such a sentence, which was quite ignorant.

"You don't believe me?" Raising his voice slightly, Zhou Yu looked at him with a sneer, "Why don't you believe it?" Is it only you who can let go, and the mourning family can't let go? ”

"You call yourself a mourner in front of me, which means that you are not at ease, your heart is still beating, and you are still unwilling to stop at this chessboard."

He looked into her eyes without any flicker, as if to say something too true to be true.

"On this chessboard?" Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, "Even on this chessboard, I can't beat you." ”

Ah Hong didn't answer, just sat quietly, as if accompanying an old friend to reminisce about the past.

"Was it wrong for me to do that?" After a long time, she spoke again, "I never thought about this question before, but now that I am idle, I will think about the past for a long time, and then I will ask myself, did I do something wrong back then?"

Perhaps, I didn't do that, and it would be better now. ”

"How can it be better? Do we need to expand the territory of the East? Ah Hong asked rhetorically, and then shook his head, "Not really?" ”

This surprised her: "You don't think so? ”

Ah Hong smiled: "It used to be, but after so many years, I know that in fact, Dongli's territory has reached its maximum, at least in the current situation, Yidongli's ability at this time is not enough to support a larger family business, this, you are right." ”

"I can't believe you think so." It took a long time for Zhou Yu to mutter.

"It's me who underestimated you, you are much stronger than Han Yuan, if a woman can become an emperor, I will definitely support you."

These words are very rebellious, even Zhou Yu at this time couldn't help but change color, but looking at the people sitting on the side, his face was extremely calm, and he didn't mean to be afraid at all, but it seemed that she was a little childish.

"Is it now that he is sitting in that position, you have no scruples? Don't forget, there may be his eyeliner everywhere here! ”

Ah Hong shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect that one day Zhou Yu would be so afraid." ”

said that her face immediately turned red, but after all, it was Zhou Yu, and it was only a matter of a moment.

The two of them fell silent again, looking at the sunset on the horizon, Zhou Yu sighed: "If you don't say me Zhou Yu, I almost forgot my own name, I am Queen Zhou, I am the Queen Mother of Zhou, but no one has ever called me Zhou Yu again." ”

"I have always respected Mr. Zhou."

"I know!" Zhou Yu said lightly, "When you were a child, you often went to my house, and grandpa liked you very much at that time." ”

"It's Mr. Zhou's wrong love."

Twenty years ago, Zhou Yu would never have imagined that one day they would sit together and chat so quietly.

Even earlier, she didn't like him for no other reason, her grandfather was the most respected person in her heart, and she was also the one who was most favored by her grandfather among all the younger generations.

But compared to her blood relatives, her grandfather seemed to like the man next to him more.

Since she was a child, she has a strong heart in her bones, and in the face of a person who is better than herself and is more liked by her elders, she naturally has the intention of fighting for it.

Later, she finally won him, and since then she has never seen this man who presses her head everywhere in her life, and she never cares.

Now I know that this formidable opponent has long since changed his mentality.

Now that I have been recognized by him, I am not as happy as I imagined, but I feel that time has slipped through my fingers.

Han Lingyan came out of the Qinzheng Palace, and planned to talk to Ah Hong's hand for a game, and recently he seems to be obsessed with playing against him, just because when he can't handle many things by himself, he can always find a way to break the game from his chess.

Even sometimes Han Lingyan wondered if Ah Hong had insight into everything about him, and then used Go to tell him the method.

This kind of feeling, Han Lingxian has never had before, as if there is an elder standing in the distance, guiding him how to move forward, this empty harem seems to have a little more popularity.

Could it be that after Qing'er left, she deliberately left Ah Hong so that she would not be lonely?

When I was thinking about it, I walked to the Imperial Garden, and I saw Ah Hong and Zhou Yu sitting in the pavilion, both of them had no expression on their faces, and they seemed to be saying this without a match.

These two people actually know each other?!

For Zhou Yu, Han Lingyan was still a little jealous in the end, not so much that he took the throne from Han Yuan's hands, but from Zhou Yu's hands.

It's just that he was able to sit in this position so smoothly, and the most important thing was that Zhou Yu was constrained by Han Yuan everywhere.

When I was a little worried in my heart, I suddenly realized a problem, from Ah Hong's chess skills and personality, it can be seen that he is definitely not an ordinary person, if he is a father, in the face of such a talent, he will definitely be reused.

Then maybe Ah Hong faced Zhou Yu directly, and it was normal for the two of them to know each other.

It's just that I don't know what the two people are talking about at this time, could it be that it was back then?

Thinking of this, my heart is a little moved, after all, because of various human factors, there is basically no trace of the war back then, these two people can be regarded as personal experience, and it is naturally different from other ways.

Before he left, Zhou Yu's voice came: "The emperor is here, this Mr. Hong you invited is really good at chess, and the mourning family is convinced." ”638
