Chapter 669: The Game
The chief eunuch was choked and didn't know what to say, he actually wanted to tell Murong Jun that Murong Hui was again in the middle of the night, afraid that he was having a tryst with someone.
As a princess, Murong Hui shouldn't have done such a thing, but obviously Murong Jun didn't think about it at all, as a minion, he didn't dare to talk about his master openly, and it was worth holding back his words.
After playing the song, Murong Hui opened her eyes and looked at the night outside, only then did she realize that the night was already deep.
Zhao Yu got up and said: "Your Highness, it's not too early, let's go back and rest early, and the minister should retire." ”
After saying that, he put away the chessboard and walked outside, but as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw the light of a lamp not far away, which shone on their side.
He was shocked, so he hurriedly lowered the curtain, Murong Jun only saw a phantom in the distance, knowing that he had been discovered, he was not annoyed, turned around and quietly left with a group of people.
"Your Highness, there seems to be someone over there."
Qing Yue naturally also noticed the light not far away, so her voice trembled a little, and she reminded Murong Hui in a low voice.
After installing the piano in person, Murong Hui got up, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw that the lights were already far away.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Zhao Yu and said, "Don't worry, from such a distance, even if you find someone here, you can't see your face clearly." ”
Zhao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was too panicked just now, and when he calmed down and thought about it, he suddenly felt that his temperament was not calm enough, and he panicked when he encountered this little thing, but he was not as calm as Murong Hui.
"Your Highness, it's really wrong for us to meet in the middle of the night, so don't meet like this in the future."
However, he also realized that Murong Hui was a princess, and although he was happy to meet each other, there was a difference between men and women after all, so he still needed to be taboo.
"It's okay, if I have something to do with you in the future, I will order someone to send you a plate of snacks, and you will go to the place agreed before to find me, so that it will not be easy to be discovered."
Although it was a false alarm, she still had to take into account Zhao Yu's feelings, and after thinking for a while, she spoke.
After the two separated, Qingyue held the qin, although Murong Hui walked all the way towards the east side hall.
The snow was still falling, blowing on his face with a slight coolness, Murong Hui squinted his eyes and couldn't help but slow down.
"But do you have something to tell me?"
The two were silent for a moment, and then Murong Hui glanced at it, and Qingyue, who had been preoccupied, asked.
Qingyue held the qin and glanced around, making sure that there was no one else, and then opened her mouth.
"Your Royal Highness, the slave maid has found out the origin of the material, the material is still a batch of tribute sent into the palace from Suzhou in June, Princess Rouhe once asked the emperor for it, but the emperor gave it to you."
Her words were a little awkward, Murong Hui always felt that something was wrong when she heard it, in her impression, the relationship between Murong Jun and Princess Rouhe had always been good.
This gentle princess was sealed by him personally, why didn't he even give her a piece of material now?
This is definitely not as simple as it seems, she glanced at Qingyue, and it was obvious that Qingyue could only find so much.
"Your Highness, the slave maid always feels that this gentle princess seems to have a little meaning to Your Majesty."
"Shut up!"
As soon as Qingyue's words fell, Murong Hui was shocked in her heart, she hurriedly opened her mouth and scolded, but her heart seemed to have set off a stormy wave.
Since even Qingyue can see Rouhe's thoughts about the emperor, the emperor himself must be able to see it, but he still named her a princess, could it be that in order to tell Princess Rouhe that they can only be brothers and sisters, not husband and wife?
Murong Hui thought like this in her heart, and before she knew it, she walked to the door of the east side hall, and as soon as she opened the curtain, she felt a warmth rushing to her face.
There is a bit of sweet fragrance of melons and fruits in the warmth, most of these melons and fruits were sent by Lin Yingxue, and in this winter, you can only eat melons and fruits in Fengyi Palace.
"Your Highness, you're finally back, the old slave just wanted to send someone out to find you."
Mama Huang greeted her and said with a smile on her face, looking at her expression, she knew that most of the things that were about the second prince's proposal were Huang.
Otherwise, maybe Mama Huang is worried now, where will she be in the mood to look for her everywhere.
"Go to the treasury and take out that white jade chessboard, and use it for tomorrow's competition."
Murong Hui took off her cloak and said to Mama Huang, this Mama Huang is more stereotypical, because she doesn't want to reveal the matter of meeting Zhao Yu in private to Mama Huang.
She walked to the door of the bedroom, and suddenly seemed to remember something, so she turned to Mama Huang and said: "That red material is also considered to be of the highest quality, it's a pity to put it like that, you ordered someone to embroider a soft pillow with that material, and take it to the queen in a few days." ”
Mama Huang hurriedly responded, and when she saw Murong Hui enter the bedroom, she hurriedly asked someone to embroider soft pillows.
The next morning, Murong Hui had breakfast, and went to Fengyi Palace to ask for peace, but he never thought that Murong Jun was there.
"Why do you have such an expression when you see me?"
Murong Jun pretended to be angry, but there was a little smile in his eyes, and he said to Murong Hui.
"It's just a little surprising, haven't you already been in court at this time in the past?"
Handing the hand stove to the palace people on the side, Murong Hui walked over quickly and asked with a smile.
"The snow is too heavy today, so I am exempt from the early dynasty."
In the past few days, Murong Hui has really earned him face, so when Murong Jun sees her now, he can't help but feel a lot better, urging the palace people next to him to bring dishes and chopsticks to Murong Hui.
"Hui'er has eaten, this morning Mama Zhang brought back a big bowl of duck soup from the imperial dining room, Hui'er drank two bowls, I really can't eat it."
Murong Hui hurriedly shook her head, deliberately glanced at Lin Yingxue's face, and found that her expression was as usual, and it seemed that she didn't plan to talk to her about proposing.
"That being the case, then sit down and chat with us, we are busy with a lot of things every day, and we are rarely free today, why don't we play a game later?"
Murong Jun didn't seem to be in a hurry to deal with the affairs of the envoys today, but wanted to invite Murong Hui to play chess.
Murong Hui was a little surprised, but she still nodded, her expression a little ignorant.
"If you want to play chess, I will accompany you to play, Hui'er has only learned to play for a few days, and you are afraid that if you can't play chess, Hui'er will lose."
Lin Yingxue on the side was quite puzzled and said with a smile, she was a little unclear about what Murong Jun meant.
"You are superb in chess, and you have to use your brain to play chess, which is really tiring, and it is not as easy as playing chess with Hui'er."
Murong Jun put down his chopsticks, and with a ruffian smile on his face, he lost the decisive momentum in the court.
Murong Hui was completely stunned, she looked at the two of them with an ignorant expression, and then admitted unconvinced: "Hui'er has learned chess skills for a long time, and she may not lose, so don't look down on people in your little uncle." ”
Murong Jun actually just wanted to tease her, he never thought that Murong Hui would be so serious, he simply became serious.
The two opened the chessboard and played against each other, while Lin Yingxue took the account book and checked it on the side, and was always busier than usual when the New Year was approaching.
Murong Hui was still confident just now, but when she really faced Murong Jun, she realized how bad her chess skills were.
If Murong Jun really wanted to win, Murong Hui would definitely not be able to resist five moves in his hands, she racked her brains, and in the end she only lost ten sons.
"Little uncle, you are really suitable for playing chess with the scholars, Hui'er is that skillful."
Murong Hui put down the chess pieces in her hand a little depressed, and pursed her mouth, feeling really like she had been hit.
"That's right, I thought you couldn't even carry five moves, but I never thought that you could pass ten moves with me, and you passed this year's annual exam."
Murong Jun put down the chess pieces in his hand and looked at Murong Hui with a funny face, although this child is Lin Yingxin's daughter, her temperament is not like her at all, but it makes Murong Jun love her a little more.
The two chatted for a while, and the chief eunuch hurriedly came over and asked Murong Jun to go to the Qinzheng Palace, Murong Jun yawned and ridiculed: "It's better to be the emperor than to be a minister, the minister has a day off every ten days, but the emperor doesn't have a day off." ”
Lin Yingxue laughed at him for being lazy, and at the same time carefully helped him put on his cloak, and told his subordinates to serve him carefully, and help him in every detail.
Murong Hui saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel that there was a warmth in this scene, but this atmosphere didn't last long, and she saw Princess Gentle appear at the door of the main hall.
She was holding wine in her hand as if she knew that Murong Jun was not in the court today, so she came to him to drink, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw such a scene, and the smile on her face immediately froze, and the eyes that swept over Lin Yingxue were even more poisonous.
Murong Hui naturally didn't miss it, and when she saw her like this, she only felt a little shocked.
"Are you leaving? I was thinking of coming to you for a drink. ”
Princess Soft quickly adjusted her expression and looked at Murong Jun with a disappointed expression, her expression was still a little pitiful.
Murong Hui sat silently on the side, and couldn't help but shudder.
"I have some official business to do, and I can't delay it, so I'll drink this wine when I have time."
Murong Jun seemed to be accustomed to it, and his tone was calm and a little cold, obviously he didn't want to go too close to Princess Rouhe.
After saying that, he took the hand stove and left in a hurry, his steps were still a little hurried.
"The imperial brother is busy with the government and is already hard, why doesn't the imperial sister-in-law prepare more tonic soup, but only does so little."
As soon as Murong Jun left, Princess Rouhe walked into the main hall with wine, and without waiting for Lin Yingxue to answer, she sat down at the table, stirred the black chicken and yam soup on the table with a spoon, and reproached.
"What else is the matter with the imperial sister?"
Lin Yingxue naturally wouldn't be inferior to her, especially knowing that this person was still thinking about her lover, she didn't have a good impression.
It's just that he has to maintain a superficial peace outside, so he is just cold to her, and he doesn't do anything else.
"Brother Huang is not here, it's a pity that this wine is left, why don't we have a few glasses together?"
Putting the wine on the table, the soft princess looked at Lin Yingxue with a smile, with a bit of mockery in her eyes, she had always looked down on Lin Yingxue, and she didn't hide it on weekdays, because as soon as these words came out, everyone frowned in unison.
