127 Arrogance

After the first three days of the autumn hunt, the emperor seemed to have had enough fun and did not go hunting again. With {dream} small ◢.1a

Some of the noble sons and daughters have gone into the hunting grounds to play, hunt, run horses, and enjoy the scenery.

The emperor stayed in the hunting palace, but he was not idle, every day a large number of pieces were sent from the capital to the hunting palace, these pieces will be sent to the Moyuan Pavilion by Cen Yin one by one, and then pick out the important folds and send them to the emperor for approval, and most of the others, most of them are approved by Cen Yin.

Rao is like this, the emperor is still busy and dizzy, on the way to the hunting palace and the first three days of hunting have accumulated a lot of folds, stacked on the emperor's desk......

On October 17, several forbidden troops who escorted Yang Yunran to Yuanhua Temple hurriedly returned, saying that they encountered a group of bandits on the way, although they fought desperately, but the other party was numerous, and finally even the people and carriages were robbed!

The emperor was immediately furious, and ordered the forbidden soldiers to be pulled down with fifty rods each, and ordered the arrest of the bandits.

As for Yang Yunran, the emperor didn't mention it.

In the imperial study, the emperor still didn't understand the hatred in his heart, but he sat so quietly behind the imperial case, and his whole body released a terrifying momentum, and several attendants around him were silent, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Your Majesty, bandits are rampant and domineering, and we must suppress bandits as soon as possible, so as not to turn a small disaster into a big disaster." Cen Yin said on the side, "The minister thinks that this bandit originated from the homeless people who fled the famine, and if you want to fundamentally solve the problem of the bandits, you still have to provide disaster relief and comfort the people......

The emperor did not speak for a long time, and there was darkness in his deep eyes, like the turbulence hidden under the seemingly calm sea.

How did the emperor not know these truths.

It's just that if you want to soothe the people, you need silver, however, since last winter, there have been snow disasters, spring floods, and banditry in various places, and a lot of silver has been allocated in order to relieve disasters and suppress bandits, and a lot of military supplies have been consumed in the previous war with Beiyan for several years, and this year's tax revenue has been reduced by nearly half because of the disaster, and now the treasury is empty, and the finances are overwhelmed, and there is no silver at all......

If you want to fill the treasury, you have to find another way!

Silence spread in the imperial study, until half an hour later, a small chamberlain finally came out of the imperial study, followed by a few small chamberlains hurriedly left the main hall and went to deliver the emperor's message.

Halfway through, several confused cabinet ministers gathered in the imperial study, and in the shocked eyes of the ministers, the emperor silently put the ban on opening the sea on the agenda again.

All the ministers subconsciously looked at each other, no one expected that the emperor would suddenly bring up this topic again, they were unprepared, and they didn't react for a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is imperative to open a port and mutual market!"

Duanmuxian took the lead in standing up and supporting the emperor's opening of the sea ban. No matter what pushed the emperor, for him, it was a good thing that fell from the sky.

Duanmuxian had long been familiar with the pros and cons of opening the sea ban, and after a while, he gushed out the "five benefits and five considerations" of opening the port and mutual market, as well as the "four benefits and four considerations" of continuing the sea ban.

In contrast, the remarks of the Ministry of Shangshu You Junji's insistence that "the ban on opening the sea is not trivial, and it will cause maritime chaos if you are not careful, and you need to weigh the pros and cons carefully" seems empty and powerless.

Several cabinet ministers present are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and they don't know seven or eight about their emperor, but also five or six, and they all know that as early as after the Li family in Minzhou got on that excerpt, the emperor has already moved his heart about opening the sea, but there is still one last hesitation, but this hesitation seems to have disappeared now.

Once the Emperor has made up his mind, no one can stop his decision!

On October 18, the emperor officially issued an edict to open the sea ban in Minzhou, set up customs in the two cities of Minzhou, supervise the trade and merchant ships, and collect customs duties.

As soon as the decree was clear, the hunting palace was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and it was boiling for a while, and Duanmu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, the most difficult step had been completed.

The emperor also ordered the household department to be responsible for the relevant "market opening matters", and asked Duanmu Xian to draw up specific rules, Duanmu Xian was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, but he did not feel tired at all, but was in good spirits.

As long as the opening of the sea ban goes smoothly and the treasury is abundant, then he is the biggest hero! Who will take the position of first assistant?

Three more days passed in Duanmuxian's busyness, and the uproar caused by the emperor's decree to open the sea ban gradually subsided...... It was not until October 21 that Prince Jian arrived at the Hunting Palace.

Duanmu Fei heard the news from Wuyang, who had originally asked Junran and Xie Yu to go boat racing on the Jiuxiu River today, but they had just gone out and turned back halfway.

“…… Ah Ran went to greet his father, and Cousin Yue also went to join in the fun, and Bengong and Sister Yunhua came back first. Wuyang sat down next to Duanmu Fei as he spoke.

Duanmu was stunned and thoughtful.

She had heard Duanmuxian mention that after Beiyan and Dasheng signed a peace letter, for the friendship of the two countries, the king of Beiyan specially sent envoys to Beijing to greet the emperor, Prince Jian has always had a sacred heart, this time he did not come to the hunting palace with the holy car, just to stay in Beijing to arrange the corresponding matters.

Now Prince Jane has come to the Hunting Palace......

"Sister Wuyang, but the envoy of Beiyan has come to Beijing?" Duanmu asked.

Wuyang raised her right eyebrow in surprise, and her expression seemed to say that her scarlet sister was really smart.

"Not exactly. Prince Jian accompanied the envoys of Northern Yan to hunt the palace. Wuyang took a sip of tea and said, "Beiyan also sent their second prince over this time, and my father should have a banquet to entertain the envoys tonight......"

While the two were talking, a palace maid in Cuiyi walked in quickly and said, "Your Highness, the fourth princess has come down." ”

Before the words fell, Han Xing's crisp and cheerful voice had already come from outside: "Sister Emperor, cousin Scarlet, do you want to go see the excitement?" ”

Between the words, as soon as the curtain of the door was opened, Han Xing, who was wearing a concubine-colored folded plum embroidered skirt, entered the left room with a smile.

Wuyang raised his eyes to look, hooked the corners of his lips, and asked with interest, "What's the excitement?!" ”

Han Xing said the ins and outs with his eyebrows fluttering: "Early this morning, Jiuhua, Dangui and a group of girls went to Cuiwei Garden to hold a piano party and enjoy the flowers and play the piano. After everyone played a song, they wanted to judge the leader of the piano club. Jiuhua and Lan Hui's piano skills are equal, neither of them is convinced of anyone, and they are angry in a few words, saying that they have to compete well today, and whoever wins is the first talented woman in the capital! ”

Since Chu Qing passed away half a year ago, none of the nobles in Beijing who boast of being talented women have been convinced by anyone.

In the past six months, those noble ladies have also had several quarrels in various gatherings in Beijing, but they were all petty fights and did not make any waves.

When Wuyang and Duanmu heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

Lan Hui is the big girl Lan of the Jinjun Palace, how many catties she and the county lord of Jiuhua have, Wuyang and Duanmufei both know it, although these two can be said to be "piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything", but compared with some talented women of Wenchen families in Beijing, there is still a little difference.

Hanxing likes to join in the fun the most, and with great interest, he pulled up Wuyang with one hand and Duanmu Fei with the other, and walked out.

"Sister Huang, cousin Scarlet, let's go quickly. Dangui specially sent someone to call us, but don't let down her kindness. If it's late, the excitement will be over......"

Wuyang and Duanmu Fei were idle anyway, so they went to Cuiwei Garden with Hanxing.

The sun is warm, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the fallen leaves are blowing in the wind, as if even the sky is dyed with a hint of depression.

The three of them laughed and walked all the way into the Linshui Pavilion.

There are five rooms in the waterfront pavilion, spacious and transparent, and the window sashes on all sides are wide open at this moment, and you can hear the laughter of the girls floating out of it from a distance.

The house was full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, and there were many dressed girls.

As soon as Wuyang, Duanmu Fei and Hanxing entered the pavilion, the county lord of Dangui greeted them with a smile and saluted them, and said casually: "Two highnesses, Jiuhua and Lan Da girl are trying to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they have already competed three games of piano, calligraphy and painting just now, and the first three games were tied, and now the fourth game is being played." ”

Looking along Dangui's line of sight, it can be seen that Jiuhua and Lan Hui are sitting by the window near the water, and the two are sitting face to face across the chessboard, concentrating.

Seven or eight girls were watching the chess around the two girls, and the girls occasionally exchanged their heads with fans.

"Dah. Click. Da ......"

The crisp sound of falling children came from time to time.

Wuyang quickly retracted his gaze, and saw Duanmu Fei curiously pointing to the two large mahogany cases against the wall on the east side and asking, "Sister Dangui, over there are the calligraphy and paintings made by the county lord of Jiuhua and the big girl Lan?" ”

Dangui answered, and beckoned them to come over and look at the paintings with a smile.

On the two large mahogany tables, there are four calligraphy and paintings side by side: two characters and two paintings.

On the two characters on the left are written two small poems, one in regular script and the other in cursive script.

"Guess which one was written by Jiuhua, and which one was written by Miss Lan?" Dangui asked in a vague manner.

Han Xing looked at these two words back and forth, and had no clue for a while.

Wuyang's heart was like a mirror, pointing to the cursive script casually, and said affirmatively: "This one is written by Jiuhua!" ”

Dangui blinked, looked at Wuyang in surprise, and before she could speak, she heard another female voice echo with a smile: "Your Highness guessed well." This cursive script is the book of the lord of Jiuhua County. ”

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in blue came over with four or five girls, and saluted with Wuyang, followed by the girl in blue who had just spoken out and looked at the cursive and praised: "The county lord's cursive hand is like a bead, never leaving, like a dragon and snake flying, it is really wonderful!" ”

"I heard that the county lord also went to Jiangnan to consult the cursive masters, and now it seems that it is really worth the trip." Another girl in pink said, "In comparison, Miss Lan's regular script is ineffective, and it will inevitably be inferior." ”

Duanmu Fei first appreciated the words with great interest, and then went to another table on the side to appreciate the paintings.

The two paintings on the case are made in response to the scene, depicting the scenery in the garden, one is a picture of flowers and birds, and the other is a picture of the lakeside scenery.

After Duanmu Fei looked at it, he pointed to one of the pictures of flowers and birds and asked, "Sister Dangui, could it be that Miss Lan won the county lord of Jiuhua with this painting?" ”

Just now Dangui said that Jiuhua and Lan Hui compared three games of piano, calligraphy, and painting, but they just had a tie, if the two were barely tied on the piano, then that is to say, they won one game each in calligraphy and painting.

Dangui didn't expect that Wuyang and Duanmu Fei were both breaking through the mystery in one word, and suddenly felt that he was selling very boring at this level, and asked curiously: "Duanmu girl, how did you see it?" The implication is to affirm Duanmufei's guess.

Duanmu Fei pointed to the ripples of a certain lake on the painting, and then pointed to a certain stroke of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the cursive script, "From the same pen." ”

Everyone was stunned, Dangui couldn't help but stretch her neck to take a look, and then couldn't help laughing, stroked her palm and praised Wuyang: "Your Highness, I have always thought that Duanmu Girl's eyes are beautiful, but they are still fiery eyes!" ”

The other girls also laughed dumbly.

The corners of Wuyang's lips curled slightly, and there was a little smile in his eyes, and he walked to Duanmu Fei's side and looked at the two paintings, and said happily: "But Er'er." ”

Between the words, Wuyang's expression revealed a faint mockery. is just such a trivial trick, and the two of them dare to keep saying that they want to be comparable to Sister Ci, which is really beyond their means.

Hearing this, several girls couldn't help but look at each other, and no one dared to answer Wuyang's words.

Who doesn't know that the county lord of Jiuhua has always been a bad person, in case she says the wrong thing and reaches her ears, they may not have good fruit to eat......

The atmosphere around is slightly cold.

Dangui and Wuyang were familiar with each other, so he didn't care, and affectionately took Wuyang's arm and said, "Your Highness, let's go and watch them play chess." ”

The group hugged Wuyang and Hanxing and walked towards Jiuhua and Lan Hui, who were playing chess, and the girls who were watching all retreated to both sides, making some vacant seats for Wuyang and Hanxing.

The location near the window is very quiet, and the few bushes of evergreens outside the window reflect half of the room in thick green, and occasionally the breeze blows, and the greenery sways with it.

On the new oak chessboard, half of the chess game between the two has been played, and the black and white children each occupy half of the world, and they are bound to become fire and water, one step by step, steady and steady; One saw the move and fought back decisively.

"Dah. Click. ”

The sound of falling pieces is still ringing, and the chess game is in full swing.

Duanmu tilted his head, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he couldn't help but think of the chess game in his mind, if he went down according to this situation, when the sunspot finished the game, Baizi was afraid that it would be dangerous......

"Sister Scarlet." Wuyang pulled Duanmufei's sleeve and said with a bored face, "Let's go out and play." "Wuyang has always had little patience for playing chess, let alone watching chess.

Duanmu Fei looked at the chessboard where the battle was in full swing again, and was a little reluctant.

Wuyang's eyes rolled slightly, and he proposed with a smile: "Sister Scarlet, let's go kick the shuttlecock." ”

As soon as he heard Wuyang's proposal to kick the shuttlecock, Duanmu's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the chess game behind him, and responded with a smile: "Okay." ”

Duanmu Fei still wanted to greet Han Xing together, but saw Han Xing waving his hand at her, looking like "go by yourself". Looking at Han Xing's sparkling eyes, you can know what she means, she wants to stay here to watch the excitement.

Wuyang and Duanmu looked at each other and smiled, and the two left the Linshui Pavilion hand in hand and went to the open space by the lake.

The row of plane trees by the lake shaded the sky and blocked the scorching sun above, and this position was flat and empty, just right for the two of them to kick the shuttlecock.

After a while, Bi Chan and Wuyang's personal palace maid Qingfeng brought shuttlecocks to the two masters.

"Sister Scarlet ......" Wuyang originally wanted to ask Duanmu Fei how much he had learned, but when his eyes fell on the shuttlecock in Bi Chan's hand, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he changed his words and praised, "Your shuttlecock is so good-looking!" ”

At first glance, the shuttlecocks of the two seem to be about the same, but when the two are placed together, the difference comes out.

Duanmu's shuttlecock is both beautiful and exquisite, and the long feathers are shiny and colorful, falling in all directions like flowers blooming.

Rays of sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the colorful feathers on the shuttlecock seemed to glow like the glittering colorful gems.

Duanmu Fei was taking the shuttlecock from Bi Chan's hand, and when he heard the words, his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

This shuttlecock was sent by Feng Yan, and after Feng Yan said that her shuttlecock was not good, he sent her a shuttlecock made by himself within two days.

Duanmu Fei originally wanted to "offer" this shuttlecock in the house, but this shuttlecock is really good, much more stable than her original one, so she can't put it down, so she often takes it out and kicks it.

Duanmu Fei flashed slightly, and as soon as her hand slipped, the shuttlecock fell from between her fingers......

Wuyang quickly took half a step forward, leaned over and grabbed the shuttlecock quickly, played with it in his hand, and tried to kick it two or three times.

The shuttlecock is like a bird with gorgeous feathers, and it falls together regularly with the kicking of the dancing sun, as if it is a part of her body, and she can do whatever she wants.

After Wuyang tried to kick a few times, he returned the shuttlecock to Duanmu Fei and asked, "Sister Scarlet, how many times can you make the shuttlecock now?" ”

Duanmu squeezed the shuttlecock and replied complacently: "Sister Wuyang, I can already make ten strokes in one breath at most...... When I practice again, you can teach me how to 'stretch' the shuttlecock, okay? ”

Wuyang responded naturally, and comforted him: "You practice slowly, practice makes perfect." ”

Duanmu Fei played by himself, and the colorful shuttlecock flew in the air again, rising for a while, falling for a while, and flying sideways for a while......

Wuyang looked at it for a while, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Duanmu Fei occasionally has one time in ten times that she can make ten shuttlecocks in one breath, but when she coils the shuttlecock, she bumps and bumps like a fledgling that has just begun to learn to fly, and the whole person runs and runs with the shuttlecock, unlike Hanxing and himself when the shuttlecock can maintain one foot and stand motionless, as steady as Mount Tai.

However, there has been progress, isn't it? Wuyang comforted himself in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and he encouraged Duanmu Fei from time to time, and it was inevitable that he would have some sympathy for the bicicada who picked up shuttlecock for Duanmu Fei.

Duanmu scarlet had a shuttlecock coiled for nearly half an hour, Rao is she hid under the shade of the tree, and a little sweat oozed from her forehead, but she was radiant, Xia Fei's cheeks were flying, and she was obviously having a good time.

"Sister Scarlet ......" Wuyang wanted to persuade Duanmu Fei to sit down and take a nap, but saw a familiar blue figure trotting over from the direction of Linshui Pavilion.

It is Hanxing's personal palace maid Yingluo.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the fourth girl of Duanmu." Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief a few steps away, then bowed to the two of them, and said with a smile, "Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, please go to Linshui Pavilion to see the excitement." ”

Listening to Yingluo's playful tone, Wuyang and Duanmufei were both a little curious, and Wuyang asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”

Yingluo talked about what happened after Wuyang and Duanmu Fei left Linshui Pavilion:

Before a stick of incense, when Jiuhua and Lan Hui's chess reached the end of the game, the emperor, Prince Jian and several close ministers and noble sons happened to bring a few envoys from the Northern Yan to Cuiwei Garden to stroll in the garden, and also entered the Linshui Pavilion to watch the chess game.

Among the envoys of the Northern Yan is the second son of the King of the Northern Yan, the second prince Yelu Lu, the second prince of the Northern Yan is a good chess person, and when he saw that the chess game was still reversed, he made a few points, so that the Jiuhua County Lord, who was originally at a disadvantage, reversed the chess game.

That Yelu Lu was proud of his extraordinary chess skills, so he challenged the people present, and the second son of Li of the Imperial History Mansion of Zuodu volunteered to play a game with Ye Lu Chen, but he only admitted defeat in the middle game.

“…… Now, the second prince of Beiyan is playing against the fourth prince of Lin on the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry. Yingluo came together in an orderly manner.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Mansion is a scholarly family for several generations, although this Lin Sigongzi is just a showman, but his chess power is a leader among the younger generation, even the master of the sky has personally praised it, and the fourth prince of Lin will go to the Huangjue Temple from time to time to find the master of the sky to play chess.

Hearing this, Wuyang raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of interest between his eyebrows, this chess game was much more interesting than the chess game between Jiuhua and Lan Hui just now.

Wuyang turned his head to Mu Fei's shining eyes, took her arm and said with a smile: "Sister Scarlet, then let's go and join in the fun." ”

With that, the two of them walked slowly in the direction of Linshui Pavilion, followed by Yingluo.

In the garden, the breeze is gentle and leisurely.

In the water pavilion, it was quiet and the atmosphere was tense.

Wuyang and Duanmu Scarlet Fish walked in, and their eyes looked at the chessboard near the window at a glance.

On the side of the chessboard, there was a crowd of people, and many girls and sons gathered there to watch chess, which was much more lively than before.

In the center of the crowd, two young men with very different descriptions were holding their hands and talking.

One is a young man of different races in his twenties, with a majestic figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and deep contours, just sitting there so quietly, exuding a kind of masculinity all over his body; The other is the elegant Dasheng son, who is about the age of a weak crown, wearing an azure straight jacket, thin eyes and long eyebrows, and a gentleman like jade.

You are a son, I am a son, and the speed at which the two of them fall is extremely fast, as if they are engaged in a speed duel.

The person sitting opposite Yelu and playing against him was not Lin Sigongzi, but Du Dagongzi, the eldest grandson of Du Dagongzi, the head of the Hanlin Academy.

Wuyang and Duanmu Fei's eyes swept around for half a circle, and they saw Lin Sigongzi wearing a blue moire straight jacket, only to see that his expression was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were stubbornly pursed, as if he was a little ashamed, two unwilling, and three remorseful.

Could it be that Fourth Prince Lin also lost?! The thought crossed their minds at the same time, and their faces were even more surprised.

"Smack, smack, smack."

The fierce sound of falling children still sounded one after another, and sparks shot out between the falling sounds, and the swords were tense.

Duanmu Fei vaguely thought of something, and said in a low voice: "...... them Playing rapid chess? ”

"It's still a ten-breath rapid move." Han Xing came to the two of them and said in a low voice.

There are so many people surrounded by three layers in front and three layers outside, and Wuyang and Duanmufei naturally can't see the chess game.

However, there were two chamberlains on the side who were coming and going, skillfully laying out the chess games one by one for the emperor and several ministers to watch the chess, Wuyang and Duanmufei simply went to the east side of the wall seat to salute the emperor, and by the way, they also touched the emperor's light and watched the chess game.

The game is nearing its end.

Compared with the previous game of chess of the girls, this game of chess is obviously a lot more powerful, just like the enemy and me on the battlefield to fight to the death, black and white are all frequent killing moves, the chess game looks confusing at first glance, and then looks, in fact, the advantages and disadvantages have been divided.

If you don't make ten moves, you will be decided.

As if in response to Duanmu Fei's speculation, there was an uproar in the direction of Yelu and Du Dagongzi, and the people watching the chess instantly became commotionous.

In the next moment, the chamberlain walked over quickly and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Duke Du has admitted his defeat." ”

Jeremy has won again!

Hearing this, the corners of the emperor's mouth tightened, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

With this one, Dasheng has lost three games in a row!

Go, the originator of chess, originated in the Central Plains of China, with a long history of thousands of years, can be called the art of a gentleman, the art of a gentleman, and the learning of a gentleman.

But now, Yang Dasheng actually lost to the people from Fanbang in Beiyan District in Go.

There was another commotion in the direction of the chessboard, and Yelu stood up, and the boys and girls around him naturally made way for him.

Dressed in an indigo lapel trimmed robe, Yelu walked in the direction of the emperor with his head held high, stopped three steps away, as if he did not see the emperor's displeasure, smiled and clenched his fists, and said in a fluent Dasheng official dialect: "Your Majesty the Dasheng Emperor, this king has heard that the eldest daughter of the Chu family is very good at chess, can you ask for advice or two?" ”

There was an instant silence around, and a pin drop could be heard.

For a while, many eyes around looked at the old lady Chu who was sitting not far away, and their expressions were a little subtle.

Who in Beijing doesn't know that the Chu girl in the Xuanguo Mansion is extremely smart and amazingly talented, but she is famous......

Old lady Chu put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Second Prince Xie praises, but the old man's granddaughter is no longer alive......" There is no joy or sorrow in his tone.

Duanmu couldn't help lowering his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes. She knew she had broken his old man's heart again......

"It's a pity!" Yelu sighed with emotion, and then shook his head, "However, it seems that today, Dasheng's chess strength is not as good as Er'er, although the eldest daughter of the Chu family is famous, but this king remembers an ancient saying in the Central Plains: Under fame, it is actually difficult to deserve." ”

The extralingual voice means that Chu Qingci is just a vain name.

The emperor's face was even more ugly, like a cloud.

They are a great country in the Celestial Empire, and they should be so humiliated by a mere barbarian!

At this moment, there are dozens of people in the cabinet, and the emperor can certainly pick out a person whose chess strength is far superior to Yelulu from among the courtiers who is far superior to Yelu, but most of these courtiers have passed the age of not being confused, even if they win Yeluren, they are inevitably suspected of bullying the small...... Speaking of which, these young juniors are not angry!

"Second prince, how can you mention the resignation sister of this palace!" At this time, Wuyang said unhappily, looking at Yelu Lu with sharp and cold eyes, "Don't say that you can't even compare to Sister Ci's finger, and you can't even compare to the nine-year-old scarlet sister of this palace!" ”

This sentence made dozens of eyes around focus on Duanmu Fei beside Wuyang, and many people still remember that Duanmu Fei won the game of chess set by the Ministry of Shangshu Youjun, with different expressions.

Yelu also followed everyone's line of sight to Duanmu Fei, looked up and down at this little girl who had only reached his chest and looked like a white dough, squinted her eyes, and seemed to say to herself: "The little girl looks a little familiar...... Is your surname Duanmu?! He directly raised his hand and asked Duanmu Fei.

Before Duanmu Fei could speak, Jiuhua on the side had already blurted out in surprise: "How does the second prince know?" ”

The corners of Yelu's mouth curled, revealing an expression of "sure enough", and said lightly: "This king went to Fuqing City in the north once four years ago, and the foolish daughter of Duanmu Shoucheng Lieutenant is you." There was undisguised contempt and mockery in his look and tone.

Duanmu Fei didn't remember seeing Yelu Lu before, four years ago, the original owner was only five years old, and most of the memories were about his father and sister.

Duanmu Fei raised his eyes to look at Yelu Lu a few steps away, and there was a cold light in his big black and white eyes.

Duanmufei has no opinion on the peace between the two countries, after all, the victims of the long-term war between the two countries are those ordinary people and border soldiers, but the second prince of Beiyan has no respect for the deceased, so arrogant, he should teach a good lesson, lest he don't know the height of the sky, and really think that there is no one in Dasheng!

Duanmu Fei raised his head and smiled at Yelu, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, my father is Duanmu Lang. Your Highness wants to talk to me about it! ”

Duanmufei's voice was as crisp as the tinkling of a stream, clear and clear, but it was a little provocative.

Hearing this, Yelu sneered disdainfully.

"You fool still dare to challenge my second brother?!"

Behind Yelu walked out a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl of an alien race wearing a coral red placasse.

The voice of the alien girl has a thick accent, the appearance is three or four points similar to Yelu's, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, her face is as gorgeous as a peach blossom, and a string of red coral beads hangs down from her forehead, reflecting her fair skin and snow, and the hair on both cheeks and red ribbons are braided into several small braids, which hang down on her chest and shoulders at will, pretty and cute, and have a different exotic style.

This girl is also a member of the Northern Yan envoy team, and she is the fifth princess Yeluchen under the knee of the King of Northern Yan.

Ye Luchen was nearly a head taller than Duanmu Fei, looking down at Duanmu Fei with a contemptuous gaze, his plump red lips were lightly raised, and he said in a coquettish voice: "My second brother learned chess at the age of three, and at the age of ten he was already in my Beiyan to meet an opponent, and he also went to Dongying, worshiped under the first chess saint of Dongying, and was regarded as his only successor by the chess saint, and he has never lost a game for three years." ”

For hundreds of years, there are also Dongying chess players who have crossed the sea to Dasheng to learn chess skills, and this Dongying chess saint is one of them, and has faced off with several chess masters in Jiangnan, and there are few opponents.

The faces of the people around them all changed, knowing that this fifth princess of Beiyan was not boasting, and the three games of rapid chess just now showed Yelu's chess strength.

In comparison, although Duanmu Fei seems to have some talent in Go, but after all, she is only a little girl who is less than ten years old, and she was able to find a glimmer of life in that endgame to win You Junji that day, firstly because of You Junji's carelessness, and secondly, I am afraid that there is also a bit of luck and coincidence.

Now playing fast chess from scratch with a chess master like Yelulu, it is not a bit of luck to win chess, once you lose again, it verifies the sentence of "Dasheng's chess strength is not Erer", but Dasheng's face is lost!

Everyone's inquiring eyes all looked at the emperor, and the emperor's face sank like water, rubbing the jade wrench on his thumb, but did not speak.

Duanmu Fei didn't seem to notice the strange looks of the others, looked at Yelu Lu with big eyes without blinking, and asked again: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, do you dare to fight with me!" ”

This little fool really doesn't know how thick the sky is! The corners of Yelu's mouth curled higher, but the mockery in the smile became stronger, and he said lightly: "Then the king will play with you casually!" Little girl, don't cry if you lose! ”

Duanmu smiled sweetly, and comforted the other party seriously: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, don't worry, I never cry when I lose." Speaking of which, I haven't lost in years! She pinched her fingers, as if counting the time uncertainly.

Others only pretend to be Duanmufei, but Jun Ran has another idea.

With his understanding of this little dumpling with black sesame filling, what she said was very serious.

Jun Ran almost didn't laugh when he heard this, so he could only barely endure it, and his shoulders trembled.

Interesting, so funny!

There is a saying: it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all. How can such a good thing be enjoyed by yourself!

Jun Ran quietly beckoned to the little guy, and whispered a command in the little guy's ear, the little guy nodded slightly, and then quietly retreated, all this happened between three or four breaths, and no one paid attention to it at all.
