Chapter 55: What Are You Playing?
In the East Palace, Shen Cuobai was sitting in front of the chess table, playing chess with the old emperor little by little.
The old emperor put down his son, looked at Shen Cuobai, who was hesitant on the other side, and reminded with a smile, "No matter what the reason is, you should have enough respect for your opponent." ”
Shen Cuobai looked at the emperor with a smile and nodded, "It's the fault of the sons, I'm a little absent-minded." ”
Shen Cuobai slowly put down a chess piece and landed in the center of the chessboard, surrounded by the old emperor's anger.
The old emperor held the sunspot in his hand, and he refused to leave it behind, "Jiang Heng, your grandfather's chess skills, that is also a unique skill, I don't know how much you have learned, come and see, where should I play?" ”
Jiang Heng was suddenly surprised for a moment when he heard the old emperor's words, then he came to his senses and hurriedly saluted, "Grandfather said, watching chess is a true gentleman. No matter where the emperor is, the emperor's decision is right. ”
The old emperor laughed after listening to Jiang Heng's words, and after thinking about it for a long time, he put the sunspot in his hand back and leaned back on the back of the chair, "You are not at all different from your grandfather!" Your grandfather is not as good at complimenting as you, otherwise he wouldn't have offended so many ministers! I still remember that when he fought against his ministers, he was as heroic as a warrior! ”
The old emperor fell into deep thoughts, and no one spoke, waiting for the old emperor to speak quietly.
After a long time, the old emperor slowly spoke again, "After so many years, I didn't expect that his descendants would actually become military generals, and they are such excellent generals!" ”
The old emperor set his eyes on Jiang Heng's body and looked at the young man in front of him, "You started to win the martial arts champion, I actually thought that your grandfather secretly opened up the relationship, but he ignored his upright temperament, he didn't bother to pave the way for you!" I didn't expect that if I put you in such a leaderless barracks, you would be able to shine! ”
The praise in the old emperor's words was not concealed at all, and Shen Cuobai and Cheng An, who was beside the old emperor, smiled heartily. The old emperor has been in a high position for many years, and he has seen countless people, but it is rare to be able to get such a heartfelt praise from the old emperor!
"The emperor praised it falsely!" Facing the words of the old emperor, even a person understands that the weight in these words is not light!
"Hahaha!" The old emperor got up from his seat with Cheng An's support, "You can play this game of chess for me, I believe in you." It's like believing that you can take the Guards well! ”
"Minister...... We must live up to our mission! Jiang Heng knelt on the ground and bowed to the old emperor.
The old emperor was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Heng's reaction, and walked outside step by step with Cheng An's support, the smile on his face was still undiminished.
"Congratulations to my father."
"Congratulations to the emperor."
It wasn't until the emperor left the gate of the East Palace that Shen Cuobai slowly looked at Jiang Heng on the ground, "What are you still kneeling for?" From today onwards, you don't have to follow Hongu. ”
Jiang Heng still knelt on the ground and refused to get up, facing Shen Cuobai's direction, "No matter where Jiang Heng is or where he is, he will definitely not forget the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Shen Cuobai sat in the position just now, "They all said that this morning dynasty is the biggest winner in this palace, and the father emperor has cut the military power in Wei Qingshan's hands, but the palace has also lost a solid arm. ”
"Master Su is a person, and he will definitely not form a gang. And from your point of view, neither you nor your grandfather will allow you to do anything excessive. You, like Lord Su, have only one master, and that is your father! ”
Jiang Heng pondered Shen Cuobai's words, but he had no way to refute them. Indeed, no matter what angle it is, Jiang Heng will not participate in the war for the heir, even if he is still in the East Palace, by Shen Cuobai's side, he will not be able to help Shen Cuobai with anything.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a dragon among people, so naturally there will be the blessing of God, and nothing will happen!"
Shen Cuobai sighed and looked outside, "You get up, go to the original training ground for a while, if the time is good, the current Master Su should be on the training ground, and you don't have to come to the East Palace in the future!" ”
Jiang Heng got up from the ground, but he didn't leave. Although he has only been by Shen Cuobai's side for a few days, he also admires Shen Cuobai from the heart.
Shen Cuobai shook his head, "You're leaving, and I don't know where the person who came up with you is now." I'm afraid that if you don't look for this palace, you will all have to leave the East Palace. ”
After speaking, Shen Cuobai took the lead and walked outside. Jiang Heng, who was left behind, was a little stunned, the person who came up with him was not Wei Songting? Shen Cuobai meant to go to Wei Songting? Jiang Heng laughed at himself, no wonder Shen Cuobai was absent-minded when he was playing chess just now, it turned out that he had been worried about others in his heart.
Shen Cuobai walked on the path of the Wei Mansion, and no one was alarmed when he came this time. If he really said it, this was the first time he walked into the Wei Mansion openly. Although the decoration of the Wei Mansion is not as good as the imperial palace, it is also interesting. Thinking that Wei Zhaohua had walked slowly here, Shen Cuobai couldn't help but feel that the scenery here was a little more beautiful than the palace.
When he walked outside Wei Song's courtyard under the leadership of his subordinates, he heard Wei Zhaohua's brass bell-like laughter, and there was a smile on his face that could not be concealed. After waving his subordinates back, Shen Cuobai walked in by himself.
When Wei Songting looked at Shen Cuobai who came in from the door, he almost got up. Fortunately, Shen Cuobai stopped Wei Songting's movements in time, and Wei Zhaohua was facing away from the door at this time, and he didn't notice Shen Cuobai's approach at all. Coupled with the fact that he was talking to Su Qinfeng about this, he naturally didn't notice anything wrong with Wei Songting.
Shen Cuobai walked towards Wei Zhaohua step by step, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. Although Wei Shaoyun noticed Shen Cuobai's arrival, he didn't dare to say anything when he saw Wei Songting, and he also knew that the person who came was not a small person, so he didn't dare to make a mistake.
Just as Shen Cuobai's hand was about to put his hand on Wei Zhaohua's shoulder, Su Qinfeng stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Cuobai's wrist, Su Qinfeng shook Shen Cuobai aside with all his strength. Wei Zhaohua naturally noticed Shen Cuobai's arrival and looked behind him, because Su Qinfeng used a lot of strength, and Shen Cuobai was not guarded, so he could only take a few steps back to stabilize his figure.
Seeing this scene, Wei Songting hurriedly walked to Shen Cuobai's side and saluted Shen Cuobai, "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you okay?" This is my cousin, please forgive me for any offense! ”
Hearing the title of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was not only Wei Shaoyun who was surprised, but even Su Qinfeng, who had just done it, stood in place a little embarrassed and saluted Shen Cuobai, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Shen Cuobai straightened the clothes on his body and looked at Wei Zhaohua, only to see Wei Zhaohua looking at him with a funny face, and shook his head helplessly. "Hongu is fine, don't take it personally. It's just that I don't know, which cousin of Songting you are, such courage, you should reuse it! ”
Su Qinfeng changed to kneeling on the ground and performing the standard courtesy of a monarch and a minister to Shen Cuobai. "Villain Su Qinfeng, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Shen Cuobai smiled softly, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Su Qinfeng who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Lord Su's eldest son, hurry up." What are you guys playing? Why don't you count it as one of the main palace? ”
Seeing Shen Cuobai's indifferent appearance, Wei Songting breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, although Shen Cuobai is not a person who cares, no one is allowed to offend! Shen Cuobai walked towards the position where the few people were sitting just now, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he sat in Wei Shaoyun's position just now.
"Sit down, too, and don't be restrained. Hongu has never enjoyed this kind of fun, so you should have fun with Hongu! Shen Cuobai said with a smile on his face, his eyes unconsciously looked at Wei Zhaohua.
The three of them sat down around Shen Cuobai in their position just now, and Wei Shaoyun next to him was not standing or sitting, and he was a little embarrassed to shake back and forth. also looked at Shen Cuobai's body from time to time, but Shen Cuobai seemed to be invisible, and even pushed aside the water cup that Wei Shaoyun had drunk just now.
It seemed that it was extremely embarrassing and made Wei Shaoyun make a decision, and Wei Shaoyun stood behind Shen Cuobai.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtier Wei Shaoyun is here to pour tea for you!" After speaking, Wei Shaoyun stretched out his hand, and even his body fell upside down. Shen Cuobai hurriedly turned around and stood up, Wei Shaoyun didn't expect Shen Cuobai to leave, but his eyes were quick, and just when he was about to lie on the table, he threw the teacup in his hand in the direction of Wei Zhaohua. 、
The change happened too suddenly, Shen Cuobai obviously didn't expect Wei Shaoyun to make such a move, but the others present didn't expect Wei Shaoyun's skills and reaction to be so fast.
"Smack!" With a bang, the cup was blocked by Su Qinfeng next to Wei Zhaohua and hit the wall next to it, and when it fell to the ground, it had already shattered into pieces. Su Qinfeng looked at the debris on the ground, and his eyes flickered a little. If this fell on Wei Zhaohua's face......
Youyou and Wei Songting hurriedly stepped forward to check if Wei Zhaohua was injured, and only then did they relax when they saw Wei Zhaohua shaking his head.
Looking back at Wei Shaoyun on the table, he was full of tea, because he deliberately came to see Su Qinfeng, so he was dressed a little revealing, and his clothes were wet, and it was difficult to hide his good figure. But at this moment, no one admired Wei Shaoyun's figure at all, but they were all a little angry.
Wei Shaoyun got up from the table, her face flushed with shame, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest, eager to find a hole in the ground to get into.
