Chapter 104: Holding Black

Black first, this is the rule in Go.

Li Yuankang gently pulled his sleeves and put the white on the chessboard.

"You seem to have gotten quieter lately," Li Yuankang said casually.

"Don't you think this tea tastes good?" Zhu Ajiao didn't answer Li Yuankang's words, and after playing the second chess piece, she picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

The corners of Li Yuankang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Zhu Ajiao is sometimes like this, immersed in her own thoughts, Li Yuankang likes Zhu Ajiao like this very much, independent enough and quiet as water.

"I heard that Gu Nanxiang committed suicide in his cell."

After Li Yuankang finished speaking, he paused.

The air all around seemed to have stagnated.

As expected, Zhu Ajiao's face did not change much, but the chess pieces in her hand did not change for a long time.

"I lost, I won't play chess today, let's make an appointment another day." A wry smile appeared on Zhu Ajiao's face, and then she took the chess pieces in her hand back to her side.

"I heard that there is a drama troupe in the palace recently, do you want me to listen to the drama with you?" Li Yuankang knew that Zhu Ajiao must be in a bad mood, so he thought about making Zhu Ajiao happier.

Zhu Ajiao originally didn't like to listen to dramas, and she had never heard of it, but when she heard Li Yuankang say this, she was a little moved.

"Okay, then I'll go change my clothes, you wait for me." After that, Zhu Ajiao turned around and went into the house, Li Yuankang stayed at the door, and the tea on the table was still faintly fragrant.

The tea leaves in the tea bowl are suspended in the tea soup like a leaf.

Li Yuankang picked up the teacup and sniffed it closely.

It's the familiar taste, this is a method that Li Yuankang once taught Zhu Ajiao to make tea.

Wash the tea leaves with warm water first, and then brew the tea with hot water.

In this way, the astringency of the tea will be reduced and the aroma will be stronger.

It didn't take long for Zhu Ajiao to push the door open.

"Alright, let's go."

Li Yuankang looked up and saw that Zhu Ajiao was wearing an orange coat and a hosta on her head.

"You're really special in this dress. I've never seen you through. Li Yuankang said with a smile.

"I still have a lot of clothes, you can't have seen them all." Zhu Ajiao smiled and stepped down the steps.

This dress was made by Zhu Ajiao herself, and Zhu Ajiao rarely wears it on weekdays.

At this moment, Zhu Ajiao feels that this dress can better reflect her mood.

Following Li Yuankang around several gardens, a classical opera pavilion appeared in front of the two.

"It's already started, and I've got a place in front." Li Yuankang smiled and led Zhu Ajiao to the best position.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is the tea and snacks you want." The subordinates sent the things over as soon as possible.

It's all something Zhu Ajiao likes.

"This first play, the tanuki for the prince." Li Yuankang looked at the name of the play card and explained to Zhu Ajiao.

"This story is a very poignant emotional story, and when I watched it for the first time, I was moved and wanted to cry." Saying that, Li Yuankang also deliberately made a gesture that wanted to cry.

"It's not so exaggerated," Zhu Ajiao was a little itchy by Li Yuankang, and couldn't help but look at the stage a few more times.

I saw a couple of men and women standing on the stage, wearing gorgeous costumes and wearing particularly exaggerated hair accessories on their heads.

"I know what I know." A hurried gong sounded. The people on the stage began to walk.

Li Yuankang pretended to look seriously, but glanced at Zhu Ajiao with his eyes, and found that Zhu Ajiao was staring at the stage with her eyes wide open, and the expression on her face was also very gentle.

It seems that Zhu Ajiao's emotions have been attracted on the stage.

Although there is no guarantee that Zhu Ajiao will laugh, it can at least make Zhu Ajiao's mood less negative.

Li Yuankang comfortably took a melon seed and bit it, drinking tea while watching the play.

"Good!" As the people on the stage rolled out a thrilling action.

The audience immediately applauded.

"Awesome!" Zhu Ajiao couldn't help but slap the table, eager to stand up.

This startled Li Yuankang.

But soon, Li Yuankang smiled and handed Zhu Ajiao a handful of melon seeds.

"Look, you're excited, sit down."

Zhu Ajiao realized that she was a little out of shape at this time, and quickly sat down quietly.

After this, Zhu Ajiao's mood became much calmer.

Although there are still a lot of fierce conflicts on stage.

But Zhu Ajiao and Li Yuankang beside her watched it quietly.

"Actually, you don't have to be sad." Li Yuankang said slowly. "Gu Nanxiang's ending has nothing to do with you."

Li Yuankang had long realized that Zhu Ajiao was a little remorseful because of Gu Nanxiang's matter.

But this is already the case, Li Yuankang still hopes that Zhu Ajiao can look forward.

At this time, Zhu Ajiao also realized that Li Yuankang was enlightening herself.

"Thank you, I'm much better." Zhu Ajiao picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"Well, this tea has an astringent taste." Zhu Ajiao said with a slight frown.

Get out of the stage. It's getting late.

The scent of flowers in the garden has become even more intense.

"If you don't want to sleep yet, I can walk with you again." Li Yuankang looked ahead and said casually.

"Then let's go sit by the lake." Zhu Ajiao thought of the familiar lake, and suddenly had an impulse in her heart.

At night, the lake was calm, and the trees around the lake were so black that they seemed to be about to fall.

Zhu Ajiao sat in the same position she had done before.

Li Yuankang sat next to Zhu Ajiao.

The wind by the lake was blowing quietly, stirring Zhu Ajiao's hair.

It seems like a fairy is helping Zhu Ajiao comb her hair.

Suddenly, Zhu Ajiao saw a figure moving on the shore not far away.

"Li Yuankang, look, what is that?" Zhu Ajiao nervously pointed not far away and asked.

Following Zhu Ajiao's finger, Li Yuankang also saw that there was a figure slowly approaching the lake.

It looked like the man wanted to go to the middle of the lake.

"Who are you? What are you doing? Li Yuankang shouted loudly at the figure. As soon as the words fell, the figure accelerated like crazy and ran towards the center of the lake, looking like a short-sighted person.

That's a big deal. Li Yuankang kicked under his feet and flew over.

At the moment when the figure was about to be submerged by the lake, Li Yuankang stretched out his hand and lifted the person out of the water, straight out like fishing.

Zhu Ajiao also rushed over as soon as possible, and it wasn't until she took a closer look that she found that this person was Li Yunze.

Moreover, Li Yunze's body still has a very strong smell of wine.

"Li Yunze, what are you doing here!" Li Yuankang couldn't get angry, and gave Li Yunze a slap in the face.

But Li Yunze didn't react at all, like a pile of mud.
