The small attic upstairs is beyond Yin Qingyun's imagination, all of them are built in imitation of the Du structure of the previous dynasty, even the mallet fan is carved out of yellow rosewood with the hollow pattern of the spring peony peony and peony competing to bloom, the furnishings in the house are not mentioned for the time being, just the white jade chessboard on the low table placed by the window, it is already worth a thousand gold, and even the nobles in the palace do not have.

There are a total of three pairs of chess in Da Zhou, and His Majesty has a pair of private collections, and he has rewarded Yin Qingyun with a pair, but he didn't think that this last pair was here in Xiao Zhi.

"I've seen the Three Princes."

Yin Qingyun stepped into the side pavilion, and saw Xiao Zhi sitting by the window at a glance, her soft and tactful voice like a yellow bird was extremely pleasing, and the face of the frost and snow was slightly red, which was even more charming and charming. The apricot eyes are clear and soft, and the smile is sincere and dignified.

Xiao Zhi's gaze moved towards her, the left hand that tapped lightly on the table paused, his thumb moved, and his heart was flooded, far less calm than the calm and waveless on his face.

"Excuse me." Xiao Zhi's voice was slightly cold, and his eyes fell on Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan took away the teacup he had drunk on the table before, beckoned Yin Qingyun to sit down, and then said to Xiao Zhi: "The third brother's eyes are like eating me, I saw that Qingyun didn't like to drink and have fun with them, so I brought her up." Didn't I lose a game of chess to you before, but I knew that Qingyun's chess skills were excellent, so let her help me find a field. ”

Xiao Zhi pulled the corners of his mouth slightly mockingly.

Xiao Huan didn't know if he was laughing at his own approach or looking down on Yin Qingyun, and suddenly a wave of shame rose in his eyes, and he said without choosing a word: "Third brother, what do you mean by this?" If I'm annoyed by you, I'll just leave, Qingyun is still here, what kind of temper do you have with her? ”

At this moment, Chang Fu's feet that were about to step into the house paused when he heard the sound, hooked his head and thought about it, then walked away with the dust in his hand.

It is common for the two princes to talk to each other, and the great five princes swore that they would never go to the door of the third prince's mansion again, and they went there every other day. But after all, the two of them were on fire, and he still didn't bother them with this little thing.

Yin Qingyun's face was white and delicate, standing in place with her head slightly down, her expression did not change much, but her cool eyes still crossed a trace of unnaturalness.

Xiao Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Huan, the corners of his mouth raised a shallow arc, and his voice was a little cold, "When did I lose my temper, you don't have to scare other girls." ”

Xiao Huan was confused when he heard this, and his eyes turned around Yin Qingyun's body several times without realizing anything.

On the contrary, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Yin Qingyun's back, and without a trace, he pulled down his wide sleeves to cover the hands that were clenched due to nervousness, and the wetness of his palms touched the handkerchief a little bit, and he only felt a little trembling all over his body. When facing Cui Chengyu, who is very good at figuring out people's minds, she is not as overwhelmed as she is now, Xiao Zhi's eyes seem to have magic power, as if she can see through her mind with a light glance.

Xiao Zhi's face was unwavering, and he raised his hand to put away the chess pieces that the little guy had put into the chess cup, and twisted one or two pieces and put them in his hand to play.

Xiao Huan thought that he really scared Yin Qingyun, so he gently pulled her to sit down at the table.

Yin Qingyun hesitated: "The status of the courtier is humble, so don't sit with the two princes." So saying, she turned and stood straight by the window.

Xiao Huan said: "We grew up together, why did you ever care about such a false courtesy?" Besides, when you are over the ceremony, you will marry the third brother and be my sister-in-law, what are we doing as a family. ”

Except for Xiao Huan who didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing, Xiao Zhi and Yin Qingyun, who were sitting or standing, were all stunned, and the anger in the room suddenly became subtle. Yin Qingyun felt that the astringency in her throat and eyes floated again, and she coughed several times before she felt better.

Qinglan stepped forward and asked, "Girl, do you want the slave to find some sweet soup to moisten your throat?" ”

Yin Qingyun shook her head, this mirror lake is less than half an hour away from the market, so don't toss, she just coughs.

Xiao Huan's face was full of worry, "Look at my mouth...... Qingyun, are you angry......"

Yin Qingyun hummed obediently, looked at Xiao Huan's eyes with some self-reproach, and only spoke softly after a long time, and said, "The fifth prince is too worried, Qingyun is not a person who holds grudges." ”

Xiao Huan is a good person, even if he did many wrong things later, he was in a high position and couldn't help himself, so she wouldn't hold a grudge against him. But his mother is a very ruthless woman, and she wants to put Xiao Zhi to death several times. In this life, she wants to help Xiao Zhi, even if it is only a small amount, she can feel a little more at ease.

Xiao Zhi hid one hand under his sleeve and clenched it tightly, and the other hand was casually placed on the table and gently buckled, his deep eyes wandered around the two people opposite, and interrupted: "Didn't you say that you want to play chess, the time in this hall is very precious, and Yunlou has already sent someone to urge it many times." ”

Who are you two doing here to show your friendship for?

The two jade chess pieces twisted and played in Xiao Zhi's hand, one black and one white, flexibly rotated between him. He pushed the two chess pieces to the opposite side, his sharp eyes crossed Yin Qingyun's body, his eyes were sharp, and his long fingers twisted Moyu's chess pieces lightly on the chessboard.

Yin Qingyun couldn't figure out what Xiao Zhi meant, she concentrated slightly, her eyes flowed quietly, and Shi Shiran sat opposite Xiao Zhi. Xiao Huan moved a soft stool and sat next to him to watch the chess battle.

At first, Yin Qingyun still felt that she was at ease, and wanted to say how Xiao Zhi could drag on playing chess with such a deep and cold man, but later, she was very wrong.

Xiao Zhi's eyes have been falling on Yin Qingyun's white and tender fingertips pinching the chess pieces, the white and delicate fingertips are slightly pale pink, like the most tender lotus tips in the lotus pond in summer, and the jade bracelet on the wrist is glowing with a blue and white glow, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark pavilion.

Yin Qingyun pinched the chess pieces and hesitated a little, her fingers rubbed the white chess surface, her fingertips were a little red, Xiao Zhi had already killed half of her country, and now she is a dead end if she falls in this chess, and she will not fall...... It's ugly again.

This is the first time she has played chess with Xiao Zhi, and she never knew that a person like him who is so vigorous and resolute can play chess very patiently, scheming in all ways, like a gray cat preying on young mice, first tired of playing, let it jump around with a limp, and then wave its sharp claws when it can't move.

Yin Qingyun threw the hot chess pieces in her hand back into the cup, rubbed her painful forehead, and suddenly her right eyelid jumped twice, very happy.

Xiao Huan poured out the cold water that was already cold in front of Yin Qingyun, and handed it over with a new cup of hot tea.

Yin Qingyun stared, looking at the cup of tea for a long time, and did not reach out to take it. Xiao Huan shrank his hand from the teacup, "Then, wait for me to feed you." ”

Yin Qingyun was silent for a while, and was about to speak, when Xiao Zhi on the opposite side looked at him with an inch-inch-inch-looking gaze.
