After listening to Shangguan Youhao's explanation, Liu Yi also understood why Rong Meiren would target Huo Chengjun like this, although this Rong Beauty was a little different, but after his own warning that day, he was a lot more restrained, and after chatting with Shangguan Youhao for a few words, he went to Jiaofang Palace, as long as he thought about the mother and son who were still waiting for his return, the happiness on his face was everywhere, and Jiaofang Hall seemed to be the only place in this palace, and it was the existence of a home.

Huo Chengjun left Huo Mansion and arrived at Wei Mansion, but Wei Xian greeted him in front of the door with a smile, "I thought you promised to coax me that day, but I didn't expect to really come, enter the mansion quickly." Wei Xian knew she would come, but she didn't know how many days later.

After entering the mansion, Wei Xian took Huo Chengjun to sit down next to a chessboard, "Would my niece be willing to accompany the old man to play a game of chess?" Wei Xian seemed amiable, and he couldn't see the stubbornness when he was arguing with Liu Yi, and what he was looking at was just a kind old man.

"If Wei Lao doesn't think Chengjun is stupid, he is willing." Looking at the chessboard in front of her, Huo Chengjun also had the heart to move, how could she not agree, but she also knew that her little chess skills would not be enough in front of Wei Xian, who had passed through the heavens and latitudes.

"Okay, Baizi first, you go first, don't say that my old man bullied you little girl." Wei Xian handed over Baizi to Huo Chengjun very graciously.

Huo Chengjun is not hypocritical, after saying thank you, he picked up the child and fell, there are only two people left in the chess room, in the incense burner, the incense is rising, refreshing, and the people outside are guarding, so as not to disturb the people who are playing, except for the sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard in the room, there is no sound next to it.

For half an hour, the winner was still not decided, but obviously Huo Chengjun was at a disadvantage, not a stick of incense, as the last white son in Huo Chengjun's hand fell on the chessboard, the winner was a loser, looking at the white child who had been deeply trapped in the chessboard, Huo Chengjun only said, "Wei Lao let Chengjun have three sons, and Chengjun still lost." Huo Chengjun lost calmly, before the beginning of the tea, Huo Chengjun knew that he would lose this game of chess, if it wasn't for Wei Xian's concession, she didn't know how to go in this game?

"It's a person who can afford to lose, but if you lose this chess game, you can come again, the world is not like this chess game, there is a second time if you lose, you know that you have no regrets, as long as you fall, you know that you are losing, or you have to continue." Wei Xian also knew that Huo Chengjun would definitely lose to himself, otherwise he would have lived in vain for so many years, how could he be planted in the hands of a little girl, but it was not easy for Huo Chengjun to hold on for so long, and it could be seen that she was not willing to admit defeat at the beginning, which was somewhat similar to herself.

Ignorant, Huo Chengjun didn't know what Wei Xian was referring to, "Chengjun doesn't know, can you make it clearer?" Frowning tightly, after thinking about it for a few times, it was still not clear what Wei Xian meant, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard of the large white man, and he still couldn't explore the meaning of Wei Xian's words.

"Child, look at the seventeen lines of this chessboard, criss-crossed, and draw so many intersections, and before you fall, you need to take care of where you fall, but also have to think about where the other party will fall, you take this step, how will he go, but just this game, you may be able to see where the old man wants to go?" Wei Xian also shifted his gaze to the chessboard, and as he spoke, he cleaned up the chess pieces that were still on the chessboard.

"I wouldn't have expected that." Huo Chengjun can give an answer to this question, if he can guess where the other party falls from time to time, he will not lose the game.

"This chess game is a game, the bet is whether you can guess what the other party thinks, but the chess game has not much to think about, let alone the things of this world, and the hearts of the people?" Wei Xian's words were meaningful, and he also understood that maybe Huo Chengjun didn't understand a lot, but he just didn't want to see this kid get lost in speculation in the end.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, Cheng Jun understands, what is Wei Lao referring to?" Huo Chengjun believed that Wei Xian must have something to say, so he let himself come and said these strange words, how could it be just a momentary emotion.

Wei Xian looked up at Huo Chengjun with a blank face, he was not as good as Xiahou Sheng, "Child, places such as the harem are more complicated than this chess game, since ancient times, the heart of the monarch is unpredictable, Your Majesty is not Emperor Zhao, he is good at the people, and his mind must be more complicated than Emperor Zhao, not something you can provoke, nor can the Huo family provoke." If it were someone else, Wei Xian wouldn't say this, but Huo Chengjun Wei Xian reminded him.

"It turns out that this is the case, don't worry, Cheng Jun has long lost that mind." Huo Chengjun didn't care, thinking that as long as he didn't enter the palace, he wouldn't have too much intersection with Liu Yi, let him be complicated, no matter how unpredictable Jun's heart was, all of this was also related to himself, but how could the world be as she expected, just like this chess game changed, before the other party fell, you didn't know where to go next.

"Okay, accompany the old man for the next game, this time the old man won't let you have three sons." Wei Xian stroked his white beard, with a little relief on his face, he thought that he had not seen the wrong person, Huo Chengjun also smiled brightly, but this time he let Wei Xian go first, and the result was predictable, ending with Huo Chengjun's defeat.

Huo Chengjun and Wei Xian played chess behind closed doors, they had long forgotten the time, it was afternoon in an instant, Wei Xian was already old, and playing chess was a very brain-consuming thing, after a few games, this summer afternoon, the warm wind blew through the gap in the window, and he was even more sleepy, and Huo Chengjun took advantage of this to leave.

I thought that after coming out of the Wei Mansion, I would go back to the house to rest for a while, and the warm breeze was indeed easy to make people want to sleep, but when the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, I saw the pond full of lotus flowers, and the green leaves were repeated, and I suddenly had the spirit, and ordered someone to stop the sedan chair and lift the curtain out.

"Miss, we also have a lotus pond in our house, and the sun is poisoning at this time, and Mo Re is broken." Yunping looked at Huo Chengjun who was rushing towards the pond, and couldn't help but dissuade him, although there are many flowers in this pond, he can see that there is no one to take care of them, and they are not as neat and dazzling as the flowers that are carefully cared for in the house.

Huo Chengjun didn't think so, standing by the pool, the tender pink clothes and the red flowers in the pool reflected each other, the green lotus leaves swayed with the wind and the remaining water droplets, which dried up after a while, standing by the pool for a while, Huo Chengjun looked up at the dazzling sunlight, squinted his eyes, but still stabbed a pool of tears, bowed his head and waited for the halo in front of him to disappear, and said, "Go home."

Sitting in the sedan chair, Huo Chengjun lifted the curtain, glanced at the lotus pond, closed the curtain, closed his eyes and followed the sedan chair.

The candlelight in the first room of the Yunguang Hall shone all night, but she still didn't wait for Liu Ai's summons, and the palace maid blew out the flickering light, "Beauty, rest for a while." ”

"Your Majesty is in the Jiaofang Hall again, and he is really a special pet of the Jiaofang." The unwillingness and anger revealed in his eyes were no longer concealed at all, "Gan Ning, we went to the Changxin Palace to greet the Empress Dowager, and then went to the Jiaofang Hall to greet the Empress Dowager." ”

A few words scared Gan Ning, she had learned a lesson from Liu Ai, and after yesterday's incident with Huo Chengjun, she didn't dare to make more trouble, and now she was afraid that Rong Meiren would cause something wrong, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to go with her.

In the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace, Rong Meiren did not dare to make a mistake, no matter what, Shangguan Youhao is the one who is in charge of the harem, and Gan Ning's worries are also superfluous, Rong Meiren knows that she was reckless yesterday, and specially went to Shangguan Youhao to inquire about the wind, Shangguan Youhao said that Liu was ill yesterday, and she knew the truth of the matter, but she pretended to be confused, and only said, "Chengjun has returned yesterday, Rong Meiren thinks, what do she want to say to the mourning family?" The gentle words and faint smile gave Rong Meiren the meaning of whether it was true or false, and she didn't dare to ask more, at least Shangguan Youhao didn't say it thoroughly at this time, which means that she won't find herself to settle this account.

Shangguan Youhao didn't want to be angry for Huo Chengjun, but she didn't want such things to make a storm in the city, and in the end, Liu Ying had promised to punish this Rong beauty, but Chengjun's reputation, reputation is very important to a woman Shangguan Youhao is very clear, so she chooses to calm things down.

Jiaofang Palace, Xu Pingjun is dressed in simple clothes, the needle and thread in his hands shuttle, embroidered on the cuffs of the placket with delicate moire, small clothes, at a glance, you can know that it is embroidered for Liu Zheng, Xu Pingjun's face also has a mother's peaceful smile, every stitch and thread is a mother's love.

"I've seen the queen's mother, the queen's mother is so interested, this is probably for the prince, but the queen, you don't know, I think it's just a village woman, it's too damaging to the royal face." Rong Meiren suddenly covered her mouth, looking panicked, "It's the concubine who has lost her words, Your Majesty only said that your wife can't be abandoned when she is poor, how can she dislike the queen." The smug look was as if the two were reversed.

Xu Pingjun put down the needle and thread in his hand, folded the clothes in his hand, and got up slowly, "Your Majesty is thrifty, and our harem should be like this, Rong Meiren said, isn't it?" When Xu Pingjun asked, Rong Meiren was speechless.

"The queen's mother has learned a lesson, no wonder Your Majesty loves the queen so much, it seems that the harem sisters should be like the queen, so that Your Majesty can look at each other." Rong Meiren was unconvinced, but she had nothing to say, and there was no sourness in her words.

Xu Pingjun is still smiling, she is just a person who thinks about her husband, she only cares about being by Liu Ai's side, she has never thought about the battles in the harem, so Xu Pingjun did not respond too much to Rong Meiren's provocation, she believes that as long as she doesn't care about these, the harem is naturally peaceful, everyone fights, and when will she fight, what she should do is to accompany Liu Ai and take care of her children.

And in the deep palace, such a small wish seems so precious, in the blink of an eye, a year of extreme heat has passed, summer to autumn, osmanthus diffuses a faint fragrance, garden paths, are all this refreshing fragrance of flowers, when sleepiness hits, this fragrance that comes with the wind, but it is refreshing, the days are also in this uneventful, each of them has nothing to do, Huo Chengjun occasionally entered the palace, accompanied Shangguan Youhao and Xu Pingjun to chat and sit, but did not know that all this was remembered by people with hearts.
