Ning Fei followed the little maid quietly around the complicated staircase on the second floor and stopped in front of a room. The little maid knocked on the door, and only when she received an answer did she push the door open. She blessed her body and said with a smile: "Girl, Your Highness is waiting for you inside." ”

"I'm tired."

Ning Fei bowed gently and gently, and walked in.

The door closed behind him, and Ning Fei's steps paused, and then he slowly walked forward. When she walked into the inner room, she saw that the wooden window was wide open, and the boy in brocade was leaning idly on the couch, and there were four or five women on his side who were pinching his shoulders and rubbing his legs, and there was a woman with fragrant shoulders who was feeding a grape to the boy's mouth.

The house is full of fragrance.

Ning Fei didn't see it, but his expression was stunned, he bowed lightly, and said softly: "I've seen the Sixth Highness." ”

"Miss Ning." When Shen Xian, the sixth prince, heard this, he lazily opened his eyes and glanced at Ning Fei, who was standing quietly on the side, and laughed lowly. He straightened up, waved his hand, and the girls around him pulled up their clothes, got up respectfully, and retreated.

There were only two people left in the room.

The sixth prince looked at her for a long time and smiled slightly: "Does Miss Ning know why I invited you here?" ”

She shook her head: "Ning Fei doesn't know. ”

Shen Xian let out an "ah" and sat up straight in distress, his eyes a little fluttering. He coughed lightly: "I just accidentally saw you and Gu Fourth Girl, you two don't know what to say, Miss Ning looks a little....wronged?" ”

He pondered the words for a moment and said, "The fourth young lady of the Gu family is now back in the General's Mansion, and General An is also the confidant of his father. If you have any conflicts, you may wish to tell me about them. lest Miss Gu Si be mindful and let General An know that General An feels sorry for this granddaughter, and must have no heart to do things for my father. ”

Shen Xian pinched the truth, but Yu Guang saw that Ning Fei didn't have the slightest emotion.

"It's just a little noise at the daughter's house, and it will be fine after a while." Ning Fei felt his gaze and spoke softly. After a pause, she raised her head again, revealing a faint smile, "Today is Qingqing's banquet, why is His Highness here alone, but he doesn't go to see Qingqing?" ”

Shen Xian, the sixth prince, is merry by nature, does not like political calculations, and is also uninterested in the throne, and is the most uncertain. The Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with him, but fortunately, the other princes were angry, so he simply let him mess around, but unfortunately this prince was the most close to Shen Huai, the king of Xiao, but this was only Shen Xian's unilateral opinion.

Some time ago, he noticed that his stubborn imperial uncle seemed to be interested in the Gu family girl, and he intended to observe, but he really taught him to find some terrible clues. Shen Xian was not stupid enough to ask Shen Huai directly, and decided to attack the person next to Gu Mingxiu on the side.

It was a pure coincidence that I came to Yilan Garden today, and it was also a coincidence that I met Ning Fei and Gu Mingxiu.

Shen Xian simply invited Ning Fei over by chance, ready to "inquire" one or two. However, before he could say a word, he heard the other party change the topic.

As soon as the word "Qingqing" came out, Shen Xian glared: "Who wants to meet that stinky tempered person!" If I had known she was here today, I wouldn't have come here! He waved his hand, losing his interest, and said, "That's it, it's not interesting." ”

Ning Fei looked at him quietly for a long time: "Your Highness....Are you still holding a grudge against Qingqing?" She hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Back then... That incident—"

"You ......" Shen Xian suddenly interrupted her, the frivolity in her eyes faded away, with a little displeasure.

"Your Highness probably doesn't remember me," Ning Fei looked directly into his gaze and said softly, "Your Highness visited the Shen family when he met Qingqing, and I met His Highness with Qingqing at that time. I'm close friends with Qingqing, and I know a little bit about her. ”

Seeing that Shen Xian was silent, Ning Fei Shi Shi Ran saluted: "Your Highness, it was not Qingqing's fault that incident back then....the situation was chaotic at that time, not that Qingqing deliberately misunderstood His Highness.....

Shen Xian sneered: "Heh." If this king needs to borrow strength, where can he use a small governor? Shen Qingqing doesn't know what to do, you don't see it like this? ”

Ning Fei was silent.

"Go down." Shen Xian opened his mouth coldly.

Hearing this, Ning Fei raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Xian, and sighed helplessly in his heart. She raised her hand and saluted, and quietly withdrew. Closing the door, unable to hear a sound inside, Ning Fei covered his forehead.

She sighed lightly: "Qingqing, some things always need to be done by yourself...."

The girl in white lost her emotions, walked in a random direction and walked slowly.

"It's good that you didn't come alone today." Shen Qingqing instructed the maid to go down and prepare some snacks, sat down at the table, frowned, and said, "I thought Gu Changge should be more interesting and not come to provoke you." Why is it daylight, I can't hold my breath like this, I think I should be forced by you to be anxious. ”

Gu Mingxiu said: "I said something, it should have stimulated her." Her tone was a little cold, "After all, the people who are dying are her brother and mother." ”

An Ting didn't hear the coldness in her words, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes: "No, embroidery!" You can't be soft-hearted! She clenched her fists and said indignantly, "Do you think about how many excesses they have done to you before?!" They deserve it! ”

Raising his eyes and glancing at her, Gu Mingxiu didn't bother to explain that he was not soft-hearted, but said lightly: "It's a cycle of cause and effect, and it's just a self-retribution, where can you get the mercy of others." ”

Her eyes fell on the table, and the smile on her lips was faint: "Besides, I have never been a good person. ”

Gu Mingxiu never felt that he was a good person. In this life, she came for revenge, but anyone who harmed them in the previous life, whether she followed the trend or not, she would not let go of one.

There was a bit of chill in the bottom of his eyes, faint, without a trace of temperature.

Shen Qingqing frowned and glanced at her more. She pondered for a moment, glanced at An Ting again, and said in a deep voice, "I came today to discuss with you. ”

She originally wanted to talk about Ning Fei, but An Ting was present, so she was a little uncomfortable, so she simply changed the topic and talked about another thing.

Shen Qingqing said: "My father and my mother have plans to marry me, and today I found several people to ask me what I think." She smiled slightly, her eyes were a little bright, "I've negotiated with them, and I'll find a husband by myself." ”

Gu Mingxiu's expression did not change, and his eyes were slightly dark.

The rules of the boudoir of the General's Mansion are not as many as others, but there is no reason to choose a husband by himself. An Ting couldn't help but look at Shen Qingqing, and said in surprise: "You, you want to choose your own husband?" She pondered the contents of the notebook for a while, and hesitated, "Hydrangea recruits?" Or is it a martial arts competition? ”

Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "That's the content in the book, you can't use it on her." ”

"Exactly." Shen Qingqing smiled and glanced back at Gu Mingxiu, her fingers slightly bent on the table and knocked, "I'm going to set up a game in Yilan Garden, put on sixteen games of chess, and invite someone to play chess." If so, then I will marry him, whether his family is rich or poor, whether he is a ruler or a citizen. ”

Gu Mingxiu glanced at her calmly and asked, "Who gave you the idea?" ”

"It was my own idea." Shen Qingqing glanced at her disapprovingly, "Isn't it because you dislike it?" Think I'm too hasty? ”

She frowned and shook her head: "Fei'er also said that I was very sloppy and didn't approve of me doing this, so you didn't want to." She looked at Gu Mingxiu and said, "I have already laid out the sixteenth round, I have been studying it for a long time, maybe you can't solve it." ”

Gu Liyi listened to it for a long time, and couldn't help but speak at this moment: "I also don't think it's good to do this." You don't know what kind of person that person is, if so... If you're someone who doesn't deserve your life, aren't you—"

"Daddy will naturally send someone to find out the details of the other party." Shen Qingqing looked at Gu Liyi, who was a little anxious, with a smile, "Besides, if you lose, you lose, and you are naturally willing to gamble and lose." ”

Gu Mingxiu glanced at the distance silently: "Oh? Not necessarily. ”

Shen Qingqing immediately called someone to get the chess game, and said with a smile: "Thinking about it this way, I haven't played a game with you for a long time, and today is the right opportunity, let's give it a try." ”

Nodding casually, Gu Mingxiu said: "Why do you have to play chess so troublesomely, why don't you invite someone to play chess." If you win, it's the same thing. ”

An Ting nodded: "I also think that it is so troublesome to play chess." If you play chess with them, won't you have to do it? ”

Shen Qingqing shook his head: "How can you stay in such a place, your two cousins are the same?" If I sit there all day, won't I have time to do other things, and now in the whole of Yangzhou, if anyone dares to play chess, but on the chess game, they can push but they will not lose face. ”

"It's hard for you to still wonder if others will lose face."

With a little helplessness in his chuckle, Ning Fei walked over from the side, gestured to a few people, and smiled slightly: "If you are really so considerate, why don't you think about whether this method is reliable or not, in case... If no one can solve your chess game, will you never marry for the rest of your life? ”

Shen Qingqing smiled and watched her sit down, and didn't care: "It's okay, I have never cared about the eyes of others, and the most important thing is to live happily." ”

Hearing this, An Ting slapped the table and agreed: "That's the reason!" My grandfather used to say that the most important thing in being a man is to live a bright and upright life, and if you can't make an unhappy life for the sake of others' nonsense, that's the stupid thing that a stupid person does! ”

"Exactly." Shen Qingqing bowed his head.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The little maid on the side brought the chessboard, Shen Qingqing looked at Gu Mingxiu, and said with a smile: "Then let's compare the previous one, there are three witnesses in this room, if you lose, then you have to meet my request." ”

"Not impossible." Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
