More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather has slowly cooled down.

The afternoon breeze was cool, Qin Ran lay in the shade of the tree, squinting his eyes slightly. The season was just right, tepid and dry, and she exhaled comfortably.

During this time, she was a little physically and mentally exhausted from dealing with the emperor, although she would not lose her temper in front of the emperor now, but she often felt like a thorn in her heart, uncomfortable and tight.

Qin Ran sighed, took the book on the table, and flipped it up carelessly. There was no one beside her, only the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, and the chaotic sound of Qin Ran's flipping books.

"A gentleman of words, warm as jade."

Qin Ran paused, she quietly looked at the poem on the page, and actually read it out loud.

A man of unparalleled elegance suddenly popped up in her mind, and then, smiled at her elegantly.

Qin Ran hugged the book, and his face turned red as soon as he "Teng".

"Miss, Prince Mingzhou is here."

Xun Lu's voice interjected coldly, causing Qin Ran to be embarrassed. She coughed, nodded, and stood up.

She pretended to be fine, and said calmly: "Okay." ”

Wisteria is planted all over the courtyard, and it looks like a purple sea, and the leaves are also green.

The breeze blew the corners of Gu Yan's clothes, and the man sat under the wisteria tree and drank tea slowly. He heard the sound of footsteps, turned his head and saw Shi Qin Ran, and immediately smiled gently.

"Here we are."

Qin Ran walked up to Gu Yan and sat down, and asked.

"Why did you come out and sit today?"

Gu Yan didn't answer, and raised his hand to signal the chess game that had been set up in front of him. The chess game was criss-crossed, Qin Ran looked at it intently, but found that even if she was a layman, this chess game was full of dangers.

"This chess game is not easy to solve." Qin Ran shook his head.

Gu Yan smiled and put down the white porcelain cup in his hand, "You have really grown, that's right, this chess game is really difficult to solve." ”

"This chessboard is full of fog, and it needs to be cleared before it can be unraveled."

Qin Ran nodded as if she didn't understand, she looked at Gu Yan, and only felt that Gu Yan's words meant something. But who it was referring to, she couldn't guess.

Gu Yan looked at Qin Ran's confused appearance, but he didn't care. He believed that Qin Ran would understand in time.

The petals of the wisteria were blown off by the wind, and they just landed on the stone table, and the white jade chessboard dotted with purple leaves, which was very beautiful.

Qin Ran held his chin and stared intently at Gu Yan in front of him. The latter was fiddling with the chessboard, as if he hadn't noticed.

"Sir, shall we learn to play chess today?" Qin Ran asked.

Qin Ran is not good at reading, but he is still quite interested in playing chess. Playing chess is similar to marching and arranging, the chessboard is like a battlefield, and the slightest mistake can be a complete loss.

"Hmm." Gu Yan bowed slightly.

Qin Ran listened carefully, and time flew by. After Gu Yan finished speaking, he began to clean up the chessboard, Qin Ran watched him clean up, suddenly remembered the two lines of poetry he had read before, and spoke.

"Sir, before you came, I recited the Book of Songs, and there is a sentence in it: Words and words are gentlemen, and they are as warm as jade. The student also wondered what kind of demeanor it would be to deserve such a sentence. Now it seems that Mr. and gentleman are like jade, and they really deserve it. ”

It's just that there are two more sentences below, but I can't really remember them. Sir is so talented, why not tell the students? Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile.

Gu Yan paused, was silent for a while, a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the breeze blew through the clumps of wisteria petals on the treetops, sparsely scattered, scattered on his long hair and moon-white clothes, like a dream that he didn't want to wake up.

He looked at Qin Ran who was smiling in front of him, and his heart couldn't stop beating.

He heard his own voice in the long rain of flowers, ethereal and gentle.

"In its board house, mess with my heart."

Qin Ran read it a few times in a low voice, and the verses lingered between his lips and teeth.

She raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan, who was smiling lightly at her, and suddenly had the idea of teasing.

She turned around slightly, and said with a wicked smile: "Now that I see Mr., I understand what it is like to be a gentleman like a jade." ”

Gu Yan's hand to arrange the chessboard paused slightly, and at this moment, the wisteria petals just fell on his hand.

He picked up the petals, placed them gently on the table, and whispered.

"Don't be smiling." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Qin Ran took in Gu Yan's little expression, and she laughed, her eyelashes curled.

When Gu Yan put away the chessboard, he looked at Qin Ran, holding his head with one hand and fiddling with the wisteria petals scattered on the table with the other.

Then, his gaze was attracted by the cocoon on Qin Ran's hand, and he frowned slightly and asked.

"It hurts, doesn't it?"

Qin Ran was asked coldly, and raised his head: "Huh? Do you say the cocoons on your hands? Fortunately, the weapon will be there after holding it for a long time. It doesn't hurt anymore now. ”

Gu Yan nodded and did not reply. However, the gaze remained on the cocoon for a long time.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Uighur refugees have hurt our people many times. My heart is very sad. I want to send troops to suppress one or two, what do you think? ”

"Your Majesty, the Great Qi had already suffered a great blow from the war with the Uighurs, and now the Uighurs have bowed down to our court. It's really not a good time to go to war. It was Qin Ran's father, Jianye Hou Qin Chu who spoke.

"Jianye Hou's words are wrong, is it true that the people of my Great Qi are oppressed by the Uighurs, shouldn't we do anything?" Shang Shuling stood up at the right time, and every sentence was thorny.

Qin Chu's temper was explosive, and he even saw that Shang Shu made this traitorous minister who could only flatter unpleasant, and when he was provoked by him, he said something angry.

"You yellow-mouthed kid, what can you understand?!"

Shang Shuling is just standing, but Qin Chu is almost fifty years old, and there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a yellow-mouthed child. But as soon as these words came out, Qi Yun's face darkened more than a little.

After Jianye Hou finished speaking, he found that Qi Yun's face had changed, and he hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

Qi Yun didn't pay attention to it, snorted coldly, and went down.

After Qi Yun returned to the dormitory with a black face, his anger finally couldn't be suppressed, and he smashed a lot of things, and the entire dormitory was in chaos, and the folds were scattered on the ground. After a while, Qi Yun finally collapsed on the dragon chair, but his fists were still clenched tightly.

Hua Sheng watched in horror from the side, and waited until Qi Yun completely calmed down before he dared to speak out.

"Your Majesty is angry, so as not to hurt the dragon's body."

Qi Yun flicked his sleeves with a "hum", and the yin owl in his eyes had not really dissipated.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jianye has a straight temper, but he is still loyal to His Majesty. What's more, Hou Ye and Shang Shuling have been at odds for a long time, and now there is no insinuation in His Majesty's thoughts, so don't worry about him. ”

Hua Sheng said, and respectfully poured Qi Yun a cup of tea.

Qi Yun didn't say a word, his clenched fist slowly loosened, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but his eyes were still gloomy.
