Knowing that Bai Yiyan was going to enter the palace to meet Princess Wuyang, the Li family was a little worried. But thinking about the gifts that the previous princess gave Bai Yiyan before, and stayed overnight with Bai Yiyan for one night, it is estimated that the two became friends. What's more, Bai Yiyan said that last time Princess Wuyang had left a message for her, telling her to go to the palace when she was sick, and make up for the unfinished part. Bai Yiyan repeatedly promised to only go to the princess's bedroom. Although the Li family was not happy for Bai Yiyan to contact the royal family, it was not easy to stop her this time.

Bai Yiyan looked at the towering blue bricks and tiles, and his palms were sweating for some reason, I don't know if the shadow of the last time he entered the palace was too big. She turned her face sideways to look at Bi Luan, it was her first time entering the palace, and her nervousness could be seen from her pursed lips. Bai Yiyan grabbed Biluan, comforted her and comforted herself, and said, "It's okay, it's all fine." ”

When she arrived at the Yunshen Pavilion, Princess Wuyang smiled when she saw her, and then stopped her from giving a full salute. Princess Wuyang sent others and invited Bai Yiyan to taste tea in the main hall: "I still think about when to take you into the palace to play, last time I said that I liked your dance, and I want you to teach me, I am sincere." This time I just made up for it. ”

Bai Yiyan didn't go around in circles: "Last time, thank you princess, I really can't repay it, this dance should be taught by myself." I wonder if the words of the prince mentioned by the princess last time are still counted? ”

Princess Wuyang nodded: "The second brother told me before that you would come again, I still don't believe it, but I really let him guess." Second brother, he has already left his words, no matter when you come over, his words are valid. But he said that it is inconvenient to meet in the palace, and he will find a time and place to meet you outside. I'll pass on your words to him, and you can go home and wait for the letter. ”

Bai Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. The two stopped talking about this topic and talked about rhythm and dance instead. Bai Yiyan kept his promise and taught Princess Wuyang that dance and did not return it. This time, the two did not go out to borrow a sword, but broke two branches and practiced. Princess Wuyang is very smart and learns quickly, but she has never lifted a sword, and her movements look more than soft, but her strength is insufficient, and she has never been able to dance the heaviness of that song.

Princess Wuyang didn't care too much, and knew that such a sword dance might not be suitable for her, so once she learned it, she stopped practicing, and started other dances with Bai Yiyan. Bai Yiyan and Princess Wuyang have become a lot closer to each other this day. By the time Bai Yiyan left the palace, Princess Wuyang had already pulled her like a best friend.

This time, Princess Wuyang still sent the Tao lady to send Bai Yiyan back, and repeatedly told Bai Yiyan to come to Yunshen Pavilion to play with her when she was free.

It was only two or three days after Bai Yiyan went back, and the Tao female official came again under the pretext that Princess Wuyang had a reward. sent a message to Bai Yiyan that the prince asked her to meet her in three days, and as long as she reported to the store that she was a guest of Princess Wuyang, the store would take her over to see the prince.

Bai Yiyan had vaguely heard of this Bide Building, which was a restaurant not far from Guanglu in the south of the city. Every year, the selection of officials is carried out in Guanglu, so many officials will have a banquet for their superiors and colleagues in the Bidlou, hoping that they will have a prosperous official fortune. This restaurant also responds to the meaning that it must be selected.

On the day of the appointment, Bai Yiyan found an excuse to buy something, but he went out with Biluan smoothly. She was a little apprehensive in her heart, for fear that she would be self-defeating again this time. But the desire to break the engagement overcame everything and forced her to make this trip.

When she arrived at the Bide Building, she reported her name according to the Tao female official, and the shopkeeper personally greeted her, and did not take her to the box of the Bide Building, but went around to a small building behind. Said that the person she wanted to meet was waiting for her on the third floor.

Bai Yiyan rarely came to Nancheng, and he didn't know that there was such a hidden small building outside of this Muste Building. The decoration of the building is luxurious, and there is a faint fragrance floating in the air. On the third floor, there was only one room, she pushed open the door and found Yuwen Moyuan standing at the window, and the other person standing behind him was the same young man who had been driving in the downtown last time.

Bai Yiyan saluted Yuwen Moyuan in a regular manner. Yuwen Moyuan turned around, looked at her with a satisfied smile, and said, "It's good if you're willing to come." Then he instructed the people around him: "Zhou Qi, you go and take the white girl's maidservant down and wait, no one is allowed to put it up without the permission of Lone." Zhou Qi respectfully accepted the order and wanted to take Biluan down. But Biluan's footsteps did not move, just waiting for Bai Yiyan's instructions.

When Bai Yiyan heard Yuwen Moyuan's words, his body stiffened, and he was a little scared in his heart, not knowing if the idea of coming over today was wrong, and he hesitated to leave immediately. Yuwen Moyuan seemed to see her thoughts, and said, "Don't think nonsense. It's just that what we're talking about today is more confidential, and I don't want a third person to hear it. Bai Yiyan can understand it if he thinks about it. Thinking about Biluan downstairs again, if it doesn't work, she can probably hear it when she yells. gritted his teeth, and let Bi Luan go down with Zhou Qi.

When it came to the room, only Bai Yiyan and Yuwen Moyuan were left, Bai Yiyan was so nervous that he didn't even dare to sit down, stood a foot away from Yuwen Moyuan, and said: "Your Highness can meet each other today, and the courtiers are very grateful." The courtiers listened to Princess Wuyang say that Her Royal Highness was willing to help the courtiers dissolve the marriage contract. I wonder what His Highness can do? What are the conditions? ”

Yuwen Moyuan saw that fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Bai Yiyan's nose, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't do anything to you today." The incense here, I have also sent someone to confirm it again and again, and there is no problem, you can rest assured. By the way, do you know how to play chess? ”

Bai Yiyan was surprised by his question: "Back to His Royal Highness, the courtiers will only have a few sons indiscriminately." ”

Yuwen Moyuan pointed to a small number in the corner of the room: "Just go down." Sit down. Accompany me to play a game first, and if you can beat me, I will tell you my methods and conditions. ”

Only then did Bai Yiyan notice that there was a chessboard on the small table, and two animal skins were laid on the ground on both sides. Bai Yiyan secretly scolded Yuwen Moyuan in his heart, if he didn't talk about serious things, he would toss people. But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so she honestly picked up the window side and sat down.

Yuwen Moyuan also sat cross-legged opposite her and said to her, "It's a wolfskin mat, it won't freeze you." Do you choose white or sunspot? Remember, only if you win me, will I tell my way. ”

Bai Yiyan held a breath of anger in her heart, and she was not polite: "That courtier chooses a sunspot." I hope that His Highness will show mercy. ”

The two of them were soon back and forth on the chessboard. After a few hands, Bai Yiyan knew that Yuwen Moyuan's level was very good, so he was particularly engrossed. Yuwen Moyuan watched Bai Yiqian holding chess, a wisp of green silk hanging down, his face was full of concentration, and he felt very happy.

In the middle of the battle, Yuwen Moyuan opened his mouth and asked Bai Yiyan: "Your chess skills are good, who did you learn from?" ”

Bai Yiyan was thinking about how to move next, and replied without thinking: "I learned it from my brother." ”

Yuwen Moyuan frowned, and asked again, "Is it Bai Qingyun?" I heard that he was an orphan picked up by the Marquis of Dingyuan from the battlefield. How did you become the concubine of the Marquis of Dingyuan? When did he start living with you? ”

Hearing this, a trace of vigilance rose in Bai Yiyan's heart and withdrew his hand from the chessboard. Thinking about this question, many others have asked it, and answered truthfully: "My brother was brought back to Baiyuguan by his father when he was three years old, and he has been living with us all the time. I don't have any other brothers-in-law, and it's my parents' intention to make a brother a son-in-law. ”

Yuwen Moyuan stared at her movements, and said, "I'm just asking casually, last time I heard you talk about life in the border city, it seems that you and Bai Qingyun have a good relationship?" ”

Bai Yiyan looked at the chessboard and didn't want to explain too much, just said lightly: "Well, our family has lived in the border city for many years, and we are closer than other brothers and sisters. ”

Bai Yiyan left a son and asked Yuwen Moyuan instead: "I wonder if Your Highness can remember who the woman who was with King Xiling in Yitu Pavilion that day?" ”

Yuwen Moyuan shook his head: "I was too far away that day, and I didn't see her face clearly. If you don't want to be with the sixth brother, what do you care about his woman? ”

Bai Yiyan knew that he had misunderstood, but it was not easy to explain that he had the intention to push that woman and Yuwen Mochi to be a pair, so as to escape the marriage. I can only find other reasons: "I heard that the woman tried to poison the incense that day, and it is estimated that the poison in the tea was also caused by her." If you have revenge, you don't want to take revenge, you have to find an opportunity to give her something back. ”

Yuwen Moyuan smiled sullenly: "You are sincere." I'll send someone to check slowly, and I'll leave this matter to me. ”

The two of them were evenly matched, and by the time a game of chess was over, nearly two hours had passed. And the final victory or defeat needs to be evaluated by numbers, Bai Yiyan counted for a while, breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness, for agreeing." ”

Yuwen Moyuan was a little surprised, and said: "This is not the level of only a few sons, you can fool me." But since I promised you, I will naturally tell you the way. We got up and went to drink water and eat something. As he spoke, he took the lead in getting up.

Bai Yiyan knelt on the wolf skin cushion for two hours, but when he thought about it, he felt numb in his feet. When she was quietly struggling to get up, Yuwen Moyuan had already stretched out her hand. It was not the first time that she had been pulled up by Yuwen Moyuan, so she was no longer hypocritical, and got up directly with the strength of Yuwen Moyuan.
