Chapter 411: Whoever Wins or Loses
It was getting late, and the deliberations in the Changxin Hall were coming to an end. Liu Cong took over the errand with Su Tuhu's envoy, and left first with the wine, and the prime minister and the lieutenant also retired. Xiao Qingyun only said that he wanted to play chess with Shen Rongzhi, and supported Bai Qingfeng to accompany Lan Jing'an to practice archery, but he still took Shen Rongzhi to the greenhouse hall.
Bai Qingfeng first accompanied Lan Jing'an to run a few laps of horses and released more than a dozen arrows, before the two of them asked her out loud when they were resting: "I heard that you ordered the ladies of the official family to enter the palace during the Chengtian Festival, how did you plan to do it?" ”
Lan Jing'an estimated that he might have misunderstood, and explained loudly: "I'm just kind." At first, it was to clean up the slippery head. Later, I thought that since I had summoned them, I would simply invite them all. Not only the official lady, but also the son of the family, I also invited. Then there will be a luncheon, as much as you can, so that those ladies will be whispering in my ear every time they enter the palace. ”
Bai Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were having trouble with the king again, and you had such thoughts." ”
Lan Jing'an hesitated slightly, but still explained his plan and discernment: "Not this time." But at the beginning of spring next year, I plan to enrich the harem no matter what. ”
Bai Qingfeng couldn't help but say to her: "You, you." You know he won't. Where do you put his mind in doing so? Even if you're really well-intentioned, you shouldn't do it that way. Quietly circle a few palace people and leave the child. If it is a large-scale selection, once this harem is erected, there is no way to dismantle it. ”
Lan Jing'an took a deep breath, and the slightly cool air made her feel more and more uncomfortable. She whispered, "Both the royal family and the Si Ming clan need successors. Since I occupy the position of queen and the chief priest, I can only act according to my duty. I said this to Biluan, and today I also want to tell my eldest brother that no matter what, I will not practice the method of leaving the mother and the child. The life of the palace people is the same fate, and a child without a mother is too pitiful. ”
Bai Qingfeng heard her last sentence with a trill, and she didn't know what she remembered again. He looked at Lan Jing'an's lonely expression, and it was not good to talk about it again, so he could only turn over and get on the horse, and accompany her to run two more laps to evacuate the depression in his heart. Bai Qingfeng prayed silently in her heart while riding a horse, hoping that she would conceive a child as soon as possible.
In the greenhouse hall, there were only a few empty pieces on the chessboard, and Xiao Qingyun was asking Shen Rongzhi in a low voice: "Where are you going over there?" ”
Shen Rongzhi's voice was also not loud: "I have already passed Tai Ting, and I guess I will be there the day after tomorrow." Did you tell Your Highness? ”
Xiao Qingyun shook his head: "No." I'm not going to say that. I knew she wouldn't agree. In this case, it is better to cut it first and then play it, and then talk about it. ”
Shen Rongzhi complained bitterly in his heart, and his face also showed embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this can't be done." When the time comes, His Highness knows that there will definitely be trouble, and it is impossible. ”
Xiao Qingyun sighed and said irritably: "Let's take one step at a time." For the time being, there is no need to think about the future, let's talk about the recent first. Does the other party still insist on the previous conditions? ”
Shen Rongzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying his best to suppress his disgust: "Yes." The other party is very hard-mouthed, and only says that if you can't reach an agreement, they won't help you until they die. ”
Shen Rongzhi frowned, and added with a calm face: "Otherwise, you might as well open the harem." I think His Highness agrees with this idea. ”
Xiao Qingyun's face was gloomy: "You don't know it?" Since I have Ahri by my side, I want to make her comfortable. If she lets a smart person like her be pestered all day long by a bunch of jealous women, can she be happy? Besides, once the opening is opened, anyone will want to squeeze into the harem, and when the time comes, the front and the harem will be together, where will there be any peaceful birthday? ”
Shen Rong said in her heart, she is comfortable and safe now? When she finds out about the good things you did, I'm afraid she will be even more unhappy. However, even if he and Xiao Qingyun were familiar, he didn't dare to say this. Shen Rongzhi only said: "Then is everything still going according to plan?" ”
Xiao Qingyun took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Hmm." You have them informed that I agreed. As for this side..."As he spoke, Xiao Qingyun leaned towards Shen Rongzhi's side again, and discussed with him in a low voice.
When Lan Jing'an went to the greenhouse hall to find the two of them, it was already past the time to hold the lamp. Xiao Qingyun beckoned to her, and she rubbed to Xiao Qingyun's side to watch the chess game. Lan Jing'an was a little surprised: "You have been playing for so long, and you have only played half a game?" ”
Xiao Qingyun touched her hand, and saw that the temperature on her hand was fine, so she received it with confidence: "No." This is the second game. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled: "I didn't expect it to be very fast." Who won the first game? Let me guess, it should be..."Before she finished speaking, Shen Rongzhi interjected: "It's the king who won." After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Qingyun meaningfully.
Lan Jing'an smiled and said happily to Shen Rongzhi, "Then do you want me to help?" ”
Shen Rongzhi hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't stand His Highness's kindness." Besides, I just didn't notice it for a while. Even if you all start this game, it won't have to be my opponent. With that, he pointed to the chessboard again.
Lan Jing'an had long seen that the sunspot held by Shen Rongzhi currently had an advantage. But Shen Rongzhi didn't say anything, and as soon as his words came out, it naturally aroused Lan Jing'an's competitive spirit. Xiao Qingyun saw Ahri's appearance of gearing up, so he simply moved to the side, giving up his position to her, and she played directly against Shen Rongzhi. Lan Jing'an put her mind on the chessboard, immersed herself in hard work, and completely ignored Xiao Qingyun, who had been staring at her, and Shen Rongzhi, who was trying his best to hide his gaze.
At the end of a fierce battle, Lan Jing'an narrowly won half a game. She proudly showed off to Shen Rongzhi: "It's better not to be too complacent." Shen Rongzhi deliberately straightened his face: "Her Royal Highness the Queen taught you a lesson." ”
Lan Jing'an couldn't help laughing, Xiao Qingyun also hooked the corners of her mouth rarely, and touched her head: "You bully him again, be careful that Princess Cheng will go to you to cry again tomorrow." ”
Lan Jing'an didn't dare to be happy anymore all of a sudden, and looked at Shen Rongzhi with a flickering eye: "Cousin, either you can go back now." Today is not the time for us to leave you late, you are reluctant to leave. You'll have to explain it to your cousin for us. ”
"Hmm. I remember. Today I was reluctant to leave the palace, and I worked hard to accompany the emperor and queen to play chess. Her Royal Highness the Queen doesn't care about the meal, and if she wins the chess, she will send her ministers away. As soon as Shen Rongzhi's words came out, Lan Jing'an was so frightened that he jumped up directly from the mat and hurriedly greeted outside the hall: "Su Mei, you let Si Zhu go and prepare a meal, and you must prepare more things that King Cheng likes." This time, the person with crooked eyebrows and eyes was finally replaced by Shen Rongzhi.
