The Queen Mother had long expected that the prince of Dingchuan would not punish the palace 'girl', and she also knew that it was Mama Qing's intention to let the palace 'girl' come late for a while. The queen mother said to the 'girl' of the palace: "Since it is Jichuan who said it, I will spare you this time." Punish for a month, and don't appear in front of the palace these days. ”

The 'woman' of the palace thanked again and again: "Empress Dowager Xie, Prince Xie Chuan." With that, he stood up and placed the chessboard on the table. He bowed his head and retreated.

The Queen Mother smiled lightly at the prince of Sichuan and said, "You play white chess, you go first." ”

The prince of Sichuan dropped a chess piece on the chessboard. The Queen Mother didn't seem to think much about it, and she dropped a chess piece very casually.

It's been like this for a long time. But there is still no winner or loser.

Therefore, the prince of Sichuan said: "The queen mother's chess skills are 'fine', and the sons are already lost." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, and she said, "Jichuan, you are a little absent-minded." ”

Prince Chuan hurriedly explained: "Erchen is not absent-minded, but he has not played chess with his mother for a long time, and he is very panicked when he plays chess. After speaking, the prince of Sichuan raised his head and looked at the queen mother quietly.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I said earlier that you don't have to be so restrained. But we rarely meet, and it's normal for you to be like that. But you don't need to remember that I am the queen mother, you just need to remember that I am your queen mother, and your mother will be fine. ”

The prince of Sichuan stopped talking, knowing that he would finish this game of chess no matter what, so he concentrated a little. But Lord Chuan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was. Subconsciously, he always felt that something was going to happen today, and he wanted to go back early. But the Queen Mother seems to be playing chess casually, but she is actually very serious. But the prince of Sichuan was distracted, and soon he was about to lose.

The Queen Mother glanced at Prince Sichuan and said, "The Queen Mother sees that your chess skills are getting worse and worse, but there are other things in your heart?" The emperor likes to play chess the most, and you have to play more in this game. ”

The Queen Mother said this, and the Prince of Sichuan already understood that the Queen Mother let herself play good chess just to please the emperor, so that she could get the emperor's position, and the Queen Mother could also get the most honorable position as she wished.

After the end of the first game, the distracted Prince of Sichuan naturally lost. The Queen Mother said: "You are too careless in this game, and it is not your true ability." You concentrate a little, and we'll move on to the next game. ”

Lord Chuan only thinks that he can play at will, and he can end it quickly no matter whether he wins or loses. But I didn't expect the Queen Mother to say this, obviously trying her best to keep herself. As a result, the prince of Sichuan became more and more worried. Last time, Mama Qing had already discovered Xia Ye'er, and according to the queen mother's temper, it was impossible to stop there, which made him very worried, and he didn't know if something would happen in his palace.

At this time, Princess Ling 'Jade' came. Princess Ling 'Jade' saw the prince of Sichuan, bowed in a proper manner, and said softly: "I have seen the queen mother, the prince of Sichuan." ”

The Queen Mother did not speak for a long time. Prince Chuan glanced at Princess Ling 'Jade', but he didn't care much about her, and only said, "Get up." ”

Princess Ling 'Jade' said: "Thank you Lord Chuan." With that, he got up. Princess Ling 'Jade' stepped forward and stood beside the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Ling 'Jade' slightly, but she didn't look at her, and only smiled: "You are here." ”

Princess Ling 'Yu' bowed slightly, and said: "My nephew is really bored in his palace, and when I heard that the prince of Sichuan was here with his mother, I wanted to come and have a good time." The mother concubine won't be annoyed with her nephew, right? ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's just right to come, and it's rare that you still know the prince of Sichuan." ”

Princess Ling 'Jade' raised her head, smiled at the prince of Sichuan, and lowered her head again. The prince of Sichuan turned his face away, and he didn't want to look at Princess Ling'yu'. Princess Ling 'Jade' saw that the prince of Sichuan disdained her, and she was naturally very tired of this prince of Sichuan. Besides, she knew that the prince of Sichuan and Xia Ye'er were close, she hated Xia Ye'er to the bone, and she also hated the prince of Sichuan.

The Queen Mother insisted on playing chess with Prince Chuan, but Prince Sichuan couldn't refuse, so he had to accompany the Queen Mother to play another game of chess. The prince of Sichuan couldn't hold it back, so he said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, the son did not intend to sweep the interest of the queen mother, but the son of the minister gave himself the books to memorize every day, and he really didn't dare to delay for a day." ”

The Queen Mother doesn't know if a cynical person like Prince Sichuan can read. The Queen Mother then said: "Then you come and tell the Queen Mother, what books have you read?" ”

Prince Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said stubbornly: "I have read the four books and five classics, but I am not familiar with it yet. ”

Princess Ling 'Jade' hurriedly said: "Lord Chuan said this, I have also read it, can you ask Lord Chuan for some advice?" ”

The prince of Sichuan was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said nothing. The Queen Mother thought in her heart, since the prince of Sichuan was the predator of the throne she wanted to cultivate in the future, she naturally couldn't let the prince of Sichuan be too embarrassed and embarrassed for him, so as not to hate herself in the future, so she gave Princess Ling 'jade' a look.

Princess Ling 'Jade' didn't understand this 'color', and said to the prince of Sichuan: "Could it be that what the prince of Sichuan said is all prevarication for the queen mother?" ”

The prince of Sichuan smiled lightly and replied: "Sage Yun, a 'female' son is virtuous if he is not talented. Princess Ling 'Jade' is so smart and reads through poetry and books, I hope she won't lose her virtue. ”

After hearing this, Princess Ling 'Jade' was annoyed in her heart, and wanted to refute it, but the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "What Yanmo said is polite. Ling 'Jade', remember? ”

Princess Ling 'Jade' nodded unhappily and said, "Yes, my nephew remembers." ”

The prince of Sichuan said: "Since Princess Ling 'Jade' is here, the queen mother is not afraid of being bored alone. Seeing that there was nothing to do with Erchen, Erchen took his leave first. ”

Princess Ling 'Jade' heard that Prince Chuan was leaving, thinking that if he went this time, he would definitely save Xia Ye'er, so she stepped forward to stop Prince Chuan. Prince Chuan was puzzled: "What does this mean, princess?" ”

Princess Ling 'Jade' hurriedly retracted her posture and said, "As soon as I come, the prince of Sichuan will leave." Those who know only say that the prince of Sichuan is empathetic, but say that I have no eyes. Those who don't know will say that I deliberately occupy the Queen Mother and don't want your mother and son to meet, and it's not mine. Speaking of which, they are all accusing me, but the prince of Sichuan can't just let me be slandered by others like this. ”

The prince of Sichuan glanced at Princess Ling 'Jade', and Princess Ling 'Jade' actually shed tears like this, and wiped her face with a handkerchief. Regardless of whether Princess Ling 'Yu' was really sad or not, but when Prince Chuan saw a 'girl' crying because of him, he always felt sorry in his heart.

The Queen Mother therefore said: "Ling's 'jade' is also a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everything is 'fine'. Since you are a little frightened and restless when you play against the queen mother, can you play a game with Princess Ling 'Jade'? The prince of Sichuan was stunned for a moment and said: "Princess Ling's 'jade' is a 'female', and the son is a man, if he loses, it will inevitably be said." But if he wins, others will blame Erchen for not knowing how to pity the 'jade', and will only bully a little 'girl'. ”
