On the chessboard of Xinrong Palace, He Angelica and Meng Xuan played a total of three games of chess. In the first game of chess, the expressions of the two people changed from carelessness, to putting away their playfulness, to their solemn faces, to indecisiveness, to sweating on their foreheads, and finally to a draw.

Draw? It turned out to be a draw? He Angelica stared at the person in front of him angrily, and said in his heart, is there really a prodigy in this world, who can fight wits with her on the chessboard when he is only a teenager, and even a tie? You must know that chess is one of her most proud skills, how can she lose to a child in this! Reflecting on the progress of this game, she felt that the first half of the game was perfunctory, with the mentality of dealing with children, so that she gradually entered a stalemate with the opponent, if she had played well from the beginning, she believed that she would be able to determine the victory within 30 moves!

And Meng Xuan also glared at He Angelica angrily and lost? He actually lost? Counting the first move he played before, this game of chess is clearly this little girl who won him! How can this be reasonable, he lived for 19 years in his previous life, and he has lived for 11 years in this life, and he has been immersed in chess for more than 20 years, and he lost to a little girl who is learning to play chess, how can he be willing to accept defeat? So Meng Xuan said in a deep voice: "One more game!" ”

"Come on!" He Angelica took a deep breath and condensed, this time he must be completely defeated.

Reborn once, two lives as a human being, how could he lose to a child in his own proud field! The two of them thought "invariably". But because they were too eager to win, both of them ignored two questions at the same time, first, ordinary children would never have such clever chess skills, what kind of person would a child who could tie with their reborn selves be? Second, they are currently playing the role of children, hiding from the people around them, and have never used real game methods, do they have to expose their strength in order to win or lose?

And just like that, the second game began again.

After some fighting, He Angelica, who was full of breath, worked hard and finally narrowly defeated the other party's four sons. At this time, both of them felt that something was not quite right, and they both looked at each other with suspicious eyes, and said in their hearts, I didn't expect that there was really a prodigy in this world! As the old saying goes: There are people outside the world, and a mountain is higher than a mountain.

What made these two feel the most inappropriate was that because their chessboard was huge, the fight just now was clearly seen by Peng Shi, Peng Yan, Ning Yuan and Fake Fengyang, and successfully aroused their interest, so they all threw down their chessboard and came up to watch the two play chess.

At the urging of these four people, He Angelica and Meng Xuan began to play the third game of chess.

This time, they all regretted in their hearts that they had accidentally exposed their true chess level just now, and attracted everyone's attention, so they made up their minds to keep their wisdom and restore to the rookie level of an ordinary child. As soon as the game started, they sold flaws to each other everywhere, wanting the other party to solve themselves as soon as possible, so they played more and more idiots step by step, disappointing the four onlookers behind.

Then, Peng gradually first abandoned the principle of "watching chess without saying a true gentleman", and began to give advice to why Angelica gave advice and taught her how to kill the other party's sunspot, and Peng Gradual, Ning Yuan and Fake Fengyang, who couldn't see it, also began to participate, pointing fingers at the chessboard on the wall, so the game between the two people finally evolved into a war of words for six people, and the four strategists who watched the chess each held a meeting, and discussed the highlights and failures in the chess plan proposed by each of them-for-tat, and finally summed up a set of inclusive and comprehensive plans.

He Angelica only felt that there seemed to be a swarm of flies flying above his head, and he wanted to throw the chess basket back to his seat to eat snacks, but when he turned his head, he saw the old lady's praise with expectation, eagerness in expectation, and unclear gaze in eagerness, so she had to continue to play this hellish game of chess.

"Grandmother Wan'an, Bai Qiong is late, please forgive me!" With the crisp sound of a yellow bird, a twelve-year-old palace beauty walked into the main hall.

He Angelica's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he immediately looked sideways to see who this person was not Luo Baiqiong. The eyebrows, the smile, the look, the words and deeds, although they are a little immature and jerky, and they do not have the amorous style of Luo Baiqiong when she was thirty years old in her previous life, but she is clearly the one who teamed up with Zhou Jinglan to kill herself, her mother and her daughter, the woman who set traps for herself again and again in the name of family affection, and finally lured herself into the abyss. Her good second sister, Luo Baiqiong.

Sure enough, people rely on clothes to pretend to be gold, although twelve years old is not the best years of a woman's life, but it is better than the vitality of youth, better than the innocent little white rabbit temperament - although I don't know if Luo Baiqiong has ever had an innocent time. In short, the little beauty in front of me who was dressed in a juan gauze gold silk dark flower cloud brocade palace costume, covered with a green gauze dew gauze coat, a hair comb with double rings and a wishful high bun, a golden chisel flower double happiness flat square, a tortoiseshell inlaid beaded stone coral squirrel swaying, with a sweet smile on her face, and walking Tingting curly as soon as she walked into the hall, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although He Angelica had long been mentally prepared to meet Sun Meiniang, Luo Baiqiong, and Luo Chuangu, even though she came back to Luo's house to find these three people, although she had forged her heart as hard as a stone, but at first glance when she saw the face of this old enemy, she still couldn't help the torn strong hatred in her heart, and she almost had to exhaust all her self-control to not show her hatred.

She once saved Zhou Jinglan's life, but Zhou Jinglan and Xu Siniang took revenge and set up a poisonous scheme to frame themselves, and they never had such a strong hatred. They are men, for honor, for fame, for the side of women's nature that cannot coexist, although they dislike and despise it, but they can also understand one or two. They killed her only because she was in their way.

However, after she asked herself that she had gained honor and power in the palace, she was always working for the welfare of the Luo family, putting them first in everything, constantly giving without asking for anything in return, they were not grateful, and they bit her back at every turn, and she could still patiently deal with them for more than ten years.

Back then, Luo Baiqiong begged herself to give her husband Liang Yizhou a four-grade official position, although it was a difficult thing for a strong man, he still spent his mind day and night on this matter, and planned in many ways, but he didn't expect that after she worked hard to do this, she left a handle for abuse of power, and a seal of King Ning in Luo Baiqiong's hands. Rao is so, she still patiently does all kinds of things for them, thinking that after a long time, they will sooner or later feel a piece of her kindness, and then be moved by her heart, but she didn't expect that what she waited for in the end was that she saw their sinister intentions clearly, and at that time, she was really powerless to turn over.

How could she ever be half sorry for them, they should owe her so deeply!

It was negligible how badly she was injured, but how much she wanted her daughter to live. However, for the mother and daughter who were dying in the water prison, Sun Meiniang and Luo Baiqiong still chased and beat them fiercely, throwing small snakes into the water and biting her daughter to death. Unable to return to the sky, she could only throw her daughter's cold little body into the water, and then catch those little snakes and smoke them to death on the stone wall of the water prison like crazy. Seeing that she was so hard-hearted, Sun Meiniang kindly told her that now her mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and she would soon get a bowl of decoction mixed with arsenic, as long as she was willing to die obediently, then the three generations of their grandparents and grandchildren could meet underground.

At that time, she was so remorseful that she repeatedly hit her head against the wall of the well. If she hadn't married into the palace, if she had lived a mediocre life, if she hadn't come to this world at all, her mother wouldn't have died so miserably!

"Third sister, are you cold? Your shoulders are shaking all the time! Peng Gradual's voice interrupted her thoughts and dragged her out of the nightmare, and now his voice didn't sound so unpleasant, "Oh, you must have been sitting at the door just now with a cold wind," Peng gradually proposed, "Why don't you go to our table and have a cup of hot tea to warm up!" ”

He Angelica nodded, and was just about to answer something, when a crisp and pleasant voice like a yellow bird sounded within reach: "Let you stay for a long time, it is really a sin of the contemptible mansion, Bai Qiong cooked some of my homemade fragrant fruit tea as an atonement, please taste it, can this tea still be eaten?" ”

The old lady saw that her granddaughter's words and deeds were so generous and decent, and she couldn't help nodding her head with satisfaction, the hard work of the second daughter-in-law was really effective, and now looking at the entire Yangzhou City, I am afraid that I can't find a second lady like Sister Qiong, who is both internal and external, smart and dexterous. Mama Tang also followed Luo Baiqiong into the main hall, followed by licorice and lamp grass on the left and right, and each of them held a steaming large porcelain vase in her hand.

So, six chess masters who played chess until their mouths were dry, plus the old lady and Baoding Bo Mengshan, eight people took their places one after another, waiting for the little beauty in palace clothes who walked up and down to distribute the tea to everyone.

Luo Baiqiong first served a cup of tea to Baoding Bo Meng Shan and the seventh prince Meng Xuan, and then served tea to the old lady, fake Fengyang, Ning Yuan, Peng Shi, and Peng gradually in turn, and then she herself held a cup of tea in both hands, turned around and walked to the center of the hall, and introduced with a smile: "This tea is an appetizing fragrant fruit tea made of high-quality fresh fruits, and adding various medicinal juices and seasonings, which is suitable for drinking two cups before meals, and now the autumn is dry and windy, so this tea also adds some herbs that benefit the lungs......"

The crisp voice echoed in the main hall, and everyone who got the fragrant fruit tea couldn't help but take two or three deep breaths, what a fragrant tea! In the slightly sour sweet and fruity aroma, there is also a natural fragrant smell of grass, which has not yet been entered, as if it can already foresee the mellow taste of this tea, and then listen to the narration of Miss Luo in the center of the hall, it is really a pleasure. Everyone's impetuous hearts gradually calmed down, and the anxiety that had not been waiting for the banquet just now gradually dissipated, and even Baoding Bo Mengshan, who had a stern and old-fashioned face, showed a relaxed expression, closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of fruit tea that gave people stability.

At this time, Licorice, who was standing behind the table with a large porcelain vase in half-empty, suddenly noticed that the table of the third lady was empty, and there was neither dim sum nor tea, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take a tea cup and poured her some fragrant fruit tea.

He Angelica has been in a daze since he had just touched the most painful memory, and he didn't pay attention to the things in the palace, let alone what he had to eat and drink in front of him. At this time, Licorice came up to pour tea for her, and she suddenly noticed that her table was empty, and she remembered that there were three or four plates of dim sum before, but then that Peng gradually came to chat with her with a plate of mandarin duck dumplings, not only finished eating his own mandarin duck dumplings, but also ate all of her table of dim sum, and his mouth was not idle while eating, muttering a bunch of inexplicable words, what a disgusting guy.

He Angelica breathed a sigh of relief, feeling slowly relieved from the dark memories, and when he raised his eyes, Meng Xuan's thoughtful eyes on the opposite side also looked straight over, making her feel that the other party had seen through her heart, and lowered her head almost in self-defense, and then picked up the tea on the table and wanted to pour two sips to ward off the cold. But when the tea came to her mouth, her hand stopped again, this sweet fragrance, this orange-red tea soup...... Isn't it your own red fruit tea? Why does Luo Baiqiong say that it is her "homemade" "fragrant fruit tea"?

He Angelica looked up at Mama Tang not far away suspiciously, trying to figure out what was going on, and the other party had been watching the situation on her side intently, seeing that she had discovered that "this tea is that tea", Mama Tang grinned weakly, and then said to herself: "Second Miss's tea-making skills are really good, this fragrant fruit tea is simply a must in our Luofu!" While praising Luo Baiqiong's good skills, he also hinted to He Angelica that they must not come out to dismantle their stage, because this is a major event related to the reputation of "our Luo Mansion"!

After He Angelica understood Mama Tang's hint, he returned to his most usual cowardly appearance of lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, sitting in meditation with his head down, staring intently at his bowl of tea in a daze, but laughing two lines of tears in his heart, haha! The Luo family is really a treasure land of all kinds of strange things, and someone even came out to pretend to be a fruit tea, and generously brought out all the benefits of this tea. He Angelica thought again, since he could recognize this as red fruit tea, then the old lady who drank seven or eight bowls of tea in the carriage that day could naturally recognize it, I wonder if the old lady sitting in the main seat in the center of the day was full of praise for a cup of red fruit tea called "fragrant fruit tea", and even praised her granddaughter's ingenuity and understanding of pharmacology, would she have a trace of trembling and uneasiness in her heart?

At this time, Luo Baiqiong, who was in the center of the hall, had already finished introducing her fragrant fruit tea to everyone, turned sideways and pinched the silk handkerchief, saluted Baoding Bo on the seat, and smiled decently: "Uncle Meng, please use tea!" Then he looked around and smiled, "Everyone, please have tea!" ”

So in the entire hall, except for He Angelica, everyone picked up the tea and drank it full.

Luo Baiqiong smiled and looked at Baoding Bo Mengshan holding the cup in one hand, half-squinting his eyes and taking a sip of fragrant fruit tea, then suddenly opened his eyes, covered his mouth with bulging cheeks and was silent for a moment, and then turned his head...... Spit that sip of tea into the mouthwash cup!
