Chapter 37 Chance encounter with Zhuge Chen
Nangong Xu dispatched most of the family to search the bamboo forest garden where Nangong Yi'er lived, this carpet search really paid off, a family found a suspicious trace on a wall, so the family Ding unsure moved the bamboo door open, and was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him!
Later, Nangong Xu was notified to come to check, and Nangong Xu saw a big hole that suddenly appeared on the wall, and his face was so angry that he turned into a pig's liver! I thought that he despised Nangong Yi'er too much, and actually did such a thing under his nose! It is estimated that her talent is the blessing of this big hole that can leave the house! Nangong Xu was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left.
The prince naturally knew about it for the first time, and said sarcastically to Nangong Xu: "It's really a foot tall and a foot high!" It seems that the guess of the prince is correct! You, the master of Nangong Mansion, have been deceived for so many years, I think it is better to change the master! The last sentence turned to a stern tone.
Nangong Xu knelt down in fear and said: "Please forgive the prince, this time it was the minister's negligence, and the minister will definitely not make such a mistake next time!" ”
The prince said insidiously: "This time the prince will spare you, if there is a next time, be careful of your head!" Hum! After saying that, he stood up and left the study depressed.
Nangong Xu saw that the prince let him go, and said to the prince's back: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, send His Royal Highness the Prince!" When the prince walked away, Nangong Xu stood up, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and thought, since ancient times, I have only heard that a companion is like a tiger, how can a prince make him feel this way?
In the courtyard of the Crown Princess of the East Palace, the Crown Princess is holding a cup of hot tea and gently sipping it, and suddenly asks her personal maid, "Fluttershy, what are the rumors outside?" ”
Fluttershy replied respectfully, "Back to the Crown Princess, since the second princess revealed her talent and true face on the queen's birthday last night, the second princess has been rumored to be almost a god by the people of Aoyu Kingdom overnight!" ”
The crown princess didn't seem surprised at all by this result, because she didn't care about this! continued: "How did it get on? ”
Fluttershy glanced at the Crown Princess, wondering what to say about it......
The crown princess was obviously a little impatient, and her voice raised a few decibels: "If you say it, just say it, why bother and wait!" ”
Fluttershy was so frightened that she blurted out, "Outside, it is said that the second princess is almost unmatched in the country of Aoyu, whether it is poetry, song or appearance, although it is not explicitly said, but almost everyone acquiesces that the second princess is the first talented woman in the country of Aoyu!" ”
When the crown princess heard this, she was immediately angry, and directly threw the unfinished teacup in her hand on the ground! Unexpectedly, the image she established was destroyed overnight by Nangong Yi'er, which is what she cares about the most!
Fluttershy, who was next to her, was startled by the sound of the teacup, and when she thought the princess was still angry, she heard the princess say, "I'm a little tired in the palace, Fluttershy, you go down first." ”
Fluttershy retreats relieved.
It is true that the crown princess was not relieved enough after smashing the cup just now, but when she thought of her current identity, she still endured it, even if she smashed everything in the princess's courtyard, what could she do, she couldn't save her honor! And this kind of behavior will fall into the mouth of others, if she is not a fool, she will definitely not do this, but this tone will be taken back from Nangong Yi'er sooner or later! The crown princess thought stoically.
In Prince Xian's mansion, Ao Tianqi was rarely interested in asking Zhuge Chen to play chess in the pavilion, Zhuge Chen smiled and said: "The second master is really interested today!" The first time I took the initiative to ask Zhuge to play chess, it was really rare! ”
Ao Tianqi was really in a good mood today, and replied with a chuckle: "If you are only willing to ask me out, won't I be allowed to ask you out?" Hurry up and stop talking nonsense, watch chess! ”
Zhuge Chen said: "How can I do it if I don't talk nonsense!" Your second princess is now a big celebrity in Aoyu Kingdom! I've had the pleasure of meeting you today! ”
Ao Tianqi glanced at Zhuge Chen with disdain and said, "I said why did you come to the appointment so quickly today, but I didn't expect that the drunkard didn't mean to drink!" ”
Zhuge Chen hurriedly explained: "Second master, don't worry, I'm not a beautiful woman who came to Xiao to miss you, I'm just too curious." ”
Ao Tianqi naturally knew that Zhuge Chen didn't mean this, and replied helplessly: "The second princess rarely comes out of her own courtyard, and I can't see her a few times, if you want to see her, it depends on your creation." ”
Zhuge Chen just wanted to sigh, but suddenly found two women walking towards this side from a distance behind Ao Tianqi, and asked strangely: "Second master, you are really not interesting, you secretly hid the little beauty, and you didn't tell Zhuge a word!" ”
Ao Tianqi replied strangely: "Zhuge Mo is going to make fun of me, I, the maid and wife of the Virtuous Prince's Mansion, are very few, why are there any little beauties, I see if you have drunk too much during the day." ”
Zhuge Chen saw Ao Tianqi denying it, and his mouth snorted in the direction behind him and said, "Then if you look back, you will know if Zhuge is talking drunk!" ”
Ao Tianqi really didn't believe it, and immediately turned around and looked back, this look was really frozen, wasn't that his princess and maid? I wonder how they have the leisure to hang out here?
Nangong Yi'er seemed to feel that someone was watching her, her eyes swept around, and when she saw Ao Tianqi who was almost thirty meters away from her in front of her, she subconsciously paused, and pulled Xiao Dong to go from another way, but she didn't want to hear Ao Tianqi's voice at this time: "Where is the princess going?" Do you want to slip away when you see that this king doesn't come to salute? ”
Nangong Yi'er rolled her eyes, thinking that she really went out and ran into a ghost! The last person she wants to meet is Ao Tianqi, he was a little suspicious of her relationship with Qing Yifeng in the carriage last night, so Nangong Yi'er can avoid him as much as possible! I didn't expect that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes, so let her hit it right today!
Nangong Yi'er could only stubbornly walk towards him, and when she walked in front of him, she bent down and saluted: "The concubine sees the prince!" ”
Aotian Qi said: "The princess is exempt. ”
Nangong Yi'er stood up and said, "Can the concubine go to other places?" ”
Ao Tianqi blurted out without thinking about it: "Why don't you stay and see how about this king and Brother Zhuge play chess?" After saying this, Ao Tianqi regretted it a little, it was always women who circled around him and asked him to stay, how could he also say words to a woman to stay, what a hell!
At this time, Zhuge Chen next to him saluted and said: "The princess is polite, under Zhuge Chen." ”
Nangong Yi'er nodded, in fact, she had already seen Zhuge Chen, this is someone who is more familiar than Ao Tianqi! How could she ignore it! This Zhuge Chen is not an ordinary character, she doesn't dare to take it lightly. But she didn't dare to refuse Ao Tianqi's request, after all, he was a prince anyway, and it would be too shameful to refuse directly! What's more, there are still outsiders here, Nangong Yi'er can only reluctantly reply: "Then the concubine will stay and take a look!" ”
Zhuge Chen naturally heard her perfunctory tone, and said with a smile: "Does the princess think it's boring to watch chess next to her?" It is rumored that the princess is proficient in poetry and songs, and this chess skill must be extraordinary! Why don't you ask the princess to teach you a game! ”
Ao Tianqi is also a person who knows how to observe words and feelings, and it seems that Zhuge Chen will not give up if he does not compete with Nangong Yi'er! So he said very cooperatively: "It's really boring to watch chess on the side, it's the king's negligence!" It's better for the princess to play a game with Zhuge , this king also wants to see the princess's chess skills, I don't know what the princess wants? ”
Nangong Yi'er's face was full of black lines, why did the situation suddenly turn around, and she, an outsider, suddenly became the protagonist? Didn't she just say it in a bad tone! If she knew that it would be the end of letting her play chess, she would pretend to be happy to watch chess even if she pretended, but there is no if in this world! Looking at the expectant eyes of these two people, Nangong Yi'er knew that she couldn't say no! ”
Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "The princess said this to agree to Zhuge Ge's request, princess, please sit here." ”
Nangong Yi'er sat down opposite Zhuge Chen, watching Zhuge put the black and white chess pieces that had not been played before into the chess bowl, thinking that this game of Go was still difficult for her, thinking that she had been playing chess, chess, and Go with her grandfather since she was a child in modern times, and her grandfather's favorite game was Go.
With the passage of time, Nangong Yi'er never knew how to play Go to the point where she finally honed it for her grandfather to be afraid of Go, because since Nangong Yi'er's chess skills surpassed her grandfather's, she was pestered by her grandfather every day, Nangong Yi'er lived a little clean life for herself, and only deliberately lost to her grandfather, to be honest, she didn't know what level her Go had reached, because she had only played with her grandfather, and Zhuge Chen was the second opponent in her life to play Go!
Zhuge Chen said suddenly: "If there is no bet in this game of Go, it will not be fun, it is better like this, the winner will be determined in one game, if the princess wins, you can make a request to Zhuge !" If Zhuge wins, then can the princess lift the veil and let Zhuge see the truth! I wonder what the princess thinks? ”
Nangong Yi'er smiled and said: "Since Gongzi Zhuge is a cheerful person, this princess also complied with your request!" Can you get started now? ”
Zhuge Chen said politely: "Then ask the princess to settle down first!" ”
Nangong Yi'er thought to herself, will this Zhuge Chen be too confident in himself! This person who falls first is equivalent to taking the lead at the beginning of the chess game! It is impossible for him Zhuge Chen not to know! Since he is such a gentleman, she Nangong Yi'er is naturally disrespectful, if she wants to see her appearance under the veil, he Zhuge Chen has to show some strength!
Of course, Nangong Yi'er didn't dare to take it lightly, if Zhuge Chen didn't suspect her appearance, it would be hell! In order to avoid this from happening, Nangong Yi'er naturally cheered up and was ready to go all out!
So on this sunny afternoon, a chess contest quietly unfolded under this pavilion.
