Three days later, Xiao Yan really accepted Zhou Shumei as a concubine.

This made Xiao Min and Zhou Shumei, who had always been wary of the Li family's obstruction, breathe a sigh of relief, but Xiao Xiwei pursed her lips and smiled noncommittally about all this.

On the second day after taking a concubine, Xiao Min took his leave and returned to Pingcheng.

On this day, Xiao Xiwei was leaning on the Luohan bed and flipping through the account book.

The pale golden sunlight outside the window reflected her lowered eyebrows, quiet and beautiful like a quiet painting.

But the picture was quickly broken.

"What is there to see in these ledgers! Let's go, my brother will take you to see strange things! Xiao Xiyang stretched out his hand and pulled out the account book in Xiao Xiwei's hand and said with a smile.

"No, no." Xiao Xi shook his head slightly, raised his hand and wanted to snatch the account book back, Xiao Xi raised his hand and dodged.

"Aren't you bored all day in the house?"

"Stuffy. However, I am more afraid of heat. Seeing that he couldn't get the account book back, Xiao Xiwei simply picked up the cold mung bean soup on the table and took a sip leisurely.

"Oh, what kind of heat are you afraid of at such a young age!" Xiao Xiyang simply pulled Xiao Xiwei over and walked out the door.

Before Xiao Xiwei could react, he was dragged out of the waiting house by Xiao Xiyang.

Outside, there were already horse-drawn carriages waiting there.

Xiao Xiyang pushed Xiao Xiwei into the carriage, turned over and jumped onto a white horse, "Let's go, go to Rongxing Pavilion." As he spoke, he put his legs between the horse's backs and walked ahead first.

Looking at Xiao Xiyang's back, Xiao Xile shook his head helplessly.

Rongxing Pavilion is the largest restaurant in the capital, and most of the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing like to gather in Rongxing Pavilion.

When the carriage arrived at Rongxing Pavilion, Xiao Xiwei took a veil to cover his face and helped Hongyu's hand get out of the carriage.

The atmosphere in Beijing is not very open, although women can go out, but everywhere they go should avoid suspicion, civilian women are still, the daughter of the noble family generally goes out with a veil to cover her face, and she has to take a maid to avoid being bumped into.

At the table in the middle of the Rongxing Pavilion, a young man dressed in gray burlap sat with his chest crossed, a plate of debris in front of him, surrounded by a large crowd of people.

"Brother Xiang, I'm here again!" Xiao Xiyang walked up to the young man and said with a smile on his face.

The young man didn't raise his eyebrows, "Old rules." ”

Xiao Xiyang smiled, and happily took out fifty taels of silver and put it on the table, "The silver is here, but this time it's not me and you." With that, he turned around and pulled Xiao Xiwei over, "This time it's her who is with you." ”

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows and twisted his heart, glaring at Xiao Xiyang with some annoyance. This hot day brought her out just so that she could play chess with others? It's just that when she saw the young man's face clearly, she changed her mind in an instant.

Although his face was still a little childish at the moment, she still recognized him. Although he is unknown now, ten years later, he is Chu Xizhi's right-hand man, the youngest prime minister in the history of the entire Dayue Kingdom. And his other secret identity is the abandoned concubine of Ping An Bo, and his mother is the daughter of the Xiang family who was killed for participating in the rebellion of the Six Kings. If it is really discussed, he can still have a little relationship with Zhongyong Houfu, because the second aunt of Zhongyong Houfu, Xiang Shi, is Xiang Mingxuan's cousin.

She didn't think about it back then, but now that she thinks about it, since Xiang Mingxuan's mother was driven out of the mansion by Ping'an Bo because of the rebellion of the Six Kings, then the second aunt's life in the mansion was not easy to do, and the incident that happened later was even more intolerable by her father, and even Xiao Xichun, who had just been born not long ago, was implicated.

She also told her Xiang Mingxuan's life experience when Chu Xizhi was drunk by chance, and said that he won his trust by playing chess with Xiang Mingxuan in the restaurant back then, and asked him to support him all the way until he ascended to the throne.

Unexpectedly, the restaurant that Chu Xizhi said was actually Rongxing Pavilion. This is really crooked.

If she had rushed to woo Xiang Mingxuan before Chu Xi at this time, then Chu Xi would not have a lot of right-hand men. Even if he can't win him over, at least he can't let Chu Xizhi win him over.

"I don't go down with women." Xiang Mingxuan glanced at Xiao Xiwei coldly, and then spit out a sentence coldly.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "Doesn't the son look down on women?" ”

Xiang Mingxuan pursed his lips and did not speak.

"In ancient times, Mulan joined the army for her father, and then Mu Guiying took command of the battle, and Liang Hongyu of the former dynasty cleverly defeated the enemy soldiers! Which of them is worse than the man? Even if you don't talk about these heroines, take ordinary women as an example, if you don't have their virtuous housekeepers, how can you men be at ease to run your career outside? Look at the child's confidence in this Rongxing Pavilion to set up a chess game for fifty taels and wait for someone to crack it, it should be different from ordinary men, but I didn't expect it...... It's okay if you don't play this chess. The corners of Xiao Xi's lips hooked up a sarcastic smile, raised his hand and picked up the fifty taels of silver that Xiao Xiyang had placed on the table, and turned around.

"Sister." Xiao Xiyang hurriedly pressed Xiao Xiwei's hand and winked at her.

It was not easy for him to bring her here, how could he return in vain.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly and turned his head, "Xiang Gongzi, your mother is also a woman, do you also look down on her?" "Let's just turn around and leave.

Xiang Mingxuan's face sank.

Xiao Xiyang sighed in his heart, it's over, this time Wei'er will definitely offend this Xiang Mingxuan, and the sword he covets is afraid that he will never have a chance to get it again.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Mingxuan stood up suddenly, "Girl, please stay." ”

"What? Childe still has something to say? Xiao Xi turned his face slightly.

Xiang Mingxuan waved his right hand slightly, and made a 'please' gesture, "Girl, please take a seat." ”

Or if you are someone else, you are afraid that you will have turned your face and left long ago, and you will not sit back again no matter what. However, the person on the front side was Xiao Xiwei, and the one opposite was Xiang Mingxuan who she wanted to woo, so she didn't hesitate at all, and simply came back and sat opposite Xiang Mingxuan, and raised her hand to lift the veil.

Xiang Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I didn't expect the woman in front of me to act neatly and neatly, without the slightest arrogance, and look at her face without fat powder, bent eyebrows and apricot eyes, beautiful and vulgar, by no means comparable to ordinary women, I don't have a good feeling in my heart, and I don't feel so disgusted with playing chess with her.

Xiao Xiwei stared at the chessboard seriously for a long time, and finally raised his hand to pick up a white grain and put it on the chessboard without hesitation.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Xiao Xiyang only hated that his hands were slow, looking at the chessboard, Xiao Xiwei fell and committed suicide, and his heart hurt so much that he was about to drip steady blood.

His sword!

Xiang Mingxuan first glanced at Xiao Xiwei in surprise, but when he looked at the chess game again, he found that the game had changed in some microseconds. Bai Zi, who was originally restrained everywhere, committed suicide, but the rest of Bai Zi suddenly had room to maneuver, but that room was also a few steps away at night.

Raising his hand, Xiang Mingxuan dropped another sunspot.

Before he could raise his hand, Xiao Xiwei followed closely with a grain of white.

He glanced at Xiao Xiwei in surprise.

Doesn't she even have to think about it?

Looking at the chessboard, the originally decadent chess game was delayed by a few steps.

Xiang Mingxuan frowned, thought for a while, and then fell into the sunspot again.

Like last time, as soon as his black son fell, Xiao Xiwei's white son fell again. And this fall also delayed the situation by a few steps.

At this time, Xiang Mingxuan's original contempt for Xiao Xiwei was gone. He was engrossed, didn't dare to drag it down any longer, and thought for a long time before he fell behind. But no matter how he fell, Xiao Xiwei could follow him and fall quickly, without even thinking about it.

Xiang Mingxuan's brows tightened more and more, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from his forehead.

Since Xiang Mingxuan played a chess game in Rongxing Pavilion, many Yilin masters in Beijing have been defeated, and no one has ever let Xiang Mingxuan show such an expression.

For a while, everyone gathered around and watched the two play intently.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Xiang Mingxuan took the lead in throwing down the sunspot in his hand and got up and raised his hand slightly towards Xiao Xi, "Girl, admit defeat in the next place." After that, he handed the sword beside him to Xiao Xiwei, "This sword belongs to the girl." ”

Seeing Xiang Mingxuan admit defeat and take out the sword again, Xiao Xiyang's entire eyes lit up.

Xiao Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tense nerves immediately relaxed, but she stood up but did not reach out to take the sword handed over to Ming Xuan. "Xiang Gongzi is humble, this game is a draw, and I didn't win."

"For me, if you don't win, you lose." Xiang Mingxuan was concise and to the point.

"Don't hide it from Childe, I knew from the beginning that I couldn't win this game of chess, so I would quickly make a move in order to break the rhythm of Childe's chess and find flaws in it in the hope of a draw." Xiao Xi said slightly.

With her chess skills, she will definitely not be able to play against Xiang Mingxuan, so she can only be opportunistic. But if Xiang Mingxuan ten years later, he would not be disturbed by her small actions, but now it is him ten years ago.

The crowd watching the chess scene suddenly realized.

"At the end of the day, it's because I don't have enough concentration." A strange color flashed in Xiang Mingxuan's eyes. "Please take this sword."

Xiang Mingxuan's eyes were firm.

Xiao Xi smiled, "If Childe doesn't mind, I want to get back the silver I just gave to Childe." ”

Xiang Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he meant.

"I didn't win Childe, but Childe didn't beat me either. So, I got my money back, and Childe got Childe's sword back. That's fair to all of us, isn't it? Xiao Xi said with a smile.

Xiang Mingxuan's sword only looked at the scabbard and knew that it was not ordinary, if it was about silver, it would definitely be more than fifty taels, and Xiao Xiwei actually refused like this.

There was a lot of amazement all around, and everyone's faces were surprised.

Seeing that the sword in his hand was pushed out like this, Xiao Xiyang only felt that his heart was bleeding straight from pain. He gritted his teeth and whispered in Xiao Xiwei's ear, "Sister, do you know the goods!" The name of the sword is Qiushui, the blade is like autumn frost, cutting gold and jade, even if you have silver, you can't buy it! ”

"You want?" Xiao Xi turned his face slightly to look at Xiao Xiyang.

Xiao Xiyang nodded hurriedly.

"Then you go and play chess by yourself and win, isn't it okay for Xiang Gongzi?" Xiao Xi smiled.

Xiao Xiyang's face froze.

If he can win, will he need to get her out?

"Girl, since I have set up a gambling game here, I am naturally willing to gamble and lose." Xiang Mingxuan spoke again. Although he was dressed in cloth, he had his own bearing, and he didn't wait for Xiao Xiwei to answer, put the sword on the table, turned around and left.
