Chapter 134: Nine Links
Lou Shu's breath was suffocated, and he unconsciously held the chess pieces in his palm, he actually heard a lot of this. When he was in the song workshop, he always lowered his head and tried to reduce his sense of existence, but Zhao Chengxi's words did not disgust him when he heard this, he only felt that his heartbeat was so strong that he didn't even have the ability to think
In fact, Lou Shu has only seen Zhao Chengxi once, and after entering the palace, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, and he has never dared to look directly at Zhao Chengxi. Even so, Lou Shu remembered Zhao Chengxi's appearance clearly. Even if he is allowed to paint it alone now, he can draw it vividly, without any difference.
Now goodbye to Zhao Chengxi, Lou Shu once again portrayed Zhao Chengxi's appearance in his heart. His black hair was meticulously tied on top of his head by a jade crown. His skin was tinted a faint crimson, like clouds that lingered after the sun had set. His eyebrows are extremely good-looking, with a slight smile at this time, and his eyebrows and eyes are crooked, as if they hide the sun, moon and stars.
He is the son of heaven of Tanglin.
Lou Shu realized this, retracted his gaze in a panic, and bowed his head silently.
"You're pretty good-looking."
When Lou Shu heard this, his face turned red, and his head hung lower, missing the cunning in Zhao Chengxi's eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Chengxi only found it interesting: "You don't have to be so careful, I am not a tiger, I don't eat people." ”
"The minions obey."
"It's your turn." Zhao Chengxi secretly reminded.
Lou Shu found that the chess pieces in his hand were wet with sweat, so he wiped them on his robe at will, and after two glances at the chessboard, he fell off.
Zhao Chengxi's heart is simply a drum in unison, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the flowers are violet. He was really very bold, and I just said a few casual words, and he was so frightened that his face turned red, and as I expected, it was very easy to scare.
Zhao Chengxi didn't show it on his face, and he said casually: "You lost." ”
Lou Shu did not doubt him, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, and the slave is convinced." ”
Zhao Chengxi obviously has to pretend to be calm, it is not easy: "You have to continue to work hard...... Haha"
Well, can't help it......
Xiao Lianzi had already returned from dealing with the affairs of the Teaching Workshop Division, and when he saw that Zhao Chengxi had already played chess, he said: "Your Majesty, the imperial dining room has prepared lotus seed soup, why don't you eat a bowl to cool off?" ”
Zhao Chengxi nodded, pointed to Lou Shu and said, "Okay, try it for him too." ”
Xiao Lianzi agreed to go down.
"Minion Xie Your Majesty."
Zhao Chengxi saw that Lou Shu wanted to get up, and hurriedly said, "No need to thank you." ”
The weather is getting hotter, and after winning a game of chess, drink a bowl of cold and refreshing lotus seed soup, which can be said to be refreshing.
"Your Majesty, the Protector Mansion has sent a novelty, Your Majesty wants to see it?"
Xiao Lianzi walked over with a tray.
"What's fun? Take a look. ”
Xiao Lianzi stepped forward, and Zhao Chengxi took a look, only to see a string of iron frames with several rings on the tray.
"What is this?" Zhao Chengxi looked dazed.
"Back to Your Majesty, Hou Ye sent someone to say that this is called Nine Rings, which is a folk educational toy in Xishan City, and it is only a success to solve these nine rings. Recently, it was reported to Jingling City, and it was offered to His Majesty to relieve his fatigue. Xiao Lianzi replied.
"Nine Rings?" Zhao Chengxi became interested, picked it up and fiddled around, and suddenly felt a little tricky, "This is interlocking, how can it be solved?" ”
Xiao Lianzi couldn't look at it: "Your Majesty, do you want to pass the Hou Ye into the palace to ask?" ”
Zhao Chengxi shook his head: "That's not possible, I disarmed and surrendered so quickly, wouldn't it give him a chance to watch my jokes?" ”
When Zhao Chengxi was distressed, Lou Shu boldly said, "Your Majesty, can you let the servants try?" ”
"You try."
Zhao Chengxi didn't report hope, so he handed it to Lou Shu. Unexpectedly, these nine links are a piece of cake in Lou Shu's hands. Lou Shu's fingers flicked around, the rings flipped back and forth, and in less than a pillar of incense, the nine rings and the iron frame shaft in the middle were separated.
Zhao Chengxi was dazzled, and sighed in amazement: "Lou Shu, I didn't expect you to do this, it's amazing!" How? ”
"Your Majesty is overrated, the slave is from Xishan, and this nine-link is still taught by the slave's mother when he was a child. Your Majesty, you see, this can be restored. ”
Lou Shu was embarrassed to be praised, and he was unconsciously a little flustered in his hands, many steps were messed up, but fortunately, Zhao Chengxi couldn't see it.
Lou Shu put the nine rings back one by one, restored them and handed them to Zhao Chengxi.
Zhao Chengxi asked curiously: "It turns out that it is played like this, it is indeed very interesting." Is there some mystery to this? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, there are rules and tricks to play these nine links, if Your Majesty wants to know, the minions will tell Your Majesty all of them."
"Yes, yes."
At that time, Qin Chongzhou would definitely be surprised.
Zhao Chengxi couldn't wait to see a stunned expression on Qin Chongzhou's face that had always been neither sad nor happy.
Zhao Chengxi looked geared up and ready to go: "I have to figure it out today." ”
Lou Shu demonstrated and explained at the same time, Zhao Chengxi also listened carefully and learned carefully, about half an hour later, Zhao Chengxi could unravel and restore the nine links alone.
"I see, I've finally succeeded!" Zhao Chengxi was overjoyed.
Xiao Lianzi hurriedly patted his ass: "Your Majesty is really talented!" Learn it as soon as you learn it! ”
"Your Majesty, you are still a little unskilled now, it is better for the slave to write down the solution, if Your Majesty forgets the steps, you can read it at any time."
"Good idea." Zhao Chengxi looked at Lou Shu's eyes with a little more appreciation, "Xiaolianzi, pen and ink are waiting." ”
After Lou Shu left to understand the law, Zhao Chengxi said: "Thanks to you today, what reward do you want, just say." ”
Lou Shu hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Slave thank Your Majesty Longen, if you want to reward, the slave hopes that Your Majesty can give the slave one more chance to play the last song of the first emperor." ”
Today's performance is abnormal, Lou Shu has always been obsessed, he pursues perfection, and he doesn't want to disappoint Zhao Chengxi, he wants another chance.
"How can this be considered a reward? I also wanted to wait for you to heal before listening to you play the piano. ”
"Other than that, the minions want nothing else."
Zhao Chengxi saw that he insisted, and he was not reluctant: "That's good, when you are injured, you will come directly to see me." ”
Lou Shu was satisfied: "Thank you, Lord Longen, the slave will retire." ”
Zhao Chengxi bowed his head, and after the building was cleared away, Zhao Chengxi picked up the white paper on the table, and his handwriting was handsome.
Zhao Chengxi's eyes dimmed slightly: "It's a pity." ”
Xiao Lianzi was puzzled: "What is Your Majesty pity?" ”
"Put it away." Zhao Chengxi threw the paper to Xiao Lianzi, and asked instead of answering: "What do you think of this Lou Shu?" ”
Xiao Lianzi hurriedly and carefully caught the fluttering tissue paper: "Lou Qinshi is a talented and versatile person, that is, ...... It's just a little cowardly. This kind of temperament is naturally the easiest to be bullied in the palace. ”
