On the way back, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan didn't talk much, although they tried their best to be relaxed on their faces, they still showed a bit of solemnity...... しw0。 Shen Qiu was also abnormal, although Luo Tan's temperament was very arrogant, he was also sensitive to sensing that something was wrong, and cautiously did not speak.

After all, today is to offend Princess Ming'an, that is, to offend the prince of Qin. As soon as the Shen family came back, they were pushed to the forefront, although Shen Xin tried his best to avoid it, but it was like an invisible hand behind his back, and he always pushed the Shen family out. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan are not afraid of possible difficulties, but today it was Shen Miao who came forward, and what they were afraid of was that Princess Ming'an hated Shen Miao and stumbled behind her back.

However, things have happened, and the water and earth cover the troops to block, and only better protect Shen Miao and not make any mistakes.

When she returned to the house, Shen Miao went into her yard to freshen up, and it was already a little late. She lit the oil lamp, and Gu Yu saw that she didn't mean to go up to rest, so she said, "The girl is still worried about tonight's affairs?" It's okay, there is the lord and the lady here, and the princess of the Qin Kingdom will not be allowed to come." ”

Shen Miao shook her head. What kind of character Princess Ming'an is, she knows better than others. Princess Ming'an is very selfish and strong, and at the tribute banquet in her previous life, Princess Ming'an was also sorry for her. Just because Princess Ming'an thought that a person as outstanding as Fu Xiuyi was very disdainful of marrying such a vulgar wife as her. Now that the people of Da Liang have changed to King Rui, the most outstanding person in the eyes of Princess Ming'an has become King Rui, but she still hasn't let her go, maybe this is what people say, some people's grudges are destined by God, no matter how many lifetimes have passed.

"Go down. Shen Miao said: "I can't sleep, play chess for a while." ”

Gu Yu wanted to say something, but he was stunned and pulled his sleeves. He said in surprise: "Then the slaves and maids will retreat first, and the girl should not think too much, and when she feels tired, she will rest early, and she will not be tired." It's cold at night, so don't be too late. ”

Shen Miao responded, and the stunned and Gu Yu retreated.

On the small table in front of the table, the chess game was empty, Shen Miao held a white piece in one hand and a black child in the other, playing against himself seriously.

She played seriously, and the days passed slowly, and the chess game gradually changed from black and white to black and white that nothing changed at the beginning, which seemed extremely complicated. And she was also handy at the beginning, and later, every time she left a son, she had to think hard for a long time.

Outside the courtyard, it was quiet, and even the chirping of birds and insects could not be heard, and Dingjing fell into a sweet dream. The breeze was blowing in the yard.

Shen Miao looked at the chess game and let out a sigh of relief.

In the past two years, all forces have taken turns to play, and the arranged chess pieces have also gone to the position where they should go. In some ways, taking the lead doesn't necessarily mean victory. This is a game between her and Fu Xiuyi, but now it seems that she still thinks about some things too simply.

Everything in this world is changing, she is changing, not the one in her previous life, naturally there are other people who will change. The only constant is the changes themselves, and no one can predict what kind of changes these changes will bring to the chess game.

She glanced at the chess game on the table, stood up, walked to the window, and pushed it open. The autumn breeze blowing from the window gave birth to some coolness. The shadow of the tree in front of the window swayed, she looked at it for a while, and then turned around, but the oil lamp in the room had burned out to the last bit, and the candle flame flickered and went out.

When the lights went out, the moonlight flowed into the house like flowing water, illuminating the room brightly. It's a little cooler than the lights.

A "click" sound came from the table. I don't know when there was already a person sitting in front of the chess game, he held a black spot in his hand, and fell on the chess game at will, Fang raised his head and looked at Shen Miao.

The purple and gold robes looked more and more gorgeous in the moonlight, and the lines seemed to have a somewhat familiar look. It was clearly an extremely arrogant posture, but it was blocked by half a silver mask, which made it look a little deep.

The uninvited people in the middle of the night, Shen Miao was not surprised. The window was closed again without changing his face, and the room suddenly became dark again. Shen Miao walked to the table, fumbled for the fire fold, and lit another lamp.

Under the warm yellow halo, the clothes and sideburns are extremely ambiguous. Shen Miao held the lamp in her hand, walked over to the person and sat down.

"Are you waiting for me?" The purple-clothed young man's voice was low, very nice in the night, and it was a little hoarse because of the deliberate suppression, but it was like a lover's whisper in his ear. His voice was also smiling, and it seemed very pleasant.

Shen Miao stared at the mask on his face, even the mask couldn't hide his good appearance, the beautiful chin and red lips were more mysterious and touching because they concealed his true appearance. It is rumored that everyone in the Daliang royal family is beautiful, she has never seen the true appearance of King Rui, but she knows that this person is enough to stand out in terms of elegance alone.

"His Royal Highness knocked three times on the pillar, not to remind the courtiers that the third watch came to pay a visit. The courtiers did not dare to disobey. She replied.

When these words came out, Shen Miao saw it clearly, and the person opposite hooked his lips and said, "It's so smart." ”

His attitude is clearly frivolous and even a little romantic, but for some reason, it always makes people feel a little distant. As if he knew the indifference and cruelty in this person's bones. Shen Miao looked at him quietly and said, "Does Your Highness have anything to say to your courtiers?"

The young man in purple casually picked up a black spot in the chess basket and played with it, holding the black spot with a slender and white face, showing more and more exquisite beauty. He glanced at the chess game and said, "The chess game is interesting, little girl, the world has been put in the chess game by you, I don't know where Da Liang is?"

It turned out to be a glance to break through, and this chess game reflected the Mingqi pattern in front of him.

Shen Miao didn't say anything.

His voice was lazy and a little careless: "This king sees you at the tribute banquet today, and it seems that he is an old acquaintance with Princess Ming'an. Have you seen Princess Ming'an?"

Shen Miao's heart tightened, she naturally knew Princess Ming'an, and today's performance was not at all suspicious except for Huangfu Hao. One is the princess of Qin, the other is the official lady of Mingqi, Qin and Mingqi are thousands of miles apart, and Princess Ming'an is the first time to come to Mingqi, and no one will connect her with Princess Ming'an at all. But this sentence of the person in front of him almost ruthlessly tore open the surface and exposed the truth in front of him.

What did he find, what did he find? Or did he just notice that something was wrong by the number of faces at the feast. If it's the latter, then the man in front of him is really terrible.

But her eyebrows did not move, her fingers in her sleeves clenched slightly, but a smile appeared on her face.

"Unfortunately, the courtiers have never seen Princess Ming'an, but they are old acquaintances with His Royal Highness King Rui. ”

The young man in purple looked at her sideways, suddenly propped his hands on the table, leaned forward to approach Shen Miao, and whispered in her ear, "Oh?

Shen Miao looked at the person close at hand, his breathing was gentle, but the golden buttons were cold, the corners of his lips were smiling, but his eyes were a little indifferent. This is a man who doesn't know if it's fire or ice, and there is danger all over his body, he is attractive enough, but Shen Miao instinctively wants to avoid it.

The pair of dark, deep eyes staring at her, she lowered her head, avoided the other party's meaningful eyes, stared at the delicate buttons embroidered with patterns in front of her, and said lightly: "Don't come to harm, Xie Jingxing." ”

The air seemed to be still for a moment, and in the oil lamp, the sparks burned and made a small "crackling" sound, and a small light fell down, and disappeared for a moment like a spark in the dark night.

Shen Miao raised her head and looked at him.

The purple-clothed young man smiled faintly and looked at Shen Miao, the shadows of the two were reflected on the ground, showing a lingering posture, as if he was kissing Shen Miao with his head sideways.

He slowly withdrew his hand and sat back in his place, his voice still pleasant, and he said, "Don't come to harm's way, Shen Miao." ”

The young man in purple reached out and lifted the mask on his face.

The sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, the starry eyes are affectionate, the nose is like a hanging gall, and the lips are like grease. It seems that yesterday was a beautiful young man with red lips and white teeth, and after two years, he is a really handsome and beautiful man, the smile on the corner of his lips is as always slightly mocking and stubborn, but there is no more arrogance and arrogance of a teenager in his eyes.

It was a deeper palpitation, like a dark night, beautiful by the starlight, but chilled by the darkness. His dignity and elegance were brought into full play two years later, and his every move had the natural arrogance of a nobleman, as cold and cold as the clear moon, but as dazzling as the scorching sun.

Without the imprisonment and checks and balances of identity, Xie Jingxing, who appeared again, and Xie Jingxing, who no longer converged his light, is so dazzling that people can't ignore it no matter what.

He looked at Shen Miao with a smile, and said in an ambiguous tone: "I haven't seen you for two years, who gave you the courage to call me by name?"

He said so, but after all, he replaced "this king" with "me".

Shen Miao said: "Now you are not the little marquis of the Marquis Mansion of Lin'an in Mingqi, I don't like to call you by your name, and it is okay to call you King Rui." Finally, there was some irony in the words, from the little marquis of the Marquis Mansion of Lin'an in Ming Qi to the younger brother of Emperor Yongle in Da Liang, Xie Jingxing did run a little wrong this time.

But Shen Miao said politely, but underestimated Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing smiled lazily and said, "If you have to call me by name, I don't have to." But I forgot to tell you that Xie Yuan is my real name, Jing Xing is my character, and when you call me Xie Jingxing, you are calling me Xiao Zi ....... Why, when I grew up, I became a lot more enthusiastic. The smile on the corner of his lips was vicious and frivolous: "Between you and me, it has reached the level of calling small characters?"

Shen Miao glared at him angrily.

In addition to relatives, only lovers and husbands and wives will call small print. Shen Miao didn't expect that Xie Jingxing changed his identity, and Jingxing turned out to be his little character. Speaking of which, she remembered at this time that the Yongle Emperor of Da Liang was also surnamed Xie, and the royal family of the Liang Dynasty was the Xie family.

What a coincidence.

Xie Jingxing poured himself tea and drank it, after two years, Shen Xin moved out of the General's Mansion and opened another house, Xie Jingxing came uninvited, and his action of being at home was still the same as always. It seems that as two years ago, this Shen Mansion comes and goes as freely as his own yard. He took a sip of tea, glanced at Shen Miao, who was angry, and seemed to find it very interesting, and said, "Etiquette, what do you want me to call you, Jiaojiao?"

The delicate voice is the fragrance of the people's teeth and cheeks, and Xie Jingxing's beauty is moving, if it is an ordinary woman, I am afraid that she will not be able to find the north for a long time. Shen Miao was also shouted and her whole body was hot, she thought, Xie Jingxing is this, but he is not the identity of the royal family, and if he is a little man in a small pavilion, he can probably live a good life, and maybe he can be famous all over the world.

"What are you thinking?" Xie Jingxing asked.

"I'm thinking that you are so beautiful, even the top brand in the small pavilion can't be compared, no wonder you have to wear a mask to cover it. Shen Miao deliberately angered him.

Xie Jingxing was choked, he didn't know what he thought, and his lazy expression stiffened for a moment. Shen Miao saw him like this, and his heart was extremely happy. Before she could speak, Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, "You're worried about me so much, it seems that you like me very much?"

Shen Miao said: "Does King Rui know how to write the four words of self-made affection?" was disgusted by Xie Jingxing's "small characters", and it was not good to call Xie Xiaohou Ye again, Shen Miao simply replaced it with the cold "Rui Wang", which obviously meant to draw a clear line.

"When you hugged me and kissed me, you weren't so ruthless. He said.

Shen Miao stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief, but she didn't know this appearance, like a deer born in a mountain stream, her black eyes were clear and round, and she was very delicate.

She said, "What do you mean by that?"

Xie Jingxing reached out and pinched her face, he moved too fast, Shen Miao couldn't dodge, and when he reacted, Xie Jingxing had already withdrawn his hand, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that you can't remember, on the first night you left Beijing, I said goodbye to you." ”

Shen Miao was stunned, and looked at him without speaking.

Xie Jingxing sighed: "Sure enough, I don't recognize people after drinking." You don't remember what you did to me?"

Shen Miao's face showed a tangled look.

As the saying goes, drinking is disorderly, and drinking is wrong. She actually drank quite a bit, but the plum blossom brew that night was too intoxicating. In order to prevent herself from saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing to attract suspicion, she avoided everyone and slept alone in a room, without thinking about it...... Xie Jingxing has been here?

"King Rui laughed, I am friends with King Rui, what can I do?" Shen Miao suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, but her face was calm. But she knows very little about men and women, and she blindly flattered Fu Xiuyi in her previous life, let alone know what men think, in this regard, she is really immature as a blank slate. And dealing with a black-hearted person like Xie Jingxing is really ruthless.

Xie Jingxing smiled, and was not in a hurry to argue, and said unhurriedly: "You seem to want to be a queen, and when you are drunk, you have to drag Gonggong Li to watch the fireworks, and you have to ask the prince and princess to accompany you." He looked at Shen Miao with interest: "Empress Shen?"

Shen Miao was drinking tea in disguise, and almost squirted out!

I haven't heard this name for many years, Shen Miao almost thought she was dreaming for a moment, but she was afraid that the reality of being full of flowers and relatives after rebirth was just a beautiful dream, and after waking up from the dream, she was still in that cold palace, step by step towards the end of the death of the child.

Shen Miao's whole body stiffened, and she had to admit a fact. originally thought that Xie Jingxing deliberately deceived her like this, but now it seems that Xie Jingxing really came that night, and really saw her when she was drunk. Otherwise, Xie Jingxing is not an immortal, how could he know so many things......? How much did she say, how much did Xie Jingxing listen, Xie Jingxing was so smart, how many did he guess?

Her uneasy look fell on Xie Jingxing's eyes, Xie Jingxing's eyes darkened, but he hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't be so afraid, I have always been tolerant of women." Want to know what you've done to this king?"

"What did I do?" Shen Miao looked at him calmly.

"It's nothing. Xie Jingxing lazily supported his chin with his hand, as if he was thinking, but the words he said were shocking: "You just hugged me and didn't let me go, pressed me and kissed me, crying and shouting to be my queen, and asked me not to snub you." ”

Shen Miao: "......"

"I haven't done anything like that. Shen Miao said. No matter how drunk she is, she won't have any beautiful thoughts about Xie Jingxing. What's more, that style is not her style of acting.

"Do you want to deny it?" Xie Jingxing frowned: "This is not kind, Shen Jiaojiao." ”

"I'll give you silver. Shen Miao immediately decided: "I can compensate you for as much as you want." ”

Xie Jingxing looked at her quietly for a while, and for some reason, Shen Miao felt that there were knives in his eyes, as if Xie Jingxing wanted to kill her. After a while, Xie Jingxing smiled, gritted his teeth and said: "Are you a little boy or a male pet, silver? ”

Shen Miao was silent.

Xie Jingxing took a deep breath and said, "How did you find out?"

Shen Miao was unaware that he changed his words, and said puzzledly: "What?"

Xie Jingxing picked up the mask on the table: "How did you find out my identity? I died in battle two years ago, no matter what, it is not reasonable to guess my identity as soon as we meet." ”

"I guessed it before I saw you. Shen Miao said: "I guessed that you were a person from Da Liang, but I didn't guess that you were from the royal family." Later, when I saw it at the tribute banquet, I vaguely felt familiar, and I dared to guess. ”

When Xie Jingxing heard this, he gradually frowned, looked at Shen Miao, and said, "You guessed it two years ago?"

"That night in Wolong Temple, the little marquis came over to drink tea and eat snacks," Shen Miao's expression was calm: "I was lucky enough to let me eat a little of that snack." ”

Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "So what?"

"Unfortunately," Shen Miao said, "That dim sum seems to be made by the chef of the Daliang royal family, and it tastes very delicious." ”

Xie Jingxing was slightly stunned.

Two years ago, he encountered a scene in Wolong Temple where Shen Miao framed Shen Qing and Prince Yu, and later went to her house with Shen Miao out of interest. Because he was hungry in the middle of the night, he ate some snacks with Shen Miao's tea...... also fed Shen Miao a piece. He himself is doing things in Mingqi, in the end, he is still pampered, and the chef who makes pastries in the Da Liang Dynasty is also by his side, and the bag of pastries is from the hands of the chef of Da Liang.

Xie Jingxing thought of many clues for Shen Miao to guess his identity, but he never expected it to be this. A bag of pastries can even reveal the clues, but ...... His eyes were sharp, he looked at Shen Miao and said, "How do you know that this is made by Chef Da Liang?"

"I ate it once by luck. Shen Miao said.

She did eat it once, and at the tribute banquet of Ming Qi, there would naturally be congratulatory gifts from other countries. As for the pastry, it's just a little gimmick. Emperor Yongle of the Ming Qi Dynasty loved to eat pastries, and the chefs of the royal family were also ingenious, adding fruit juice to the pastries, and the pastries had a fruity aroma. It was a novelty to eat a cold pastry at the tribute banquet, and Shen Miaocai specially made it for Fu Xiuyi a few times, but Fu Xiuyi didn't like sweets, so she gave them directly to her subordinates, and made her sad for a while.

And the pastries that Xie Jingxing ate that night brought the fruity aroma of the royal cakes of the Liang Dynasty, and at that time, there was no tribute, so it was impossible for this pastry to be passed on, and Shen Miao felt strange at that time.

Although Xie Jingxing didn't know where Shen Miao ate this pastry from, he didn't ask much. Just said, "That's all?"

"It's just a fluke. Shen Miao lowered her eyes. Just with a bag of pastries, how could she be sure that Xie Jingxing was a cool person. The real suspicion started from the Gao Yang Gao Imperial Physician who he saw in the palace. She only felt familiar at the time, but then she finally remembered that she had seen this senior doctor. At the tributary banquet in the previous life, the people sent by Da Liang were a prince and an important minister. That important minister is a well-known think tank in Da Liang, and Fu Xiuyi also asked Pei Lang to pay more attention to this person, it was none other than Gao Yang. Gao Yang's identity at that time was not a Gao Taiyi, but a courtier of Da Liang. And that day in the Ming Qi Palace, she saw a kind of unobtrusive familiarity between Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang, plus the previous pastries, she also thought of it more or less.

Later, she went to the northwest, and the news of Xie Jingxing's death came. After the previous shock, Shen Miao slowly calmed down. In the previous life, Xie Jingxing should not have gone on the expedition at this time, but in the previous life and this life, Xie Jingxing had the same ending, Shen Miao didn't believe in fate, not to mention that with her understanding of Xie Jingxing in this life, a powerful person like Xie Jingxing would die so miserably, she didn't believe it.

If Xie Jingxing was planning something with this step, she would still believe it. If the war death can start over with a new identity, without all possible troubles, it is in line with the neat and neat character of the person in front of him. You must know that with the identity of the little marquis of Lin'an Mansion, he can't support Xie Jingxing's ambitions.

What was his ambition, Shen Miao's gaze fell on the black and white chessboard, and a trace of horror flashed in his heart.

"You've been lucky. Xie Jingxing looked at her for a long time.

"But......" Shen Miao hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you become the Rui King today?"

Xie Jingxing has created a fake identity? If this is the case, his courage is too great, the person who is pretending to be is no one else, it is the royal family of Da Liang, or the younger brother of Emperor Yongle, and it is not enough to die a thousand times if he is discovered. But if it's true...... What was his identity in the previous ten years, and why did he become Xie Ding's son in Mingqi?

"I was originally the Rui King of the Liang Dynasty. Xie Jingxing said: "Now the thing is returned to the original owner." ”

Shen Miao's heart moved: "Xie Houye is not your father?"

Xie Jingxing smiled disdainfully: "Lin'anhou, why is he qualified to be my father?"

That is, Xie Jingxing is not Xie Ding's biological son. Shen Miao felt more and more shocked in her heart, Xie Jingxing's identity could probably involve a lot of things, and these things, she had never paid attention to in her previous life. Shen Miao suddenly thought that in his previous life, Fu Xiuyi spared no effort to suppress Xie Jingxing, and even did not hesitate to arrange his people in the Xie family's army, and finally let Xie Jingxing die in the hands of his own people, the Xie family's father and son were all horse leather shrouds, and the Xie family had no descendants except Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao, was it really because the Fu family wanted to attack the Xie family's high merit, or Fu Xiuyi had also discovered that Xie Jingxing's identity was wrong. Fu Xiuyi wants to ...... Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?

Her expression was so clear that Xie Jingxing saw it in her eyes, her eyes were deep, but her smile became more and more gentle. His appearance is good, handsome and gorgeous are a good blend, both good and evil, but he is very good-looking. He knocked on the table: "I came to see the old man today, you have grown a lot." ”

Shen Miao came back to her senses, looked at him and said, "King Rui is also beautiful now. ”

From the little Marquis Xie of the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion to the current King Rui, Xie Jingxing has become more and more valuable. Originally, he was just in Dingjing City, walking sideways in Mingqi, but now as soon as King Rui's reputation comes out, he is afraid that he will go to heaven.

"Are you satisfied?" Xie Jingxing raised his lips and smiled: "With honor?"

Shen Miao's eyebrows were dignified: "The courtiers are from Mingqi, King Rui is from Da Liang, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, how can he be honored?"

Xie Jingxing picked up the mask on the table and put it back on for himself. The silver mask fits his features perfectly, and instead of obscuring his light, it makes him even more bewitching because of his mysterious night-like temperament.

"That's not what you said when you kissed me. His eyes were more moving than the autumn moon outside, flowing over Shen Miao's body, and said, "Didn't you say that I was your person?"

Shen Miao refused to admit it: "King Rui remembered it." ”

"Help you remember later. Xie Jingxing stood up, and the corner of his purple robe crossed the table, disrupting the game of chess.

He said, "I'll see you next time, Shen ...... Jiaojiao. ”

Shen Miao: "......"

Xie Jingxing swept out of the window. Shen Miao looked at his back, thinking that after tomorrow, he would ask Shen Qiu to arrange a few more guards at the gate of the courtyard. Anyway, many of the people living in this house are masters, Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan and Shen Qiu are still people who have been in the army, so they are not even half vigilant. It's a joke to let people come and go freely in the house.

Outside the window, on the side of the street on the courtyard wall of the Shen house, there was a man in purple walking. At the third watch, the streets were empty, only the man and the guards behind him, elongated in the moonlight.

The moonlight could not hide the light, and the silver mask also shone brightly. The guard behind him said, "The master looks in a good mood." ”

said that he was seeing an old man, and he came out after entering the Shen Mansion, but he raised his lips from beginning to end, and he didn't know what happy things he heard, so happy.

The young man glanced at the guards, the gold thread on his sleeve was faint, and the brocade clothes were also heroic at night. His eyes seemed to be smiling, and his voice was as pleasant and moving as a spring breeze.

"It's nice to meet interesting people. ”

------Off topic------

Do you think Brother Xie is handsome again?
