Xiao Junhe was at a loss for a moment, holding Ah Yan nervously, not knowing how to coax the child, after all, ...... He was a father for the first time.

"Your Majesty can try to tease the little prince." The Queen Mother smiled and spoke.

Looking at Xiao Junhe's clumsy appearance, Shen Bozhong also smiled. "When Ning Er was a child, I was appointed to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and I came back for a few months, and when I returned to the house, Xiao A-Ning, who was only a little more than a year old, didn't know me anymore, and I cried so much that it was like meeting a flood beast."

Liu Anning glanced at Shen Bozhong, it was indeed not easy for him to bring Shen Ning up alone.

"To ...... How to coax. The emperor looked at Shen Bozhong with a look of incomprehension.

Shen Bozhong raised his hand, patted the little guy's back, and teased him with his eyes.

Sure enough, Xiao Ayan smiled, and the smile was very cute.

Xiao Junhe held the obedient little guy in his arms, there was still a smell of milk on his body, and his skin was smooth and tender, so he didn't dare to hold it hard.

gradually became familiar with the breath on Xiao Junhe's body, and Xiao Ayan stopped crying.

"Queen Mother, I borrowed the little thing for an hour." Xiao Junhe looked at Liu Anning, raised his hand and stretched out a finger, just for an hour.

Liu Anning smiled and nodded. "Take it away, I'll let Mama Hui follow you, if the little prince is hungry and crying, take it back."

The emperor nodded, and walked away with the little one in his arms.

also left room for Shen Bozhong and the Queen Mother to be alone.

Shen Bozhong stood in place and cleared his throat. "It's a good day, do you want to play chess?"

Liu Anning sighed, Shen Bozhong is really still the same Shen Bozhong as before, and he has not changed.

"Didn't you hate playing chess with me the most before, calling me stupid? Don't have talent? Liu Anning snorted, laughing a little deeply.

In the past, when she was still in the boudoir, she liked to sneak out dressed as a man and follow Shen Bozhong to brush her sense of existence.

He plays chess, she makes trouble, he strokes the piano, she dances the sword.

"Look at the years and see if your chess skills have improved." Shen Bozhong smiled and walked to the chessboard table in the courtyard and sat down.

The palace maid brought the chessboard, put down the chess pieces and retreated.

"White or sunspot?" Shen Bozhong asked Liu Anning to choose first.

Liu Anning was silent and spoke for a long time. "White ......"

In the past, Shen Bozhong didn't like to play chess with her, so he never let her choose.

Seeing that Liu Anning was silent, Shen Bozhong took the initiative to push Bai Zi over. "In the past, I couldn't live with you."

At that time, there was no ability to keep her.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still play chess with Bo Zhong Gongzi." Liu Anning sighed and fell into chess.

Shen Bozhong looked at the chessboard quietly, and went back and forth with Liu Anning.

It turns out that after so many years, some things have long changed.

The daughter of the Liu family, who used to hate playing chess the most, is now proficient in chess.

Over the years, her changes in the palace have been so big that they are distressing.

"You've lost." Liu Anning dropped the last chess piece.

She was finally able to win against Shen Bozhong in chess.

Shen Bozhong smiled and nodded.

Actually, Liu Anning knew that he deliberately let him.

"That night, I had a dream in which we had a misunderstanding to the end. Shen Ning did not marry Xiao Junhe, the emperor is Xiao Chengyin, the Liu family has not fallen, it is your Shen family that has fallen. ”

Liu Anning looked into the distance, his voice a little desolate. "In the dream, I ordered to kill your Shen family, saying that you are a rebellious minister and thief."

Shen Bozhong didn't speak, just looked at Liu Anning quietly.

"Before I put you to death, I played chess with you, and I said, if I win, you will die, and if you win, I will spare your life."

"Over the years, I have been practicing chess skills in the palace, just hoping to beat you one day."

"And then?" Shen Bozhong's voice was hoarse. "In the dream, did I win?"

Liu Anning shook his head. "You lost, you deliberately lost to me, let me kill you."

Liu Anning in the dream thought that Shen Bozhong would rather die than live, so she would fulfill him.

But I don't know that there are too many misunderstandings between them.

Shen Bozhong didn't say anything, just smiled.

Liu Anning looked up at Shen Bozhong. "If I kill you, will you hate me?"

Shen Bozhong shook his head.

People are already dead, how can they still hate.

"You haven't resented me all these years?" Liu Anning obviously didn't believe it.

"I have complained, but I hate myself."

Shen Bozhong got up and put the chess pieces back into the chess box.

Liu Anning got up and hugged Shen Bozhong from behind. "Just let me hold it for a while."

They are no longer young, how many years of life are there to go, why bother to be too attached to the past.

……

Fengluan Palace.

Princess Zhao refused all receptions on the grounds of being unwell, and Huo Sinian came many times, but was turned away.

"Niangniang, this princess of Zhao is too arrogant." Caiyun added oil and vinegar to the side.

Huo Sinian almost broke his palm, snorted, and turned to leave.

"Gone?" In the courtyard, Shen Ning asked.

Chun Tao's nose was red from crying, and she finally returned to Miss.

"Miss! How can you pretend to be the princess of Zhao Kingdom, if this is discovered, those ministers will not be able to trample you to death. Chun Tao wiped her tears while crying.

Shen Ning swallowed the melon seeds and stuffed the snack into Chun Tao's mouth.

Chun Tao stopped crying, chewed two bites, and it was delicious.

"Don't cry, don't be afraid." Shen Ning didn't explain too much, for fear of scaring Chun Tao.

"When you go out in the future, you must wear a veil and make sure that no one finds out." Chun Tao whispered and glanced at the palace maids around her.

Seeing that no one heard, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Ning just smiled and deliberately raised her tone. "I'll wear a veil, don't worry, no one will find out my true identity, these palace maids around me were all brought by Zhao Guo."

Chun Tao was frightened and hurriedly covered Shen Ning's mouth. "Miss! Pitchers have ears. ”

Shen Ning didn't think so.

Outside the courtyard wall, Huo Sinian's ears and eyes overheard the conversation between the two, and he was shocked, and hurriedly ran back to Huo Sinian's residence to report.

"Mother, mother!"

Huo Sinian had just returned to the courtyard, and his face was very unkind.

"...... The minions heard a shocking secret. The eunuch ran to Huo Sinian's side in a panic and whispered in her ear. The slave heard that the princess of Zhao Guo was an impostor, and she was afraid of being recognized, so she kept wearing a veil. ”

Huo Sinian's eyes sank, and the emotions in his eyes were unknown. "Are you sure?"

"Sure, it's true, the woman's voice was so clear that I heard it, saying that she would wear a veil and not be seen."

Huo Sinian raised the corners of his mouth, walked a few steps and laughed. "Hah...... It's true, God is helping this palace. ”

"Xiao Dezi, you did a good job, reward!" Huo Sinian was in a bad mood, so he asked Caiyun to reward Xiao Dezi.

"When is the ceremony of the emperor and the princess of Zhao Kingdom?" The corners of Huo Sinian's mouth rose, obviously he already had an idea.

"The adults of the Tianjian Hall divined, saying that the eighth day of the next month is a good day, and it is advisable to stand later." Caiyun also raised the corners of her mouth and whispered.

"Excellent! During this period of time, let her be comfortable for a few days, and when the ceremony was established and the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, the palace wanted to see what the true face of this impostor was. ”
