"I think it's very good, too." His Royal Highness looked at the chessboard on the stone table, and echoed lightly.

Wei Ning was a little reluctant, but he didn't expect the fifth princess to directly use her to deal with Xiao Wanxin.

However, two distinguished people said in unison, so don't blame her for bullying and insulting her in the end.

"Mrs. Gu, I have been proficient in chess since I was a child, and I have studied with a famous old gentleman in Beijing for a few years, are you sure you want to play against me?"

Xiao Wanxin raised her jade wrist and straightened her sideburns, and glanced at Wei Ning with a slanted look, her eyes were quite inferior.

Before her mother let her enter the palace, she said that if she married the Fifth Highness as a concubine, and the Fifth Highness succeeded her as the emperor in the future, she would be the queen of the Middle Palace, and she would enjoy endless glory and wealth.

So knowing that His Royal Highness likes to play chess, she practiced hard in order to gain his appreciation.

But the Fifth Highness didn't give her a chance to show it, if this Mrs. Gu played chess with her, she would definitely lose a lot, wouldn't that impress the Fifth Highness?

"I also happen to have no chess opponents, since Miss Xiao is a chess master, I can also be ugly." Wei Ning's face was calm and calm, and he didn't flinch.

This Xiao Wanxin is inevitably too confident, and if she cries after losing for a while, it will be her sin.

"Mrs. Gu, this princess is optimistic about you." Princess Lehua patted Wei Ning on the shoulder, it seems that she is not wrong, she has extinguished the prestige of the Xiao family!

Xiao Wanxin set up the chessboard and smiled arrogantly: "Okay, Wanxin is welcome!" ”

His Royal Highness's gaze flowed shallowly on the chessboard like water, and the color of his eyes was exceptionally clear.

However, at the beginning, Xiao Wan was so anxious that she asked the palace maid to hand over the silk handkerchief to wipe her sweat, her palms were wet with sticky sweat, and the tension in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"You!" This game of chess was no more than half a cup of tea, and Miss Xiao Er had been repelled so much that she had no children to play, and her hand was stopped in mid-air, and she stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief and shock.

I didn't expect this Mrs. Gu to be so powerful! Not even the old gentleman who used to be a chess master!

The whole process of the board game, the five highnesses were meticulous in their eyes, and there was a faint appreciation on their faces.

Princess Lehua didn't know anything about chess, although she couldn't understand how the chess pieces fell, but just looking at Miss Xiao's increasingly ugly face, she felt very relieved.

Princess Lehua mocked: "It seems that Miss Xiao is not very talented!" Fang Cai's words are funny! ”

When Xiao Wanxin heard this, she was so ashamed that she suddenly stood up, her fingers tightly grasped her dress, she bit her lip and said to His Royal Highness in a low voice: "Wanxin has taken a step in advance, Your Highness Princess is not strange." ”

Wei Ning had already withdrawn his hand, Xiao Wanxin only felt embarrassed after saying that, and she couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to get into, and her body was stiff and embarrassed and walked away quickly.

Princess Lehua burst out laughing, and a group of palace maids beside her also laughed as if they were laughing at a joke.

"Shaw's daughter is nothing more than that! Looks like I'm overestimating her! ”

At this time, His Royal Highness, who had been silent for a long time, rarely spoke: "Mrs. Gu is good at chess, I admire it." ”

Princess Lehua took the lead and said: "This Mrs. Gu is my nobleman, and the fifth brother is discerning, knowing that Miss Xiao Er is not talented, and he doesn't want to pay attention to her." ”

"Why don't you come to the palace more often in the future and play chess with my cold fifth brother? lest he always have a hard time meeting the opponent. ”

Wei Ning was a little surprised, he originally planned to enter the palace to please Princess Lehua and pave the way for his future, but as for this Fifth Highness, he didn't think about stammering yet.

The ending of the fifth highness of the original book is not good, as a bystander, approaching such a person will inevitably cause harm to himself.

Princess Lehua hurriedly said, "Mrs. Gu? What does Princess Ben say to you? Can you say yes? ”

"Yes, it's better to be respectful than to obey." Wei Ning still responded, and when she saw the hint of expectation in the young man's eyes, she softened her heart a little.

After all, he's a lovely person!

The changes in the original book include the involvement of fake silver tickets, which does not overlap with the plot of the original book, as long as the big ending in the book remains unchanged, then the ending of this young son of heaven in the future may not be bad.

After leaving the palace and returning to the Gu Mansion, it happened that the Qin family privately asked the personal maid to send five hundred taels of silver tickets, and Yuyan went to the paper mill and brought back what Wei Ning wanted.

There is no difference between these small and small silver tickets and the silver tickets circulating in the market on the surface, but a careful comparison can reveal that the printed patterns of the fake silver tickets are slightly different.

Yuyan was very angry: "Madam, if you hadn't known that there was a difference between true and fake, it would have been difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between these fake silver tickets!" I went to the street to buy as my wife instructed, but no one saw it! ”

"These people naturally do their best in order to make profits!" Wei Ning also hated the villain's troubles, and clutched the fake silver ticket and said indignantly.

Moreover, if the dowry given by the Zhang family to the original owner is taken care of, then it will be difficult to avoid dealing with Daqi's business, if the fake silver ticket does not happen, then the fake silver ticket will circulate to the market, and the Wei family will also be one of the victims.

Yuyan asked angrily, "Madam, what should we do next?" Do you want to go to the government to expose the second lady? ”

"Don't startle the snake for the time being," Wei Ning thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I think there must be someone behind the second lady, with the power of the Gu family or the power of the Qin family, they will not be so presumptuous." ”

The plot in the original book rarely mentions the Gu family and the Wei family, but more about how the heroine Xiao Lanxin became the wife of Rong Daquan from a lowly concubine, and some other things involved are the political struggle between the powerful ministers and Yu Wuhou in the Daqi court.

Besides, who else would dare to act recklessly at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

Wei Ning quickly recalled the things in the book, and seemed to ignore the few traitorous ministers in the book, Yan Zheng, who was the prime minister of the cabinet and the powerful minister, and the promoter of Rong Daquan's minister, and finally died under the sword of Yu Wuhou because of rebellion.

However, it is only an inference, and it is not certain whether this Lord Yan is the initiator.

The fake silver tickets in his hand must be disposed of as soon as possible, and all the fake silver tickets of the Qin family and the paper were delivered to Wei Lan's hands.

After nightfall, the sky was slightly dark, the lights in the Qiyu Pavilion were turned off early, and there was silence under the corridor, and suddenly there were light footsteps approaching.

"Ziling, is Madam asleep?" Ning Lu passed under the porch with a lantern and greeted the maid who was sitting at the threshold guarding the door.

The maid in Tsing Yi yawned and replied: "Yes, Madame has been sleeping early these days, and Sister Yuyan has just fallen asleep serving Madame, but you have something to do with Madame?" ”

Ning Lu's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly explained: "I asked casually, and I didn't see Sister Yuyan, I'm afraid that Madame will have no one to serve." ”

"I see, Madame treats us well, we are so idle on weekdays, you go and rest, something will call you." Ziling stretched lazily and lazily, and didn't think about a few words back.

Ning Lu didn't speak again, secretly glanced at the window of the Qiyu Pavilion, and walked away with the lantern.

The back door of the north courtyard of the Gu Mansion quietly opened, and two black-clothed shadows slipped out and went straight to the carriage that had been prepared on the side of the street.

"Hurry up, I'm going to rush back to the house from the Grange before dawn tomorrow morning!" Yuyan helped Madame into the carriage and immediately instructed the coachman.
