After wiping his hands and face with a hot handkerchief, and applying a layer of moisturizing snow plum cream, Chu Liangrao suggested: "Daddy, let's play a game of chess." ”

It was the first time for such an active invitation, Chu Chaoyang was quite fresh, and asked, "When did Auntie become so interested?" ”

Chu Liangrao didn't hear the ridicule in his words, and said with a smile: "But this rule has to be set by me." With a win-winning glint flashing in her eyes, Chu Liangrao wondered if she couldn't play him in Go, could she still play backgammon? Today she must extinguish the prestige of her unscrupulous father.

Listening to Chu Liangrao's rules, Chu Chaoyang smiled: "What's so difficult about this? ”

Chu Liangrao snorted twice in her heart, secretly thinking that she would wait and see.

As a result, after a game, Chu Chaoyang won, Chu Liangrao's eyes blinked and blinked, confirming that the five sunspots on the chessboard were indeed connected in a line, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

Seeing Chu Liangrao eating deflated, Chu Chaoyang was in a happy mood, and he didn't forget to say with a stinky fart: "I'll just say it's not difficult." ”

"Come again, come again." Chu Liangrao's unyielding temperament was aroused, and she played a few more games with Chu Chaoyang, and found that this guy was completely an elite player who could compete with modern computers. Unlike Chu Liangrao, who wanted to make a move, Chu Chaoyang fell on the chessboard one by one, and evolved several possibilities, as if there was a forecast, so that he was particularly handy in playing chess.

Knowing that she was not an opponent, Chu Liangrao had the foresight to ask for a meal first.

Chu Chaoyang didn't know her careful thoughts, but he didn't find a sense of victory in her, so he simply had lunch in Chu Liangrao's house. Although the lunch dishes were light, they were very delicious, and Chu Liangrao drank a small half bowl of clear soup before using the staple food as usual.

After the meal, Chu Chaoyang said a few more words to Chu Liangrao, and then went back to his yard to change clothes.

After exercising during the day, Chu Liangrao slept very sweetly during her afternoon nap.

This Gu family was busy preparing for the New Year, and when Chu Chaoyang entered the house, she only paused with her hand on the jade abacus, and then the sound of a string of beads sounded. Chu Chaoyang changed his clothes, stood behind Gu Shi and watched for a long time, then stretched out his hand and gently pulled off the beads that Gu Shi had dialed wrong.

Seeing Chu Chaoyang correcting himself, Gu Shi looked at him with disgust: "The prince thinks that the concubine is not messy enough?" ”

Chu Chaoyang sat down, took a sip of ginseng tea, and looked up at Gu silently.

Where could the Gu family afford to look at it like this, he was so ashamed that his ears were red, but he couldn't say anything he didn't want.

After a long time, Chu Chaoyang said: "I heard that you haven't been to your mother's place for a few days to say goodbye, but you are not feeling well?" Have you asked a doctor to take a look? ”

It turned out that it was for this matter, Gu Shi was embarrassed, and said, "The concubine is just following the teachings of the prince." ”

Such an unyielding attitude made Chu Chaoyang frown slightly, and left without saying a word.

Gu Shi was so angry that he grabbed the abacus and smashed it to the ground, looking at the jade master scattered all over the ground, Gu Shi hid his face and cried. Mother Lin, who heard the movement, hurriedly walked in, and called Dong Xue to clean up the mess on the ground, and then walked to Gu's side and persuaded: "Princess, be careful of your body." ”

The sad Gu family could not listen to it, and cried more and more. She has been married into the palace for many years, how can she receive such treatment, I thought that the prince did not touch Xia Hua's body because of the love between husband and wife, but I still came to accuse her today. But he didn't want to hold the shelf every time, where did he take care of Chu Chaoyang's face.

She admired Chu Chaoyang's heroic appearance, but when she married him, she wanted him to be her intimate person, and for a long time, the backlog of problems had an irreparable situation.

Mother Lin looked at Jiao Xin and said, "Princess, if you are soft, the prince will definitely be impressed by you." ”

Gu didn't know, but she remembered her mother's teachings to her before she got married: This man can't be wild, if you are soft once, there will be a second time, but if you always hold the shelf, he will only love you, cherish you, and spoil you. After so many years, Gu didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and it was really difficult to make her change.

After crying for a while, Gu's eyes were swollen, and Mother Lin took a tea bag to put it on her, and said a few words to make her feel at ease. But where could Gu Shi listen, he only answered vaguely and didn't say more.

Next is the festival, Chu Liangrao remembered the old lady's advice, and did not go out for the New Year, while Chu Chaoyang and Gu responded to the palace banquet and entered the palace. The main owner was not at home, but no one came to visit without interest, the grandparents and grandchildren got together for dinner, and then went to Yayin Pavilion to watch the troupe arranged by the Gu family acting.

The old lady circled a few lively scenes on the play list and asked Chu Liangrao: "What do you want to watch?" ”

Chu Liangrao took the play list and looked at it, and ordered a play according to the old lady's taste.

There was a sound of gongs and drums on the opposite stage after a few days, and the old lady watched it with relish, and Chu Liangrao couldn't take her eyes off it.

At the same time, the palace was also full of gongs and drums, Chu Chaoyang and Gu sat at the same table, the stage was very lively, and the same was true off the stage. At this time, the fifth prince Mu Mengchen stood up, but when he saw his mother looking at him, he shook his head slightly, so he sat down again, beckoned Xiao Zuozi to bend down, and he ordered: "Go and ask King Mingyang, why didn't Ning An come today?" ”

Only then did Xiao Zuozi understand that he dared to feel that his master was so restless because of the county lord of Ning'an, he answered and walked towards Chu Chaoyang.

Mu Mengchen saw Chu Chaoyang and Xiao Zuozi smile and say a few words, and then nodded to his own eyes, and then Xiao Zuozi turned around and came back. Mu Mengchen asked with an unnatural expression, "What did you say?" King Mingyang didn't misunderstand. ”

"The little one first thanked King Mingyang for his rescue last time, and then asked why the county lord of Ning'an was not there." Xiao Zuozi took half a step forward and whispered, "King Mingyang answered before he said that the princess, I heard that the county lord was suffering from the cold and was unwell, and he was afraid of spreading illness to the nobles, so he did not enter the palace." ”

"Nonsense." Mu Mengchen muttered dissatisfiedly, "Just like her, she is as strong as a cow and can still withstand the cold?" ”

Xiao Zuozi hung a black line on his face, thinking: This illness doesn't matter what body type. Seeing that Mu Mengchen looked incredulous, he gave birth to this lord and did something out of the ordinary, so he said: "Your Highness, now that the county lord has also returned to Beijing, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future." ”

Thinking about it, Mu Mengchen still said: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year......

I never thought that after this, Chu Liangrao still kept her door closed, let alone met, and she didn't even know what she was doing. For a while, Mu Mengchen seemed to be a martial arts master who had lost his opponent, and it was called a lonely as snow......
