Before the eldest prince walked out, he couldn't help but glance at the prize placed in front of his mother.

It was a beautifully crafted game of Go.

One chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces.

The whole body of the chessboard is based on a huge piece of white jade, which is supplemented by black lines, crisscrossing it.

The two boxes of chess pieces are also extremely extraordinary, although they are the same jade material, but they feel warm and moist, which is extremely suitable for playing.

This Go is indeed not ordinary.

But that's the way it is at best in the palace.

Not to mention, there is a strong possibility that there will be another one that is exactly the same.

Many things, without scarcity, will be greatly reduced.

This is true for Go, and the same is true for storage positions......

The eldest prince went to the Internal Affairs Office hungry, but did not find Zhao Feng.

For such a result, the eldest prince was not surprised.

He was also happy to do so, so he casually beckoned a close attendant to come over and sent him back to Qingshu Hall to deliver the message first.

"Report to the concubine, just say that I am waiting for Manager Zhao here, and I will ask you to go back after the people."

"Let the concubine eat first, don't wait for me."

After the eldest prince sent back a little eunuch, he asked the people from the Internal Affairs Office to simply arrange a lunch for him.

He waited while he ate here.

To be honest, it's not that he can't understand his mother's feelings.

After all, compared to the rewards in the first game, today's is too shabby.

I was a little disappointed, not to mention the expectant concubine.

In this regard, the eldest prince sighed in addition to sighing.

After the eldest prince had lunch in the house, he began to wait.

It would have been boring for a long time if he had changed to others, but the eldest prince was interested in studying his palm prints, which was much more comfortable than when he was in Qingshu Palace.

After a while, there was movement outside the door, and the eldest prince followed the sound to look over.

I thought it was Zhao Feng coming back, but it turned out to be Mr. Shang.

But seeing Manager Shang, the eldest prince stood up directly, and saluted first: "Old manager, don't come to harm." ”

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Manager Shang, who had just come back, was very surprised, and asked while returning the salute.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are some things I want to ask Manager Zhao."

Mr. Shang nodded quietly, and then told the eldest prince: "Mr. Zhao is on the side of the Ganlu Palace, and no one can say when he will be able to come back." ”

"It's better for Your Highness to go back first, and when the people come back, I'll deliver you a message."

The eldest prince smiled, but said: "Don't bother the old boss, I just have nothing to do today, just bother the internal affairs office for a while." ”

When Mr. Shang saw that he couldn't persuade the eldest prince, he no longer insisted on it.

"Okay, well, the old slave will sit with His Highness for a while."

The eldest prince did not refuse this time.

Manager Shang first added a cup of tea to the eldest prince, and then poured himself a cup as well.

The two drank tea silently for a while, even if they didn't speak, there was no awkward atmosphere.

But in the end, the eldest prince who had doubts in his heart opened his mouth first.

"Boss, have you heard about the backgammon game in the Imperial Garden today?"

Mr. Shang couldn't help but smile, as if he imagined that a person the size of the eldest prince would take it seriously and play backgammon with his younger brothers and sisters.

The eldest prince is not stupid, and soon he knows what the general manager is laughing at, but he can only be helpless.

"It seems that the old manager has heard about it."

"That's nature." Mr. Shang replied with a smile, and then said, "Nowadays, the monthly gathering in the Imperial Garden is a topic of conversation in the palace. ”

"Today, His Royal Highness won the first place, and the old slave has no time to say goodbye."

Mr. Shang arched his hand as he spoke, as a sign of congratulations.

"It's tied for first place, but it's healthy, and I won another game."

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Your Highness doesn't have to take it too seriously." Mr. Shang comforted him.

"Huh."

The eldest prince shook his head with a smile, and then asked, "Then the old manager must also know very well the purpose of my coming to Manager Zhao, right?" ”

Mr. Shang smiled and did not speak.

The eldest prince didn't say anything, just stared at Manager Shang, waiting for his reaction.

After a long time, after Mr. Shang drank all the tea in the teacup, he slowly spoke: "Your Highness, no matter what you want to ask Manager Zhao for advice. ”

"But for something as important as today, we as subordinates are just doing what we are told."

"What His Highness doesn't know, how can we know about it?"

After Mr. Shang finished speaking, he looked at the eyes of the eldest prince sincerely.

After only a second of staring at each other, the eldest prince looked away.

Mr. Shang has made it very clear that there is no need for him to continue to stay here.

"It's not too early, so I won't bother the boss anymore."

After that, the eldest prince left without looking back, and his close attendants hurriedly followed.

Out of the Internal Affairs Mansion, the eldest prince did not go in the direction of Qingshu Palace, but went the opposite, and he didn't know where he was going.

……

At the same time.

The three little ones in Jingyang Palace had just finished eating.

After eating, there should always be some after-meal activities.

In addition, Li Xuan and Yu'er watched it for a long time in the morning, and they were already hungry for chess worms, and they couldn't wait to take out the prizes they got today, and planned to play a few games.

Princess Ankang had enough of the competition today, and directly acted as a referee for them.

Not to mention, high-end goods just feel different when they play.

This Go painting is not only gorgeous to look at, but also has an excellent experience to use, and it is much stronger than their original set of Go, which has been touched and pulped.

And I don't know what kind of jade material this chess piece is made of, it feels very warm to the touch.

Princess Ankang likes to grab it in her hand and even stick it on her face.

Li Xuan and Yu'er watched others play chess all morning, and they were already itching.

Taking advantage of the warm spring flowers today, it is a good time to play backgammon in the yard.

Li Xuan and Yu'er fought for a few rounds, winning and losing each other.

After not playing for a few days, Li Xuan felt that Yu'er's chess skills seemed to have increased a little.

I could easily abuse her before, but now if I don't pay attention to it, I will be overturned.

"It seems that this little girl has been practicing hard in secret!"

Playing chess is a pleasure, and watching chess is a pleasure.

In the morning, although Princess Ankang played several games of chess, she even played several extremely difficult games.

But at this time, it was very interesting to watch Li Xuan and Yu'er kill inseparably.

Especially the level of this person and a cat, it is the most interesting time.

Princess Ankang sometimes has to cover her mouth when she looks at it, for fear that she will laugh and affect the two contestants.

And just as they were having fun, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, followed by the communication of the eunuch in flowery clothes.

"His Royal Highness the Grand Prince asks to see you."

The laughter of the three little ones suddenly stopped, and they looked at each other in a daze.

"Why is the eldest prince here?"

At the same time, they have such a question.

Li Xuan thought further: "Could it be that I am not convinced by the draw." ”

But anyway, when the eldest prince came to visit, it was not good to hang him like this.

Yu'er walked to the door and brought people in.

His attendants were all left outside.

The cold palace is not a place where you can come if you want to.

Even if the eunuch in flower clothes at the door sold the face of the eldest prince, they would have to report this matter.

In the past, when there was no gatekeeper, love was as good as it was, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't control it.

But now that there are two eunuchs in flowery clothes guarding the door, the nature is completely different.

The eldest prince didn't think anything of it.

Today, I was suddenly interested, and I planned to come to Jingyang Palace to have a look.

After he was brought in by Yu'er, he immediately saw the chessboard on the table.

Looking at it, they had already started the game with the prize they had been given.

And his chessboard, he hasn't touched it yet.

After Zhang Guifei saw the things covered under the red cloth, she checked inside and out many times, and found nothing special, so she began to be furious.

The eldest prince naturally did not have the opportunity to touch the prizes that belonged to him.

I don't know what the feel of this thing is.

Just when the eldest prince was staring at the chessboard on the table in a trance, Princess Ankang's voice sounded first:

"Ankang has seen the imperial brother."

The eldest prince woke up like a dream, and a standard smile automatically appeared on his face, and he replied: "It was the royal brother who suddenly came to visit and disturbed the thirteenth sister's Yaxing, don't blame it." ”

"It's nothing, we're just playing backgammon." Princess Ankang explained with a smile: "Brother Huang, sit down and talk." ”

The eldest prince was invited by Yu'er to sit down on the stone chair next to Princess Ankang.

The stone chair was warm in the sun, but it was very comfortable.

The eldest prince was first attracted by the game of Go.

But it looks exactly the same as his own, without any difference.

He then noticed the pieces on the board and couldn't help but smile.

The eldest prince thought to himself: "The thirteenth sister is interesting, she actually lowered her level and played with her palace maids." ”

There were only two people in the entire courtyard, Princess Ankang and Yu'er, and the eldest prince naturally thought that Princess Ankang and Yu'er were playing against each other before.

I didn't expect that the other chess player was actually a little black cat in Princess Ankang's arms.

"Brother Huang, is there something wrong with coming today?"

After the eldest prince sat down, Princess Ankang asked cautiously.

As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace.

What's more, it's their Jingyang Palace, which is a cold palace.

Speaking of which, the eldest prince should be the first person to come here among Princess Ankang's brothers and sisters.

"The imperial brother happened to pass by here, and by the way, he came in to congratulate and see the residence of the thirteenth sister."

"Speaking of which, my imperial brother is also incompetent, and he has never been here for so many years."

As the eldest prince spoke, he glanced at Jingyang Palace with his eyes.

It's just that even he can't hold back any flattering words.

Compared to Qingshu Palace, Jingyang Palace is simply a refugee camp.

Many of the buildings have a dilapidated gray hue.

Although it looks neat and clean, it just gives people such a feeling.

And apart from being clean, I really can't pick out any other advantages.

Compared to the other palaces in the palace, it is like an ordinary private house.

Even the courtyard of the Qingshu Hall for people to live in is more exquisite than here.

Therefore, the compliments that the eldest prince has always used to are afraid that they will become yin and yang when they say it.

Therefore, he held back for a long time, and only spit out four words intermittently.

"Neat and clean."

Princess Ankang saw the embarrassment of the eldest prince, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, she held back her smile, and said, "The royal brother has a heart." ”

These words, in fact, the eldest prince himself was very embarrassed to listen to.

I didn't come to visit before, but today I came together with the first name, and the purpose is too obvious.

And looking at Princess Ankang's appearance of finally holding back a smile, the eldest prince couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"Ankang, I won't hide it from you."

"I'm here to see if your prize is the same as mine."

Confiding the truth, the eldest prince felt a lot more relaxed in an instant.

Princess Ankang couldn't hold it back anymore and smiled.

Then she pushed the chessboard and the chess jar, and said to the eldest prince: "Then the imperial brother just watch." ”

The eldest prince was stunned, he didn't expect Princess Ankang to be so easy to speak.

After all, he came to inspect Princess Ankang's gifts, but did not bring his own.

In the eyes of the eldest prince, this is extremely unfair, and even some kind of oppression.

But Princess Ankang grinned and pushed her prize to herself.

At this moment, the eldest prince sincerely doubted what he had learned over the years.

"Then, the royal brother is welcome."

The eldest prince saw Princess Ankang nodding to himself, slowly stretched out his hand and touched the chessboard, and then carefully played with the chess pieces in the chess jar.

After a while, seeing that he was still playing carefully, Princess Ankang couldn't help but ask, "How is it, Brother Huang." ”

"But what's the difference?"

The eldest prince's movements were abrupt, his eyes dimmed a little, and he was silent for a moment before replying:

"I don't know."

The eldest prince had never touched his prize at all, so there was no way to compare it at all.

Princess Ankang suddenly felt a sour heart for no reason.

Although she didn't know what was wrong with the eldest prince, when she heard the sentence "I don't know", she felt inexplicably sad.

Not only Princess Ankang, but Li Xuan and Yu'er also feel the same way.

For the first time, they felt such violent mood swings in this big prince, who was as expressionless as wood on weekdays.

The Great Prince let go of the chess pieces in his hand and let them fall into his own chess jar.

He turned his head again to look around Jingyang Palace, only to find that the layer of ash he had seen at the beginning had disappeared unconsciously.

Instead, a warm orange glow is revealed, as if these modest buildings are covered in sunlight.

And in the entire Jingyang Palace, the most shining thing is the two people and one cat in front of him.

"What is this?"

The eldest prince didn't understand.

Why is there a light in the dilapidated Jingyang Palace that has never even shone in the gorgeous Qingshu Palace.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang......"

"What's wrong?"

When the eldest prince came back to his senses, Princess Ankang was constantly shaking her white and tender little hands in front of her eyes.

The eldest prince instantly stood up from the stone chair in panic, and kept retreating one after another, as if he was hiding from something terrible.

"Brother Huang, are you alright?"

Princess Ankang asked with concern.

Yu'er hurriedly took two steps forward, she saw that the eldest prince seemed to be in a trance, for fear that he would do something to hurt Princess Ankang, so she approached the eldest prince in advance to prepare.

Li Xuan also looked at the eldest prince strangely, not knowing what was wrong with him.

The eldest prince understood that he was out of shape, and quickly smiled, and prepared to leave.

"I'm fine, thirteenth sister, I'll leave first if I have something to do."

The eldest prince bowed his hand and was about to leave.

But at this time, Princess Ankang timidly pointed at him and said:

"But the royal brother ......"

"You're in tears."

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

Today's more will be given tomorrow.
