Chapter 148: Here Comes the Little Thief Cat
Li Xuan saw the black dots on the chess pieces clearly through the water droplets.
There is no black dot on the chess piece at all, but an extremely small piece of text.
[Law]
There is also a smaller sign below the French character, which reads "Three".
"What does that mean?"
After Li Xuan read the words on it clearly, he handed the chess pieces to Princess Ankang and Yu'er, and then dripped water on them.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er immediately saw the words on it through the water droplets.
"This is!?"
The reaction of the two little girls was the same as Li Xuan.
His mouth opened slightly, and his eyes widened.
They were amazed that the chess pieces were engraved with words, and that water droplets could enlarge the fonts.
"Ah, Ah Xuan, what kind of method are you, how can the water drops still ......?"
Yu'er stammered, unable to speak clearly.
Princess Ankang reacted quickly, and ran back to the house to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Now that there are abundant materials in Jingyang Palace, how many of these things are needed.
She silently wrote down the words on the chess pieces according to the memories she had seen earlier.
First, there was a big word "law", and then under the word "law" was written a much smaller word "three".
Princess Ankang's handwriting is very large, which makes it clear at a glance.
"Sister Yu'er, you can help me get a pair of scissors."
"Okay, I'll go."
Yu'er didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly found scissors.
After Princess Ankang took the scissors, she cut out the previous words directly from the paper and made them into a square small copybook.
Then press the piece with the word on it on it.
"Ah Xuan, how many such chess pieces do you think there will be in here?"
Princess Ankang's eyes lit up and she said with excitement.
"Your Highness, do you mean that there are still many such chess pieces with words in here?"
"When do we have to find this?"
Yu'er looked at the chess pieces full of chessboard and couldn't help but feel a little difficult.
"Sister Yu'er, anyway, we have nothing to do, and don't you wonder what the words on it will be?"
Princess Ankang is already interested, and she is about to do a big job.
Although Yu'er felt that this was not a simple matter, she still planned to have a good time with Princess Ankang.
"It's rare that Your Highness is so interested, I must not spoil the fun."
Yu'er looked at Princess Ankang and Li Xuan, who were full of energy, and couldn't help but smile.
"As long as His Highness and Ah Xuan are happy, Yu'er will also be happy."
Yu'er thought silently, got up and went to fetch a basin of water and came back, ready to bring a drop of water to read the words, and then asked Princess Ankang what else she needed.
The three of them got together and studied what to do later.
Li Xuan hurriedly found the chess pieces he had spit out earlier, then swept them aside, shook his head at Princess Ankang and Yu'er constantly, then pointed to the chess pieces on the notebook, and then pointed to his mouth, opened it, and stretched out his pink tongue.
"Ah Xuan, you don't want to say that you can taste the chess pieces with words, right?" Yu'er quipped.
As a result, the next moment, she saw Li Xuan nodding frantically.
Although he distinguishes it by its subtle taste, there is nothing wrong with saying that it is tasted.
"That saves a lot of effort."
Princess Ankang clapped her hands and said happily.
"In this way, Ah Xuan, you pick out the chess pieces with words, and Sister Yu'er and I will sort out the words on them, and finally let's see what it is."
"Sister Yu'er, you help me drop water droplets onto the chess pieces, and then help me cut the calligraphy and tidy up the chess pieces."
"In that case, it won't be long before we get all the words together."
Princess Ankang assigned the task in a few words, feeling like a female general on the battlefield, scolding Fang Yu with a snap of her fingers, and she was full of spirit.
Li Xuan and Yu'er saw Princess Ankang so vigorous for the first time, and couldn't help but bow their hands in unison and respond loudly:
"Meow!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that even Li Xuan folded her two front paws together, Princess Ankang's face suddenly turned red.
She felt that she seemed to be a little too "arrogant" just now.
This made her a little unaccustomed.
Li Xuan and Yu'er couldn't help laughing when they saw Princess Ankang's blushing cute appearance.
Princess Ankang suddenly felt even more embarrassed.
"Oops, stop laughing, stop laughing."
"Sister Yu'er, Ah Xuanβ"
Princess Ankang dragged a long tail note, covering her red face in shame, not daring to look up.
There was a joyful laughter in Jingyang Palace, which was heard by the eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes guarding the door.
The two eunuchs in flowery clothes glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile.
The eunuchs in flowery clothes who came to Jingyang Palace to guard the door all knew that although Jingyang Palace was a cold palace, it was actually not deserted.
It's even more human than anywhere else in the palace.
In the past, they still thought Princess Ankang was pitiful.
But now I don't think so.
To some extent, Princess Ankang is actually happier than anyone in this palace.
Even the eunuchs in flowery clothes, who have always been ruthless, can pass through the gate of Shoujingyang Palace to find a trace of softness that has been sealed in their hearts for a long time.
β¦β¦
The rotten bright glow is red and the sun is twilight, the clouds are light, and the moonlight is spitting out.
As the weather gets warmer and warmer, the end time of the sun is constantly delayed, and he always puts one foot on the side of the west mountain early every day, but he has to wait a long time to clock in and go home.
After a busy afternoon, the three little ones finally found all the chess pieces with words as they wished, and recorded the words on them.
But before I could take a closer look, dinner was served.
The three little ones happened to be so hungry that they were grumbling, so they took the written notes and chess pieces back into the room first, and studied them after eating.
After eating and drinking, they sat around the room drinking tea and digesting dinner.
Princess Ankang couldn't wait to take out the notes she had written down and began to study them.
"Ah Xuan, what do you say these are?"
Li Xuan shrank in Princess Ankang's arms, accompanied him to look at the words with serial numbers, and already had some guesses in his heart.
They had a total of 361 chess pieces in their hands, of which 181 had words, accounting for a full half.
However, the word order on it is messy, and it is impossible to piece together the complete content.
Li Xuan believes that I am afraid that half of it is still in the Great Prince's set of Go.
Only then did he realize that the second Imperial Garden Tournament was not over, and it could even be said that it was just about to begin the excitement.
"Emperor Yongyuan is a little interesting, but I don't know if he guessed that An Kang could also get a deck of Go."
Li Xuan thought in his heart that he already understood what was really going to be tested in this round.
At this time, Yu'er also said on the side: "Your Highness, these serial numbers are not complete, I'm afraid you can't see anything, right?" β
"That's it." Princess Ankang was a little discouraged and put down the notebooks in her hand.
"It would be nice if the chess pieces in the chess jar that don't have words can grow words."
"In this way, Ankang will be able to know what these words mean."
"I don't know if there will be such a day-"
"If that's the case, Ankang will be very happy, very happy-"
"Ahh
Princess Ankang's tone suddenly became strange, and she finally pretended to sigh.
"This girl!"
The corners of Li Xuan's eyes jumped, and he felt bad.
"The child is getting older, and it's getting harder and harder to fool."
I knew that such a day would come, but it came too quickly than expected.
Since he was rewarded with three meals a day with imperial specifications, Li Xuan knew that he couldn't hide the good things he had done before.
"Judging by this girl's contrived tone, she should already know."
Li Xuan pretended to be fine, calmly put his paws into Princess Ankang's teacup, washed his paws, and then took them out to lick them dry, and drank some tea by the way.
But his heart was already panicked.
Princess Ankang should have known that she was the one who brought her supper before, and she stole her old man's leftovers.
It's just that it's better to pretend that you don't know about this kind of thing.
But just as Princess Ankang was curious about the remaining half of the article, Li Xuan was also curious about what the words on Go would be together.
"This girl is also bad at learning, and now she will encourage me to steal the chess pieces of the eldest prince."
Li Xuan thought so, and felt very relieved in his heart.
"This is my good princess!"
In fact, Li Xuan has long been a thief.
The eldest prince may not have reacted to this matter, so he naturally took advantage of his unpreparedness to take it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, after telling him to react, if he has a defense, Li Xuanke will not be able to start.
Li Xuan first pretended not to understand Princess Ankang's hints, and then waited until late at night to see Deng Weixian to practice, and then turned to Qingshu Palace.
The last time he was looking for the mastermind behind the scenes, he found the heads of the four princes all the way, and they all arrived at the courtyard wall of the house at that time, but they were brought back by Zhao Feng at the last moment.
But Li Xuan still remembered the way to Qingshu Temple, and soon found this place again.
He's just here tonight, and if he has the chance, it's never too late to do it.
It's just that the chessboard is a prize from the emperor after all, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to get.
And the only thing Li Xuan needed to steal was the two cans of chess pieces.
He was not interested in the chessboard.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Li Xuan will have to do a detailed inspection later, in case the eldest prince's Go is different from Princess Ankang's, and there are other mysteries.
At night, because no one was moving, it was difficult for Li Xuan to tell where the residence of the eldest prince was.
He could only follow the specifications of the other courtyard and investigate everywhere.
Even in the middle of the night, the Qingshu Hall is still brightly lit.
Li Xuan walked around and had already found the key target that needed to be explored.
At the door of several of these rooms, the eunuchs and palace maids on duty are waiting for them, ready to serve their masters at any time.
Presumably, in these rooms, the nobles who live in the Qingshu Hall are not wrong.
Li Xuan first excluded the room in the main hall.
It should be Zhang Guifei's room.
Then, he excluded the rooms of the four princes.
The courtyard of the four princes, Li Xuan had been there before, and he knew where it was.
So there are only two rooms left.
But Li Xuan still did not act rashly.
He came to the vicinity of the remaining two rooms, straightened his nose, sniffed carefully, and then successfully eliminated one room.
"That room full of fat powder smells like it's not the eldest prince."
"If so, I'm narrow-minded."
Li Xuan snorted, firmly believed in his judgment, and walked towards the last remaining room.
There were two eunuchs and two palace maids waiting at the door, a total of four people.
They lit lanterns, but they didn't have much spirit.
Although they were all standing, there were also one or two people who were secretly closing their eyes and pretending to sleep.
Li Xuan bypassed them, walked around the room, and finally found a suitable window, and then used his housekeeping skills to climb in.
"Here comes the little thief cat~"
