Gentleness in guilt
Qi Yan was afraid that Nangong Jingnu would be bored sitting with her, so she loaded the chessboard on the carriage one day in advance.
At this time, the sky is clear and the sun is shining. The melting snow added a unique charm to the muffled sound of ruts. Qi Yan pulled the chessboard out of the small table: "Your Highness, would you like to have a game with the minister?"
Nangong Jingnu's eyes lit up: "When did you put it on the carriage?"
"When I packed my bags yesterday, I was afraid that His Highness would find the journey boring, so I specially asked Sister Qiu Ju to load the carriage."
Nangong Jingnv was a little eager to try. During this period of time, she lived in Princess Zhuohua's mansion. When she had nothing to do, she would play chess with the second sister. After her guidance, Nangong Jingnv was full of confidence.
After all, she and Qi Yan had an agreement that every time she won a game of chess, the other party promised her a request, and this was a great opportunity to show off her skills.
Qi Yan took the white stones and placed four black stones on the four stars of the chessboard.
Let the fourth son, Qi Yan Zhibai go first.
Nangong Jingnu held a chess piece between her fingertips and stared at the chessboard with all her attention. After Qi Yan dropped Bai Zi on the "Xiao Mu" position on her left hand, she immediately "flyed" a son on the star position on her right hand to consolidate a corner.
Qi Yan was a little surprised: "His Royal Highness's chess skills have improved."
In the past, Nangong Jingnv's chess game focused on a "tangled word", and there was basically no big picture at all. Every time Qi Yan dropped a child, Nangong Jingnu would immediately post it, as if eager to rob and eat the child.
Qi Yan never entangled with her, and occupied the "golden corners and silver edges" on the chessboard without a trace. When Nangong Jingnv reacted, all that was left for her was the "grass belly" in the middle, which was finally taken by Qi Yanqing. Easily strangled to death.
Nangong Jingnv smiled proudly: "Fox Xinyan, second sister has already said, 'Golden Horn and Silver Edge Grass Belly' Ben Gong occupies four corners at once, as long as you solidify it well, you will win."
"Oh? That minister will have to wait and see." After speaking, he dismantled...
Nangong Jingnu's carriage was very warm, but the carriage in front was a different scene.
Nangong Shunv sat upright in the carriage, her waist was straight, her face was frosty, and her eyes were not squinting.
The team had been out for more than an hour, and she didn't even look at Lu Zhongxing from beginning to end. And when he got into the carriage, Lu Zhongxing deliberately stood beside the feet and raised his hand, Nangong Shun passed him without a word, not even touching his fingers.
On New Year's Eve, Lu Zhongxing was drunk and did some outrageous things.
The next day, when I woke up, I saw myself lying on the bunk bed without any strands, with Nangong Shun's figure no longer around, and the bed sheet was as red as a plum blossom.
Recalling what happened last night, Lu Zhongxing almost bit his tongue!
He couldn't forget her tearful, hateful eyes when he was galloping on the other side, and the blurred tooth marks on her neck have not completely disappeared to this day.
Lu Zhongxing vaguely remembered the cold words that Nangong Shunv said with tears at the last moment: Tonight, even if Ben Gong has fulfilled his obligations as a wife, if you dare to touch a finger of Ben Gong in this life and this life, you will be burnt with jade and stone!
The next day, Lu Zhongxing didn't even dare to call the servant girl he served, and for the first time in his life, he wore his own clothes. He walked out of the dormitory without caring about his clothes and escaping.
After staying with a friend for a few days, he had nowhere to go but returned to the Taiwei's mansion. Lu Quan called him to inquire, and he also explained hesitantly: His Royal Highness Zhuohua sympathized with him and allowed him to go back to the mansion for a few days...
But on the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Quan still drove Lu Zhongxing out and said to him: As a royal minister, you must always remember your identity and abide by your duties.
Lu Zhongxing wandered the streets for a long time, and then went to Tingyulou to drink alone. However, I saw Qi Yan shine in the lantern riddle array, and I also saw Nangong Jingnv in disguise carefully taking care of Qi Yan and walking down the ring.
It was even more bitter when the liquor entered his throat. Looking at the back of the two leaving hand in hand, Lu Zhongxing felt that he was wrong for the first time.
If I were not so impulsive, I could get along with Nangong Shunv with a sincere attitude from the beginning, maybe I could be like them...
When I was a child, I was a quiet girl with all my eyes and heart, but I also remembered that Nangong Shunv had an excellent temperament. When she was ignorant as a child, she also called her brother Zhongxing.
Why? Why didn't I start well with her
That night, Lu Zhongxing hovered outside Princess Zhuohua's mansion all night, thinking of Nangong's resolute eyes and words, he finally failed to summon the courage to go in.
The next day, he bought a private house in the south of the city, lived in it secretly, and didn't return to the house until last night.
The atmosphere in the carriage was dignified, and Lu Zhongxing was on pins and needles. He tried to say something to ease the atmosphere several times, but was forced back by Nangong Shu's cold eyes.
It was only after he realized it that he realized that the arrogance of Nangong Shunv was three points harder than that of the Jingnv.
After struggling for a few times, he finally spoke, but the words turned into: "The carriage is too stuffy, I... I'm going to ride a horse."
Nangong Shunv didn't even blink an eye, let alone respond.
Lu Zhongxing shyly withdrew his expectant gaze, lifted the curtain of the car and sat on the carriage: "Leave a horse."
"Yes."
Until it was confirmed that Lu Zhongxing would not go and return, Nangong Shun's body suddenly froze.
Yesterday, when she heard that Lu Zhongxing was returning to the house, she stayed up all night, locked the doors and windows, pushed the table and chairs against the door, and hid a pair of scissors under the pillow.
If Lu Zhongxing dares to trespass, Nangong Shunv is ready to assassinate him or commit suicide.
As an unloved prostitute, she accepted the marriage arranged by her father, and even thought about getting along well with him.
It's not that she didn't give Lu Zhongxing a chance, it's that the other party has done things too dirty and too extreme.
After staying up all night and struggling for half a day, Nangong Shunv's physical strength has reached its limit. She leaned softly on the carriage, sweating like rain, and she lost the strength to move her fingers.
The thought of having a red light hanging in front of the dormitory on New Year's Eve every year in the future made Nangong Shu shudder. After that incident, she and Lu Zhongxing would be in the same carriage, and she would feel extremely sick even if the other party appeared in her line of sight.
"One's life is really too long..."
A tear swept across Nangong Mi's eyes. The saddest thing was that she could not find any hope of living, nor did she have the courage to die.
On the other hand, the chess game has come to an end.
Qi Yan picked up a white stone and dropped it to a place, and a small white hand suddenly appeared on the chessboard to block that position.
Qi Yan raised her eyes, only to see Nangong Jingnu's fair cheeks revealing a touch of pink, pouting: "Don't fall here!"
Qi Yan hooked the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were gentle: "Okay." She turned her wrist and landed in another place.
Nangong Jingnu stomped her feet in anger when she saw it: "Don't fall there!"
Qi Yan smiled and picked up the drop and landed at another point.
This time, Nangong Jingnu leaned back on the carriage like a deflated ball.
Qi Yan looked at her for a while, and said softly, "His Royal Highness has made great progress, at least the top 30 ministers can't pick a problem. However, there are still some deficiencies in the mid-game and the finale. You see, the sunspots are all in pieces. The small pieces can't even form a piece, so that the sunspots can't care for each other at the end, and things can't take care of..."
Nangong Jing blocked her ears angrily: "Ben Gong doesn't listen, I don't listen! Fox's heart, last time he clearly said that letting the four sons is the limit, liar!"
Qi Yan smiled brightly, and stared at Nangong Jingnu with a slightly pampered look, without answering.
After the other party had had enough to vent, he took the hand that blocked his ear and said leisurely, "Does Your Highness want to win?"
"Naturally! Would you be so kind to let Ben Gong win?"
"This minister has already given up four sons. Such a good phone will be given to His Highness first, and the rest will be won by His Highness."
Nangong Jingnu pouted and asked humbly, "How can Ben Gong win."
Qi Yan replied softly, "Let's review."
Although Qi Yan remembered every step, she intentionally asked Nangong Jingnv to come over. She wanted to take this to see if the princess really had the ability to never forget.
The result was beyond Qi Yan's expectations: Nangong Jingnv actually remembered every move clearly and exactly.
After the first 30 moves, Nangong Jingnv would stop every time she dropped a black child, Qi Yan, and pointed out the inadequacies of Nangong Jingnv's step, and patiently explained the situation and skills for her, and finally let Nangong Jingnv do it herself. The right choice.
Nangong Jingnu will ask how this step is after she settles down, but Qi Yan smiles and doesn't answer, picks up Baizi and goes down to another position again.
It wasn't until Nangong Jingnv came to the end that she found that she still lost. But this time it wasn't as bad as the previous game, only losing fifteen points.
Nangong Jingnv looked at the chessboard and remained silent. Although she dabbled in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, every one of them was like a little bit of water, and she didn't know anything.
It wasn't until she understood a little bit of Go that she felt how profound Qi Yan's chess skills were.
When I recalled what Qi Yan said when she first taught her to play chess, I realized how this person took care of her self-esteem.
It turned out that his thoughtfulness and tolerance for himself started a long time ago, and he only blamed himself for realizing it later.
Thinking of all the "willfulness" that I have walked along the way, my heart is sour.
"Your Highness is tired? Then let's go down tomorrow."
Nangong Jingnu helped Qi Yan sort out the chessboard and said softly, "No, my chess skills are not good."
"Your Highness...?"
"It's not interesting to play chess with someone of my level. Second sister's chess skills are superb. Please invite her to play with you tomorrow. Ben Gong is watching."
Qi Yan kept arranging the pieces and was silent for a moment: "According to His Highness."
