The pavilion in the afternoon is full of autumn breeze and fragrance of flowers.
Being in it can make people feel relaxed and happy, but right now, the ladies of the noble circle sitting in the hall are sitting on pins and needles.
The chessboard has been placed, and the two players to be played have already been seated on both ends of the chessboard.
It looked like a game at first glance, but everyone present knew that the game had a strong smell of gunpowder.
As for the reason, it was vaguely clear, but everyone was not sure.
And because the two people who are playing against Yi have their status and status above them, when the two of them are playing against each other, everyone dares not to disturb them easily. They only make eye contact when the two are not paying attention.
It is gloating with a good show.
At this time, Liu Zhixia had just walked out of the palace following the trend of Qingbai.
After negotiating with Xiliang, although the days have begun to relax, it is not true that everything can be put aside.
Regarding many matters on the border, they still need to make frequent negotiations, and then continue to issue instructions there, such as receiving the city to comfort the people, ordering the general to lead troops into the city, and so on.
"In about half a month, things will be basically finished. When do you plan to go back?" Liu Zhixia asked as he walked out.
"Naturally after half a month, don't you need to be with us and ask more?" Feng Qingbai replied, with a malicious tone of how you became stupid.
"Don't ask this, what else can I talk to you?"
"See you."
"See you in half a month."
Saying it as if anyone would like to give an opinion, I'll see you later.
The two of them turned their heads and walked towards their own carriage, preparing to part ways, and they saw the coachman of the palace driving the carriage over, "Prince, the man from the palace is here to report, and the princess went to the Yuan palace for a banquet."
Feng Qingbai's eyebrows beat, "Old Yuan, the Yuan mansion?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing the exact answer, Feng Qingbai's eyebrows wrinkled. Sheng Sheng was going to Yuan's Mansion for a banquet. The post was received yesterday, and she did not speak to him for half a day and one night.
Go without him, what do you want to do
"Go to Yuan Mansion."
Liu Zhixia's body shape that was about to get on the carriage stopped, and she heard Feng Qingbai roaring to drive Yuan's mansion, her lips curled up, "Isn't we weaned? Where are you going?"
"I heard that Yuan Lao has exquisite chess skills. This king hasn't met an opponent for a long time, and he went to discuss and discuss with you. I want to report with you?"
"As far as the face is concerned, no one can match the prince."
"My lord, Madam also went to Yuan Mansion. I went there just after noon. It's almost an hour now." Liu Mansion coachman interrupted.
Liu Zhixia was silent for a moment, got in the car, "Go to Yuan Mansion."
"Oh, does your face hurt."
A man sneered in another carriage on the palace road, and Liu Zhixia closed her eyes, "I have played against Yuan Lao many times, and I know a lot about his chess moves, but more of them are tied and there are few wins. I will go and see. See the demeanor of the prince."
The drivers of the two carriages did not squint, pretending to be calm.
The longer you follow the master, the more you see the essence under the surface.
It also makes them more convinced of a truth. Those who can be officials, especially those who can be high-ranking officials, are sure to be shameless by saying shamelessly.
A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of Yuan's House without delay.
The porter was the first to see it.
At this time the banquet has already started halfway, how come there will be people
With their status in the Yuan Mansion, Miss Yuan invited her to a banquet, and the people who received the invitation came early, just to make a good impression on Miss Yuan.
Even if he was a little late, it was a negligence towards Miss Yuan.
Which family's wife is this in front of you? How dare to not give face to their young lady like this.
The porter was disdainful, but fortunately he didn't show it on his face, but just stood in front of the door and waited.
The master of their family is extremely strict in the management of the upper and lower levels of the mansion, and absolutely does not allow the existence of the high and the low. Whoever commits a crime, then don't want to stay in the Yuan mansion. Therefore, in terms of face, we must be perfect.
At this moment, I heard a naive voice from the carriage, "Aunty, are we here? There are so many carriages here?"
The answer was the woman's quiet and gentle voice, "Here, let's get off the car, your mother should be in the house."
"Let's go find my mother."
Suet suet picked up the driving curtain, and then the woman who walked down dressed in a plain dress, swept her eyebrows lightly, and slightly applied fat powder.
For some reason, seeing her inexplicably makes people feel very comfortable. She doesn't have the sharpness and sharpness hidden by the rich and the rich, but some are just shallow and soft.
"I don't know where the madam is at? The banquet has already started for some time. Madam came a little bit late, and the younger ones have to go in and tell the lady before they can let you in." Xu is the comfortable feeling on the woman. , The porter’s voice was also lightened.
Liu Yusheng held the edamame and smiled at the concierge, "Nanling Prince's Mansion, Liu Yusheng."
The porter's legs softened, his back hit the door frame, his eyes widened and he looked straight at Liu Yusheng.
No wonder he didn't know him.
Liu Yusheng had never been to Yuan Mansion before, and he rarely showed up outside.
The scope of activities is either in the palace or in the palace. Occasionally, when you go to the street, you will go to a restaurant after shopping and go back to the house after you have eaten. Therefore, there are not many people in Beijing who have actually seen Liu Yusheng's true face.
And this time, Liu Yusheng specially removed the house emblem from the carriage, so as not to cause a sensation when driving on the street, and it also made the concierge unable to determine her identity.
So Liu Yusheng was not surprised at the other party's surprise, "Do you still need to report?"
"No, no, no, please come with the little princess. Miss and the others are enjoying the osmanthus in the back garden."
"Work."
The concierge wanted to say that the princess should not be so polite. It was his honor to serve the princess, but he was so excited that he didn't say anything. He walked with the same hands and feet when he invited people in.
As a errand in Yuan's Mansion, I have seen many high-ranking officials and nobles, but it was the first time I saw someone at the level of Princess Nanling.
This is the sharp treasure of the Nanling King, there is a little neglect, and it is his own head that may be lost.
In the garden, a game of chess is coming to an end.
The female family members rarely talked during the period, so as not to disturb the two of Yi. It's just that the light shining in everyone's eyes is constantly immortal, which means that it is very obvious to look good.
"General." After eating the last particle of the opponent, Yuan Yunqiao raised his eyes and smiled at Fu Yuzheng, "Mrs. Liu, admit it."
"Miss Yuan's skill in chess is admirable." Fu Yuzheng also smiled at the other party, without the unhappiness of losing.
Seeing this, the surrounding female relatives gave Yuan Yunqiao a compliment.
"On piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, there is no family and noble girl in the entire circle who can match Miss Yuan."
"Old Yuan teaches well, and Miss Yuan is gifted and intelligent. I really envy this..."
Before I finished complimenting this sentence, I saw a small figure rushing into the pavilion, with a serious face, "Mother, you are playing chess again! Daddy said that he is tired from playing chess, so he won't let you play chess! You are not good, I want to tell daddy!"
The crowd, "..."
