After Ning Xueyan went up to greet Mrs. Tai, she sat down beside Ning Qingfan, her eyes turned away from the people in the room, but she understood Mrs. Tai's thoughts, all of them were from "my family", Mrs. Madam took it for granted too.
"Your mother is entertaining you outside, you little ones, grandma will let you in to play for a while, so as not to say that grandma is unreasonable and asks you to work." Mrs. Tai said with a smile, with a loving look on her face.
"I know how many of us my grandmother loves the most." Ning Qingshan answered the words obediently, as if Ning Lingyun was missing, it was also a normal thing.
"You girl, you have the sweetest mouth." Mrs. Tai was full of joy after being coaxed by Ning Qing, she smiled and patted her head lightly, "Okay, okay, grandma is also tired now, and I'm going to Go inside to rest for a while, you guys will talk together here, we are all young people, so it’s fine if you have something to say.”
Mrs. Tai meant something, and she looked at it specially. The third prince, Ao Mingyu, who didn't talk much today, had a smile on his face since he came in, but he wasn't very happy. Mrs. Tai was worried about Ning Qing. Shan had a quarrel with the third prince because of the matter in the other courtyard, and deliberately wanted them to talk about it.
The Marquis of Huguo put in so much effort just to produce a third prince and concubine, who might be able to be the mother of the world in the future. For such a big event, there cannot be a single mistake.
The reason why the third prince was invited here today is not just for this matter. The matter of Ning Xueyan and the fourth prince is incidental. I came down because I was afraid of gossip.
Mrs. Tai consciously thought very thoughtfully, and after she finished speaking, she smiled and took her maid, and the mother-in-law left.
"Fifth Miss, Third Miss has come early, why did you come so late?" Tai Furen left, and Ao Ming walked to Ning Xueyan's side at night, and asked enthusiastically, the young man's eyes naturally showed affection, compared to Speaking of Ao Mingyu, Ao Mingwan is much more outgoing.
"I met someone on the road I was walking just now." Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, her long eyelashes flickered, and she could only answer this fourth prince who was overly enthusiastic.
"Is it Yuhang?" Looking at the jade-like person in front of him, Ao Mingwan rarely found a chance to talk to her boldly. Of course, one question after another, I was afraid that I would have nothing to say to the beautiful woman and waste a lot of time. .
"No, we met in the front." Ning Xueyan said lightly, she didn't want to do what Mrs. Tai wanted, and she didn't have any thoughts about the fourth prince. Since Ao Chenyi said that, it represented What he meant was that his future whereabouts had been decided, and there was absolutely no need to involve other people, so as not to cause other troubles.
"Fifth girl, fifth girl was frightened by what happened that day, I'm really... sorry." Ao Mingyu who was sitting on the other side suddenly stood up and said to Ning Xueyan in a warm voice.
He used to sit beside Ning Qing's fan, but when Ning Xueyan came, Mrs. Tai let Ning Xueyan sit on the side of Ning Qing's fan, which looked more like Ning Xueyan sitting on Ning Qing's fan Between Ao Mingyu and Ao Mingyu, everyone didn't pay attention to it at first, but at this time the third prince turned to one side, and everyone discovered this position, which is quite weird.
Seeing that it was Ning Xueyan who Ao Mingyu spoke to appease, Ning Qingfan was jealous and hated, a bit of hatred flashed in her eyes!
Originally she was wronged, but Ning Xueyan and Ning Lingyun just ran back in a hurry. It can be said that she was the least involved in the whole incident. Why should the third prince apologize to her? Twist into a ball.
"No problem!" Ning Xueyan didn't expect Ao Mingyu to talk to her suddenly, she saluted Ao Mingyu gracefully, stepped back a little, and automatically moved away from the straight-line distance between him and Ning Qingfan .
"Your Highness, it's still early, why don't you play a game of chess?" Xia Yuhang laughed loudly from the side, pointing to the two sets of chess pieces placed by Mrs. Tai in front of the bed, trying to defuse the neither awkward nor awkward atmosphere in the room.
"Okay, third brother, we haven't killed for a long time, how about another kill?" The fourth prince, Ao Mingwan, seemed to be interested, and took Ao Mingyu to occupy a pair, while Ning Ziyan invited Ning Qing to fan him, After being rejected by Ning Qingshan, she took the sunspots and turned to Ning Xueyan with a smile: "I don't know how the fifth sister's chess skills are, why don't you try a game with the fifth sister?"
"Okay." This time Ning Xueyan was not polite, and sat on the side, holding the white chess.
There are only two sets of chess pieces in total. If she doesn't play, she has to watch others play. No matter who she is sitting next to watching, she feels very uncomfortable, so she simply holds on to the chess pieces by herself.
Ning Qingfan naturally sat with the third prince, Ao Mingyu, watching chess, Xia Yuhang sat next to the fourth prince, and Ning Xueyan and Ning Ziyan became quiet.
Black first and white later, Ning Ziyan took the initiative in the chess in his hand, and a piece of chess fell lightly and skillfully: "Fifth sister, I will not be polite, I will take the initiative, and please show mercy when the time comes."
Mingshuang Academy has never hired nuns to teach, and only the Ming family is teaching these things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but with Ming's body, how much can he teach? Ning Ziyan knows this very well. However, this meeting said such things deliberately complacently.
Ning Xueyan dropped the sunspot casually, her lips curled slightly, "I'm sorry, big sister, but I'm not good at chess, so I will disappoint big sister."
Chess, calligraphy and painting, what Ning Ziying is least good at is playing chess. It used to be Ning Ziying's worst part. In this respect, it is the same as Ning Xueyan before. Of course, it is not up to her now to win or lose. Within the scope of consideration, she just didn't want to get involved with the Fourth Prince.
"Miss Wu is not good at chess. That's a coincidence. I'm not very good either. Why don't I play a game with Miss Wu?" Ao Mingwan who was sitting on the other side heard it, and immediately stood up and said that his chess skills were also not good. Ning Xueyan is a couple who can sit together to kill time.
"Then..." Ning Ziyan just wanted to humiliate Ning Xueyan in chess, but unexpectedly rushed out of Ao Mingwan halfway, quite reluctant.
"The fourth prince's chess pieces are not good, that's really a coincidence. Let's play a game with the fifth sister to see who is worse." Xia Yuhang, who was standing on the side, took the words leisurely and said with a smile.
Since Xia Yuhang said so, Ning Ziyan didn't dare to object, so she had to stand up and give up the seat to Ao Mingwan.
Ao Mingwan was overjoyed. Originally he played against Ao Mingyu, but because he had seen that Ao Mingyu seemed to be quite different from Ning Xueyan, he deliberately wanted to drive them away. Unexpectedly, after a while, he had a match with Ning Xueyan. The beauty had a chance, and immediately happily sat down opposite Ning Xueyan, and transferred all the sunspots at her side to Ning Xueyan.
Very gracefully let Ning Xueyan make the move first, regardless of the fact that she is indeed a stinky chess basket, looking around, she is extremely handsome, quite a bit complacent.
"Third Highness, we..." As soon as Ao Mingwan left, Ning Qing walked over and sat down in front of him with a blushing face, which meant that she would accompany Ao Mingyu to the next game.
However, before she could speak, Ao Mingyu stood up, smiled at her, and asked softly: "Shall we go and see the fourth brother playing chess together? The fourth brother's chess is really not good , don't be inferior to the fifth girl by then, it's just a joke."
What he said was extremely polite, gentle and gentle, just like his usual behavior, there was nothing unusual about it.
Although Ning Qingfan was full of reluctance, she couldn't refute his face, so she got up helplessly, followed Ao Mingyu, and watched the battle behind Ning Xueyan.
Ning Xueyan didn't expect that in just a short while, she and Ao Mingwan had a match, and everyone else ran to her side to watch, but had no choice but to re-position the board, and she made a move, and the opposite Ao Ming Keeping up tomorrow night, both of them are weak in chess, but unexpectedly they fought evenly.
Your son, my son's down.
The two chess players come and go, but they don't feel anything. The two of them are bad at chess. Ao Mingwan's attention is not on this chess piece. Of course, they have a great time playing, and Ning Xueyan doesn't care about it. , so I didn't care about talking about it casually, killing time, but frowned on the few people who watched.
When Ning Xueyan was about to go down again, a hand was stretched out behind her, held her white hand, and led it in another direction: "Fifth girl, get down here."
After finishing speaking, she let go of her hand, and the chess piece in Ning Xueyan's hand fell on the board involuntarily. That place was not where she wanted to play before.
"Third brother, you are a real gentleman when you watch chess without saying a word." Ao Mingwan was unhappy, and shouted, one piece of his place died immediately when this chess game went down, and the most important thing is when will Ao Mingyu get behind the fifth Ning girl? went.
"The fourth brother intends to beat the fifth girl to a crushing defeat?" Ao Mingyu smiled gently. What he said meant that Ao Mingwan had nothing to say. How could he want to make the beautiful woman on the opposite side lose a crushing defeat? He just deliberately made a mistake After a few moves, it was to integrate with Ning Xueyan to create a no-win-no-lose situation.
"Okay, okay, forget it this time, don't talk about it anymore." Ao Mingwan waved his hand generously.
Ao Mingyu smiled slightly, and Ning Qing, who was standing behind him, had a gloomy look of jealousy in her eyes.
Ning Ziyan, who was also standing next to Xia Yuhang, also noticed a strange look on Xia Yuhang's face, and her eyes fell on Ning Xueyan's face with inexplicable scrutiny.
Being watched by so many people, Ning Xueyan was really not in the mood to play any more, she played a few pieces casually, threw the other pieces in the chess basket, stood up, and said apologetically, "Fourth Highness, I lost!"
"It's okay, let's come again." Ao Mingwan was full of interest, and waved his hand. It is a rare opportunity to play against a beautiful woman. Of course, he will not let this opportunity go. In fact, when he was in Ao Mingyu's other courtyard that day, he also He wanted to come, but was blocked by Concubine Shu, so he had no choice but to rush over.
Of course he remembered what Concubine Shu had said to him, and he also knew that the woman in front of him was not enough to be his main concubine.
"No, I'm really not good at chess, Your Highness, please ask someone else to accompany you!" Ning Xueyan refused with a smile.
"Let me come, I haven't been with the fourth brother for a long time, and the fourth brother escaped just now, this time you are not allowed to escape." Ao Mingyu sat down where Ning Xueyan stood up, and smiled at Ao Ming opposite In the evening, he acted as if he really wanted to compete with him.
Seeing how energetic he was, Ao Mingwan couldn't say anything more, so he nodded in response and restarted the game. The others watched the battle, and seeing that they were not paying attention to him, Ning Xueyan quietly walked to a corner of the room and sat down. He took a sip of the tea offered by Lan Ning.
Lan Ning whispered in his ear: "Girl, it's already passed."
