The pavilion in the afternoon, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of flowers is bursting.

Being in it can make people feel refreshed and happy, but right now, the ladies of the noble circle sitting in the hall are like sitting on pins and needles.

The chessboard has been set, and the two people who want to play against each other are already sitting at opposite ends of the board.

At first glance, it was a game, but everyone present knew that this game had a strong smell of gunsmoke.

As for the reason, it is vaguely clear, but everyone is not sure.

And because of the two people who are playing against each other, their identities and status are above them, and between the two of them, everyone doesn't dare to disturb easily, and only makes eye contact when the two are not paying attention.

Through the schadenfreude of watching a good show.

At this time, Liu Zhixia followed Qingbai and just walked out of the palace.

After negotiating with Xiliang, although life began to be leisurely, it was not really possible to let go of everything.

They also need to frequently negotiate many matters on the border side, and then continue to issue instructions there, such as receiving the city to pacify the people, ordering the general to lead troops into the city pass, and so on.

"Things will be basically done in about half a month, when do you plan to go back?" While walking out, Liu Zhixia asked.

"Naturally, after half a month, don't you also need to join us and ask more?" Feng Qingbai replied, with a kind of malice in his tone about how you became stupid.

"If you don't ask about this, what else can I talk to you about?"

"See you later."

"See you in half a month."

Say as if someone is happy to see whom, and see you back.

The two of them turned their heads and walked towards their own carriage, and were about to part ways, when they saw the coachman of the palace driving the carriage over, "Lord, someone from the palace has just come to report, and the princess has gone to the Yuan Mansion for a banquet." ”

Feng Qingbai's eyebrows jumped, "Old Yuan, that Yuan Mansion?" ”

"Yes."

Hearing the exact answer, Feng Qingbai's eyebrows twisted, Sheng Sheng was going to Yuan's mansion for a banquet, the post was received yesterday, and she didn't squeak with him for half a day and a night.

What do you want to do without him?

"Go to Yuan's Mansion."

Liu Zhixia's figure about to get into the carriage paused, and when he heard Feng Qingbai's anxious roar, he wanted to drive Yuan Mansion, and his lips curled coldly, "Haven't you been weaned?" Go wherever you go. ”

"I heard that Yuan Lao's chess skills are exquisite, and this king has not met an opponent for a long time, so he went to learn from each other, and he wants to report to you?"

"When it comes to face, the prince is unmatched."

"My lord, Madame also went to Yuan's Mansion, just after noon, and it has been almost an hour now." The Liufu coachman interjected.

Liu Zhixia was silent for a moment, then got into the car, "Go to Yuan's Mansion." ”

"Heh, does your face hurt?"

A man's laughter came from another carriage parallel to the palace road, and Liu Zhixia closed his eyes, "I have played against Yuan Lao many times, and I know a lot about his chess path, but most of them are draws, and there is little chance of winning." I'm going to see the style of the prince. ”

The coachmen of the two carriages did not squint and pretended 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 the truth, those who can be officials, especially those who are big officials, must be shameless if they say they are shameless.

A carriage stopped unhurriedly in front of the gate of Yuan's mansion.

The concierge was the first to see.

At this time, the banquet has already begun to reach the middle of the banquet, how can anyone still come?

With their status in the Yuan Mansion, Miss Yuan invited a banquet, and the people who received the invitation came early, just to leave a good impression on Miss Yuan.

Even if you are a little late, it is a snub to Miss Yuan.

Which family is this lady in front of you? dared to give their young lady face like this.

The porter was disdainful, but fortunately he didn't show it on his face, and just stood in front of the door and waited.

Their master is extremely strict with the management of the upper and lower levels of the house, and it is absolutely not allowed to praise the existence of high and low, whoever wants to commit it, then he wants to stay in the Yuan Mansion. It is to be perfect in terms of face.

At this time, I heard a childish voice from the carriage, "Auntie, have we arrived?" There are so many carriages here, huh? ”

The answer to him was the woman's quiet and gentle voice, "It's here, let's get out of the car, your mother should be in the house." ”

"Let's go find my mother."

The woman who walked down was dressed in a plain dress, her eyebrows were lightly swept, and she applied a little fat powder.

For some reason, seeing her makes people feel very comfortable. She doesn't have the sharpness and sharpness that rich and noble people hide, and some are just shallow and soft.

"I don't know where Madame is? The banquet has already started for a while, and Madame is late, and the little one still needs to go in and tell Mademoiselle before I can let you in. Xu is the comfortable feeling on the woman's body, and the porter's voice is softer.

Liu Yusheng held the edamame, and smiled at the gatehouse when he heard the words, "Nanling Palace, Liu Yusheng." ”

The porter's legs and feet were weak, his back hit the door frame, his eyes widened and he looked straight at Liu Yusheng, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It's no wonder that he doesn't know him.

Liu Yusheng had never been to Yuan's Mansion before, and even when he was outside, he rarely showed up.

The scope of the activity is either in the palace or in the palace, and occasionally when I go to the street, I go to the restaurant after buying something, and go back to the house after eating. Therefore, there are not many people in Beijing who have really seen Liu Yusheng's true face.

And this time, Liu Yusheng specially removed the emblem from the carriage, so as not to cause a sensation when driving on the street, and it also caused the porter to be unable to determine her identity.

With this surprised look at the other party, Liu Yusheng was not surprised, "But do you still need to report?" ”

"No, no, no! The princess, please come with the little ones, and the young ladies are admiring the laurels in the back garden. ”

"There is labor."

The porter wanted to say that the princess should not be so polite, and that it was his honor to serve the princess, but he was so excited that he didn't say anything, and walked with the same hands and feet when he invited people inside.

On an errand in Yuan's Mansion, I have naturally seen a lot of dignitaries, but it is the first time I have seen a level like Princess Nanling.

This is the top treasure of King Nanling, there is a little slackness, and what he is not sure to lose is his own head.

Garden, a game of chess is coming to an end.

The ladies rarely talked during the period, so as not to disturb the two people who were playing against each other. It's just that the light shining in everyone's eyes is frequent, and the meaning of watching a good show is very obvious.

"General." Eating the last particle of the other party, Yuan Yunqiao raised her eyes and looked at Fu Yuzheng with a smile, "Mrs. Liu, admit it." ”

"Miss Yuan's chess skills are exquisite, which is admirable." Fu Yuzheng also smiled at the other party, and there was no unhappiness in losing.

Seeing this, the surrounding women praised Yuan Yun again.

"In terms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is no noble girl in the whole circle who can match Miss Yuan."

"Old Yuan teaches well, and Miss Yuan is talented, I really can't envy this ......"

Before I finished praising these words, I saw a small figure rushing into the pavilion, and the little face was very serious, "Mother, you are playing chess again!" Daddy said that I was tired of playing chess, so I won't let you play chess! You're not good, I'm going to tell Daddy! ”

Congregation, "......"
