Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 412 Game of Chess

Xiao Dongcheng's words were blocked in his chest by Mrs. Xiao's accusation. He said a little sarcastically: "I am talking about that brat now, why are you bringing up these old things?"

Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "You were able to withstand the pressure from my parents and insist on marrying me. Now that your own son has someone he likes, not only do you not show sympathy for him, but you marry him indiscriminately. Damn it, now that you have become a father, you have a lot of potential. You don’t know how painful it is even if the slap doesn’t hit you. I will leave my words here today. As long as my son likes it, let alone a princess, he will marry even a fairy in the sky. Yes, if you dare to vent your resentment on him again, don’t blame me for falling out with you."

Xiao Dongcheng looked at Mrs. Xiao's angry face. He didn't dare to say anything. He hurriedly covered his chest and said: "You are all angry with me. Now you are so angry that my wound hurts. Housekeeper, housekeeper, hurry up and see the doctor." Is he dead or not? Let him look at his chest if he doesn’t leave.”

Mrs. Xiao naturally saw that he was pretending, and said angrily: "You deserve it!"

"My son still doesn't know how badly he was hurt by you. I'll go over and take a look. Just wish yourself well!"

After Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she turned around and went to Xiao Feng's room regardless of where Xiao Dongcheng was crying out in pain.

Xiao Dongcheng frowned as he watched his wife walk away.

He still had a sigh of relief in his heart, but Mrs. Xiao was right. He was indeed a bit cruel today, but who made that brat anger him? As long as he said a soft word, he would not let anyone touch him today. hand.

Ever since he knew that the emperor was going to marry the princess to his son, he had been dissatisfied. He had preconceptions that the people in the royal family were ruthless and there were not many good people, except of course Jin'er who he had raised with his own hands.

With that scorching sun by Situ Lin's side, what kind of good daughter could a ruthless person raise? If he really got married, his son might not be rounded and flattened by that princess.

But if the emperor insists on granting marriage, what can he, a minister, do? Even his biological sister could only watch helplessly as she reluctantly entered the palace and died miserably in the palace, but he had no ability to save her.

Xiao Feng naturally didn't know that his father still had such worries in his heart. At this moment, he had woken up. When he saw Mrs. Xiao coming in, he immediately complained to his mother with a mournful face: "Mom, look at father, my son has just come out of prison. I've been worried about whether you two can eat or sleep well these days. I haven't even had a good day, and now I'm being beaten like this by my father. My son has never suffered like this since he was a child. It hurts me to death."

Mrs. Xiao looked at her son who turned pale in pain, feeling distressed and angry: "You deserve it. You know your father has a hot temper, but you don't know how to follow him, but you still get angry."

Xiao Feng, who was applying the medicine, grimaced in pain and gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, whatever you say in the future, my son will listen to you. But if you want to marry a wife, even if you beat me to death, I won't give up. If you don't let me To marry Jiaoyang, I would rather go to the temple and become a monk than marry any other woman."

While Mrs. Xiao asked the doctor to be gentle, she cursed angrily: "You are just like your father, a stubborn donkey. You will never look back on things you have decided. I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, your father will agree." .”

Xiao Feng held back the pain in his body and said happily: "Did father agree?"

Mrs. Xiao glared at him coldly and said lightly: "He will figure it out. Your father still hasn't let go of your aunt's matter back then. You have to give him some time to figure it out on his own and don't force him. Back then. Your father went to Jincheng with a sigh of relief, but now that he has returned to this sad place, you say that you want to marry a princess, how can you accept it for a while?"

Xiao Feng curled his lips and whispered: "It's my fault today. I shouldn't have angered my father, but he was too cruel. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed these days."

"Where else do you want to go now? You have been staying at home for me recently and are not allowed to go out. Now there are so many things happening in my Xiao family. Those people are making a fuss about my Xiao family. You can stay at home and recuperate, so as not to It gave those people an opportunity." Madam Xiao warned Xiao Feng with a cold face.

Xiao Feng muttered dissatisfiedly: "How can I get out of the house like this?"

The next day, the news that Xiao Feng was beaten so hard by General Xiao that he could not get out of bed reached the palace.

Three days later, Situ Lin personally sent an imperial doctor to the Xiao Mansion to diagnose and treat Xiao Dongcheng. After learning that his illness was not serious, he summoned Xiao Dongcheng to the palace that day.

In the imperial study room, Situ Lin did not sit by the dragon table today to correct the memorials. Instead, he sat on the soft couch nearby and played chess.

The prince brought Xiao Dongcheng in. Xiao Dongcheng lowered his head and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xiao Dongcheng, is here to see the Emperor!"

Without raising his head, Situ Lin pointed to the seat next to him and said casually: "Sit down! Come and play a game of chess with me."

Xiao Dongcheng lifted his robe and sat across from him. Situ Lin handed him a box of chess pieces and collected the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one.

After all the chess pieces on the chessboard were put away, he signaled Xiao Dongcheng to move first.

Xiao Dongcheng was not polite, he twisted the black piece in his hand and dropped it. Time passed slowly. Seeing the chess pieces on the chessboard being killed equally, Situ Lin pointed at the chessboard and said to Xiao Dongcheng: "You are still the same as before. Whether it's playing chess or fighting, we press forward step by step without giving others any way to retreat."

Xiao Dongcheng said without any sign of weakness: "The chess game is like a battlefield. If you give others a way out, you will leave yourself a dead end. A humble minister will never follow the crowd. No matter who you play chess with, you will definitely kill the opponent." Do not stay."

Situ Lin's face darkened: "So as soon as you returned to the capital, you beat your son until he couldn't get out of bed. Are you doing this to show me?"

Xiao Dongcheng was shocked, but on the surface he said respectfully: "Your Majesty said something serious. It was my son who was disobedient. I was so angry that I beat him. This is a family matter for a minor official."

Situ Lin snorted coldly: "I called you back to the capital to marry my princess to your son. When you returned to the capital, you beat him up with great fanfare and spread the word to my ears. How dare you say that you are not doing this? Are you doing it for me to see? How dare you show off your little charm in front of me!"

Xiao Dongcheng said with a nonchalant expression: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. I heard that the rebellious son was misbehaving in the palace and provoked two princesses at the same time. The princess is the emperor's daughter, and one of his bodyguards dared to be so rebellious. This is what Wei Chen usually does." I doted on him too much, so I could only beat him. This minister is venting his anger on behalf of the emperor. Doesn’t it mean that the emperor knows this and doesn’t want to beat him?”
