The princess is reborn

Chapter 37 "The Fox Spirit in Mingyue Tower"

I didn't care about Xie Yan's disappointment that day, my attitude could be called indifference, but I couldn't resist Qiu Yunqing's loyal and inquisitive attendant.

Huaixin almost regards the mess between me and Xie Yan as the focus of his life. Apart from serving my food and daily life, he goes out to inquire about Xie Yan's gossip every day.

"My lord, let me tell you that you are in a very dangerous situation now!" For example, at this time he rushed into the room with a very serious expression, and said such an inexplicable sentence to me, with thin sweat remaining on his forehead, and his breathing Run and become hasty.

"What's the matter? Slow down."

I poured him a cup of tea leisurely, handed it to him unhurriedly, and glanced at him leisurely, with the reproach in my eyes that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.

"My lord, you still have the time to taste tea here!" Even so, Huaixin still took my drink and drank it all, with regrets on his face, "Huaixin asked about His Royal Highness After Ri Cong left here, he went to the Ming Pavilion and stayed there all night without coming out."

"Go and go, there's no fuss."

I drank tea in a leisurely manner, and was not at all interested in Xie Yan.

But having said that, what is Mingyue Pavilion? I wandered here and there three years ago, and I have never heard of Mingyue Pavilion. It should be newly built in recent years, I think so from the bottom of my heart.

"My lord, can you have some snacks! You were the one who said you liked His Highness the Crown Prince, but now you are the one who doesn't feel any sense of crisis at all." Huai Xin sighed at me as if I was the one who couldn't help him. A Dou.

"Forget it," he saw that I was still ignorant and didn't continue to argue with me, and continued, "I have already found out about Mingyue Pavilion. It was only built three years ago. It is an extremely weird place in the Prince's Mansion. I Only after buying off the guards at the gate did they learn the news."

"This Mingyue Pavilion is very mysterious and mysterious. After His Royal Highness ordered it to be completed, no idlers are allowed to enter it."

"The attendant told me that it's probably where His Highness the Crown Prince's golden house hides his beauty, so I said, son, you have to be careful, even if you can't catch His Highness's heart now, you can't let him indulge too much in Mingyue Tower gentle township."

"Mingyue Building?" I stared at the shiny teacup in my hand, and asked curiously, "Has anyone seen what the beauty inside looks like?"

Huaixin shook his head, with a regretful expression, "His Royal Highness handles everything about Mingyue Tower with his own hands, and never pretends to be done by others."

"The guard also said that His Highness would stay overnight in Mingyue Tower every now and then. If it wasn't for the golden house, why didn't he just sleep in the dormitory? After all, Mingyue Tower is still some distance away from His Highness's dormitory, so running around like this isn't too tiring. Panic?"

I shook the warm tea in the cup, quietly watching the tea in the cup gradually sinking, the clear water reflected my indifferent expression, "Since no one has seen the master of Mingyue Pavilion, why come to Jinwuzang?" Jiao Yi said?"

"Huaixin felt the same way at first, but the guard said that every day, clothes made by Zhiyi Pavilion will be sent to Mingyue Tower."

When Huaixin said this, he suddenly looked around and found that there was no one around who mysteriously clung to my ears.

"Another time, the guard lost his way in the middle of the night and accidentally entered the Mingyue Tower, and saw His Highness the Crown Prince sitting in the gazebo with someone in his arms, admiring the moon. He did see the dim figure of the Prince's back. There really is such a person."

"So, son, you have to cheer up, you can't go on like this anymore, you have to be proactive, and take the prince's heart away from the vixen in Mingyue Tower."

"Tomorrow when playing chess, you must use your ingenuity to capture the heart of His Royal Highness, you know? My son, don't keep talking and don't yawn. I'll find some chess books for you now, and practice them for you." .”

"Your master's chess skills will definitely shine in tomorrow's chess game. But to be on the safe side, you should be more diligent. Huaixin will bring you the chess record now."

"Okay, okay," I was really not interested in playing chess, and I yawned again and again when I heard the chess record, but I couldn't bear to brush off Huaixin's kindness, so I could only softly say, "Go get some melon and fruit snacks, I play chess and eat at the same time."

Huaixin saw that I was finally willing to make some efforts for the words of thanks, so he was so excited that he went out happily.

After he left, there was less babbling and preaching, and the whole room became quiet, and I also had time to think, carefully thinking about the things between me, Xie Yan, and my father.

Xie Yan is the crown prince, it is not an easy task to uproot everything he has painstakingly worked on for many years and shake his foundation, and I am just the son of a small magistrate, without any power behind me, it is even more difficult to ascend to the blue sky.

I carefully rubbed the white jade chess piece in my hand, staring blankly at the warm temperature in my hand, and after a little thought, I decisively placed it in the broken position on the chess record.

Now if I want to avenge my father and make Xie Yan lose power, I must stay by Xie Yan's side, and the most suitable identity is the identity of a servant, who can not only get in touch with some secrets without trace, but also avoid suspicion , to deceive the public.

And my plan for revenge can be gradually planned. During these long years, I will definitely know the way to make Xie Yan's life worse than death and get out.

Leveraging strength, now Xie Yan, as the crown prince, has mastered the power, but the battle for power is often turbulent, and how many ambitious money wolves are hidden around him, coveting his position as crown prince?

While my thoughts are flying, I have already read most of the chess records. If it were me in the past, I would not be able to read these chess records at all, but it is very different today. I can find endless meanings from these mysterious chess games. It's fun, and it's really wonderful to apply what you have learned to the strategy.

After Xie Yan left that day, he never came to see me again, even the orders were given by the housekeeper.

I especially remember the gloomy expression on the butler's face when he came over, and his words were full of melancholy, "His Royal Highness has been getting worse and worse these days. I went to Feng Mansion that night, and the symptoms of anorexia finally got better. At least I am willing to open my mouth to eat some porridge, but now I have not eaten a drop of rice, alas."

Listening to this, I still looked the same, with a polite and alienated smile on my face, but I didn't take over what the family said. I instinctively felt disgusted by Xie Yan, and it was even more impossible for me to take the initiative to care about this person, so I only changed the topic to the real business.

"Housekeeper, why are you looking for me?"

"Oh, that's it," the housekeeper took out the invitation from his sleeve, "His Royal Highness will be assessing the chess skills of all the young masters in a few days, and hope that Mr. Chou will attend on time."

"Butler, may I ask who gave the test this time?" I still can't forget the ridiculously simple test question given by the butler at that time.

"It's His Royal Highness."

"At that time, His Royal Highness will set up a Linglong chess game, and only wait for a breaker. Mr. Chou, please practice more in the next few days, so as not to make a bad hand at that time, which will affect your performance."

Chess game, what game will Xie Yan play?I don't have a clue.

The location of the chess skill assessment is set at the huge Hanmeiju, where sandalwood is used to pave the ground. Behind the elegant screen are trickling water and rockery rocks. aroma.

Xie Yan was wearing a simple and elegant white robe, sitting in the middle of a room, his face was a little paler than last time, holding a sunspot with his cold white fingertips, his expression was as indifferent as a cold white crane.

There are already several beautiful young men of aristocratic families around him, all secretly looking at him shyly and timidly, their eyes are full of joy that cannot be concealed.

Hmph, here to seduce people again.

Seeing this scene, I felt a little unhappy, and I had nothing to do, so I could only walk to the chess table in the corner resentfully.

Xie Yan was surrounded by a lot of people, and everyone's attention was on Xie Yan, so no one noticed my arrival at all.

I sat quietly in the corner, looking at the lotus flowers with water droplets outside, some weak flower buds, not yet open, quietly gathering the flower branches, but my shy face was wet by the sudden raindrops.

I was a little fascinated watching it, and I didn't even know when the rain hit my face.The raindrops came lightly and slowly, but with moist water vapor, I shuddered all over.

Although I am not the sick person that Feng Jiuyue is now, my body is not very healthy. I can be blown out of sick steps by the wind. Very annoying.

"Squeak."

A cold white hand appeared in front of my eyes. The person was very tall but too thin. He gently closed the window on my side, and my square inch of sky was completely cut off, and the rain no longer broke into my arms. The trembling all over me also faded away.

After Xie Yan closed the window, he didn't look at me, and returned to the main table with a calm expression.

It was only then that I noticed that there was no sound in the room at this time, even the sound of a needle falling could be heard clearly, and everyone's eyes were on me. I wondered in my heart, but soon discovered the reason.

It turned out that the room was designed with multiple windows for enjoying the scenery, and they were located in various parts of the room. At this time, the wind and rain were coming at night, and rainwater was poured into each window.

But Xie Yan only closed this window for me.

"Now start a two-two game, and the loser will be eliminated."

Xie Yan's words were light, but they caused huge waves among the attendants. After whispering to each other, the attendants quickly started to play chess in pairs.

And my table also ushered in an opponent. The person who came was a young man in rich clothes, holding a folding fan, and a small mole on the bridge of his nose. He looked down at me condescendingly, and impatiently kicked the chess table with his feet in white socks. , with a haughty attitude.

"I'm here to compare with you."

I have heard this voice before. That day when I took off my veil, this person talked about me in the dark, and his words were full of jealousy.I didn't really want to play this guy, but I looked around and saw that everyone else was in pairs and I was alone.They all looked at me happily, as if they were watching a good show that hadn't started yet.

Since this is what they are looking forward to, I will not let them down.

I suppressed the coldness in my eyes, pulled the corners of my lips lightly, made a gesture of please, and said to the person, "Then please."

After some gestures, I realized that the visitor really has the capital of pride.His chess skills are superb, his moves are unique, and his level of chess can be said to be one in a hundred.

It was only at this time that I understood the meaning in other people's eyes. I was sure that I would lose, and all this should be a plot they had planned long ago, so that the strongest among them would play against me so that I would lose. It was a complete failure.But they were wrong, Feng Jiuyue might lose, but Qiu Yunqing would not.

"Accepted." I said very lightly, and I couldn't help but feel proud.Although this person is good at chess and his moves are fierce, I still managed to win by a narrow margin.

The first hurdle close to Xie Yan has been passed.

"Really?" The man obviously lost, but his expression was not in the slightest dejected. He smiled at me, his almond-shaped eyes were full of despicableness and savagery, "Isn't it me who won? I am Baizi."

How dare this person turn black and white, I am clearly a white piece, and let the black piece go first at the beginning of the game, now he has just switched his pockets, so he dares to play tricks blatantly!

"You are shameless."

I was so angry that my voice was trembling, I reached out to take my white stone back, but the person opposite grabbed my wrist.

He was clearly handsome, but his strength was astonishing. Ignoring the sullen look on my face, he suddenly shouted, "His Royal Highness, this person refuses to accept the loss and wants to switch my chess pieces."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on the same page, and Xie Yan also looked up from the book. At that moment, his gaze was like a cold ice blade, and it fell directly on the person who was holding me tightly. hands.

The author has something to say:

"I'm jealous, I won't tell"
