marry a princess

Chapter 42 Chess
"Master..." Yun Xiang grabbed Bai Ziwan, pointed to the room, and pointed to her current attire, her face was full of worry.

He looked down at himself, although there was nothing wrong with it, but thinking that she only had her hair loose in the room last time, Yuan Hongyi said that she was inappropriate and told her to remember her identity. If she saw her dressed like this, It was still at night, I don't know if she will be so angry that she will be grounded.

Bai Ziwan patted Yunxiang's shoulder with a smile, "It's okay, I'll go in first, you can come back after you go back to the room and change your clothes."

Bai Ziwan pushed the door open and entered, Yuan Hongyi sat lazily on the head of the bed, rubbing his thumbs against the white jade pendant on his waist, staring blankly at one place, his brow slightly stern, not knowing what he was thinking.Hearing her coming in, he turned his head and glanced at her lightly, and continued to stare at the place just now.

Just when Bai Ziwan thought he had escaped a catastrophe and was secretly relieved, he saw Yuan Hongyi suddenly turned around, looked her up and down, stared at her, his slightly frowned eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and then returned to normal, faintly He said, "The imperial concubine is really different."

Bai Ziwan smiled, as if he had never heard of Yuan Hongyi's cynicism.She went to the table and poured half a cup of tea to drink, then untied her hair tie, her jet-black black hair fell down like a waterfall, draped softly behind her back, the tips of her hair fluttered slightly, and then stopped.

Yuan Hongyi was still rubbing the jade pendant up and down, but his eyes followed the figure of the other person without knowing it. Seeing that she didn't explain, and he didn't feel guilty about doing something wrong, he raised one corner of his lips, his originally cold face was more Made it a little softer.

"I've seen the fifth prince..." Yun Xiang came in with water and saluted Yuan Hongyi, then went to wait for Bai Ziwan to wash up.

After washing, Bai Ziwan waved his hands to signal Yunxiang to go down, and looked at himself in the bronze mirror with his hands propped up, but his eyes looked at another person from time to time.

"Aren't the Fifth Prince going back to the house to rest?" Bai Ziwan got up and came over, inadvertently saw the Qin lying aside, her eyes froze slightly, and she sighed softly in her heart.

Yuan Hongyi was about to speak when he saw her staring at Qin intently, feeling helpless and guilty. Thinking back to the last time Qin heard, she clearly had feelings for the eleventh brother, why didn't she want to go far away with him?He narrowed his eyes a little, what kind of woman is she?Can Xu Ruo's eleventh younger brother, who will never marry for life, be tempted by her, so that he will not hesitate to abandon his glory and wealth?

When she came back to her senses, there was no anger, no fluctuation, or even any emotion in Shangyuan Hongyi's eyes, as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but it was precisely such eyes that made her feel some inexplicable sense of oppression.Bai Ziwan opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he saw the jade pendant in his hand, he was taken aback for a moment.

"Your jade pendant..." It seemed that something flashed through her mind very quickly, and before she could grasp it in time, it disappeared without a trace.

Yuan Hongyi said slowly, "What's the matter? Have you seen it?"

Have you seen it?Bai Ziwan shook her head to herself, she didn't seem to have seen it before, but why did she feel inexplicably familiar at that moment when she saw it just now.Yes.On the second day of marriage, the day when he entered the palace to pay his respects, and the day when he left, he held the jade pendant in his hand, but... it seemed to be a little different from this jade pendant.

"never seen it."

Bai Ziwan was still wondering why she felt familiar when she saw his jade pendant just now, so she never saw the eyes of another person looking at her. When she heard the words in front of her, they suddenly lit up, but after her last sentence, she felt familiar. After speaking, he was overshadowed.

Yuan Hongyi went outside, and stopped when he reached the door of the house without looking back, "If staying is not out of your intention, then leave."

The opened door opened and closed with the wind, and Bai Ziwan stood there dumbfounded, watching the figure disappearing into the night, not understanding how he said such a strange sentence.However, when she recovered and saw 'Siyue', she seemed to understand.

It's just... can she really leave?
Bai Ziwan never expected that the song he played on the spur of the moment would make the already popular "Chunlan Plum and Bamboo" a topic of conversation after dinner. The other two brothels racked their brains to get the score, but they couldn't.

Yuan Hongyi hadn't been to her house for another ten days, leaving early and returning late every day, mysteriously not knowing what he was busy with, even if he came back early, he would stay in the room with Yuan Hongyi, shutting the door.When they meet by chance, the two are like strangers, strangers.

It's not that she cares about him, but He Lu tells her about Yuan Hongyi every day, even though he doesn't know much.

The decoration of the shop is coming to an end, and the necessary things have been arranged in a hurry. The chef who cooks has also been invited back by Aunt Liu, but because she sneaked out of the house last time, she is afraid of being watched. He kept his duty all the time, either telling jokes to Yun Xiang and the others in the house, or sitting by the lake alone in a daze, never going out.

Today, the weather was fine and cloudless, Bai Ziwan moved the rocking chair to the yard, and the sun shone warmly on her body. While drinking tea, she gently rocked the rocking chair, humming a brisk tune, with a smile on her face, Very uncomfortable.

"Master..." Xiao He held the wooden box in front of Bai Ziwan, "The things you want are ready, please have a look."

Hearing this, Bai Ziwan sat up abruptly, changed hands and put the tea bowl on the stone table, took the wooden box and opened it, her eyes lit up suddenly.She took out the contents one by one, the wood was polished very smooth, and the engraved words were extremely clear, even better than she imagined.

"Master, what is this?" Yunxiang touched it, then looked at Bai Ziwan curiously and asked.There are two layers of cake-like round things neatly stacked in the wooden box, one red and one green, a total of 32 pieces, each with words engraved on it.

Bai Ziwan smiled, "Want to know? All right, you go to the house first and take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone you bought a few days ago."

Rue Xiang agreed to go to the house.Bai Ziwan put the things back into the wooden box and put it aside, and put the teapot on the stone table aside.When Rue Xiang got the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she spread out the drawing paper, thought for a moment, picked up the pen and walked quickly on the drawing paper.

"Master, what you drew is..." Xiao He, who was beside the 'Chu River and Han Realm' on the drawing paper, opened his eyes in surprise.

"This is chess, um, it's a game." Bai Ziwan pointed to the chess in the wooden box, and then to the drawing paper, "This is a chessboard."

"Chess?" Xiao He still looked at Bai Ziwan in surprise.He has only heard of Go, but never of Xiangqi.

"Although chess and go are both chess, they are played differently. If you want to learn how to play, I will teach you some other day." Bai Ziwan folded the chessboard, put it in a wooden box, handed it to Yunxiang, and ordered , "Ruxiang, take it to the house and put it away."

"Master," Aunt Liu came in from the outside and saluted Bai Ziwan, "Do you have anything else to do now? Can you follow me to the inn?"

"What happened?" Bai Ziwan looked at Aunt Liu.

With a smile on her face, Aunt Liu said, "It's not a serious matter, it's just that they know Master... want to see Master."

Want to meet her?Bai Ziwan said, "Aunt Liu, you know I'm lazy, so they don't need to see me, right?" She left Aunt Liu to take care of all the business of the shop, so it doesn't matter if she sees or not.

"This..." Aunt Liu showed embarrassment, "I have already told them, but they want to see you no matter what, and they also said..."

"What else?" Bai Ziwan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Did they say that if I don't see them, they will go back to Jiangnan immediately?"

Aunt Liu nodded.Bai Ziwan thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao He, "The fifth and sixth princes are still in the mansion right now?" For some reason, the two brothers did not go out today.

Xiao He nodded and replied, "When this subordinate came back, Lord Wu and the general were just going out."

Bai Ziwan nodded, got up and said, "Aunt Liu, wait for me outside, I will go in and change clothes, and I will go with you."
