Chapter 24 You Lost, Are You Convinced?
"You bear the surname Lu, even if you die, you are still from the Lu family."

Lu Zhiyuan secretly took a deep breath, and squeezed the tea cup so hard that her fingers turned white.

She is just an outsider who can't even be regarded as an adopted daughter. Just because her surname is Lu, she has to be a cow and a horse for their Lu family. She is extremely humble.

"Cousin taught me a lesson." She said in a calm voice, but her tone was disdainful.

"Okay, I'm your cousin, so naturally everything is for you and me," Lu Yiqiao helped her up: "In the future, the Lu family will be well, and you and your father will have a good life."

She said, emphasizing the word 'father'.

Lu Zhiyuan bit her lip. Of course she understood what Lu Yiqiao meant by "good days". She lived with her father since she was a child, and her mother passed away when she was born. Even in the Lu family, she never They didn't live a good life, but Lu Yiqiao, who didn't wear the jewelry and headgear from her father's shop?

The maid helped Lu Yiqiao to leave, and Lu Zhiyuan looked at her retreating back, and tightened her hands in her sleeves.

Since she is unkind, don't blame her for being unrighteous.

She turned around and straightened the bed, lit the lamp, and secretly thought of a plan, she raised her eyebrows, since it's a good day, everyone must live it.
-
On the second day, a group of noble ladies held a small banquet in the garden, calling it to make friends, but who would care whether the banquet was to make friends or form cliques?
Ning Jinsi came early, knelt at the table drinking tea, Mingyue waited on her side, Qin Shuangran chatted and laughed with her, Xu Yiyi, Lu Yiqiao and others came late, when they came, the noble ladies of the official family They all gathered around and praised Xu Yiyi and Lu Yiqiao.

Xu Yiyi is the determined concubine of Jin, and Lu Yiqiao is the concubine appointed by the queen. Even if the prince did not accept it, she still won the queen's favor. Naturally, they, ladies of ordinary officials and eunuchs, want to flatter her.

Although she is a princess, she doesn't like to make friends with unfamiliar people. Only one or two people who speak her mind are enough, so even if someone comes to talk to her, she just laughs it off.

There are also some ladies who are more Buddhist, admiring the flowers and reciting poems.

Lu Zhiyuan walked to the table and sat down, took a sip from the teacup, and the lady next to her didn't talk to her, who didn't know what happened yesterday?She was soft-spoken in the Lu family, and those ladies who wanted to be powerful would naturally not choose to talk to her.

She was indifferent, and her peach blossom eyes looked in Ning Jinsi's direction. After a long time, she withdrew her gaze and landed on her own tea.

An Ran walked from a willow tree to Ning Jinsi and sat down beside Ning Jinsi, "Princess, long time no see."

Ning Jinsi turned her head to look at her, and looked her up and down. She had only met this person once, and she didn't seem to be very familiar with him. She said politely, "Miss An, long time no see."

After greeting each other, there was no further text.

The rockery behind stretches, and several ladies are playing chess. Ning Jinsi doesn't like playing chess, but likes watching chess. She thinks watching chess is more interesting than playing chess.

An Ran caught her gaze, and said softly: "Maybe the princess might as well play a game of chess with An Ran?"

"No, the princess doesn't like to play chess. If you want to play chess, you can go by yourself." Ning Jinsi said casually, and continued to chat with Qin Shuangran after speaking.

An Ran was still following Xu Yiyi back then, but now that she has become the princess, she has rebelled so quickly, there is no room for such a power-hungry person around her.

An Ran hit a snag and left with a cold face.

"At that time, the rumors about you were able to spread throughout Chang'an, and it was due to her credit. Why didn't she continue to be Xu Yiyi's tail today, but flattered you instead?" Qin Shuangran disdainfully threw a grape into his mouth.

Ning Jinsi didn't say a word, she could only leave useful people around her, if there was no use value, then it would be of no use to her at all.

Surrounded by everyone, Lu Yiqiao and Xu Yiyi walked up to Ning Jinsi.

Xu Yiyi saluted her as usual: "Did the princess sleep well last night?"

This Zhuangzi was chosen by her, and it was only natural for her to care about these things.

"Miss Xu chose a good place." Ning Jinsi smiled.

Xu Yiyi then smiled, turned and sat down.

It was midday.

Xu Yiyi ordered someone to bring a refreshing iced tea to relieve the heat, and all the ladies praised her for being virtuous and thoughtful of everything.

"Princess, try it." Xu Yiyi handed her a bowl of iced tea.

Ning Jinsi smiled: "Thank you."

I took a sip of the iced tea she handed me, and it tasted good, just to relieve the heat in this boring weather.

There was a commotion, and there was a dispute over the rockery. Ning Jinsi and Xu Yiyi looked at each other, got up and walked over one after another.

"what happened?"

The two aristocratic ladies who were arguing turned around, their originally beautiful faces had faded at this time, their faces were covered with scratches to varying degrees, their buns were scattered, and they were in a state of embarrassment.

Miss Zhou's little girl was crying, and she explained the reason in a low voice: "Miss Yu played chess with me, but after losing a few games in a row, she said I cheated, yelled at me, and even made a move..."

Yu Pei looked at her and argued vigorously: "If you hadn't cheated, how could I have lost consecutively?"

Zhou Xuan was sobbing, looking more pitiful and more trustworthy, so others naturally spoke for her:

"Miss Yu's family can't afford to lose."

"Miss Zhou's chess skills are the best among all the sisters, so what's the point of losing? It's worth it for Miss Yu to make such a big move and alarm the princess."

"Yeah, we're all watching. If Miss Zhou really cheated, how could our dozen pairs of eyes not see?"

"How can you be so narrow-minded? When we were playing chess with you, Miss Zhou even mentioned you more. If you win, we really think that our chess skills are feasible?"

"Okay, all the sisters, stop talking, since the princess is here, let the princess judge."

Many eyes immediately fell on Ning Jinsi, but she came to play...

That's it.

"Why don't the two young ladies play a game with me?" Ning Jinsi laughed, her eyes falling on the two of them.

Yu Pei nodded, and Zhou Xuan had no objection.

Then Yu Peixian.

"Your Highness, please."

Ning Jinsi walked to the chessboard and sat down, and took back the black chess pieces on the table. The black chess pieces made of black jade, and the white chess pieces made of white jade, were cold and cold in their hands, so they were good things.

Black goes first, and she moves accurately and quickly.

She has learned chess from her grandfather since she was a child. She has read a lot of chess books. When she is bored, she will set up a chess board to play against her grandfather. Her grandfather plays chess fast, accurate and ruthless, often forcing her to have nowhere to go.

When it was Yu Pei's turn, she held the white chess piece and placed it lightly on the board.

The surroundings are silent, only the sound of the breeze blowing can be heard.

Only half a quarter of an hour passed, black chess circled a large area around white chess.

Win or lose is obvious.

Black's moves are fierce, every move can make white's retreat impossible, so he can only look for other ways out, but every time he is intercepted by black.

Ning Jinsi stood up, nodded slightly, and said in a flat tone, "You lost, are you convinced?"

=
good afternoon!
It's time for dinner.
