Chapter 49 Lonely Like Snow
After wiping his hands and face with a hot handkerchief, and applying a layer of moisturizing snow plum cream, Chu Liangrao suggested, "Daddy, let's play a game of chess."

It was the first time for such an active invitation, Chu Chaoyang was quite new, and asked, "When did Ah Rao become so interested?"

Chu Liangrao just pretended not to hear the ridicule in his words, and said with a smile: "But I have to decide the rules." A gleam of victory flashed in his eyes, Chu Liangrao thought that he couldn't beat him in Go, backgammon Can you still go down?Today, she must destroy the prestige of her unscrupulous father.

After hearing the rules Chu Liangrao said, Chu Chaoyang smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it?"

Chu Liangrao hummed twice in his heart, secretly thinking to wait and see.

At the end of the game, Chu Chaoyang won, and Chu Liangrao blinked and blinked, confirming that the five sunspots on the chessboard were indeed in a straight line, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Seeing Chu Liangrao slumped, Chu Chaoyang was in a happy mood, and he didn't forget to say, "I'll say it's not difficult."

"Come again." Chu Liangrao's unwillingness to admit defeat was aroused, and he played a few more games with Chu Chaoyang, and found that this guy was an elite player who could compete with modern computers.Unlike Chu Liangrao, who was thinking about the next move, Chu Chaoyang evolved several possibilities as soon as a piece landed on the chessboard, as if there was a forecast, so he played chess very handily.

Knowing that he was no match, Chu Liangrao presciently asked for a meal first.

Chu Chaoyang didn't know her small thoughts, and he didn't feel like looking for victory with her, so he simply had lunch in Chu Liangrao's room.Although the lunch dishes were light, they were very tasty. As usual, Chu Liangrao drank half a bowl of clear soup before eating the main course.

After a meal, Chu Chaoyang said a few more words to Chu Liangrao, and then went back to his yard to change clothes.

After exercising during the day, Chu Liangrao slept very soundly in the afternoon nap.

On the other hand, Mrs. Gu was busy preparing for the New Year. When Chu Chaoyang entered the room, she just paused for a moment with the jadeite abacus, and then the sound of a string of beads was heard again.After Chu Chaoyang changed his clothes, he stood behind Gu Shi and looked at it for a while, then stretched out his hand and gently removed Gu Shi's wrong bead.

Seeing Chu Chaoyang correcting herself, Gu Shi gave him a reproachful look: "Your lord thinks that being a concubine is not messy enough?"

Chu Chaoyang sat down, took a sip of ginseng tea, and looked up at Gu in silence.

How could Gu's bear such a look, her ears were already red with shame, but she couldn't say what she didn't want.

After a long time, Chu Chaoyang said: "I heard that you haven't gone to see your mother for some time, but you are not feeling well? Have you asked the imperial physician to come and see?"

It turned out that it was because of this matter, Gu Shi suppressed her embarrassment and said: "I am just following the teachings of the prince."

Such a recalcitrant attitude made Chu Chaoyang frowned slightly, and left without saying a word.

Gu Shi was furious, grabbed the abacus and threw it on the ground, looking at the emerald masters scattered all over the ground, Gu covered her face and wept.After hearing the commotion, Mama Lin hurried in, and called Dong Xue to clean up the mess on the ground, then walked to Gu's side and persuaded: "Princess, be careful."

The sad Mrs. Gu couldn't listen, and cried even harder.She has been married to the palace for many years, how could she have received such treatment, she thought that the prince did not touch Xia Hua's body because of the love between husband and wife, but today he still came to accuse her.But he didn't want to put on airs every time, so he didn't take Chu Chaoyang's face into consideration.

She admires Chu Chaoyang's heroic demeanor, but after marrying him, she wants him to be her close friend. For a long time, the backlog of problems has become an irreparable situation.

Mother Lin looked at Jiao Xin and said, "Princess Wang, if you give in, the prince will definitely look at you with admiration."

Gu Shi didn't know, but she remembered what her mother taught her before she got married: this man can't let go, if you soften once, there will be a second time, but if you always put on airs, he will only love you Jane you spoil you.After so many years, Mrs. Gu didn't think there was any problem with doing so, and it was really difficult for her to change.

After crying for a while, Gu's eyes became swollen. Mother Lin took a tea bag and applied it on her, and said a few words to make her feel relieved.But Mrs. Gu couldn't hear it, so she only responded vaguely and didn't say any more.

Next came the festival, Chu Liangrao kept in mind the old lady's advice, and did not go out for the New Year, while Chu Chaoyang and the Gu family accepted the palace banquet and entered the palace.The master was not at home, but no one came to visit ignorantly. The grandparents and grandchildren had dinner together, and then went to Yayin Pavilion to watch the performance of the troupe arranged by Gu.

The old lady circled a few lively plays on the play list and asked Chu Liangrao, "What would Ah Rao want to see?"

Chu Liangrao took the play list and looked at it, and ordered a play following the old lady's taste.

After a while, there was the sound of gongs and drums on the opposite stage, the old lady watched with relish, and Chu Liangrao also watched intently.

At the same time, the palace was full of gongs and drums. Chu Chaoyang and Mrs. Gu were sitting at the same table, the stage was very lively, and so was the audience.At this time, the fifth prince Mu Mengchen stood up, but saw his mother and concubine looking at him and shook his head slightly, so he sat down again and beckoned Xiao Zuozi to bend down, and he ordered: "Go ask Ask King Ming Yang, why is Ning An not here today?"

It was only then that Xiao Zuozi realized that it was because of Princess Ning'an that his master was so restless. He responded and walked towards Chu Chaoyang.

Mu Mengchen saw that Chu Chaoyang said a few words to Xiao Zuozi with a smile, then nodded towards him, and then Xiao Zuozi turned around and came back.Mu Mengchen asked unnaturally: "What did you say? King Mingyang didn't misunderstand, did he?"

"The little one first thanked King Mingyang for his help last time, and then asked why Princess Ning'an was not here." Little Zuozi took half a step forward and said in a low voice, "Prince Mingyang answered before he said the princess. Yes, I heard that the Princess is suffering from the cold and is not feeling well, so she didn't come into the palace because she was afraid of spreading the sickness to the nobles."

"Nonsense." Mu Mengchen muttered dissatisfiedly, "Just like her, she is as strong as a cow and can still catch the cold?"

Little Zuozi had a black line on his face, thinking: This illness doesn't discriminate between body types.Seeing Mu Mengchen's disbelief, he gave birth to this lord and did something out of the ordinary, so he said: "Your Highness, the princess has returned to Beijing now, and there will be more opportunities to meet in the future."

Thinking about it, Mu Mengchen still said: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year..."

He never thought that after this, Chu Liangrao would still stay behind closed doors, let alone seeing her, he didn't even know what she was doing.For a moment, Mu Mengchen looked like a martial arts master who had lost his opponent, and that was a lonely as snow...
