Crazy Concubine Taming the Cold King

Chapter 57
"No, of course not, I'll ask someone to send the chess pieces over here." Long Qianrui suddenly came to his senses, and ordered his servants to get the chess pieces after he cleared his mind.

After a while, Long Qianrui ordered the maid to set up the seats, and the maid stood aside to offer fragrant tea. The man lifted up his clothes and sat down as neatly as flowing water. Empresses are walking in this direction.

Helian Suxin moved to the seat opposite the man. When she saw the chessboard on the table, her eyes lit up. It was a beautiful chessboard. The body of the chessboard was carved from a whole piece of jade. Warm and moist, it makes people unable to take their eyes off at a glance.

This ancient imperial family was really extravagant, such fine jade was actually used to make a chess board, and the chess grids on it were made of gold wire, and the chess pieces were made of red gold and black gold. How can I play chess with peace of mind, Helian Su couldn't help thinking to himself, if it was changed to modern times, whoever has such precious chess pieces on the chessboard would have to worry every day, worrying about being remembered by thieves.

Looking at the gold and black chess pieces on the chessboard, Long Qianrui looked at Helian Suxin who was sitting opposite him with a meaningful and sly smile in his deep eyes. , Helian Suxin got up and saluted respectfully: "My concubine greets Lafayette, the empress dowager, and the empress."

"There is no need to be formal, the Ai family has already said that there is no taboo tonight, there is no taboo! You play... Ai family is not good at this game of chess, just watch it from the side." Lafayette's face was full of strong With joy, seeing Helian Suxin and Long Qianrui playing against each other, there was a flash of elite light in his eyes.

Helian Suxin has a bit of experience in playing chess. I remember that some capable person once said that when playing chess, you only need to remember the ten rules: don't be greedy to win; enter the boundary slowly; attack the opponent and take care of yourself; Striving to be the first; giving up the small to become big; abandoning in every danger; being careful not to be hasty; moving in a corresponding manner;

As long as she can achieve these forty words, at least she won't lose too badly. Helian Suxin doesn't know Long Qianrui's strength, she just needs to be cautious and take every step she can.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and two figures, one big and one small, walked in at the gate of Weiyang Palace. It was Long Qianjue and Long Yanyu who had not appeared tonight. When the two entered the palace gate, the first thing they saw was It was a spectacular scene. Almost all the people in the main hall surrounded one place with three floors and three floors outside. Looking from the outside, they couldn't see what was going on inside.

Long Qianjue and Long Yanyu's uncle and nephew looked at each other with the same doubts in their eyes, then they strode towards that place with long legs.

When the people outside saw someone coming, they hurriedly let Long Yanyu and Long Qianjue enter the inner circle respectfully. When they saw the scene inside, Long Qianjue's deep and dark eagle eyes flashed A touch of imperceptible interest.

The chess match between Helian Suxin and Long Qianrui seemed to be in full swing. It must have been unexpected that a woman would have such a superb chess skill. Beads of sweat were already seeping from Long Qianrui's forehead.

And Helian Suxin, who was sitting opposite him, had a face as calm as water, and her starry eyes were as clear as a secluded mountain and a clear spring. The bright light of the night pearl fell on her plain white skirt, and the blue hair that fell to her white wrist shone with dazzling brilliance. .Every time she raised her hand, the sleeves swayed gently with her soft movements, showing an elegant and soft arc, reflecting the beautiful and refined little face, with an otherworldly lightness.

"Prince Jing, I've accepted it!" Helian Suxin's lips twitched suddenly, a slight smile was hidden in her beautiful water eyes, and she spoke lightly.

Long Qianrui's deep eyes tightened, and the expression on his face was stunned for a few seconds. He looked closely at the chess pieces distributed on the chessboard. To lose to a woman, and in front of all civil and military officials, really made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, good chess." Long Qianjue's mellow and deep voice suddenly came, and the two players who were playing chess noticed that he and Long Yanyu were also standing beside them watching the chess.

Lafayette's laughter escaped again: "Damo Khan gave Aijia such a good daughter-in-law, and Aijia must thank him personally if he has the opportunity." When the old man said this, Wenwu next to him All the officials also echoed with apologetic smiles, and Helian Suxin instantly became the focus of attention.

"Lafayette, you are laughing at my concubine again. Today's chess game was deliberately accepted by Prince Jing. If not, how could this concubine have the ability." Helian Suxin's casual polite words made Long Qianrui's expression on Uglier.

"Concubine Lin must stay in the palace more often when she has free time in the future, and she can also teach me how to play chess." The childish face suddenly approached Helian Suxin, Nangong Luowu had already taken off her thick phoenix crown and Xiapei, She changed into a finely embroidered and finely spun bright red dress, and her childish face was paired with a peony and phoenix bun that didn't match her age. Pearls and emeralds were clustered, vermilion jade was hanging down, and the splendor was overflowing.

"Does the queen also want to learn how to play chess?" Helian Suxin smiled lightly and looked at her. Although the pink and tender little person in front of her was a queen, she was really just a child in her eyes.

"Well, I want to learn how to play chess." Nangong Luowu's beautiful eyes were shining with excitement. Although she had no idea about the rules of chess, the expression Helian Suxin had when she played chess just now was deeply moved. Attracted her, she had never seen such a beautiful woman, and she also wanted to be as elegant and beautiful as Princess Lin.

"If the empress wants to learn how to play chess, she can ask the master of the Imperial Academy to teach her at any time. Why bother Princess Lin?" Nangong Yuyan's voice came gracefully, and the eyes that looked at Nangong Luowu suddenly sank, a little more warning .

Her sudden words made Nangong Luo Wuyang's excited expression on her little face instantly froze, and the moment her innocent and harmless water eyes looked at her aunt, a timid flash of fear flashed across her face. He Niang has repeatedly warned that after entering the palace, she must listen to her aunt, and the same is true for everything.

A strange light flashed in Helian Su's clear eyes, how could she fail to see the empress dowager's deliberate precautions, so she chuckled softly: "The empress dowager is right, the gentleman in the palace teaches chess, so naturally he is better than the minister. A concubine is much smarter, the empress should just learn from her husband."

Nangong Luowu stopped talking, and a look of disappointment flashed across her pink and tender face. At this moment, Long Yanyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "The queen mother frightened Luo Wu. She has been timid since she was a child. The gentlemen of the Hanlin Academy are all carved like ice skates. If they are allowed to teach chess, it is better not to learn chess. Since Luo Wu wants to learn chess from Aunt Huang, I will make love for her and trouble Aunt Huang in the future. I often come to the palace to teach her."

As soon as Long Yanyu's words came out, the little queen's beautiful water eyes immediately shone brightly, and she looked at her husband gratefully. Maybe they haven't realized that the relationship between the two has happened today. a qualitative change.

Seeing Long Yanyu come forward to defend Nangong Luowu, Nangong Yuyan's complexion softened slightly, and her voice softened a little: "Since the emperor has spoken, I can't say anything else, but... I have to ask if this is the case. The meaning of Prince Lin and Princess Lin..."

Her question like this undoubtedly made everyone's eyes fall on Long Qianjue. Even if the little queen wanted to learn chess from Helian Suxin, she had to listen to Lord Lin's answer.

"Taking advantage of this rare opportunity tonight, let the concubine tell the queen the rules of the chess game first. The king and the emperor still have some things to discuss with Prince Jing. Come and serve wine..." Long Qianjue said profoundly A strange color flashed in the bottom of the eyes, but the corners of the lips evoked a careless and lazy smile.

As soon as his words came out, Long Qianrui took back the steps he was about to leave, and his face was slightly startled, as if he seemed a little surprised. With a smile: "Are the emperor and the fourth brother looking for a drink with this king?"

"Of course, with such a rare opportunity today, how can I just let my brother go back like this." Long Qianjue's magnetic voice, which was as mellow as fine wine, chuckled, with a hint of playfulness.

An imperceptible doubt flashed in Helian Suxin's eyes, and he noticed an amazing detail with a casual glance, the rosary on Long Yanyu's wrist...it came back again!
This discovery caused Helian Su to break out in a cold sweat. She had already told Long Yanyu before that this rosary looked a little weird, so she told him not to wear it anymore. She would come back to help him after she found out the solution. .But in the blink of an eye, she clearly saw the rosary returning to the boy's wrist again, and she couldn't help worrying about Long Yanyu's safety.

"It's getting late, Grandma Huang and Queen Mother should go back and rest, and Luo Wu will stay and chat with Aunt Huang about chess skills..." Long Yanyu ordered in a calm and steady tone like an adult.

Nangong Yuyan originally wanted to say something, but Lafayette on the side responded with a deep smile: "That's fine, Ai's family will go back to the palace to rest first, so that you juniors can stay quiet and at ease. Empress Dowager, let's go with Ai's family."

"Yes, Lafayette." Nangong Yuyan felt uneasy across her face, but she could only nod her head in agreement, her almond eyes turned to Nangong Luodie at the same time: "Luodie, don't play too late, do you understand?" ?”

"Yes, aunt. Luo Die sent aunt and Lafayette out." Nangong Luodie saluted respectfully, then supported Lafayette's arm, and sent her and Nangong Yuyan out of the palace gate.

After such a short time, only Helian Suxin and Long Yanyu were left here, and the young man lowered his voice and said solemnly: "I have already completed the tasks entrusted to me by Aunt Huang."

Helian Suxin's eyes widened in surprise, and after a while he felt overwhelmed, his clear water eyes involuntarily looked towards Long Yanyu's bright wrist, as if he could see Helian Suxin's thoughts, the young man was low His voice became even lower: "Aunt Huang, don't worry, this...is another string of rosary beads that Uncle Huang found. He said that this matter must not be alarmed."

As soon as the young man said this, Helian Suxin suddenly realized why the string of rosary beads had returned to Long Yanyu's wrist. While amazed, he couldn't help but feel Long Qianjue's shrewdness, and his watery eyes couldn't help turning to him. Looking in the direction of the man, I saw him, Zheng and Long Qianrui chatting happily, talking and laughing.

The night was getting darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer people in the Weiyang Hall. Nangong Luodie followed Heliansu to learn chess, and yawned after listening to it. Finally, she couldn't help but fell asleep lying on the table. The thick black The eyelashes covered her pink face, so cute.Helian Suxin winked at the side, and immediately a palace official stepped forward, carefully carried the little queen on his back, and sent her back to the palace.

Helian Suxin got up slowly, after a whole day of tossing, she was exhausted, but thinking about being in the palace, she really didn't know where she should go to rest right now, at this moment, That familiar magnetic voice has sounded from the other side

"That's all for tonight. The king and concubine should go back to rest. Although the emperor also has a rest, it's time to go to court in three or two hours."
