Red Mansion Beijingwang

The candlelight on the table flickered, and the light in the room gradually dimmed. Siqi hurried over and moved the half-burned candle, and the orange-yellow light became brighter again.

Shui Rong put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "Second girl's chess skills are superb. Brother-in-law is ashamed of himself."

Yingchun raised her eyes to look at the young man, with a trace of uneasiness between her eyebrows. She put down the black cloud and said unnaturally: "It was my luck."

This victory over my brother-in-law doesn't seem to be a good thing. Maybe I should let my brother-in-law win.
Shui Rong saw the girl's slightly furrowed brows and understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "Playing chess is entertainment. Winning or losing is secondary. You don't have to think too much about it, Second Girl."

The husband is the leader of the wife. Even if a girl has talents, she probably won't show off in front of men, like Baochai, who sees through everything but says nothing and steals the limelight from the men.

Keeping one's ignorance and lack of talent concealed is the model for ladies in the boudoir.

In fact, Shui Rong doesn't care about these things. If a girl in the boudoir has abilities, she can give full play to her strengths. It will make him feel more proud if his capable daughter can take charge.

Tanchun is as talented and smart as she is. She not only takes care of the affairs of the mansion, but also helps with many official documents in the study. Sometimes she can even make Shuirong suddenly enlightened.

To put it bluntly, it's just some men with strong self-esteem who feel that it's an embarrassment for them if their women are better than them, and they're unhappy.

Yingchun's eyelashes trembled when she heard this, and a touch of rouge appeared on her cheeks. She felt sweet and happy, and whispered, "Little sister knows."

My brother-in-law is still so tolerant.

Shui Rong had a smile on his face and said, "It's still early, Er Yatou, let's play another game of chess."

Shui Rong had already neglected Yingchun, and since he had nothing to do tonight, he decided to play chess with her for a while, which could comfort the girl's soft heart.

"Ah."

Yingchun was happy, and her beautiful face was bright and radiant.

After cleaning up, the two resumed their chess game. Just after they had made a few moves, the maid Xiu Ju came in and announced, "My Lord, Miss, Miss Xing is here."

Xing Xiyan, why is she looking for Yingchun at this time?
Shui Rong was somewhat surprised and curious. He looked up at the beautiful girl and asked softly, "Second girl, do you and Yu Yan often interact with each other?"

Yingchun lowered her head slightly, her bright eyes fell on the chessboard, and she said timidly: "When Yuyan first came to the capital, she lived in the same courtyard with my younger sister."

Shui Rong understood what he said. When Xing Zhong and his wife went to the Rongguo Mansion to seek refuge with Madam Xing, they were arranged to live in the same courtyard with Yingchun. They were separated by a wall, so they saw each other every day and naturally became more familiar with each other.

On the side, Siqi frowned slightly, feeling a little strange about this Miss Xing.

In fact, for Xing Yuyan, his indifferent character is not offensive, and that is why he can get along with his own girl.

But if you had come on a normal day, Siqi wouldn't have said anything. However, the prince has finally come today, and it looks like he will favor the girl tonight. If you come at this time, you will ruin your own girl's good fortune.

Uh. And by the way, it ruined her good fortune.

How could Siqi be happy in this case?
Eyes flashing, Siqi looked at Xiu Ju, thought for a moment, and asked, "Xiu Ju, did Miss Xing tell us what she wants to see our lady for?"

Xiu Ju replied, "Last time, Miss Xing borrowed our lady's chess manual, so she came here to return it and visit her."

Siqi was speechless when she heard this, so she returned the chess record. Why can't you come tomorrow? You have to come at night? If you come, why do you have to visit the girl while you are here? You are looking for trouble.

And as for Xiu Ju, just return the chess record and then send Miss Xing away. Why did you come in to report? You are such a fool.

Si Qi raised her eyes to glance at Shui Rong, pursed her pink lips, and whispered: "My Lord, how about this servant tell Miss Xing that she is not feeling well and ask her to go back?"

She actually wanted to send Xing Xiyan away directly, but with the prince present, she didn't dare to make the decision. After all, Xing Xiyan was now half the master of the palace, and she had no say in that.

Shui Rong groaned for a moment, then said, "It's okay, let Xie Yan come in!"

Since everyone is here, there is no need to send them away. Besides, he was just playing chess to kill time, so it would be perfect to let Xing Yuyan join him.

Hearing this, Siqi's heart paused, and she felt a little helpless for a moment, but she still bowed and stepped back, inviting Xing Yanyan in.

Not long after, Xing Yuyan came in after lifting the curtain. Her sparkling eyes saw the young man playing chess, and her heart skipped a beat. She said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Shui Rong looked up and saw a girl in a green dress, with long hair tied into a bun and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally. Her oval face was lightly made up, and her two curved willow-leaf eyebrows were like peaks emerging from the clouds, as light as smoke. She nodded and said, "I have nothing to do, so I came over to play chess with the second girl."

Xing Yuyan didn't say anything after hearing this. She looked at Yingchun with her beautiful willow eyes and said, "Second Miss, this is the chess manual I borrowed from you last time."

Yingchun lowered her eyebrows, a light touch of rouge appeared on her snow-white face. She reached out to take it, but didn't say anything.

In fact, Yingchun didn't want Xing Yuyan to come in at first. It wasn't because she disliked her, but she was meeting her brother-in-law in private, and even if they were just playing chess properly, she felt guilty and nervous.

Xing Yuyan vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Her beautiful eyes flickered under her willow-leaf eyebrows and she said, "My Lord, Second Miss, I'm going back first."

Shui Rong raised his eyes to look at Xing Xiyan and said, "Since Xiyan is here, there is no need to rush back. Come and sit down and chat for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yingchun's bare hand holding the black chess piece paused slightly, her bright eyes narrowed, a hint of dimness flashed in them, and her heart was filled with melancholy.

My brother-in-law asked Xing Yanyan to stay. I think he really just wanted to chat with her and had no other thoughts. I thought.
Xing Yuyan was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything. After nodding her head lightly, she saw Siqi swiftly bringing a brocade cushion and sitting down.

Shui Rong looked up at Yingchun and suddenly asked, "Second girl, have you ever played chess with Yu Yan?"

Yingchun paused, raised her soft face and looked at the boy, and said softly: "When I had nothing to do, I played chess with Yuyan, and we occasionally won and lost."

"Oh"

Hearing this, Shui Rong glanced at Xing Xiyan, feeling a little surprised. He smiled and said, "I didn't know that Xiyan could defeat the second girl. I am impressed by her!"

Yingchun is an expert in chess, so there is no need to say much about her chess skills. However, the way she plays chess also depends on her state at the time. At the very least, when Yingchun plays against Baochai, Daiyu and others, she wins more and loses less, but she will also lose.

On the other hand, Xing Xiyan is quite talented, but her family background is mediocre. She learned to read from Professor Miaoyu, but she never thought that she also has such superb chess skills.

Xing Yanyan saw the young man looking at her, and a hint of shyness appeared on her elegant face. She said softly, "It was because of the second lady's modesty that I was lucky enough to win."

Shui Rong pondered for a moment, then said, "Since Xing Yan's chess skills are extraordinary, then you can play a game with the second girl. I'll just have the chance to watch." After that, without waiting for Xing Yan to reply, he stood up and gave up his seat.

Xing Xiyan originally wanted to decline politely, but seeing that the prince had already stood up, she had to swallow her words back. Following the prince's eye signal, she stood up and walked towards the table.

Yingchun raised her eyes and glanced at Xing Xiyan, then narrowed her beautiful eyes and placed the black chess piece on the chessboard. Her snow-white cheeks were calm, as if unaffected.

Although she was thinking about playing chess with her brother-in-law, since it was a matter of chess skills, she would not be disturbed even if someone changed players temporarily.

Shui Rong gave up his seat and did not sit on the brocade cushion where Xing Xiyan had sat. He looked at the two people playing chess, with a slight movement in his heart, and sat down next to Yingchun.

Just playing chess normally is a bit boring!
Yingchun's delicate body trembled, and her white hands could hardly hold Yunzi. Her snowy face flushed, and she said with a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

It is really too embarrassing to sit next to Xing Xiyan in front of her!
Shui Rong's mouth curved up, and he stretched out his hand to hold the girl's slightly plump waist, lifted her up and sat her in his arms, and said jokingly with a smile: "Brother-in-law, let me test your willpower. If you can beat Yu Yan in my arms, I will reward you."

Yingchun's pretty face flushed, and her sparkling almond eyes under her willow-shaped eyebrows were full of shyness.

Let her sit in her brother-in-law's arms and play chess with others. How could her brother-in-law do this? He didn't know how to test his willpower like this. Don't forget that what they did was secret. This was not saying that they were abnormal in front of Xing Xiyan.

At this time, Xing Xiyan was also a little dazed. Her beautiful eyes looked at the two people in front of her in surprise, and she was shocked in her heart.

When she first saw the prince sitting next to Yingchun, she felt something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it. But now he is in her arms, and she would say this is normal, unless she is blind.

Shui Rong raised his eyes to meet Xing Xiyan's surprised eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc, and he said bluntly: "Sister Xiyan, don't be surprised, the second girl is just like you, she is my person."

When Xing Xiyan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. A hint of shyness lingered between her elegant eyebrows. A hint of rosy blush appeared on her fair face. She lowered her head and dared not speak.

It's strange. In the past, His Highness used the excuse of having tea with Sister Miaoyu, but now he uses the excuse of playing chess with Yingchun. It's really the same old thing in a different bottle!
Yingchun felt ashamed when she heard what the young man said, but at the same time, she felt happy deep in her heart, because this was the first time that her brother-in-law announced their relationship in front of "outsiders".

It's not that I care about status or anything like that, but who would want to do things secretly if they can do it openly?

Shui Rong pinched Yingchun's delicate little face and said with a smile: "Okay, Erya, let's play chess. Let me make it clear in advance that if Erya loses, there will be a punishment."

Being serious is indeed a bit boring. It would be more interesting if we add some variety.

Yingchun felt the young man's full of malice, and her heart became even more embarrassed. Her snow-white face was red as fire, her pearly teeth bit her pink lips, she raised her trembling hands, pinched a cloud piece, and placed it on the chessboard.

What can she do since her brother-in-law said and did so?

Seeing this, Xing Yanyan understood what Yingchun meant. After thinking about it, she suppressed her shyness and surprise, and tacitly grasped Yunzi and went down.

It's not like she's playing a joke on herself, she's not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

But if Xing Xiyan had known this earlier, she would not have come in.

In this way, the two of them played chess in a beautiful atmosphere, and they didn't know how many moves they made. Xing Yuyan's beautiful face frowned slightly, and she was full of doubts.

How come Yingchun's chess skills have become so rough?

Looking up and about to say something, Xing Yanyan noticed something strange in front of Yingchun. Her heart trembled, and she lowered her head with a blushing face.

This... It's really hard to describe the prince. It's also Yingchun's chess skills are so poor. At this moment, how can she have the heart to play chess?

At this moment, Yingchun's delicate body was trembling uncontrollably, her pretty face was flushed, her lips were slightly trembling, and her beautiful eyes and eyebrows were full of beauty. She didn't even have much strength to pinch Yunzi, and her heart was filled with shame.

It is unknown since when the young man started to behave unruly. Yingchun endured it as she thought of Xing Xiyan who was opposite her. However, the young man became more and more aggressive and now he even poked his head inside. It was really embarrassing.

Shui Rong felt the softness of her fingertips, with a smile on her pretty face.

I have to say that Yingchun is just known as the person who "doesn't say a word even when poked by a needle". He has been making small movements all the time, but Yingchun has always persisted. This kind of endurance is really admirable and also very inspiring.

"Ah."

Suddenly, Yingchun snorted, and then she came back to her senses. Her snowy face was flushed like clouds, and her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows were full of water. She said in a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law, please stop making trouble."

It would be fine if it was just some small movements, but now it hurts her. I'm afraid Xing Xiyan knows about it now, which is too embarrassing.

Shui Rong chuckled, leaned close to the girl's crystal earlobe, and whispered softly: "Second girl, can you still play chess?"

"Brother-in-law, I..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the boy pinched her chin and adjusted her direction. Seeing the boy approaching her with his bright eyes, the girl's heart skipped a beat, and then she felt her lips soften, and that familiar warmth came over her.

At this moment, Yingchun's beautiful eyes widened, and she caught a glimpse of Xing Yuyan with lowered eyebrows and eyes. She felt extremely embarrassed, and she didn't know why, but a strange feeling surged from the bottom of her heart, which was hard to describe.

As the young man indulged himself, Yingchun's beautiful eyes closed slightly, and her slender hands could not help but rest on the boy's shoulders.

It seems that there is no need to play this game of chess.

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Rong glanced at Xing Xiyan, raised his eyebrows, and called out, "Sister Xiyan."

Xing Xiyan's delicate body trembled, and she raised her blushing face to look at the two people who were entangled with each other. Her elegant eyes were full of shyness, which made her look more charming than before.

Xing Yuyan knew very well that the young man was calling her. The same scene had happened countless times when she was with Sister Miaoyu in the Rongcui Temple.

After thinking about it, Xing Xiyan made a decision. She bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, stood up and walked towards the two people who were entangled with each other. Then she half-knelt down, raised her trembling hands and touched the boy's belt. After a few rustlings, she lowered her head.

On one side, Siqi stared at this scene with wide eyes. Miss Xing, who was always indifferent, could actually do this. Her movements were smooth, and she must be very familiar with it.

It seems that Miss Xing has suffered a lot!

It was just that it was originally her responsibility, but Miss Xing did it for her. (End of this chapter)
