Chapter 497 Seeing off (1)
"Ok!"

Yun Zheng straightened the chessboard, the black and white pieces returned to their respective positions, Xia Qingge was next to the white pieces, and Yun Zheng was next to the black pieces.

"Let me play first!" Xia Qingge smiled slyly, picked up a white piece and put it on the chessboard, Yun Zheng took a closer look, and then followed closely behind.

The two quickly entered the chess game, as if two controllers who controlled the Daquan of Life and Death, watching the situation on the chessboard with a cold eye.

The smoke rises, the wind and rain rage, the universe turns, the gods and demons descend, and the sparrows and tigers give birth to greedy wolves.

The situation on the chessboard changed, the two of them kept their eyes on each other, and neither of them gave in. They really put on the posture of a decisive battle on the battlefield.

"You lost." Yun Zheng stretched out his slender hand and dropped the sunspot in his hand into the chess game, smiling at the woman with an indifferent and elegant face sitting opposite him.

The woman smiled lightly, and raised the white piece in her hand to play leisurely: "Now the white piece in my hand has become the target of public criticism. If I lose the chess, it will inevitably lead to the defeat of our army. If I don't lose, I will become a traitor in the army. Difficult, ultimately difficult to decide."

Seeing the hesitation in Xia Qingge's eyes, but the hidden sharpness in the depths of his pupils, Yun Zheng seemed to wake up suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

"Even if you are in a dilemma, you still have to make a decision."

"Yeah, that's why I thought, whether I should be this traitor or not. Looking at the overall situation, it's just this little white ball in my hand that decides the outcome."

"But you are destined to lose." Yun Zheng picked up a cup of warm tea next to him, took a sip gracefully, and quietly paid attention to the situation on the chessboard.

Xia Qingge smiled, with a hint of mischievousness and humor, and placed the white piece in his hand on top of the other white piece: "I can neither retreat nor attack, so I can only replace it and find a substitute for myself, without leaving an eternal infamy." And it won't cause Xiao Qiang to be harmed by this and cause death."

Yun Zheng remained silent, but the teacup in his hand shook slightly.

Xia Qingge pushed out another white son and continued: "I heard that the emperor appointed Xiao Zhenhai as the censor of the left capital this time. It is rumored that he is very successful, arrogant, and has the arrogance of a child of an aristocratic family. This time he is inferior to you when he goes south." I'm afraid that I will be dissatisfied."

"I understand!"

It doesn't seem like an exaggeration to describe the winter weather as icy, but the winter in the north can be described as the most severe. Xia Qingge spent more than a month in his bedroom and study, rarely stepping out of the Zixia courtyard, except to go to Only when I visit the old lady in the Fushou Hospital will I walk a little or two.

"Miss, it will be the old lady's 65th birthday in a few days. Aunt Liang just sent word that the old lady's 65th birthday, what do you plan to do." Qiaolan said softly while helping Xia Qingge tidy up the cloak on her body.

Xia Qingge stood quietly, raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror, the woman in the bronze mirror had a face like a bright moon, red lips and white teeth, a pair of big watery eyes with a slight smile, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, quite delicate and light.

"Notify the second and third wives of this matter. Now that they are all living in the mansion, and the new year is approaching, the old lady's 65th birthday cannot be neglected. Although I am in charge of Zhongfu now, I can do my filial piety for the old lady. Left and right to be the responsibility of children and grandchildren."

"Yes, the servant understands. When I have time later, the servant will order someone to bring the young lady's wishes."

"Well, what has Aunt Liang done recently?" I haven't thought of this person for a long time. Although Xia Ziqing was in the mansion during this period, he hardly came to the backyard. The old lady asked her to arrange some people to serve Xia Ziqing many times. She excused herself.

Although she didn't tell Xia Ziqing directly, she felt that Xia Ziqing probably thought the same way.

In the past few months, the mansion has been very peaceful. The second uncle and his family moved back to the Guogong mansion, the uncle Xia Ziqing returned to the mansion, the third aunt and the fifth younger sister have also lived in the mansion, plus the eldest and second aunts and concubines. Originally, Xia Qingge guessed that the house would definitely be in chaos from now on, but he never expected that the aunts in the second room were unusually quiet, even the second wife was so quiet, and Xia Yumeng, who made her most wary, seemed to be in the middle of three After Murong Yu entered the barracks a month ago, he seldom wandered around for nothing.

Such a quiet day made her feel too weird, and when it was too calm, it was often the prelude to the storm.

Qiaolan raised her eyebrows tightly, as if she hadn't thought of this person for a long time: "Miss doesn't mention her, this servant has really forgotten such a person, it's strange to say, this Aunt Liang's personality is very different from before when she returned home, If it hadn't happened to meet Xi Yu who was beside her today, this servant would have almost forgotten him."

Xia Qingge smiled lightly, and looked through the mirror at the white snow in the yard behind him: "How can a person's personality be changed so easily?"

Shaking his head: "Okay, let's leave the house now!"

"Yes, the young prince is going on an expedition today, don't you really want to go to Shiliting to see him off?"

"No need, he's going out soon, I don't want him to be distracted."

Qiaolan shook her head secretly, sometimes she felt that the young lady was too calm in dealing with things, it was because of her seemingly strong and calm attitude that she seemed to be quite indifferent to many things, but she knew in her heart that the young lady really wanted to see the little prince off of.

Fengxian Tower

There is a solitary building above Lingfeng, which is independent of the world, ethereal like a fairyland, and now the mountain peaks are already covered with snow, and the Dongping Lake is three feet frozen, and the snow is floating.

The entire Fengxian Tower was covered by a pure white world.

A carriage came slowly, and the coachman drove the carriage very carefully. The thick snow on the narrow road had already been crushed into uneven gullies, and two fine horses were struggling to drive.

"Miss, we're here." Mu Jin raised the curtain of the car, and a gust of cold wind rushed towards her face immediately.

The snow-white scenery outside made her eyes hurt, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and quickly lowered the curtain.

"Get out of the car!" Xia Qingge ordered lightly, and Qiaolan beside her jumped out of the carriage first and put down the low stool, and then Mu Jin helped Xia Qingge down.

"Miss is here!"

Just after the three of her master and servant entered Fengxian Tower, a man in a blue cotton robe walked up to him. He was wearing a rabbit down hat to keep out the cold. He was about forty years old. Folding his hands respectfully, he nodded slightly.

Xia Qingge took a closer look, and knew in his heart that this person must be a respectable figure in the Wan family with a generous and decent manner.

"Mr. is the person sent by Mr. Wan?"

"Miss Hui, the villain is right. My master is waiting for you in Tianzi No. [-] room, please."

Xia Qingge smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Mr. Lao is here."

Seeing Xia Qingge's dignified manner and elegant appearance, he secretly admired it in his heart, and then led Xia Qingge's master and servant up to the third floor of Fengxian Tower.
