Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 677 Invitation

Because of Jing An, there was one extra person for dinner. Fortunately, Dongfang Yi ordered a lot of food, so it was enough to eat.

"I was thinking about inviting you to join us before, but now I have to make a good estimate."

After all, Jing An is a man, and it is also the time when he grows up, and his appetite alone exceeds that of the little princess and Chang Xi.

What the little princess said was of course joking, not to mention one more Jing An, even if there were a few more, they would still be able to afford it.

"It's true that I have a lot to eat." I scratched my head in embarrassment. Fortunately, I was away from home, and the emperor took care of the food and daily life. Otherwise, I really couldn't afford it.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you. You are a man, so it's inevitable that you eat a lot. When my two older brothers reach your age, I'm afraid it will be the same, especially my eldest brother."

The eldest prince is lively, likes to practice martial arts, consumes a lot of energy, and usually eats more than she and the second prince.

After eating, they sat and chatted for a while, and at the suggestion of the little princess, they came to Dongfang Yi's room together.

Naturally, the little princess and Jing An will play a game first. If he can't even win the little princess, he doesn't have to play chess with Dongfang Yi.

I bring all the chess pieces with me, and I can pass the time when I am resting on the road.

The little princess and Jing An started to play chess with each holding a chess piece, while Dongfang Yi watched from the side.

Last time, Jing An beat the little princess. After returning, he began to study chess skills. Along the way, he occasionally looked at the chess records and pondered it by himself.

While the little princess was making progress, he was also making progress, so this time, it was another hard battle between the two.

"After all, I lost to you again." Looking at the situation on the chessboard, the little princess frowned, rather unwillingly, "I will definitely not lose next time."

"The princess agrees." Seeing the dissatisfaction on the little princess's face, Jing An stood up and cupped his hands at her.

She burst into a smile, stood up too, and blessed herself, as a return of the gift.

"Mister?" Turning to look at Dongfang Yi, the little princess asked what he meant. She wanted to see what would happen if Mr. played chess with Jing An.
There is no doubt that Jing An will lose, but he does not know how long he can hold on.

"Since you lost, I, as a gentleman, have no choice but to help you get some 'fairness'."

How could he not know what the little princess was thinking, Dongfang Yi shook his head helplessly, and sat down with Jing An again.

"Anyway, I'm an elder, I can't bully you, I'll make you the third son." After sitting down, Dongfang Yi looked at Jing An and talked to him.

Jing An knew that if he played chess with Dongfang Yi, he would definitely not win, so he quickly responded.

The two each held a piece and started to play chess. The little princess and Chang Xi were watching carefully.

Jing An's chess skill is considered very good among his peers, but it is not worth mentioning in front of Dongfang Yi.

You come and I go, Jing An is surrounded by Dongfang Yi's chess pieces, as if he has no power to fight back.

"I lost." There was no need to fight trapped beasts, Jing An stood up and saluted Dongfang Yi.

"When I was your age, my chess skills were not as good as yours." Dongfang Yi looked at him and responded with a smile.

"I heard from Changle before that you are going to the south too, but we can go together. I know you have other things, so I won't delay you."

Speaking again, Dongfang Yi invited Jing An to go with him, and the little princess looked at Jing An, waiting for his response.

"Thank you, Mr. Dongfang. Since that's the case, I will move to the inn here tomorrow."

Walking with Dongfang Yi, I can learn a lot. Besides, he also said that it will not delay his affairs.

That being the case, he is naturally willing.

What Jing An didn't know was that Dongfang Yi invited him to accompany him mainly for the sake of the little princess. He knew that Jing An was ordered by the emperor to work abroad.

If the little princess can help him, it will be of great help to the little princess.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest, see you tomorrow." Jing An's room was not in this inn, seeing that it was getting late, Dongfang Yi spoke again.

"Since that's the case, I'll leave first and come back tomorrow." They agreed to go together and move to the inn here tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to each other, Jing An left the inn.

"Take a rest, sir. Chang Xi and I have also returned to the room." After Jing An left, the little princess greeted Dongfang Yi and brought Chang Xi back to the room.

A mistress prepared hot water for the two of them to bathe and change clothes.

The bed in the inn is big enough for two people to live in one room.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Jing An came to the inn and stayed next to Dongfang Yi's room.

The little princess and Chang Xi woke up early, and exercised for a while according to their habits.

After changing clothes and tidying up, I saw Jing An, and the group had breakfast together.

I didn't leave the inn yesterday, and I still have to stay for another day today. Dongfang Yi left the inn with the three of them.

"The scenery around here is good." Passing through several alleys, Dongfang Yi led the three of them towards the nearby village.

Now that it's cold, everyone is wearing thick clothes.

While walking, Dongfang Yi was talking to the little princess, and Jing An listened carefully, but it was rewarding.

Lunch is served in the village, such an experience is very new to Jing An.

Walking along the way, he faintly realized that Dongfang Yi's training of the little princess had something else in it.

Anyway, for the next road, we have to walk together, and we will know after careful observation when the time comes.

When we returned to the inn, it was already evening. After dinner, everyone rested separately. After all, we had to continue our journey tomorrow.

This year's New Year's Eve will be spent outside, but the little princess doesn't care too much.

Emperor Chen was in the capital, and had already sent people to deliver things to the two princesses.

As for the prince... nothing.

…………

After walking for more than half a year, the First Prince finally arrived at the Northwest Border Pass. He came rushing here, so he didn't have much time to stay on the way.

It was extremely cold at the northwest border, but luckily he wore enough clothes so that he didn't get frozen.

"If I remember correctly, Second Uncle is at the northwest border, the two of us, should we go directly to Second Uncle?"

Shen Xu rode on the horse and asked the eldest prince, this is the northwest border gate, where Shen Xiao was stationed.

In addition to being Shen Xu's second uncle, Shen Xiao is also the first prince's cousin. Shen Xu felt that since he was here, he had to say hello.

"Of course we need to look for it, but don't worry, let's go around the border first." The eldest prince responded, urging his horse to move forward.

He didn't know that Gu Sheng got the news shortly after he arrived at the northwest border.

There are hidden guards around the First Prince, and there are also hidden guards in the northwest border pass, guarding the General's Mansion to protect Gu Sheng.

Although the dark guards didn't know each other, they could recognize each other's identities through the marks.

The hidden guards beside Gu Sheng have already reported the news to Gu Sheng.

Unexpectedly, there were other hidden guards coming here, Gu Sheng was very curious about the identity of the other party.
