Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 214 Playing Chess
On the second day after Xuanyuan Chen left, the Queen Mother also decided to pack up her things and prepare to return to the palace.

Xuanyuan Hong originally thought that he would stay here for a few more days because of the empress dowager's previous strength, but when he was praying in the morning, he heard the empress dowager said that he was going to return to the capital the next day.

When Qin Ziling heard the news, he was naturally happy, but Xuanyuan Hong didn't want to just put Qin Ziling back in Prince Rui's residence.

After eating at noon, Xuanyuan Hong went to the Empress Dowager's meditation room.

"Grandmother, the children and grandchildren thought you would stay for a few more days, why do you suddenly want to go back?"

Xuanyuanhong asked casually while pouring tea for the queen mother.

The queen mother squinted her eyes, letting Mammy Mao pinch her shoulders.

"It's a bit cold in the temple, Ai's family wants to go back. Why, does Hong'er want to stay for a few more days?"

The queen mother thought that Xuanyuanhong liked it here, so she was a little bit reluctant.

Opening her eyes, the queen mother looked at Xuanyuanhong lovingly.

Xuanyuan Hong knew that the Queen Mother was not in good health, so he wanted to go back. If he directly told the Queen Mother that he wanted to stay, the Queen Mother would definitely let him stay here by himself.

But what he wanted was for Qin Ziling to stay here, or to stay in the palace, so he must find a way to keep Qin Ziling by his side.

Suddenly, Xuanyuanhong thought of one thing. Didn't the queen mother always want Dexin to have sex with Xuanyuanyi, so that Dexin could win Xuanyuanyi's heart?

"I don't know what happened to Princess Dexin recently?"

The queen mother was looking at Xuanyuanhong lovingly, but when she heard Xuanyuanhong's question, she was surprised.

The relationship between Xuanyuanhong and Dexin in the palace is not considered good. I don't know why Xuanyuanhong suddenly mentioned Dexin today, and cared about her affairs.

Seeing the surprised look on the Empress Dowager's face, Xuanyuan Hong quickly explained.

"The soldiers who went to the frontier this time were all trained by Prince Rui, and we also have connections with foreign countries, so our children and grandchildren are a little worried..."

The next thing, Xuanyuan Hong didn't say anything, the Queen Mother knew it too.

He was worried that Xuanyuan Yi would send his own people to investigate there, as long as they found out a little information, it would be enough for them.

The queen mother also knew the importance of this matter, so she sent a letter to there a few days ago.She knew that Xuanyuan Hong must have greeted him in advance.

But besides explaining to their side, they have no other way. It is impossible to break the relationship with that side forever, so they can only let the people there be more careful.

He knew why Xuanyuanhong asked Dexin just now. He wanted to know something about Xuanyuanyi through Dexin, or to control Xuanyuanyi through Dexin.

But the Empress Dowager felt that it was because Xuanyuanhong didn't understand Dexin's status in Prince Rui's residence, so he said that.

With Dexin's current situation in Prince Rui's Mansion, she can only cause trouble for her in Prince Rui's Mansion, and if she helps, Dexin can't intervene at all.

"Don't count on Dexin, Prince Rui doesn't pay attention to her at all, until now, Prince Rui hasn't visited her room once."

Dexin has been married to Prince Rui's Mansion for several months, and until now she has not had a roommate with Prince Rui, which is enough to show that she has no status at all in Prince Rui's Mansion.

Xuanyuanhong knew about Dexin's situation in Prince Rui's residence, but today, no matter how Prince Rui treated Dexin, he would describe Dexin as very promising.

Only in that way can Xuanyuanhong find a reason to let Qin Ziling stay in the palace.

As long as Qin Ziling returned to Prince Rui's residence this time, he would have no chance to get close to Qin Ziling.

"But, Imperial Grandmother, have you ever thought about this matter? In the past, Prince Rui did not go to Princess Dexin's room because Prince Rui's side concubine was in the residence. Staying in the barracks, so I don't have time to go back to the palace. As long as Prince Rui returns to the palace this time, he will most likely go to Princess Dexin's room."

Although Xuanyuanhong didn't know much about Dexin, he still sent someone to investigate, so he still knew the general situation.

After hearing Xuanyuanhong's words, the queen mother still felt disappointed with Dexin.

After such a long time, Qin Ziling was also left in the palace by her, but there was still no progress on Dexin's side.It is also impossible for her to keep Qin Ziling in the palace forever, as soon as Qin Ziling returns, Dexin will have no chance.

"You don't know about Dexin's situation. It is basically impossible to control Prince Rui through Dexin."

The queen mother directly explained this matter to Xuanyuanhong, she was thinking that if Xuanyuanhong had something and was controlled by Xuanyuanyi, it was better not to pin her hopes on Dexin.

Xuanyuanhong's purpose is completely different from that of the queen mother, and he never thought of relying on Dexin to control Xuanyuanyi.

Therefore, even if he thinks differently from the queen mother now, as long as the queen mother finally agrees to keep Qin Ziling in the palace, his goal today can be regarded as achieved.

"In the past few days, the children and grandchildren will arrange the affairs of Princess Dexin and Prince Rui. The children and grandchildren are of their own use. I also hope that the imperial grandmother can help the children and grandchildren this time."

Xuanyuan Hong didn't explain the reason to the Queen Mother. He believed that, judging from the Queen Mother's love for him now, the Queen Mother would definitely agree.

really.Although the queen mother didn't know why Xuanyuanhong did this, since Xuanyuanhong had already asked her to help, she would definitely not refuse.

And she also believed that Xuanyuan Hong would not let her down.

"Alright, although the Ai family doesn't know what you want to do, as long as Hong'er wants to do it, the Ai family will fully support you."

Hearing what the queen mother said, Xuanyuan Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.As long as the queen mother agrees to him, then Qin Ziling will definitely be kept in the palace by the queen mother.

Originally, when Qin Ziling heard that the queen mother was going back the next day, she was secretly happy, thinking that her queen mother would definitely agree that she would forget the house this time.

So when he returned to the meditation room, Qin Ziling happily asked Lu He to start packing.

"By the way, side concubine, this hat is still here."

Just when Luhe started to pack her things, she found the hat Qin Ziling bought for Xuanyuan Mingzhe last time.

When Qin Ziling saw the hat, he felt a little tangled in his heart.

This hat should have been given to Xuanyuan Hong the last time she bought it back, but because last time Xuanyuan Hong arrived at the gate of the temple, he just said goodbye to her and left.

So she didn't have time to give this hat to Xuanyuan Hong at that time, and she kept it until now.

"Forget it, bring it here, my side concubine will send it to him now."

Qin Ziling originally thought that she would be separated from the queen mother and the others on the way back to the capital this time, so she naturally needed to hand over this hat to Xuanyuanhong now.

Arriving at Xuanyuanhong's Zen room, when Qin Ziling entered, Xuanyuanhong was sitting by the window with a game of Go in front of him.

"Prince Rui's side concubine is here, do you want to arrange the next round of this palace?"

Xuanyuanhong didn't get up, he held a chess piece in his hand, and said to Qin Ziling with a smile.

Holding the hat in her hand, Qin Ziling originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the longing in Xuanyuanhong's eyes, Qin Ziling didn't have time to refuse for a while.

And Xuanyuanhong just saw this moment, and quickly asked the little eunuch beside him to take the hat from Qin Ziling's hand. "Prince Rui's side concubine, this way please."

There was no other way, Qin Ziling finally sat opposite Xuanyuanhong.

Xuanyuanhong looked at Qin Ziling who was sitting opposite, and landed a sunspot on the chessboard between his fingers.

Qin Ziling learned things very quickly. After the last sparring with Xuanyuanhong, Qin Ziling's chess skills were still not as good as Xuanyuanhong's, but they were much better than at the beginning.

For the next time, neither of them spoke again.

Qin Ziling frowned and looked at the chessboard, while Xuanyuanhong looked at Qin Ziling with the pieces between his fingers.

Although Qin Ziling tried her best to play chess, she still lost in the end.But she lost by one son.

Qin Ziling is not stupid, she knows Xuanyuanhong's chess skills, so this time, Xuanyuanhong obviously let her down.

"Prince Rui's concubine's chess skills have really improved a lot."

Qin Ziling wasn't really stupid, how could she not understand Xuanyuanhong's words.

"It's also thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's promise."

Isn't it just pretending to be polite? He will too.

Xuanyuanhong didn't quarrel with Qin Ziling any more, but smiled lightly when he picked up the tea.

"Will Prince Rui's side concubine want to play another round?"

Seeing the unconvinced Qin Ziling, Xuanyuanhong proposed.

Although Qin Ziling knew that Xuanyuanhong had deliberately let her lose by only one step just now, just to arouse her competitive spirit.But Qin Ziling's competitive spirit was really aroused.

"Okay, then let's play another round. This time, His Royal Highness, don't give up the concubine again."

She couldn't believe it anymore, as a modern person, she could still be stumped by an ancient person.

Even though he knew that he had fallen into Xuanyuanhong's trap, Qin Ziling jumped straight into it.

This time, Qin Ziling put away her indifferent mood, and dealt with Xuanyuanhong's every move seriously.

Xuanyuanhong knew that Qin Ziling was very smart, so when he saw Qin Ziling's serious expression, Xuanyuanhong also cheered up.

Although Qin Ziling played chess very hard, he was still inferior to Xuanyuan Hong who had been playing chess for so many years.

But this time, although Qin Ziling lost, it was not as bad as last time.This time, Xuanyuanhong also dealt with it with [-] points of energy, and only managed to beat Qin Ziling by one step.

"The chess skills that let me eat, it seems that if I play another game, I can beat Bengong."

Xuanyuanhong's words were extremely sincere. If there was another game, he really didn't have much confidence in winning Qin Ziling.

Qin Ziling just smiled faintly.

"It's getting late, this hat, this concubine was sent to His Highness the Crown Prince. Regarding the pencil, if His Highness the Crown Prince has any questions, you can send someone to Prince Rui's Mansion."

After Qin Ziling finished speaking, she got up and prepared to leave.

Xuanyuan Hong looked at the back of Qin Ziling leaving, thinking that Qin Ziling probably thought that he would be able to return to Prince Rui's Mansion tomorrow, so he was anxious to send him the hat today.

Unfortunately, things far exceeded her expectations.

Qin Ziling really didn't know anything about the Empress Dowager's desire to keep her in the palace.Until she went to bed at night, Qin Ziling thought that she would be able to return to Prince Rui's Mansion tomorrow.
