The King of Thieves: The Thief Princess

Chapter 38 (40)

When Xing'er woke up, it was already high in the sun.

The warm morning light reflected the warmth of the room, but she frowned slightly, feeling a little troubled.

Beating the head of the bed angrily, if it wasn't because Yi Qinghan made her happy last night, how could she not sleep all night?

Get up in a hurry, the two handsome maids have been waiting outside the door for a long time.She smiled sarcastically, and was about to ask the maid.The maid has already spoken in a crisp voice: "Miss Xing'er, the little prince has given orders in the morning. The little prince will go to the court early, and come back to accompany you when he returns home!"

The eyes they looked at her were full of envy and ambiguity, as if mixed with a strange jealousy.Yes, that's the look!

Xing'er braced herself, washed her hair indiscriminately, and hurriedly escaped from the terrifying gazes.

The garden in Wangfuli is very grand, with a lake of spring water, ripples of light, clusters of flowers on both sides, willow catkins blowing in the wind, birds chirping, under the bright sunlight, spring is everywhere and full of vitality.

Xing'er wandered around in the garden by herself, inhaling the faint fragrance of flowers, admiring the scenery of the garden, feeling very comfortable.

The palace is the palace, its identity, its dignity, without words, are naturally displayed in the decoration.

At the end of the Jiuqu palace corridor, there is a pavilion standing quietly in the blue waves. The delicate Xiang curtain is half-rolled, and the soft willow branches are gently drooping.An old man with gray hair and satin robe sat beside the jade table, his eyes were fixed on the jade table, concentrated and motionless.

Xing'er's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became interested.What is it that is worth such a waste of sleep and food?

He walked over lightly, leaned on the vermilion fence, raised his head curiously, looked at the old man, and then at the jade table.A black and white chess game was placed on the jade table. The old man was majestic, his face was slightly sluggish, his brows were furrowed, and he was concentrating on the chess game, as if he was extremely entangled.

He was twiddling a white piece with his fingers, hesitating, hesitating whether to give it up or give it up.Xing'er stared at him for a long time, his hand was still frozen in the air, and the white piece between his fingers had not been put into the chess game for a long time.

Enthusiasm becomes dull.Xing'er suddenly became angry, couldn't bear it anymore, and blurted out angrily: "Are you going to let it go or not? How long will it take?"

The old man was startled suddenly, he raised his eyes to stare at Xing'er, who was full of anger, and Bai Zi slipped from between his fingers and landed in the middle of the chessboard. "You... who are you? You're so bold... don't you understand 'a real gentleman who watches chess without talking'..."

Xing'er snorted lightly, and said disdainfully: "I said you are weird? It's okay to play chess with yourself, but you are hesitant about your own chess game, it is difficult to make a move, and I watched it for a long time, but I still don't know The result! You are teasing me on purpose, so you won’t let me eat in peace, right?”

The old man was dumbfounded listening to her long speech, his jaw almost dropped.This woman is really inexplicable, weird and rude, I have lived most of my life, and I have never seen a woman who behaves so weirdly!
"You... who the hell are you? How could you move around freely in the palace?" He lowered his face, and his tone was majestic.Xing'er rolled her eyes, and suddenly stretched out her hand to shake the chessboard.

The old man was furious.Her whole body trembled with excitement, she stared at her for a while, her lips trembling: "You, you... this ignorant little girl..." He breathed heavily in his chest, obviously very angry.

"Since we can't decide whether to win or lose, let's let it go. It may not be a bad thing!" Xing'er smiled, raised her eyebrows, and said with a high air, "You have to thank me for making this decision for you!"
