Concubine Jinghua: The black-bellied prince, please stay here

Chapter 91

Seeing her sincere expression, Xiao Ying lowered his head, picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth, and sipped lightly. Sure enough, the fragrance was lingering and full of aftertaste.

"This tea is good." He said simply.

Ye Lingxu squinted his eyes deludedly, taking in the expressions of the two of them, still gently rubbing the teacup with his fingertips, he picked up the cup, and took another sip, "Young Master Xiao, you Since you and Chuchu are friends, then you are also half of my king's friend. Chuchu is a good person."

Xiao Ying's mind fluttered, and his words were all sweet.

Does Ye Lingxu also like her in his heart?

Ye Lingxu said again, "I invite you here today because I sincerely want to learn how to play chess with Mr. Xiao. I also ask Mr. Xiao to teach me."

Xiao Ying pursed her lips, didn't look at him, and said in a muffled voice, "It's not a lesson, it's an honor to play chess with King Qin."

Sitting next to Fang Chuchu, seeing the two men exchanging hypocritical and tactful greetings, she felt anxious for them.She took a sip of the tea in the cup, stood up, and talked eloquently, "His Royal Highness Xiao Gongzi, you talk, I won't bother you anymore. I saw someone releasing paper kites on the mountain just now, so I'll go and see too." Hope she His departure will allow the two men to talk freely.

Xiao Ying looked up at the sun outside the pavilion, lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then turned around and said to Changshou behind him, "Changshou, I don't want you to serve me here. Go down and play with Miss Chuchu too." His words were clear. It is said that Changshou is on leave, but in fact it is to let Changshou take care of Fang Chuchu more.

Changshou used to feel itchy when he saw the paper kites flying in the sky, but now that Xiao Ying gave him a holiday, he was naturally overjoyed.But I was worried about leaving Xiao Ying alone in the pavilion, just in case... Xiao Ying saw the hesitation in Changshou's eyes, and said, "It's okay, you go down. I have something to talk to His Highness King Qin."

The words were so straightforward, Fang Chuchu also guessed that Xiao Ying had something to say to Ye Lingxu, she also generously greeted Changshou, and led Changshou down.

In the huge pavilion, only Ye Lingxu and Xiao Ying were left.The breeze blew gently, and Ye Lingxu sat with a bright and clean figure, a pair of eyes as deep as black orange looked at it strangely, and his slender fingers picked up the porcelain surface of the teacup intentionally or unintentionally.

"Young Master Xiao, what can you say directly?"

Xiao Ying held back, blinking her thin and dense eyelashes lightly, "Who is Fang Chuchu in His Highness King Qin's heart?"

"She is a pawn of this king." Ye Lingxu swept his eagle eyes treacherously, and said simply.

Xiao Ying didn't seem to expect that Ye Lingxu would answer him so bluntly. He looked up at Ye Lingxu in surprise, and said vaguely, "Since it's a chess piece, it may be discarded one day. Then you... "

Ye Lingxu immediately interrupted him, his face was like the twilight of the dark sun, "It is true that she is just a pawn of this king. But one day if this king finishes revenge, if she wants to leave, this king will still not detain her of."

Xiao Ying shook his head lightly, and obviously said in disbelief, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me for taking the liberty. I feel that few of your royal family's words can be trusted."

Ye Lingxu narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and asked back, "Young Master Xiao seems to be very concerned about Chuchu's affairs."

There was a trace of unnaturalness on Xiao Ying's face, he bowed his head, and said guiltily, "How can I say, he is also my wife's sister."

Ye Lingxu's deep eyes looked treacherously, "I don't think it's that simple. Mr. Xiao... seems to like Chuchu."

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingxu would see through his thoughts, his heart was shocked, he was embarrassed and flustered, and immediately responded, "His Royal Highness Qin Wang misunderstood, I... don't have any unreasonable thoughts about her..."

Ye Lingxu's handsome face was tense, and he suddenly laughed lightly, "Mr. Xiao is shy, and the relationship between men and women is normal. You like Chuchu, and Chuchu almost became your wife, which proves that you two are It's fate."

"But...she seems to have someone she likes in her heart..." Xiao Ying's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily, and he clenched his sleeves tightly. "Besides, that person will indeed be much better than this one." At least he has sound limbs, and he is a disabled person who is not good at walking.

Ye Lingxu glanced at him with cold eyes, and said with a sneer, "A man likes a woman, but hides and shrinks like this, which is really insulting to a man. Since you like her, you should just If she doesn't accept it, then you can fight for it, nothing in this world will fall from the sky."

"But..." Xiao Ying looked sad, looking at his own feet.

Ye Lingxu glanced at him, and said firmly, "There is nothing wrong. Mr. Xiao has been drawing a circle for himself for a long time. Over the years, the most you have done is to draw the ground as a prison. You confine yourself in the Xiao's house." In this patch of sky, you don’t think about anything, say anything, or do anything. Although you are famous, you have always had low self-esteem in your heart. Instead of doing this, why don’t you try to get out of the study first , The sky is like a fish leaping, and the sea is wide enough for a bird to fly. You are the son of the Xiao family, how can your future actions be inferior to others. "

Xiao Ying was startled, his whole body went stiff, and he felt hot blood rushing to his head.

No one has ever said these words to him.

Just as Ye Lingxu said, in the eyes of outsiders, he is the eldest son of the Xiao family, and others look at him more with envy.But he himself knew that he felt very inferior, even though he lacked everything.But his legs, and his body... Ye Lingxu's sharp edge grabbed Xiao Ying's pale face like a preying eagle, "Mr. After revenge, Chuchu is willing, and this king will definitely fulfill you two. After all, you two were originally a couple, and as for what happened in the middle, I can only say that you and Fang Chuchu were plotted against."

Xiao Ying lowered his eyes, and an imperceptible smile suddenly floated across his pale face, like a small fish diving into a calm lake, and quickly disappeared in the bottomless water after a few seconds, as if it had never appeared Pass.

Ye Lingxu swept away the haze on his handsome face, and felt that the time was almost up, so he took out a bill from his sleeve, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xiao Ying, "Young Master Xiao, I hope you can read this .”

Ye Lingxu frowned slightly, took the piece of paper with thin cool fingertips, spread it out to see, there were some words written on it with vigorous strokes, he swept it casually, and a strange light swept across his pupils, and then He raised his head again, and looked at Ye Lingxu puzzled, "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, you are quite willing to pay for it."

Ye Lingxu smiled, and stretched out his hand to twirl a handful of hair, "It's about business, since your Xiao family is in business, I think it's appropriate to have an exchange of equal value."

Xiao Ying nodded lightly, "The reason why my father refused to donate money to the imperial court this time is nothing more than worrying that officials from all over the country will fill their pockets, and finally there is very little money left in the hands of the victims. However, since His Royal Highness Willing to send your own soldiers to deliver the relief goods, and also willing to send your confidants to the disaster area to take care of these relief goods in person, I think it is quite safe."

Ye Ling Xu Lie's eyes darkened, and he smiled faintly, "If I don't do it, let me do it. If I want to do it, I must show the most sincerity. Otherwise, I will let everyone down. And just like Xiao Gongzi saw it. , after the drought in southern Xinjiang passes, this king promises to give priority to the expansion of your Xiao family's shops there."

Although Xiao Ying seldom intervened in the Xiao family's business dealings, he still had the acumen of a businessman in his bones.Hearing Ye Lingxu's words, he said sensitively, "These promises made by His Royal Highness King Qin, I will go back and talk with my father together."

Ye Lingxu nodded, his beautiful facial features were tinged with a slight smile, "With Mr. Xiao, I can rest assured." As he spoke, his fingertips moved, and he picked up the teacup again and put it on the cup. On the edge of his lips, he blew lightly, and then slowly tasted it again.

Xiao Ying had nothing to say, so he could only drink another cup of tea with Ye Lingxu.

"Young Master Xiao, since the business has been discussed, let's play a game of chess with the king." Yeling Xulie squinted slightly, and two deep lines appeared between the handsome brows.Xiao Ying raised her eyelashes slightly, looked up at the sky outside the pavilion, the sky was blue, and there were paper kites flying in it.

"Okay then." He nodded slightly.

Ye Lingxu clapped his hands, and soon someone brought a chessboard made of sandalwood. Xiao Ying looked at the chessboard carefully, and said in surprise, "His Royal Highness, your chessboard is a good thing. If Xiao I guessed right, it should have been used by Chinese chess master Zhang Minzhi."

Ye Lingxu nodded slightly, "Young Master Xiao is a man of knowledge."

In a short while, the chess game has been set up, Xiao Ying is holding the white pieces, Ye Lingxu is holding the black pieces.Black goes first, white moves behind.The two quickly fought each other on the chessboard.

In this battle, Xiao Ying got off to a smooth start, and even took a few chess pieces from Ye Lingxu.And Ye Lingxu played steadily, and after being eaten by him a lot of chess pieces, he was still calm and calm, with a relaxed and indifferent expression.

"Young Master Xiao is really good at chess." Ye Lingxu said with a smile.

Xiao Ying grabbed a white piece and captured Ye Lingxu's black piece.Ye Lingxu squinted his deep black eyes, smiled unhappily, and followed suit with a black chess piece, gently placing it in an seemingly insignificant position.

Xiao Ying couldn't figure out Ye Lingxu's tactics, but dared to relax, so he could only play chess according to his own feelings.Step by step to eat the sunspots on Ye Lingxu's chessboard.Until later, the black chess pieces were surrounded by the white chess pieces on the entire board. Seeing that Xiao Ying was about to win, Ye Lingxu suddenly raised his handsome eyebrows wickedly, glanced at Xiao Ying, and passed Xiao Ying's sharp eyes. While looking at Ying's face, he looked at it slightly.

"Young Master Xiao, it's my king's turn to attack."

Xiao Ying hadn't fully understood what he said, but Ye Lingxu had already started to attack aggressively.Although there are not many chess pieces left in his hand, wherever she goes, there is no rush.The situation on the chessboard was reversed in an instant. Xiao Ying did not expect that his previous victory would be reversed overnight. He was stunned and racked his brains to break Ye Lingxu's game.However, it turns out that he can only be wishful.

The final result was Xiao Ying's defeat, and Ye Lingxu suppressed Xiao Ying severely with just a few chess pieces.

"Young Master Xiao, I accept it." Ye Lingxu cupped his hands.

Xiao Ying stared at the chessboard in a daze, and when he heard Ye Lingxu's words, he nodded sullenly, "His Royal Highness Qin Wang is polite, Xiao is convinced that he lost."
