Yijia Yishi

Chapter 365 Playing Chess

Such a woman is not restless.

What's more, she is still the empress dowager's niece. With such a name, she naturally wants to hold everything in this family in the palm of her hand.

The princess doesn't like He Ruyi, but she has to be perfunctory in face.

Similarly, He Ruyi also despises the princess. First, the princess is not Huo Tiankang's biological mother. To her, she can respect or disrespect her.Second, the princess has a son under her knees, and this is what gives her a headache.

The so-called cold tea, Huo Tiankang's biological mother has been dead for so many years, even if the prince loves Huo Tiankang, can he continue to love him?

If the princess blows the pillow wind in his ear, maybe one day the wind direction will change.

Both are afraid of each other.

Lu Shuyi has a clear mind, so she can naturally see the subtleties between the two.

She could feel the concubine's defense against He Ruyi.

I have to say that as long as there are women in the high courtyard, there will never be a shortage of fights.

Lu Shuyi sighed slightly in her heart, and the princess told her in a low voice: "This palace is no different from other places. If you take a wrong step or say a wrong sentence, it is very likely that you will be used by others to suppress you in the future, so what we can do is to grasp it. Be yourself, understand?"

These words were very vague, but Lu Shuyi knew what the princess wanted to express.

She nodded and thanked the princess for her kindness.

When the two of them walked all the way to the study, they happened to run into Huo Tianyou.

Huo Tianyou looked in a good mood, his smile was extraordinarily bright, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and his whole body was radiant.

The concubine was naturally happy to see her son, she hurriedly held him back and refused to let him pay his respects, she only cared: "Have you had lunch yet?"

Huo Tianyou shook his head, facing his mother's extremely gentle tone, "The son is useless, I heard that you... You brought Yi'er to play chess with your father, let me take a look." It lightly fell on Lu Shuyi's body, like velvet fluff scattered in the sky, making people feel warm.

Lu Shuyi's face immediately turned red.

Speaking of which, she is not the kind of girl who has no concentration. After all, she has lived a whole life longer than others, and has experienced so much suffering. However, when facing Huo Tianyou, she just can't calm down. The shyness of a little girl.

Huo Tianyou liked her reaction very much, it made him feel sweet.

The concubine is someone who has been here, so she knows what her son is doing without looking at her. She coughed dryly, and slapped Huo Tianyou lightly on the shoulder: "You kid, why are you here? Could it be that I can make her feel wronged?" But it was a gentle smile.

Huo Tianyou immediately chuckled and said: "Look where you are thinking, isn't your son afraid that Yi'er is ignorant and will embarrass you?"

While talking, he winked at Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi held back her laughter, thinking that Huo Tianyou like this was quite cute.

The concubine couldn't help but also laughed: "Slick tongue." But she said with a serious face: "Your father still wants to play chess with Yi'er after lunch..."

She was still a little worried.

However, Huo Tianyou had a disapproving expression, and said very relaxedly: "Yi'er's chess skills are not bad, and my father has met an opponent."

The corners of Lu Shuyi's mouth curled up.

Huo Tianyou still understood her.

The princess was very worried and said: "You also know your father's temper, what if he is unhappy?"

Huo Tianyou shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

He was very sure, but the princess was worried.

A group of people went to the flower hall together, and the food was arranged in the flower hall, and Huo Tianyou also had lunch together.

The rules of the people in the palace are very strict, and they don't even hear a cough when eating.

Lu Shuyi ate carefully, and after drinking half a bowl of lotus seed porridge, she put down the bowl and didn't move her chopsticks.

However, the food in Wangfu is really delicious, with good ingredients and good taste, no wonder Huo Tianyou who raised him is so picky.

The meal was very dull, and the bored people almost suffocated. After rinsing their mouths and drinking hot tea again, Lord Huo said: "The game just now was not satisfying, let's play another game."

"You just finished your meal, do you want to rest?" Wang Hao asked softly.

Lord Huo waved his hand domineeringly: "No need..."

After that, without saying a word, he went to the study and sat down.

The princess had no choice but to bring Lu Shuyi and Huo Tianyou there.

Huo Tianyou secretly encouraged Lu Shuyi: "You just play, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, as long as you do your best."

Lu Shuyi nodded shyly.

After sitting down, the two started to play again, but no matter how Lord Huo cracked it, he still lost consecutively in the three rounds.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Prince Huo gradually became anxious.

The princess was terribly worried, for fear that Lu Shuyi would offend the prince, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, but both Huo Tianyou and Lu Shuyi looked calm and not in a hurry.

As the last word fell, Lu Shuyi said lightly: "The prince has accepted, two and a half."

In the fourth round, she won another two and a half...

Lord Huo stared fixedly at the chess game, the muscles on his face trembled.

The princess hurriedly said: "It's getting late, why don't you have dinner first?"

"Not hungry, just turn on the lamp."

Lord Huo looked at the princess impatiently: "Hold the lamp, I want to play another game."

This symptom is already obsessed, and it is clear that he will not let go if he does not win.

The concubine was very helpless, she had already instructed Lu Shuyi, but Lu Shuyi just refused to release the water, even if she released a little water, the prince would win.

Hey, this girl...

The concubine sighed silently in her heart, but she had to order someone to light the lamp, "Playing chess in the dark is not good for your eyes, why don't you ask Miss Lu to come over to play chess tomorrow? Forget about it today, what do you think?" ?” As he spoke, he was about to reach out to collect the chess pieces.

Who knew Lord Huo grabbed her hand and said firmly: "No, let's play now, and play the last round."

The princess supported her forehead, but she had no choice but to let them go.

The chess game started very quickly, this time Lord Huo played very slowly, every step he took would be cautious, looking forward and backward.

It was not easy for Lu Shuyi to settle down, she always hesitated for a long time before she settled down.

Both of them frowned, and they spoke very seriously. Huo Tianyou and Wang Hao didn't even dare to breathe a little bit, but just watched silently.

After touching for about an hour, Lu Shuyi's brows became deeper and deeper, she shook her head slightly and sighed.

It was obvious that the situation had turned into a ruin for her, and it was irreversible.No matter where the child falls, it is a typo.

Lord Huo's face was radiant, his posture was sitting upright, and the last kick fell with a crisp sound.

Lu Shuyi took a deep breath, smiled generously and said: "This time you won..." While losing the chess piece, she said: "Three and a half pieces."

Lord Huo laughed, the dull expression before was gone, and the smile was extraordinarily joyful.

When the concubine heard Lord Huo's laughter, her heart fell firmly in her stomach, and she kept worrying just now, always afraid that Lu Shuyi would offend Lord Huo.

Huo Tianyou looked at the chess game and said with a smile: "Father's last three tricks won by surprise, it's really eye-opening..."

Taking advantage of the situation, I flattered him.

Lord Huo was really in a good mood, pointing to the sunspots on the chessboard, he said: "This is the place. In the first few rounds, I was always clueless and killed along the way, but the result was always a failure. This time I made a little adjustment, and the situation suddenly became clearer. He sighed: "Sure enough, the game of chess is ever-changing. If you make a careless move, you will lose everything."

Her eyes slowly fell on Lu Shuyi. Under the glazed lamp, the girl did not show any timidity or unnaturalness. She smiled openly and generously. She was not proud when she won, and she would not be disappointed when she lost.

Such a state of mind does not match her age.

But it also let him see the girl's demeanor, the most important thing is that she knows he is a prince, playing chess with him will cause trouble at any time, but she still respects her opponent and refuses to let go of it at all, which is rare .

This also changed his view of the Lu family, but if it comes to marriage, he still won't agree.

"Okay, everyone is hungry, let's call the kitchen to prepare vegetables." Prince Huo waved his sleeves and said firmly: "It's too late today, Miss Lu should stay in the palace for the night." Facing the princess Said: "Chuchu, you arrange this matter."

The princess smiled and nodded, but she was not sure why the prince wanted to keep Lu Shuyi overnight.

Could it be that he wants to accept Lu Shuyi?
But she thought it was impossible.

Could it be that he wanted to test Huo Tianyou and Lu Shuyi?
She didn't dare to think about it any further, so she ordered someone to prepare the vegetables, and also ordered someone to prepare a room for Lu Shuyi, and also ordered someone to notify Mrs. Lu.

Lu Shuyi wanted to refuse, but seeing Lord Huo's unquestionable appearance, she had no choice but to accept, thanking her while secretly thinking about her intentions.

It's not good to be in a big family. No matter what you do, you have to speculate on other people's intentions. Even if you feel tired, there is nothing you can do.

She and the concubine had almost the same thoughts, and she also felt that the prince's keeping her here could not be because he agreed to her marriage with Huo Tianyou, after all, her family background and identity were placed in that place...

Therefore, there are more tests, or the intention of spying.

She quietly accompanied the lord and concubine to dinner, and it was already dark at that time, Lord Huo asked Huo Tianyou to accompany him to the study after dinner, while Lu Shuyi was taken away by the concubine.

Along the way, the princess hesitated to speak.

What the princess was worried about, she couldn't say it herself.

After all, Lu Shuyi is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she shouldn't suspect that an innocent girl will do something bad...

Lu Shuyi is not stupid, she can tell the clue by looking at the expression of the princess.

The princess was afraid that she and Huo Tianyou would take advantage of her opportunity to live in the princess, and the two of them would go down the melon field...

It's not like this kind of thing doesn't exist. There are men who have affection and women who love each other, and there are some things that go out of the way when they are emotional. However, she is very confident that this kind of thing will never happen to her.

One is because of her upbringing, and the other is because she believes in Huo Tianyou.

In his previous life, Huo Tianyou had been with her for so long as Mr. Bai. If he wanted, she would have been his already.

Perhaps it was because he was in a difficult situation at that time. He knew that he could not give her a future, so he kept restraining himself...

Lu Shuyi's cheeks blushed just thinking about it, but her heart was warm and sweet.

The princess said softly: "If you need anything at night, just call Aju."

Aju is a personal maid beside the princess, she left Aju to take care of Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi nodded with a smile, and sent the princess out.

The concubine was still hesitant to speak, but in the end she didn't express her worries, she just smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be used to sleeping in a different place, so I asked the kitchen to make soothing soup for you, and I'll bring it over later."

Lu Shuyi quickly smiled and thanked her.

The princess was really nice to her, she didn't look down on her because of her status, and she didn't say anything particularly serious. It would be a great thing if she could really become her mother-in-law one day.

After the concubine left, Lu Shuyi sat on the couch, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, her eyes fixed on the glazed lamp in front of her, seeming to be smiling at the lamp, and also seeming to be smirking.

Mo Ju and Dongmei had been following for a whole day, their nerves were tense all the time, and neither of them had a chance to talk to Lu Shuyi. Now that the princess and prince were gone, they relaxed a little, but there was another Aju... …

Aju belongs to the princess, and the two of them dare not neglect, let alone get too close to Lu Shuyi, and dare not say some things, for fear that Aju will tell the princess after hearing it.

A-Ju has a dignified appearance, she pours tea when she needs to pour tea, picks the wick when she needs to pick the wick, she does everything thoughtfully.

And she was also very discerning. When the work was done, she silently retreated to the door without saying a word.

Mo Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and then led Dongmei over.

Lu Shuyi was still thinking about something.

What happened today was like a dream. She never thought that she would play chess with Lord Huo again, and even won so many games in a row.Thinking about Lord Huo's expression when he lost the chess game, she found it extremely funny, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Look at what made you happy, we were all scared to death." Dongmei touched her beating heart, and when she thought of Lord Huo's frozen face, she trembled all over.

Their young lady is also too courageous, she has won so many rounds, and she is not afraid of Prince Huo's anger.

Mo Ju felt scared after thinking about it, and sat down next to Lu Shuyi and said: "It's really scary in the daytime, and you are really too, how can you win so many rounds in a row? Don't you see that it won't happen until later?" , Is the concubine's face all white? And Lord Huo, his face was always dark, and you didn't smile until you won... Oh, hey, I'm really scared to death, I'm afraid he will get angry. "

Lu Shuyi said lightly: "Isn't this good? Besides, this game of chess should have both winners and losers. If you only win but not lose, do you think it's normal? Besides, if I lose to him at the beginning, He might lose interest immediately and stop playing with me, and he will look down on me from now on. Or if he has another game with me, should I win or lose? If he wins, he will be serious. If you lose, then I will be worthless in his eyes..."
