The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 23 I'm your mother!

King Xuan stood there coldly, staring at Xue Qingyin for a moment.

He said, "Okay."

The palace servant quickly brought the chessboard and made hot tea for them.

Xue Qingyin doesn't know how to play Go, but she knows how to play chess.

Fortunately, there is also chess in this era, not only that, but also backgammon and six-bo chess.

Then Xue Qingyin began to show her bad chess skills.

She is okay at playing cards.

She is really bad at playing chess.

After a while, King Xuan felt her restlessness.

His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

In the first game, Xue Qingyin lost very quickly.

But she is not afraid of losing, so she seems to have a good temper.

When she lowered her eyes and stared at the chessboard, her eyebrows and eyes were shining.

King Xuan then looked at her dress today...

Xue Qingyin was dressed plainly today.

The large smoky purple sleeves and the alum-colored skirt were embellished with a little spring color, which had a kind of smart and affectionate taste.

Every time she took a chess piece, her wide sleeves would slide back, revealing a section of her snow-white arms.

When she couldn't think of the next move.

She would unconsciously press her index finger against the chess piece and gently scrape the red paint on it.

Some of the paint was not very firm, so some debris stuck to her fingertips, like nail polish.

This red and white contrast was indescribably beautiful.

The second game began in a hurry.

Xue Qingyin wrinkled her nose, grabbed the chess piece with her right hand, and couldn't help touching the teacup with her left hand.

However, the hot tea had just been poured, and the wall of the cup was so hot that she hissed.

King Xuan's eyelids jumped, and he instinctively reached out and pressed her wrist.

It was smooth to the touch.

King Xuan also curled his fingers unnaturally as if he was burned.

But he still held Xue Qingyin firmly.

"Don't touch it." He paused, and then added lightly: "Hold the rim of the cup."

Xue Qingyin replied dryly: "Oh."

She just... when she couldn't think of anything, she wanted to touch it.

The palace maid next to her was very considerate and said hurriedly: "I'll go get a piece of ice."

Xue Qingyin: "No need."

She wasn't that squeamish.

It was just a burn, not a burn.

The palace maid didn't intend to listen to her, but glanced at King Xuan's face, and turned around to get ice.

Okay.

Xue Qingyin couldn't refuse, so she took the opportunity to say: "Let's play something else, leaf cards are fun!"

She is still better at playing cards!

King Xuan looked at her.

She was also staring at him with her eyes, dark and shining.

She didn't feel shy or embarrassed at all.

King Xuan pulled his hand back and looked away: "Go get leaf cards."

"Yes." The palace maid responded immediately.

After a while, the leaf cards were brought.

Along with them came the ice cubes in the box.

Xue Qingyin grabbed a piece of ice in her palm: "Hiss!"

This time it was frozen.

She quickly threw it back.

The cold eyebrows of King Xuan softened a little.

The palace maids beside her couldn't help but chuckled.

This Miss Xue is really cute.

Xue Qingyin wiped her hands on the hem of her skirt: "It's better not to freeze it, or I'll get sick. The burned places will be red by tomorrow."

As she said that, she turned around to get the leaf cards.

Hiss!

She shouted this in her heart.

Because the leaf cards were actually made of gold!

They were placed together in a golden manner.

This is the beauty of wealth!

Xue Qingyin grabbed a card.

It felt so comfortable to touch.

If the Xue family makes a lot of money tomorrow, they will also make a deck of cards like this to play with!

It will definitely be fun to touch it every day!

"Your Highness." Someone called out from outside the door.

King Xuan said without even raising his head: "Come in."

The person outside the door came in and was shocked to see Xue Qingyin: "Miss Xue?"

Xue Qingyin looked back.

This man with a big beard... is it?

King Xuan seemed to see her confusion and said lightly: "Deputy General Fang Chengzhong."

Xue Qingyin thought that this name was really strange.

The deputy general smiled at her and took a half step back, as if he was embarrassed.

But when he turned to face King Xuan, he changed his face to a serious one and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it's still about the Anxi Army..."

King Xuan stood up and walked to the inner room behind the screen.

The deputy general followed closely behind him.

Xue Qingyin knew that this was not something she should listen to, so she stood up consciously and prepared to go out for a walk.

"Is Miss Xue here?" The voice of the palace maid suddenly sounded.

Just in time!

Xue Qingyin hurriedly got up and walked to the door: "I'm here."

"Princess Jinque invites you to the front." The palace maid smiled.

Xue Qingyin looked at her.

She was the maid who had invited her in at the gate of the princess's mansion.

Now she was asked to go to the front again?

Is there something interesting in the front?

The maid urged: "Miss Xue, please come with me quickly, the princess is waiting."

Xue Qingyin turned around and said, regardless of whether King Xuan could hear her or not, she said politely: "Your Highness, I will go to the front first and come back later."

The maid paused: "Your Highness? Which prince is in there?"

"Didn't the maid see it just now? Your Highness King Xuan."

The maid took a breath.

Xue Qingyin said: "Let's go."

The maid paused and smiled again: "Well, let's go."

She led the way and walked in front, walking hurriedly, as if there was something urgent ahead.

But it was in the garden of the princess's mansion.

Oh, it can't be considered a garden. This place is bare, except for grass, there is not even a tree.

The game of playing football is performed here.

The fourth princess sat in her seat and couldn't help looking at the back of the princess's mansion.

After a long time, Xue Qingyin didn't come out, so she must have... started.

The fourth princess was a little uneasy, not as happy as she imagined.

...

The princess's mansion is really too big.

Xue Qingyin followed the palace maid all the way through the pavilions and towers, and finally came to a door.

The palace maid said: "This is it."

No!

Xue Qingyin's eyelids jumped heavily, and she reacted immediately.

This door is not heavy, but there is no sound coming from behind the door, it is surprisingly quiet.

The princess's mansion is magnificent everywhere, but the pull ring of this door is rusty...

Xue Qingyin turned around and wanted to run.

The maid grabbed her collar with great strength. She opened the door with one hand, pushed her in heavily, and locked it.

Xue Qingyin fell down and sat up, feeling a little dizzy.

This body is really...too weak!

She slowly raised her hand.

But it's okay.

She pulled a handful of her hair down.

That's much better.

The maid outside the door gritted her teeth and touched her head.

She could even clearly feel that a bunch of hair was missing, exposing her scalp.

Damn it.

Damn it!

The maid glared at the door with hatred, turned around and left.

Thinking that His Highness Xuan Wang was there just now, she still had a little fear in her heart.

But so what?

Today, her chess piece was activated, and her fate was doomed.

What kind of temper does the princess have?

She can't tolerate betrayers.

The maid exhaled fiercely.

I just hope... I just hope that after she is executed, her family can really live far away as the noble said, and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Inside the door.

Xue Qingyin slowly stood up and patted the dust on her body.

She will never dislike the maid that He Songning put beside her again.

Eyeliner is eyeliner, at least she can fight for her now.

"Dim sum, dim sum. Hey, are you here to deliver dim sum?" A silly voice sounded behind her.

Xue Qingyin turned her head.

I saw a tall and fat man leaning against the door frame looking at her.

This man had a silly face and it was obvious that his brain was not normal.

But he was dressed very neatly.

His hair was neatly combed, he wore a jade crown on his head, and he wore a moon-white robe. He was wrapped with a jade-carved and beaded belt, and his belly was bulging.

Seeing that Xue Qingyin didn't speak.

He immediately went down the stairs.

His steps were so heavy that it seemed that the floor was shaking.

He licked his lips and said angrily: "Thirst, I'm thirsty, I want water!"

Xue Qingyin cursed in her heart, and had a very bad premonition in her heart.

And this man was still approaching step by step.

His huge body and stupid expression made him look a little scary.

Xue Qingyin held it in for a moment, and slowly uttered a few words: "I am your mother, ah no...I am your mother."
