Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 146

The old Jiangxia King was a powerful man in the past, and he was the number one minister in power in the Wei Dynasty, so the mansion was also built very grandly.

Vermilion walls, green tiles, and white jade are all over the floor.

The street in front of the mansion is wide and level, with lush and dense cypress trees planted on the left and right, neatly lined up like soldiers in line, standing majestically and solemnly on both sides of the long street.

There are two gates nailed with copper nails, and two stone lions stand at the gates, looking at the visitors with piercing eyes.

Jinxiu helped Zhao Xiwei get off the carriage, and the guards with weapons came forward and shouted: "The forbidden area of ​​the palace, don't come near it!"

Jin Xiu had never seen such a posture before, her calves were a little weak from fright: "Miss, we..."

"It's okay." Zhao Xiwei patted the back of her hand reassuringly, then took out a name card from his sleeve and handed it over.

The guard opened it and glanced at it, and then put on a smiling face: "So it's the lady of the prime minister's mansion, sorry for the disrespect, please wait a moment."

The sun was slanting to the west, and the afterglow was faint. Zhao Xiwei stood calmly outside the gate of the palace, waiting for the upcoming battle.

Zhao Xiwei was led by the porter into the inner house of the palace, and when he raised his head, he froze in place.

A clear spring pool was dug in front of the court, and dozens of exquisite and lovely koi swim freely at the bottom of the water.

Another clump of green new bamboos was planted, with tall and straight branches and slender bamboo leaves. Whenever there is a breeze passing through the hall, the green bamboos are blown up and down one after another, and the leaves make rustling sounds, making people feel as leisurely as they are in the forest and pines.

Directly opposite the courtyard is a very simple flower hall.

At this time, the doors and windows on all sides of the flower hall were open, and there were two men sitting in front of the desk, holding black and white chess pieces, and were playing chess.

The one on the left is dressed in red, with slender eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, a pointed chin, and a cinnabar mole on her forehead. She is a bright and heroic beauty.

How to describe it?

Just looking at his facial features, it is a kind of bright and charming that only women can have.

Especially when she smiled, her lips were red and her teeth were white, shining brightly. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the number one beauty in the capital.

But looking at his overall demeanor, it is a kind of heroic appearance that only a man can have.

No, it is not enough to say that he is an ordinary man. This is the extraordinary power of a general who has been fighting all the year round.

Even though Li Xuanye, who was full of coercion, sat across from him, it didn't affect him in the slightest, on the contrary, it made him look more unrestrained and open-minded.

Li Xuanye...

Zhao Xi read the name in a daze, and suddenly came to his senses——

Opposite the man in red, the man in the black-and-gold-patterned gown is not Li Xuanye!
How could I meet him here!

Zhao Xiwei suddenly wanted to dig a hole to hide himself...

At this time, Li Xuanye also turned his head and looked over.

With a white chess piece held between his two slender fingers, he said a word in a calm tone: "Qiao."

Zhao Xiwei was shocked, and finally knew why he ordered him to come to the palace.

It turned out that she had been waiting here for a long time!

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like a cold long sword resting on her neck.

Ask her to return to her place immediately, and bow her knees to salute: "My daughter has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The man in red looked over in surprise and asked, "Who are you?"

Hearing his voice, Zhao Xiwei was taken aback again.

The voice was soft and bright, not like a man...

Like a woman.

In order to verify her guess, she glanced at his neck intentionally or unintentionally.

There is an Adam's apple.

strangeness……

Why does a man have such a gentle voice.

While thinking about it, she replied respectfully: "The little girl, Zhao Xiwei, is the third lady of the Zhao family, and she came to pay respects to the concubine."

"Oh?" Hearing her name, the man in red stared at her for a moment, and then he smiled: "It's just a coincidence, my mother and concubine have gone to the palace because of the Queen Mother's summons. I guess I won't be back until evening."

Calling the princess mother concubine...

This is Prince Jiangxia's son! ?

No matter how good Zhao Xiwei's psychological quality is, she would inevitably be a little embarrassed. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again: "I have seen His Royal Highness."

"Since the concubine is not here, my daughter will come to visit another day..." She was about to leave when Li Xuanye said leisurely: "What's the hurry, you're here, why don't you have a cup of tea before leaving."

"..." Zhao Xiwei really wanted to disappear in place.

The eldest son, Li Fengyi, relieved her very considerately: "Ms. Zhao, don't be nervous. I often hear your mother and concubine mentioning you. I always wanted to meet you, but I never had the chance."

When he said that, Zhao Xiwei felt even more embarrassed.

A maid brought a soft brocade mat and brought a cup of hot tea. Zhao Xi thanked him in a low voice, and had no choice but to kneel and sit down beside him.

Li Xuanye and Li Fengyi continued to play chess.

The room was silent, only the sound of chess pieces falling on the board.

Zhao Xi has already seen the clues in the half game of chess.

This is a meeting of masters.

Li Xuanye is deep in thought and stable in mood. He is good at looking at the overall situation. He moves cleanly and neatly. He never hesitates when making moves. people hope.

Li Fengyi has a delicate mind, a broad mind and does not stick to any moves. When she makes a move, she often likes to lay down long lines to lure the opponent into the game.

His style is erratic, but his moves are deadly. As long as the opponent has the slightest negligence, he will lose the whole game.

However, every time Li Xuanye intentionally or unintentionally landed a blow on the edge of the trap, and when the opponent came rolling in, he turned the situation around in an instant like a thousand catties.

This kind of move that is decisive to win thousands of miles away, if it were an ordinary person, he would have been exhausted and would have raised his hand in surrender.

But Li Fengyi is not an ordinary person, not only did he not feel discouraged at all, but instead aroused a strong desire to win.

So he devoted himself even more fully to the chess game.

However, Li Xuanye always exposed a flaw just right, and when Li Fengyi took advantage of the victory to pursue him, he found that he was always a little bit short.

Zhao Xiwei soon understood that Li Xuanye was actually teasing Li Fengyi...

Judging from the level, it is obvious that Li Xuanye has a better move.

Just relying on his skillful means, it is enough to hang the opponent and make people want to die. It is not easy to win.

only……

Now that the disaster in Jizhou is imminent, if His Royal Highness is not going to allocate disaster relief food, how can he sit here and play with the prince?
Zhao Xiwei was slandering, when Li Xuanye's voice sounded faintly: "Fengyi, this is the last game, if you lose, you have to honor your promise."

Li Fengyi frowned, poured all her energy into the chess game, and said casually: "Isn't it just to promise you two things, the first one is disaster relief, I have already agreed. But what about the second one?"
