Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 72 Become a chess player

Ye looked at Jun'er's leaving figure with a shocked face, unable to recover for a long time.

Even the younger one didn't listen to him, so how could he seize the power of running the house from the old lady?
Just as Lan Xiang and Jun'er took a few steps out of the house, they heard the sound of Ye throwing something from behind.

Lan Xiang looked back worriedly and asked Jun'er: "Brother Jun'er, is Mrs. Ye okay?"

"Don't worry about her." Jun'er said coldly.

Lan Xiang felt sad. Are all the young and old in this family so cruel?
No wonder Duke An Guo's mansion didn't want to see them, and even the mistress wouldn't be released. If she were Su Junxi, she would have run away long ago and never come back. They are a bunch of ruthless people who eat people without spitting out their bones!

This matter soon reached the ears of Su Junxi who was in Duke Anguo's mansion.

Su Junxi is playing chess with An Guogong in the yard at the moment.

Seeing Su Junxi's expressionless face after hearing the news, and not even intending to speak for Marquis Jing'an, An Guogong asked in confusion: "Xi'er, do you want to go back and take a look?"

After all, there was a lot of noise in the Hou Mansion, and as the mistress, she had a deep love for Tang Zhili, so she should have left them and gone back long ago.

But surprisingly, she didn't react too much to this matter, which made An Guogong confused.

Su Junxi's mind was only on the chessboard. She tilted her head and smiled at Duke An, and said, "If father is still absent-minded, he will lose to Xi'er."

An Guogong looked down at the chessboard and saw that his path had been blocked by the white chess piece. He was so anxious that he slapped his thighs with both hands and said, "I'm old, I can't even play chess with you now."

Mrs. Anguo on the side said with a smile: "Xi'er's chess skills have made great progress, and Mr. Lu is indispensable for this!"

An Guogong frowned when he mentioned Mr. Lu, and said displeasedly: "This old man, you just made an appointment with me to have a drink with me last time, and you keep breaking the appointment. Don't mention him in front of me!"

After hearing this, Su Junxi explained for her teacher: "The Lu Mansion was being renovated a few days ago, and the teacher couldn't get away. Plus, he had to teach students, let alone come to the house to reminisce with his father."

When An Guogong knew that Mr. Lu was teaching Jun'er, several black lines appeared on his forehead, and he complained to Su Junxi: "You are serious, what does that child have to do with you, why are you so interested in him!"

"My daughter is still the Marquis of Jing'an, so why are she ignoring him? Besides, the teacher doesn't just teach Jun'er." Su Junxi felt helpless.

"Huh? Could it be that this old man has taken in others? I really can't tell!" An Guogong said with a smile. It was hard for him to believe that anyone could stand Mr. Lu's bad temper.

Su Junxi nodded: "Yes. That child is older than Jun'er. His name is Lu Ping'an. The teacher is very fond of him!"

"That's right!" Duke An Guo dropped a black chess piece as he spoke, and showed a determined smile: "Even if you will be surrounded by your father, you underestimate your father's ability!"

Su Junxi looked down and saw that she had lost, and smiled awkwardly: "It seems that blind confidence does make people arrogant."

Then she stood up and said to Mrs. Anguo: "Mother, sister said that some new clothes have been sent to me, let's go and have a look!"

Mrs. Anguo immediately stood up and left with Su Junxi.

An Guogong stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "When Xi'er has grown up, he still knows how to leave a way out for his father."

"But if she does this, she will only put herself in danger." Su Buyue looked at the chessboard and fell into thought.

It looked like An Guogong had won this game of chess, but in fact, Su Junxi repeatedly let the situation slip, and An Guogong had the opportunity to decide the outcome with one move.

"I hope she can be a chess player, not a chess piece." An Guogong stood up and put down a black chess piece in his hand, landing on the chessboard and disrupting the formation.

"I'm tired as a father. Let's go and have a rest. Duke An Guo left with his hands behind his back."

Su Buyue stared at his back and said helplessly: "Didn't mother say that you are not allowed to drink?"

An Guogong raised a hand and waved: "Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know. If you don't tell your mother, how will she know that your father is secretly drinking?" Three days later

"I wonder if the princess already has someone she likes?" Concubine De seemed to ask casually, but in fact she couldn't hold it in any longer.

Today, the emperor held a grand banquet and invited many people. Of course, this group of people included people from the Western Regions who came to get married.

He Ning, whose name was suddenly mentioned, looked at Concubine De with no distracting thoughts in her eyes and said: "The marriage between the two countries is not a child's play, so before I get to know Prince Tianzhao, I will not make a hasty conclusion."

Although this sentence made the Queen feel a little dissatisfied, it appeased the impulsive concubines.

Then she said: "I know that the princes of Tianzhao and even the wealthy families have many wives and concubines, but if it is my He Ning's man, then he can only have me as his wife!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chang Juerou's heart couldn't help but tremble.

She knew in her heart how much the empress valued He Ning. Now that He Ning said these words again, didn't this destroy all her remaining hope?

I often feel that my soft heart is unwilling but helpless.

Li Kun also noticed Chang Juerou's reaction. He wanted to comfort her but couldn't, so he could only look at her silently.

And this move of his was caught by He Ning.

The imperial concubine, who was not too concerned about the matter, sneered when she saw it and said, "I'm afraid Tianzhao can't find a man who can fulfill the princess's wish."

Li Nanyu knew that the concubine wanted to embarrass others, so she echoed, "I don't agree with what the concubine said."

"Oh? Yu'er, tell me, who can do it?" The imperial concubine smiled with satisfaction.

Li Nanyu's eyes fell on Li Junyi. Li Junyi suddenly felt something bad. She smiled slightly and said: "Isn't the emperor's uncle not yet married? Compared with the emperor's brothers, Yu'er feels that the emperor's uncle should be more anxious."

After hearing this, the imperial concubine laughed wildly in her heart, but she looked very surprised on her face and said, "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten that the prince has not yet established a concubine."

He Ning's eyes also fell on Li Junyi, and everyone panicked, fearing that He Ning would really fall in love with Li Junyi.

Li Junyi's face was very ugly. If he had known this, he would not have come. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, he said: "The imperial concubine is too worried. The king naturally has someone he likes and is not interested in others."

But the imperial concubine persisted and asked: "I wonder which family's girl can make the prince miss you so much?"

After the emperor got the exact answer, the worries on his face were wiped away and he said: "The imperial concubine also has good intentions. If my dear brother wants to marry her into the palace, just tell me and I will grant you a marriage!"

As long as he doesn't compete with his son for a woman, he naturally doesn't care which family the woman is from.

Li Junyi was silent for a moment and then said: "It's not needed for the time being."

Su Junxi suddenly felt warm all over her body. She turned around and saw Li Junyi's eyes falling on her.

She frowned at him curiously, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.

This made Su Junxi tremble. Even though he had a sinful face, she could still understand the facts.

Seeing her avoiding his gaze in panic, the smile on Li Junyi's lips became stronger.

The Queen Mother kept staring at the two of them. Seeing that the relationship between the two did not seem so strange, she was also unconsciously happy. (End of chapter)
