The scumbag wiped out my entire family, I was reborn to marry the villain prince

Chapter 53 Call Me Junyu
"See Your Highness the Princess."

Seeing Ming Yuyan was speechless, Xu Lingxuan frowned slightly and walked forward, bowing to Princess Mingxi.

Princess Mingxi glanced at Xu Lingxuan and said, "Xu Lingxuan, you have already made an engagement with King Jing. Why are you coming out to join in the fun instead of staying at home?"

Xu Lingxuan smiled somewhat stiffly. She didn't want to be hostile to this princess who was doted on by His Majesty.

After all, Princess Mingxi's biological mother, Concubine Jiang, was the legitimate daughter of King Wuding, and King Wuding was the only king of a different surname in Tiansheng.
Yes, she is the legitimate daughter of King Wuding.

Xu Lingxuan suddenly realized something. Lu Qingyu's grandmother was the eldest sister of King Wuding, so Lu Qingyu and Princess Mingxi were also cousins? !
In this light, it is reasonable for Princess Mingxi to stand up for Lu Qingyu, but I have never heard that they have such a good relationship before.

Xu Lingxuan cleared her throat and said, "Your Highness, I just came here to buy jewelry today, and I happened to see Miss Lu and Miss Ming arguing."

"Have you finished buying jewelry?"

Xu Lingxuan was stunned, "I haven't bought it yet."

Princess Mingxi waved her hands impatiently, "Why don't you go buy it quickly? What are you doing here? What does the Ming family and the Zhenguogong Mansion have to do with you?"

These two consecutive questions left Xu Lingxuan speechless, but she could only swallow her anger.

"She is only here to cause trouble for Lu Qingyu, not to make an enemy."

Xu Lingxuan repeated it several times in her mind before she suppressed her resentment.

"Then I will take my leave first." Before leaving, Xu Lingxuan glanced at Lu Qingyu, who was indifferent and calm throughout, and felt an indescribable anger in her heart.

She hated people like Lu Qingyu the most, who pretended to care about nothing all day long and looked aloof and cold.

What on earth is Lu Qingyu so crazy about?

Xu Lingxuan's cold eyes swept over, but Lu Qingyu looked straight ahead and didn't even glance at Xu Lingxuan.

Xu Lingxuan threw her sleeves in anger and went straight to the VIP room of Yuyuan Tower.

Princess Mingxi glanced at the crowd watching the excitement again, raised her eyebrows, and shouted sternly, "What are you all doing here?"

The crowd of onlookers dispersed instantly, not even daring to glance over here.

There is no way. Princess Mingxi is notorious and is the most unreasonable.

Ming Yuyan was like a quail at this moment. She dared not say a word. She could only stand there straight, not even daring to raise her head.

"Ming Yuyan, I warn you. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense and confuse right and wrong again, I will personally report to my father and punish you for spreading rumors and misleading the public and slandering an official of the imperial court."

Princess Mingxi spoke in a stern tone and her eyes were cold and sharp, which frightened Ming Yuyan so much that she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"get out."

Ming Yuyan felt as if she had been pardoned, and she ran out of Yuyuan Tower in a flash.

After everyone left, Princess Mingxi smiled, "Cousin Qingyu, just ignore these two people and don't let them ruin your good mood."

Lu Qingyu also smiled. Princess Mingxi was really a person of temperament. She didn't speak in a pedantic manner, which was quite similar to her.

"Thank you, Princess, for helping me out."

"We are all family, why call me Your Highness? Just call me Junyu."

Lu Qingyu was slightly stunned. Members of the royal family rarely let others call them by their names. They would always address them by their ranking or title.

He Junyi is the name of Princess Mingxi.

But Lu Qingyu didn't act pretentiously, "Junyu, thank you." "Qingyu, are you here to buy something? If you don't have any plans, my mother would like to invite you to the palace for a meal."

Lu Qingyu was slightly stunned. Concubine Jiang invited her to dinner?
No wonder Princess Mingxi came here. It turned out it was not a coincidence. She really came here specifically to find her.

"My second aunt has a birthday party tomorrow, I'm here to buy her a gift."

Princess Mingxi's expression paused for a moment, and then she whispered, "My mother is looking for you for this matter. If you are not in a hurry, why don't you come with me to the palace first?"

Anyway, buying gifts for her second aunt was just a cover, so Lu Qingyu decided to go to the palace with Princess Mingxi first. After all, seeing her mysterious look, she might know some hidden secrets.

Sitting in the princess's carriage, the two of them sped along at lightning speed and soon arrived at Hua'an Palace where Concubine Jiang was.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Lu Qingyu was shocked by the magnificence of Hua'an Palace.

This was the most luxurious and magnificent palace she had ever seen in the imperial palace. The eaves were inlaid with pure gold carvings, and there were transparent jade emeralds that sparkled in the sun, which was simply dazzling.

Lu Qingyu can only describe it in eight words:

The carved beams and painted buildings are of exquisite craftsmanship.

Princess Mingxi glanced at the stunned Lu Qingyu, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Now in this palace, my mother is the most favored concubine by the emperor. This palace was also renovated and carved by craftsmen sent by my father."

Lu Qingyu turned around and did not see how happy Princess Mingxi was. Instead, her expression was somewhat complicated and numb.

Although it was a bit strange, Lu Qingyu did not ask any further questions. She and Princess Mingxi had only met twice.

After entering Hua'an Palace, I saw a graceful woman sitting on a couch, playing chess with a palace maid.

She held a crystal clear black dot between her slender fingers and tapped it gently on her palm with a serious look on her face.

Lu Qingyu and Princess Mingxi walked over quietly and stood by tacitly watching the game.

Concubine Jiang thought for a long time but did not make a move, because in the current chess game, one of her black pieces was in a desperate situation. If she could not think of a clever move, she would lose the game.

Lu Qingyu had a deep understanding of Go, so he gradually became immersed in the game.

From the analysis of the whole chess layout, we can see that the palace maid with white pieces plays aggressively, with bold moves, while Concubine Jiang with black pieces plays conservatively, and moves cautiously.

After careful calculations, Lu Qingyu saw a hidden trick in this almost fatal chess game.

Glancing at the solemn expression on Concubine Jiang's face, Lu Qingyu sighed softly in her heart. Judging from Concubine Jiang's expression, she probably hadn't expected this.

After a while, Concubine Jiang seemed to suddenly realize that there were two more people beside her.

She raised her head and her eyes fell on Lu Qingyu's face, "This must be Qingyu."

"Your Highness, it is you, my lady."

"I heard you are an excellent chess player?"

"Your Majesty, I am indeed a little knowledgeable."

"Then help me figure out what to do next."

Lu Qingyu was slightly stunned. Why was he asking for help outside the field?

Lu Qingyu glanced at Princess Mingxi, and she shrugged. It seemed that this situation had occurred many times.

Lu Qingyu had no choice but to pick up a black piece and said, "Since it is the order of the queen, I will dare to make a move."
