Marrying on your behalf: the abandoned concubine of the cold-faced prince

Chapter 29

"My lord." A low voice announced from outside the door.
"Come in." Shangguan Xi put the crushed chrysanthemum on the ground.
Pushing the door open was a woman. The woman only combed a ponytail, but half of her face was blocked by her hair. She was wearing a black night gown: "Lei, see the prince." The woman half-kneeled and saluted Shangguan Xi.

"What did you find?" Shangguan Xi gestured to Lei Ping, and gave Lei another bowl of tea.
Shangguan Xi handed the tea to Lei, and Lei glanced at Shangguan Xi with some emotion: "Shangguan Che is indeed related to Mo Li. About eight years ago, Shangguan Che went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, and the object of marriage proposal was the Prime Minister's Mansion." Mo Li, the eldest daughter of a concubine."

"Oh? So this Mo Li is not a maid at all, but the eldest daughter of that old man." Shangguan Xi laughed suddenly: "This is interesting."

Lei took a sip of water and looked at the ruined chrysanthemums on the ground next to him, and frowned: "My lord, are you unhappy today?" Lei looked at Shangguan Xi.
Shangguanxi looked at Lei: "How many years have you been with me, Lei?"

"It has been three months and ten years since I was rescued by the prince in Howling Wolf." Lei looked at Shangguan Xi, who sighed: "I thought it was hidden for so many years. Today I met a Man, I suddenly have a feeling of being seen through by her." Lei looked at Shangguanxi for the first time to see the blankness in his eyes.
"What happened to Shangguan Che?" Shangguan Xi asked
"After Shangguan Che came back from fighting on the border for five years, that is, when he was promoted to prince by the emperor, he went to the prime minister's mansion and divorced the marriage. The reason was that Mo Li was the daughter of a concubine, not worthy of a royal prince, and he married General Qin's only daughter, Xinping."

"Is there any movement after he returned to the mansion just now?"

"No, I haven't been out since I returned home.
Shangguan Xi sneered: "Even if he made a move, how could such a thoughtful person let you see it?"

Shangguanxi couldn't help touching his chin and said: "This is interesting, it seems that this woman is not a waste." He smiled meaningfully, then frowned suddenly, looked at the chrysanthemum he crushed and sighed: " It's a pity, this potted flower took me a lot of effort." Lei looked at the expressive Shangguan Xi, and asked tentatively, "My lord, what are you thinking?"

Shangguanxi walked to the unfinished Go game: "Lei, I played this game with the emperor on New Year's Eve." Shangguanxi picked up a black stone and put it in the white flag camp: "Actually, I could have defeated him that day. of."

Shangguanxi messed up the chess game, grabbed the black and white pieces into his hands, and threw the pieces onto the board one by one: "The more chaotic the game, the more interesting it is." The pieces fell out of Shangguanxi's hands with a clatter.

Lei walked up to Shangguan Xi, picked up a black pawn, and said affectionately, "Xi, I am willing to be a pawn in your hand."

Shangguan Xi hugged Lei, his eyes were full of sadness: "Silly girl, do you know what kind of chess I am playing? It is a game of life and death."

Mo Li thought she would die in this meditation hall, Wang Po rudely helped Mo Li up and poured Mo Li a bowl of soup: "From tomorrow onwards, you will work in the small kitchen."

In a daze, Mo Li was sent to a small wing room next to the small kitchen. Although it was still rudimentary, at least it had a bed and bedding. If you have three roots, you need to rest.
