Yijia Yishi

Chapter 364 Playing Chess
Lu Shuyi smiled lightly.

She is not stupid, and it can be seen that Lord Huo is just underestimating her.

The concubine was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and said, "Didn't the lord say he wanted to play chess? Why don't you let Miss Lu accompany you in the next game?"

Lord Huo didn't speak, but just raised his hand and pointed to a chessboard made of red sandalwood inlaid with jade.

The concubine immediately ordered her servant: "Go and make a pot of Longjing tea."

After Lord Huo sat down, Lu Shuyi also sat down opposite Lord Huo gracefully.

Although she didn't dare to look at the man in front of her, she could clearly feel the demeanor of Lord Huo that was different from the men of their Lu family. This kind of demeanor is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. It is the kind of domineering that has been accumulated in the battlefield. Very powerful aura.

It's no wonder that Zhili people trust Lord Huo so much.

It's a pity that he treats his children...

Lu Shuyi didn't want to think about it anymore, she just concentrated on playing chess.She didn't intend to lose this game, if she lost, she would only be looked down upon by Lord Huo even more in the future.

Even if he doesn't agree with her being with Huo Tianyou, she can't lose her ambition.

The concubine asked someone to move a brocade tree, and she sat quietly beside Lu Shuyi to watch the battle.

The maid carefully brought in three cups of hot tea, put them down lightly, and then retreated quietly, without even a sound of footsteps, which shows that Lord Huo is not a good master to serve on weekdays.

Lord Huo sat upright, holding sunspots in one hand, and gently sipping from a teacup in the other. He sipped carelessly, which showed that he was absolutely sure of winning this game, and he didn't put Lu Shuyi in his eyes.

Lu Shuyi focused her eyes and took every step very seriously.

The princess watched the situation with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

Lord Huo had a relaxed expression at the beginning, drinking hot tea one sip at a time, he was very leisurely, but slowly, his expression became less relaxed, the time he spent thinking became longer and longer, and his brows became more and more frowning. tight.

At the beginning, he ate Lu Shuyi several times, but now he is almost surrounded by Lu Shuyi...

He frowned, feeling that he had underestimated the girl in front of him, but it seemed that he had realized it too late. When he was struggling to get a hand down, the princess pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "You landed here, this game is terrible." I'm about to lose..."

Lord Huo frowned, seeing Lu Shuyi killed a large part of himself, the defeat was already settled.

"My lord, I've accepted it." Lu Shuyi bowed her eyebrows lightly, she thought that Lord Huo's face must be very ugly at this moment.

That's right, a person who has never been defeated on the battlefield, suddenly lost in the hands of a yellow-haired girl, this feeling...

Thinking about it, he must have been vomiting blood with anger.

If you vomit blood, just vomit blood. Such a person should also be made to vomit.

Lord Huo's face was ashen, full of anger, angry that he shouldn't underestimate the enemy, and actually lost to a little girl...

A big man actually lost to a little girl in the film, and it still makes people laugh out loud.

However, he also found it very strange that Lu Shuyi was obviously still a little girl, but her chess moves were very sophisticated, her moves were quick, accurate and ruthless, not at all like the chess moves that a little girl should play...

He re-examined Lu Shuyi again, and felt that this little girl was indeed a bit unusual, not only for her outstanding looks, but also for her quick mind, but it was a pity...

If she could be born in a family of officials, she would indeed be worthy of his son.

In order to show his demeanor, he laughed and said openly: "Well, this chess skill is really good." Then he asked Lu Shuyi: "Who did you learn this chess from? Chess skills are very sophisticated."

The concubine's heart finally loosened, for fear that Prince Huo would be angry because Lu Shuyi won...

Lu Shuyi replied with a smile: "My lord, my daughter's father likes to play chess, and he has learned chess from him for a few days since he was a child."

Can he be so good after learning chess from his father for a few days since he was a child?This is obviously not true.

Of course, she didn't say much, Lord Huo didn't want to ask more, just nodded and said: "You played well, it's rare that this king is interested, how about we play another game?"

In fact, he just didn't want to admit defeat like this. It would be too shameful to lose to a little girl, and he had to get his face back no matter what.

The concubine knew what Lord Huo was thinking, she secretly pushed Lu Shuyi lightly, in order to make Lu Shuyi lose the game.

Lu Shuyi understood, but she didn't follow suit. In the second round, she went all out and killed Lord Huo without leaving a single piece.

Lord Huo's face turned green at that time, and the princess also secretly said that it was terrible. She didn't know if Lu Shuyi didn't understand her meaning, or if she understood it and went her own way...

She felt that Lu Shuyi had angered the prince this time.

However, Lu Shuyi's face was still calm, she only smiled and looked at the endgame and said: "My lord, you have lost three more..."

The corners of Lord Huo's mouth twitched, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word from his mouth with a dark face: "One more game..."

The concubine silently wiped the sweat from her temples, and then quietly pushed Lu Shuyi's arm, and Lu Shuyi smiled at her.

The princess couldn't figure out the meaning of this smile, did she understand her intentions or didn't understand?

She watched helplessly, but in the end Lu Shuyi won, and she won very easily.

Lord Huo was going crazy looking at the chessboard.

He has never played chess like this before. This is the first time that he lost three games in a row, and lost all the face.

But he couldn't get angry in person.

If he loses the game, he will get angry, and it is said that he can't be a human being. The only thing he thinks of when he plays first is to beat Lu Shuyi.

The concubine was afraid of making a fuss, so she hurriedly squeezed out a smile to smooth things over and said: "It's almost noon, the prince might as well take a rest, the concubine will send someone to set up a meal first..." She hurriedly winked at Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi was very knowledgeable this time, and persuaded: "It's important for the prince to eat, so the little girl will retire first."

Lord Huo immediately waved his sleeves, and his tone was beyond doubt: "No, you and the princess will have dinner at my king's place at noon today. Let's continue eating when we run out."

The concubine frowned, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only say: "The concubine was ordered to serve food." She winked at Lu Shuyi and asked, "Miss Lu, do you want to change clothes?"

Lu Shuyi nodded, and the two left the study.

The princess had a heavy expression on her face. The two walked around the verandah until they walked into an open garden. The princess stood still and ordered the people behind her not to follow. She looked at Lu Shuyi and said gently: "You child , I pushed you twice just now, didn't you feel it?"

Lu Shuyi smiled, nodded and said, "I feel it."

The princess frowned: "Then do you know what I mean?"

"I know." Lu Shuyi replied honestly, without hiding anything: "I know you want my subordinates to show mercy, not to win the prince..."

The concubine's brows became tighter, and her tone became more serious: "Since you know my intentions, why don't you..." She shook her head and sighed for a while, "My child, you can't act rashly in everything, you don't understand the prince's temper. , he is just a child sometimes, if you beat him and he argues with you about this matter, what can you do?"

Lu Shuyi bowed her head silently, she also had her own thoughts.

If she really intends to lose to Lord Huo this time, if Lord Huo sees it, will he be happy?
Instead of that, it's better to win by yourself, at least respect your opponent, and let Lord Huo know that she is not such a weak girl.

The concubine felt that she might be speaking too harshly, so she sighed almost inaudibly, took Lu Shuyi's hand, and said softly: "My good boy, it's not that I won't let you win, it's just that sometimes people really can't be brave. Of course, I can also see It turns out that you are a child with your own opinions in your heart, maybe you have your own opinions, and I won't influence them, I just want to remind you that everything must be measured, understand?"

Lu Shuyi was very moved. As a princess, being able to say such words to her showed that she was not treated as an outsider.

She nodded seriously, and said: "I just thought, if I deliberately let the prince win, wouldn't he be even angrier if he saw it? After all, this kind of behavior is very disrespectful to the other party, are you right?" She said slowly Slowly said: "Furthermore, you can also see that the prince has looked down on me from the very beginning, and I also have my own integrity..."

When the princess heard this sentence, she also felt sore in her heart. She nodded and stroked her hand and said, "My good boy, I know you have been wronged, but there is no way..."

"No, I don't feel wronged, I'm just afraid that you will be in trouble." Lu Shuyi smiled happily, but she couldn't see the slightest pressure. She held Wang Hao's hand and said, "Thank you for helping me."

The concubine smiled: "Let's save the words of thanks for later. If you and You'er can really achieve a positive result, I only hope that you can take good care of You'er."

This is what she said in her heart, as long as her son can live well, she will feel good.

Lu Shuyi's face turned red all of a sudden, she pursed her lips and didn't know what to say, so she whispered after a long time: "It's been a while since we came out, why don't I help you go back?"

The princess smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go back."

The two turned their heads and were about to go back the same way, but suddenly a woman's delicate voice came from behind: "My daughter-in-law greets my mother and concubine."

Lu Shuyi helped the princess to turn around, and there was a beautiful woman who looked like a dough ball standing on the bluestone path.

The beauty has a slender figure and is wearing a rose-red silk tapestry embroidered with pomegranate flowers. Her lower body is a crab-shell blue threaded horse-face skirt. A pair of blue embroidered shoes with pearl stones are slightly exposed. Yes, mysterious and wonderful.Look at that delicate little face again, the skin is as white as jade, almost no blemishes can be seen, the red phoenix eyes, the small and straight nose bridge like a jade onion, the vermilion lips that seem to be open and close, as charming as rose petals with dew.

Lu Shuyi knew who she was without guessing, it must be He Ruyi, Huo Tiankang's new wife.

With such a beautiful appearance, it is no wonder that the He family always praises her.

The princess waved her hand and said with a light smile, "There's no need to be too polite."

And Lu Shuyi bowed her knees obediently to He Ruyi, and called out: "Concubine Shi Zi."

He Ruyi was very considerate, stepped forward and grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Miss Lu, don't be too polite, get up quickly." Looking at her face carefully, he praised her again and again: "Well, she is indeed a rare beauty, with icy muscles and bones, no wonder..." She glanced at the princess, swallowed the rest of the words, just smiled and said: "I heard that you often come here It's a pity that we haven't met each other once, but this time we are very destined."

Lu Shuyi smiled gently, but did not speak.

The concubine changed the subject and asked He Ruyi, "Where is your son?"

He Ruyi smiled coquettishly, and said with a bit of shyness, "Your Majesty got up early in the morning and went to the study to practice calligraphy."

"He's just used it before the wedding..." Wang Hao said with a smile, "Good work."

He Ruyi has a charming face, it seems that she is very satisfied with Huo Tiankang.

In terms of appearance, Huo Tiankang is not inferior to Huo Tianyou, and he is superior to most of the young masters. In terms of talent, he is also full of poems and books, has read the art of war, and is capable of kung fu. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with such a husband. satisfied place.

But He Ruyi is also a person with calculations in her heart. She married into the Huo family. Although she is the eldest concubine now, the Huo family has two sons after all.

Moreover, these days after she got married, she also used various means to find out some news in private, and knew that the Huo family brothers were secretly fighting to survive.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, if Huo Tiankang loses the battle, wouldn't her position as the concubine be given up to someone else?

She looked at Lu Shuyi calmly. The girl in front of her was even more outstanding than her. She was already considered extremely beautiful, but Lu Shuyi was even more stunning than her. She is luxurious, but the aura emanating from this girl's body is very powerful...

She, who is superior in everything, hesitated for the first time in front of such a girl, and even doubted her own charm...

Lu Shuyi keenly caught He Ruyi's gaze, but she didn't make any reaction, she just nodded silently.

The concubine smiled and said: "Your father has served dishes, I'll serve your father first." Then she looked around and told the servants around He Ruyi: "Serve the concubine well."

Everyone promises.

The concubine smiled at He Ruyi, turned around and left with Lu Shuyi.

There was a warm wind blowing across the face, blowing the broken hair on the sideburns, and the corners of the clothes fluttering. Lu Shuyi's light and butterfly-like figure was extraordinarily beautiful.

He Ruyi pinched her fingers and looked at it. After a long time, she said in a deep voice to her close nurse, Nanny Qu: "Send someone to carefully watch that girl surnamed Lu..."

Lu Shuyi didn't know all this, but she could vaguely feel the darkness behind He Ruyi's smile.

Maybe she was tricked by the He family in her previous life. She instinctively disliked the He family. As long as it was the He family, her vigilance would immediately rise.

Especially for a beauty like He Ruyi who can't see through the face behind her, she feels that she is in danger.

Similarly, the princess also felt that He Ruyi was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Although this girl has only been married for a few days, she found that He Ruyi has been secretly buying people's hearts, and began to win over her own people.
