Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven What does this have to do with Xianhui?

(twelve princes) I originally thought that the happy and peaceful life with Nu Xi would not change, but I later found out that this was just my own wishful thinking. First, there was the Nine Princes. Nuxi often visits him in the Wanhe Palace, and sometimes we go together. At first I didn't think much about it, but seeing the gradually dependent expression of the Ninth Prince when he looked at Nu Xi, my heart began to sink inexplicably. However, I am not an idiot, so I have repeatedly warned myself never to be jealous of a patient. But that day after school, I saw the thirteenth prince coming to her and asked shyly: "My concubine mother said she wanted to invite you to have lunch at noon, I don't know..."

I hope she refuses. But I heard her say, "Okay." I looked at her with the same bright smile. It turned out that her smile was not blooming for me alone. It turns out she doesn't belong to me alone. I clutched my chest tightly, and my heart began to know what it means to feel a dull pain. What a feeling. (slave) When winter comes, I will bring the Ninth Prince to my plum tree as agreed. He caressed the trunk of the tree carefully, a gust of wind blew away the plum blossoms, and the Ninth Prince was under the plum tree, graceful and graceful. His health has really improved a lot. Although he is still weak, it is not as serious as before.

He looked back at me, his eyes were clear and bright. He stretched out his hand to me, "Nuxi, your eyes are so beautiful, can I touch them?" There was another gust of wind, and our clothes fluttered. I didn't answer, but approached him and slowly closed my eyes. He gently moved his fingers between my eyebrows and eyes. I heard the Ninth Prince sigh in a low voice, "Nu Xi, you have made the flowers overshadowed by you." Yongtai has been fifteen years old, and I am already eleven years old. When the lotus on the lake was in full bloom in June, a great event happened in Dayin.

The three-year war finally came to an end. The Khan of Huihe bowed his head to our country and pledged his eldest son Wulanghamu to Kyoto to show his loyalty. When the emperor heard the good news, he was extremely excited. He not only greeted King Quanyu in person at the Arc de Triomphe, but also summoned princes and concubines from all over the world to come to court. There are lanterns and festoons everywhere in the palace, which is not inferior to the extravagance and excitement of the Yuan Dynasty. The emperor felt relieved, and all the faces in the palace, from the empress and concubines to the servants in the palace, were filled with joyful expressions.

I think that the entire imperial palace, and even the entire Dayin revolve around such a person. So he told the ancestral temple, played "Kai Le", and held the "Wang Shida Present" celebration ceremony. In the evening, there was a grand banquet in the palace, but I excused myself from being ill. It's just that I don't want to see how good King Quan Yu is. I'm tired of him, and I always have an unknown fire when I see him. But I didn't want to stay in the house either, so I changed into a tulle evening dress and wanted to enjoy the cool breeze by the lake in Meixiayuan.

From the main hall in the distance, there was the faint sound of silk and bamboo music, chatting with each other, and it was very lively. At this time, Mei Xiayuan's tranquility was in sharp contrast, with a special charm. I was thinking about it unconsciously, and suddenly I tripped over something soft under my feet. I was caught off guard and fell on the man with an "ah". The man also made a low noise. I lay on top of that person, and immediately smelled a faint scent of wine. The man said: "I didn't expect you to be quite heavy." The voice was neither cold nor hot, and there was no emotion.

I raised my head and saw the man's face clearly by the moonlight, only to see that he was frowning slightly looking at me. I secretly groaned, that person was the King Quan Yu I didn't want to see the last time! What bad luck! I hurriedly got up from him, and patted the dress vigorously as if trying to drive away some bad luck. "Nu Xi doesn't know the prince is here, shouldn't you be in the hall..." I remembered that I had offended him before, and now I have to stutter to find something to talk about. He let out a breath, then lay down on the grass again, and said in a slow voice, "I'm too strong to drink. I haven't drunk alcohol for many years, and today I'm a little tipsy after just a few drinks...so I'm lazy and come here to blow the cool breeze to sober up."

Curious, I tilted my head and asked, "Has the prince not drunk for several years?" "Drinking is not suitable for marching and fighting." He closed his eyes and answered briefly. We had nothing to say after that, and I stood there awkwardly, terribly uncomfortable. After being silent for a while, he seemed to think of something, opened his eyes and said, "You really don't want to ask me about your father..." I interrupted him, "I think." I said perfunctorily at first, but then made an excuse and said, "But now I'm suffering from a headache due to the cold wind, so Ranuxi will retreat first..."

He left as if fleeing. I don't want to hear anything more about Daddy, especially from him. On the second day, the twelve princes came to see me. He took my hand and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?" Because I was sick yesterday, that's why the twelve princes asked this question. I replied, "It's much better." The Twelfth Prince breathed a sigh of relief, and then happily told me about the excitement of last night. "Nuxi, it's a pity that you didn't go yesterday. Many delicacies at the banquet are tributes from Huihe. They have exotic flavors, and you can't usually eat these."

In fact, because I said I was sick yesterday and didn't go, the emperor had already ordered someone to prepare a copy for Eunuch Zhu to send over. But I didn't expose the matter, I just smiled lightly. "Nuxi, you also missed a big event. I saw the concubine of the fourth brother Xinna at the dinner party. She looks so beautiful." I didn't think so, curled my lips and said, "What's so rare about being just a side concubine?" The Twelfth Prince shook his head mysteriously, "She is different. She is from Huihe." "Oh? So they met during the battle with Huihe?"

"It's not just a meeting? That woman is the beloved daughter of General Huihe, and she wanted to assassinate the fourth brother back then!" "Then Princess Quan Yu is very sad?" "Princess Quan Yu won't." The Twelfth Prince said with certainty. "Oh?" I was slightly surprised, "Why?" "Princess Quan Yu is very virtuous." I laughed, what does this have to do with Xianhui. One day when it was getting dark, Ping'er from the Wanhe Palace rushed over, "Miss, the Ninth Prince was caught in the wind this morning, and developed a high fever in the evening, and he was still talking nonsense... Your Majesty was so anxious that she cried... There is nothing I can do about it, so I came to bother Miss..." I originally wanted to go to bed, but after hearing this, I hurriedly put on my clothes and rushed to Wanhe Palace. Stepping over the threshold, I saw Yu Zhaorong sitting beside the Ninth Prince's couch in distress, calling for him. Kneeling below were the two imperial physicians who were on duty at the imperial hospital tonight. I came to the bed first, and sure enough, I saw the Ninth Prince's face was flushed, his head was shaking slightly from side to side, and he was speaking indistinctly, looking very seriously ill. I asked the imperial physician: "Is the Ninth Prince okay?" The two imperial physicians looked at each other in embarrassment, and their words were very vague: "The Ninth Prince is born with a weak foundation, and this time the illness has come back aggressively, but the Ninth Prince's auspicious appearance will definitely save the day..." Sure enough, just like what the Twelve Princes said, this group of hypocritical imperial physicians! "I'm asking if you have prescribed any medicine?" I said angrily. "The ministers have already prescribed a decoction to dissipate heat..." "Only prescribing medicines for cooling, isn't it just treating the symptoms but not the root cause?" Although I don't know much about medicine, I also understand this truth. "The Ninth Prince's body is too weak, and the ministers dare not prescribe strong medicine, just in case, in case..." They are clearly adopting a conservative treatment attitude, which annoys me secretly.But seeing the fearful and sweaty looks of the two imperial doctors below, and thinking that they also have their own difficulties, they couldn't go any further in desperation. So I left them, came to the Ninth Prince's bed, and called out: "Ninth Prince, wake up. Ninth Prince..." Yu Zhaorong and I yelled repeatedly like this for a long time before Ninth Prince opened his eyes slightly. Yu Zhaorong exclaimed in surprise: "Emperor, you're awake!" The Ninth Prince looked at me with pitiful eyes, and spoke to me in a hoarse voice: "Nu Xi, I feel so uncomfortable..." As he spoke, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye. The next day Shanshan saw that I had borrowed a lot of books from the Library Pavilion, which filled the table. I picked up one and began to look through it seriously. Shanshan casually picked up one of the books and read out the title: ""A Thousand Golden Prescriptions"..." Looking at the book in my hand again, "..." Shanshan was surprised and asked me: "Why did Miss suddenly start reading books on this topic?" I didn't answer, just stared eagerly. Shanshan suddenly understood what was happening, grabbed the book from my hand, and warned: "Miss, don't take this risk!" I looked up, "Shan, what's wrong with you?" Shan Shanyu said earnestly: "Miss, the Ninth Prince can't even be cured by the imperial physician, can the young lady save him with a few books? If the young lady takes care of this matter and he is cured, it will only win Yu Zhaorong. Thank you; but, what if it can't be cured? At that time, wouldn't all the faults be blamed on the young lady? Isn't this just giving Si Xiurong something to talk about..." I snatched back the book in Shanshan's hand, and said with a serious expression: "Shanshan, I will be careful. And," I paused, "I am not only for his sake, but also for myself." Although I studied medicine books hard, but there were so many blunt and quirky words in the medicine books, plus a lot of professional vocabulary, I read them for more than a month and still got nothing. It was Jingming who came up with an idea: "Miss, why don't you go to the pharmacy for a walk and observe it on the ground, it must be more rewarding." I was suddenly reminded by him, stared at him with a little bit of inquiry and asked: "Aren't you opposed to my medical study like Shanshan and the others?" Jing Ming replied: "The servant does not approve of Miss studying medicine for the Ninth Prince, but the servant thinks that Miss has a little understanding of medical skills, which is of great benefit. It can not only save oneself... but also harm others..." I didn't comment, but said to him: "Jingming, if you weren't a eunuch, you would surely be able to rise to the top and have power like the sky." Jingming replied respectfully: "The slave will follow the young lady, and he will be able to rise to the top." I originally wanted to come to the pharmacy alone, but Shanshan was worried about me, so she brought Tingyi along with her. Just approaching the threshold of the pharmacy, there is a fragrant and bitter smell of dried herbs. When the eunuch in charge of medicine saw me, he came out of the medicine table in a hurry and knelt down to pay his respects. I asked him to get up, holding a medicine book and making a one-to-one match, "Do you have rushes here?" The eunuch hurriedly replied: "Yes, Miss, what's the use?" "Give me some and I'll see what they look like." He hurried back to the medicine cabinet, pulled out a drawer, and presented me with a few plants. I observed the rush grass carefully, and compared it with the medicine book: "Rush rush, also known as jasper grass, tiger's beard grass. Dry, cold, non-toxic...it can be used to treat wound bleeding and sore throat..." I wrote it down carefully, and then asked, "Is there any skullcap?" The eunuch presented the skullcap to me again, and I compared it again: "Scutellaria, the root is bitter, flat, and non-toxic. It can cure bloody, hot pain..." I ordered a few more herbs, and carefully wrote down the same ones. After looking at it for a while, Shanshan moved a stool for me to sit on, but I didn't let it get in the way, and only cared about studying eagerly. At this time, an old woman in a white and blue dress came in, holding a brown glazed bowl and a medicine pestle in her hand, put it on the medicine table, and replied, "My lord, the medicine has been crushed." Wang Gonggong shouted at her: "Didn't you see that Miss is here? Why don't you go to say hello to Miss?" He was still in a hurry to wink at her. The mother-in-law found out that I was there, and hurriedly knelt down in front of me. I had no time to care about her, I wanted to wave her to get up, but my vision darkened, and I almost fell down. The mother-in-law was the closest to me, and instinctively stepped forward to help me. She said: "The old slave sees that Miss's face is pale, and her lower eyes are slightly swollen. It must be because she didn't sleep well at night, and there are many nightmares..." I calmed down, and then looked up at her in surprise. Tingyi was annoyed, she took her hand, helped me to sit on the chair herself, glared at her and said angrily: "What a vicious mouth! You speak disrespectfully, be careful to kill your old man!" Only then did the mother-in-law realize that she had caused a catastrophe by speaking too quickly, so she knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowing. The prince also quickly knelt down and apologized: "This old lady is getting old, she can't help talking nonsense all the time, Miss, please forgive me, don't blame her, I will punish her when I go back..." He also kicked her. Shanshan made a cup of tea and handed it to me. I took a few sips before my face became rosy again. In fact, what the mother-in-law said was right. I really haven't been able to sleep well these few days, and I have had some previous nightmares, so today I feel dizzy for a while.But I wonder how a mother-in-law who makes medicine can judge my disease syndrome without taking a pulse diagnosis... I asked the mother-in-law calmly, "Then how do you cure it in your opinion?" The mother-in-law must not believe that I would listen to her words, and was taken aback for a moment. With lingering fears in her heart, she stammered and said, "That's the old slave's nonsense, Miss, don't take it seriously..." I smiled at her kindly, "How can I take back what I said? Since I asked you, just say it, and I won't blame you. If you don't say it, then what should you do if you are convicted?" Having said so much, the mother-in-law could only sigh resignedly, stood up, and picked up the rushes that had just been placed on the cabinet, "Miss, you only need to use the rushes to decoct water instead of tea." At night, Shanshan put a bowl of yellowish water on the table, "Miss, the medicine is ready." I watched the steaming steam above the freshly decocted soup. Tingyi stepped forward and said solemnly: "Miss, don't drink this medicine rashly. Tingyi is willing to try the medicine for Miss." There was a hint of approval deep in my eyes, but my tone was still light, "Take it and give it to Jingming to drink." Tingyi looked at me and didn't understand my intentions. I said slowly: "Let him drink it, so that he can tell him that it's not enough for me to be clever, but also to be faithful." Tingyi has always looked down on Jingming, and she figured out my intentions, how could she let him go when she had such a good opportunity, so she happily took the order and left. Tingyi came to report the next day, saying that after Jingming drank it, he fell asleep after a while. She woke up in the middle of the night to observe him, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep. I asked Jingming again, and he said that he slept very well last night. Only then did I feel relieved to take the medicine, and the medicine worked really well. After more than ten days, I went to the pharmacy again and went to find the mother-in-law. I asked her about some medicinal properties without any trace. Although the mother-in-law had been in the palace for many years, she was not very scheming. I heard her talking, and secretly had to admire her. Her proficiency in various herbal medicines should be no less than that of the most authoritative imperial physician in the imperial hospital. With such a judgment in my heart, I knelt down and said solemnly: "Please teach me to study medicine." She was stunned, with a look of fear in her eyes, and hurriedly pulled me up, and said in a panic: "The old slave is just a slave who makes medicine, just doing physical labor. How can I know anything about medicine? Miss, don't scare the old slave." .” I knew in my heart that this was her excuse, but I didn't reveal anything, I just knelt down. She became more and more panicked, but she refused to agree to me, and then she knelt down to persuade me. After a while, I saw that she was about to wipe away her tears, so I helped her up and stood up myself. Seeing that I didn't pester her anymore, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After I came out, Tingyi defended me and said, "This man really doesn't know what to do!" I sighed, "Actually, I don't blame her, this matter is too risky..." "Then what to do?" I smiled at her and said confidently, "Don't you hear about 'Three Visits to Thatched Cottage' and 'Cheng Men Li Xue'?" Since then, I have never mentioned this matter, and no longer embarrass my mother-in-law.But I was much more diligent when I went to her place, and I helped her sort medicine from time to time, and secretly told the prince to take care of her. At the beginning, my mother-in-law had a lot of scruples about me, she stopped at being respectful and never dared to say a word.But after a long time, seeing that I was smart and sensible, I gradually relaxed my vigilance and got close to me. Whenever I help my mother-in-law make medicine, I always ask her something about herbal medicine intentionally or unintentionally. At first, she always said that she didn't know, but until one day, I helped her share the herbs, grabbed a handful of seeds at random, played with them carefully in her little hands, and said to herself: "It's so fun, it's like Like grains of rice." My mother-in-law seems to have no intention of taking my words and said: "This is cassia seed. It is made from the seeds of cassia sativa. It has the effects of clearing the liver, improving eyesight, diuresis, and laxative." I looked at my mother-in-law with wide eyes in surprise, but my mother-in-law seemed to be busy with other things as if she hadn't said anything just now. But I know that my mother-in-law has finally begun to accept me. It was pouring rain that day, and I came against the rain. My mother-in-law welcomed me into the house with a surprised expression, "Why is it raining, Miss?" I blinked narrowly at her and said, "I'm helping my mother-in-law make medicine." The mother-in-law said with a loving and resigned expression, "Today it's wet and we can't make medicine, otherwise the medicine will lose its effect if it gets wet with moisture." I showed a disappointed expression and let out a muffled oh. Seeing that I was really depressed, my mother-in-law couldn't help asking me in doubt: "Why does Miss study medicine? If a person like Miss falls ill, she can definitely find the best imperial physician to treat you." I replied sincerely: "That's nothing more than someone else's stuff, and I want to take my own destiny into my own hands. I made up my mind at the beginning, so I must learn." The mother-in-law repeated thoughtfully: "Do you take your own life into your own hands?" My expression suddenly became gloomy, "Yes. I can trust my mother-in-law, so I will tell my mother-in-law. Since ancient times, how many people in the court died of poisoning, let alone the eldest prince who died young, just because of eating A piece of jujube cake is dead, is there nothing strange in it?" The mother-in-law's face became ugly, and she stopped me: "Miss must not say such a thing!" But I didn't stop talking and looked at her steadfastly, "Nu Xi just doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes." The mother-in-law's face was uncertain, she looked at me with the child's face, and finally sighed, "The old slave obeys the young lady's orders." I got up and was about to bow, and called out to Master. My mother-in-law stopped me, and said anxiously: "How can this old slave be a master, Miss, you're making a fool of this old slave by calling me that." I thought about it, and fearing that it would be inconvenient to call her Master, I respectfully called her Granny Yao, which she happily accepted. Later, I expressed my doubts to my mother-in-law Yao, why did my mother-in-law understand medical principles even though she was just a small medicine maker? She explained: "Actually, the old slave is the distant niece of Mr. Zhang Duan. Mr. Zhang Duan saw that the old slave had no father or mother, so he took the old slave over and became a medicine boy by his side. Originally, the medical knowledge was passed on from male to female. Yes, it’s just that I’ve been obsessed with it, and I’ve kept my mind on it, so I learned it secretly. Later, Master Zhang Duan annoyed the Holy Majesty and was beheaded for some reason, and his family’s medicine book fell into my hands... Does Miss know Mrs. Zhang Duan?" I nodded, "Zhang Duan is a famous miracle doctor, known as 'Living Hua Tuo'." In fact, I know more about Zhang Duan than that. He was convicted because of my mother. Before her mother died of illness, the emperor sent Zhang Duan to treat her, but her mother became ill due to years of depression. Even a doctor as skilled as Zhang Duan was unable to recover in the end. In great grief, the emperor vented his anger on Zhang Duan and bestowed him with death. Only very few people know the whole story. Even if I knew the truth, I would not foolishly tell Grandma Yao. From then on, under the guidance of my mother-in-law Yao, I devoted myself to learning medicine. I don't know if I am a smart person, but I know that if there is something I want to accomplish, I must be a hardworking person. So I light up the lamp every night, tirelessly. a month later. Granny Yao covered my eyes with cloth strips. She took a herb and put it next to my nose. I sniffed it carefully and replied, "It's Baizhi." The medicine mother-in-law picked up another herbal medicine. I hesitated, "Yes...it's the little daughter." Granny Yao selected five kinds of herbs out of a hundred common herbs to test me. After the test was over, she untied the cloth strip. I asked eagerly, "Are you all right?" Granny Yao shook her head, smiled wryly and said, "I didn't get any of them right." I can't help feeling a little discouraged. Granny Yao patted me on the shoulder graciously, and comforted me: "It's not something that can be learned in a day or two. Miss is already very smart." Another month passed. "It's sweet mountain tea." "It's Kikyo." "It's mint." Granny Yao said happily: "Two out of five answers are correct. Keep up the good work." The twelfth prince and I were laughing and fighting, I was running ahead, and the twelve prince was chasing after me. I turned around and giggled at the twelve princes: "Twelve princes, hurry up!" The twelve princes suddenly shouted from behind: "Slave, be careful!" Before I could react, I slammed into someone's arms heavily. I covered my sore nose and looked up at the person coming. What greeted me was a pair of deep and cold eyes. Seeing him like this, I intentionally showed a charming and frivolous smile. The man was taken aback. The Twelfth Prince ran forward and nervously examined whether I was injured. Seeing that I was well, I breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to the man, "Hello, Brother Sihuang." Two more people walked up from behind, and someone laughed and said, "Is King Quan Yu the only one in Twelve Eyes? We are also your elder brothers." When we took a closer look, it turned out that it was King Nanying and King Yuanzang, and it was King Nanying who spoke just now. So the twelve princes bowed to them again. I also had to greet them. King Nanying snorted, King Quanyu remained silent, and King Yuanzang was the most kind. He calmed down the atmosphere and looked at me with a smile: "Nuxi seems to have grown a lot taller. It was only this little before, but now it has grown taller." Fourth brother's waist." He said and compared it. King Nanying was dissatisfied and said to King Yuanzang: "Let's not waste our time talking to the children. Father is still waiting for us to play Go in Qingliang Hall." The three of them left with their attendants. Playing Go... I thought to myself, I have an idea. I forced the Ninth Prince, whose body had just recovered, to come out. When I arrived at Qingliang Hall, I didn't go in, but I deliberately talked to the Ninth Prince in a moderate voice. "Ninth Prince, look at that butterfly has come here! How beautiful it is!" The Ninth Prince looked at me in surprise, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, how could there be any butterflies? ! Sure enough, after a while, Eunuch Zhu came out, saw me, and said with a smile, "My sage is really good at hearing, he said he heard Miss's voice, and told her to come in." So I took the Ninth Prince into the inner hall. The emperor was drinking tea, perhaps he had just finished a game. The Ninth Prince and I went to pay our respects to the Emperor. The emperor was slightly surprised to see the Ninth Prince, but it's not surprising after thinking about it.Because of his weak body, the Ninth Prince never left home, even on such a big day as Yuan Ri, he would often be sick. I don't know how long he hadn't seen his son. He looked up and down the Ninth Prince. Today, the Ninth Prince was wearing a dark-black red gold dragon beast hem floating auspicious clouds. Although his face was slightly pale, his eyes were calm and his posture was elegant and noble. He was already a handsome young man. The Ninth Prince stepped forward to pay respects, he was very nervous but still behaved decently, "Yu Er pays respects to Father Emperor." The emperor asked him to get up, and smiled, "You have grown so big in a short while, how are you doing?" The Ninth Prince replied: "Although I still get sick sometimes, it's already much better." The emperor groaned, stopped talking to him, and turned to watch King Nanying and King Yuanzang play chess. The Ninth Prince and I also stood aside to watch them play chess. It may be because of the weak nature of King Yuanzang. When playing chess, he was often timid, indecisive, and deeply passive. He was attacked by King Nanying repeatedly, and he was almost unable to resist. I secretly felt a little impatient watching from the side, King Yuanzang took a step down, I secretly screamed that it was not good, and pointed out inadvertently: "You should come down here!" King Nan Ying was deeply displeased, frowned and said, "It's a real gentleman to watch chess without talking." The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong, and smiled generously: "It's a child." After a while, King Yuanzang was defeated. The emperor laughed again, patted King Yuanzang on the shoulder with some regret and said, "If you follow Nuxi's steps, you might win." King Nanying said disdainfully, "What do children know?" I looked at him provocatively, "Then I wonder if King Nanying can condescend to play a game with Nuxi?" Nanying Wang Xu felt that playing chess with me would lower his self-esteem, and he instinctively wanted to refuse, but I interrupted in time: "The emperor praised Nuxi when he played chess with the emperor before, don't you think so? "Then I turned around to look at the emperor, with a begging look on my face. The emperor has always been very pampering and doting to me, how could he not allow it at this moment?Sure enough, the emperor smiled and said to King Nan Ying, "You can play a game with her." Even though King Nanying was unwilling in every possible way, he had no choice but to accept the order. In the beginning, Nan Ying Wang Ji was lazy, and he played chess casually without thinking deeply, showing that he was playing casually. Although I am not good at chess, I never play chess according to the way. I have no rules to follow. The chess game looks smooth but actually hides murderous intentions. The moves are also aggressive and vicious. At the beginning, Nan Ying Wang didn't take it seriously, until I proudly removed his five black stones, and then he realized that his chess game was not good. Although he still tried his best to put on a calm and leisurely look, but his brows were furrowed, and he had to think carefully and take every step of the way. But I know that the protagonist today is not me. If I keep entangled with King Nanying, I may not be able to take advantage of it, so I relax later, and I really lost a lot of the situation. After more than half of the chess game, I yelled "I'm going to lose, I'm going to lose" and stopped playing. King Nanying had a complacent look on his face, as if he took it for granted. I looked annoyed, and said dejectedly: "I lost again, why can't anyone win?" King Yuanzang asked suspiciously: "Nuxi, you just played a game just now, why did you say you lost again?" I pursed my lips and replied: "Nuxi always loses when playing chess with the Ninth Prince." The emperor raised his eyebrows, took another sip of tea, and said, "The Nine Emperors can also play Go?" I looked at the Ninth Prince with encouragement, he stepped forward and replied modestly: "My minister is just learning the surface." His modesty aroused the interest of the emperor. After all, the Ninth Prince is the emperor's son, and blood is thicker than water. It is impossible for the emperor not to care about the knowledge and ability of the Ninth Prince.So the emperor signaled: "Then you and the second child will play a game and let me see." King Nanying had a bad look on his face, so he had to work hard to endure it. With an attitude of watching the show, I thought to myself, you are not only unlucky today, but you will be ashamed in the future. I have great confidence in the Ninth Prince. Even though King Nanying is as old as the Ninth Prince, chess skills and age do not go hand in hand. Wang Nanying has a bad mind and has nothing to do. Fortunately, he is good at playing, but his chess skills are not the best. And the Ninth Prince usually studied chess when he had nothing to do, and he had already perfected it; moreover, he was good at deliberation, calm and composed, and quite talented in chess. So I am sure that today the king of Nanying must lose, and the Ninth Prince must win. Sure enough, at first the two of them seemed to be evenly matched, but gradually, the advantage of the Ninth Prince became apparent. The emperor nodded from time to time. King Nanying gradually became impetuous at the end of his descent, his body was always moving inadvertently, obviously restless; while the Ninth Prince was very steady in every move, neither arrogant nor impetuous. Just when the outcome of the chess game was about to be decided, the emperor interrupted them. He stretched out his hand to hold down the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "There is no need to compare. Both of them have their own merits." Although the emperor's words were soft, they had their own deterrent power. I didn't understand for a while, but suddenly I secretly marveled, the emperor really has a big heart. The Ninth Prince's victory is a foregone conclusion, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. And the words of the emperor not only affirmed the nine princes, but also preserved the honor of King Nanying as the eldest son of the emperor. I found that after all, I didn't think comprehensively enough. If the Ninth Prince really finishes playing this game of chess, it may not be beneficial.If the quarrel is too stiff, they will be accused of being arrogant and conceited, without elder brothers. The Ninth Prince paid homage to Nanying Wang Yi: "Your brother has overstepped." After this game of chess, the emperor had to re-examine the Ninth Prince. They all said that the Ninth Prince had been sick all year round and could do nothing. Today it seems that is not the case. He kindly asked the Ninth Prince: "My prince has a good chess skill, who did he learn from?" The Ninth Prince replied: "No one is a teacher." The emperor became more interested, "So you are self-taught?" The Ninth Prince lowered his head even lower, expressing self-effacing. King Yuanzang boasted: "The ninth younger brother is young and promising." I innocently smiled and said, "The Ninth Prince is the emperor's son." The emperor laughed hehe, noncommittal, but there was a look of joy in the corner of his eyes. When I said goodbye to the Ninth Prince, King Quan Yu chased after me. He said to me in a deep voice, "I have a few words to tell you." Seeing the situation, the Ninth Prince said: "Then I will go back to Wanhe Palace and wait for you." I don't know why King Quan Yu only talked to me, but seeing his eyes that seemed to see through everything, I was very agitated. He cut to the chase, "If my memory is not bad, I remember that Miss Nu Xi was with the Twelfth Prince when we first met, why is she here with the Ninth Prince?" I glared at him, "The Twelfth Prince was called to study by the Concubine Xian, so I can only play with the Ninth Prince, can't I?" He asked again: "You may not be able to lose when you play chess with Wang Nan Ying. Why did you stop playing chess all of a sudden?" I asked rhetorically, "Didn't the Ninth Prince stop playing halfway?" He was a little sullen, "That's because the father stopped this scene in time. If it's really what you think, the Ninth Prince won this game, and it will bring him more than just glory..." I knew that what I did just now was inappropriate, but I refused to admit it in front of him, and said stubbornly: "It is King Nan Ying who is not good at chess, who can blame..." He grabbed my arm and looked at me angrily. I was terrified and couldn't believe that he was treating me like this.I struggled desperately, but my strength was too weak, so I shouted: "Let me go!" He didn't care about my resistance at all, he just said coldly: "You are too willful!" My slender arm hurt from his grasp, angrily I didn't worry about anything at the moment, and bit his hand all at once. He frowned in pain, but he didn't let me go as I wished. A moment of stalemate. He was still clamping me, and I was biting his hand tightly. He looks at me and I look at him. His tone suddenly loosened, "Do you think you are smart? But sometimes you are mistaken for your smartness. I am worried that you will get into trouble." My body trembled visibly. He went on to say: "You can see the chess game so clearly, you must have heard this poem about chess: Lan Ke is really good at magic, and there have been several springs in a game; since he came out of the hole, he was invincible, so he must be forgiven." Forgive me." Do you have to be forgiving and forgiving? Suddenly a cold liquid dripped on his hand, and he looked at me in surprise. I forcefully suppressed my tears and let go. I lowered my head and asked in a low voice, "Are you saying that Nu Xi is annoying?" I walked to the Wanhe Palace in a daze, and found that the Ninth Prince was leaning against the wall and waiting for me outside the courtyard. I hurried a few steps and complained to him: "Why are you waiting outside? Be careful." He smiled innocently, "This way I can see you back sooner." Seeing that I was silent, he took my hand, and continued, "Nuxi, thank you today. If it weren't for you, maybe the father would still not remember that he still has nine sons alive... Finally today I can Fighting for my concubine. I have always been a burden to my concubine... Nuxi, how should I thank you..." Listening to the Ninth Prince's sincere words, and looking at his trusting eyes, I felt a sudden soreness in my heart. I almost hurt the Ninth Prince just now, but he didn't know anything, but he just trusted me blindly. I choked up. The Ninth Prince didn't know what to do, and went in, helpless, "Nuxi, what's wrong with you?" "I'm sorry... Ninth Prince... I'm sorry..." I repeated these three words tirelessly. The Ninth Prince asked me what was wrong at first, but seeing that I didn't say anything, I just kept crying. After a long time, as if I had just made up my mind, he took me into his arms half hesitantly, and coaxed me softly.
