Lin Weixi looked at the chess piece in her hand and smiled meaningfully: "The Crown Princess is really open-minded."

Isn’t it open-minded? A year ago, this was Lin Weixi’s thing.

This was Lin Weixi's former dowry. Gao Ran's maid hurriedly explained it to Lin Weixi. It was really ridiculous, and it still made people's teeth itch after laughing.

Lin Weixi knew that after she died of illness, her dowry would inevitably be redistributed by the British government, and she even acquiesced to this possibility in her heart. But when this result was really nakedly presented to her, Lin Weixi found that she still couldn't let it go.

It was not just the game of chess in front of her. Lin Weixi looked up and saw that the surrounding gold and silver furnishings, blue and white porcelain, and even the sandalwood furniture had a sense of familiarity.

Lin Weixi quickly looked away. If she continued to look at it, she would be angry to death. Seeing Lin Weixi's stiff face, Gao Ran thought that Lin Weixi was intimidated by her wealthy family background and felt ashamed of herself. He smiled with a clear smile and said, "Ningfu, this girl, always has no control over her words, and she often fails to speak her mind. , Miss Lin doesn’t have to worry about what she says, she doesn’t mean any harm."

"If you can't control your mouth, then you will be punished. If you still can't learn to speak, then you can sell it to the nanny." Lin Weixi was not comfortable at first, and she immediately became furious when she heard this. She looked at it impatiently Looking at Gao Ran, his voice still had a delicate and sick air, but the words he said were unforgiving, "My maid is not well disciplined, but she makes others take more trouble? Why should I take it easy on you? Your dog bites people. Not tied?"

Wan Xing burst out laughing. When she noticed other people's gaze, she quickly shrank her shoulders and lowered her head. Even so, her shoulders could be seen shaking slightly.

Wan Xing was bought directly from outside, so it would inevitably be worse in big scenes. Wan Yue had experienced it in the house and was now calmer than Wan Xing. Even if she really wanted to laugh, she had to hold back.

Ning Fu was embarrassed when Lin Weixi said it, but Wan Xing smiled after her. She felt ashamed and angry, and her eyes immediately turned red. Ningfu and the other maidservants glared at Lin Weixi angrily, while Gao Ran felt very shameless when someone scolded his eldest maid in front of her.

Mother Tao and others glared angrily. Gao Ran glanced back, moved his eyes slightly, and said still good-naturedly: "Ningfu is outspoken, but she says whatever she thinks in her heart. She is not as guilty as those people. She has a crooked heart. She has no ill intentions, and Miss Lin may have misunderstood."

"What does the Crown Princess mean? What does it mean to be outspoken so there is no malice? I am still outspoken. Why is the Crown Princess unhappy? And, let me tell you one thing, those people with crooked hearts in the Crown Princess's words are Who are you trying to insinuate?"

After Lin Weixi finished speaking, he did not wait for Gao Ran's reply, and at this time, the courtyard was unusually quiet. Lin Weixi paused for a moment and reacted immediately.

Gao Ran, a wilted man, did this to her again! It was always like this before Lin Weixi was reborn. It was obviously the other party who said some specious words first, provoking Lin Weixi's temper, and then Gao Ran started to pretend to be dumb and aggrieved. At this time, an elder or brother must happen to be passing by!

Lin Weixi turned around while holding her breath, and sure enough she saw Gu Chengyao standing not far away, and what was even more terrible was that Gu Huiyan was standing in front of him.

Gao Ran had already stood up at this time and greeted Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao meekly, looking decent and generous, while Lin Weixi was aggressive and seemed very ungrateful.

Lin Weixi stood up with a cold face and saluted stiffly, feeling so angry that she exploded. Gu Chengyao kept frowning, but he was worried that Lin Weixi was a guest, so he endured it.

Compared to Gu Chengyao who showed his displeasure clearly, Gu Huiyan's face was much calmer, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Gu Huiyan approached with people, and the maids on both sides bowed and gave way. Lin Weixi and Gao Ran both lowered their heads and called softly: "Your Majesty."

Gu Huiyan's eyes swept across the chessboard, without distinguishing between joy and anger, as if he just asked casually: "Are you playing chess?"

Gao Ran rushed to say: "Yes. My daughter-in-law often plays a new chess method with her brothers and sisters at home. I was talking to Miss Lin about this new way of playing chess, and then I didn't notice the prince and the prince. Please forgive me. Sin."

Lin Weixi snorted in her heart. She didn't know how many people had watched the scene where she just responded, but Gao Ran took the initiative to cover it up by talking about chess. In this way, Lin Weixi's reputation of being unreasonable and ignorant was even more solid.

As if he had just heard Gao Ran and Lin Weixi talking about chess, Gu Huiyan smiled and asked: "Oh? I didn't know there were new ways to play chess, what are they like?"

Gao Ran explained the gameplay of backgammon again. After hearing this, Gu Huiyan's eyes became interested: "The one who gets all five pieces together first wins. This method is quite new."

"I made my father laugh." Gao Ran pursed his lips and chuckled. Tao's mother next to him added in time, "Your Majesty, our young lady came up with this way of playing backgammon."

After hearing this, Gu Huiyan's eyes became more meaningful: "It's rare. Since you two are going to play chess, there is no need to delay your enjoyment, just continue."

Gao Ran smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Lin Weixi inquiringly. Lin Wei Xi was filled with anger, her eyes were shining brightly, and even her voice was choked: "Just do it, are you afraid of it?"

After hearing this, Gu Chengyao's brows furrowed even more tightly. Gao Ran nodded and smiled apologetically at Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao, and then stretched out his hand to signal Lin Weixi to sit down first.

Lin Weixi sat down directly with a cold face. After Gu Huiyan saw it, an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

Gao Ran Shi Shi Ran sat opposite, holding the shiny sunspot between his fingers, and said: "Miss Lin's first time to play, I took advantage, why don't I let Miss Lin have three children."

"Are you annoyed? If you really want to do it, why don't you just let me go first?" Lin Weixi's eyes were unkind, and his tone was as if he had eaten chili pepper. She looked at Gao Ran's face and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why, you don't want to? Then just do it, just pretend, you're not tired and I'm annoyed."

"Miss Lin!" Gu Chengyao couldn't stand it and couldn't help but remind her in a deep voice. His words caused big trouble. Lin Weixi turned around in confusion, with fire almost coming out of her eyes: "What did you ask me to do? I didn't talk to you!"

When Lin Weixi said this, his eyes were bright, like the finishing touch, and the whole delicate and unreal hibiscus face came to life. It can only be said that beauty is beauty. Even if she uses strong words, the person opposite cannot be really angry. What's more, Lin Weixi has a delicate body. Such a delicate beauty has to stare and look domineering. In the eyes of others, it is just like coquettishness. Same.

Gu Chengyao choked and was speechless. Gu Huiyan did not hold back his smile, tilted his head and smiled, and then said: "Chess is the way of a gentleman, pay attention to morality."

Lin Weixi managed to hold back her temper. Gao Ran, who was sitting opposite the chessboard, had a subtle feeling that she was being ignored. She was frightened. This was not the effect she wanted to achieve. Gao Ran spoke quickly, drawing everyone's attention back to him: "Miss Lin, I will make the first move and accept the concession."

Gao Ran is full of confidence. She is weak in Go, but when it comes to backgammon and checkers, how can these ancients compare with her? Gao Ran deliberately showed off his skills in front of her husband and King Yan, so that everyone could see who was the Bai Fumei with connotation and cultivation, and who was a idiot with empty beauty and empty brains.

Gao Ran was still thinking about whether her chess-playing posture was graceful, and whether her frowning look just revealed the beauty of a serious woman. She was fine-tuning the angle when she suddenly saw Lin Weixi putting the chess pieces between her fingers back into the chess box.

Gao Ran was stunned, what was Lin Weixi doing? She was a little unhappy: "What's wrong?"

Gu Chengyao frowned and said nothing. Instead, Gu Huiyan had a light smile on his face and pointed at the chessboard with his eyes: "She won."

Lin Weixi won? Gao Ran was shocked, it was impossible! She was playing backgammon. How could an ancient person win?

Gao Ran hurried to watch the chess game and found that, as King Yan said, Lin Weixi had already taken the lead in connecting the five pieces. Gao Ran had just been immersed in the thought of whether his posture was beautiful enough, and he didn't notice it.

Wan Xing and Wan Yue followed behind and looked at each other. They actually couldn't understand, but King Yan said that if the girl won, she would never go wrong. Wan Xing immediately clapped her hands happily: "This is the first time for the girl to play, and she actually... You beat the Crown Princess who came up with this kind of game? The girl is really awesome."

Gao Ran's face turned red all of a sudden. Since she played backgammon when she was eight years old, she has never lost by taking advantage of the rules. This time she was really careless, and she lost such a big face. Gao Ran learned from the experience, put away unnecessary thoughts, and focused on playing the second game with Lin Weixi.

However, this time Gao Ran could only hold on for a moment, and was easily taken down by Lin Weixi again.

Gao Ran was completely stunned. She smiled awkwardly in front of everyone's eyes, stroked her broken hair on her temples, and said, "Miss Lin is really smart, and she can understand everything at once. I just got distracted and made everyone laugh."

Gao Ran hinted in a subtle way that he deliberately let Lin Weixi, and Lin Weixi snorted disdainfully. She thought no one was paying attention, but Gu Huiyan actually looked at her.

Gu Huiyan tilted his head and coughed lightly, hiding the smile on his lips. Gu Chengyao actually noticed Lin Weixi's little movements. He felt a little embarrassed. Then he saw King Yan actually smiling. Gu Chengyao was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words.

For some reason, Gu Chengyao suddenly had a very subtle feeling.

After Gao Ran forcibly saluted himself, he straightened his expression and said to Lin Weixi: "Win three out of five games. Miss Lin, please."

Gao Ran vaguely revealed a posture that she had just let Lin Weixi off before, but now she was going to take it seriously. Gao Ran took out the examination posture in his previous life and stared at the chessboard intently. Her reputation and face were all in this round, and she couldn't let her mind wander anymore.

The third game was full of excitement from the beginning. Gao Ran was eager to win, but Lin Weixi also changed his previous style and became extremely aggressive, only attacking but not defending. At first, Gao Ran wanted to take advantage of Lin Weixi's eagerness to attack and chaos in order to win, but she soon discovered that "offense is the best defense" was true. She was tired of containing Lin Weixi, and her plan was in a mess. , and while she was being hung and running around, Lin Weixi won quietly again.

Lin Weixi put the white chess between his fingers back on the chessboard, raised his lips and smiled at Gao Ran, with a rather unforgiving look: "Win three out of five games, you're welcome."

Gao Ran was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lin Weixi's "you're welcome" was in reply to her "concession" at the beginning.

Gao Ran was embarrassed and aggrieved like never before. She never thought that she, a time-traveling woman, would lose when playing a modern game with ancient people. Before, Gao Ran thought he would win and boasted a lot. Now... Gao Ran has lived for so many years, and for the first time, he realized that it was not an exaggeration to want to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

Especially when Gu Huiyan and Gu Chengyao were still watching, Gao Ran sat there awkwardly, barely able to stand up. Seeing this, her maid hurriedly said: "The spring is cold and the wind is strong today. Is the imperial concubine stimulated by the spring cold?"

When Gao Ran heard this, he put his hand on his forehead in cooperation: "Maybe, I have been in a daze since I got up today, and I always remember things wrong."

Seeing this, Gu Chengyao had no choice but to go over and hold Gao Ran's arm, and said considerately: "Since you are not feeling well, go back quickly. It is windy in the garden, so be careful of catching the cold."

Gao Ran looked at him gratefully, his eyes as tender as water. Lin Wei Xi stood up slowly and watched Gao Ran being helped away weakly and feebly as if he was seriously ill. Gu Huiyan still stopped in place, turned around and saw Lin Weixi's expression, and asked funnyly: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Lin Weixi spoke very strongly and said word by word, "It's windy and I have a headache."

Before Gu Chengyao could walk far, he paused when he heard these words. Then he heard Gu Huiyan’s Qingyue laughter from behind him. Even though the sound was very soft, the joy in it was real: "Since I have a headache , then go back and rest quickly."

The people from Prince Zhao's Mansion came out reluctantly and said, "It's our young prince."

Gu Huiyan's eyes were sharp and his voice hinted at the power of Lei Jun: "Let him speak for himself."

Little Prince Zhao stood up from behind the servant and said in an inaudible voice: "It's me." After saying that, he muttered nonchalantly: "Didn't she fall? Who asked her to stop her? Watch the dragon boat with me."

"You haven't realized your mistake until now." Gu Huiyan looked at him coldly, "You inherited your father's throne at a young age. I used to pity you for losing your father when you were young, and I didn't discipline you very much. You, now it seems, have actually harmed you and allowed you to be so lawless."

The King of Yan is the leader of all the kings. Even the former King of Zhao stood here and did not dare to raise his head when being lectured by the King of Yan, let alone a nine-year-old child named Prince Zhao. Gu Huiyan had gone through several battles, and he had the aura he had gained from being among the dead. When he saw Gu Huiyan's arrogant and cold eyes, he was so frightened that Prince Zhao burst into tears. The cry of the nine-year-old child was sharp and loud, and everyone's ears hurt from being pricked, but King Yan was standing here. No one dared to move, not even the slaves of Prince Zhao's Mansion dared to coax their little ancestor.

The children's shrill cries echoed through the waterside pavilion. Princess Zhao hurried over and heard her son's cries from afar. Her heart was almost broken. She pushed away everyone and rushed to her son, hugged her life tightly, and cried: "Son, you have been weak since you were a child. Who has wronged you and made you cry like this? It's a pity that your father died early. , leaving only us orphans and widowed mothers, and we have nowhere to say anything when we are bullied..."
