The next morning when she woke up to go to school, Jiang Xuening's eye sockets were slightly red and swollen. Others naturally saw it, and they only thought in their minds that she went to Mingfeng Palace yesterday and did not know what she said to Princess Leyang, Fang Zhi was like this, so they didn't dare to ask more.

Fang Miao almost couldn't get up.

The palace servants at Yangzhizhai took the time to dig her out of the warm blanket. After washing up indiscriminately, she came out top-heavy. Seeing Jiang Xuening standing quietly on the porch outside, she wept with a sad face: " Did I get drunk last night? But I didn’t make a fool of myself, I didn’t say anything nonsense to offend His Royal Highness, right?”

Jiang Xuening smiled and shook her head.

She was relieved.

Zhou Baoying was very surprised at the side: "Did you drink alcohol last night?"

Fang Miao rubbed her head and said, "His Royal Highness called to drink, and also celebrated the birthday of the second girl Jiang, so I can only drink along with it? Oh, my head is dangling, it doesn't look like my own..."

You Yue saw it and laughed mockingly beside her.

There was no wind or snow last night, and the sun rises in the east this morning, with thin clouds covering the glazed tiles in the palace complex. It is a rare sunny day.

Going to school is still in Fengchen Hall.

Everyone walked along the long road in the palace. Most of the others have gotten to know each other these days, walking ahead and talking in a low voice, guessing what the gentlemen will say today, and what will be tested in Protestant Go. Jiang Xuening walked behind, listening for a while, and was absent-minded after a while.

It's just that after turning a corner and reaching the palace road in front of Defengchen Hall, Chen Shuyi, who was at the front, couldn't help but let out a "Hey": "Isn't that the person serving by the Holy One? Why are you here?"

Jiang Xuening followed the voice and looked up.

It was Zheng Bao.

I haven't seen him for a while, after he was promoted by his master's handprint **** Wang Xinyi, he seems to be getting better in the palace. The dark green robe he was wearing was brand new, and he was holding a dust whisk in his hand. His lips were red and his teeth were white, and his appearance was delicate. He was frowning slightly and looking towards the direction of the east side hall, asking the little **** standing in front of him. What.

The little **** replied a few words, bowed slightly, and went to the side hall.

Zheng Baoli straightened himself up, and when he turned his head, he saw the people from Yangzhizhai walking over here.

In the past, in front of Kunning Palace, everyone watched Zheng Bao being punished, and was rescued only after Linzi King Shen Jie asked for his love. Later, I heard that he, a **** in the harem, had the ability to go to the emperor's side to serve him, and he was secretly surprised for a while.

Seeing him here now, I couldn't help being a little surprised.

Jiang Xuening also had doubts in her heart.

Before everyone could ask any more questions, Zheng Bao had a keen mind, looked at their eyebrows and eyes, and guessed roughly, he took the initiative to nod his head and said: "Last night, Mr. Xie discussed with His Majesty and several elders very late, stayed in the palace, and slept in the bed. The side hall of Fengchen Hall. The Holy Majesty didn't want to disturb him early in the morning, but he brought up some troublesome matters later on, and Mr. De must go to discuss it, so he must come to disturb his dream, so I invite him to go."

It turned out to be a thank you.

This is true. Jiang Xuening still remembered that in the previous life, Xie Wei stayed in the palace very late for business, and when he stayed in the palace after the key was released, he was almost always in the Fengchen Palace. One is close to the emperor's bedroom, so it is convenient to listen to the summons in time; the other is close to Wenyuan Pavilion, so it is convenient to go if there are lectures.

Hearing Zheng Bao's words, everyone's doubts were cleared up, they all bowed to him, then passed by him, and entered the main hall of Fengchen Hall, waiting for the teacher who would give a lecture.

Jiang Xuening walked past with her eyes on her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose and her heart, and didn't take a second look at Zheng Bao.

After waiting in the palace for a while, Shen Zhiyi came forward followed by several palace people. It's just that it wasn't too early for her to come. As soon as she glanced at Jiang Xuening and smiled, Sun Shu, a Ph.D. in computing from the Imperial Academy, came.

Jiang Xuehui asked someone to find two chess books for her to read, and said that during her absence, her husband started teaching Go, which was true.

Sun Shu's "Ten Classics of Mathematics" has already been talked about for less than half.

Compared to other gentlemen, he was still young. Although he was not a bookworm, he was obsessed with arithmetic, and he told them that many things in this world implied the way of arithmetic. For example, in Go, it seems to be more thoughtful than anyone else, but in fact it is better to think faster and calculate more far-sighted.

Jiang Xuening never expected this to happen again, she didn't play Go well at all, and she was away for several days because of the Tongzhou incident, so she didn't know what was said earlier. Although people sat in the hall obediently, frowning and listening carefully, their minds were still like a mess.

If you don't understand, you will naturally be distracted.

Her position happened to be by the window, so she naturally looked out of boredom and took some errands. Unexpectedly, not long after her mind wandered, a figure in a blue Taoist robe broke in from the left of her field of vision, startling her.

Xie Wei was choked by the charcoal gas from the fire in the imperial dining room last night, and coughed, and when he returned to the side hall, he tossed and turned all night, and did not sleep well.

He got up when the little **** came to invite him.

His complexion was not very good. It's just that his complexion hasn't been particularly good since the beginning of winter last year, and others can't tell.

After a little washing, he came out of the side hall.

At this time, lectures had already started in the main hall, and the voice of the doctor of mathematics from the Imperial College talking about Go came from inside, and he couldn't help but subconsciously glance over there when he heard it.

It turned out that this one glance made him see Jiang Xuening.

The window sash was half-closed in the cold weather, and her pale face was slapped in the crack of the window, her sharp chin was resting on the palm of her hand, and her usually bright eyes seemed a little lifeless and dull, and she did not move for a long time. .

Obviously deserting!

When Xie Wei saw it, he stopped in his footsteps, and his brows were already furrowed.

Jiang Xuening was far away from him, but the moment she saw him stop and look at her, she already felt a chill run up her spine, she shivered, and she didn't know how to turn her head, so she stretched out her hand and "snapped" Close the sash.

The line of sight was cut off immediately.

It's just that the sudden sound can't help but startled Sun Shu who was teaching Go in the hall. He saw Jiang Xuening by the window, and couldn't help frowning: "What is Miss Jiang doing?"

Everyone looked at her.

Jiang Xuening smiled sheepishly, and explained: "It's a bit cold outside because of the wind blowing."

After all, she was sitting on the air vent.

Although Sun Shu was slightly dissatisfied with her making noise during his lecture, he didn't say anything, turned his head and continued talking.

Jiang Xuening listened for a while, and seeing that Sun Shu hadn't paid attention to her, she leaned forward and quietly opened the window sash again.

Outside the hall, the corners of the eaves and eaves are filled with light and jade steps.

But Xie Wei was gone.

I think Shen Lang is still waiting for him, so he has no time to stop and argue with her about these little things.

What's wrong with not being allowed to go to school?

Jiang Xuening murmured in her heart, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she made sense, so she felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, after finishing her studies in the morning, someone would come to "invite" her in the afternoon.

It was the little **** who I had seen before serving in the Fengchen Palace. He lowered his head respectfully and said to her: "Sir, Miss Jiang Er hasn't entered the palace for a long time, and she must have missed a lot in her homework. Let you come over in the afternoon." , Mr. will test the school and test the school."

Jiang Xuening felt as if she was mourning for her concubine.

His feet were filled with lead, and he moved back step by step to the side hall of Fengchen Hall. When he entered the hall, he saw that Xie Wei was already sitting behind the familiar desk, holding a tube of fine pen in his hand, writing a memorial. .

She came forward to greet her.

Xie Wei didn't even raise his eyelids, and the pen in his hand was flowing and flowing without any hesitation, he just asked: "Tongzhou has been playing around for a few days, and the mind has been playing wild, and you won't even listen to your homework when you return to the palace?"

Jiang Xuening felt wronged: "I heard it today."

Xie Wei turned his long fingers lightly, and after pens were separated, he took out a print from the box next to him, took a moment to glance at her, and said calmly: "Listen to when the flowers will bloom outside and when the snow will melt, so I can go out and let the waves go. ?”

She shouldn't, she shouldn't have been caught by Xie Wei when she deserted.

Jiang Xuening clasped her hands behind her back and clenched her fingers tightly.

Thinking about the palm of the hand that Xie Wei had slapped, and listening to his words "Lianglang Xingke" seemed to imply something, she couldn't help remembering that she had talked to Xiao Dingfei yesterday on the way to the Palace of Compassion, and was afraid of being turned over. In the end, he didn't dare to talk back, just buried his head.

Xie Wei put the seal on the place where the memorial was signed, closed it again, called the **** outside, and handed it to the cabinet. Looking back, I saw Jiang Xuening bored like a quail, and I couldn't help feeling bored.

It doesn't look lively at all.

He looked at it for a while, then suddenly said, "Don't you understand what Sun Shu said?"

Jiang Xuening was so surprised that she raised her head to look at him.

Xie Wei said: "I've been absent for a few days, it's strange if I can understand it. It's not hard to guess."

What surprised Jiang Xuening was not that he guessed this, but that he was willing to guess this. After all, it seemed that she was going to blame her for deserting, but once she said "I don't understand", it has nothing to do with her.

Xie Wei didn't look like he wanted to pursue it.

She blinked, and a bold idea came up in her heart, and she said tentatively: "Master Sun's speech is boring and boring, and the students can't keep up with him. , you teach me?"

These words first trampled Sun Shu under his feet, and then lifted Xie Wei up, it was flattery and flattery that couldn't be more clear.

Xie Wei felt that if he followed his past temperament, he must have frowned to tell her to correct her attitude.

After all, Sun Shu in the Imperial College is not a mediocre talent.

Just seeing her obediently standing in front of him with her hands behind her back, and her dull eyes filled with vigor when she deserted in the window in the morning, like a reindeer who has never seen anyone by the side of a forest stream, she feels much better.

The corners of the lips froze for a moment, and finally drew a slight arc, and said: "You are such an ignorant person, I don't know what kind of insanity I made."

He got up and sat in front of the window, and laid out the chessboard.

Jiang Xuening hit the snake with the stick, immediately said "Mr. is very kind", and then sat opposite Xie Wei.

She found that Xie Wei is a real person who prefers softness to hard work, as long as he doesn't confront him with thorns all over his body, it will be easy to coax him. No, no, this is Xie Ju'an who kills people without batting an eyelid. She really has the guts to use the word "coax"?

No need, no need.

Be respectful!

Jiang Xuening was taken aback by the word that popped out of her heart, and pulled back the thought of going astray in time.

Xie Wei put the chess box next to him.

He was dressed in a green Taoist robe, with dark cloud patterns rolled on his sleeves, like pines and clouds. He sat under the window, not seeing the coldness of the killing in Tongzhou that day, and regained his usual leisurely seclusion of listening to the flowers.

"You have to calculate in chess, it's a method. It's just that when we talk about Go, we talk more about 'potential'." Xie Wei didn't reject Sun Shujiao's tricks. When he glanced at her, he probably felt that it was a girl. Everyone likes Bai, so they put the box of Baizi on her right hand, "Scheming is a skill, if you can gain 'power', you will be able to achieve the Tao."

Jiang Xuening looked at the box of chess pieces.

Inadvertently raising his eyes, he found that Xie Wei's right hand had slender fingers, which were really pretty, but the knuckles in the middle of his ring finger were covered with a thin layer of silk cloth, which gave off a faint fragrance of ointment.

Then a thought came to her mind, remembering that when she was in Tongzhou, she saw a wound on his hand, but she couldn't remember where it was or which finger it was, so she asked, "Is the sir's hand wound still not healed?"

Xie Wei went to grab the chess piece's fingers.

His naturally closed eyelids were lifted, his lips were straightened, and he looked at Jiang Xuening opposite, without speaking for a long time.

Jiang Xuening's heart pounded, and somehow felt a chill in her eyes, her lips twitched, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to open her mouth when it came time.

There was a heart-pounding silence for a while.

After all, it was Xie Wei who withdrew his gaze first and didn't pay any attention to her question just now, as if he didn't hear him, and continued what he said earlier: "You can play soldiers on the Go board, and you fight with your mind. The chess board is like a territory, and the chess pieces If soldiers are pawns. Since ancient times, water can carry a boat and overturn it. The gain or loss of one piece may be insignificant. If it accumulates for a long time, it will be difficult to guide it, and it will cause trouble. Therefore, those who play chess should make the best use of the situation, just like governing the people and water. This chessboard If you can understand some of the knowledge you have learned, you will not be so confused in life or work!"

Being a person and doing things, so confused?

Jiang Xuening felt that he meant something.

But on the one hand, she didn't know much about Xie Wei, and on the other hand, she didn't know what she did wrong again, she only thought that the current half-saint was mocking her stupid head, and didn't dare to ask.

Besides, what Xie Wei just said suddenly reminded her of Shen Zhiyi's marriage...

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

It was not the first time Jiang Xuening heard this, she knew it was a common saying in court, but she never took it too seriously. However, Xie Wei said that playing chess is like governing the people and water, which made her think.

It must be known that the reason why Xiao Shu was able to dominate her in the previous life was that besides growing up in a wealthy family in the capital and being well-informed, Jiang Xuening thought in private that she was afraid that she had learned a lot when she went to Fengchen Palace, and it accumulated over time.

Now, people like Xie Ju'an are right in front of my eyes...

She touched a chess piece, rubbed it lightly with her fingertips, her eyes flickered, and said: "Is it the same with people and chess pieces? Chess pieces are fiddled with by the chess player, but each heart has its own heart, which grows in the stomach." Li. Playing chess can fiddle with chess pieces, but people want to say fiddle..."

Xie Wei remembered what the little **** said last night, and now he just wanted to take off Jiang Xuening's beautiful head and put it on the chessboard, so that she could reflect on herself, but didn't care what she asked, and just answered indifferently: "Heroes make the times, and the times push the heroes. Although people's hearts are unpredictable, they are also afraid of heroes. If you don't think carefully, others will stir up the flames a little, and your heart will go with the trend, so what's the problem?"

In fact, people's hearts are worse than this pawn.

When a gust of wind blows over, the chess pieces can still stand still; when a few words blow past, people's hearts will always fluctuate.

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes, faintly realizing something.

Some things always have a use, so that people can study hard with humility.

She is very serious about learning today.

Xie Wei answered her questions and talked about chess for an hour and a half, and she thanked her respectfully. Because the thoughts in his heart were overwhelming, he didn't notice Xie Wei's thoughtful eyes when he left. He just left Fengchen Palace, counted the time with his fingers, and waited on the only way to the Palace of Compassion, and after a while, he saw Xiao Dingfei coming out.

She deliberately walked on the palace road ahead.

Seeing that she was alone, Xiao Dingfei thought for a while, and after walking for a while, he excused that there was something left in the Compassion Ning Palace to look for, and turned his head to look for Jiang Xuening.

It was dark now.

Standing at the corner of the palace wall, Jiang Xuening didn't talk nonsense, she went straight to the tunnel: "Ding Fei's son has been in the market for many years, should he know some people? I want to ask you to do something."

Xiao Dingfei raised his handsome long eyebrows immediately.

He didn't refuse at all, and asked directly: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xuening asked him to listen to him, saying this and that, and that and that.

Xiao Dingfei was very puzzled when he heard this: "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Xuening said: "Just say you can't do it."

Xiao Dingfei laughed, how could he lose face in front of a beauty? He patted his chest and said, "This matter is on me, it's just..."

Jiang Xuening looked at him: "What?"

Xiao Dingfei scratched his head: "If there are too many people, it will cost some money."

Jiang Xuening frowned, counting all the money she had in her mind, thinking that there were still tens of thousands of taels of silver in Xie Wei's hands, and felt a little worried.

It's just another turn of the brain, and the eyebrows will be paved again.

You Yue has raised her for a long time, so it's time to find a chance to kill her.

She laughed and said, "It's simple."
