It's great, another day of lying down and idling in the palace

Concubine Li raised her eyes and smiled softly: "Concubine Ji, since we have met, why not play a game of chess with me?"

This request was very simple, Ji Yunqing nodded and agreed: "Okay!"

So, a smart maid came forward and quietly packed up the chessboard, and the two began to play chess seriously.

Concubine Li picked up a piece in her hand, put it down gently, and said casually: "Why did Concubine Ji ask the fourth young master to leave first?

Could it be that I am some kind of monstrous beast that he dares not ask the Fourth Young Master to see me?"

Ji Yunqing was puzzled from the bottom of his heart: "Why call him over? We are adults talking, it would be troublesome for a child to be here."

"How can you say that? I think the fourth young master is lively and cute, very smart, even the princess likes him very much."

As Concubine Li spoke, she held a black piece in her hand, gradually frowning and reluctant to put it down.

She really couldn't understand Ji Yunqing's way of playing chess. What was the meaning of placing the chess pieces in this place?

Could it be a sophisticated conspiracy?

Or is it used to confuse the vision?

Ji Yunqing didn't urge her either. She was thinking about where there was an empty space to put the chess piece.

She decided to count the words the other person spoke and put them on top.

He casually replied, "Really? Why does the princess do this? She praises Ruirui in front of you, but she praises the young master in front of me.

It is said that the eldest son has the demeanor of a prince at such a young age. The prince thinks highly of the eldest son and believes that he will definitely be a rare talent when he grows up.

It’s different from Ruirui who only looks up with an innocent and cute face.”

After finishing speaking, Ji Yunqing raised his head and looked at Concubine Li, his eyes full of confusion: "I keep talking about how good the eldest master is, could it be that the princess has some ideas?"

Concubine Li's expression changed slightly.

Soon she calmed down: "Concubine Ji is joking. No matter how good the eldest son is, he is old after all and is not as likable as the fourth son."

Ji Yunqing waved his hand nonchalantly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are just trying to comfort me. I am so worried.

I regret not holding back when I gave birth. Now there are several children in the mansion who are the same age as the fourth young master, and some are even younger.

People say that the eldest and youngest sons are the most beloved, but the youngest son is still young, and the eldest son is truly valued."

After listening to Ji Yunqing's words, Concubine Li didn't know how to respond for a long time.

Is it possible to hold back on giving birth?

And is it really okay to just say it out loud?

After thinking for a long time, Concubine Li could only utter one sentence: "Concubine Ji, you lose."

Ji Yunqing stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally said "Oh".

She still couldn't tell what winning or losing was.

The two played a few more games, and Concubine Li finally collapsed and came to a conclusion: "Concubine Ji, do you really know how to play chess?"

In fact, you don’t know how to play at all, right?

"Have you discovered it?"

Ji Yunqing was a little surprised, then smiled shyly: "I thought I hid it well"

Concubine Li: "..."

When I first saw her posture, I really couldn't tell.

Concubine Li closed her eyes and her temples throbbed uncontrollably.

Finally, he put down the chess piece: "Let's not play chess anymore."

She was afraid that even the pastime of playing chess would be deprived her.

Recalling past painful experiences.

The paintings on the wall outside her yard could not be cleaned no matter how hard someone tried, so she had to do it herself and paint new paintings to cover them up.

As for playing the piano, she can't stand the sound of the piano at all now. She always feels her head buzzing and full of messy noises.

Concubine Li rubbed her forehead in pain and continued, "Concubine Ji, you are a big celebrity in the mansion recently."

Ji Yunqing looked confused: "What do you mean?"

Because she was under house arrest, she was no longer aware of the rapid changes happening in the outside world.

But Concubine Li is really persistent. Even in this situation, she can still quickly regain her spirits.

Concubine Li's eyes were filled with envy: "Everyone knows that the prince comes to see you every now and then. He said you were under house arrest, but you're released so soon. I'm really happy for you."

"How can the ban be lifted so quickly?"

Ji Yunqing raised his eyebrows, and a slightly smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I sneaked out to play today, and I don't know when I will come out next time when I go back.

But I found an excuse, so I told the prince that it was Concubine Li who asked me out, and it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so I had the guts to sneak away."

Concubine Li was completely stunned.

He asked stupidly, "Isn't this bad?"

Ji Yunqing shook his head smugly, and the more he thought about it, the better the excuse he felt: "What's wrong with that?"

"You won't be there at the time, so I can say whatever I want, right?"

Concubine Li: “…” What a shameless thing to say!

But based on Ji Yunqing's previous personality, she might really say that.

"But the prince won't believe it."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid,"

Ji Yunqing comforted him halfheartedly: "Anyway, I am convinced that this is the story. Plus, we really were chatting and playing chess together, laughing and talking. It's not like there is no evidence, so it's not a lie."

"Even if others saw it, they would only see that we have a good relationship."

Concubine Li was speechless.

She was tired of persuading him again and again.

Finally, seeing that Ji Yunqing had no intention of changing his words, this poor woman completely abandoned her good manners and began to talk to Ji Yunqing angrily.

"It's obviously you who came up with this idea, Concubine Ji. How could you lie to the prince like this? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

He asked three questions in a row, and Ji Yunqing didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

She was confident and arrogant: "Don't say that, this is not a lie at all. You just said that the prince often comes to my place recently."

She slowly rolled up her sleeves, straightened her back, and said, "I'm a big celebrity!"

Concubine Li was furious: "You..."

Ji Yunqing licked his lips.

The fact that she was not poisoned proved that God approved of her.

In the end, Concubine Li no longer had the heart to continue with any of her plans or calculations. She turned away, her back filled with anger.

Ji Yunqing looked at her innocently as she left, his eyes confused: "Why did you just leave like that? Without saying anything more?"

The people present: “…”

Is it possible that he was pissed off by you, the concubine?

Ji Yunqing did not admit this.

She didn't go back directly, but tried her best to kill time on the road.

Look at the strange trees from time to time and pick up a fallen beautiful leaf to take back.

He squatted down again to look at the long line of ants. When he saw a lone ant, he would use a small stick to draw a circle on the ground.

Or pick a beautiful wild flower from the roadside and wear it on your shiny black hair.

In short, the maids behind her followed her, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Concubine, no matter how long you delay, you will eventually have to go back.

It would be fine if the prince was not here, but if the prince was waiting.

That's not a good situation...
