Chapter 129 Princess Heshuo's Mansion

After Chen Qingyun packed up, he took Pearl out of the house and got onto the carriage.

It turned out that Princess Heshuo submitted a post to Duke Chen’s Mansion the day before yesterday. I heard that many official ladies were invited to the Princess’ Mansion to have a small gathering.

Zhenzhu sat in the carriage and sighed: "Miss, Han Yu and Han Feng are gone, I feel a little worried."

Chen Qingyun actually felt a little bit like this. In the past, he always thought that Han Yu and Han Feng had been protecting them in the dark. Now, looking at the golden silk bracelet on his wrist, he deeply realized that Han Yu had indeed left.

"Don't worry, Han Qing and Han Shuang were found by my grandfather, and they must be of their own extraordinary power." Chen Qingyun comforted her.

Pearl nodded seriously: "The old general has a great ability, but Miss. It seems that Princess Heshuo is not good at coming. You must be careful today."

Chen Qingyun smiled and poked the pearl's forehead: "Why, you seem to have become smarter, and you also know that the princess is not good."

Pearl bulged her cheeks: "Princess Jing'an likes Prince Li. I was so embarrassed before, Miss. The princess is her mother. Suddenly, she posted a post to the lady. There must be a fraud."

Chen Qingyun smiled but didn't say anything. He heard that Princess Jing'an's situation had always been bad. Princess Heshuo was just such an only daughter, and she was still in the mood to hold a banquet. Even if it was not the Hongmen Banquet specially set up for her, she would definitely make things difficult for herself.

She thought, then closed her eyes and rested, so she could be more energetic to deal with the next thing.

When we arrived at the princess's mansion, we found that the eldest princess and the third prince had also come. Chen Qingyun then appreciated the profound meaning of the banquet.

I have long heard that Princess Heshuo and the Queen have a very good relationship. The eldest princess and the third prince are also born by the queen, and now they are at the age of getting married.

Today, they are basically the legitimate daughters of the high-ranking families, and the third prince does not have a concubine, so they have some intention of looking at him.

Chen Qingyun remained silent, but just gave Princess Heshuo a regular greeting, and then stayed aside and sat quietly.

Princess Heshuo looked at Chen Qingyun with a faint resentment, but she did not directly make things difficult for her.

Chen Qingyun knew it in his heart. I am afraid that even if Princess Heshuo asked her to come, she would be prepared to make things difficult for her and let her be the Green Leaf. She could go with the flow, after all, she didn't want to marry into the royal family.

After everyone sat down, Princess Heshuo slowly spoke: "I got the last work of the master of the previous dynasty some time ago. I have nothing to do, so I ask you to review and watch it. I also got a game of Go. If any lady can crack it, I will definitely have a lot of rewards."

Immediately, a maid stood in front of her with a landscape painting, which is worthy of being a master's work. In the painting, the green mountains and waters are floating on the peaks and mountains. The vast river surface is filled with mountain-shaped tower shadows. A few wisps of milky white fog are carried in the mountains. In the mist, a slender white can be seen faintly, which is a waterfall rushing down.

With the third prince here, the ladies naturally rush to express themselves. A ladies immediately recited poems to the painting, and received a lot of praise from Princess Heshuo.

But in terms of chess game, Princess Heshuo smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Ji is proficient in chess skills, why not try to solve this endgame."

The Miss Ji she mentioned was Ji Qianxue, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, who was the most famous talented woman in Kyoto. Naturally, she could not let Princess Heshuo face her. She bowed and walked slowly to the chess game she had set up, holding the chess piece in her hand to meditate.

The third prince smiled heartily: "Then let me play chess with Miss Ji."

Chen Qingyun looked at the third prince's attitude and knew it in his heart. It seemed that the third prince and the queen liked Ji Qianxue as the third prince's concubine.

She turned her gaze to Ji Qianxue. The woman in front of the chess game looked a little thin. She was wearing a beige dark-patterned double-breasted skirt. Under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows, her eyes were like autumn water, and her body was filled with elegant aura.

Chen Qingyun was still a little surprised. He didn't expect Ji Qianxue to come. He heard that she was in a bad health, so she kept her in the deep boudoir for many years and did not often go out for banquets.

It seems that maybe it was because of the intention of getting married, so I came out to walk around more. The last time I saw her at the imperial concubine banquet, she was indeed a talented woman.

Princess Heshuo saw Chen Qingyun staring at this side and suddenly said, "Miss Chen is also interested in this endgame?"

Chen Qingyun lowered his eyes and replied, "I am not good at chess skills, I just want to see how Miss Ji breaks the deadlock."

Princess Heshuo sneered, and was about to make things difficult, Ji Qianxue took the initiative to speak: "I'm a little hesitant, if Miss Chen doesn't mind, why don't you come and try it."

She looked gentle and kind, and it didn't look like she was deliberately making things difficult.

Although Chen Qingyun will not cause trouble, he will not deliberately hide his shortcomings and lower his posture. This will only make some people feel that you are weak and bullied, so they will also walk forward calmly and observe the direction of the chessboard.

Princess Heshuo said coldly: "If Miss Chen really can't understand, you don't have to force yourself to break the deadlock. Just stand by me and watch."

Chen Qingyun pondered without saying a word, then picked up a black piece and went down to the chessboard.

Surprise and praise flashed in Ji Qianxue's eyes. She was so arrogant that she had not seen this before, so she pinched the white skull and left a son.

Seeing this, the third prince naturally couldn't interrupt the situation halfway, so he gave up Chen Qingyun's seat generously.

Chen Qingyun and Ji Qianxue were back and forth. As Chen Qingyun gradually fell, Ji Qianxue's expression became more and more serious, and she couldn't help but say: "Huh?"

The onlookers felt a little surprised and strange when they heard Ji Qianxue's awesomeness in his voice.

Ji Qianxue's chess skills are outstanding, and even the emperor once praised her. Chen Qingyun not only could break the deadlock and fight her, but also seemed to have consumed her energy extremely, which was really unexpected.

After a while, Ji Qianxue narrowly won, but she was ashamed to look at Chen Qingyun: "Thank you for giving in to Miss Chen."

Chen Qingyun smiled indifferently: "Miss Ji's skill in chess is excellent, Qingyun is willing to give up the disadvantage."

Ji Qianxue looked at Chen Qingyun, with her green and ink hair, her lips were red without touching, her eyebrows were green without touching, her face was as jade as her body was graceful. This smile was like a peony containing smoke, which was so beautiful that it was not as beautiful as the world. Even the third prince was stunned.

Princess Heshuo's eyes flashed with anger, and she praised Ji Qianxue vigorously, without even looking at Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun made way out of the position without any worries and suggested that Miss Ji play a game with the third prince.

Until the end of the banquet, Chen Qingyun didn't speak much except for talking to Lin Xueying.

After walking out of Princess Heshuo's Mansion, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after walking for a while, she asked someone to stop her on the carriage on the road.

Chen Qingyun's heart tightened, and Pearl poked his head out and asked, "Who?"

When she saw the person in front of her, she immediately smiled and shouted, "Miss, it's the prince!"

Chen Qingyun immediately got off the carriage. The King of Li in front of him was full of dust. It was obvious that he had come back from outside before he could return to the palace to find her first.

He walked over with a smile: "Qingyun, I'm back, I've found the medicine."
