Chapter 352 Testing, Unpredictable

After the Mu family left, Qi Qian entered the old princess's yard, kicked off his shoes and sat on the kang.

"Grandma, it's already October. People are wearing cloaks outside. It's time for the earth dragon in your house to start burning."

The old princess waved her hand and said: "If it were another year, the fever would have started in September, but now, I don't feel cold yet. You see, my clothes are quite thin, but my hands are also warm."

Qi Qian reached out and touched her hand. It was indeed warm, and he smiled and said, "Even so, the daily prescriptions for body replenishment must be taken on time."

"Yes." The old princess smiled and said, "Thanks for your filial piety, otherwise my grandmother would not be as comfortable as she is now."

Qi Qian didn't care about this credit.

The old princess saw that he was not very interested, so she reached out and patted his hand and asked, "Have you had a good chat with the fifteenth girl?"

Qi Qian twitched the corner of his mouth.

The old princess sighed and said, "I think that girl is all about you. She has a good temperament, but she really doesn't want to?"

Qin Liuxi's approval was too accurate. She wanted to ask for the title of crown prince, but she didn't want to be suppressed. She didn't know what the emperor thought. He just said that there was no rush and that she would start a family first, and then granted marriage and official positions.

The Mu family is also from a high-ranking family, the queen's mother-in-law, and the person who is marrying her is the queen's sister-in-law. She has a distinguished status and is considered a good match.

However, this child is not in a high mood.

The old princess said tentatively: "If you have someone else in your heart and you really don't want to, why bother with this old face? How about asking the Queen Mother to give up the marriage?"

Qi Qian shook his head: "Grandma, the imperial decree granting marriage has been issued a long time ago. To refute this gift of marriage, I should have asked for it before the imperial decree was issued. But I missed this opportunity and if I go now, it will be an injustice to Prince Ning's palace. ”

The old princess looked at him distressedly, this child was a responsible person.

She thought of the child Qin Liuxi, opened her mouth, but said nothing, and said: "You just need to understand, Mu Shiwu is a good girl, since you accepted the imperial edict, you should calm down and be nice to others. After getting married, with the Mu family as my family, I might be able to hold the position of heir apparent in the future."

Qi Qian disagreed. He was inexplicably sure that the position of the crown prince would not fall on him.

Thinking of this, he looked out the window and looked in the direction of the main courtyard with an indifferent expression.

After a long while, he looked away, a little irritated, and said: "Grandma, please rest, I'm going to practice martial arts."

"Hey, let them wait carefully and take a shower as soon as they finish practicing. Don't catch a cold." The old princess said hurriedly.

"Um."

After Qi Qian left, the old princess said to her close confidant, "I haven't seen Qian'er sincerely happy since he returned to Beijing. He was still happy when he was in Ningzhou."

Grandma changed a bowl of tea for her and said, "That's what you said."

The old princess sighed: "What a pity."

The child is a good child, but she is the daughter of the Qin family who was imprisoned, a priest who got into great trouble, and she was just punished. Who dares to get into trouble with this?

…

Qi Qian was not the only one who missed Qin Liuxi. Yu Changkong, who had successfully returned to his family, also missed her.

He thought of her while eating, and also thought of her while reading. At that time, he also held a copy of the Qimen Bagua array diagram in his hand, and was lost in thought while staring at the array called the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array.

If it were her place, how would she set up the formation, what about the gate of life, and what about the gate of death?

He was lost in thought, the tips of his ears moved slightly, and he called softly: "Sifang."

Sifang immediately stepped forward, took the book, and stood in front of the case.

In the eyes of everyone in the clan, he is Yu Changkong's eyes, reading to him.

"Brother, are you here?"

Sifang immediately walked to the door, lifted the curtain, looked out, cupped his hands and said, "Second Young Master, our Young Master is here."

The person who came was Yu Linglan, another legendary figure of the Yu family. If Yu Changkong had not been there, he would have been the first son of the Yu family and could succeed the Yu family. Of course, in the eyes of the Yu family, Yu Changkong's generation is also Only Yu Linglan can carry the banner, but Yu Changkong is blind.

Yu Linglan is the eldest son of the second wife, the son of Yu Changkong's second uncle. He is one year younger than Yu Changkong. Xu is determined to compete with Yu Changkong. He is also proficient in the four books and five classics of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has extensive knowledge. Compared with Yu Changkong, a flower on the high mountain that is inaccessible, he is like a warm spring, more mellow and approachable.

Yu Linglan, whose courtesy name is Boyin, is known as Boyin's son. He wears white clothes all year round.

The curtain was lifted, Yu Linglan walked in, glanced at the book in Sifang's hand, and looked up to see Yu Changkong sitting in a black robe, with a special chessboard beside him. As usual, he and he Play chess yourself.

Yu Linglan bowed her hands and said, "I heard that eldest brother is back. Is the journey going well?"

Although Yu Changkong couldn't see it, Yu Linglan's courtesy was still there.

"TOEFL, everything is fine, sit down." Yu Changkong said a few words concisely and indifferently, still staring at the chessboard.

Sifang made a cup of tea and brought it to Yu Linglan, then stood aside.

Yu Linglan said: "Brother, I'd rather play chess with myself. Why don't I, my little brother, play a game with you?"

"No, what's wrong with you?" Yu Changkong raised his head and looked over. His eyes were as before, as if they were unfocused and calm.

Yu Linglan looked into his eyes and smiled happily: "It's okay, I just saw my elder brother coming back and came to see you."

Yu Changkong lowered his eyes, holding black in one hand, and made a move, while holding white in the other hand, he blocked the path of the black move with precision.

Yu Linglan's eyes flashed lightly and she said: "Brother did not hesitate and was very precise, as if he could see with his eyes."

Sifang's breathing was a little messy.

Yu Changkong, however, remained calm, and placed his chess piece, mockingly saying, "If you were blind for ten years and had to play with a special chessboard every day, you could do it too."

Yu Linglan quickly apologized, "I didn't mean to poke my brother in the wound."

Yu Changkong held the chess piece and said, "Get out."

Yu Linglan saw him chasing people away, so he had to stand up. Suddenly, he came close to Yu Changkong and moved the chess piece with his hand, "I think it's more interesting for the white piece to move here."

He glanced at Yu Changkong, who just frowned, looking unhappy, without moving his eyes at all, not even glancing at him.

Yu Linglan then said goodbye and left.

"Young Master, I was scared to death. I thought the second young master had seen through it." Sifang said, patting his chest.

Yu Changkong frowned and said, "He was testing you. You almost got exposed just now. I'm afraid you can't keep it secret for long."

He could control his expression and eyes, but it was difficult for Sifang and the others to act, and Yu Linglan, Yu Changkong never looked down on him.

"He has improved." Yu Changkong watched Yu Linglan's clothes disappear at the gate, frowning. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Yu Linglan approached just now, he inexplicably felt a great malice.

Yu Changkong pressed his eyes with his slender fingers, but he didn't know that outside the yard, Yu Linglan was looking at his yard, with a wicked smile on his lips: "Interesting."
