Huaiyu is slightly cool

It was cloudy and rainy for several days, but today it finally cleared up, and the match between Zhou Huai and Wei Xuan also ended in a draw.

Zhou Huai asked Wu Mingsheng to help her pawn the gift from Zhou's family and then placed bets for her. This trick also made her a lot of money, and everything went smoothly.But Zhou Huai's main purpose - to lure the snake out of the hole - failed.

Everything was calm, no one took the opportunity to make a move, and Zhou Huai had no chance to make use of the problem. This result disappointed Zhou Huai.However, she probably guessed that it might be Wu Mingtai who made a move in the court, which saved Zhou Huai's 'reputation' in this competition.Because only Wu Mingtai came forward, even if Zhou Huai's mud couldn't support the wall, those heaven's favored ones would make way for her one after another.

Zhou Huai originally planned to avoid the eyes of everyone by being injured or pretending to be injured in this game, and then prepare behind the scenes for the upcoming changes.But now Zhou Huai, who wanted to make trouble but nothing happened, felt a little regretful about her reckless mistake this time. A good game of chess was silently resolved, which made her sigh listlessly: "It's a pity! .”

At this time, Zhou Huai felt a little depressed. First, because she knew that even if she lived on the street, she could still live with her thick face, and living under Wu Mingtai's eyes, she would die of depression sooner or later due to too much pressure. .The second is because it is difficult to find a pure love that has nothing to do with power in this court where power is the axis. What's more, the person Zhou Huai wants is the eldest princess who has a blood relationship with Wu Mingtai's body in this life. She doesn't want to use power, but if she wants to hold great power, it is best to get the power that can force the eldest princess to bend her arrogance and subdue her, then she has to obey Wu Mingtai first, this is an unsolvable endless loop Either she gave up her love for the eldest princess and ran away immediately, or she chose to obey Wu Mingtai and then died of depression.

These two things made Zhou Huai very resistant. She clearly knew that the front palace and the harem were calm on the surface, but the storm was turbulent in the dark.But because of her lack of ability, she couldn't disturb this situation.Those aristocratic families probably know that with her being a child, no matter how much she is favored, she will have a long life in the future. Who knows what will happen in the future?And now she doesn't have the ability to threaten those aristocratic families, and those aristocratic families will not unite to deal with her and arouse the fear of the emperor.

Zhou Huai knew that she was harmless at this time, so it was useless to stir up trouble, and others didn't pay attention to her at all.So at this time, she was going to change from passive to active, and began to plan an attack.She has already figured it out, since she has already died once, what is there to be afraid of?If only to live, she can maintain the status quo.If you want to live comfortably, then some things have to be done.

In the afternoon, Ming Sheng had already sent all the money he won from the gambling to the palace. Zhou Huai was in the house to write the post. When he saw the bank note, he gave her [-]% of it, and said with a smile, "It's hard work."

But Wu Mingsheng only took [-]% of it: "I didn't do anything, everything depends on Sister Fang's help, if you repay the favor, these are enough."

Zhou Huai pushed back and said, "Take it all."

Wu Mingsheng saw Zhou Huai's seriousness, but she still shook her head: "It would be great if you could leave the palace. I'll take you to meet Sister Fang. She is a very good person, and you will definitely get along well."

Zhou Huai nodded with a smile: "There will be a chance." After Zhou Huai finished speaking, he picked up the Chinese regular script and brush and continued to copy the gentle and flexible calligraphy of the eldest princess , while absent-mindedly listening to Wu Mingsheng's narration, there was a listening expression with a smile on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest perfunctory.

Wu Mingsheng was young, so he didn't notice Zhou Huai's indifference, and he was still talking about some interesting stories about her friends outside the palace with great interest.

Zhou Huai was not in a high mood, and only answered a few words occasionally.It wasn't until Zhou Huai insisted on sending Wu Mingsheng to the palace gate to get on the carriage before leaving that Wu Mingsheng felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, Zhou Huai grabbed Wu Mingsheng's hand who was about to get into the car, and told him, "Be careful on the road, and be obedient when you get back." Zhou Huai bit the word 'obedient' a little bit harder before letting go hands.

Wu Mingsheng felt a foreign object in the palm of her hand, she was a little surprised, and her expression suddenly became tense. She pursed her lips and carefully looked around her eyes. Seeing that the servants around her were all downcast and not looking this way, she breathed a sigh of relief and held her hand. Fist nodded calmly to Zhou Huai.

Zhou Huai looked at her with a smile, with encouragement and praise in his eyes.After Wu Mingsheng saw it, his face turned red subconsciously, and he hurriedly got on the carriage when he recovered. Zhou Huai watched the carriage disappear without a trace before turning back.

Zhou Huai walked back calmly, not knowing at all that on the way back home, Wu Mingsheng turned pale with fright after opening the note, because she clearly saw the short line on the note: Lying in bed and pretending to be sick, be sure to wait for marriage proposal The envoy left.

And because the eldest princess knew that even if Zhou Huai won the bet, Yu Wei's family would not be injured, so the eldest princess didn't go to the game at all. When she heard the news at night, she was a little dazed.

"Is it a draw?" the eldest princess murmured to herself. She thought Zhou Huai would win the game if he insisted on winning, and would be even more arrogant after winning. Maybe he would show off in front of her, but she didn't expect it to be a draw. , The whole game was without any surprises, and the calm was almost eerie.

The eldest princess was puzzled, and when she came to Zhou Huai's side, Zhou Huai was eating, and saw a child carved in pink and jade sitting quietly behind the large table, holding a pair of ivory in her tender hands, with a blank face. Putting the food in front of her into her mouth one by one with an expression on her face, she began to chew and swallow, then took another bite of food, continued to chew and swallow, and her movements repeated like this, stiff and rigid like a puppet.The eldest princess looked at the exquisite and light food in the nine palaces in front of her, and recognized at a glance that Zhou Huai made it by herself. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva.But before she could speak, Zhou Huai, who was eating mechanically, suddenly raised his head, and those sparkling eyes looked straight at her.

"Are you eating?" The eldest princess seemed a little caught off guard and greeted awkwardly.

Zhou Huai seemed to come alive suddenly, and his cold expression also seemed to warm up, and it immediately changed into a smiling face.She stood up and greeted the eldest princess: "Have you eaten?"

The eldest princess nodded and shook her head.She ate dinner with Empress Wei, and because she was discussing matters with Empress Wei, she only ate [-]% full, so at this time, Zhou Huai let Zhou Huai take her hand to the dining table.She took the chopsticks from Zhou Huai and tasted a few delicate dishes in the nine-square grid. She knew Zhou Huai's cooking skills as soon as she tasted it, so she was even more puzzled, why this person had such a good dish Poisonous expression?

Zhou Huai had recovered his usual expression at this time, looked at the eldest princess with a smile and asked, "It's already ordered, why haven't you eaten yet? Are you busy with something else?"

"Father asked the crown prince to be responsible for receiving the envoys of those countries, but the crown prince and concubine have not yet been decided, and the queen mother is busy with the father's birthday banquet, so I will assist the reception of the envoys and their wives."

The Eldest Princess has a gentle expression, which is only seen after Zhou Huai has corrected his attitude towards study recently. If Zhou Huai is still like the salty fish when he first started studying, the Eldest Princess may not come at all at this time. Zhou Huai's side.

"Then you have to be busy for a while again?" Zhou Huai showed a regretful expression after finishing speaking, and then said: "When you build a mansion outside the palace, maybe there will be nothing so much to do."

The eldest princess smiled: "The queen mother said that after I finish this matter, I will let the emperor order the Ministry of Industry to speed up the construction of my princess mansion, so I may not have time to teach you your homework recently, you study by yourself, and I will teach you in the evening Spot check."

"How about I go live in your house."

Zhou Huai's words were a bit sudden, which caught the eldest princess by surprise. She looked at Zhou Huai uncertainly, and asked after a moment of hesitation, "Why?"

"Autumn is coming, you are warm."

The eldest princess frowned, it was only July, how could it be autumn?This person can't even make a plausible excuse for talking nonsense?

"Well, it's me who likes you. It's like not seeing you every day."

The eldest princess was stunned for a while, but she didn't realize it for a while. She looked at Zhou Huai for a long time before she understood Zhou Huai's meaning, and she was furious immediately: "Nonsense!"

The eldest princess who was molested became furious, and she pointed at Zhou Huai, her chest heaved sharply, but she couldn't say anything else.

Zhou Huai stared at her seriously and calmly, and this kind of eyes also made the eldest princess calm down slowly.The eldest princess carefully recognized Zhou Huai's expression to see if she was deliberately teasing her again, but found that Zhou Huai's face was already calm, showing no emotion.The eldest princess let go of her worries, took a few deep breaths before sitting down again, and looked at Zhou Huai silently. Apart from that, she had nothing to do with Zhou Huai.In her past and present lives, Zhou Huai was probably the only one who could make her furious with a single sentence, because she had never seen such a shameless female hooligan in the world as Zhou Huai!If it was another person who had no taboos, she might have ordered the beheading thousands of times. Only Zhou Huai, because of his special status, could still live well after bullying the royal family and the king.

Zhou Huai's expression was still as calm as water, but the eyes looking at the eldest princess were full of affection.The eldest princess was defeated first, avoiding Zhou Huai's gaze.Zhou Huai has been paying attention to the eldest princess's every move. At this time, the light in her eyes has gradually dimmed, and finally became dark. She said: "In our place, marriage is free, regardless of gender."

The eldest princess frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Huai, and didn't respond, but suddenly remembered a sentence Zhou Huai once said in her mind, "Find a gentle and virtuous man!" 'gentle?She didn't understand it for a while, and because she was not interested in Zhou Huai's preferences, she didn't pursue it further.She just didn't expect that Zhou Huai was so feminine, but she actually shared the bed with her several times!Thinking of this, the eldest princess trembled all over, and felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, like sleeping in the same bed with a child disguised as a woman. It's not disgusting, but it's still uncomfortable.But after a while, she was relieved, because she knew that she did not meet the gentle and virtuous standard that Zhou Huai said!

The eldest princess asked deliberately as if nothing had happened: "When you are in good spirits, do you like to play pranks?"

Zhou Huai narrowed his eyes and looked at the expression of the eldest princess, and after a while, he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Look at people."

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "This palace looks easy to bully?"

Zhou Huai replied with a smile: "I want to bully you...or you can bully me."

The eldest princess looked at her coldly, but Zhou Huai was not afraid.The eldest princess finally sighed: "You once said that you also loved, is it true?"

"Yes, a long time ago."

The eldest princess sneered: "The person you fell in love with is really unlucky."

"Yeah." Zhou Huai nodded calmly, then looked at the eldest princess with a slightly wicked look, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then do you think it's unlucky or lucky to meet me?"
