Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Qi Yan closed the ancient scroll in his hand, the sun was already rising outside the window.

Nangong Jingnv finished her bath and had breakfast and lunch under the service of her maid.

Qi Yan figured it out after a little thought: Logically speaking, even if it was the day after the big wedding, the maid would not dare to let Nangong Jingnv miss two meals. The other party should have woken up long ago but Chuntao didn't come to inform her.

This is no wonder, the son-in-law seems to be a beautiful royal relative, but everything about him comes from the attitude of the princess.

The status of the "unfavored" son-in-law in the princess mansion is far inferior to that of a favored female official in charge.

As the female official in charge of the princess mansion, Chuntao naturally didn't need to obey the consort before she knew the princess' attitude.

And Nangong Jingnv, who is so high above, can't see these dirty things between servants.She hadn't figured out how to get along with this strange son-in-law, Qi Yanchen's habits just relieved her pressure.

As for not calling Qi Yan during the meal, on the one hand, the maid did not remind her, when Nangong Jingnv remembered that there was one more person in the mansion, it was already past the meal time.

She thought optimistically: The princess mansion has everything, so why not have Qi Yan's food to eat?

But Nangong Jingnv was wrong, the huge Princess Mansion did not "prepare" Qi Yan's meals.

There are two kitchens in the Princess Mansion. The small stove is dedicated to cooking Nangong Jingnv's meals, and all the servants use the other kitchen.

Most of the instructions of the Princess Mansion are conveyed by the two female officials in charge. From a certain point of view: Chun Tao and Qiu Ju represent Nangong Jingnv.

Qi Yan "offended" Chun Tao, and the female officer in charge didn't send an order, so how dare Pao Ding start a small incident privately?

Even if Qi Yan doesn't mind eating Dazao, but the son-in-law is also the master, and these servants would never dare to share the food made by Dazao with her.

After half a day of sorting out, Qi Yan roughly figured out how to carry out the new revenge plan.

The first thing to do is to unplug these two loyal female officials in charge!

These two people are the sons of Nangong Rang when he was the prime minister, and they have served Nangong Jingnv since childhood, and the relationship between the master and servant is very good.It can be seen from the fact that the two female officials have already passed the age of leaving the palace, but they are still willing to stay in the palace.

It is not a good thing to have such two experienced "human beings" by Nangong Jingnv's side.

Qi Yan put the ancient scroll back to its original place, got up and walked towards the main hall.

Nangong Jingnv was fiddling with Jiuqu Lianhuan boredly, Qiu Ju was sitting aside doing needlework, and Chun Tao, who was on duty last night, was allowed by Nangong Jingnv to rest in the ear room.

Qi Yan came to the gate of the palace and asked the servant girl guarding the gate: "Is Your Highness here?"

"Yes, does the son-in-law need a servant to pass it on?"

"It's work."

The palace maid pushed open the small door and entered the main hall, and said a blessing to Qiu Ju's ear, "My son-in-law is asking to see His Highness, and is waiting outside the hall."

Qiu Ju nodded, and came to Nangong Jingnv's side: "Your Highness."

"Huh?" Nangong Jingnv held her chin with one hand, and fiddled with Jiulianhuan with the other.

"My son-in-law asks to see you."

"Let him in."

Qiu Ju turned around and nodded, the maid took orders and went, and called another maid to open the door of the palace: "Your Highness, please."

"Thank you."

Qiu Ju bowed to Qi Yan, put away the sewing dustpan and went out.

"Qi Yan sees Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnv glanced at it and said lightly, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Looking at each other without words, Nangong Jingnv felt a little uncomfortable, and simply pushed Jiuqu Linglong forward: "Here, can you solve it?"

"You can give it a try."

"Then you untie it for me."

But Qi Yan held his stomach, and said with a wry smile: "Before you untie it, could Your Highness give me some pastries?" After speaking, she looked at the two plates of pastries on the table and pursed her lips.

Nangong Jingnv looked at Qi Yan in astonishment: "You haven't eaten yet?"

Qi Yan sighed softly: "I forgot the time when I got up, and I missed both meals."

Nangong Jingnv frowned slightly: "The servant didn't bring you food? Since you're hungry, why didn't you pass it on?"

Hearing this, Qi Yan looked helplessly at Nangong Jingnu with those amber eyes, smiled wryly and did not speak.

Nangong Jingnv took back the Jiuqu Lianhuan and pushed the two plates of pastries on the table forward: "Eat it."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnv held her chin and watched as Qi Yan ate three pieces in a row, and then she slowed down in getting the cakes. It seemed that this person was really hungry.

Although Nangong Jingnv is the most favored princess, she has a gentle temper and never treats her servants harshly.Occasionally, her temper came and went quickly. Although she kicked Qi Yan in the street, she did not show her identity to pursue the crime of collision.

It was through this matter that Qi Yan got to know the other party's temperament, and deliberately acted out the "grievance" she had suffered.

Sure enough, when the two plates of pastries were bottomed out, a trace of guilt flashed in Nangong Jingnu's eyes: "Is that enough? Do you want to pass on the meal?"

"Thank you for your sympathy. It's the minister himself who missed the right time to eat, so don't bother."

"Then... are you full?"

Qi Yan nodded, looked at Nangong Jingnu with sincere eyes, spread out her clean palms, and her slender fingers were clearly knuckles: "Your Highness, please hand over the Jiuqu Lianhuan to your servants."

"Oh, good." Nangong Jingnv put the Jiuqu Lianhuan in Qi Yan's hand: "I have been playing with it for more than ten days, but I haven't found a way to untie it."

Qi Yan raised Jiuqu Lianhuan to his face and shook it, and the rings hit each other with a clear and crisp voice.She fiddled with it, and she understood clearly: "Your Highness, can you just untie it?"

"Ah."

"Any method will do?"

"Ok!"

After the words fell, Qi Yan let go of her hand.

With a crisp sound, the Jiuqu Lianhuan fell into several pieces, Qi Yan leaned over to pick up the pieces, and put them on the table in a row: "It's untied."

Nangong Jingnu was a little displeased: "You are cheating!"

Qi Yan got up and bowed his hands: "Your Highness only said that you can untie it, and didn't ask for the Jiuqu Lianhuan to be intact, besides..." Qi Yan stopped and made a fool of himself.

"what?"

"Your subject once read in an ancient book that the so-called 'Nine-Twist Chain' is carved out of a single piece of jade by a skilled craftsman. The rings are intertwined and seamlessly stitched together. Only this method can untie them."

Nangong Jingnv was stunned, she folded her arms and turned her head to "hum", Qi Yan was in a daze: If Xiaodie is still alive...

But this strangeness was fleeting, and the things she was carrying in her heart did not allow her to lose her composure.

Qi Yan straightened her expression, with a gentle smile on her lips, she said softly: "How can I make Your Highness happy?"

Nangong Jingnv's expression was a little loose, and a look of anticipation flashed in her eyes: She wants to go out for a stroll!

Qiyan has seen this look before, when she was still the prince of the grassland: in the winter when Xiaodie traps hares, the hares smell the fragrance of grass, and the appearance of poking their heads outside the trap is exactly the same as Nangong Jingnv at this moment.

"Why don't you let your Highness listen to me?"

Nangong Jingnv became even more angry, and said angrily: "I don't like it!"

Qi Yan coaxed softly: "There is a golden house in the middle, and there is Yan Ruyu in the middle."

"I don't lack gold, silver and jewelry, and I don't need Meijiao'e."

Qi Yan curled her lips, it seems that Princess Zhenzhen still has something: "Then... how about playing chess with His Highness?"

"I don't know how to play chess!" Nangong Jingnv glared at Qi Yan angrily, she almost said loudly that she wanted to leave the house, why is this person so stupid!

How could Qi Yan not know?But she, who is well versed in children's temperament, knows that things that are too easy to get are not precious.

"The way of chess is ever-changing and all-encompassing; Your Highness will definitely like it."

"……Really?"

"Just try it and you'll know."

Nangong Jingnv was skeptical, but nodded when she saw Qi Yan's sincere and expectant eyes, and ordered Qiuju to bring the chessboard.

Qi Yan first explained the basic rules to Nangong Jingnv, and then set up a few simple robberies.

"His Royal Highness, let's try, where can Baizi be eaten?"

Nangong Jingnv glanced at it and made a quick move.

Qi Yan nodded, and set up another doubles game: "Your Highness, try again?"

This time, Nangong Jingnv just took a quick glance, and she accurately dropped the sunspot.This surprised Qi Yan a bit, and she set up another mess that she planned to teach next time: "Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv held a sunspot in her hand, she concentrated on looking at the chessboard, she dropped the piece after a while, raised her head to look at Qi Yan: "Is that right?"

Qi Yan smiled, and praised sincerely: "Your Highness is really clever, you can understand everything."

"Really?" Nangong Jingnv raised her chin proudly, the unhappiness of not being able to go out was swept away.It's like a child who forgets his "original intention" after being praised.

Qi Yan smiled, but a trace of doubt flashed in her heart: How can a princess who is loved by thousands of people be so easy to coax?

Seeing that Nangong Jingnv became interested, Qi Yan struck while the iron was hot and set up another mess.

But this time Qi Yan didn't just look at it, but said seriously: "When I was your highness's age, I was troubled by this mess for a long time." Put the sunspot here, but the master saw it, but the explanation was not good. Your Highness, where is it better?"

After hearing this, Nangong Jingnv subconsciously puffed her chest out, and her expression became serious, as if she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

She was praised first, and then Qi Yan asked her to "ask for help". Nangong Jingnv had many masters, but those people respected her, but the masters were full of attitude. Like Qi Yan, it was the one who begged her in turn. No.1.

Aside from the novelty, Nangong Jingnv held back her energy, subconsciously not wanting to "disappoint" this person.

This is a special teaching, and a wonderful sense of trust and responsibility emerges quietly.

Nangong Jingnv pondered for a long time, and Qi Yan said at the right time: "Look, Your Highness, the sunspots on the left are encircling. If Your Highness clicks on the position where I used to be, you can solve the problem of Bai Zi, but you will lose the sunspots on the right." If Heizi seizes the opportunity to make up for the first move, he will fall into the stalemate again."

Nangong Jingnv bit her lip and thought hard for a long time, and made up her mind to play the chess piece, but in the end, this move ruined half of the country where Baizi had the upper hand.
