Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

is the tenderness in guilt

Qi Yan was afraid that Nangong Jingnv would be bored, so she loaded the chessboard on the carriage one day in advance.

At this time, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.The melting snow added some unique charm to the muffled rutting sound, Qi Yan pulled out the chessboard from under the small table: "Would you like to have a talk with your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnu's eyes lit up: "When did you load it into the carriage?"

"When I was packing my bags yesterday, I was afraid that His Highness would find the journey boring, so I specially asked Sister Qiuju to load the carriage."

Nangong Jingnv was a little eager to try. During this period of time, she lived in Princess Zhuohua's mansion. When she had nothing to do, she would play chess with her second sister. After some guidance from her, Nangong Jingnv was full of confidence.

After all, she had an agreement with Qi Yan that every time she wins a game of chess, the opponent will promise herself a request, and this is a great opportunity to show off her skills.

Qi Yan took the white stones and placed four black stones on the four star positions of the chessboard.

Let the fourth son, Qi Yan Zhibai go first.

Nangong Jingnv held a chess piece between her fingertips, staring at the chessboard with all her attention.After Qi Yan landed a white stone on the "small eye" position on her left hand, she immediately "flyed" a stone on her right hand star position to consolidate a corner.

Qi Yan was a little surprised: "Your Highness's chess skills have improved."

In the past, Nangong Jingnv's chess style emphasized a "wrapping words", basically there was no overall situation to speak of.Every time Qi Yan drops a child, Nangong Jingnv will post it immediately, as if she is eager to rob and capture the child.

Qi Yan never entangled with her, and occupied the "golden corner and silver edge" on the chessboard without any trace, and when Nangong Jingnv reacted, only the "grass belly" in the middle was left for her to go, and finally Qi Yan lightly Easily strangled to death.

Nangong Jingnu smiled complacently: "Fox hearted, the second sister has already said that the 'golden horn and silver edge grass belly' this palace occupies four corners at once, as long as it is well consolidated, it will win."

"Oh? That minister will have to wait and see." After speaking, he opened it with one hand...

Nangong Jingnv's carriage was full of warmth, but the carriage in front was another scene.

Nangong Shu was sitting in the carriage, her waist was straight, her face was frosty, and her eyes were not squinting.

The team had set off for more than an hour, and she didn't even look at Lu Zhongxing from the beginning to the end.And when getting on the carriage, Lu Zhongxing deliberately stood on the side of the pedals and raised his hand, but Nangong Shunv passed him by without saying a word, not even touching his fingers.

On New Year's Eve, Lu Zhongxing got drunk and did some extraordinary things.

When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying on Babu's bed with no trace of a thread, and there was no figure of Shunu Nangong beside me, and a piece of red fell on the bed sheet like a plum blossom.

Recalling what happened last night, Lu Zhongxing almost bit off his tongue!

He couldn't forget her tearful and hateful eyes when he galloped on the opponent, and the fuzzy tooth marks on her neck have not completely disappeared until today. How much does Nangong Shunv hate him to bite so hard?

Lu Zhongxing vaguely remembered the cold words that Nangong Shunv uttered with tears at the last moment: Even if I have fulfilled my duty as a wife tonight, if you dare to touch a finger of this palace in this life, you will die with me!

The next day, Lu Zhonghang didn't even dare to call out to the maid who served him, and for the first time in his life, he put on his own clothes.He didn't care about his disheveled clothes and ran out of the bedroom as if fleeing.

Stayed with a friend for a few days, had nowhere to go but returned to Taiwei's Mansion, Lu Quan called him to inquire, and he also falteredly explained: His Highness Zhuohua sympathized with allowing him to return to the mansion for a few days...

But when it came to Shangyuan Festival, Lu Quan still drove Lu Zhongxing out, and said to him: As a royal minister, you must always remember your identity and abide by your duties.

Lu Zhongxing wandered the streets for half a day, and went to Tingyulou to drink alone.But they saw Qi Yan shine in the lantern riddles, and also saw Nangong Jingnv in disguise carefully protecting Qi Yan as she walked off the ring.

The liquor was more bitter in his throat, Lu Zhongxing saw the back of the two leaving hand in hand, and felt for the first time that he was wrong.

If I wasn't so impulsive and got along with Nangong Shunu with a sincere attitude from the beginning, maybe I could be like them...

When I was a child, I was full of Jingnv, but I also remembered that Nangong Shunv had an excellent temperament. When she was a child, she also called her brother Zhongxing.

Why?Why didn't I have a good start with her?

That night, Lu Zhongxing hovered outside Princess Zhuohua's mansion all night, thinking of Nangong Shunv's resolute eyes and words, he finally failed to muster up the courage to go in.

The next day, he bought a private house in the south of the city, lived in it secretly, and did not bite the bullet and return home until last night.

The atmosphere in the carriage was solemn, and Lu Zhongxing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.Several times he wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but was forced back by Nangong Shunv's cold gaze.

Only then did he realize later: the arrogance of Nangong Shunv is three points stronger than that of Jingnv who was born as a descendant...

After struggling for a few times, I finally opened my mouth, but the words turned into: "The carriage is too stuffy, I... I'm going to ride a horse."

Nangong Shunv didn't even blink her eyes, let alone respond.

Lu Zhongxing withdrew his expectant gaze awkwardly, lifted the curtain and sat on the shaft of the car: "Leave a horse."

"Yes."

Until it was confirmed that Lu Zhongxing would not go back and forth, Nangong Shunv's body suddenly went limp.

Yesterday when she heard that Lu Zhongxing had returned home, she stayed up all night, locked the doors and windows, pushed the tables and chairs against the door, and hid a pair of scissors under the pillow.

If Lu Zhongxing dared to trespass, Nangong Shunv was ready to assassinate him or commit suicide.

As an unfavored concubine, she accepted the marriage arranged by her father and even thought about getting along with him.

It's not that she didn't give Lu Zhongxing a chance, it's that the other party did things too dirty and absolutely.

After staying up all night and straining herself for half a day, Nangong Shunv's physical strength had reached its limit. She leaned softly on the carriage, sweating profusely, and she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers.

Thinking of the red lights that would be hung in front of the dormitory door on New Year's Eve every year in the future, Nangong Shunv felt horrified. After that incident, she would feel extremely disgusted when she and Lu Zhonghang shared the same carriage, even if the other party appeared in her sight, she would feel uncomfortable.

"A person's life is really too long..."

A tear fell across the corner of Nangong Shunv's eyes. The saddest thing was: she could not find the hope of living, nor did she have the courage to die resolutely.

On the other side, the chess game has come to an end.

Qi Yan picked up a white piece and dropped it towards one place, when a small white hand suddenly appeared on the chessboard blocking that position.

Qi Yan raised her eyes, and saw Nangong Jingnu's fair cheeks showing a light pink, she pouted: "Don't fall here!"

Qi Yan hooked the corners of her mouth, her eyes were gentle: "Okay." With a twist of her wrist, it landed on another place.

Seeing this, Nangong Jingnv stomped her feet angrily: "Don't fall there either!"

Qi Yan picked up the drop with a smile, and landed at another point.

This time Nangong Jingnv leaned back on the carriage like a deflated ball.

Qi Yan looked at her for a while, then said softly: "Your Highness has made great progress, at least the first thirty ministers can't find any problems. However, the middle game and the finale are still a little lacking. You see, the sunspots are all fragmented. The small pieces cannot be connected into a piece, so that in the end, the sunspots cannot look at each other from the end to the end, and the things cannot look after each other..."

Nangong Jing blocked her ears angrily: "I won't listen, I won't listen! You are a fox, you clearly said last time that letting the fourth son is the limit, you liar!"

Qi Yan smiled brightly, looked at Nangong Jingnv with a slightly doting gaze, and did not answer.

After the other party had vented enough, he took off the hand covering his ear and said leisurely, "Does Your Highness want to win?"

"Naturally! Would you be so kind to let Ben Gong win?"

"The minister has already given up the fourth son. Such a good mobile phone will be given to His Highness, and His Highness will have to fight for the rest."

Nangong Jingnv pouted and asked humbly: "How can I win?"

Qi Yan replied softly: "Let's review the game."

Although Qi Yan remembered every step, she deliberately asked Nangong Jingnv to review the game.She wanted to use this to see if Her Royal Highness really had a photographic memory.

The result was beyond Qi Yan's expectations: Nangong Jingnv actually memorized every move of chess clearly, exactly.

After the first [-] moves, every time Nangong Jingnv landed a sunspot, Qi Yan would stop, point out the shortcomings of Nangong Jingnv's move, and patiently explain the situation and skills to her, and finally let Nangong Jingnv make her own move. The right choice.

After Nangong Jingnv dropped her piece, she would ask how this step is, but Qi Yan smiled without answering, picked up the white piece and went to another position again.

It wasn't until Nangong Jingnv came down to the finale that she realized that she still lost.But this time it was not as bad as the previous round, only losing fifteen pieces.

Nangong Jingnv looked at the chessboard and remained silent. Although she dabbled in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, each subject was like a superficial knowledge.

It wasn't until she also knew a little bit of Go that she realized how profound Qi Yan's chess skills are.

Recalling what Qi Yan said when he first taught her how to play chess, I realized how this person took care of her self-esteem.

It turned out that he had been considerate and tolerant of himself since a long time ago, and he only blamed himself for being too late.

Thinking of all the "willfulness" I have been along the way, my heart is sour.

"Your Highness is tired? Then let's go down tomorrow."

Nangong Jingnv helped Qi Yan tidy up the chessboard, and said softly: "No, I'm not good at chess."

"Your Highness...?"

"It's not interesting to play chess with people of my level. The second sister is very skilled in chess. Let her play with you tomorrow. I will watch from the sidelines."

Qi Yan kept arranging the chess pieces, and was silent for a moment: "According to what Your Highness said."
