admiration

Feeling the coldness around him, Xiao Zhijin managed to stabilize his hand, Mingshu still had the upper hand in this game, even though Xiao Zhijin was not good at chess, after a few back and forth, he still won.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Emperor Hongzhi saw his flaws sharply, and said with a smile, "It doesn't count just now, how about playing a game with Chi'er?"

"Why don't you forget it, Brother Huang, don't play tricks." Ming Shu was not very happy, and pressed Xiao Zhijin's hand to pack up the chess pieces, not intending to let him continue with Mo Yichi.

He stared at Emperor Hongzhi, but in the end the elder brother was defeated first, and said: "Okay, Li Su, send the Shanxi inkstone to King Xian."

Shanjiao inkstone is the new inkstone of Emperor Hongzhi. It was made by a master craftsman in the previous dynasty. It is carved with beautiful jade. On the inkstone is a lifelike unicorn, which is too beautiful to behold.I don't know where the news of Mingshu came from, and after only two games, he clamored to bet on it. Emperor Hongzhi reluctantly agreed, and then he was willing to continue playing chess.

Emperor Hongzhi pampered his only younger brother when he urinated. Now his temples are white, but his heart has never changed for decades. Eunuch Li is also full of emotions when he sees him.

Ming Shu got the advantage, smiled and let go of his hand, motioned Xiao Zhi to clean up, and said: "Thank you, Brother Huang, what are we betting on in this round?"

Emperor Hongzhi turned his face to look at Mo Yanchi who was hanging his head silently, as if he was saying something very ordinary, "If Xiao Qing wins, I will make Chi'er the crown prince, how about it?"

"Okay." Before Ming Shu could speak, Xiao Zhijin responded in one gulp, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are not joking."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, suddenly lost in his heart.

When Ming Shu proposed the establishment of the crown prince, Emperor Hongzhi made the decision to establish the crown prince. Ming Shu returned to the palace and confirmed Mo Yichi's identity. With this establishment of the crown prince, he would not be criticized in the future. This is undoubtedly an excellent timing.

What made Emperor Hongzhi care about was actually Xiao Zhijin.

Xiao Zhi was only eighteen years old, and he was very ambitious. To be able to get to where he is today, his ability should not be underestimated. For him, getting rid of Mo Yanchi is an easy task, but it is so Such a person is willing to bow down to Mo Yichi and pave the way for him. The friendship among them has to be thought-provoking.

Ming Shu grew up with Emperor Hongzhi since he was a child, and he is better at contemplating the holy will than Eunuch Li. He observed Emperor Hongzhi calmly, closed his eyes, and wondered what he was scheming.

This game of chess determines Mo Yanchi's future path, Xiao Zhi dare not be sloppy, he thinks deeply about every move, and Mo Yanchi is stared at by Emperor Hongzhi, he dare not let the water go, the two of you come to me In the past, the see-saw has not been decided for a long time.

Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi and King Xian were both patient. They kept silent and looked at them nervously, not daring to take a step away from the chessboard.

Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi fell together, which not only touched the hearts of the bystanders, but also made them feel like they were competing.Originally, Xiao Zhi was running for the crown prince, but in the end, he really wanted to win.

He stared at Mo Yanchi, his mind spinning quickly, without any hesitation, he followed after Mo Yanchi's move, and gave Mo Yanchi the time to think.

Ming Shu was greatly surprised. Xiao Zhijin, who clearly won the last game by a narrow margin, suppressed Mo Yichi at this moment, biting his opponent tightly, not daring to let go.

The more Emperor Hongzhi watched, his expression became more and more serious. When Xiao Zhijin dropped his last ball, he slapped the table and stood up, startling the people around him.

"Brother Huang, what's the matter?" Ming Shu asked knowingly.

Emperor Hongzhi blushed and turned pale, the air was stuck in his chest and he couldn't get it out. He took a few deep breaths, left a sentence of "You have no jokes", then flung his sleeves and walked away.

Mo Yanchi looked at Eunuch Li who was hurriedly chasing after him, and asked with some doubts, "What's the matter, Father?"

"Oh." Ming Shu shook his head and sighed.

Based on Xiao Zhijin's words and deeds alone, Emperor Hongzhi didn't dare to make a conclusion, but now that he has this absurd idea, I'm afraid Xiao Zhijin will be more careful in the future.

Ming Shu felt sorry for these two juniors. He was obviously not yet crowned and still at an age that needed protection, but he chose a road that no one dared to accompany and everyone spurned.

Mo Yanchi was at a loss, but Xiao Zhijin came to his senses, his face suddenly turned pale, and he asked with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty found out?"

"I noticed, Xiao Qing, pay more attention in the future, it's not your world yet." Ming Shu said earnestly.

"Well, I see." Xiao Zhijin nodded, except for the uneasiness on his face, there was no trace of impatience.

This is also the reason why Mingshu prefers Xiao Zhijin. He has his own ideas, but at the same time he can listen to other people's ideas.

Ming Shu patted his head, with a sad face, "This king has to go and see the emperor brother, in case the edict comes out tomorrow, the crown prince will be replaced."

"Sir, go slowly." Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi got up, and watched Mingshu leave.

Mo Yanchi was still confused, and asked Xiao Zhijin in a low voice: "What did the father notice?"

"It's about me and you." Xiao knew everything.

"What?" Mo Yanchi was stunned for a moment, "How did you find out?"

Xiao Zhijin shook his head, his expression was normal, he didn't know whether it was happiness or worry.

Emperor Hongzhi and Mingshu both left, Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi did not stay for long, they were afraid of meeting Concubine Jing again, this time they did not let the palace guards take them with them, and did not go to a secluded place, but walked along the front hall. direction to go.

Foreign ministers often come and go here, and it is impossible for the concubine to appear here.

But without Concubine Jing, their way out of the palace was not smooth, and as soon as they turned a corner, they saw Zhu Qiming who was sneering.

The other party heard the conversation between the two early, so he stood there, waiting for them to approach.

Xiao Zhijin frowned, obviously the visitor was not kind.Sure enough, when Zhu Qiming, who had just come out from Concubine Jing's place, saw the two of them, he evoked a mocking smile and said, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to renew his relationship."

"Don't bother Your Highness." Xiao Zhijin said calmly, as if the person in front of him was not in danger at all, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

Zhu Qiming was not surprised by what happened to the two of them. Anyone with a heart to observe carefully would notice something from the clues. It's just that the world is not ashamed to cut off their sleeves, so no one thinks in this direction.

"Mo Yichi is the younger brother of this king, so I naturally have to care about it. Don't marry a male sister-in-law at that time, I'm afraid that my father will kill the nine families of the Xiao family in a fit of anger." Zhu Qiming said.

Hearing this, Mo Yanchi walked over, his eyes were fierce, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but think of the punch he was punched in the palace test, and couldn't help taking a step back.

Fortunately, Mo Yanchi could bear it no longer, walked up to him, and said coldly: "It's still unknown who will be punished, brother Huang, you don't know yet, my father has promised to pass on the position of crown prince to me, when the time comes I rule the world, and no one can stop me even if I make a male queen."

Every word and every word of his pierced into Zhu Qiming's heart fiercely, his usually docile face was ferocious and frightening at the moment, his eyes were sharp, not showing any weakness in the past, Zhu Qiming was in a trance for a while, it seemed that this was the real Mo Yanchi.

Zhu Qiming came to his senses quickly, and with a forced smile, he said, "You are really crazy, not only have your sleeves broken, but you have even suffered from madness."

"Whether it's madness or not, Brother Huang will know soon." Mo Yanchi smiled warmly, but his eyes and voice were very cold.

Zhu Qiming swallowed, and was about to speak, when Mo Yichi suddenly restrained his coldness, stepped back, held Xiao Zhijin's hand without hesitation, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Mo Yichi restrained himself for too long, he almost forgot that he was originally a fearless lion, sleeping for too long, it was time for him to come out to hunt.

It was rare for him to show his aura, which shocked Zhu Qiming for a moment, and he walked away from everyone. Only then did Zhu Qiming regain his senses, turned his head viciously, and clenched his fists.

There was no one on that section of the road just now, Mo Yanchi dared to be so arrogant, after walking for a while, he heard footsteps, and let go of Xiao Zhijin's hand.

The two of them entered the palace like a shadow, and the palace servants were not surprised. After saluting the two of them, they left in a hurry to go about their own affairs.

In the palace, the palace people have to serve the master, the concubines have to win favor, and the emperor has to deal with the affairs of the world. The place that the world longs for is not as comfortable as Wangxiangtai.

Mo Yichi was bowed down by many palace people along the way, and when he walked to the palace gate, he said with a smile: "Now I have benefited from my brother's glory, in the past those people would not even look at me, for fear of causing disaster."

"It's all about being wise and safe." Xiao Zhi patted his head, "How dare they ignore our Highness now, it's too late to flatter you."

Mo Yichi grabbed his hand, scratched his palm with his fingertips, and said very seriously, "Thank you."

Xiao Zhi took a look at him and quickened his pace.

Mo Yanchi didn't realize it for a while, so he hurried to catch up and asked, "What's the matter, is there something urgent?"

"No, I'm afraid I can't help hugging you." Xiao Zhijin gritted his teeth and said, turning his face away from Mo Yanchi.

Mo Yanchi paused, and then laughed loudly, attracting the attention of the guards at the door.

They all looked sideways and saw the always gloomy Second Prince laughing recklessly, and Lord Xiao in front hurried away, as if realizing that Mo Yan hadn't followed, they looked back and waved to him with a smile.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince walked towards Xiao Zhijin while laughing, and when he got close to Xiao Zhijin, he slammed his shoulder into Xiao Zhijin's body, causing Xiao Zhijin to stagger a step. Mr. Xiao was probably worried that the Second Prince would also fall, and he didn't stand still. Reach out to support him.

The two of them were fighting and quarreling and gradually drifting away, a guard said with emotion: "The relationship between the two is really good."

"No, it's the first time I've seen the second prince smile so happily in these few years, and he finally gained some popularity." The guard beside him said in a low voice.

"It's not that Mr. Xiao is great, thanks to him."

Lord Xiao is really powerful, as soon as he got on the carriage, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was silenced, his hands were restrained, and he didn't even have a chance to resist.

Mo Yanchi was hugged tightly by Xiao Zhijin, his cold lips fell on his face, it was numb and itchy, but he was reluctant to leave, so he took the initiative to stick it, his fiery breath spit on Xiao Zhijin's face, as if he murmured: "Brother, itchy."

Xiao Zhijin let go of Mo Yichi's hand, pinched his chin, and lifted it up slightly, his brows and eyes slightly curved, his head lowered and he leaned closer, like kissing and biting, entangled endlessly.
