Just like this round, it was already night at the end, I simply finished my meal and lay down on the bed early.

However, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and I really lost sleep after I left home.

Thinking about the uncertain life in the future, I feel uneasy.

After getting up and washing up, I used the rouge powder and eyebrow pencil on the dowry to polish my face carefully. The clean and flawless face had turned into a dark yellow complexion and freckles.

After going out yesterday, I also made a simple modification, but it is not as detailed as today.

I am very satisfied with my makeup. It is neither too disgusting nor easy for people to see my previous appearance. If this appearance is in the crowd, it will definitely not be remembered.

So I finally went out with confidence.

I didn't take a closer look when I came here yesterday, but now I see how big the palace is.Only one of them, Chenghui Hall, took me two hours to finish.I saw that the palaces and pavilions are well arranged, and the mandarin ducks are playing in the water, which is very cheerful.Finally, when I came to Bibo Pavilion, I saw that many people were already there.

Since there was no way to avoid it, I walked towards them slowly, and said with a smile, "Brothers, I thank Lingxi for being polite."

The few people sitting in the middle of the pavilion turned their heads and responded with a smile, "Brother Xie said nothing, they are all under the eaves, why bother to see outside."

"That's right, it's rare for brother Ling Xi to come out. Yesterday our brothers were also here to watch the scenery and have fun, but brother Ling Xi was the only one left."

"It's wonderful, brother Ling Xi, please."

Several people talked to each other, it was really lively, I exchanged a few words with them and chose a place with a good view to sit down.

The ones talking to me just now are Wang Qianliang, Mo Tengbo, Ning Xiang and others, all of whom are from Gyeonggi.

After all, male concubines are different from female concubines. Even though there are many rules in the palace, they will not stay in the boudoir all the time, and they can't help yearning for freedom.If you meet someone who is like-minded, you will get acquainted quickly, chatting and laughing, how can you put this small world in your eyes?

It's just that this is the case for the selection of servants now, and everyone's status will vary from now on. Whether they can still be as casual and unrestrained as they are today is another matter.

But these have nothing to do with me.

I just want to spend my days silently in this palace, not to contend with the world.

There are several people outside the gazebo, one is dancing with a sword, and there is a matching person beside him.Not far away is a piano player, and there are a few more by the lake.Looking at those figures, they are really beautiful.Some are lively and smart, some are calm and introverted, some are gorgeous and coquettish, some are light and elegant, and some are mighty and majestic... They have different postures, but they are all descendants of aristocratic families with outstanding demeanor.

After sitting in the gazebo for a while I decided to go back.I don't like crowds, and I seldom move around. In the palace, I always remind myself to keep a low profile, don't get involved in right and wrong, it's better to rest earlier.

Walking slowly along the lake, I saw a person playing chess intently, holding a white piece in his hand for a long time.I am not far away and can see the whole chess game clearly.

I don't like to eat, drink, and dress up. I think I have no desires, but I am very interested in playing chess and books. Now I see someone playing alone, I can't help being interested, and I am full of praise, it is really wonderful!

Heizi has already approached the city with great momentum, surrounded Baizi, and is only one step away from hitting the yellow dragon, and no matter which step Baizi takes, his life will be lost.Looking at the whole chess game is also intricate, no wonder there are no players, so the opponent can be met but not sought.

Seeing this exquisite chess game, he couldn't help but walked forward and sat down slowly, "Brother, can you let me make a move?"

The person on the opposite side was concentrating on thinking, didn't look at me, just nodded.

I put Baizi in one place and wait for him to deal with it.

He looked at my position and shook his head as if disapproving.I was secretly happy, waiting for him to continue.

Sure enough, the white piece I played, including several guardian pieces around it, was eaten.But in this way, the other vital, immovable Baizi finally came alive, and quickly broke out of the encirclement, becoming a new force.

He looked at the reversed chessboard in surprise and gave him an approving look.

What caught my eyes was a pair of deep eyes like ink, what kind of stunning demeanor was that?There was a faint smile on the delicate facial features, as if a gentle sunshine was shining into the heart, and people couldn't help but respond.

He looked at me with a look of doubt in his eyes.I'm probably guessing that it's unbelievable that I can pass the re-examination with this appearance.

After playing for a while, it was still hard to tell the winner.It wasn't until almost noon that he stretched his eyebrows and looked at me with a smile, "I'm Cui Minglang."

Cui Minglang?My father mentioned this name many times, and he often compared him with us as an encouragement.

I raised my eyebrows, and blurted out unconsciously, "I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu. I was able to write poetry at the age of six, write it at the age of eight, read it with the prince at the age of ten, and won the gold medal at the age of 16..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a low laugh from the person opposite, "I'm not famous, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

I also smiled, "Whether it's a false name or a real talent, I will be impressed when I see you today."

Cui Minglang is indeed a rare talent. I once wanted to make friends with him, but unfortunately my fate was wasted.Now they have become male concubines together in this harem.

Really fun.

He stopped laughing and stood up, "Since that's the case, can you tell me your name, brother?"

It was only then that he suddenly remembered that he had lost his manners, "I thank Lingxi."

"Lingyun is in the sky, Xixi Yangchun, brother Taiwan has a good name." When he looked at me again, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, "I heard that Xie Linghao, the eldest son of Xie Kang from Zhongshushe, is very talented, and the second son Xie Linghong is suave. I never thought of the third Zi also has such a profound chess skill, which is admirable."

I looked at him in surprise, my heart was shocked by his understanding of our Xie family, and said hastily, "I'm just a chess idiot, brother Minglang praised me."

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, he walked a few steps and whispered in my ear, "I'll discuss with you another day, how about it?"

I was overjoyed, I was delighted that I found someone to play chess so quickly, and Cui Minglang is outstanding, and the Cui family is a famous family, there are absolutely advantages and no disadvantages in my friendship with Cui Minglang, I hurriedly nodded and said : "Brother Minglang, don't break your word."

But seeing him staring at my face for a while, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, I was still a little nervous, so I exchanged a few greetings, then took my leave and left.

After going back, I slightly changed my appearance after makeup to try to be natural.Cui Minglang may have noticed something today, but he should be careful when talking with people in the future, and keep his head up as little as possible.
