Xie Zhe was stunned for a moment, then he was angry but also thought it was funny: "With his mouth, he has no money, so he said that the official lacks happiness."

The concierge glanced at his lord's expression, his expression was unprecedentedly weird, and he said hesitantly: "He also said...that if the lord laughed when he heard it, then you'll be merciful and see him, okay? They all said that the commander not only He is good at chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is one of the most handsome men in the capital, Caiqing especially admires him, I want to see you and feast my eyes on you, so that I can praise you everywhere when I go out'."

Xiao Yun was taken aback, then laughed out loud.

Even if these words came from the mouth of the burly porter, Xiao Yun could still hear a taste of being a rascal because of his young age, and subconsciously appeared in his mind that the man was pulling Xie Zhe's sleeve contrary to his reserved appearance, inexplicably a joy.

He is smart, he only praises people's romanticism and talent, and doesn't mention power and status at all.

Xie Zhe was completely silent after hearing this sentence, his face was ashamed, and he lowered his head and muttered.

No one has ever dared to talk to him like this before, and everyone is always trembling like walking on thin ice.

He is fine.

Seeing Xie Zhe's daughter-in-law's twisted look, Xiao Yun laughed and said, "See you as soon as you want, come and let me make room for him, and let me hear how he makes the commander happy."

He asked the eunuch to hold the memorial, got up and strode towards the inner room by himself.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Zhe shouted, "This is impossible!"

He was anxious and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the emperor made a move, what kind of words did that sound like.

"He's here to see you, not to see me. There's nothing he can't do. I'll review the memorial inside, and he'll come out after he's gone. Don't make a sound. If he teases you like this, won't you go back? Tangtang Can the Commander still be underestimated by a little thing?"

This is already the emperor's order, Xie Zhe sat on the chair uncomfortably, struggled for a while, felt like a mother-in-law, and gritted his teeth: "Tell him to come in."

The eunuch gently lowered the bead curtain in the inner room.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xie Zhe secretly looked at the bronze mirror and straightened his hair and robe.

……

More and more people surrounded the Commander's Mansion from a distance, whispering, and many girls came here admiringly, sighing quietly for Xie Caiqing.

Ruya held back her anger, and said in a low voice: "Young master, let's go back..."

"Wait a little longer." Jiang Huaichu interrupted him.

He didn't seem to be able to hear the occasional joke or two around him, and stood there calmly, without changing his expression.

Only Ruya, who was beside him, knew how much pressure it was to be stared at by so many people to persist in something that might fail.

The little prince was just calm and indifferent.

The vermilion lacquer gate opened a crack from the inside.

The rustling voices around suddenly became louder: "I said he insisted that his eyes be higher than the top—"

Unexpectedly, this time it was not the porter who got out of the door alone, but two servants who struggled to open half of the door.

The door of the entire Xie Mansion was opened for Xie Caiqing.

The concierge rushed up to greet him, and led the way respectfully: "Young master, this way please."

There was a sudden silence behind him.

……

Jiang Huaichu was led into the house, and he glanced around calmly, not surprised that he didn't see Xiao Yun.

He came here for Xie Zhe today.

Xie Zhe was willing to see him, Xiao Yun should have left first.

Xie Zheduan was sitting at the chess table with a handsome and clear appearance. Jiang Huaichu suddenly saw it and was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person's charisma and charm were a little bit like his brother's, and his expression softened and relaxed unconsciously.

Xie Zhean raised the corner of his mouth and coughed.

Only then did Jiang Huaichu realize that he was staring at his face, and he was impolite in secret, and immediately looked away, just pretending that the episode never happened, and simply exchanged greetings with him.

Xie Zhe was slightly surprised. In his impression, Xie Caiqing was articulate and smooth-talking, but the person in front of him was as calm as water, with a decent smile on his lips, and he couldn't find any mistakes in his words and deeds.

A man, his appearance is too stunning, even from a distance, let alone close up, his face can withstand any angle of scrutiny, it is natural, the whole person is as finely crafted as a meticulous painting, his eyebrows, eyes and temperament are exquisite. Like a landscape painting full of artistic conception, when he is not talking, he is warm and cold, contradictory, and even has a little obedience unique to this age, making people like him unconsciously when he looks at him, and he can't be cold or hard on him.

Inexplicably, Xie Zhe thought of King Qi who had broken his sleeves and became addicted. If he saw this, he would probably be able to hold it on his lap and treat him like a baby. He said what he should do, and he didn't even need to ask him to come to his house.

He was ashamed of the thought, and coughed dryly to cover up Jiang Huaichu's puzzled eyes.

Jiang Huaichu looked at the chess game and said, "Did you play chess with others before?"

Xie Zhe was slightly surprised: "Why can't the official alone go down to both sides?"

Jiang Huaichu said with a smile: "The left side should be an adult, steady and dynamic, flexible and changeable, subduing rigidity with softness, all-encompassing."

Xie Zhe looked at him with admiration: "You still know how to play chess?"

"Know a thing or two."

"That's a modest statement," Xie Zhe paused for a moment, and asked tentatively, "What about the right side?"

Inside, Xiao Yun's hand holding the memorial paused.

Jiang Huaichu said: "I said I was afraid I would offend him."

"No problem," Xie Zhe glanced behind the bead curtain calmly, "Just tell me."

Jiang Huaichu frowned: "The person on the right plays chess without the shadow of a chess record. He forms his own family as he pleases. He is murderous and decisive without regret. He has thousands of troops in his heart. I am afraid that fighting on the battlefield is more suitable for him. He is sure in his heart that playing chess is a romantic thing. I don't think it's interesting, and I want to disturb the adult's elegant mood for no reason."

Xie Zhe coughed inexplicably.

Inside, Xiao Yun showed a smile that was not a smile.

Xie Zhe turned his back to Jiang Huaichu, fiddling with the vase on the shelf, a smile flickered on the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "Then do you like my chess style, or... like him?"

Xiao Yun was startled, and held back his laughter, Xie Zhe was a bastard, saying that molesting really spared no effort to dig a hole for Xie Caiqing.

Jiang Huaichu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked around quietly again, his eyes fell on the bead curtain covering the inner room, he paused briefly, and then said nonchalantly, "Don't dare to lie, Cai Qing likes him."

His voice is elegant, with the sound of pearls and jade.

The memorial in Xiao Yun's hand almost fell to the ground.

Xie Zhe guessed that he just flattered and said "I like myself" so as to offend the emperor, or else he was smart enough to use Tai Chi to skip this topic, but he didn't expect him to say that he likes the emperor in front of him.

He was very surprised, turned around, and made a cold face on purpose: "Why? Didn't you just say that he played chess unintentionally and disturbed my elegance? Or do you think I'm not as good as him?"

He sneered suddenly: "I don't like this official, so why did you come to my door? It's unnecessary!"

"Your Excellency, calm down, Caiqing has no such intention," Jiang Huaichu said sincerely, "It's just that people are always easily attracted to people who are completely opposite to their temperament, and adults and him clearly dislike each other and still play chess together. Therefore, Cai Qing and Your Excellency have temperaments Similarly, it is definitely the most compatible with adults, but it is easy to yearn for people like him."

Xie Zhe: "..."

Dislike each other, and only he dared to say it.

Thinking that the person is still behind, these words are really offensive, he saluted his respect and said: "I don't despise him."

"Yes," Jiang Huaichu hesitated for a while, but said sincerely, "I'm afraid he said it outright, but you don't say it out loud, but say it secretly in your heart."

Xie Zhe: "..." At this moment, he suddenly spoke out.

"..." Xiao Yun held back his laughter from behind, feeling uncomfortable.

Obviously Xie Zhe dug a hole for Xie Caiqing, but Xie Caiqing didn't know what was going on, but instead dug a big hole for Xie Zhe.

Xie Zhe wanted to quickly put this topic to rest, and said calmly: "Since you are proficient in chess, let's play the next game with me."

Jiang Huaichu agreed, and the two sat down.

Xiao Yun heard that there was no movement outside, and began to critique the memorial. He glanced at ten lines, and threw aside those who were not allowed, and Yun's words were flying around, so the speed was extremely fast.

After he finished approving, there was still only the slight "click" sound of chess pieces falling on the board.

They played chess without talking, and they didn't panic.

Listening to the speed of the falling, the two of them were really in the same place, presumably it was Xie Zhe who had been pondering for a long time, and Xie Caiqing who had been pondering for a long time, maybe they could still look at each other and smile, it was so disharmonious.

Xiao Yun thought to himself that he really wanted to find a chess friend for Xie Zhe.

To be able to play for so long, Xie Caiqing's chess skills are only stronger than Xie Zhe's, after all, Xie Caiqing has to secretly give in to Xie Zhe to save face.

I don't know how Xie Caiqing compares to him.

This thought just passed by, Xiao Yun couldn't stay idle, he had nothing to do, and it was hard to go out, after thinking about it, he had to cough.

Xie Caiqing looked slightly puzzled.

"..." Xie Zhe, who was hesitant in front of him, suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Xie Caiqing hurriedly offered condolences.

Xie Zhe pretended to be natural and said, "It's okay, I'm choking."

"It's getting late, you should go back first."

His attitude towards Xie Caiqing was much more cordial.

Perhaps with His Majesty's "dross" in front, compared to him, Xie Caiqing is like God sent him to play chess with him to relieve boredom. He is slow-tempered, can sit still, has a steady mind, and is as good at chess as he is.

Not to mention the beautiful words, just sitting across from him is unspeakably seductive. He was so happy, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do you want?"

Xie Caiqing: "I beg your lord to fix the piano for me."

"..." Xie Zhe choked, and took a deep look at him, "Is there anything else?"

"Have."

Xie Zhe looked slightly pale, waiting for him to say the following.

Xie Caiqing smiled slightly: "Could Caiqing come over and play chess with you in the future to relieve boredom?"

Xie Zhe was stunned, knowing what he was up to, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"My lord's surname is Xie, and Caiqing is also surnamed Xie. It's a great fate. If your lord doesn't say anything, Caiqing will treat you as your lord."

Xie Zhe still didn't speak.

Xie Caiqing pulled down his sleeve.

"How dignified you are! You are so presumptuous!" Xie Zhe was shocked, and wanted to pull out his sleeve angrily.

Xie Caiqing didn't respond, but pulled again.

"..." Xie Zhe glanced at him, and seeing the man's face that he couldn't bear to refuse, he thought to himself, "I'll talk about it later, let me go!"

Xie Caiqing also didn't want to make an inch, and let go of her obedience.He used to coax his imperial brother like this, and he is really familiar with it.

After Xie Caiqing left, Xiao Yun lifted the curtain and came out, casually said, "What did he say?"

"Didn't Your Majesty hear that?" Xie Zhe regained his composure and reported every sentence respectfully.

Xiao Yun sat on the side, playing with the new waist pendant and listening.

"Say that sentence louder, I didn't hear clearly."

Xie Zhe spoke a little louder.

"That sentence was too fast."

Xie Zhe was taken aback, and repeated it again.

after awhile.

"Stop, stop, stop, one sentence is missing here." Xiao Yun said.

"..." The corners of Xie Zhe's mouth twitched, and he said calmly, "He said he likes you and yearns for you! Likes! Yearns for you! Didn't your majesty hear everything and want to repeat it?"

Xiao Yun smiled lazily: "Is there anyone who will get tired of flattery?"

"..." Xie Zhe said, "Your Majesty likes to hear good things from him and transfer him to the Imperial Academy? Let him talk in your ear every day."

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows, as if he really had a strong interest in his proposal.

Xie Zhe said: "He is smart, but he never mentioned that he wanted to be the number one scholar. He came here at this time, didn't he just want to win the Qi and Zhang family."

Xiao Yun stared at him for a while, with a faint smile: "He didn't mention it to you, but you mentioned it to me. Why, the commander is very happy to be coaxed by him, and he likes him very much?"

Xie Zhe thought in his heart that he really couldn't hide any thoughts from His Majesty, so he choked: "Your Majesty is in charge of everything!"

Xiao Yun didn't say anything else, he asked the eunuch to carry the memorial and was about to get up and drive back to the palace, he walked a few steps, as if thinking of something, he turned around and asked, "Has he worn my piece of jade?"

Xie Zhe was stunned for a moment, and began to think about Xie Caiqing's waist, only then remembered that he was wearing a jade tassel today, and dared not lie: "No."

Xiao Yun's cheerful expression suddenly disappeared, he glanced at Xie Zhe who was absent-mindedly thinking of Xie Caiqing, snorted almost silently, turned his head and left.
