The Favorite of the Court of Joy

Bored and bored, Zhang Xiaoqian wandered around the palace again and came back to the main courtyard to see Zhao Minghan making tea and playing chess in the courtyard.

Zhang Xiaoqian walked over to watch, Zhao Minghan asked while playing chess pieces, "Can you play?"

"will not."

Zhao Minghan took back the surrounded chess pieces, and said, "No, you still look at it."

"Cut, can't I join in the fun? You didn't write a sign saying that people who don't know how to play chess should not watch it."

Zhao Minghan smiled, there was really no way to refute this.He went on to say: "It's strange, you are the signature darling of Xunhuan Pavilion, don't you old bustards all teach some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? You can play chess, at least you know a little bit."

Zhang Xiaoqian said in his heart: If it is a real Qianhong, maybe he is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; but Lao Tzu is Zhang Xiaoqian, and he is not good at everything.

"Hey, those are just gimmicks." Zhang Xiaoqian quoted a famous quote from Qian Songyi. "Just be pretty."

Zhang Xiaoqian went on to say: "Wuluan is a world where people look at their faces, and good looks are the most sought after. Some of the young masters who came to Xunhuan Pavilion really know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are not just for one." "That's right. I just waved my hands and posed a few times, and they were willingly hooked up by me." Zhang Xiaoqian was talking, and he was still playing with the provocative poses of the models for the cover photo.He stayed in the Xunhuan Pavilion for less than ten days, and he really never made a gesture of coquettishness to anyone. He said this just imagining the situation when the darlings entertained guests.Not all brothel women in TV dramas solicit customers like this.

Zhao Minghan looked at his provocative posture with a very displeased face, dropped the chess piece, pulled him into his arms, and sat him on his lap.

Zhang Xiaoqian struggled, and said: "Let go, in public, with so many people watching, you don't know how to be ashamed."

"This lord can't compare to Qianhonghuakui who is shameless and shows off in front of so many people. This lord will punish you well." After speaking, he pinched the back of Zhang Xiaoqian's head, kissed his lips fiercely, and slowly This lip became gentle, making Zhang Xiaoqian take the initiative to participate in it.

The maids and servants who were waiting around all secretly bowed their heads sideways, not daring to spoil the good deeds of the masters.

At the end of the kiss, Zhang Xiaoqian found that his thoughts had been led astray again, so he broke free from his embrace and jumped out.

"Let me tell you something." Zhang Xiaoqian smiled brightly again, and said, "I just went to see a yard called Yimeiyuan. It's very elegant and quiet. I like it there. I'm going to move there to live." Compared with the main courtyard, the plum garden is relatively remote, and there are few people passing by. The most important thing is that it is close. The back door on the west side is basically closed, so the guards are always lazy. It fit his requirements very well.

"Why did you suddenly fall in love with Yimeiyuan?"

Zhang Xiaoqian laughed dryly a few times, and said, "Didn't I just say it, it's quiet and elegant there. The important thing is that there are many plum trees growing there. Seeing that winter is coming, the yard will be full of plum blossoms and their fragrance. The Plum Garden must be the best place to enjoy plum blossoms, I can't let others snatch such a good location."

Zhao Minghan smiled and nodded, and promised Zhang Xiaoqian to move into Yimeiyuan.He didn't tell Zhang Xiaoqian that there is also a plum garden in the palace, which only grows trees and is not populated by people. There are many varieties of plum blossoms planted there, which were planted by his father and emperor for his mother and concubine.

"You agreed? That's great." Zhang Xiaoqian cheered happily. "Come on, let's play chess.

"Play chess? Didn't you say you can't play chess?"

"Yeah, I don't know how to play Go, but I didn't say I want to play Go, I want to play backgammon."

"Gobang? What kind of chess?" Zhao Minghan was puzzled, this was the first time he heard of such a chess.In fact, Zhao Minghan doubted Zhang Xiaoqian's true identity more than once. Is he really just a darling who simply escaped from Xunhuan Pavilion?A lot of behavior is outrageous.

"Hee hee~~" Zhang Xiaoqian looked proud, raised his head, and taught on the spot, "This is a kind of intellectual board game in our hometown. Both sides use black and white chess pieces, and play them at the intersection of the straight and horizontal lines on the board. On the top, the first to form a 5-piece connection wins. This connection does not have to be a horizontal line, it can be vertical or oblique, as long as it can connect the city with a line."

"It doesn't sound very difficult."

Zhang Xiaoqian smiled evilly and said: "Then let's start, I will start with the black pieces first." Zhang Xiaoqian thought to himself, he has played backgammon for many years anyway, it is more than enough to deal with a novice.

Although Zhao Minghan understood what Zhang Xiaoqian said, he still didn't know how to play the game, so he put the chess pieces wherever Zhang Xiaoqian put them, and gradually figured out how to play the game.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqian was about to form a line, Zhao Minghan didn't just count on intercepting, he wanted to see him happy after winning.

Zhao Minghan put the chess pieces elsewhere.Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaoqian saw that Zhao Minghan didn't realize that he was about to succeed, the corners of Zhang Xiaoqian's mouth had already started to rise slightly. In order to prevent Zhao Minghan from going back on his word, he said excitedly, "Do you know that you don't regret a game?"

"Is this king the kind of person who will regret chess?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqian finally released the pent-up laughter loudly, "Hahahaha, I won, hahaha." Zhang Xiaoqian danced happily.

Zhao Minghan just watched his personal "performance" quietly.

"Another round?"

"Okay." Zhang Xiaoqian was excited, and he definitely wanted to play, and vowed to beat Zhao Minghan to the ground and defeat him.

This time, Zhang Xiaoqian won't win so easily.Zhao Minghan controlled the whole chess game and rhythm, not letting himself win or Zhang Xiaoqian winning.In the end, both of the chess pieces were played and there was no winner or loser.

"You're good at learning. They blocked my way one by one." Zhang Xiaoqian said this not as a compliment, but suppressed his anger.

Zhao Minghan waved his fan and replied with a smile: "It's all because of your good teaching."

"Don't be too complacent, if you play another round, you may still be able to draw with me."

"Then let's play again."

So, they launched the third game.Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Zhao Minghan to form a straight line and win, but Zhang Xiaoqian was so angry that he clenched his fists.

Zhang Xiaoqian told himself and the other party, saying: "I was careless in this game, you have to be more careful in the next game."

"Oh, it seems that the little servant is about to amplify his moves, and I have to be careful."

Zhang Xiaoqian really wanted to slap Zhao Minghan's proud face. "Stop talking nonsense and settle down quickly."

But Zhao Minghan played this game slowly, seeing that the chess piece was about to fall, he took it back and put it elsewhere, blocking Zhang Xiaoqian's way out several times.

Zhang Xiaoqian, who was retreating steadily, was so annoyed that he yelled: "If you want to go down, just go down, just do it, don't be so moaning, are you old men?"

"This king is a novice, shouldn't you be more magnanimous?" Zhao Minghan smiled the whole time, and then said: "The most taboo thing in chess is impatience. Only by calming down can you find a way out."

Where Zhang Xiaoqian can calm down, the roads are blocked, but Zhao Minghan has several roads to go.

In the end, as expected, Zhao Minghan won.

Zhao Minghan's unrestrained complacency pierced Zhang Xiaoqian's eyes red, he gritted his teeth and said, "Again! Come on!"

"Accompany."

In this way, the two played backgammon, one game after another.But the result is the same, Zhang Xiaoqian ended in failure.Zhang Xiaoqian was so angry that he almost flipped the table.

"Again! Come!"

"Forget it, it's getting dark, aren't you hungry?"

"Not hungry!" The more impatient the person is, the louder the voice will be.

"We agreed on the best round. You are not hungry, but this king is still hungry."

Zhao Minghan looked at his eyes that were red with anger, and couldn't bear to bully him any more. In the last round, Zhang Xiaoqian let Zhang Xiaoqian win.

At that moment, Zhang Xiaoqian clapped his hands happily, then couldn't help running over to hug Zhao Minghan, muttering excitedly: "Oye, I won, I won."

"Okay, okay, you won, are you happy? Can you go to dinner?"

Zhang Xiaoqian nodded and said, "I'm starving to death after eating."

After winning the game, Zhang Xiaoqian happily took Zhao Minghan's hand and walked into the house.Zhao Minghan was also happy to let him hold him like this.Maybe he himself didn't realize that he was a little more patient with Zhang Xiaoqian.

After dinner.

Zhao Minghan said: "Don't you want some accessories to decorate yourself? My king brought some."

Zhang Xiaoqian smiled brightly, his eyes were shining, and said, "Where is it, show it to me quickly."

The maids put all their things on the seats, closed the door tightly and waited outside.

Zhang Xiaoqian happily walked over to take a look, her face drooping, "What, why are they all women's gold and silver jewelry? If I were a man's accessories, such as a hosta for hair, a belt inlaid with gems, and a jade pendant worn around the waist , a forehead embellished with pearls, etc.”

"Oh~~ you don't have what you want!" Zhao Minghan said, "That's all, you don't have to."

Zhang Xiaoqian was at a loss for words, he knew that Zhao Minghan did it on purpose, but the things in front of him were real gold and silver treasures, each of them seemed to be shining brightly, and if they were pawned at the pawnshop, they would definitely be able to exchange for a large sum of money.

Zhang Xiaoqian sat down on the chair angrily, and said: "Yes, you have brought it all, I'm not a fool, why don't I."

Zhao Minghan smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Come on, I will dress you up." Then, Zhao Minghan was about to untie Zhang Xiaoqian's clothes, Zhang Xiaoqian pushed his hands away and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Change your clothes."

It's not that Zhang Xiaoqian didn't see the woman's dress in bright red on the table, it's gorgeous and light.

"It's women's clothes."

Regardless of his wishes, Zhao Minghan pulled him over and continued to undo his clothes. "My king asked someone to prepare it. Of course I know that it is life clothes."

Zhang Xiaoqian's voice was an octave higher, and asked: "You still let me wear it if you know?" Zhang Xiaoqian looked at Zhao Minghan slantingly, thinking about Zhao Minghan's intentions.
