Tanhualang

The next day, the bean paste cake was made, and Shen Jing served a plate to Xiaoyou.Xiaoyou lay on the bed and took a sip, then nodded repeatedly:

"No wonder the prince loves to eat—hey, why is it so delicious? By the way, did you order someone to send some snacks to the prince?"

"...Not yet." Shen Jing put down the tea bowl, "Little Tong is not here."

"Xiao Tong has something to go out - there is no one to ask for it at this time, Mr. Shen will go there himself?"

Shen Jing couldn't help frowning.

"Is it that difficult?" Xiaoyou couldn't help laughing, "The prince looks serious, but he doesn't put on airs. Mr. Shen is not a servant of the mansion, and the prince treats him differently. You don't have to be so careful all the time."

Shen Jing shook her head: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, etiquette cannot be discarded." The dignitaries and princes are overturned, and the civilians are like grass. If they are not careful, they will be abused at will. How dare they be casual?

"Could it be that you want me, a person who can't get up, to deliver it? Sigh." Xiao You sighed, and looked at Shen Jing helplessly, "Forget it, just put a box and send it to the corner gate. No matter who you see, tell them to give it to Wei Zheng." gone."

Shen Jing took the food box to the corner gate of the main courtyard, thinking that everything would be fine after delivering it, but unexpectedly there was not even a gatekeeper at the corner gate today, he stood there waiting for a long time and saw no one, he was in a dilemma for a long time, Resigned to his fate, he carried the food box into the yard.

Following the way he walked last time, he entered the main courtyard all the way, before reaching the last place, he saw an open pavilion under the eaves of the front porch, with two guards outside, Wei Zheng was sitting opposite Prince Yu, playing chess .

Shen Jing didn't leave the yard easily, except for Xiao You, Wei Zheng and Xiao Tong, she rarely saw anyone else.The guards didn't know him when they saw him, and they didn't come to talk to him.He stood for a moment, hesitating whether to hand over the food box directly to the guards. Wei Zheng accidentally raised his head and saw him, nodded his head, and calmly understood, put the food box in his hand on the stone railing outside the open house, and whispered to the guard road:

"This is the dessert that the prince wants—"

Unexpectedly, when King Yu saw Wei Zheng's movement, he also raised his head and took a look:

"Shopkeeper Shen."

Shen Jing had no choice but to carry the food box again into the Changxuan, and bowed to King Yu:

"It disturbed the prince's Yaxing."

He opened the food box, took out the snacks and put them on the table, but King Yu ignored them, and threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard with a "pata", disrupting the chess game:

"Wei Zheng, get up."

Wei Zheng gave up his seat with a look of amnesty, and King Yu looked up at Shen Jing.Shen Jing originally wanted to say that he couldn't play chess, but hesitated for a while, and King Yu glanced at him again, as if he had read his mind:

"I saw the chess records on Mr. Shen's desk that day. I must be able to."

"..."

Shen Jing had no choice but to put the food box aside, sat down opposite Prince Yu, picked up the sunspot:

"My lord please advise."

Chess is like a person, and he is also cautious on the quiet chessboard, step by step.At first, King Yu played casually, but after more than a dozen chess pieces fell, he couldn't help but look at Shen Jing with admiration, and instead sat upright and concentrated on it.

In less than half an hour, Shen Jing gradually frowned, thinking longer and longer; King Yu's expression gradually relaxed, and he even picked up the snacks on the side plate and ate them while he was sitting down.

After a while, the two were about to decide the winner, and Wei Zheng whispered from the side:

"My lord, Second Young Master Xu is here."

Shen Jing stopped the chess piece in her hand and looked at Prince Yu.King Yu clapped his hands, showing an impatient look:

"Just say I'm not here."

As soon as the words fell, a warm voice was heard, and a young man with a round face walked into the open room with brisk footsteps:

"Ah, brother-in-law! Playing chess!"

According to rumors in the streets and alleys, Xu Zhiyou, the second son of Xu Wen, Minister of Rites, is a snobbish snobby who ignores the death of his own sister and specializes in flattering the King of Yu.

Right now, this snob is sitting next to Shen Jing, filling his mouth with a snack with one hand, and pointing at Shen Jing's chess moves with the other:

"Here, here! Put it here!

"You can't put it there! If you put it there, you will fall into his trap!"

While talking, he sprayed the dessert foam all over the table.

The defeat was almost settled, and Shen Jing's heart was no longer on the chess game, so he randomly placed the chess pieces according to Xu Zhiyou's instructions, while watching Yu Wang's face getting darker and darker, thinking secretly in his heart that he should find a chess player later. What excuses to get out, beware of suffering from the disaster.Before he could come up with an excuse, Xu Zhiyou yelled at Shen Jing again:

"No, no, no! You can't go like this! This place should be robbed!"

The snack scum in his mouth spurted Shen Jing's head.

It was not easy for Shen Jing to express her dislike, so she had to turn her face slightly away.Seeing this scene, King Yu angrily threw the chess piece in his hand into the box:

"No more."

Xu Zhiyou still refused to give up, spouting snack foam and shouting:

"Hey brother-in-law, why are you like this, the winner hasn't been decided yet!"

Shen Jing seemed to be granted amnesty, and wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye to King Yu, but just as he stood up to speak, King Yu turned to Xu Zhiyou, rubbed his hands and asked:

"What are you doing here? Didn't you go to school to study?"

Xu Zhiyou happily said:

"Or I'm lucky. Just after two days of school, the master caught a cold and gave us a holiday--I heard from the elder brother that you made the emperor angry two days ago, and even made Xiaoyou get beaten. Didn't I want to come over to see you and relieve you of your troubles? It's a good day, brother-in-law, shall I go out riding with you?"

Before King Yu could answer, he smiled and turned to Shen Jing, looking up and down:

"I forgot to ask just now, which family is this son from? It looks a bit strange-it's better to come early than coincidental. We just happened to go riding together?"

"This is Mr. Shen. Xiaoyou invited me to see a doctor."

"Oh, let me tell you, if I've seen it before, I shouldn't forget it—brother-in-law, let's go ride a horse? I'm so suffocated at home these days!"

"Don't go."

Xu Zhiyou stuffed the last piece of bean cake into his mouth, and stared at Prince Yu with round eyes:

"Why don't you go? Are you still bothered?"

"..."

Xu Zhiyou half-raised his eyes to look at King Yu, and muttered softly:

"... If you want me to say that what the emperor said is right. It's time for you to continue, isn't it a—"

King Yu put the tea bowl on the table with a "bang":

"Why can't you keep your mouth shut when you eat?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Shen Jing stood next to Wei Zheng, not daring to vent his breath, deeply regretted that he hadn't left just now, now he heard something he shouldn't have heard, and couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

I thought that Second Young Master Xu would be able to calm down after being reprimanded, but after a while, he swallowed his mouth full of snacks, gurgled down a bowl of tea, and dared to open his mouth again:

"...Okay, okay, if you don't like to listen to me, I won't say anything. Why are you angry?—Let's go out and ride a horse. Don't you like to ride a horse? After a while, you will lose all your anger."

"..."

"Hey, the dim sum is gone? Wei Zheng, do you still have the dim sum just now? It's quite delicious, can you bring me another plate?"

With a dark face, King Yu glared at him again:

"Give your mouth a rest. I'm tired of it."

"If you don't eat, don't eat. Then brother-in-law, let's go horseback riding? I've been really suffocated for a while!"

"..."

"Brother-in-law! Please! It's been a long time since I rode a horse!"

Shen Jing watched as King Yu stood up suddenly with a long face. Just when he thought that King Yu was going to attack the Second Young Master Xu, Prince Yu let out a long sigh, and strode out of Changxuan:

"Wei Zheng, prepare your horse!"

Xu Ergong jumped up and followed happily:

"Wei Zheng! Wei Zheng! Don't forget to take that purple monkey with you!"

After walking a few steps, King Yu stopped on the corridor, turned around and looked at Shen Jing:

"Shopkeeper Shen, do you want to go with me?"

Shen Jing declined:

"Little butler is still waiting."

King Yu nodded:

"That's hard work for you."

Xu Ergong shouted happily while running outside:

"It will be too late, Mr. Shen told Xiaoyou, I will go to see him later!"

Shen Jing returned to the courtyard full of surprise.

Xiao You had already laid out the dishes on the kang table, waiting for Shen Jing to have lunch, and when Shen Jing told what he had seen and heard, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"Mr. Shen, don't be surprised. You'll know when you see more in the future. The prince's brother-in-law is really a character. Even the emperor dared not say more to the prince, he dared to say it, and he didn't have anything to hide. Fortunately, The lord treats him like a child and doesn't care too much, he would have beaten him to death countless times if he had to be replaced."

He said with a sigh:

"Your majesty can't bear to make things difficult for the prince. In fact, I think this uncle can persuade the prince. The princess has been away for two or three years, and the good times are always delayed. What's the matter?"
