They sat there in relative silence for a while. Just when Xu Qingmo was about to leave on the pretext of feeling unwell, Xie Suxian took the lead and said, "Why don't we play chess?"
Before Xu Qingmo could answer, Xie Suxian's attendant took out a warm jade chessboard from nowhere: "Your Highness, use this!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the chessboard in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: "His Royal Highness, you actually take the chessboard with you when you go out?"
"I didn't bring this with me, this was originally given to you!" Xie Suxian said with a smile, "I got such a warm jade chessboard a few days ago, with warm tentacles. It's a good thing. I don't know why. I thought of giving it to you!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the chessboard in front of him, slightly distracted. In his previous life, Xie Suxian also had such a chessboard, but at that time, the chessboard was not given to her.
The chess pieces on the chessboard are of particularly good quality. Xie Suxian liked them very much in his previous life. He often played chess with Xu Qingmo and used this chess piece.
At that time, Xu Qingmo liked this chess piece very much, but now, looking at the white piece in Xie Suxian's hand, she felt like she was the chess piece in his hand, charging into battle for him, but could be abandoned at any time.
He was sad in his heart, but on his face, Xu Qingmo still looked calm and calm: "My chess player is not very good. If you give me such a pair of good chess pieces, wouldn't you let down the good intentions of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xie Suxian smiled: "I don't know why, but when I saw this set of chess, I felt that it was especially suitable for you! Since I said I gave it to you, I naturally refused to take it back, so you can play with me. How about a chess set?"
If you can't push it away, you can only accept it.
While playing chess, Xu Qingmo looked at Xie Suxian's chess moves with a faint look in his eyes, but a faint smile on his lips.
Xie Suxian's chess game has always been like this, very obscure, and his killer move is always hidden behind. If he is not careful, he will stab him in the throat. He knows people by playing chess, and Xie Suxian is just like his chess game, insidious and dangerous. terror!
Xu Qingmo held the black chess piece and fell down one by one.
In her previous life, she and Xie Suxian had already played countless chess games. She lost every time, but never lost more than one piece!
It wasn't that Xu Qingmo couldn't beat him, but that she would deliberately avoid him so that she would neither appear too weak nor make Xie Suxian feel embarrassed. At that time, she would always deliberately avoid him. To maintain Xie Suxian's pride.
But now, Xu Qingmo has no intention of defending Xie Suxian's arrogance.
Every chess piece she dropped cut off Xie Suxian's retreat, forcing him to move forward step by step. After a while, dense beads of sweat broke out on Xie Suxian's forehead.
When Xu Qingmo was thinking about the chess game, Xie Suxian looked at her like this. He saw Xu Qingmo playing with ease, and his "poor chess skills" was obviously a polite comment. If it were anyone else, he would have been embarrassed at this moment, but he For this reason, I became a little more interested in Xu Qingmo.
Just as Xu Qingmo was eating one white piece after another, Xie Suxian was almost certain: "Miss Xu has been hiding her clumsiness all these years. Why is that?"
"Hide my clumsiness?" Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Xie Suxian, "I have never been able to hide my clumsiness. I don't know why His Highness the Crown Prince feels this way?"
"Miss Xu's chess moves are very aggressive and dangerous, but she keeps a low profile in the capital. Isn't this hiding her clumsiness?" Xie Suxian saw that her chess game had no way to go. Putting down the chess piece, "I lost!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the chessboard in front of him and said with a smile: "Your Highness has given in!"
Xie Suxian looked at Xu Qingmo's smile and suddenly felt a little dazzling. He had already tried his best: "I have never given in. You are really good at chess! Why didn't you go to the chess tournament held in the capital a few days ago? "
Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment: "Is there such a thing? I don't know, and no one invited me to go!"
Xie Suxian looked at Xu Qingmo and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Miss Xu is so talented, she should go out more!"
"I often go out, but I rarely go to other people's boudoirs. I don't like to play around with the ladies in the capital, ask questions about wine and poems, and I don't like it even more!" Xu Qingmo picked up the chess pieces one by one, "I would rather I like riding horses in the countryside, it’s much more comfortable!”
Xie Suxian suddenly realized that Xu Qingmo was not really clumsy. It was just that she didn't like to play with others. People in the capital concluded that she was probably not very good at anything. But now, Xie Suxian clearly understood that as for her In terms of chess skills, there should be no one in the capital who is better than her!
"Don't you think it's a pity, Miss Xu?" Xie Suxian asked, "No one else knows about such a good chess skill!"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "It's a pity, no one will know that I am a terrible female worker!"
Xie Suxian was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Miss Xu is sincere!"
Xu Qingmo smiled and said nothing.
Others couldn't tell, but Hua Ying, who was accompanying her, quickly discovered that Xu Qingmo's smile didn't reach her eyes, and it could even be said that there was disgust in her eyes.
While the two were chatting and joking, an uninvited guest suddenly broke into the rain pavilion.
"Why is sister here?" Yan Junuo's voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Qingmo didn't even raise his head: "Why are you here?"
"I was a little bored in the yard, so I came for a walk in the yard!" Yan Junuo said with a smile. When he walked to Xu Qingmo, he pretended to have just seen Xie Suxian, with a panic on his face. , "Wish you well, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
There was no expression on Xie Suxian's face. He just nodded lightly: "Well, no courtesy!"
Yan Junuo stood up, looked down at the chessboard, and said with a smile on his face: "Sister is playing chess with His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"It's finished. Do you want another one?" Xu Qingmo looked up at Yan Junuo and said softly.
"Is that okay?" Yan Junuo was a little surprised.
Xu Qingmo smiled: "Of course!"
The surprise in Yan Junuo's eyes almost overflowed. She came here because she heard that the prince was coming. She originally thought that according to Xu Qingmo's temperament, it would be great to have her by her side, but she didn't expect that she would let herself Playing chess with the prince is really an unexpected pleasure.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't mind if my cousin and His Highness the Crown Prince have another match!" Xu Qingmo looked at Xie Suxian and said softly.
Xie Suxian naturally didn't say anything: "Of course I don't mind!"
Xu Qingmo put the hand holding the chess piece in front of Yan Junuo. She quickly stretched out her hand to catch it. Xu Qingmo's hand let go, and the chess pieces fell into her hand one after another.
