Xu Qingmo's action of throwing the chess piece was like giving alms, but Yan Junuo accepted it willingly.
Xu Qingmo stood up and moved out of the way: "His Royal Highness, you are having fun, but I am a little unwell, so please go back and rest first!"
Xie Suxian wanted to speak to persuade him to stay, but was interrupted by Yan Junuo: "His Royal Highness, go first..."
Xie Suxian couldn't say anything else and could only nod: "Okay, listen to the doctor and have a good rest!"
Xu Qingmo smiled, turned and left without answering.
Yan Junuo was smiling broadly in front of him, but Xie Su Xian's eyes slowly followed Xu Qingmo away.
Yan Junuo noticed Xie Suxian's gaze and felt disappointed for a moment. Then he smiled again and said softly: "This chess piece is gentle, it must be made of the best jade!"
"I got it casually, I don't know if it's good or not!" Xie Suxian said lightly, his eyes full of perfunctory.
A few years ago, the queen had already been planning for the prince to marry a wife, but because Xie Suxian never nodded, as the successor queen, she could not force her, so she let him keep dragging her.
As soon as the prince was not married, a woman would come forward to seduce him. However, he had been raised in a deep palace since he was a child, and he had already seen through the behavior of women.
The Yan Junuo in front of her was clearly trying to please herself. Xie Suxian didn't like it, but she didn't want to offend the Yan family behind her, so she dealt with it.
Yan Junuo's chess game was really not very good. Compared to Xu Qingmo's sharpness, her chess skills were much more jerky. She had almost no chance of winning against Xie Suxian.
Everyone likes to win, but even if you win against someone who is not on the same level, it is quite boring.
So after two sets, Xie Suxian was a little uninterested: "It's getting late, I should go back!"
Yan Junuo raised his head, his eyes full of reluctance: "Your Highness is going back now?"
"There are still some books that I haven't read, so it's not good to stay too long!" Xie Suxian said easily, "But having said that, I am a little curious, why is Miss Yan in the residence of Marquis Ningyuan?"
"I...I'm staying at my house!" Yan Junuo slowly lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes with some disappointment, "My father is not in the capital, and my mother doesn't like me very much..."
Yan Junuo's voice was very soft, with a hint of crying. If it were the man next to her, he would probably have some sympathy now. After all, a delicate woman who is not loved by her aunt will most likely make men feel bad.
But the Xie Suxian in front of her was not like most men.
As the prince, he entered the East Palace. What he valued more was a woman's identity and background. A woman who had no way to help her could only be regarded as a plaything at most.
But now, he has not yet married a wife. Before marrying a real wife, neither he nor the emperor will allow him to have other messy women.
What's more, the Yan Junuo in front of him was far inferior to Xu Qingmo in terms of family, appearance, and even chess skills. He really had no interest in her.
"I always pay attention to filial piety. Miss Yan will return to her house sooner or later. I have also met Mrs. Yan. Although she has a bad temper, she is a kind-hearted person. I hope Miss Yan will be more considerate!" Xie Suxian looked at Yan Juno said calmly.
Yan Junuo's expression suddenly changed. She opened her big innocent eyes and looked at Xie Suxian wetly: "Your Highness, I..."
Xie Suxian was not interested in the affairs of Yan Junuo and Mrs. Yan, so he interrupted her directly: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yan Junuo took a few steps forward, wanting to persuade him to stay, but unexpectedly, Xie Suxian was determined to leave.
Yan Junuo watched Xie Suxian's back walking further and further away, feeling ashamed in his heart, and the hands hanging by his sides gradually clenched into fists.
"Girl, with His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude, is it because His Highness the Crown Prince said something bad about you?" Lan Xin couldn't help but whisper.
Yan Junuo is beautiful, with big eyes, a high nose, and a small cherry mouth. No matter who he meets, he always looks at her twice. But this time, the prince didn't even look at her, let alone her. , even Lan Xin is also puzzled.
"She will not speak ill of me in front of His Highness the Crown Prince!" After a long time, Yan Junuo slowly let go of his hand and raised his eyes again, with a bit of determination in his eyes.
"Then how could His Royal Highness..."
"My status is far inferior to hers!" Yan Junuo looked at the chess set in front of him and said softly, "She, Xu Qingmo, is the only daughter of Ningyuan Houfu, and although I am a legitimate daughter, after all, I am not a eldest lady. raw!"
Lan Xin was speechless.
"Also, even though we don't want to admit it, the fact is that Xu Qingmo's appearance is amazing, far better than the daughters of other families in the capital, including me!" Yan Junuo held a black chess piece in his hand and said softly.
Lan Xin didn't speak anymore, just stood there quietly.
"The most annoying thing about a man is the way he responds to greetings, and Xu Qingmo's indifference happened to make His Highness the Crown Prince more competitive. Just like in this game of chess, she won beautifully, but I lost miserably!" Yan Junuo raised his eyebrows! Eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"That girl, we are now..."
Yan Junuo lowered his eyes: "Let's go back!"
As soon as Yan Junuo left, Qiu Chan, who had seen off the prince, came and took away the chessboard. However, there was a sunspot missing from the chessboard. Qiu Chan couldn't find it, so she took the chessboard to Xu Qingmo.
"You mean, you lost a sunspot?" Xu Qingmo sat there, holding a cup of milk tea that she didn't like, and drank it slowly.
"Yes, I have been searching in the rain pavilion for a long time, but I still can't find it! Most likely, someone took it easily!" Qiu Chan said softly.
"If you lose it, just throw it away. Just find one carved with black jade!" Xu Qingmo looked at the milk tea in the cup and found it hard to swallow. "Although it is precious, it is not impossible to find!"
Qiu Chan naturally agreed and was about to leave when she was stopped by Xu Qingmo: "Take this chessboard away and I can't bear the crime of giving or receiving it privately!"
Qiu Chan suddenly understood and quickly picked up the chessboard: "This slave didn't think carefully enough!"
Xu Qingmo smiled, not really caring: "It's okay, you can give it to your mother, just say it's from the prince, I don't want it anyway!"
Qiu Chan glanced at Xu Qingmo, saw that her eyes were firm and she understood clearly, she responded, then turned around and left with the chessboard.
"Young lady seems to dislike His Highness the Crown Prince?" Hua Ying lowered her voice and asked quietly.
"A hypocrite is naturally annoying!" Xu Qingmo sneered, "If you see him in the future, walk around him!"
Hua Ying and Qu Lian looked at each other, then nodded in agreement: "Yes, girl!"
