"Brother Thirteen, what are you whispering?"
The sound coming from behind made Baochai couldn't help but glare at Zhu Jinghong, then turned around and walked into the hall.
"I didn't say anything, I just asked what to eat for dinner!" Baochai said smoothly.
However, his words made Zhu Jinghong keenly seize the opportunity and immediately said: "What are you eating tonight? Is there anything I like to eat?"
"Brother Thirteen, are you staying in the palace for dinner tonight?"
Obviously, Zhu Jinghong's behavior of not leaving made even Zhu Yunsheng feel strange.
"Third sister, what you are saying is not interesting to hear. Thirteenth brother received a royal cane for you and can't even eat a meal from you?"
When he said this, Zhu Jinghong walked to Baochai again, and the latter took two steps back unconsciously.
Although she has a good impression of Zhu Jinghong, Baochai is also a face-conscious person, so she can't stand him being so presumptuous.
After all, there are so many people here!
"That's true...Brother Thirteen, don't you feel any pain!"
Zhu Jinghong said angrily: "Go and take a bite and you will know whether it hurts or not!"
It's also uncomfortable to say that they were both born to the empress. The three brothers were beaten from childhood to adulthood, while Zhu Yunsheng was pampered to adulthood, and at most they only received a few words of reprimand.
Perhaps feeling unjust, Zhu Yunsheng solemnly said: "Brother Thirteen, thank you very much!"
But he saw Zhu Jinghong walking around to the desk, flipping through the book casually and saying, "It's nothing to thank me for empty words, why don't you do me a favor and let your sister Bao teach me how to play chess!"
"Why don't you invite her yourself?"
Looking at Baochai, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "She is not mine, how can I overtake her?"
These words were extremely frivolous, and Baochai became angry when he heard them, and cursed "You are a disciple" again from the bottom of his heart.
However, the next moment, Zhen Qin walked to the middle, looked at Zhu Jinghong and said: "Thirteenth Master, my daughter can also play chess. If it's inconvenient for Sister Bao, I can teach you!"
Zhu Jinghong was stunned for a moment. Zhen Qin's words disrupted his train of thought, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
Baochai is also feeling uncomfortable. Seeing that things are about to happen, who knows that Zhen Qin will have unintended consequences.
"Isn't this girl really taking advantage of me?" Baochai was secretly worried.
Don't look at her angry expression just now. It was just a disguise to maintain her reserve, which was completely opposite to her true thoughts.
Of course, only a person of Zhu Jinghong's status can make Baochai, who thinks highly of himself, behave like a child.
Sitting on the chair, Zhu Jinghong picked up his pen and dipped in ink while asking: "Miss Zhen, who is better at chess between you and Miss Xue?"
"Well... Sister Bao is naturally more powerful!" Zhen Qin could only reply truthfully.
Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Then I'd better find Miss Xue!"
This left Zhen Qin speechless. At the same time, she was encouraging herself in her heart that she would work hard to surpass Baochai in chess.
When that day comes, she will be able to snatch Zhu Jinghong back!
When there was silence in the room, Zhu Jinghong said while writing: "Third sister, Miss Xue is yours, you should say something!"
Zhu Yunsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Who is mine? I think I will become yours sooner or later!"
What the third sister said is wonderful... Thinking in his heart, Zhu Jinghong looked at Baochai, whose face was already flushed.
Zhu Yunsheng turned to Baochai, stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "Sister Bao, I owe Brother Thirteen a favor, please help me... teach him how to play chess for a few days!"
"Princess, I am just playing chess for fun, how can you teach others to play chess!"
At this time, Baochai no longer mentioned whether he was willing or not, only saying that he was not capable.
The fact is, if she is not qualified, the other two are even less qualified.
"Sister Bao, please stop being modest. Brother Thirteen knows nothing about playing chess. Your casual teaching will be enough for him to benefit from it!" At this time, Zhu Yunsheng did not hesitate to belittle his own brother.
Putting down his pen, Zhu Jinghong stood up and walked towards Baochai: "You and I have nothing to do, let's start now, Miss Xue... first tell me the rules of chess!"
After saying that, Zhu Jinghong looked at Zhu Yunsheng again: "Third sister, just go and do whatever you need to do. Just ask someone to take out the chessboard!"
Did Brother Thirteen change his gender? Why do you suddenly like playing chess?
After looking at Zhu Jinghong and then at Baochai, Zhu Yunsheng had a clear idea in his heart.
It turns out that what is said in the book is true. My fair lady is a gentleman. Brother Thirteen is barely a gentleman. It is normal to like Sister Bao... Zhu Yunsheng thought to himself.
"Go get the chessboard. Brother Thirteen, go next door. I'll write here!"
"I can do it!" Zhu Jinghong answered simply.
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong walked towards Baochai, cupped his hands and said, "I hope the girl will not hesitate to teach me!"
"You're welcome, Master Thirteen!" Baochai answered calmly, but felt a little panicked in his heart.
Her mood was extremely complicated. She wanted to get along with Zhu Jinghong, but she was also worried about the differences between men and women and was afraid that people would gossip about her.
"please!"
The two came to the next door, where there was a soft couch with a square table in the middle, with a chessboard already placed on it.
Baochai sat down by herself, while Zhu Jinghong sat opposite.
Seeing that Baochai didn't say anything, Zhu Jinghong grabbed a handful of chess pieces, with a crack between his fingers, and let the chess pieces fall back into the jar with a crisp sound.
"Miss Xue, let's get started!"
Realizing that silence would make the atmosphere more awkward, Baochai could only suppress her shyness, lowered her head slightly and explained: "Thirteenth Master, let's start with the rules of chess. All the chess boards are..."
She felt shy, but Zhu Jinghong had no scruples and stared directly at Baochai from close range, which made Baochai dissatisfied and helpless.
The rules of Go are simple to say, but very complicated to actually demonstrate the routines. With Baochai's detailed explanation, time flies by.
About half an hour later, the queen turned back after meeting her destined wife, and found Zhu Jinghong studying seriously.
This was a rare scene. Yang Qingyin couldn't bear to destroy it and quietly entered the inner study.
"Mom, please sit down!" Zhu Yunsheng stood up and greeted while he was writing.
Sitting on a chair nearby, she signaled Zhu Yunsheng to continue writing, and then Yang Qingyin said: "The sun comes out from the west today? It's rare to see your thirteenth brother working so hard!"
"Well...Brother Thirteen seems to be very interested in playing chess!"
"If you are willing to sit patiently, you are making progress!"
The more difficult it felt, the more curious Yang Qingyin was about what method Baochai used to make her youngest son sit still.
At this moment, next door, Baochai had finished introducing "Tizi", and his voice was already smoking.
"Master Thirteen, do you understand!"
Baochai raised her head and met Zhu Jinghong's eyes, forcing her to change her gaze again.
"I probably understand it, but I don't quite understand it. I'm stupid. Why don't you tell me again?"
However, this was Baochai's second explanation, which made her suspect that the guy in front of her was not listening at all.
Baochai suddenly lost his temper and said: "Thirteenth Master, if you are too stupid, I think you should stop learning to play chess. Wouldn't it be fun to dance with swords and guns every day?"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: "Then can you teach me? As long as I learn everything you can teach me, it doesn't matter what I learn!"
"you……"
This was obviously just to amuse himself. Baochai was so angry that he stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Jinghong.
"Let go, don't let anyone see it!" Baochai was very anxious.
However, at this moment, Yang Jingting appeared outside the room and saw this "unsightly" scene.
Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to let go immediately, and then pretended to say: "I just found out today that chess skills include everything, and Miss Xue is really talented!"
Highly educated? There is another one in front of you... Yang Jingting couldn't help but complain in her heart.
At this moment, she always felt sour in her heart. This feeling came very suddenly, but when she thought about it carefully, there was a trace.
How could I feel this way? How is this different from that Qin girl? Yang Jingting cursed herself secretly.
"Sister Ting, why are you here?" Baochai greeted her.
Yang Jingting immediately replied: "The meal will be passed on soon, and the Queen asked me to inform you!
Zhu Jinghong stood up and said, "Just right...I happen to be hungry!"
