The crescent moon is like a hook, and the stars are dotted!
Li Sixu and Duke Jiang Jiao of Chu were playing chess on the corridor in the inner courtyard. Li Linfu, who had taken a change of clothes and walked to the corridor, heard that his uncle was playing chess with the little princess while chatting.
"Is Madam feeling better after being frightened?"
"Thank you princess, it's much better!"
Jiang Jiao looked touched: "The princess has superb medical skills. Fortunately, I bumped into the princess today and took the anticonvulsant medicine given by the princess. She has already fallen asleep."
"Why are you being so polite to Sisi? Your Majesty, where did you have the courage to confront Sisi in front of your father?"
Li Sixu twisted the chess piece and smiled.
Jiang Jiao said helplessly: "The princess laughed at me again about what happened in the past. At that time, I was indeed blind-sighted and offended the princess."
"Sisi thinks it's nothing. Every time we face each other, Sisi always bullies the adults."
Li Sixu laughed cheerfully: "Look, even in the game of chess, I am at a disadvantage. I feel a little pitiful against Sisi..."
The old man and the young boy were laughing non-stop while playing chess, when suddenly a voice came from the corridor: "It turns out that uncle hasn't stopped yet."
Li Linfu walked toward Jiang Jiao and Li Sixu who were playing chess, and then greeted Li Sixu with a respectful expression.
"Today, I followed the Fourth Young Master of the General's Palace to send the coachman from my uncle's house to Zhuangzi, and I asked the princess to take him in."
Jiang Jiao felt that Li Linfu was like a piece of brown candy that couldn't be shaken off, and he was about to get cold-hearted when Li Sixu pushed a box of snacks next to the chessboard.
"Master Li, have some snacks!"
This time, Jiang Jiao didn't show off his face, but looked kind and affectionate: "This is a snack made by Concubine Yu De herself."
"It turns out it was the snacks made by Concubine De."
Li Linfu looked proud and said: "Thank you princess for the reward!"
After saying that, he twisted a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth. His expression was indescribable because he couldn't bite it at all.
At this time, Li Sixu blinked and asked, "Sir, are the snacks delicious?"
Touching the princess's clear and bright eyes, Li Linfu did not spit out the snack he had bitten into his mouth, but chewed it hard a few times.
"A bit hard, but sweet and chewy."
Li Sixu had a bright smile on her face: "My mother-in-law will be happy if she knows that her snacks are so praised. They all think her snacks are not delicious, and only adults are willing to give them some thin noodles."
"My lord said that the snacks made by my mother-in-law are delicious, and Sisi feels like we are like old friends at first sight."
Li Sixu asked him: "Can you play chess, sir?"
Li Linfu never expected that a piece of snack would bring him closer to the princess.
He was secretly happy in his heart, and endured the toothache and said: "I understand a little bit!"
"You don't have to be modest, adults."
Li Sixu invited her enthusiastically: "Come, Sisi will play a game of chess with you."
Li Linfu was very good at chess. After he sat down, he quickly reversed the defeat of Chu Guogong in the previous game. Seeing that the victory was in hand, his eyes flashed when he saw Li Sixu, who was thinking hard and not knowing how to move.
After Li Sixu made another move, he deliberately made a clever move.
Therefore, when Li Sixu made another move, her eyes lit up: "Sir, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, Sisi is going to win."
"The princess's chess skills are extraordinary, but I am not incapable of breaking through the siege."
Li Linfu wondered about the chess move: "In my opinion, princess, how does this move sound to me?"
Li Sixu had to admire the person in front of her, how well she knew how to please.
If winning a game of chess is too easy, she will find it boring.
But if she loses, and loses too badly, the little daughter's family will inevitably be angry at the people who play chess with her.
Therefore, the Li Linfu in front of her would always make an appropriate move to break through when she had the advantage, but when she took control of the chess game, Li Linfu would make an appropriate and serious move.
If she continues like this, she will be led to win the game step by step. Because the process of winning is difficult, she will have a greater sense of accomplishment.
As expected, in the book of unfinished conversations between her and Li Linhuai, the treacherous prime minister who colluded with Concubine Wu Hui to deceive the imperial court, supported and re-employed generals, and pushed the Tang Dynasty into decline and war.
How could she tolerate such a person if he bumped into her hand?
"It's wonderful to be able to break out of an ambush from all sides and make such a move, sir!"
Hearing the footsteps coming from outside Zhuangzi, Li Sixu felt that it was time for her to close the net.
She twisted the chess piece in her hand and suddenly fell down, and looked at Li Linfu with a smile: "However, Sisi has already invited you to join the chess game. Even if you break through the siege, it will be too late."
At first, Li Linfu thought that the ten princesses who were rumored to be so powerful were unexpectedly cute. Now Li Sixu looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, her eyes were penetrating into everything.
He finally felt something was wrong: "Princess, what do you mean?"
"Is it difficult to guess what this princess means?"
Li Sixu twisted a chess piece and landed on the chessboard with a thud.
When Li Linfu felt that defeat was certain, Li Sixu sneered: "Listen, there are footsteps outside Zhuangzi."
Only then did Li Linfu realize that after sending him to Zhuangzi, Zuo Qingdao and Li Linhuai had disappeared. He didn't even show up during dinner.
His heart trembled, feeling that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Zhuangzi was brightly lit, and as a dark shadow climbed over the wall, two things tied into rice dumplings fell to the ground with a plop.
Then Li Sixu tilted her little head and asked Li Linfu with a smile: "Sir, do you know these two people?
Seeing Li Linhuai, who hadn't even shown up to eat, suddenly appear in front of him, Li Linfu realized that he had been too careless.
How could he think that the ten princesses who were so powerful in the rumors were easy to deal with?
How could he get so dizzy and treat her like a child?
Li Linfu's heart trembled when he saw the princess' mocking eyes, but he saw clearly that the coachman who was tied into a rice dumpling had no rags stuffed in his mouth and fell to the ground unconscious.
He let out a deep breath and said, "I know you. One of them is the coachman from my uncle's house."
In addition to the coachman from the Duke's Mansion, there was another man who looked like a farmer who was tied up with five flowers and a rag stuffed in his mouth by Li Linhuai.
Li Linfu stepped forward and pulled out the rag from his mouth. The man was so frightened that he fell into the hands of the tenth princess of the dynasty.
"Princess, spare your life!"
He trembled and pointed at the fainted coachman: "It was him. He ordered the young man to push the stone and hit the carriage. The young man did not want to harm anyone's life. He was sure that he pushed the stone and only destroyed the shaft and wheels."
When the man who looked like a kidnapped farmer accused the unconscious carriage driver of the Duke's mansion, a hint of pride flashed across Li Linfu's eyes.
But how could his subtle expression escape Li Sixu's eyes?
"Does your Excellency think that the coachman of the Duke's Mansion won't wake up?"
Li Sixu laughed sarcastically: "If the carriage driver from the Duke's Mansion is the scapegoat, everything will be fine?"
"Your Excellency only knows that this princess is a disciple of the Imperial Physician, but you don't know that I am very good at poisoning. You guessed that you would find a scapegoat for your cunning, and I had already asked the kitchen boy to manipulate the bowl of soup."
As soon as Li Sixu finished speaking, the unconscious coachman opened his eyes angrily and glared at Li Linfu.
Li Linfu, who had always been calm and calm, finally lost his expression...
