The three of them, Lin Yanqing and others, were watching the battle with teacups in hand. They occasionally chatted about daily life and recalled the past.
After the game of chess was finished, An Zhixian smiled and sighed:
"The master's chess skills are superb, and I am ashamed of myself. Mr. Qin, look at it. You pushed this junior to the front, which is embarrassing for you."
Grand Master Yao looked at An Zhixian with a smile and a deep look.
Qin Yushi smiled and said: "Zhixian, the Grand Master's chess skills are something that even His Majesty is ashamed of. It is already very rare that you can play with the Grand Master for so long before losing."
Master Yao: "It was because he held back his hand that he lost so quickly. At such an age, having such chess skills is really impressive."
The Third Prince's Mansion.
After hearing what Xiao Siming said, Chu Chengye frowned:
"You just started talking to that girl from the Lin family, and the Second Emperor interrupted you and kicked you away?"
Xiao Siming said angrily: "Yes, Your Highness, after you found out Miss Lin's whereabouts, I often went to the places where Miss Lin often went to wait. Today I finally met Miss Lin in the teahouse, but His Highness scolded me and drove me away. I I already made it clear that you asked me to go, but His Highness didn’t listen at all.”
"What does he mean?"
"I don't know either. Everyone knows how much help it is to have Miss Lin. His Highness dares to harm you in this way. It's hard to say that he is not of the same mind as you at all."
"If I didn't stop you, I'm afraid Taifu Lin would have to go to your mansion to ask Xiao Shangshu for an explanation."
As soon as Xiao Siming finished speaking, Chu Chengyao's voice came from the door.
Xiao Siming, who was fighting with his back to the door, heard the sound, with a look of anger and embarrassment on his face, and turned around to salute Chu Chengyao.
Chu Chengye sat calmly, watching Chu Chengyao walk in, and reached out his hand to make a casual gesture to sit down.
Before Chu Chengyao could sit down, Chu Chengye asked:
"Just now you said that Taifu wanted to ask Xiao Shangshu for an explanation. What happened?"
Chu Chengyao sat down, glanced at Xiao Siming and then said:
"I know you want to win Miss Lin's heart, so that the Gu and Lin family can help the third brother, but you are too anxious. In public, your words are so frivolous, not to mention the daughter of a scholarly family, it is ordinary Even serious girls from the market can’t stand it.”
Xiao Siming said anxiously: "I just expressed my love to Miss Lin, it's not frivolous."
Chu Chengyao: "When you express your love for a boudoir lady, you should be polite and courteous. In a crowded place like a teahouse, if you stand less than two steps away from Miss Lin, your breath will be spread on her face. How could she not be in a hurry? If she were not in a hurry, she wouldn't be cold-faced and would let the maid block you."
Xiao Siming glanced at Chu Chengye subconsciously and argued:
"I just stood closer. I have already apologized to Miss Lin."
Chu Chengyao looked at Chu Chengye and sighed:
"Taifu Lin, Qin Xian, Imperial Envoy Qin, and Taishi Yao are all drinking tea in that teahouse. If I hadn't driven Siming away first, Taifu Lin would have spoken out, and there's no telling what kind of trouble it would have been."
Chu Chengye: "What happened next?"
Chu Chengyao: "As soon as Siming left, Mrs. Lin went downstairs and said that if anyone blocks Ms. Lin's words again like this, she will come to find that person's parents and ask for an explanation."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Siming: "I was worried that if you wanted to get married and failed, you would become enemies instead, which would affect the great cause of the third brother, so I sent you away. If the third brother and Xiao Shangshu think that I am meddling too much, they will be nosy in the future. I just don’t care.”
