Shangguan Xu held the white chess piece in his hand. He glanced at Xia Xiwan opposite him. Today, Xia Xiwan wore a lavender gauze skirt. The gauze skirt perfectly outlined her girlish waist. She also had a necklace hanging around her neck.
The kind of golden safety locks worn by children, her pure black long hair spread smoothly on her shoulders, and her milky white skin exuded a radiant luster.
Now Xia Xiwan is playing chess with a black chess piece in her hand, her slender feathers hanging down like a small fan. She doesn't have to do anything, it's just a breathtaking ink painting.
Shangguan Xu smiled and said, "Princess Lanlou, I find that your ancient Lanlou country's costumes and decorations are exquisite and eye-catching. For example, I have never seen this safety lock on the market."
As the Jiuling King, Shangguan Xu has never seen any rare treasures, but he has never seen this style of safety lock worn by Xia Xiwan.
"This safety lock," Xia Xiwan blinked mysteriously, "Of course King Jiuling has never seen it outside, because it was customized for me by my aunt and is unique in the world."
"Oh, I don't know who Princess Lanlou's aunt is. I know many top jewelry designers."
"My aunt is amazing. I won't say it here. I'm afraid it will scare King Jiuling." Xia Xiwan said with a smile.
Shangguan Xu knew that Xia Xiwan was unwilling to disclose the identity of this aunt, so he did not force it.
"Our ancient Lanlou country is a paradise. The girls in it all dress like me, and they look beautiful. My mommy said that girls are born beautiful, so the clothes in the ancient Lanlou country are all made by my mommy.
The jewelry is designed by my aunt and is unique." Xia Xiwan straightened her chest when she talked about these, showing a bit of pride.
Shangguan Xu listened carefully but did not answer. In the past, the Lanlou Ancient Kingdom was adjacent to Huaxi Prefecture. Later, for unknown reasons, the Lanlou Ancient Kingdom completely disappeared.
This disappearance lasted for hundreds of years.
Xia Xiwan's choice to cooperate with him this time must have come with a certain purpose, and this purpose must be related to the secret of the disappearance of the ancient Lanlou Kingdom.
"Princess Lanlou, I see that you are calmly playing chess with me here, and you are not worried about the Wang family at all? Early this morning, Shangguan Kai's betrothal gift has been sent to the Wang family. I heard that the betrothal gift is dozens of dollars.
The boxes are full of fine jewelry, and now people outside really believe the good story about Shangguan Kai and Wang Rong." Shangguan Xu said.
Xia Xiwan lost a chess piece, she smiled and said, "King Jiuling, don't worry."
"I heard that Princess Lanlou visited the Wang family last night and met Wang Rong."
Xia Xiwan raised her eyes and looked at Shangguan Xu, "King Jiuling's information is really well-informed."
Shangguan Xu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it too hasty to place all your bets on Wang Rong?"
Xia Xiwan looked at the chess piece she had dropped, "I have no regrets about my move. I chose Wang Rong for my own reasons. Don't be suspicious. I believe in her."
Shangguan Xu looked at Xia Xiwan's clear eyes. Her eyes were so beautiful. They shone with intelligence and determination, which was breathtaking. "Okay, then I'll wait and see."
The two of them concentrated on playing chess. Soon, Shangguan Xu's confidant hurried over and whispered a few words in Shangguan Xu's ear.
Shangguan Xu's hand holding the chess piece suddenly stopped.
The confidant retreated, Shangguan Xu raised his head and looked at Xia Xiwan opposite, "Princess Lanlou, congratulations, you won the bet."
Xia Xiwan put down the chess piece and looked at Shangguan Xu, "Let's talk about it."
"The news I just received is that Shangguan Kai's dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts were delivered to the Wang family in a big way, but there was a fire in the Wang family's backyard. It turned out that Wang Rong burned down her boudoir, left a last letter and disappeared."
Xia Xiwan raised her delicate eyebrows and asked, "What was written in that letter?"
"Wang Rong scolded Shangguan Kai with tears and blood in her final letter. She listed all Shangguan Kai's romantic affairs over the years, saying that she would rather die than marry such a person. Originally, Shangguan Kai's romantic affairs
The matter has been suppressed, now it's over, Wang Rong has exposed all these old accounts in every detail, and now this good story has been ruthlessly exposed, and everyone is talking about the crimes of His Highness Shangguan Kai."
Xia Xiwan didn't show any surprise. When Su Xi chose Wang Rong for her, she believed that Wang Rong could bring out her best value.
The opening scene was sung very loudly.
Xia Xiwan picked up her black chess piece, and now a few strands of hair fell down from behind her snow-white ears, making her look more like a daughter, "King Jiuling, I won't leave today.
You ask someone to prepare a sumptuous meal, and I want to bring a friend to dine at your place."
"Friends? What friends?" Shangguan Xu asked curiously.
Xia Xiwan did not raise her head, "King Jiuling, don't worry, this friend will be here soon."
At this time, a series of footsteps sounded, and Qing'er walked in with someone, "Your Highness, the person has been brought here."
Xia Xiwan looked up at Shangguan Xu, "King Jiuling, this friend of mine is already here!"
The person behind Qing'er stepped forward and said, "Princess Lanlou, King Jiuling, here I come."
Shangguan Xu's dark eyes shrank slightly, because it was no one else but Wang Rong!
Wang Rong burned down her boudoir in a fire and left a last-minute letter exposing Shangguan Kai's evil deeds. Now that her whereabouts are a mystery, the royal family may have gone crazy looking for her.
At this juncture, Xia Xiwan brought Wang Rong to his Jiuling Palace.
Shangguan Xu has always remained neutral. He is the most powerful person to fight for imperial power and cooperate with Xia Xiwan, but he has not agreed to cooperate.
Now that Xia Xiwan has openly brought Wang Rong to his Jiuling Palace, the royal family may have gotten the news, and he will never be able to clean it again.
Shangguan Xu looked at Xia Xiwan with sharp eyes and said with half a smile, "Princess Lanlou is indeed extraordinary. When you were planning the palace, you even beat me up. Princess Lanlou came to Huaxi Prefecture alone.
, you originally had no advantage, but you actually stirred up the entire situation with one person's power, turning everything upside down. It's really amazing!"
Xia Xiwan raised her red lips and said, "King Jiuling is really ridiculous. Now King Jiuling has no way to turn back and can only choose to cooperate with me."
As she spoke, Xia Xiwan lowered her eyes and took away his chess piece. Her clear voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing a bit of courage, "I have paved the way for King Jiuling. King Jiuling is not going to kill him yet."
From all directions, running towards the imperial power, what are you still hesitating about?"
Shangguan Xu looked at Xia Xiwan's clear eyes. Now she looked at him, her eyes gradually revealed their sharpness, like the scorching sun blooming in the sky, shining brightly in an instant.
