For the next three days, Liu Yun and Dongfang Ye were recuperating in Qingfeng Garden regardless of the world. As Lu Ming said, Liu Yun's body recovered faster. She just ate Daphne by mistake. As long as she was careful about the pregnancy, she would be fine.
, but Dongfang Ye's recovery was much slower due to the recurrence of his old illness.
The two of them were sitting on the slum, each covered with a blanket. There was a chessboard made of white jade placed on the table. The two of them were concentrating on playing chess.
Liuyun held a white piece between his fingertips and was looking at the chessboard with a frown. He was mentally calculating several ways, but he felt that the opponent's cunning fox would see through it, especially when his peripheral vision glanced at his half-smiling face.
With such an expression on his face, he couldn't help but glare at him: "Ye, don't you think that as a husband, you should let me go?"
"My wife, Dongfang Ye, doesn't need anyone else to give in to me." Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows lightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, especially when he saw the woman opposite him pouting unhappily, his smile spread even more.
No matter how I look at it, I think it is very cute and cute.
"Ye, when you play chess with the emperor, do you also refuse to give up half of the chess piece?" Liu Yun asked curiously. Logically speaking, when playing chess with the emperor, you should give him half of the chess piece, otherwise if you get into trouble
If the emperor Long Yan is furious, that will be troublesome.
"The emperor is very good at chess. If I let him, he will be unhappy." Speaking of the emperor, Dongfang Ye's eyes showed a touch of respect, and it was obvious that he highly respected the emperor.
For the first time, they talked about the emperor so openly, just like close confidants, chatting without any grudges.
In fact, Dongfang Ye never cared that Liuyun knew about the affairs of the imperial court. On the one hand, she was far away in Linyang, and she was a merchant and had no connection with the royal family. Furthermore, since she was already his wife, Dongfang Ye, then
Of course, there was no harm in telling her those things about him. Otherwise, he would not have told her the identity of Master Murong.
"What kind of person is the Emperor?" Liu Yun was not really curious about the Emperor. She just wanted to get closer to Dongfang Ye and really get closer to him.
"The emperor... is a benevolent king, with the world in mind, and a man of great wisdom." Dongfang Ye thought for a while and continued, "He is extremely far-sighted, sees problems very thoroughly, and is decisive in doing things. He will not be arrogant just because he is an emperor.
On the contrary, he likes to listen to different opinions expressed by different people. A superior person like him should not be so open-minded, but he is just such a person, and people have to respect him from the bottom of his heart."
Just based on these few words he said, Liu Yun suddenly understood why Dongfang Ye was dragging his sick body around so hard. On the one hand, it was for the sake of the people of the world, and on the other hand, maybe it was because of what he saw in his eyes.
It is not easy for the country to have such a virtuous monarch who rules the world with benevolence and righteousness. She believes that the emperor must understand Dongfang Ye's intentions.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Liu Yun startled slightly, Dongfang Ye asked curiously.
"I was just thinking about what it would be like for someone who even you respect and follow." Liu Yun propped her head, and a figure suddenly popped up in her mind. She was so frightened that her fingers trembled slightly, and the white piece fell on the chessboard.
Dongfang Ye frowned: "What's wrong?"
"No, I just suddenly thought of something..." Liu Yun replied perfunctorily, but a flash of light flashed through her mind. She knew that she remembered the secret book left by her mother, which contained some things about the emperor.
, there was some discrepancy with the benevolent gentleman in Dongfang Ye's mouth, so she was a little distracted.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Dongfang Ye didn't insist on asking. Instead, he returned his eyes to the chessboard and teased her narrowly: "Well, seeing that you have been thinking for so long, I thought you could come up with any good tricks. I didn't expect that.
Taken the worst possible step."
It was an almost suicidal step that made Liu Yun's eyes widen in an instant. She quickly reached out to pick up the fallen Baizi and muttered: "No, no, I was just thinking about something and accidentally dropped it."
"..." Although playing chess is a matter of no regrets, Dongfang Ye doesn't really care about his wife. He just looks very cute when she explains in such a hurry.
"Are you sure about this step?" Seeing her place Baizi down again, Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and asked jokingly.
In fact, Liu Yun's chess skills are pretty good, at least among the women he knows, she is considered the best. Dongfang Ye doesn't really intend to train her into a master of chess, but just wants to accompany her.
Just passing the time.
"Uh, let me think about it." Almost subconsciously, he reached out and picked up the white piece again. His eyes lingered on the chessboard, and he glanced back and forth three times. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the move he just made was the best, but the one on the opposite side happened to be the best.
The man spoke in a tone that seemed to analyze everything, which made her feel flustered.
"The move you made just now was the best one. You can advance or retreat or defend." Dongfang Ye couldn't bear to see her frowning indecisively, so he reminded her.
Liuyun glared at him, this guy obviously did it on purpose.
Dongfang Ye shrugged. Of course he wouldn't tell her that he played chess with her because he loved the way she sniffed her nose and thought hard. This girl was a pampered girl, so he didn't mind her exposing herself in front of him.
Xing, he is willing to indulge her and pamper her, but he is afraid that he will not know the world in the future. If he is not by her side and is bullied in vain, he will feel bad.
"Don't let other people's words shake your original thoughts, Yun'er, you should believe in yourself." Dongfang Ye picked up a sunspot and dropped it on the chessboard seemingly casually, "In fact, it's not my chess skills.
It is because I have already started my layout from the first chess piece that falls. No matter whether the opponent is attacking or defending, it will not affect my judgment, because in the end, the opponent will eventually be defeated by my layout.
It’s a big mess.”
His words were always so full of wisdom that she couldn't help but think deeply.
"Playing chess is a game that focuses on the mind. It's not just about chess skills, but about the mind of the player." Dongfang Ye had something in his words and looked at Liuyun with meaning. This girl has always been smart. In the past,
She was protected too well, but later she was attacked. He didn't want her to go back to her old life, didn't want her to work as hard as before, and didn't want her to be less defensive, so he told her something in this way.
thing.
"Attack the heart first?" Liu Yun murmured to himself, unconsciously placing the white piece on the chessboard, but his thoughts revolved around these four words he said.
Maybe, he is right, in many things, the heart should really be the most important thing.
