Qing Wan managed to calm down and was about to walk towards the other party when she heard a woman's voice from behind Ji Lanjin: "Hey, it's your turn." There was a hint of the coquettishness of a little daughter in her sweet voice.
state.
Qing Wan was startled, her steps subconsciously stopped, and she raised her head again to look in the direction of the opponent. Only then did she realize that Ji Lanjin was holding a white piece in her hand, and seemed to be playing chess with someone. Opposite him,
A big red shadow appeared in the direction blocked by his figure.
The look is dazzling and flamboyant.
Suddenly losing the courage to step forward, Qing Wan turned around and said: "Let's go back!" After saying that, without waiting for the two maids to react, Qing Wan hurriedly walked down the mountain.
Although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, his departure was clearly hasty and messy.
Ji Lanjin stared at her back as she hurried down the mountain. Her dark eyes were calm and there was no emotion in them.
At this time, a beautiful head poked out from behind him, pouted his lips, and protested dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
Before he finished speaking, he noticed the back figure disappearing little by little among the branches in the distance. He couldn't help but frowned and said doubtfully: "Huh? Who is that person? He looks familiar." After that, he didn't wait for anyone.
Answered, he quickly withdrew his gaze and glared at Ji Lanjin again: "Oh, never mind, hurry up then. Don't forget that you promised me that as long as I can beat you in one game, you will
Go to Qingfu to take Sister Wan back to the palace."
The man in front of him glanced at the chessboard in front of him and saw no movement on his hands. After a moment, he raised his head and called out in a calm and clear voice: "Princess..."
"What's wrong?" The little girl opposite blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at her blankly. There was still a trace of anxiety in her eyes, wanting to urge the other party to make a move quickly.
However, the man in front of him put the white piece in his hand into the chess jar beside him, and then calmly reminded him: "This game is already a dead game."
"Ah?" After hearing this, the face-like woman quickly lowered her head and looked at the chessboard in front of her. Only then did she realize that her piece had landed on a dead end. She had blocked herself, and she immediately said with a slumped face:
"How could this happen?" Then he glared at the man opposite him fiercely, "Why are you like this? You don't know how to be humble and compassionate at all. No wonder Sister Wan doesn't want you. Hum, I won't play with you anymore, I
I have to go back to the palace." Then he stood up with his sleeves rolled up and walked down the mountain angrily.
By the way, this person is none other than the little girl who was favored by Qing Wan back then, and is now the princess Ji Lingxi.
After not seeing each other for three years, the skinny little child had grown into a big girl. Not to mention just seeing a silhouette, even if the other person was completely standing in front of Qing Wan, I might not be able to recognize her at once.
"Ha!" Ji Lanjin looked at the other party's childish expression and just chuckled indifferently. His eyes immediately fell in the direction where Qingwan left. The smile on his lips slowly disappeared, and there was gradually more in his eyes.
He picked up something complicated, and then said in the dark: "Qin Zun, put the chess away, let's go back, cough, cough..." Ji Lanjin stood up, coughed a few times, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
Abnormal pallor.
Qin Zun came from the darkness and saw Ji Lanjin's appearance. He frowned worriedly and said, "Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go!" Ji Lanjin shook his head, put one hand behind his back, and walked slowly along the road down the mountain.
