Before Yun Shang could respond, Duke Hua spoke coldly from the side: "Beasts are beasts. They are wild and untamed, so if they are used as playthings, they are more naughty." After saying that, he walked slowly there.
Next to the corpse of the snow fox, he bent down and twisted the snow fox up, then turned his head and glanced at Yun Shang, "It can only be made into a cloak of some use, and it can still block the wind and snow."
What Hua Guogong said was not pleasant. Yun Shang saw that the seventh prince seemed to be clenching his hands secretly in his sleeves, but he did not dare to get angry, so he could only clenched his fists and coughed lightly.
Hua Yutong was a little embarrassed, she just stood quietly behind the Seventh Prince with her head lowered, unable to see clearly what she was thinking.
Duke Hua had already thrown the snow fox to the servant standing by, "Take it and dispose of it." After giving the instructions, he raised his head and said to Yun Shang, "I haven't played chess with you for a while.
Come on, go and fight with me in the study."
After speaking, his eyes fell on the seventh prince again, and he curled his lips coldly, "If the seventh prince doesn't dislike me for my poor chess skills, you can come and play together. It's rare for Yutong to come back, so I will accompany your aunt.
Let’s talk for a while.”
Yun Shang was a little surprised. She didn't know why Duke Hua made such an arrangement, but she had no choice but to follow him quickly. Since Duke Hua had said this, the Seventh Prince and Hua Yutong naturally had no choice but to follow the arrangement.
After entering the study, Yun Shang saw a chessboard placed in the study. There were still unfinished games on the chessboard. Hua Guogong had already sat down on one side of the chessboard, raised his head and said to the two of them: "These are the first few games.
The chess game played by the Hiyori people has not been finished, so look who will finish the game with me?"
Yun Shang and the Seventh Prince both looked at the chessboard. Yun Shang looked at it carefully, but was a little surprised. There was a murderous intention in this endgame. The Duke of Hua should hold the black piece. The black piece and the white piece are equally matched, but the black piece looks more beautiful.
Have some advantage.
What surprised Yun Shang the most was that although Bai Zi seemed to be at a slight disadvantage for the time being, he had hidden ways of survival in several places, and he should be able to make a comeback very quickly.
Bai Zi's chess style is a bit like Luo Qingyan's style. Yun Shang thought in her mind, then smiled and said, "This Bai Zi is already in decline. I'm not good at chess. I'm afraid I won't be able to save him, so I will
Let the Seventh Prince come."
Yun Shang looked at the Seventh Prince with a somewhat confident expression, and must have seen the clues on the chessboard.
When the Seventh Prince heard what Yun Shang said, he didn't hesitate, so he walked aside and sat down. The servants had already brought up the teapot, and Yun Shang ordered Qian Zui to help pour the tea.
After pouring the tea, I drank a little and helped Yun Shang move a stool. Yun Shang sat down some distance away from the chessboard with the teacup in hand, watching the battle from a distance.
The black stones were unstoppable all the way and almost defeated the Seventh Prince's white stones. Yun Shang looked at every move of the Seventh Prince. When the white stones were about to be wiped out, the Seventh Prince also used two tricks to hide the white stones on the chessboard.
A way out.
Duke Hua paused for a moment while holding the chess piece, and said with a smile, "This move is really good."
However, it was only used twice. After that, Bai Zi gave in all the way and was eaten up by Heizi in a short time.
Yun Shang lowered her head and took a sip of tea, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. No matter when, the Seventh Prince seemed to have never forgotten his disguise. He always looked like he was terminally ill and weak.
You have to carefully hide your strength in every game of chess, but you are afraid that you will be suspected if you do something too obvious, so you are calculating every step.
Duke Hua pinched the black piece and shook his head, "Your chess skills are not bad, but you're not very good either. It's really not that interesting." After saying that, he turned to look at Yun Shang again, "Girl, come and fight with me.
One round."
Yun Shang stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, grandpa has an order, so I should accompany you."
The Seventh Prince stepped aside, and Yun Shang went over and put the chess pieces back into the chess basket bit by bit, then took a chess piece, pondered for a moment, and then placed the piece.
Yun Shang knew that she was watching the seventh prince's chess moves just now, and now the seventh prince must also be watching her secretly observing her chess moves. Yun Shang deliberately used a method that was not usually used to play chess, showing off her sharp edges, but also many
There was a bit of hesitation unique to women.
A gleam of light flashed in Duke Hua's eyes, and he settled down slowly.
After one game, Yun Shang lost, but he only lost two pieces. Duke Hua looked very happy and played two more games with the two men. The butler walked in and said, "Master.
"
Yun Chang looked at the housekeeper who seemed to have something to report, so he stood up and said, "Grandpa has something to deal with, so Chang'er will go back to the yard to talk to grandma first."
The seventh prince also stood up to say goodbye. Duke Hua waved his hand, and Yun Shang and the seventh prince left the study.
There was still some distance from the study to the courtyard. Yun Shang was walking in front of the Seventh Prince when she heard the Seventh Prince's voice coming from behind her, "I heard that there was a thief in Prince Rui's residence last night. Did you sleep well, sister-in-law?"
Yun Shang knew that the Seventh Prince was testing her about what happened yesterday. She paused for a moment, then turned around, with a smile on her face but a bit of coldness in her eyes, "I can't understand what the Seventh Prince said.
?A thief? Why didn’t I know?"
The seventh prince coughed twice, "Really? Did I hear wrongly?"
Yun Shang smiled softly, "By the way, I forgot that yesterday the Seventh Prince was nervous about Concubine Liu. I wonder if there is any news about Concubine Liu's case, but I see that the Seventh Prince still has free time to do it in person.
I went to catch some snow fox, so I probably didn’t take this matter too seriously. It’s just a pity that Concubine Liu was so young and beautiful, and she was a well-known talented woman in Jincheng, so she disappeared like this.”
After a pause, before the Seventh Prince spoke, he continued, "By the way, if the Seventh Prince sincerely gives away the snow fox, he must remember not to give it random food after catching it, otherwise
It wouldn’t be good for the Seventh Prince if something happened, wouldn’t it?”
The seventh prince looked a little unhappy, his eyes fell on Yun Shang, and he stared at Yun Shang for a long time, and then he smiled and said: "I don't bother my sister-in-law to worry about Concubine Liu. I don't believe it.
A living person can disappear just like that."
"A living person?" Yun Shang seemed to have heard some joke and said with a smile: "The seventh prince is so sure that he is a living person?" After saying that, he looked at the seventh prince again, "There are some things that you don't want others to know.
It shouldn't be done. Since it has been done, it will always leave clues. What do you think of the Seventh Prince? I remember clearly what the Seventh Prince did when he was in Ningguo. In front of me, the Seventh Prince does not have to act at all.
Don’t you feel tired?”
Yun Shang glanced at the Seventh Prince, curled her lips, and was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so she raised her feet and walked towards the yard. (To be continued)
