Chapter 158 Privilege, behind the scenery is blood and sweat
Xiao Jiuan stared at Ji Yunkai, not because she was stunning, but because the mask she wore today couldn't suppress the dark spots on her face!
I don't know if the mask on Ji Yunkai's face is too thin, or the black spots on her face are getting more serious. Xiao Jiu'an can see the black toxins constantly swimming on her face through the mask.
Yes, those toxins were swimming on Ji Yunkai's face, but because the speed was too slow, they couldn't be noticed without looking carefully.
Maybe, he really wants to urge Feng Qi to come to Beijing.
Feng Qi, Beichen Tianque, Princess Tianwu, Nanjiang Nanzeyu, this capital must be very lively.
Seeing Ji Yunkai touching his face with a puzzled look on his face, Xiao Jiuan withdrew his eyes indifferently and said to the servant on the side: "Go and get a gold mask."
Ji Yunkai is wearing a vermilion palace dress today, with a slender waist, a slightly open neckline, and wide sleeves. She is beautiful but also dignified. She is calm. The gorgeous and frivolous butterfly mask is not suitable for her. A textured gold mask is the first choice.
Changing masks again?
Hearing Xiao Jiuan's words, Ji Yun's mouth twitched and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he shut up obediently.
Today was considered mild. Last time Xiao Jiuan crushed her mask to pieces.
It's just a mask change, as long as Xiao Jiu'an is happy.
The servant quickly brought over a gold mask. Although it was made of gold, it was not luxurious. There were not even a few gems on it, which was completely in line with Ji Yunkai's preference.
To be honest, she didn't like the gorgeous style, and the butterfly mask didn't suit her preferences. She chose this mask just to satisfy Xiao Jiu'an, but he was still not satisfied.
It's really hard to guess a man's thoughts.
After putting on a new mask, Xiao Jiuan nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the carriage. Ji Yunkai could only follow.
The two of them boarded the carriage one after another. Ji Yunkai sat in the corner as usual, but as soon as he sat down, he heard Xiao Jiu'an say: "Can you play chess?"
"Play chess? Go or chess?" Ji Yunkai glanced at the chessboard and asked one more question without seeing the chessboard.
Xiao Jiuan did not answer her words, but directly took out the chessboard: "Play a game with me." Ji Yunkai asked, which showed that she knew how to play chess.
Ji Yunkai twitched the corner of his mouth again, said nothing, and just stepped forward silently.
Will she tell Xiao Jiuan that although she can play chess, she doesn't like playing chess at all?
Especially playing Go, it is really a brain-consuming thing.
Xiao Jiu'an took out the chessboard and stopped moving. Ji Yunkai took a look and knew that the old man was waiting for her to make a move, so he had to arrange the chessboard and put the white pieces in Xiao Jiu'an's hand.
No need to ask, according to Xiao Jiuan's pride, she must be the one who holds the black piece and makes the first move.
"Your Majesty, I'll make the move first." Ji Yunkai picked up the black piece and put it down.
Xiao Jiuan didn't answer, he picked up a white finger and settled on it.
Xiao Jiu'an's fingers were extremely slender, like fine white jade. The jade chess piece sandwiched between his fingers was actually overshadowed by it, and was dimmed by his fingers.
Xiao Jiuan's nails were neatly trimmed and very full. The curvature of each nail was like a half moon. It was just a simple movement of holding a chess piece, but it had an indescribable charm when he made it.
Ji Yunkai is not a hand control. She will appreciate the beautiful fingers when she sees them, but she only appreciates them by looking at them a few more times. But when she saw Xiao Jiuan reaching out, she couldn't move her eyes away.
How could it be so foul? Isn’t this man’s hand holding a sword?
How could a man holding a sword have such beautiful fingers?
Wouldn't it be true that holding a sword all year round will cause the joints to become larger and thicker, making the hands ugly?
She remembered that Xiao Jiu'an held her hand. His hands were big, warm, and strong. They didn't look like the hands of a martial artist at all. Instead, they looked like the hands of a young master from an aristocratic family who had carefully cared for them.
"Why are you so dazed? Why don't you move quickly!" Xiao Jiu'an looked up and saw Ji Yunkai looking at his hands blankly, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, and he regretted having played chess with Ji Yunkai.
Women are indeed superficial.
"Sorry, I was distracted for a moment." Ji Yunkai quickly turned his head away, feeling slightly embarrassed.
It was really embarrassing to be caught peeping, especially when he was caught peeping at Xiao Jiuan.
Ji Yunkai didn't dare to look at it anymore. He calmed down and concentrated on playing chess to avoid losing too ugly.
Yes, Ji Yunkai was ready to lose, but she didn't want to lose too badly, so she still had to try her best.
Both of them were playing chess very fast. Halfway through the game, their chess style was also revealed. Xiao Jiuan was playing chess in a big way, killing each other all the way. He was so strong that people didn't dare to face him and could only retreat.
Contrary to Xiao Jiu'an's inconsistent chess moves, Ji Yunkai's chess moves are very stable and every move is solid. Unlike Xiao Jiu'an who focuses on offense, Ji Yunkai is better at defense.
Although Ji Heizi clearly had the advantage, Ji Yunkai did not rush to attack, but instead laid out his defense, and then took advantage of Xiao Jiuan's unpreparedness to block his way.
Yes, it's not that Ji Yunkai can't attack, nor can she take action. She can attack, but only if she defends her territory.
This is just like her character. No matter what happens in the outside world, she will move forward steadily and persevere.
Xiao Jiuan's chess skills are as strong as his personality. Even if it is just a chess board, he will be the one who can dominate the chess game.
The two of them played chess at a very fast pace. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the game happened to be over, and Ji Yunkai lost fifteen pieces.
"You... are very good." The last chess piece fell and Xiao Jiuan glanced at Ji Yunkai.
On the chessboard, there are very few people who can't be affected by his chess moves, and Ji Yunkai is one of them.
No matter how his chess moves changed, Ji Yunkai maintained his own style and rhythm all the way, which shows his firmness of mind.
Is this also called good?
Ji Yunkai looked at Heizi who was beaten by Bai Zi into a state of disarray, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
She was sure that Xiao Jiuan's words were absolutely ironic.
But no matter what, after the game was over, she didn't need to use her brain anymore.
He started to put away the chessboard. As soon as the chessboard was placed, the Forbidden Army came forward to check and found out that Xiao Jiuan was on the carriage. The Forbidden Army let him go without even looking at it.
This is the right. When Xiao Jiuan entered the palace, the Imperial Army did not even dare to investigate. But when Ji Yunkai entered the palace alone, the carriage could not drive into the palace at all, so she could only walk in.
Of course, Ji Yunkai is not jealous, nor does he envy him. The privilege he has comes at a price.
Everyone in the world only sees how powerful Xiao Jiuan is, how he ignores the imperial power and can kill a master with one sword. But who knows how much hard work he has put in behind the scenes to achieve his current status and his current strength?
There can never be scenery behind the scenery. Behind the scenery is blood and sweat. Just like her, the world only sees her scenery as the Princess of Yanbei, but who knows what she paid for her current scenery.
of?
She does not envy others' infinite scenery, she will only work hard silently, using blood and sweat to create her own infinite scenery... (To be continued)
