The Favoured Medical Princess: 355 Marriage Choice

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Several familiar ladies and girls secretly exchanged glances. Originally, they thought today's heater would be boring, but now, the fun is here.

For a time, not only Xiao Fei, but also the Princess of Zhennan became the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone wanted to see if Nangong Yue would save Xiao Fei.

Nangong Yue’s expression remained as usual. With Xiao Fei’s temperament, Xiao Fei would not take this idea to heart at all, and she also...

Nangong Yue already had a glimmer of expectation in her heart, and Lily who was accompanying her behind her had bright eyes, feeling that her trip today was really worth it!

Sure enough, Xiao Fei's expression remained unchanged, she straightened her back and stood up. She first blessed the three princesses, and then said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Your Highness, the third princess, is over-praised. I cannot say that my daughter is beautiful and fragrant. As for her talent, My daughter does like to play with chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, but there are outstanding people in this royal capital, and there are many more ladies who are smarter than my daughter," such as my sister-in-law Nangong Yue, "the third princess's piano skills, and the ones just now The song "Three Plum Blossom Lanes" by Wen Gongzi that I accidentally heard in the plum grove was better than that of Chen Nv."

The third princess had a generous and decent smile on her face at first, but when she heard Xiao Fei mention Mr. Wen, her smile couldn't help but froze, and she thought to herself: Is Xiao Fei demonstrating to herself? !

Yongyang's face showed a bit of nostalgia. Xiao Fei's temperament was naturally very different from that of the old Zhennan King, but the temperament of not caring about the eyes of the world was somewhat similar. The look she looked at Xiao Yi was a little more loving.

The third princess said gently: "Miss Xiao is so humble. Since she is not good at playing the piano, why not meet me and see her other talents!"

Such an obvious provocation made the ladies present frown slightly. Originally, they had heard that the third princess in the palace was gentle and lovely, and looked like a princess from a great country, but they didn't expect it to be anything more than that.

Xiao Fei pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, the third princess, my daughter's chess skills are quite good." Even my sister-in-law lost to her, "I wonder if your highness is interested in playing a game with my daughter?"

Playing chess? !

The third princess was startled when she heard this. Her chess skills were not good. Did Xiao Fei want to use the particularly time-consuming game of Go as an excuse, or was she doing it on purpose? Xiao Fei is so brave! It's just a little girl with no class who dares to be disrespectful to a noble princess like herself!

Seeing the third princess's face look troubled, a lady immediately understood her thoughts. This is a great opportunity to please the third princess, so the lady said: "Miss Xiao, I wonder if I have the honor to play a game with you?"

This girl is from the Chen Hanlin family. She was originally a concubine. Since there was no legitimate daughter in the family, the concubine was raised under the name of Mrs. Chen as her legitimate daughter.

The ladies and girls in the capital know these things very well. Unless their family background is worse than that of Chen Hanlin's family, most legitimate daughters will not bother to associate with this Miss Chen.

Now that Miss Chen’s behavior of trying to please the third princess is so obvious, it naturally makes some noble people even more disdainful.

Seeing someone coming to rescue her, the third princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, I wonder what you think?"

No matter how ignorant Xiao Fei was, at this moment, she could still see that the third princess was deliberately trying to embarrass herself.

When she was in Southern Xinjiang, she was the eldest daughter of the most noble Zhennan Prince's Palace. The girls in Southern Xinjiang fawned over her and flattered her, so naturally no one dared to embarrass her... This feeling is quite novel. .

Not to mention the three princesses, the girl in blue dared to provoke their Zhennan Palace. Of course, she could not let others look down upon their Zhennan Palace.

Xiao Fei smiled faintly and said: "If it is an ordinary game of chess, I am afraid it will be very time-consuming. I have a suggestion. Why don't we play a game of blind chess, with a time limit of ten breaths for each move? What does this girl think? ”

Blind chess! ?

Everyone could not hide their surprise. The so-called "blind chess" means that when playing chess, you do not need to look at the chessboard or move the chess pieces, but use formulas to express the moves to be made. This requires superb chess skills and amazing memory to complete the entire chess game. I have all the moves in the chess game memorized in my mind, so the difficulty is naturally not low. Blind chess is often regarded as the highest state of chess. Just imagine two players with unique skills sitting quietly opposite each other, calmly dealing with it, talking and laughing, dominating the situation, how satisfying it is!

Ordinary people would never dare to make such a request without being extremely confident in their own chess skills and memory.

It seems that there is really something good to watch today! Those good ladies and girls were impatient.

Miss Chen couldn’t help but look hesitant. Of course she had played blind chess before, but she didn’t have absolute confidence. What’s more, blind chess requires the player’s full dedication, but an occasion like today will test one’s ability very much. Mentality and concentration...

But now that Xiao Fei has accepted the challenge, if she retreats without fighting, she will not be able to please the third princess, but will also offend the eldest daughter of Zhennan Palace, and even become the laughing stock of everyone after dinner! I am already at the end of my rope!

Maybe this Miss Xiao is just bluffing?

Miss Chen took a deep breath, forced a smile and nodded: "Miss Xiao, then I will play chess with you today to make friends!"

Xiao Fei smiled and said nothing.

While they were talking, the maids of the Princess Mansion had already prepared several chessboards for the convenience of the female relatives present to watch the chessboards.

Following this, a huge screen was placed in the room, allowing Xiao Fei and Miss Chen to sit behind the screen.

Under normal circumstances, playing chess also requires guessing the pieces to determine who holds the black piece. The side holding black has the advantage of moving first.

But today the maid just brought the chess box, and Miss Chen took the initiative to hold a white piece from it, showing humility, and said: "Young lady came all the way as a guest, how about I let Miss Xiao hold the black piece?" ”

Xiao Fei casually picked up a sunspot and agreed.

The first few moves of Xiao Fei and Miss Chen were ordinary. Both sides occupied four star positions first. This is a common starting move in chess.

"Black, three six."

"Bai, Jiu San."

"..."

The next few moves of chess cannot escape the usual path. "Quan Yu Pian" says: "The chess players of Quan Yu set up the chess and adhere to the outline. The four corners are divided in advance to determine the position. Then split two and fly diagonally, lower the momentum and wait for one. Standing two can split three, standing three can split four, facing the momentum can split five. There is no need to compare when you are close, and you don’t have to be good when you are far."

This is a chess path that can be found in books, so the two of them can make moves very quickly. The people watching chess around were a little bored, and some ladies were already quietly minding their own business.

But as the number of chess pieces on the chessboard outside the screen increased, the speech speed of the two girls inside the screen slowed down significantly. They not only wanted to play the game, but also carefully placed the chess pieces where they should be... …

"Black, eleven winter, five, break."

"White, fourteen pheasants, six, pass."

"Black, seventeen stars, three."

"..."

It wasn't obvious at first, but gradually, everyone noticed that Miss Chen's speaking speed was getting slower and slower, and her pauses were getting longer and longer... Xiao Fei could basically speak in two or three breaths after Bai Zi fell. The next move, but when it was Miss Chen's turn, she had to think about five breaths and six breaths. It didn't show up once or twice, but it would have been noticed by the female relatives watching around her four or five times. She didn't understand chess. Everyone has seen that Miss Chen is struggling, and those who know chess have seen that Miss Chen's recent moves are completely out of tune. They are just for the sake of making moves, and even for the sake of landing on positions where there are no chess pieces. A waste of chess pieces on a pointless place.

Inside the screen, Miss Chen was already sweating profusely. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly said in an uncertain tone: "Thirteen leaps, four."

No one outside the screen could see Miss Chen's expression, but her tone could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of interested people. Several ladies who couldn't stand Miss Chen exchanged glances with half-smiles.

"Black, December, three, stand." Xiao Fei said immediately.

Her attacks became more fierce with each step. She was only a twelve-year-old girl, but her chess style was refreshing and fierce, a bit like a soldier on the battlefield.

Yongyang looked at the chess game with a deeper smile. Although she doesn't like Xiao Fang's daughter, Xiao Fang's daughter has a different temperament from Nai's mother. No wonder she gets along well with Yue'er.

At this time, a maid quietly came upstairs and whispered something in Yongyang's ear in a low voice.

Yongyang nodded. After a while, there was a sound of light footsteps in the direction of the stairs. Wen Yu, dressed in moon-white robes, appeared on the stairs and walked to Yongyang's side unhurriedly.

The third princess's eyes lit up, her beautiful eyes looking forward to it.

The female relatives present also saw him and couldn't help but whisper.

Even if most of these female relatives didn't know in advance that Princess Yongyang's warm-warming event was just for her grandson, they have now heard about it from person to person.

Yong Yang attaches so much importance to this grandson that even the emperor is willing to give him some favor, so this Young Master Wen must have a bright future.

He is also a good candidate for a son-in-law!

The ladies smiled meaningfully. Although Mr. Wen did not have a father's family and was not worthy of the eldest daughter in their family, the second daughter and the youngest daughter were always worthy!

For a time, many ladies were not focused on this blind chess game.

At the same time, there was another long pause on the other side of the screen. The time should have exceeded ten breaths, but since Xiao Fei didn't speak, no one went out of her way to urge Miss Chen. After all, this was a game of chess. , but it is not a competition. In the final analysis, it is just a matter of having fun at a fire party.

But Miss Chen has no shame in dragging it out. If she keeps failing, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat.

She bit her lower lip and finally said: "Thirteen leap years, seven."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fei frowned and said, "Wrong!"

Almost at the same time, Nangong Yue outside the screen said: "The victory or defeat has been decided." Her voice was very soft, but Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan beside her both had very pointed ears, and they both looked at Nangong Yue curiously. go.

Nangong Yue did not speak, but raised her finger without leaving any trace at the maid holding the white piece beside the chessboard. Only then did Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan realize that the hand of the maid holding the piece stopped there strangely.

Yuan Yuyi thought of Xiao Fei's words "wrong", and suddenly had an idea. She walked over to the chessboard and took a look, and suddenly understood why.

It is indeed wrong!

The "thirteenth leap, seven" that Miss Chen just said has already been sunspotted.

At this time, the other female relatives present also understood that Miss Chen had left her son in a position where she already had a son. That would be a disgrace and a loss of face! And Xiao Fei realized that the opponent was wrong the moment she made the move, which showed that the chess record in her mind was very clear, and she was indeed a master in blind chess.

As usual, when playing chess, one principle is "no regrets", but when playing blind chess, Miss Chen's situation seems a bit subtle. Strictly speaking, she can be considered a loser; but it is not serious. If so, there's no harm in starting over.

The third princess still maintained a gentle smile on her face, and she was extremely upset: she originally planned to embarrass Xiao Fei, but now it was self-defeating and she showed her face in front of Wen Yu.

The third princess stared at Wen Yu's smiling eyes, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She thought that this girl from the Chen Hanlin family who dared to challenge Xiao Fei with such arrogance must have some real ability, but she didn't expect that she actually It's a silver wax gun tip!

At this moment, the third princess had long forgotten that if Miss Chen had not spoken out to save her from the siege before, it would have been her majesty the third princess who would not have been able to step down.

And poor Miss Chen is at her wits' end. She didn't expect that she would make such a big mistake. If she had known earlier, she would have been more steady and moved the move to the corner. It would have been better than now...

Miss Chen’s pretty face turned pale. At this time, she was completely panicked. She didn’t know whether to simply admit defeat or...

She hasn't decided yet, but someone has already made the choice for her. Xiao Fei said seriously: "Miss Chen, please do it again."

Once she lost the opportunity, Miss Chen could only bite the bullet and say another position: "Seventeen stars, eleven."

Xiao Fei paused for a breath and then said: "November, winter, seven."

Miss Chen hesitated again.

Fu Yunyan was stunned and whispered in Nangong Yue's ear: "Ah Yue, your Ah Fei actually has this ability!"

Yuan Yuyi also sighed jokingly: "You can remind me not to offend your sister-in-law easily in the future."

Yuan Yuyi suddenly understood what realm was. It was so fun and satisfying to kill someone like Xiao Fei who did it unintentionally but "unintentionally" killed the opponent without leaving any trace behind!

Nangong Yue smiled. Xiao Fei was already good at chess. In fact, she proposed to play blind chess, which seemed risky, but it was powerful for her. For Miss Chen, the noise outside the screen would disturb her heart, but for Xiao Fei, it made no big difference whether they were there or not.

Miss Chen was already distraught. The rustling sounds outside the screen were amplified ten times in her ears, and her heartbeat was even more like a thunder drum...

What to do? What should she do?

What her father said when he taught her how to play chess suddenly came to mind: "It is the behavior of a gentleman to surrender and accept defeat."

She gritted her teeth, stood up suddenly, and said, "Miss Xiao is so good at chess, I feel ashamed."

Xiao Fei frowned slightly, as if she was displeased. Miss Chen's heart tightened when she saw it. She almost thought that the other party was forcing her to continue playing chess, but Xiao Fei stood up and said expressionlessly: "Concession."

Following that, she stopped looking at Miss Chen, walked out of the screen, and returned to Nangong Yue.

The corners of Nangong Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she whispered in Xiao Fei's ear: "I will accompany you after we return home."

Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, her sister-in-law understood her!

She couldn't help but glance at Miss Chen's silhouette on the screen again. She really didn't understand why Miss Chen gave up so easily when there was clearly still room for action in this game of chess and it hadn't reached a dead end.

A male voice like a clear spring suddenly sounded: "Miss Xiao's blind chess game is so comprehensive and strategizing, I am really impressed!"

It was Wen Yu who spoke, and for a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on them.

Xiao Fei was blessed again and said calmly: "Young Master Wen has been praised too much."

Others heard that Xiao Fei was being modest, but Nangong Yue and the others knew that Xiao Fei couldn't be more sincere at this moment. It's not that Xiao Fei is too strong at chess, but that her opponent this time is simply too weak.

Fu Yunyan lowered his head at the side, laughing so hard that his shoulders trembled. She had to persuade Ah Yue to keep Ah Fei in the capital for a while. This little girl was so funny!

The blind chess game ended. The maids quickly removed the chessboard and screen, and Miss Chen, who was originally hiding behind the screen, had to be forced into everyone's view. She endured the humiliation in her heart and could only pretend to be nonchalant, straighten her back and sit down again.

Yongyang looked at the crowd with a smile and said: "Everyone, I found my long-lost grandson Wen Yu a few months ago. I am taking advantage of this small banquet today to introduce Brother Yu to you."

Wen Yu smiled in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, then bowed and said: "Wen Yu is polite!" Every move, word and smile he made was just right. He looked elegant and handsome, which made many girls praise in their hearts: Good. A handsome young man in troubled times.

Many ladies present have heard that Wen Yu lived among the people before, but they did not expect that his demeanor does not look like that of a commoner. Could it be that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes?

"Young Master Wen is indeed a talented young man!" Mrs. Guangping Hou praised politely.

Following that, several ladies rushed to say good things:

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess for finding her grandson! This is truly a blessing from heaven!"

"Young Master Wen is a handsome man with a quick mind and a sharp mind."

"Not bad, not bad..."

After the ladies praised her a lot, Wen Yu politely thanked her and then left and returned to Dongyun Pavilion.

At this time, the maid who had been waiting aside for a while hurriedly came forward to ask Yongyang if he could open the banquet.

After Yongyang nodded, a line of maids in green clothes brought hot meals to the table. Although Yongyang himself is not very picky about food, the chef in the princess palace is a royal chef given by the emperor, and his skills are naturally extraordinary. It is rare for the princess palace to hold such a grand hearth-warming party. The royal chef really wants to use the skills of Class 18.

A feast of dazzling and fragrant dishes was enjoyed by both guests and hosts. After lunch, Yongyang excused herself from being tired and got up to leave. Yuncheng also left the table with her.

To be honest, Yongyang left, and all the ladies and girls breathed a sigh of relief. In their eyes, they did not think Yongyang was kind and kind like Nangong Yue did. Instead, they thought she was a bit unsmiling, not to mention that everyone knew Yongyang. Yang came from the battlefield and was the emperor's aunt, so he was always a bit frightened when speaking to her.

No, as soon as Yongyang left, a lady came to Mrs. Fu and whispered: "Sister, I wonder how old your nephew is this year?"

In fact, the lady's voice was not quiet at all. At least people within a radius of one foot heard it, and those ladies who were clear-minded pricked up their ears.

The question just now sounded like it was asking about age, but in fact Wen Yu was already at the age of discussing marriage. Young men and girls of this age group would inevitably bring up the topic whenever they asked about their age. On marriage matters.

Of course Mrs. Fu knows this very well, but in fact this is one of the purposes of today's fire party.

Mrs. Fu said with a smile: "Sister Li, my nephew is almost 16 years old. He has suffered a lot in these years and is alone. But he will finally be in peace in the future."

From Mrs. Fu's words "alone and alone", Mrs. Li understood two meanings. First, Wen Yu had no other relatives except the princess's family; secondly, he should not be married. No marriage has been decided yet.

In this case... several other ladies also thought of it, and their eyes lit up. Even those who did not have daughters at home thought of whether their parents' families had any girls of the right age.

Mrs. Fu added deliberately: "My mother has finally found my nephew, and she doesn't expect him to have any great future. She only hopes that he can have a good family and establish a career and continue his heirs." The implication is that Yongyang wants to be a literary figure. Yu chooses a relative.

Mrs. Fu's words were very straightforward, and she just mentioned the word "choosing a mate" directly on her lips. Now all the female relatives present understood it.

The ladies couldn't help but whisper to each other. Princess Yongyang's mansion is one of the best in the royal capital. It is definitely a good thing to have the opportunity to get married to such a family.

Some people have even made up their minds immediately. After today's fire-warming party, they will come to the princess's mansion to test their voices...

After the words were released, Mrs. Fu had completed the most important task of the day, and she was secretly relieved. Now Yong Yang regards Wen Yu as a treasure, so Mrs. Fu is also cautious when it comes to Wen Yu.

After that, the guests were all chatting and laughing, and there was no more trouble until it was almost time for everyone to say goodbye and leave one by one.

Nangong Yue was familiar with Yongyang Mansion, so she came early and left late. By the time she left, most of the guests had left, and Fu Yunyan went to the second door to see them off.

As soon as he got on Nangong Yue’s Zhulun chariot, Xiao Fei muttered something: "... black, eleven winter, five, off. White, fourteen pheasants, six, pass..."

Lily still didn't understand what Xiao Fei was mumbling, but Nangong Yue understood it. After she finished reading, she laughed and said: "Sister Fei, do you still remember the score of the chess game just now?"

Xiao Fei replied matter-of-factly: "Sister-in-law, I'm just afraid that I'll forget, so I'll go over it quickly." Looking at her posture, I'm afraid she won't be willing to finish the game!

Lily then suddenly realized that this was what Xiao Fei was muttering about! She immediately looked at Xiao Fei with a look of "awe". It turned out that the older girl actually had such a memory! What a disrespect!

However, Lily quickly frowned, thinking of the third princess who was the culprit, and couldn't help but said to Nangong Yue: "Prince Concubine, do you think the song "House of Flying Daggers" played by Her Highness the Third Princess today was aimed at someone? You?"

When Lily said this, she immediately attracted Xiao Fei's attention. She asked curiously: "What does the song "Ambush from Flying Daggers" have to do with my sister-in-law?"

Nangong Yue hasn’t spoken yet, but Lily proudly puffed out her chest and said with embarrassment that Nangong Yue’s song "Ambush from Flying Daggers" defeated the Saintess of Baiyue in last year’s Jinxin Party. He said it once, making Nangong Yue feel a little ashamed.

Finally, Lily said with confidence: "Although I don't know much about the piano, I am a student of martial arts, and I still have some understanding of the artistic conception of "House of Flying Daggers". I am not just praising the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine plays the piano." That’s much better than the Third Princess.”

Xiao Fei regretted that she was late in coming to the royal capital, and then said: "Although I have never listened to Sister-in-law's "Ambush from Flying Daggers", I don't like the song by Her Highness the Third Princess..." She considered it After a moment, she said, "Sister-in-law, I don't really understand. Since the third princess is already a noble princess, why does she learn piano not for her own entertainment but to flatter herself?"

Nangong Yue was stunned by Xiao Fei's comment. Xiao Fei's comment really made her feel bloody. The third princess's song "Ambush from Flying Daggers" is clearly deliberately trying to please Yong Yang, isn't it just flattery!

And Lily laughed rudely, so happy that she became sad, and was pinched so hard by Baihui beside her that her little face was distorted.

The Zhu Lun Chai moved forward steadily, and returned to the Zhennan Palace in less than half an hour.

And Xiao Fei almost couldn't wait to get out of the car, saying that she was going back to Xia Yuanyuan to write down the chess score silently, and ran away like a gust of wind, which made Nangong Yue couldn't help but laugh again.
