On the way back, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan did not speak much. Even though they tried to look relaxed on the surface, they still revealed some seriousness. Shen Qiu was also not his usual self. Even though Luo Tan had a carefree temperament, she was sensitive enough to sense that something was not right and did not speak.
Today one had offended Princess Ming An, which also meant offending the Crown Prince of the Qin country. The Shen family had just returned and was pushed to the teeth of the wind and waves. Even though Shen Xin tried his best to avoid it, it was like there was an invisible hand behind his back that pushed the Shen family out. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were not afraid of any difficulties that might appear, but since Shen Miao appeared today, they were afraid that Princess Ming An would hate Shen Miao and use underhanded means to trip them up.
But things had already happened, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it. When the soldiers come, the generals will counter them. The only way was to better protect Shen Miao and not let any slip-ups happen.
By the time they returned to the residence, Shen Miao had entered her own courtyard to freshen up and it was already somewhat late. She lit the oil lamp and when Gu Yu saw that she did not have the intention to rest, she said, "Is Young Lady still worried about tonight's matter? It doesn't matter. With Master and Madam around, they won't let the Qin princess do anything stupid. "
Shen Miao shook her head. She was clearer than others what kind of temperament Princess Ming An had. Princess Ming An's temperament was very selfish and strong, and during the tribute banquet in the previous lifetime, Princess Ming An also made things difficult for her. It was because Princess Ming An thought that Fu Xiu Yi was such an outstanding person, but he married such a vulgar wife, and was very disdainful. Now that the Great Liang's people had changed to Prince Rui, the most outstanding person in Princess Ming An's eyes had become Prince Rui, but she still did not let her off. Perhaps this was what people said, some people's enmity was destined by the Heavens, no matter how many lifetimes were separated.
"All of you go down." Shen Miao said, "I cannot sleep and will play chess for a while."
Gu Yu still wanted to say something but Jing Zhe pulled her sleeves. Jing Zhe said, "Then these servants will withdraw first. Young Lady must not think too much. When one feels tired later, then rest early and do not tire one's body. The night is cold, so don't stay up too late. "
Shen Miao complied and Jing Zhe and Gu Yu retreated.
On the small table in front of the table, there was an empty chessboard. Shen Miao held the white pieces in one hand and the black pieces in the other as she seriously played with herself.
She played seriously. Time slowly passed, and the chess game gradually changed from nothing at the beginning to black and white crisscrossing, appearing extremely complicated. In the beginning, she was able to play the game with ease, but later on, she had to think hard for a long time before she placed a piece.
It was so quiet outside the courtyard that one could not even hear the chirping of the birds and the chirping of the insects as the Ding capital fell into a beautiful dream. A cool breeze was blowing in the courtyard.
Shen Miao looked at the chess board and gently exhaled.
Over the past two years, the various forces had taken turns to enter the stage, and the chess pieces that had been arranged had already reached their positions. From a certain point of view, even if they had the upper hand, they might not necessarily be able to achieve successive victories. This was a game between her and Fu Xiu Yi, but now it seemed that she still thought of some things too simply.
Everything in this world was changing. She was changing. She was no longer the her from her previous life. Naturally, other people would change as well. The only thing that didn't change was the change itself. No one could predict what kind of changes these changes would bring to the game.
She glanced at the chess game on the table, stood up, walked to the window, and opened it. The rustling autumn wind that blew in from the window gave rise to some coolness. The shadows of the trees swayed in front of the window. She looked at it for a while before turning around. The oil lamp in the room had burned to the last bit and the candle flame flickered before extinguishing.
When the lamp was extinguished, the moonlight flowed into the room like flowing water, illuminating the room. It was a little cooler than the lights.
A 'Da' sound was heard from the front of the table. One did not know when a person was sitting in front of the chess board. He held a black piece in his hand and casually placed it on the board before raising his head to look at Shen Miao.
