Xie Yuancheng surprisingly didn't help, and even joined in the commotion: "It's rare to have time, Your Highness, please."
I kept smiling, but actually kicked him.
When I got to Li Zhaole's position, all the pieces were already set up. I hesitated, but luckily Xie Yuancheng made a move. Since I didn't know how to play anyway, I just followed his lead.
Li Zhaole stood to the side and said, "Your Highness, you play even worse than me. There's really no hope for you."
Xie Yuancheng finally remembered to save face for me: "Sister Zhaole, you can't say that. The Prince Consort is just being lenient with me."
After saying that, he secretly stepped on my foot from below. Humph, I'm not looking at you.
I got more and more confused as the game progressed, but I still managed to win.
Li Zhaole probably found it unbelievable too, but she was still very happy to have won. She even held my hand and clapped along with me, then gently hugged me. For someone who often gave me the cold shoulder to actually hug me, especially a princess like her, made me feel a little flattered.
I could feel her joy too. As soon as I met Xie Yuancheng's eyes, I saw the fire in his eyes.
I gently pushed Li Zhaole away: "Princess, I've won it back for you. You can continue playing against the Marquis."
Just then, Xiren brought over some tea and snacks, so I decided to go and eat something.
Xie Yuancheng tossed his black pieces onto the chessboard: "Prince Consort, we should go." His voice was no different from usual, but I could still detect his displeasure.
I hope Li Zhaole will be more determined and make me stay.
Li Zhaole indeed launched a counterattack: "Brother Yuancheng, my husband and I are only newlyweds, and you are also newlywed. Even if you have something important to do, you should spend time with your family."
Xie Yuancheng stood up, a faint smile on his lips: "That's true, but the Prince Consort came to Linyang to gain experience. Now that something has happened in Linyang, he definitely has to step forward. A man's ambition lies in all directions, and you don't want him to hide under your protection forever, do you?"
Li Zhaole hesitated, and I was anxious. "Why don't you confront him? You're usually so fierce with me, right? Go confront him!"
Xie Yuancheng saw that Li Zhaole remained silent, her eyes fixed on me. Well, there's no escaping it now, I might as well go with her.
When I passed by Xiren, I saw her holding a tray of pastries, which were her specialty. So I took one and said, "Xiren's pastries are the best. I'll take one first."
I don't know if Li Zhaole lost his temper with the two girls, because Xie Yuancheng, who was standing next to them, was even more difficult to deal with.
Xie Yuancheng suddenly turned around and pulled me closer: "Ying'er, is the snack delicious?" I had just taken the last bite and couldn't speak, so I could only nod.
I knew he had no good intentions. He leaned in and we kissed. I was extremely worried that if Li Zhaole appeared behind me, I would be accused of homosexuality, and she would definitely take her anger out on the Ji family.
Xie Yuancheng finally relaxed: "Mmm, it really tastes good."
Seeing that no one was around, I wiped my mouth and said, "Yuancheng, they are all girls."
Xie Yuancheng stopped in his tracks. "And then?"
"So, you don't need to worry too much, because nothing will happen," I said casually, but the look on his face when he turned around wasn't good.
Xie Yuancheng stood half a step away from me: "Ying'er, I only left for a short while this morning, and you couldn't wait to see them. Shouldn't I be angry?"
I was speechless: "I left you a note. Besides, I am still the prince consort. If I keep disappearing, it will definitely arouse suspicion."
Xie Yuancheng smiled mysteriously again: "Don't do that next time."
I agree with whatever he says now, and even if I disagree, I can't show it.
