Chapter 55 Jealousy
Eunuch Xi hurried in and replied, "Your Highness, no one has come in except this servant."
The study is an important place and he is the one who cleans it.
Lu Jiuyuan frowned: "Then you moved the chessboard?"
Eunuch Xi shook his head again and again: "Without your Highness's order, this servant will not touch your chessboard."
His Highness has his own habit of playing chess. Sometimes he will continue playing the next game before finishing it.
Therefore, Eunuch Xi would not touch Lu Jiuyuan's chessboard at will.
Eunuch Xi asked worriedly, "Your Highness, was something stolen?"
Lu Jiuyuan didn't say much, just waved his hand and asked Eunuch Xi to leave.
Seeing his attitude, Eunuch Xi knew it was no big deal, so he retreated with suspicion.
Lu Jiuyuan sat in front of the chessboard, looking at it.
What shocked him was not anything else, but the fact that he had studied the Taichu chess game for three months, hoping for a draw or a victory for the black pieces.
But he has figured out that white wins.
The outcome of a draw or a black player's victory has not yet been determined.
But the chessboard in front of him was actually a draw, and if the black piece took one step forward, it would be a big win.
You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.
Just one move led to this situation.
yes……
Lu Jiuyuan remembered last night when he used the white pieces as weapons to attack Bai Taotao.
While Bai Taotao was talking to him, she placed the white piece, and then the black piece...
Lu Jiuyuan looked at the chessboard again: "Is it Bai Taotao?"
This damn woman, she looks like a naive idiot, totally indecent, and only knows how to lie to others.
How could he have such talent in chess?
Lu Jiuyuan couldn't believe that this woman, who only spoke dirty words, could be so smart. So, Lu Jiuyuan took out the Bai Taotao chess pieces, arranged them according to his memory, and started playing again...
He must think of a better chess game than Bai Taotao's!
…
Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Bai Taotao took the three little cubs home.
Bai Xincheng looked at Bai Taotao and asked her with concern: "Taotao, how are you doing in the East Palace recently? Has the prince bullied you?"
Liu asked softly, "Are the concubines in the mansion behaving well?"
Bai Taotao: "There are no concubines. They are as quiet as chickens. Besides, there are only maids in the mansion. There are no young maids."
Since Lu Jiuyuan was impotent, Emperor Shengzong gave him three women to silence the gossips.
But Lu Jiuyuan didn't buy it. He didn't even give those three women the title of a maid, let alone concubines.
As for those three women, no one knew where they were thrown into the mountains and they grew hair.
Well, growing hair in the mountains is much better than being skinned and hung up.
So, those three women were really as quiet as chickens.
Liu's eyes lit up and she asked curiously, "So, is it true that His Highness and Lord Huo are having an affair?"
Bai Taotao: ...
Mother, why do I see that you also want to support the Crown Prince and Lord Huo?
He's your son-in-law, let's be rational!
Bai Taotao was afraid that Liu would activate her villain instincts, so she said, "No, no, His Highness likes me and the three little treasures very much."
Bai Yunting looked at Bai Taotao: "I came to the palace today, how come I heard some rumors?"
Bai Taotao asked him, "What rumors?"
Bai Yunting looked at her with pity and anger: "It is said that the prince always yelled at you, beat you often, tried to kill you several times, and abused you and the three little ones."
Bai Xincheng nodded. "When I went to buy candied chestnuts for your mother, several people said that the Crown Prince had gone mad and almost killed the Crown Princess. He also tried to eat the three little kids several times."
Bai Taotao curled her lips: "You believe this kind of rumor, don't you..."
Before she could finish, Bai Yunting said, "Don't be afraid, Taotao. Big brother will protect you. Big brother will lead the troops to rebel right away."
Bai Xincheng: "When Dad goes to court, control the civil and military officials and help your elder brother with internal and external support."
Liu: "I am weak, so I will not get involved. I will go out for a walk, relax, and help Taotao become the queen."
Walking to the palace is not a problem.
Kidnapping the emperor and threatening him to abdicate makes you feel better and relax, right?
Bai Taotao looked at her relatives who were determined to become villains and quickly said, "The third little bastard's title was granted by the Crown Prince, and..."
She lowered her head shyly: "Your Highness dotes on me very much. What we do is just a little bit of husband-and-wife fun. Beating is love and scolding is love. Without beating and scolding, there is no love."
Lu Jiuyuan was mad at her!
Bai Xincheng didn't quite believe it: "Really?"
Bai Yunting also said, "I also heard that the Crown Prince had another attack today, and another person died in the Eastern Palace. They screamed miserably, they were cut 3,600 times and died in agony."
Bai Taotao: ...
It was Lu Jiuyuan who screamed in the morning.
These people spread rumors and believe everything they hear.
Bai Taotao said, "No, I came back to ask Big Brother when we're going to Northern Xinjiang."
Bai Yunting said: "The war in the northern border is intense. I will leave tomorrow."
He comforted Bai Taotao: "But don't worry, sister. I left behind 10,000 elite soldiers. If you don't want to stay in the East Palace anymore, you can deploy them."
Bai Xincheng spoke to Bai Taotao earnestly.
"We work so hard just to keep our family alive and happy, so Taotao, don't hold back on any grievances."
Liu's voice was soft: "Mother doesn't have any special ability. She just goes out for a walk when she's unhappy, but you have to tell her."
If anyone makes Taotao unhappy, she will take a sack, go out for a walk, and beat up the person.
Bai Taotao felt their affection and love and was deeply moved.
Because before she traveled through the book, although she was not an orphan, she had parents, sisters and brothers.
It’s just that my parents favor boys over girls, and as the second child, I was the one being bullied, so I hardly felt this kind of family love.
Bai Taotao smiled and said, "I won't let myself be wronged. You guys should do the same. If you are unhappy, tell me."
She would never let them become villains!
Bai Taotao asked Bai Xincheng, "Dad, did you pass through Huangsha City five years ago?"
Bai Xincheng nodded: "No, because of the war in Huangsha City, we went around to another town."
Bai Taotao hummed, "Dad, please help me look into the war in Huangsha City five years ago."
Huangsha City is the city where Lu Jiuyuan was attacked. Now it no longer belongs to Dayang Kingdom and has been taken away by the enemy country.
To this day, Huangsha City still has another nickname: The Battle of the Defeat of the Prince of Huangsha City.
This nickname was like a pillar of shame, nailed to Lu Jiuyuan's body, and he was despised by everyone.
A person as proud and arrogant as Lu Jiuyuan should have been a great hero admired by everyone.
He should have been the pillar of the Great Central Kingdom, the shield that would prevent the enemy from invading upon hearing his name.
Lu Jiuyuan, he doesn't deserve to be humiliated like this!
Bai Xincheng was surprised and puzzled, but he didn't ask why, and nodded happily: "Okay."
Bai Yunting looked at Bai Taotao with a bit of resentment: "Sister, do you think big brother is incompetent?"
Bai Taotao was confused: "No? Why would Big Brother think so?"
Bai Yunting said in a deep voice, "Why did you only ask father to help you investigate, instead of calling big brother? Do you think big brother is incompetent and can't help you?"
Bai Taotao: ???
Is my elder brother, a tall and strong man, jealous of his father?
