Chapter 150 Inspiration

The next morning when Jiang Xuening woke up to school, her eyes were slightly swollen and red. Others naturally saw it and only thought to themselves that they didn't know what she had said to Princess Leyang when she went to Mingfeng Palace yesterday, so they didn't dare to ask more.

Fang Miao almost couldn't get up.

The palace people at Yangzhizhai's side dug her out of the warm bed at the same time. After a random wash, she came out head heavy. When she saw Jiang Xuening standing quietly on the porch, she cried: "Did I get drunk last night? I didn't show any ugliness. Didn't I say anything nonsense to offend the Royal Highness Princess?"

Jiang Xuening smiled and shook her head.

She just let go of her worries.

Zhou Baoying was very surprised beside her and said, "Did you drink last night?"

Fang Miao rubbed his head and said, "Your Royal Highness Royal Highness Princess called for a drink, and he also went by to celebrate the birthday of Miss Jiang Er. Can't we just drink with him? Ouch, my head is so wobbly that it doesn't look like it's my own..."

You Yue saw it and laughed sarcastically beside her.

Last night there was no wind or snow. Starting this morning in the east, thin clouds covered the palace community with glazed tiles one after another. It was a rare and beautiful day.

School is still at Fengchen Hall as usual.

Everyone followed the long path in the palace. Most of the others have become familiar these days, walking ahead and whispering aimlessly, guessing what the gentlemen will talk about today and what new rules the Protestant Go will test. Jiang Xuening walked behind, listening attentively for a while, but soon became absent-minded.

Just as she turned a corner and arrived at the palace path in front of the Fengchen Hall, Chen Shuyi couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that the person serving the Holy Emperor? Why are you here?"

Jiang Xuening looked up according to the voice.

It's actually Zheng Bao.

After being promoted by his master, eunuch Wang Xinyi, he seemed to be doing well in the palace. The dark green robe he was wearing was very new, and he also held a brush in his hand. His lips were red and his teeth were white, and he looked delicate. He was gently frowning and looking towards the direction of the east side hall, asking the little eunuch standing in front of him something.

The eunuch replied a few words, bowed slightly, and headed towards the side hall.

Zheng Baoli straightened up and turned around to see the crowd of Yang Zhizhai walking over here.

In front of Kunning Palace in the past, everyone watched Zheng Bao being punished and was saved by Prince Shenjie of Linzi after expressing his feelings. Later on, I heard that a eunuch in his harem had the ability to go to the emperor's side to serve him, and I was secretly surprised for a while.

Seeing him here now, I couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Jiang Xuening also had doubts in her heart.

Before the crowd could ask more questions, Zheng Bao was thoughtful and observant of their eyebrows, eyes, and expressions. He had already guessed roughly, and took the initiative to nod his head, saying, "Last night, Mr. Xie and the emperor, as well as several senior officials, discussed until late and stayed overnight in the palace. He slept in the side hall of the Fengchen Palace. The emperor did not want to disturb him early in the morning, but he presented a few tricky matters that needed to be discussed by the emperor. He had to come and disturb Mr. Qingmeng, so he was invited to come and visit."

Originally, please thank Wei.

That's quite true. Jiang Xuening still remembers that in the previous life, Xie Wei stayed in the palace very late due to some matters. When he stayed overnight in the palace after leaving the palace gate, he almost always stayed in the Fengchen Hall. One is close to the emperor's palace, making it convenient to listen to calls and discuss matters in a timely manner; Secondly, it is close to the Wenyuan Pavilion, and if there is a lecture, it is also convenient to go.

Upon hearing Zheng Bao's words, everyone's doubts were dispelled and they all bowed to him. They then passed by him and entered the main hall of the Fengchen Hall, waiting for the teacher to come and give a lecture.

Jiang Xuening watched with her eyes, nose, nose, and mind, and did not take a second glance at Zheng Bao.

After waiting in the palace for a while, Shen Zhiyi came with the help of several palace attendants. But she didn't come early. Just as she glanced at Jiang Xuening and smiled, Sun Shu, a PhD in mathematics from the National Academy of Sciences, arrived.

Jiang Xuehui had someone find two chess manuals for her to read earlier, and she said that during her absence, her husband started teaching Go, which was indeed true.

Sun Shu's "Ten Classics of Mathematics" has already covered half of it.

Compared to other gentlemen, he is still considered a young man. Although he is not a bookworm, he is addicted to mathematics. He put on an attitude and told them that many things in this world contain the principles of mathematics. For example, in Go, it may seem like someone is more thoughtful than others, but in reality, it's about who has a faster mind and a longer calculation.

===Kunning Section 195===

Jiang Xuening never expected this game to happen again. She was not good at playing Go, but she was absent for several days due to the Tongzhou incident, so she had no idea what was said earlier. Although the person sat honestly in the hall, frowning and listening attentively, their mind still felt like a paste.

If you don't understand, it's easy to get distracted.

Her position happened to be by the window, and when bored, she naturally looked outside and took a break. Unexpectedly, not long after wandering the sky, a figure dressed in a green Taoist robe rushed in from the left side of her field of vision, startling her.

Xie Wei choked on the charcoal from the imperial kitchen fire last night and coughed. When he returned to the side hall, he tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well.

He only got up when the eunuch came to invite him.

My complexion is not very good. But since last year and winter, his complexion has not been particularly good, which others cannot tell.

After a brief wash, he came out of the side hall.

At this moment, the lecture had already begun in the main hall, and the voice of the arithmetic doctor from the Guozijian speaking Go came from inside. He couldn't help but instinctively glance over there when he heard it.

The result was that at this glance, he was able to see Jiang Xuening.

In the cold weather, the window sash was half covered, and her pink and white palm face was embedded in the crack of the window. Her palms supported her sharp jaw, and her normally sparkling pupils showed a hint of lifeless dullness. She remained motionless for a long time.

It's obvious that you're taking a break!

Upon seeing it, Xie Wei paused in his footsteps and furrowed his brow.

Jiang Xuening was far away from him, but in the moment she saw him stop and look at her, she felt a chill rising from her spine and shivered. She didn't know how her mind was spinning, so she reached out and slammed the window sash shut.

The line of sight was immediately cut off.

The sudden sound also startled Sun Shu, who was speaking Go in the hall. He saw Jiang Xuening by the window and couldn't help but frown and say, "What is Miss Jiang doing?"

Everyone looked at her.

Jiang Xuening sneered and explained, "It's a bit chilly outside."

After all, she is sitting on the wind.

Although Sun Shu was slightly dissatisfied with the commotion she made during his lecture, he didn't say anything and turned his head to continue.

After listening for a moment, Jiang Xuening noticed that Sun Shu was not paying attention to herself, and then leaned in and quietly opened a crack in the window sash.

Outside the hall, the rosy clouds fly over the eaves, shining brightly on the jade steps.

But Xie Wei's figure has disappeared.

I think Shen Lang is still waiting for him and has no time to stop and argue with her over these trivial matters.

Why is it that people are not allowed to wander off in school?

Jiang Xuening murmured in her heart, feeling more and more justified as she thought about it, so she let go of it.

Unexpectedly, after finishing school in the morning, someone came to invite her in the afternoon.

It was a young eunuch who had seen her serve in the Fengchen Palace before. She respectfully lowered her head and said to her, "Sir, Miss Jiang hasn't entered the palace for many days to study, so she should have missed a lot of homework. Let's go over this afternoon and have you take the school entrance examination."

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt as if she was suffering from grief.

As if his feet were filled with lead, he gradually moved back to the side hall of the Fengchen Hall. Upon entering the hall, he saw Xie Wei sitting behind the familiar desk, holding a fine pen in his hand, writing a memorial.

She stepped forward to salute.

Xie Wei didn't even lift his eyelids, and the pen in his hand was flowing smoothly without any hesitation. He only asked, "How many days have you been playing aimlessly in Tongzhou? Your heart has become wild, and when you return to the palace, you don't even listen to your studies?"

Jiang Xuening felt wronged and said, "I heard it today."

Xie Wei's long fingers lightly turned, and after passing the pen, he took out a seal from the box next to him. He took some time to look at her and said calmly, "When will the flowers bloom outside and when will the snow melt? It's good to go out and let go of the wild."

She shouldn't have been caught off guard by Xie Wei.

Jiang Xuening had her hands behind her, her fingers stirring tightly.

After thinking about the stubbornness of being beaten by Xie Wei, and listening to his words "reckless and reckless" as if they meant something, she couldn't help but recall that she had talked to Xiao Dingfei on the way to the Cining Palace yesterday, afraid of being overturned by these accounts. She didn't dare to talk back and only buried her head.

Xie Wei stamped the seal on the signature of the memorial, closed it again, and called for the young eunuch outside to come in and hand it over to the cabinet. Looking back, I saw Jiang Xuening suffocating like a quail, and my heart couldn't help but follow suit.

This appearance lacks any vitality.

After reading for a while, he suddenly said, "Do you understand what Sun Shu said?"

Jiang Xuening suddenly looked up at him in surprise.

Xie Wei said, "I've been missing the hall for several days. It's strange to understand. It's not difficult to guess."

What surprised Jiang Xuening was not that he guessed this, but that he was willing to guess it. After all, it seemed like I was going to ask her about cheating, but once I say "I don't understand", it has nothing to do with her.

Xie Wei's behavior doesn't seem like he's going to be pursued.

She blinked her eyes and had a bold idea in her heart. She tentatively said, "Sun Fuzi's lectures are dull and boring, and students rack their brains to keep up with him. I heard that Mr. Qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all talents. How about you teach me?"

This statement first stepped on Sun Shu's feet, and then lifted Xie Wei up, which was a clear praise and flattery.

Xie Wei felt that if she followed her usual temperament, she must have frowned and asked her to correct her attitude.

After all, Sun Shu in the Imperial Academy is not a mediocre talent.

I just saw her obediently standing in front of him with her hands behind her back. When I took a nap in the window this morning, my dull eyes were full of vitality, like a reindeer that had never seen anyone by the creek in the forest, and I didn't feel much better.

After a moment of stiffening at the corner of his lips, he finally drew a slight imperceptible curve and said, "I don't know which way I stumbled on you, as an ignorant and inexperienced person."

He stood up and sat by the window, placing the chessboard on the table.

Jiang Xuening hit the snake with her stick and immediately said, "Sir, that's great." Then she sat opposite Xie Wei.

She found that Xie Wei was a real person who ate soft rather than hard. As long as he didn't confront him with thorns all over his body, it was always easy to coax him. No, no, no, this is Xie Ju'an, who kills without blinking an eye. She has really eaten the courage of a bear heart leopard and dared to use the word "coax"?

No, no, no.

It's important to show respect!

Jiang Xuening was startled by the word that popped out of her heart and promptly pulled back the thought of running away.

Xie Wei placed the nearby chess box over.

He was dressed in a pale green Taoist robe, with dark cloud patterns rolling on his sleeves, like pine waves and clouds. He sat under the window, completely oblivious to the fierce killing of Tongzhou that day, and regained his usual leisurely seclusion of listening to falling flowers.

"Chess requires calculation, which is indeed a method. However, if we talk about Go, we should focus more on 'shi'. Xie Wei did not reject Sun Shujiao's approach, and upon glancing at her, he probably felt that the girl's family liked Bai, so he placed the box of Bai Zi on her right hand. 'Calculation is a technique, and only by obtaining' shi 'can we achieve the Tao.'"

Jiang Xuening looked at the box of chess pieces.

Unexpectedly, he lifted his eyes and noticed that Xie Wei's right hand had long and slender fingers, which were very attractive. However, the middle of his ring finger was wrapped in a thin layer of silk cloth, faintly emitting a hint of ointment fragrance.

She then had a thought in her mind and remembered seeing an injury on his hand in Tongzhou, but couldn't remember where or which finger it was. So she said, "Sir, hasn't your hand injury healed yet?"

Xie Wei went to pick up the chess piece with his fingers and gave it a beating.

He naturally lifted his eyelids, pursed his lips, and looked at Jiang Xuening across from him, without speaking for a long time.

Jiang Xuening's heart was pounding with drums, inexplicably feeling a chill in her eyes. Her lips wriggled and she wanted to say something, but when it came time, she dared not speak.

A heart pounding silence for a moment.

After all, Xie Wei withdrew his gaze and didn't pay any attention to her question. He continued his previous words as if he hadn't heard her. "On the Go board, you can exercise your military skills, and what you're fighting for is your mind. The board is like a territory, and the pieces are like soldiers. Since ancient times, water can carry a boat but also capsize it. The gains and losses of a piece may be insignificant, but if it accumulates over time, it will be difficult to guide and accumulate into trouble. Therefore, those who hold the Go board should guide according to the situation, such as governing the people and water.". If you could understand the knowledge on this chessboard better, whether it's being a person or doing things, you wouldn't be so confused! "

Being a person and doing things, being confused to this point?

Jiang Xuening felt that he had something to say.

But on one hand, she didn't know much about Xie Wei, and on the other hand, she didn't know where she had made a mistake again. She only thought that this half saint was mocking her foolish head and didn't dare to ask further questions.

Xie Wei's words just now suddenly reminded her of Shen Zhiyi's marriage

Water can carry boats, but it can also capsize them.

This is not the first time Jiang Xuening has heard this. She knows it is a common saying in the court, but she has never taken it too seriously. However, Xie Wei said that playing chess is like governing the people and water, but it has inspired her to think.

It should be noted that the reason why Xiao Shu was able to dominate her in the previous life was not only because she grew up in a prominent family in the capital and had a wide range of knowledge, but also because Jiang Xuening secretly thought that she was afraid that she had learned a lot of practical things in the Fengchen Palace that year, and accumulated over time, which was profound.

Now, Xie Ju'an and others are right in front of me

She picked up a chess piece and gently rubbed it with her fingertips. Her eyes flickered and she said, "Are people and chess pieces the same? Chess pieces are played by the player, but each person has one, and they grow in their stomachs. Playing chess can play chess pieces, but when people talk about playing..."

Xie Wei remembered last night when the eunuch came to report back, and now he only wanted to take off Jiang Xuening's beautiful head and place it on the chessboard, asking her to reflect on herself. He didn't pay attention to what she asked her, only casually saying, "Heroes create the situation, and the situation pushes heroes. Although people's hearts are unpredictable, they are afraid of heroes uncovering their poles. If they don't think carefully and others stir up the wind and ignite the fire, their hearts will follow the trend. What's the difficulty?"

In fact, people's hearts are not as good as this chess piece.

A gust of wind blows over, and the chess pieces can still remain motionless; A few words brushed past, but people's hearts always sway and fluctuate.

Jiang Xuening lowered her gaze and faintly realized.

Some things always have a purpose in order to make people humbly study hard.

She is very serious when she learns today.

Xie Wei answered her questions and explained chess for an hour and a half, and she respectfully thanked her. Due to the overwhelming thoughts in his heart, he didn't notice Xie Wei's thoughtful gaze before leaving. After leaving the Fengchen Hall and counting the time, he waited on the necessary path to the Cining Palace. Soon, he saw Xiao Dingfei come out.

She deliberately walked on the palace path ahead.

Xiao Dingfei saw that she was alone, pondered for a moment, and after walking out for a while, he used the excuse that something was thrown in the Cining Palace to look for it, and turned around to find Jiang Xuening.

At this moment, the sky is getting dark.

Jiang Xuening stood at the corner of the palace wall, without any further ado, and straightforwardly said, "Prince Dingfei has been wandering in the market for many years, should he know some people? I have something to ask you to do."

Xiao Dingfei's handsome long eyebrows suddenly raised.

He didn't refuse at all and asked directly, "What's up?"

Jiang Xuening asked him to come over and say things in one ear, one way or another.

Xiao Dingfei was greatly puzzled upon hearing this and said, "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Xuening said, "Just say if it's possible or not."

Xiao Dingfei smiled, how could he lose face in front of a beautiful woman? Patting his chest, he said, "This matter is all up to me, just..."

Jiang Xuening looked at him and said, "What?"

Xiao Dingfei scratched his head and said, "If there are too many people, we'll have to spend some money."

Jiang Xuening frowned and calculated all the money she had in her mind. She remembered that there were still tens of thousands of taels of silver in Xie Wei's hand, which made her feel a little worried.

Just one more turn of the brain, and the eyebrows flatten again.

You Yue has been raising for a long time, and it's time to find a chance to kill her.

She smiled and said, "It's simple."
