You Tingrong hurried back to You Mansion, just in time to catch up with Third Yiniang coming out of the old lady's yard.

"Hey, the eldest lady is back."

The third aunt was punished by the old lady for copying the female rules. Her face was a little haggard, but her eyes were energetic.

You Tingrong had something on her mind and didn't want to get into more trouble with her, so she avoided her and planned to go back to her room.

"It seems that the eldest lady didn't see the person she met?" The third aunt didn't complain, she knew exactly what You Tingrong had done.

"Third Yi Niang still hasn't learned her lesson." You Tingrong shook off her hand, "You haven't learned how to stay out of things you shouldn't and say less about things you shouldn't."

Third Yiniang raised her eyebrows. She was about to be angry, but when she thought of something, she became proud and said with a smile: "The eldest lady taught you a lesson."

"I have been taught a lesson, but it is the eldest lady who still goes her own way." The third aunt held her head high and stood in front of You Tingrong, "The eldest lady doesn't know yet, but the second lady was promoted to the imperial concubine and got a good title."

You Tingrong's heart moved, "What account was sealed?"

"Feng's word is 'Shun'." Third Yiniang's smile became even brighter.

You Tingrong couldn't help but laugh, "Then congratulations to the second sister for getting a good title, third aunt, just wait and enjoy the blessings!"

After saying that, You Tingrong walked away, leaving the confused Third Yiniang behind.

It's so ridiculous. "Shun" is a warning to You Tingjiao to be obedient and obedient, but she still thinks it's okay?

"Aomachi, quickly find that chess set and show it to me."

Aomachi hadn't recovered from the news of the second young lady's promotion. After You Tingrong shouted again, he quickly took out the things from the top cabinet.

You Tingrong opened the box, threw the chess jar aside, and took out the chess board with difficulty.

This chessboard was made of gallwood. The chessboard was turned sideways to make 324 squares. After being assembled and glued strictly according to the texture, it was framed, painted, and marked. Fortunately, You Guitai didn't understand.

Knowing that the chess pieces were magnificent, I did not take a closer look at this inconspicuous chessboard.

You Tingrong explored the bottom with her fingers and felt the obvious unevenness.

His heart sank and he turned the chessboard over.

Sure enough, there was a carved mark in the lower left corner. The red blood marks had penetrated into the wood grain. The marks were rough and the blade was scrawled. It was definitely not the work of a craftsman.

The word "Huaisi" is Shan Yunxin's character, which means having a heart full of rivers and seas.

This chessboard was carved by Shan Yunxin himself when he was young. This chessboard was originally given by the late emperor and was of great significance to Shan Yunxin whose biological mother died young and was unable to support herself.

But not long after, the third prince, who was favored by the late emperor, took advantage of his power and asked Shan Yunxin for this thing. The late emperor could not help but begged and agreed.

Shan Yunxin took a knife and carved the word "Huai Si" on the bottom. Because he used too much force, the blade cut his palm, soaked in blood, and destroyed this priceless chessboard made of side-grabbed wood.

At that time, Shan Yunxin held her hand and led her to stroke the rough mark.

In the brightly lit Qianqing Palace, Shan Yunxin was close to her cheek, her noble and indifferent profile was filled with sadness and loneliness because of her low and hoarse voice.

The emperor, who was usually extremely noble, was so close to her at that moment, so close that she actually mistakenly thought she could walk into his heart.

It's really ridiculous to think about it now. In the previous life, I could only see his frustration, and I felt very distressed. I didn't realize at all that Shan Yunxin was willing to destroy the things he loved if he couldn't get them.

Why did Shan Yunxin reward her?

You Tingrong thought of that hairpin, and the cold wind invaded her muscles, making her feel terrified.

Yiqiu Palace

You Tingjiao just received the Jin title and returned from the Queen's residence.

Wearing the imperial robe, You Tingjiao sat in front of the mirror, admiring the crown on her bun with great joy. She looked at the furnishings in the room, took a deep breath, and showed joy on her face.

Qiao Xin timidly appeared at the door and moved stiffly closer.

You Tingjiao was feeling very proud and could not see her looking so unlucky, so she scolded: "Why are you acting like a dead person?"

Qiaoxin didn't even raise his head and said nervously: "Master, Dong Baolin invites you to come over."

You Tingjiao's heart trembled, fear appeared on her face, and her eyes were panicked. She glanced at herself in the mirror, and remembered that she was already a concubine. She held on and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll rest first."

"Shun Yunu, which muscle is uncomfortable?"

Dong Baolin's voice was separated only by a curtain, and it sounded like a reminder to You Tingjiao's ears. All her confidence was gone, and she could only glare at Qiao Xin fiercely.

"Concubine, please greet Baolin." You Tingjiao could only go out to greet Baolin honestly.

Dong Baolin sat in the main seat, with a full set of red gold and blue hair and face coverings on his head, clearly showing his good background.

Under the heavy makeup, she has plump cheeks and a slender chin, and her charming eyes are highlighted by red eyes, which look arrogant and even more aggressive.

"My status as a shunyu has changed. Do you still remember the rules you learned from me?" Dong Baolin smiled maliciously.

"I don't dare to forget you, concubine." You Tingjiao didn't dare to say no.

"That's good. I heard that Shun Yunv is a good pipa player. Qianqing Palace played the pipa for half the night last night, which shows that Shun Yunv has a pair of skillful hands!" Dong Baolin looked at his hands boredly.

You Tingjiao's heart was hanging in the air, her knees softened, and she knelt on the ground.

It is said to be a call for luck. There is only "call". Where does "luck" come from? She knelt on the gold bricks of Qianqing Palace last night and played the pipa all night. She was miserable.

But when faced with the jealousy of others, she didn't dare to distinguish a single word. If people knew that she was not favored, she would only be despised even more.

"Lv Ning, bring it up!" Dong Baolin became angry when he saw her pitiful appearance, "Please help me peel some chestnuts if you have good hands."

Although Dong Baolin was first in line to attend bed, he was still in perfect condition and only bore a false reputation. On the other hand, this lowly Youshi looked like he couldn't walk every time he went to bed. How could Dong not let Dong Baolin go to bed with him? Paulin holds a grudge.

You Tingjiao watched Lu Ning put down a basket of prickly chestnut balls, her eyes red with fear, "Baolin, spare your life..."

Dong Baolin was unmoved and said coldly: "Peel it off!"

You Tingjiao trembled and reached for the basket, unable to make up her mind.

Dong Baolin winked, and Lu Ning grabbed You Tingjiao's wrist and pushed her hand heavily into the sharp thorns, only to hear a series of heartbreaking screams.

"Oh! It's no coincidence that I'm here!" The voice came from the door. It was Chang Shun, the royal steward, who was wearing a purple woven floral robe.

Dong Baolin's expression changed, "I'm here to discipline the obedient women. What's important, Mr. Chang?"

Chang Shun turned a blind eye to You Tingjiao's sorrow and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Baolin will have to take a break. I, following the Holy One's decree, please Shun Yunu to go to Qianqing Palace."

Dong Baolin glanced at You Tingjiao, who was in tears, and said with a smile: "Shun Yunu is really lucky." It was almost dinner time, and it seemed that someone would be staying in Qianqing Palace again.

However, Chang Shun still had to give him face. After Dong Baolin nodded to Chang Shun, he left in a hurry.
