C454 Play chess with her

"So that's how it is. Then I'll go to the palace and tell the emperor that I won't be going to the imperial court anymore, and will be accompanying you there."

He played with her hair in an indistinct manner as he smiled.

Liu Ruo Qing shook his head, and said: "No need, isn't it boring for you to accompany me in the palace?

She smiled at him, feeling a pang in her heart.

Housekeeper Xu's earlier words of "there's no doubt that it's young son" still affected her.

She unintentionally sighed, Yan Yuan looked at her, and saw that her expression was a little gloomy, and his heart was a little uneasy.

Hearing Lu Yuan He say that a woman would become sentimental whenever she was pregnant, it seemed that even the normally optimistic Qing Er could not escape.

From the looks of it, he did need to ask the Kaiser for a period of leave, to properly stay at home to accompany her.

He reached out to grab her body: "Be a good boy and stay in the castle for a while. After the child is three months old, I will accompany you for a walk!"

Liu Ruo Qing sighed, this ancient era did not have much entertainment, and now they could not even go out to stroll around the streets.

However, she also knew that the child in her womb was a son of the royal family.

If something really happened, even if Yan Yuan ignored them, the ministers in the middle of the court would hold her back and talk incessantly.

Seeing her expression, Yan Yuan chuckled, he reached out and gently pinched her cheeks: "Be good, I'll go on leave with the emperor tomorrow, to accompany you in your residence, to accompany you in glaring at each other."

Liu Ruo Qing was amused by his words, and the worry in her heart lessened a little.

After some hesitation, she couldn't help but ask, "The housekeeper said that the baby is a son, but if it's a daughter, will you be disappointed?"

After hearing her question, the gaze on her face suddenly turned darker.

Liu Ruo Qing was a little uncomfortable from his gaze. She moved her face away from him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yan Yuan pinched his cheek again, "I was wondering why there was someone who was so dejected and unwilling to talk to me earlier, so it's because he was worried about this."

When Liu Ruo Qing saw the smile on his face, she became even more unnatural.

"What, you can't even ask?"

She pouted her lips and stared at Yan Yuan in dissatisfaction. She lightly pushed him away and said: "You haven't answered me yet."

The smile that was originally in Yan Yuan's eyes turned into helplessness, "You should think like those pedantic people no matter what. This king doesn't have a throne that I should inherit, so what do I have to do with my son?"

Liu Ruo Qing laughed again at his words.

The way she made jokes in front of him was really adorable.

"If this child can be randomly chosen between a man and a woman, I would like to have a few more daughters. Daughters are much more considerate than sons. Don't think too much about it. "

Regardless of whether Yan Yuan's words were from the bottom of his heart to comfort her, Liu Ruo Qing had comforted her a lot when she heard his.

Glancing at Yan Yuan, he still couldn't help but tease him: "You don't have a throne to inherit, but there is still a throne to inherit, isn't that so?"

Yan Yuan glanced at her snappily, and said: "I just want to talk poor with me everyday."

He bent over and picked her up, then walked into the house. "There's a breeze. Don't catch a cold when you go back inside."

Both of Liu Ruo Qing's arms were wrapped around his neck as she smiled from the corner of her eyes.

"Seeing how considerate you are, I still have to give birth to a son to inherit the throne."

When she attracted Yan Yuan's gaze, Liu Ruo Qing, who was in his embrace, started chuckling.

Yan Yuan's calm voice sounded out from her laughter. "If we give birth to a son, then we will continue to give birth until we give birth to a daughter."

Liu Ruo Qing's smile froze. When Yan Yuan placed her on a chair, she stretched out her leg and lightly kicked him, saying: "Do you take me to be a pig?"

"Even if it's a pig, I still love it. A pig that's stupid and has meat. This King loves it the most."

Under Liu Ruo Qing's "furious" glare, Yan Yuan laughed out loud.

"If you're bored, how about I play chess with you?"

"Chess?"

The corner of Liu Ruo Qing's mouth twitched, an ancient entertainment project was really … It really was … So boring.

However, the occasional chess game is pretty good, just think of it as a way to build up one's feelings and nurture the temperament of the child in your womb in advance.

"Sure."

After that, Yan Yuan got the butler to bring over the chess board.

Looking at the exquisite black and white hair, the corner of Liu Ruo Qing's mouth twitched.

If she told Yan Yuan that she only knew Aeroplane Chess and Wuzi Chess, would he laugh at her?

She had always felt that she was a rare talent who 'understood' everything. However, for things like Go, which tested one's IQ, she only knew the rules and didn't know how to play.

She sat down in front of Yan Yuan, holding onto the white piece in her hands, she stared at the Go Board thoughtfully. From the butler's point of view, she looked rather enigmatic and unfathomable.

Only Liu Ruo Qing herself knew that she couldn't understand the board game in front of her. She pretended to be deep in thought, as if she had some sort of special education.

Seeing her expression, Yan Yuan seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking. He smirked and waved to the butler: "Uncle Xu, you may leave, there is no need to wait on me here."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The butler looked at Yan Yuan thoughtfully.

Yan Yuan had a cold personality since he was young. Other than reading and playing chess, he had no other hobbies.

Even though Uncle Xu was only a steward of the palace, but as the saying goes, a fourth rank official in front of the Prime Minister's office, not to mention that he was also a steward of the mansion.

Moreover, in Yan Yuan's eyes, besides a butler, Uncle Xu was also a strategist.

However, since the court was at peace, there was no need for advisors. Thus, Uncle Xu assumed the position of housekeeper.

He had played chess with Yan Yuan many times, and even if he did not, he would wait on the side for him. After the King finished playing chess, he would discuss the outcome of the battle with Yan Yuan.

But now the prince had driven him away.

Could it be that the princess' chess skills were too superb that they had already surpassed him, so he didn't need to discuss it with her?

Uncle Xu was slightly disappointed.

However, it was nothing. It was good that the Prince had met someone who shared his interests.

After the butler left, Yan Yuan saw that Liu Ruo Qing was still holding onto the chess piece as she made his decision. She did not urge her, but just smiled at her.

After she finished, Yan Yuan looked at the messy chess game and asked, "Are you sure about this?"

People were always like this, once asked, they would become hesitant.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan's smiling face, thought for a while, and then picked up the white word again, "Let me think."

Yan Yuan looked at the messy board game and sighed. He thought to himself: I will never play chess with this girl again.
