Yin Wenhan couldn't get used to Yin Chujin's sudden change in attitude, but seeing how fascinated she was, he didn't want to discourage her, so he agreed.
"Let's talk in the pavilion!" As he spoke, he took a big step forward and pulled away from Yin Chujin. At the same time, he waved his hand to dismiss the guards following him.
Yin Chujin also gestured for Zhu'er to leave and followed him up the pavilion.
After entering the pavilion, Yin Wenhan did not wait for a greeting. He casually picked a stone stool and sat down. He took a peach from the fruit platter and threw it into the air before catching it and placing it in his mouth. At the same time, he asked vaguely, "Didn't you like purple clothes the most in the past? Why are you wearing white every day recently? Your pale and sickly face is really scary with white clothes on…"
His tone was very familiar. It was only when he finished speaking that he remembered that he had just brought an imperial sister over. Hence, Yin Wenhan quickly kept quiet.
Upon hearing this, Yin Chujin snickered in her heart. If she had to be honest, it was probably because she had said that Sheng Yiming was beautiful the first time she saw him, and that he looked even more flirtatious in purple. At the same time, she glanced at Sheng Yiming. He wouldn't always hold a grudge against her because of her words, right?
She saw that he was coughing softly at the side. When she got closer, she felt that his face was frighteningly pale, as if he would collapse at any moment.
Yin Chujin really admired him. His acting was too realistic. However, Wenhan and he referred to each other as senior and junior brothers, so he naturally knew his background. Moreover, he had exposed his identity in front of her. There were only the three of them in the gazebo. Who was he pretending for?
However, from Yin Wenhan's sudden silence just now, it seemed that Sheng Yiming did not tell Yin Wenhan about how he was "enemies" with her, nor did he reveal her true identity. This made her heave a sigh of relief. In that case, she was kind enough not to expose him.
"Second Brother, tell Jin'er about the fun things outside the palace!" Yin Chujin tried her best to put on an interested expression. Her mind was racing as she thought about how to throw the hairpin and the title deed back to Sheng Yiming without Yin Wenhan noticing. If it really didn't work, she would throw them under the stone table. He would find them one day!
Yin Wenhan thought for a moment and picked out some things that he thought girls liked to tell her. It was nothing more than where troupes were, and where rouge and makeup were the most famous and where there was a beautiful scenery.
Yin Chujin probably wasn't interested in what he was talking about and didn't know much about it either. His explanation was so bland that Yin Chujin wanted to yawn. However, she was afraid of exposing herself, so she could only try her best to look surprised.
As he spoke, Yin Wenhan also found it boring.
"Well, Jin'er, why don't we…" Yin Wenhan scratched his head innocently. He could not think of any excuse to divert her attention.
At this moment, Sheng Yiming coughed and sat between the two of them. He smiled palely at Yin Chujin and said, "I heard that Princess Jin's chess skills are extraordinary. I wonder if I can have the honor to play a round with you?"
When Yin Wenhan heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right. Yiming's chess skills are also good. The two of you can play a round to see who's better."
Chess? They probably weren't playing Chinese chess. Go? She only knew the basics.
Yin Wenhan was like the wind. As soon as he finished speaking, he brought out a Go board from a corner of the pavilion and pushed it in front of the two of them.
Yin Chujin glared at Sheng Yiming when Yin Wenhan wasn't paying attention. Last time, he wanted her to play the zither at the banquet. Now he wanted her to play Go, did he have to expose her?
"Second Brother, Jin'er doesn't want to play Go. I want to hear stories."
In order not to be forced to play Go, she even put on a shameless act. She was so shocked that she had goosebumps all over her body. When she saw the pastries on the table, she took one and placed it in her mouth. She nodded. "These pastries are delicious! If Second Brother and Prince Rui want to play chess, why don't you play? Jin'er can just watch from the side."
Sheng Yiming looked at her flustered expression in amusement. It seemed that this person in front of him was not good at zither or chess!
"Ahem, Princess Jin, you haven't gotten tired of these pastries after eating them for more than ten years? You can eat them while playing."
Yin Chujin was afraid that he would set a trap for her like last time, so she didn't answer him. Instead, she continued to enjoy eating piece by piece.
The Go game had already been set up. It seemed unreasonable for her not to accept the challenge. However, she really did not know how to play. If she really accepted the challenge, she would only embarrass herself.
"Second Prince, Consort Ying is looking for you! She said that she wants you to look for her at Xiying Palace."
Just then, Yin Wenhan's guard announced from outside the pavilion. The Consort Ying he was talking about was Yin Wenhan's biological mother. This was undoubtedly a great help to her.
