After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Chapter 31 Your Highness, have you eaten?

Yan Qingwan followed all the way to a hexagonal pavilion beside a pond.

The bamboo curtains hang down, swaying in the wind.

Princess Jiachang was sitting among them, but there was another person next to her. Judging from his clothes, it should be a man. Yan Qingwan did not dare to look at him for long.

Yan Qingwan walked to the front of the pavilion, bowed to Princess Jiachang, and said gently: "Your Highness, I greet you."

Princess Jiachang nodded with a smile, and a voice of praise followed: "You are Miss Yan, you are so beautiful that you can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame."

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess." Yan Qingwan lowered his eyes and smiled shyly.

The princess smiled slightly and continued, "Miss Yan, there is no need to be so reserved. I invited you here today because of the intention of someone close to me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan looked up in surprise, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in his eyes.

"Royal Aunt." A familiar and somewhat low voice sounded.

It turns out that the person in the pavilion is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Si Jinchen!

"Greetings, Your Highness." Yan Qingwan immediately bowed again.

Si Jinchen looked at the girl outside through the bamboo curtain, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and replied softly, "Miss Yan, long time no see."

Yan Qingwan was slightly stunned. They had just met yesterday!

The eldest princess saw all of this. She turned her head to look at the prince beside her, then smiled warmly at Yan Qingwan who was standing outside and said, "Miss Yan, come and sit over here."

Yan Qingwan smiled and nodded, walked a few steps into the pavilion, and sat down at one side with ease.

Princess Jiachang had a beautiful face as white as a silver plate and skin as white as cream. She had a dignified and steady temperament, and her every move exuded royal nobility.

She was wearing a gorgeous crimson purple gauze dress today, with a brocade belt tied around her waist, on which hung a purse embroidered with an exquisite lotus pattern. The purse swayed gently as she moved, and a fresh fragrance wafted to her face.

The princess observed the expressions of the two people and couldn't help but smile knowingly, and said cheerfully: "Miss Yan's performance outside just now is really impressive."

Yan Qingwan was slightly stunned, then said bluntly: "It is indeed rare to see someone this stupid and arrogant."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess was stunned at first, and then she burst out laughing.

The expression on Si Jinchen's face next to him trembled rarely, as if he didn't expect Miss Yan to answer like this.

He thought that Miss Yan was indeed a simple-minded, straightforward person, and that the girl from the Zeng family was indeed a bit stupid.

Princess Jiachang leaned forward, her eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Yan, what did you say? Yes, yes, yes, you are right... What were you thinking at the time? Why did you say it in such an ambiguous tone?"

Yan Qingwan: “…”

Can she say that she learned this from the Internet in later generations? The main theme is the yin and yang.

After all, such a statement is too strange and difficult to understand for the ancients.

She coughed lightly, lowered her head slightly, blinked her beautiful eyes, and replied softly: "At that time... I didn't think it through. This sentence suddenly popped up in my mind and I blurted it out directly."

"Interesting, really interesting." Princess Jiachang sat up straight, a smile on her face, and said, "You are so innocent. Don't be so outspoken in front of strangers in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan nodded shyly, then turned her gaze to the prince.

Princess Jiachang also looked over curiously when she saw this.

Si Jinchen calmly met Yan Qingwan's gaze. His eyes were deep and restrained, and he remained silent.

Princess Jiachang couldn't help but chuckled and asked with increasing curiosity, "Hey, why are you staring at Jinchen? Is there something going on between the two of you that I don't know?"

"Princess, I have met His Highness a few times, but I cannot say that we are strangers." Yan Qingwan explained softly.

Princess Jiachang raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. She looked at Si Jinchen with interest, chuckled, and said jokingly, "Oh, is that so? I didn't know how long it had been since Jinchen came back, and he already had a confidante. I wonder if my brother knows about this?"

Si Jinchen's gaze paused on Yan Qingwan's face for a moment, then moved away without leaving a trace. He smiled and said calmly, "Aunt Royal, you are joking. Father naturally knows about my affairs."

Princess Jiachang couldn't help laughing after hearing this. She stood up and walked out, saying, "Oh, I've been chatting with you for so long that I almost forgot that I still have to go to the lotus pond to greet guests. Jinchen, you stay and greet Miss Yan for me."

As she spoke, she had already walked out of the hexagonal hall. Seeing this, the maids not far away also hurried to follow her.

For a moment, only Si Jinchen and Yan Qingwan were left in the hexagonal pavilion.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Yan Qingwan suddenly felt a little at a loss.

She looked at Si Jinchen opposite her, opened her mouth, and almost said, "Your Highness, have you eaten?", but then she quickly closed her mouth.

How could I use the usual pick-up method of later generations to pick up the prince who is as handsome as Pan An? It's not appropriate.

But if she was asked to find a topic now, she couldn't come up with anything nice to say.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

Fortunately, after a while, Si Jinchen on the opposite side spoke.

"Miss Yan, can you play chess?"

Yan Qingwan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he quickly nodded and said softly, "I know a little."

In later life, she often watched the elderly grandfathers from the neighborhood playing chess together, and over time, she learned some of the skills.

Si Jinchen looked at Yan Qingwan with a smile, "Then let's play a game."

His voice was low and gentle, with an irresistible charm.

Yan Qingwan raised his head and met Si Jinchen's gaze, an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.

"Okay, but I haven't played for a long time, so I don't know if my skills have deteriorated." Yan Qingwan curled the corners of his lips and responded in a light tone.

When Si Jinchen heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and told Xiao Chengzi who was not far away. After a while, he brought the chessboard and some fruits and snacks.

Wait until the chessboard is placed in front of the two of them.

Si Jinchen gently stroked the chess piece, his eyes focused and deep.

Yan Qingwan took a look at the Go board on the table and felt a little relieved. She was quite good at this.

Si Jinchen glanced at Yan Qingwan opposite him calmly and said with a smile, "Miss Yan, please."

Yan Qingwan did not refuse, picked up the white piece and made the first move.

The game of chess began, with the two players going back and forth, neither giving in.

The black and white pieces are intertwined on the chessboard, like a silent battle.

As time went by, the first game ended quickly.

Yan Qingwan looked at the chess game in front of him and lamented that he had underestimated the gap between himself and Si Jinchen.

She was not discouraged. Instead, she looked up at Si Jinchen across from her with excitement, smiling, and said in a clear voice, "Your Highness, let's play another round."
