”How is that possible?” Chen Cheng obviously did not believe it.

He had clearly calculated just now that Wei Qing should have won by half a son.

Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing with a deep and profound gaze. To be able to draw the two of them evenly, Wei Qing was truly not simple. And this act of kindness made Xiao Qingqian feel even more proud.

Just as Xiao Qingqian had said, it was indeed a draw in the end.

This was hard for everyone to accept.

”You did it on purpose.” Xiao Qingqian whispered into her ear.

Wei Qing smiled, ”How did you know?”

”Your little mind!” He lovingly pinched Wei Qing's nose.

”It hurts!” Wei Qing glared at him furiously.

If He Yue lost to her, Chu Yin would definitely look down on her even more.

Originally, due to the matter between her and Chu Yin, He Yue already had a rather deep impression of him. If He Yue were to lose this time around, the conflict between the two of them would surely intensify.

Previously, Chu Yin and Long Xiaotian were very close, but if He Yue had advised them from the inside, perhaps Chu Yin would still have some misgivings. However, if it was because of today's game of chess, and He Yue approved of Chu Yin's decisions, then's enemies would probably increase even more in the future.

Similarly, if she were to lose, it would cause many of the people of the Northern Kingdom to feel that their abilities were lacking, and would also lose face for her father.

Being able to tie was the best outcome!

The gambling was over, and only the empress dowager was able to make a profit!

He Yue and Wei Qing were tied for first, while the Southern and Northern Kingdoms each got one point.

Old Emperor shook his head and sighed, ”Imperial Mother, are you not a prophet?”

The empress dowager could only smile faintly, as she looked at Wei Qing with eyes full of gratification.

'As expected of the girl she values. To be able to put importance on the big picture, she must definitely have great accomplishments in the future! '

Unconsciously meeting the empress dowager's gaze, Wei Qing smiled at her.

When everyone left the competition grounds, they discovered that the sun had already set.

”Princess Chu!” Just as Wei Qing was about to leave the competition grounds, He Yue called out to her.

”Is there something you need from Princess Yue?” Wei Qing asked.

”You clearly could have won before!”

He Yue also thought that Wei Qing would definitely win by half a son. This way, she wouldn't lose too much face.

But in the end, it turned out to be a draw, which made He Yue unable to understand Wei Qing's intentions.

Wei Qing smiled charmingly, ”Princess He Yue, right now, the four kingdoms are peaceful and the common people live and work happily. However, there are always some people with ambitions who want to cause chaos in the world so they can profit from this. I think that since Princess He Yue is so intelligent, she would definitely be able to understand it! ”

He Yue naturally knew who this person was, but the so called ”women cannot participate in politics”, so it was impossible for her to interfere with who Chu Yin was cooperating with.

”Princess He Yue, I'll be leaving first.” Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian held hands and left the competition grounds.

Once they had boarded the carriage, Xiao Qingqian said, ”You haven't finished speaking just now.”

”She's so smart to be able to tell that I intentionally tied. How could she not understand what I mean? Moreover, if she really can't figure it out, then she will try to find out. ”

Xiao Qingqian nodded and patted the seat beside him, ”Sit over here.”

Wei Qing raised her eyebrow, and patted the seat beside him: ”Why can't you sit over here?”

”Be good!” He softened his voice and coaxed.

Wei Qing pursed her lips, ”I don't want to sit.”
