The moment he opened his mouth, the girls from the various families behind Wen Jiu all stopped.

Crown Prince‘s Wife was from an illustrious background, and the Go Saint was the one she mentioned about her grandfather. Seated below was her father, most of the new officials in the imperial court called her ”senior sister”.

All sorts of embroidery techniques were listed out for the zither, chess, calligraphy, paintings, and tea ceremony. The best choice was the chess skill, while there were still some people from the other families who could compete with her in terms of wealth; however, once on the chessboard, they would only lose their face.

”Alright.”

Zhao Yi laughed: ”Since that's the case, then someone, put up a board.”

Wanyan Hao replied respectfully: ”Heavenly Girl was born in the cold lands, I have never played chess with anyone, I hope that the Crown Prince‘s Wife can explain the rules of the board to her later.”

”She's never played chess?” Even someone as calm as Li Yingyue could not help but reveal a surprised expression, and then said: ”Does King Jin mean that my suggestion would cause Heavenly Girl to suffer?”

Wanyan Hao lowered his head: ”This subject dares not.”

”What does the Golden King mean?” Li Yingyue smiled slightly, filled with noble spirit, ”If Heavenly Girl really does not know, then it's fine to say it doesn't, but to have me teach, isn't that forcing people to do it?”

Wanyan Hao said: ”If Empress feels that this is a difficult task, why not add two more people to exchange pointers with the Heavenly Girl, after a few more rounds, maybe I will be able to do it.”

Li Yingyue curled his lips, revealing a hint of a mocking smile.

”What joke is this?” ”A person who has never played chess before actually wants to fight one against three?” Did the Golden King get kicked in the head by a donkey on the way to Dijing? ”

Wanyan Hao seemed to have completely heard their words, and turned to Old Emperor and asked, ”Please grant me your wish, Your Majesty.”

This person's stomach was full of scheming shrewdness, but he had the appearance of a weakling that everyone could bully.

Wen Jiu stared at him for the whole night, but he did not see any signs of him stopping, and when Xie Heng did not come again, he only saw Wanyan Hao as a demon.

She had just lost her mind.

The Old Emperor not far away said: ”Then let's choose two more.”

The white-clothed Heavenly Girl waved his hand, and two birds flew to the women's stand. One bird landed on Zhao Yu's table, and the other landed on Wen Jiu's shoulder.

Zhao Jingyi patted Wen Jiu's shoulder, ”If Xie Heng doesn't want to come, then you can go up.”

Just as she was about to speak, Zhao Yu who was two steps away stood up and said softly: ”I don't know how to play chess, you decide.”

Wen Jiu laughed bitterly: ”... I don't either. ”

Zhao Yu stared at her, ”How can you not?!”

Wen Jiu whispered: ”When we were young, our family was poor, and had no one to teach us.”

Little Princess: ”…”

You have a poor family, do you still have a sense of justice?

When Wen Jiu stood up, he clearly heard the sigh of relief from the noble ladies behind him.

It would be better to say that it was a spar, but winning would naturally mean nothing. If he lost, he would probably not even be able to lift his head up in Dijing in the future.

The two pieces of chess basket were pushed onto the shelf and they walked forward together. The little princess closed her eyes as she walked and was about to fall forward.

Wen Jiu immediately held her up, and whispered: ”Actually there are some that don't know how to go down, and there will be some that won't know how to go down, the princess will just fall down, and no matter how you try, as long as you act fast enough, she won't have much time to think, and that will be your win.”

Zhao Yu flung her hands away and glared at her fiercely.

Wen Jiu gave her a ”you can” gaze, and a moment later, the two of them opened their eyes and sped up their footsteps at the same time.
