C132 (2/2)
With just a single sentence, he had pushed her into the limelight. There was no way to dodge it.
”I have not played much chess before, but today I was lucky enough to get a draw.”
Wen Jiu summoned up his courage and smiled at everyone, ”Since Heavenly Girl is different from us, then she should be more than ordinary. Why don't we let Your Majesty try something else for her?”
Wanyan Hao racked his brains to think that this Heavenly Girl sending it to Zhao Yi must have some sort of plan.
Although the result of that match was a draw, just based on the fact that the other side was playing chess for the first time and it was still a 1v3, he had already won.
The two words ”a draw” were only meant to make it look better on the surface.
He had to pick one of the people below to crush Heavenly Girl to death.
”You're right.” Zhao Yi laughed, his gaze sweeping across the audience, ”Is there anyone else who would recommend themselves like the Crown Prince‘s Wife?”
For those like Li Yingyue, who were both talented and talented, there were very few who had reached the Dijing, let alone those who were afraid of the Emperor.
For a moment, no one replied.
After being in silence for too long, Old Emperor's expression slowly darkened.
Wanyan Hao suddenly opened his mouth and said, ”This subject believes that only Young Madame is able to tie with Heavenly Girl in a draw, so this subject thinks that she's someone extraordinary. Your Majesty, you might as well directly have her set the question.”
Wen Jiu gently held his hands under his sleeves.
The stage was quite high, and the wind was strong, so when she played chess here, her face was almost stiff from the blowing.
Now that Wanyan Hao had asked her to compete directly, wouldn't he just freeze her to death here?
It was simply sinister!
However, Old Emperor agreed, ”I see that Xie Family Young Madame is also a phoenix amongst men, so I will let you set the questions and try out the Heavenly Girl.”
Li Yingyue and Zhao Yu walked down the stage together, and when the little princess walked in front of her, she was even whispering in her ear, ”Think of the hardest! ”It'll be hard for her to die!”
At the very least, those aristocratic families' young talents knew how to use the zither, calligraphy and painting, as well as other kinds of talents.
The fingertips under Wen Jiu's sleeve caressed it, almost causing flames to burn.
He wants me to test the Heavenly Girl?
Why don't you just give me a blade, and see if I can directly kill this ”Heavenly Girl”?!
She raised her eyes and looked at the entrance of the palace. There was only the servant and the servant entering and exiting; not a single shadow of the youth could be seen.
On the other hand, Xie Xuan's gaze had been fixed on her the entire time.
Playing the string? Seven-string zither, pipa, zither …
In this aspect, Wen Jiu was not even comparable to the golden beauties below. Furthermore, if she were to lose to the ”Heavenly Girl”, not only would she fuel Wanyan Hao's anger, she might also be angered by the Old Emperor.
It's not a fun job.
It was clear that there was a strong gust of wind during the night and it was so cold that the droplets of water turned into ice. However, Wen Jiu's palms were sweating.
Wanyan Hao said: ”Young Madame doesn't need to give up, just give him a question, whether we win or lose is not important, it's just for his reputation.”
It was obvious that this person's chest was made of bamboo.
Wen Jiu looked at the lady in white who looked like a celestial being that didn't touch the mundane world, and said to the Old Emperor: ”Your majesty, please ask someone to bring me a few abacuses.”
”Abacus?” This time, even Zhao Yi revealed a puzzled expression.
”Yes, abacus.” Wen Jiu nodded, and turned to the white clothed female beside him. ”I have a problem that I haven't been able to solve for many years, and it just so happens to be the right time for today.
