C298 victor (2/2)

”But in the end, it was just one move away.”

Although the woman was a bit unwilling, when she admitted her wrongs, she did it quickly. Mu Ru Yue didn't expect this person, who had been arguing back then, to admit defeat so easily.

Besides, in her eyes, if Han Lian continued to play chess, she might not lose to her. But now, Han Lian was voluntarily admitting defeat. This was truly unimaginable.

The empress dowager had never thought that this girl she had relied on for so many days would actually lose in chess to someone she didn't see as worthy. He could not help but say in displeasure, ”Since you know that you are lacking, you should work even harder in the future. Don't run around, but instead study chess at This Dowager's place.

If you lose the next time, this one will not only punish you, but also behead you. ” The empress dowager said unkindly.

The woman blessed herself and seemed to accept this outcome before quietly withdrawing.

If one were to say that Mu Ru Yue had won, the happiest person would undoubtedly be Princess Wuyou. As a princess, whether it was for herself or for her mother's concubine, she didn't wish to allow a maid to overstep her boundaries here.

She could not say that all men were equal. At the very least, she couldn't do so in front of outsiders. If she had really gone out of her way to repent today, there would be some blind people coming tomorrow to grind the two of them.

The empress dowager's promise before, as well as Mu Ru Yue's victory at this moment, all served as fuel in a snowstorm.

”Esteemed empress dowager, since I've won, what happened to the previous agreement?”

”This Dowager will naturally keep her word. The matter of repentance today will save me the worry.” The empress dowager said indifferently. She recited the beads in her hands a little faster as if she was anxious.

”Thank you, Royal Grandmother.” Princess Wuyou stood up and said.

When the empress dowager heard this, she nodded as if she had thought of something. Suddenly, she said warmly, ”Wuyou, this one remembers that you are also going to marry the young master of the Qin family.”

When these words were spoken, Princess Wuyou's face turned slightly pale. However, she still answered: ”It was royal father's order in reply to royal grandmother's words.”

”Your Majesty's order is quite ridiculous. You're just a young boy with golden branches and jade leaves. If I go alone, who knows what kind of trouble I might cause.” This is why I ask the emperor to let the butterfly girl accompany you.

When we arrive at the Qin family, you will be the big one and she the little one. Don't insult her. Otherwise, this one will not be allowed to! ” As the empress dowager spoke, her loving gaze fell upon Princess Dian Xiang.

If she didn't know, she would really think how much she loved Princess Die Xiang.

But in fact?

This was just a pawn the empress dowager used to punish Princess Wuyou and to consolidate her rights. It was no wonder that Princess Die Xiang wanted to marry Feng Chen.

In her eyes, Feng Chen was probably the best person to help her escape from the vortex of despair, right? As Mu Ru Yue thought about this, she couldn't help but feel emotional.

”Royal Grandmother, your granddaughter will definitely not disappoint you.” Princess Wuyou squeezed out these words through her gritted teeth, yet she still forced a smile on her face. She was afraid that the Empress Dowager would see through him.

Seeing that Princess Wuyou was so tactful, the empress dowager nodded her head in satisfaction. ”That's more like it. According to what I've said, the palace's atmosphere is far worse than mine back then.”

If it were in the past, you little girls would have gone back to learning the rules. ” Her Majesty said.

When everyone heard this, they all became silent.

As he spoke, he saw the door open. The scent of sandalwood wafted in. Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. He looked towards the door and heard a court lady shouting, ”The Imperial Advisor is here!”

Compared to when he was outside, everyone was chasing after him. In this palace, everyone seemed to be a lot more reserved. The empress dowager did not even move.

It was as if he didn't hear her. Princess Yun Rou was also tasting the tea. It was unknown what Princess Die Xiang and Murong Xi were thinking.

The only one who was excited was probably Princess Wuyou. She believed in fate the most, and she valued the State Grandmaster the most. If it wasn't for Princess Wuyou, Mu Ru Yue wouldn't have known this person.

At this moment, a man clad in a light purple robe embroidered with bamboo leaves could be seen. His long hair was tied up in a bun, giving him a sense of desolation.

He walked over and said to the empress dowager, ”I pay my respects to the empress dowager.”
