There was a rumor outside that the old emperor's people had already entered the Qingtang Courtyard.

What is the majesty of the biggest ruler of a feudal dynasty, Xia Chuqi has only seen it in TV dramas. In the past few days, she has also thought about what to think when she sees this legendary son of heaven who can be literate, able to fight well, and wise and knowledgeable at the Zhonghe Festival. But the old emperor suddenly came to the Jin Palace, and caught her off guard, and she realized that when it came to the end, she actually didn't have any ideas.

Facing the difficulties, I have to go up!

The girls inside and outside the Qingtang Courtyard are always easy-going and the guards, all of them are smart people, and when they get the letter, they are afraid of being left behind, like the dumplings in the pot, kneeling on the ground all the way, and shouting long live in fear.

Xia Chuqi took over with everyone, and this time he also knelt very neatly.

Calling out "long live", and then listening to the sound of "long live" in my ears, my ears were numb, and my heart was also throbbing and numb.

The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, is indeed well-known.

She knelt on the ground, did not look up, and did not hear the old emperor shouting "flat", only to feel a burst of fluttering robes and footsteps in her ears, and when she looked up again, she saw that the old emperor had already taken Cui Yingda straight through the kneeling crowd and went directly to the inner room of Qingtang Courtyard.

Obviously, the old emperor knew about Zhao Ziyue.

His anger is also furious!

After a moment of silence {}{small} said 3w.ybdu, Xia Chuqi followed in an orderly manner under Zhao Zhu's eyes, and entered Zhao Ziyue's house together.

Previously, in order to let Zhao Ziyue sleep well, the lights in the room were not bright. But now that the Lord is here, the maids have lit a few more candles on the candlestick again. For a while, the light in the room was bright, reflecting the old emperor's face even more gloomy, and behind the curtain, Zhao Ziyue, who was lying quietly with loose sideburns, looked more and more pale.

"Daughter......

This was the first sentence that Xia Chuqi heard when he heard Emperor Hongtai.

The voice was soft, kind, and heart-wrenching. He didn't call Zhao Ziyue's name, just the word "daughter" that ordinary fathers often call, which made him walk off the altar, and there was no difference in his mood when he saw his daughter who was uncertain.

It also proves once again that Zhao Ziyue is indeed deeply favored.

After all, for the Emperor of the Heavenly Family, the last thing he lacks is his children, dozens of children, if they all love them so much, then where can they love them? Now I have changed my regular clothes overnight, and there is only one reason...... I really love Zhao Ziyue.

Emperor Hong Tai held Zhao Ziyue's hand and whispered words of encouragement and comfort for a while before he let out a long sigh, his shoulders moved slightly, and the person turned around slowly.

As soon as he turned his head, his face sank resolutely, and his cold eyes swept away, and the room was so quiet that he could hear a pin drop. And his calm and waveless voice was like the sharpest knife, piercing directly into Xia Chuqi.

"Chu Qi!"

He didn't need a referral before he recognized her.

Also, in this room, she is a "man".

Slightly stunned, Xia Chuqi stepped forward and knelt down, "Chen Chuqi sees the emperor." ”

Emperor Hong Tai sat on the edge of Zhao Ziyue's bed, looking at him motionlessly. After looking at it for a while, I don't know what I thought, it seems that it is difficult to hide the sadness for the woman, and the originally calm voice suddenly became a little excited.

"I promised you my daughter, but I gave you a couch?"

"Her Royal Highness the princess is beautiful, gentle and beautiful, and unyielding." With his head down, Xia Chuqi bit these words very clearly, his expression was respectful, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Good. Then I came to ask you, if you don't dare, why did you harm my daughter? ”

"The minister never thought of hurting the princess......"

Xia Chuqi slowly spoke, but before the voice fell, the old emperor was furious.

"Dare to quibble?! If you didn't do any harm, why did my daughter lie here and stay awake? ”

Isn't that unreasonable? Xia Chuqi muttered in his heart, but he had to admit that the old emperor was the Son of Heaven, and he really had the power to be unreasonable. Silently raising her head, she gritted her teeth, and had to follow the old emperor's words, not daring to mention "unwillingly" for half a sentence.

"The minister has to match the princess, that is the glory of the ancestors, the minister can't ask for it, but the world is unpredictable, today something like this happened, the minister was afraid, but he was indeed wronged......"

Emperor Hong Taidi sank his face and asked slowly.

"So, you're willing to be a colt?"

The scalp was a little numb, and Xia Chuqi lowered his eyes and bit word by word.

"The minister is willing."

"Okay, since you are willing, then ......" Emperor Hong Taidi looked at her coldly, with a touch of complicated emotions in his old eyes, there was hatred, resentment, resentment, and majesty, and those emotions were mixed together, and the chill increased sharply. After a pause, he didn't wait for Xia Chuqi to feel the taste of his words, but he suddenly turned his face away and let out a low snort.

"Choi Young-da!"

"The servant is here—" The old eunuch bowed and came.

As if he had already made up his mind or arranged an ending for her, Emperor Hong Tai calmed down emotionally, looking at Xia Chuqi, under the thick eyelids that were half-squinted, the eyes were full of murderous energy, cold, and there was no emotion at all.

"Bring it on!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Yingda, a very sensible and extremely sensible servant who understands the holy will, has been following Emperor Hongtai for a long time, and he doesn't need any more instructions, waving the dust, a little eunuch dressed in a round-necked regular dress came up with a gilded tray.

At the bottom of the tray, there is a layer of soft red silk cloth, on which is placed a white jade-like crystal wine jug, next to the wine jug is a whole jade wine glass, the wine glass has been filled with wine, and the Seiko gilt tray and dots, like white jade falling red, looks very good-looking.

"I will reward you with this wine."

What the?! Emperor Hong Tai said as soon as he spoke, and Xia Chuqi's head was like a muffled thunder. Suddenly felt that his blood was not surging, and now that he was sentenced to death on the spot, he was about to lose his breath.

The word "reward" plus a glass of "wine" came out of the emperor's mouth, and the meaning was naturally different. And Xia Chuqi has seen too many episodes of giving poisoned wine and white silk before, and it is not too unusual for this matter. But the only thing that is strange is that the first time he sees the old emperor, he wants to give her a death? He doesn't care if his eldest son and youngest daughter live or die?

Yu Guang glanced at him, and she didn't dare to determine what the emperor really thought in his heart.

Her heart was pounding in a chaotic rhythm, and she was trying to figure out how to answer, but she was patted on the shoulder comfortingly. When she looked up, she saw Zhao Zhu's bottomless but extremely reassuring eyes.

Weirdly, she smiled at him.

She was going to be given poisoned wine, and she didn't know why she was laughing.

Maybe he was grateful that he could stand up for himself in front of his father.

Zhao Zhu stopped her with his eyes, but did not speak to her, but just knelt beside her uprightly.

"Father, Ziyue lives in the son's mansion, if such a thing happens, if the father must be held accountable, the son-in-law bears the brunt and should drink this glass of wine."

Emperor Hong Taidi glanced at him, his face had already calmed down, and no one could guess what his mood was.

"Old Nineteen, are you threatening me?"

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Zhao Yu glanced sideways at Xia Chuqi, and said, "Erchen just doesn't want the situation to expand and damage Ziyue's reputation." And Ziyue likes to be a colt, if she wakes up and learns that her father killed her pony, how should she deal with herself? ”

"Like him?" Emperor Hong Tai snorted heavily, "Don't think I don't know what this girl has in mind?" If it weren't for you, why would she be here? Now, old nineteen, do you still want to protect this person? ”

He swept Xia Chuqi obliquely, his eyes full of annoyance.

Zhao Zhu didn't look up, but just presented the things in his arms.

"This is Ziyue's handwriting, please take a look at it."

Cui Yingda glanced at the old emperor, bowed over, and handed the "suicide note" of Zhao Ziyue in Zhao Zhu's hand to the old emperor.

A thin piece of paper, just a few lines of words, is indeed Zhao Ziyue's handwriting. The old emperor only looked at the two lines, his eyes were already red, his hands were trembling, and his face was full of wrinkles, but it added a bit more to the cold.

"Okay."

As if he had calmed down first, he looked at Xia Chuqi again and continued, "Count your good life." Since Ziyue and Lao Nineteen have interceded for you, then I will show you another path today. ”

Provoked by his cold voice, Xia Chuqi only felt that his knees were sore, and he lowered his head.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

"You make a bet with me." Slowly, Hong Taidi said.

Bet on a game?

She thought she had heard something wrong, and raised her head with a "whoosh".

But Emperor Hongtai's eyes told her that yes, this old emperor might really be a gambler, and he really wanted to casually say that he wanted to gamble with her at such a solemn moment of "killing".

She was surprised, but the old emperor was in a calm mood, and then said, "A game is sure to win." If you win me, I will not only spare you, but will continue to make you my master. If you lose, you must drink this glass of wine, and it is useless for anyone to intercede. ”

Xia Chuqi finally understood.

It turns out that when the old emperor said that he was betting on a game, he meant playing chess, that is, Go.

But although she is versatile, she can play against each other, can play flying cars, can fight landlords, can play mahjong, can fight to the end, and can also play Sword Net Three and even World of Warcraft, but she can't play chess, chess, let alone something as tall as Go.

Even if the old emperor doesn't know that she can't play chess, can he still not know that she can't play him? !

Speaking of which, isn't it a disguised attempt to kill her?

Leaning down deeply, she sighed in her heart, and her tone was quite calm.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister can't play chess."

Emperor Hong Tai was really not surprised, withdrew his gaze, and stopped looking at her.

"Choi Young-da!"

shouted Cui Yingda again, and as soon as the slave was instructed, he respectfully answered "yes", then took the tray in the hand of the little eunuch, stepped forward, and prepared to personally "wait" for her to drink.

"Master Pony, please?"

The palms of his hands were clenched, Xia Chuqi's heart was beating suddenly, from the calm and confident at the beginning to the wine was about to be handed to his mouth, and he had to be a little flustered.

She has not avenged her revenge, and the man has not been gained, is she going to die at the hands of a glass of poisoned wine?

Biting the corner of her mouth, her brain was spinning rapidly, and she was thinking about how to phrase it, so that she could euphemistically use the illness of the crown prince and Zhao Ziyue to coerce him to compromise without offending the old emperor, when she could hear Zhao Tuo snorting in a low voice.

"Slow!"

She was suddenly shocked in her heart, for fear that he would turn against the emperor on the spot for herself and make a big deal of it, so she hurriedly looked sideways, wanting to give him a "don't be impatient" look. However, Zhao Zhu didn't look at her, but only looked at Emperor Hong Tai with deep eyes.

"Father, she doesn't know how to play chess, everyone knows it."

"Then I can't complain." Emperor Hong Taidi still refused to let go, "Old Nineteen, you don't have to intercede for him. ”

Zhao Jun pursed his lower lip, "Erchen can teach her." ”

"Teach her?" Emperor Hong Tai snorted coldly, "When does that have to be taught?" You have the leisure to teach, but I have no patience. ”

"It only takes half an hour!"

Zhao Zhu's calm voice did not shock Emperor Hongtai, but it scared Xia Chuqi so much that half of the three souls and six spirits floated away. God, in half an hour, she estimated that it would be difficult for her to learn to play chess, let alone win the head in front of her, oh no, this old emperor.

Such a ridiculous request, she thought that the old emperor would not agree.

However, he never expected that the old emperor just looked at his son quietly for a while, the old face that had been wrinkled by wind and frost, but his expression slowly relaxed, and he waved his hand calmly, letting Cui Yingda retreat with the tray, and then asked Zhao Zhu with a complicated expression.

"Old Nineteen, have you thought about it?"

"Erchen has thought about it." Zhao Zhu's throat moved, and he met his gaze.

"Good! Then I will allow you once. ”

……

……

Half an hour is a short time.

Half an hour to decide her fate?

I don't understand why Zhao Zhu is so confident, Xia Chuqi has nothing in his heart, as if he was blocked with a ball of cotton, and he can't speak. has been silent, she followed Zhao Zhu to the side hall of Qingtang Courtyard. There, Zheng Erbao had already set up the chessboard, prepared tea, and stood there quietly.

Glancing at the dazzling black and white figures in the mahogany chess box, she sighed.

"Although I am smart and intelligent, I am really a rookie to play chess, and I don't know anything at all, so you don't have to waste your mind anymore."

Zhao Zhu glanced at her, didn't speak, just waved his hand to send back the others in the side hall, grabbed her hand, pressed her to the chair on the chessboard, pinched his shoulder, and said lightly.

"It doesn't matter."

It doesn't matter?

Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes in tears, "It's not for your life, of course it doesn't matter?" After that, I think this cold joke is really not too cold, and it is not suitable for use at this time. Glancing at him, she pursed her mouth, helplessly played with the chess pieces, and seemed to laugh.

"Okay, don't bother teaching me, even if I learn it in half an hour, I won't be able to beat your father. It's better for the two of us to take advantage of this last half an hour to have a good chat and say everything we have to say, so that I don't have regrets when I go to Huangquan Road. ”

Zhao Ru didn't speak, only the hand that held her shoulder tightened.

"How could you let you go to danger?"

"You don't want to, but your father is the emperor, who can stop him from killing people?"

Zhao Zhu's eyes fell on her mouth and suddenly sighed.

"Ah Qi, what do you see I'm talking about?"

Belch? Xia Chuqi squinted, but saw that he only moved his mouth and didn't make a sound.

Her eyes lit up, "Lip language? ”

Zhao Zun frowned, and his mouth moved again, "What is lip language?" ”

Coughing lightly, Xia Chuqi suddenly reacted, lip language belongs to the study of later generations, and it is impossible for Zhao Zhu to understand it. After a moment's pause, she explained, "Lip language means to interpret the content of someone by looking at their lips and movements. ”

Zhao Zhu's gaze swept lightly over her face.

Then he let go of his hand and sat down across from her.

"That's lip talk."

Xia Chuqi was shocked.

How could the Nineteenth Master have such an advanced consciousness?

You know, lip language is very simple to say, but it's not an easy skill to master. In addition to observing the lips, eyes, expressions, and movements of a person when they speak, it takes a lot of practice, but for beginners, it is necessary to have a considerable degree of understanding of the person who is speaking. In other words, there must be a certain tacit understanding with each other.

If you change the person on the side, you will definitely not be able to deal with it.

But Xia Chuqi is different, lip language, gestures, for her special forces, although she is not as professional as the front-line special combat team, she does have a certain foundation. What's more, at this time, she doesn't need to analyze so much, she only needs to practice and figure out the professional skills of Go and him.

Time flies -

In the next half an hour, she and Zhao Zun did not have time to fall in love, nor did they have time to confess their last words to her, in addition to teaching her the basic moves and techniques of Go, Zhao Zun trained the tacit understanding of the two people with her. The eyebrows, the eyes, the lips, the fingers, as soon as he moved slightly, she had to know immediately what step he let herself take, and how to go.

In fact, strictly speaking, what two people do is not called lip talk, but more like how to "get out of the old man" of gambling people, it doesn't matter if she can play chess or not, as long as Zhao Bottle is a chess king.

"Phew!"

After a perfect match, Zhao Zhu's face was relaxed, but Xia Chuqi was so tired that he collapsed on the chair.

"Zhao Nineteen, you are too handsome."

"Huh?" Zhao Zhu obviously didn't know why.

"Always look at your face, girl, I'm too easy to be a nymphomaniac and can't concentrate."

“……”

Seeing that he was silent with a dark face, Xia Chuqi smacked his tongue.

"Don't believe me?"

With a faint "hmm", Zhao Zhu was still silent about her "compliment", but just reached out and flicked the mahogany chess box in front of him.

"Let's go, the hour is coming."

Ya is a bad scenery!

Seeing that the hourglass in the room was falling little by little, she suddenly put down the chess pieces in her hand and asked with a sigh, "You said that your father's mind is really hard to guess." How could he not consider the life and death of the crown prince? Will you kill me when you come? Poor me, a good man, has not yet married a princess, and is about to become a ghost under his sword. ”

Zhao Zhu's expression was calm, "Relax, the scourge will always last for a thousand years!" ”

"Hey, I said you, I'm going to die, and you don't know how to say a good word to me?" Xia Chuqi muttered and glared at him, pushed away the chair and walked in front of him, stood still, looked at him, and suddenly squatted down again, leaned over, hugged his waist, and lowered his voice.

"I know you have confidence in your own chess skills, but your father's level of chess must be very good, right? I'm a novice on the road, so I'm inevitably panicked, and even if you specify it on the side, I don't know what the result will be. ”

Zhao Jun frowned, and his palm fell on top of her head.

"Don't be cranky, meditation is the most important thing."

With a light "um", Xia Chuqi tightened his arm, put his head on his lap, and said lightly, "Master, if I still lose and have to drink that cup of poisonous wine, then I ...... Ahem, I have a word for you in advance. ”

"What?" He moved his fingers and stroked her face.

"If I'm dead, don't screw it. A daughter-in-law should marry a daughter-in-law, and a concubine should be a concubine. Man, you are a prince again, this great resource is not used, even I feel that I have ruined the heavens......"

Seeing that the corners of Zhao Zhu's mouth twitched, she couldn't help but sigh again.

With a change of movement, she clubbed her chin on his thigh and looked up at him.

"Also, your head stroke is the most difficult to cure. On the desk in my ear room, there is the crystal inkstone you gave me, and under the inkstone is a lot of recipes that I have written. Those recipes are all I have worked on these days, and because I have not experimented with them, I dare not give them to you casually. If I'm not there, you have to find someone to try the medicine first, and you can use it if you think it works, you know? I have been insisting on taking it, the side effects of the prescription I prescribed are small, even if you don't have me, you keep eating, even if you can't cure the root, you can save the root, and you won't die in middle age, how can you protect an old man. ”

Zhao Jun looked down at her and didn't say anything.

Smiling at him, Xia Chuqi said again, "It's just that when you are old and ugly with gray hair, this head disease may recur." When the time comes, if you are in severe pain, come to Huangquan Road to find me. I'm still waiting for you there, and I can heal you somewhat! ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Zhao Zhu rubbed her face, "Then you can't slaughter a penny?" The master came down to look for you, but he didn't have any money on him. ”

Xia Chuqi smiled reluctantly, "That's not necessary, but it's ......"

He had been quiet, and when he saw her pause, he raised his eyebrows, "But what?" ”

Curling her lips slightly, she got up and sat on his lap, burying her face in the socket of his neck.

"But don't bring your woman with you. You know, I'm not a good master. I can't see any other women around you, so if you come alone, I'll give you free. If you bring the woman next to you, not only will I not treat you, but I will have to pierce you into the eighteenth layer of hell with one needle, or make you a man for the rest of your life, and you can't do the things of a man......"

Zhao Jun looked at her wet eyes, didn't speak, just hugged her tightly.

"Zhao ......," she called his name. For her, his name is a sign of equality.

"Huh?" He asked.

"Zhao Bottle......" she shouted again.

"Master is here, say it quickly, the hour is running out."

The hour was running out, and she bit her lower lip and didn't say anything.

"You're also a good one." He sighed, lifted her waist, took her whole body into his arms, and patted her on the back lightly.

"Zhao Bottle......" Xia Chuqi hugged him tighter, until it was so tight that the two of them were impenetrable, she sneered, "Actually, I don't have anything to say, I just think you are so fragrant, I want to smell more." ”

It's so fragrant, it changed Zhao Shijiu's black face.

Men probably don't like people to say that he is fragrant, but Xia Chuqi really thinks so. In fact, it is not the smell of incense, it is like a breeze, as long as you get close to him and fall into his arms, you can feel the warm, fiery, and quiet fragrance that seems to be nothing, which is a unique smell of Zhao Shijiu.

She refused to admit it before, but now she is about to go to the "casino" of gambling......

She realized that she had always been so reluctant.

……

……

"Your Majesty is waiting for you at the Moon Invitation Pavilion!" A little eunuch in the palace was waiting at the door.

Zhao Zhu nodded lightly, "Okay." ”

The two of them led five or six girls to the guards, and walked all the way to the Invitation Moon Tower.

The courtyard of the Jin Wangfu is really big, from the Qingtang Courtyard out, and then through two courtyards, through several corridors, it took half a cup of tea to arrive at the Inviting Moon Pavilion in the middle of the back garden.

The so-called Inviting the Moon refers to the higher terrain of this pavilion, going up along the bluestone steps one by one, there is an open place, the pavilion is surrounded by a wooden fence, at this time the night opens, the Inviting Moon Pavilion under the lights looks gorgeous and leisurely.

A group of girls, eunuchs, and guards all stayed under the Inviting Moon Pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, the lights were bright, but there was no sound at all.

The emperor sat alone on the edge of the marble chessboard, and there was only one standing Cui Yingda beside him, holding the tray filled with poison in his hand, motionless and dignified.

Xia Chuqi's heart was heavy, and he was the first to kneel down and salute.

"Chen Chuqi, see Your Majesty."

Emperor Hong Taidi put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyelids, and did not call her up, but slowly and leisurely aimed at Zhao Zhu behind her, and said lightly.

"Old Nineteen, I haven't played chess with you for a long time, I wonder how your chess skills are now?"

Zhao Tuo knelt on one knee and stepped forward to salute, "Back to my father's words, my sons and daughters are not proficient in learning, and they dare not compare with their father's amazing chess skills." ”

"You, just be cautious." Emperor Hong Tai smiled slightly, "Since you don't dare to compare with me, why do you dare to let the apprentices you teach compare with me?" Well? ”

The intensity of this question was very strong, and Xia Chuqi heard it with a standing of hair.

But Zhao Zun remained silent, "Erchen is desperate." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Hong Tai raised his voice, looked at him for a moment, and asked in a word, which made Xia Chuqi tremble, "It turns out that in this world, there are also people who are worth my old nineteen desperate bets?" ”

"I hope my father will be perfected."

Zhao Zhu's eyes were calm, but Emperor Hong Tai's gaze was very deep and his expression was bleak.

"Perfection or non-perfection is all in this game of chess. That's up to providence! ”

Playing chess is still providential?

At the beginning of the summer, there was a feeling of "woo-hoo-wail".

Thinking about how she feels about black and white now, but she has to fight against others, and the person who fought the first duel is the current emperor, a character who can make her die with a sigh, she has to admit that her psychological quality is really not as good as she imagined. At this time, her heart was like clockwork, and it kept pounding, so that she had an illusion that the father and son were talking about chess on the surface, but it was clear that it was not just "talking about chess".

kneeling quietly, listening, her palms were already sweaty, and she said in her heart: If you play chess, you will play chess, and if you want to die, why is the old emperor so neat as written in the martial arts novel, before fighting and killing, you have to have a debate?

"Get up—"

Just when her knees were about to go numb, the old emperor's "greetings" were finally over, and his eyes fell on her again. Secretly relieved, she took a deep sip before getting up and sitting across from him.

"Your Majesty, the minister will be ugly."

Emperor Hong Tai didn't respond, but took the lead in bringing Baizi over, that handsome face, with that every move, there was still a bit of Zhao Zhu's charm. Looking at him closely, Xia Chuqi dispelled the conjecture that Zhao Zhu was not the emperor's biological son, and felt more and more that the emperor's heart was unfathomable.

It's all his son, why are you so cruel to Zhao Zhu?

After a moment of overturning in her heart, she retracted her mind and concentrated on the chessboard.

The old emperor took the white son and took the lead in Sanliu, forming the best angle of aggression for her.

Xia Chuqi held the black chess, observed Zhao Zhu's expression, and responded to the ninety-three, with two points positive, advancing and retreating to a certain extent and holding him in a position. Seriously speaking, she doesn't have any chess style, but she also has some insights when she plays chess with Zhao Zhu these days. So even if she is in battle for the first time, her posture and movements are still in place, her fall is crisp and undoubted, and her demeanor is comfortable.

After a few hands, Emperor Hong Tai suddenly raised his head and glanced at her.

"Sure enough, a famous teacher produces a high apprentice."

"Your Majesty has won the award, and it is all up to Your Majesty."

said that it was a concession, but in fact, Emperor Hong Tai didn't let him take a single step, and the white son in his hand was pressing step by step, making moves to kill, but Xia Chuqi's sunspot was endured all the way, and he was soon forced by him as if he was cornered.

Xia Chuqi doesn't know too much, but he can also feel the ups and downs of the chess game, and it is difficult.

The old emperor is really powerful, right?

She thought, her palms covered in cold sweat......

After a few more hands, the white man was like a demon, and he became more and more ruthless.

Sweat was wet from her spine, and her hanging heart fell back again.

This kind of game, even if you lose, you will have to be "given" poisoned wine for a while, and it is worth it. People are the Son of Heaven, not everyone can compete with the Son of Heaven. comforting herself, she slowly calmed down, paid attention to the chess game, and did not look at Zhao Zhu squarely, only swept him with her eyes.

Zhao Tsun sat on the other side of the chess pier, not paying too much attention to the chess game, his expression was not too rich, and his lips were not like ordinary people talking, his lips would open and close, and he was basically in a semi-silent state all the time. Just a frown, an expression, a gesture that seems to be nothing, can make her understand.

Honestly, she likes this tacit understanding.

I also enjoy such a tacit understanding with him.

But why did he always quit? Keep retreating?

It is said that the chess game is like politics, like a battlefield, like a two-person tear killing, it can really be described as a turbulence, once you lose the opportunity, you will retreat and lose step by step.

She understands this truth, can't he understand?

I don't know why, she just cooperates.

There was silence for a long time, but Emperor Hong Tai suddenly opened his mouth.

"Old Nineteen, you apprentice, you have your demeanor."

Does that have his demeanor?

Xia Chuqi didn't understand, but he heard Zhao Zun respond slowly and methodically.

"My father's chess skills are at the peak, and the few false tricks of the sons and daughters are not worth mentioning."

Emperor Hongtai's eyes sank, but his face sighed with joy and anger, "I heard that the three major battalions of the Beijing Army will be frequently mobilized in the past two days, and someone has secretly played against me, saying that you have not handed over the tiger talisman to the military department until today, and you must have a plan to let me ask for the guilt according to the law." and the third child, who also does not stop, all day long with the members of the various departments of the Beijing Division and the officials of the feudal territory, privately teaching and receiving, accepting gifts and selling officials, not in a proper manner——"

After a pause, he glanced at Zhao Bottle, and said with a slight knock, "They are all my sons, and I know how you behave." The third child ignores the overall situation and has always been used to messing around, but the old nineteenth, you are my most optimistic son, and it is not your style to act dangerously? ”

Zhao Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Erchen will go to Beiping Mansion in the near future, so I want to raise talents for my father before leaving, and get rid of those who are not good at observing the sacred heart and have bad intentions, and hope that my father will be clear."

"In this way, I will be relieved."

Emperor Hong Taidi no longer said much, only focusing on the chess game, just like the few questions just now, just the casual chatter of the father and son.

On the chessboard, it is full of murderous opportunities!

After a while, the sunspot of the seventh day of the beginning of summer was forced into a dead end by Emperor Hongtai's white son.

However, when the situation was about to be completely controlled by Baizi, the smoke of gunfire rose again in the chess game, and Baizi, who was originally pressing step by step, fell into the trap that Heizi had already laid.

At the beginning of the summer, Qi's heart was "pounding", and under the command of Zhao Zhu, the blood was ignited. For a while, she didn't hesitate, she only felt that the mountains and rivers on the chessboard were shaking, and the sunspots, who were originally like being beaten by a storm, had turned into the most ferocious warriors one by one, shouting and killing, and counterattacking with momentum.

Everyone says it's best to strike first.

And this game is a game of yellow birds, which can be called a classic of turning defeat into victory.

"I've lost!"

Dialing the chess box, Emperor Hong Tai lightly pointed to the imperial dragon robe on his body that was woven with gold threads and coiled dragons, and sighed decisively.

Xia Chuqi hurriedly got up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have conceded." ”

Emperor Hong Taidi didn't speak, and the figure under the light of the lights had a touch of indistinguishable coldness, just like the murderous aura of the sword, breaking through the air, making Xia Chuqi shudder. But he didn't look at her, just looked at Zhao Zhu, as if it had been a long time, and he spoke lightly.

"What's this game called? Longtan Tiger's Den? ”

It was like a muffled thunder falling on the top of his head, and Xia Chuqi suddenly felt dry and dry. But Zhao Zhu just got up from his position slowly, arched his hand, and lowered his eyes.

"No, this game is called Father and Son Filial Piety."

Slowly, Emperor Hong Taidi smiled, "Old Nineteen, you have a heart." ”

"The merits of the father and the emperor are unsurpassed, and the sons and daughters should be filial piety."

Xia Chuqi was inexplicable when she heard this, and in her breath, she subconsciously looked at the chess game again.

Looking closely, she was stunned, barely breathing.

Maybe she was so focused on winning or losing the chess game that she didn't notice that on the turbulent chess game, Zhao Zhu not only commanded her to retreat step by step, luring the old emperor deep and then slaughtering it fiercely, but also took her hand and used a sunspot to put a word on the chessboard - filial piety.

Now that the chess game is over, only a black word "filial piety" left by her own hand.

took a deep breath, such a high-end chess method really amazed her.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand again.

She came to play chess today, but it was just one hand, a Zhao Bottle's hand, and the person who really played chess with the old emperor was Zhao Bottle himself. And the old emperor Hongtai, how could he not know?

It's just that what he needs is an attitude from Zhao Bottle, an attitude towards the situation?

And her nineteenth master, with a game of exquisite chess pieces, told his father that he endured and he retreated, which does not mean that he can't beat. See, he can also be the one who controls the situation if he wants to. And he didn't do it, just for that one word "filial piety"?

She guessed, not knowing the real cause.

But the old emperor's complexion was obviously much softener than before.

After all, it is also his biological son.

It's not a real mortal enemy, where will you have to fight for life and death?

Her heart was churning, but Emperor Hong Tai looked at it lightly.

"Pony, you've found a good master."

After saying that, he got up slowly, picked up the wine glass that had already been filled with wine on the tray held by Cui Yingda, raised the cuffs of Yanggon's dragon robe, flicked it, waved it, and drank it with a tilt of his head.

"The tribute wine from Jinzhong, I originally wanted to reward the horses."

Xia Chuqi was already stunned in the moment, unable to believe his eyes.

It turns out that the wine is not poisonous at all?

She moved her mouth, not knowing what to say, but the old emperor turned her head again.

"Neutralization Festival, I am waiting for the colt. Let's go down first, I still have something to say to the old nineteen. ”

The two fathers and sons want to talk late at night, and it is naturally no longer convenient for her to stay. Respectfully said "yes", suppressing her uneasy thoughts, she secretly glanced at Zhao Zhu, and slowly withdrew from the Invitation Moon Pavilion.

The heart of the Son of Heaven is really unpredictable.

And Zhao Zhu's calmness is even more difficult to understand.

As if this result, he was not surprised at all.

He had long known that the wine glass was not poisoned wine, but he still stepped into the old emperor's "trap", won the old emperor's game first, and made the old emperor proud so he calculated him. But in fact, he borrowed the hand of the old emperor to break back a "dead" game?

Chess players, who is in the game and who is outside?

After leaving the last glance of Ying Yueshu, she looked at the chess game, and the vague word "filial piety" on the chessboard, and suddenly felt that this game of chess may be far more complicated than she imagined-
