The provocation was unsuccessful, Princess Crescent Moon pouted, her face full of displeasure, but since Emperor Xuande knew that she had an opinion on Tan Xiaotian and came to find trouble, of course she would not follow the meaning of the little girl - no matter how much you pamper your daughter, there is a limit, Tan Xiaotian's performance in teaching is better than the previous old masters, if she is punished because of Princess Crescent's dissatisfaction, it will make the courtiers gossip, besides, if you can cure Princess Crescent Moon to run to herself to complain, it is also a talent, not to mention anything else, This courage alone is not something that ordinary people do.

"Are you Tan Xiaotian?" Turning around, seeing that Tan Xiaotian was still kneeling on the ground, Emperor Xuande asked.

"Back to the emperor, it is Xiaomin." Tan Xiaotian replied, his head was still low, because more than one person told him that the emperor was the real dragon emperor, not everyone could see it, the so-called companion is like a tiger, and if he looks at it indiscriminately, it is suspected of committing a crime, causing the emperor to be angry, and it is possible to lose his head at any time. Although Tan Xiaotian felt that such an exhortation was exaggerated, there was no reason to use himself to verify whether it was right or wrong.

"Well, flat." Nodding, Emperor Xuande commanded.

"Your Majesty." Tan Xiaotian thanked him, and then stood up, still respectful, and lowered his head.

"Raise your head and let me see what it looks like to be praised by Zhang Aiqing as a flower-like young genius." Emperor Xuande was obviously in a very good mood, and commanded with a smile.

"Yes." Tan Xiaotian raised his head as he said - he was also very curious about what it was like today, since the other party let him raise his head, he naturally would not refuse, in fact, it was impossible to refuse.

Sitting on the dragon chair was a middle-aged man in his forties, not very burly, but with a lofty momentum, with a faint smile on his face, but it gave people a feeling of indescribable distance.

Emperor Xuande is also looking at Tan Xiaotian, in his eyes, Tan Xiaotian is a childish child, although his appearance is also delicate, but compared to the sons and nephews of those princes and ministers, it is not outstanding, however, this child's eyes are very distinctive, very smart, especially without the trembling fear that most people have when they see themselves, which makes Emperor Xuande unexpectedly a little more interested.

"Well, it's a bit aura. Today you are going to face off against General Zhao in chess, how are you preparing, and do you have the confidence to win? Emperor Xuande asked after praising it.

"If you go back to the emperor, I'm ready. As for the outcome of the game, I will do my best to fight for it. Tan Xiaotian replied - although I heard Zhao Mengtu say how powerful General Zhao's chess is, today's game will be a hard battle, and the situation is not optimistic, but as a chess player, it is like a soldier on the verge of battle, where is there a person who loses before the battle, looks down on himself before he plays, and gives up hope? The eight- or nine-year-old child has not yet learned to be modest and polite, and in the face of an opponent who has never fought before, he is high-spirited and has no fear at all.

"Oh, bragging, doing your best, obeying the destiny of heaven, it's just going down, what excuse are you looking for." Seeing Tan Xiaotian's confident appearance, Princess Crescent Moon was unhappy, made a grimace, and sneered disdainfully.

"Well......", Emperor Xuande also felt that Tan Xiaotian's confidence was too strong, General Zhao's decades of chess skills were not fake, at least he had never taken advantage of his own games - the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and probably only Zhao Hongtu was the only one who was unceremonious when he played chess with him.

"Well......", Emperor Xuande also felt that Tan Xiaotian's confidence was too strong, General Zhao's chess skills for decades were not fake, at least he had never taken advantage of playing against him - the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, probably only Zhao Hongtu was the only one who was unceremonious when he played chess with him, if Tan Xiaotian didn't even look at Zhao Hongtu in his eyes, wouldn't he indirectly not take himself as a thing? If that were the case, the child's tone would be too big. But having said that, the other party is an eight or nine-year-old child, the so-called fairy tongue is unscrupulous, and it is not surprising that he speaks falsely, but it is too early to draw conclusions before the chess is played, and Princess Crescent Moon is sarcastic at this time, so she sinks her face and hums together, reminding Princess Crescent to pay attention to proportion.

Emperor Xuande's anger was fake anger, Princess Xinyue naturally felt that if the little girl didn't have such ability, she wouldn't be so favored by Emperor Xuande, pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at Tan Xiaotian, but stopped talking.

Tan Xiaotian just didn't see anything - isn't it stupid to know that the other party is deliberately here to make trouble and still angry? The most taboo thing to do in the face of provocation is to speak with achievements, rather than wasting words to fight for words.

"Haha, little guy, his tone is not small, but he is a daring doll, I like it." Zhao Hongtu is a big old man, he doesn't have so many eyes, what he likes is to go straight, if Tan Xiaotian is going around and around fake politeness, he will only think that this child is a philistine, and even if he appreciates chess, it will only be chess skills, but Tan Xiaotian expresses his attitude so bluntly, and is not afraid in the face of challenges, this kind of performance is very good for his temper, Zhao Hongtu did not hide his love, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, the pony thinks the road is narrow, and the eagle spreads its wings and hates the sky. Old general, it seems that your prestige can't scare people's little dolls. Zhang Bonian didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and interjected with a smile.

"Haha, when did my old Zhao scare people with his name? Little one, don't think that it's okay to learn a few moves from my grandson, and when you get to the chessboard, I won't show mercy to you just because you're young. Zhao Hongtu didn't care about Zhang Bonian's side drumming, and said to Tan Xiaotian with a smile.

"There are only opponents on the chessboard, there are no young and old, although you are the elder of the teacher, I will not let go of water on the chessboard." Tan Xiaotian replied in a dignified and awe-inspiring manner - looking at Zhao Hongtu's tall and strong body, tiger's back and bear's waist, and his fierce face, I thought he would be a short-tempered person who ignited the fire, but he didn't expect to be a very witty old child after contact, no wonder he would propose to compare chess with himself, and change to a normal adult, who would do such a thing?

"There are only opponents on the chessboard, no young and old, like a disciple taught by my Zhao family!" Zhao Hongtu high-fived and applauded -- the so-called Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, he is a soldier, he has always adhered to the concept that he would rather be beaten to death than be scared to death, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, what should be done is done, and the greatest respect for the opponent is to do his best to defeat the opponent.
