Ning Zhixuan looked at the young girls lined up in the middle, her heart had fallen to the bottom, and she wanted to use Shangguan Yunxin to fight with Shangguan Jiuxiao, so as to break Shangguan Jiuxiao's harmful thoughts, but now the imperial concubine intends to choose a concubine for each prince, Shangguan Yunxin can't compete with all the princes here.

"King Huanjun, you will choose first." The reason why the imperial concubine chose to start with the king of Huanjun was because she knew that he was the least favored, and since she was not favored, she would not rashly refuse.

King Huanjun hurriedly got up and saluted to the head and said, "The son is left to the imperial concubine Niangniang to be the master." ”

Sure enough, King Huanjun lived up to the imperial concubine's expectations, and did not refuse this grace, but also handed over the power to the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, since the king of Huanjun wants his concubine to be the master for him, the concubine thinks that the six daughters of the Huangmen Shilang Mansion are delicate and virtuous, and can be given to Prince Heng as a concubine."

"You can't be wrong about the person you fancie." Emperor Qi saw that the imperial concubine was so concerned about the princes' concubines, and said with great relief, "Everything is up to the imperial concubine to decide." ”

"The son has thanked his father and the emperor for his grace." King Huanjun didn't even glance at the young lady of the Yellow Gate Servant's Mansion, so he knelt on the ground with a gesture of gratitude and kowtowed to the top.

The concubine of the king of Huanjun has been selected, and the remaining princes who do not have concubines are only Shangguan Hanyue, Shangguan Jiuxiao and Shangguan Fengming.

"Father, the imperial concubine, the sons and daughters are not as good as a few brothers, they can share the worries of their fathers, and the sons and daughters now just want to concentrate on studying, and then accept the side concubines when they are weak." Shangguan Fengming is the youngest among the princes, and now he is only seventeen, which is not as good as the weak crown, so he can naturally find an excuse to push the matter of taking a concubine.

"Since Ming'er wants to concentrate on studying, then let's wait until the next day to perform the crown ceremony before accepting the concubine." Emperor Qi has always loved Shangguan Fengming, and even if he agreed to his request.

"Father, Brother Yue is not too young, and there is no side concubine in the mansion, so it is better to let Brother Yue choose first!" Shangguan Yunxin saw that Shangguan Jiuxiao was already about to ask to marry Ning Wanran, so he hurriedly took the first step and said, "The Fourth Emperor Brother has just performed the gift of a weak crown, and he is not in a hurry to accept the concubine, so he should not object to letting Brother Yue choose first." ”

"Father, the so-called eldest and youngest are orderly, and the sons and daughters will naturally not object to the second emperor's brother choosing first." Shangguan Jiuxiao naturally would not compete with Shangguan Hanyue in front of Emperor Qi, and on the surface, he wanted to pretend to be a brother and a friend.

"Brother Yue, since the four emperor brothers don't mind, then Brother Yue will pick it up first." Shangguan Yunxin seemed to think of something halfway through speaking, and said, "Xin'er thinks that the girls selected by the imperial concubine are all outstanding, and it seems to be unfair to that one if she picks this, and it seems to be unfair to this one if she picks that." ”

When Shangguan Yunxin was hesitant and embarrassed, Ning Zhixuan on the side suddenly spoke: "I heard that the prince is good at black and white, and the sixth brother who set up a delicate chess game a few days ago is difficult for the courtiers, it is better to let the prince try the chess skills of the young ladies, if he can go through ten moves under the prince, he can barely be regarded as the destined person of the prince." ”

"Second Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is a master of black and white, and it is a little too difficult for those young ladies to come up with such an idea." Before Sun Miao could speak, he was intercepted by Shangguan Yunxin, and pretended to think about it, "It would be good if there was anyone whose chess skills were below Brother Yue, but above the young ladies." ”

"The courtiers were reminded by the princess like this, and they really thought of such a person." Ning Zhiyun said that she had already walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the fifth sister of the courtiers has some crude chess skills, but she can try the chess skills of the young ladies for His Royal Highness Prince Yu." ”

"Father, this is fun, Xin'er thinks it's feasible." Shangguan Yunxin pretended to be playful, and said with help on the side, "It will not be unfair to choose the concubine in this way, and you can find like-minded intimate people for Brother Yue, wouldn't it be a clever trick to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"You! After the New Year, it's time to make a gift, how can you still be so playful! Emperor Qi pretended to reprimand Shangguan Yunxin, but in fact, his eyes were full of fatherly feelings, "Your second brother usually hurts you the most, and I won't object to your idea." ”

Seeing that Emperor Qi agreed with Ning Zhiyun's idea, the palace maids immediately lifted the small table up, and laid a chessboard on the low table, and finally Ning Wanran clenched his fists under the wide sleeves in everyone's attention and sat on the small pestle next to the low table.

Everyone thought that Ning Zhiyue came up with this method in order to take care of the concubines to be selected for Shangguan Hanyue, after all, no one in the imperial capital knew that Shangguan Hanyue once fell in love with Ning Zhiyue, and she was also a popular candidate for Prince Yu's concubine, and now that she is not yet a concubine, how can she allow the concubine to enter the door of the palace first, naturally she has to think of a way that everyone can't find a mistake to cook people.

Ning Zhiyun's thoughts, everyone present could see through them, but what they didn't expect was that Ning Wanran really had a good chess skill, and he could force the opponent into a desperate situation in ten steps in half a stick of incense, and everyone understood why Ning Zhiyun would send a concubine to fight against the girls so reassuringly.

Seeing that Ning Wanran's subordinates were flying like Baizi, in less than half an hour, they had already killed a group of young girls, and everyone bowed down and retreated after the defeat.

Shangguan Yunxin looked at the group of girls who were leaving with their heads drooping, and took Emperor Qi's arm coquettishly and said: "Father, these people are unfamiliar with chess, if they enter Prince Yu's mansion, I am afraid they will not be able to relieve Brother Yue's boredom." As he spoke, his eyes swept over Ning Wanran, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "It's the good chess skills of the fifth lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Xin'er is really embarrassed." ”

"The ninth sister's chess skills are really unfamiliar, and she lost in the hands of her father in just five moves." Shangguan Lichu, the king of Huanjun, who never said much, suddenly came out and joked Shangguan Yunxin, "If you lose, you lose, but the ninth sister still has to pester her father and refuse to admit defeat." ”

"Fourth Emperor Brother, stop laughing at Xin'er!"

"Father, my son wants to ask for his father's consent." Shangguan Yunxin followed Shangguan Li Chu's words, let go of Emperor Qi's arm, and solemnly knelt down and kowtowed, "Erchen wants to recognize Fifth Miss as a righteous sister, and in the future, I will often accept her into the palace to guide Erchen in chess." ”

After the imperial concubine learned the true purpose of Ning Zhixuan and Shangguan Yunxin's hard work, the corners of her lips also pulled up a gentle smile and said, "What did this palace ask the emperor to ask for?" It turned out that she fell in love with Miss Five, and wanted to recognize her as a righteous sister. ”
