"Zheng."

The strings snapped, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.

"Yikes." Concubine De snorted softly, a trace of worry crossed her eyes.

Xiao Guifei looked at her, her eyes flashed with disdain and contrived.

Zhenguo Gong has 100,000 soldiers in his hands, and he is the object of the princes' wooing, but Zhenguo Gong prefers the five princes, and it is unlikely that Concubine De wants to win over Zhenguo Gong through marriage.

She remembered the incident when Xiao Lingwei and Chen Manman fell into the water before, and presumably through that time, Han Tong should have written down her favor.

Xiao Hui couldn't help but feel proud when she saw Han Xi wrapping her fingers in a handkerchief and walking off the stage in a gloomy manner.

Her movements were smoother, her slender fingers fluttering over the strings, bursts of high-pitched timbre flowing from under her fingers, making the mind clear, every pore open to listen to the beautiful music.

At the end of the song, Xiao Hui got up elegantly and said softly: "The courtiers are ugly." ”

There was a moment of silence, followed by thunderous applause.

"Okay, the aftermath is lingering, the aftertaste is endless, and she deserves to be the first talented woman in the capital." The emperor clapped his hands and praised them profusely.

Xiao Hui had a modest expression on her face, but in fact, she was already so proud that she flew to the sky, what she wanted was this result, and everyone appreciated and breathed amazement.

She obviously felt that her husband looked at her with a little more affection in his eyes, and his admiration and admiration were even stronger.

Xiao Hui looked at Xiao Lingwei defiantly.

How do you know that you didn't see Xiao Ling's slightly angry expression as expected, but sincerely admired?

Admiration, when this word popped up in Xiao Hui's mind, she was obviously stunned.

That stinky girl has always competed with her, stumbling on her behind her back, how can she admire her?

The next moment, she knew it was true.

Because Xiao Lingwei shouted loudly regardless of her image: "Second sister, you are amazing." ”

Xiao Hui was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to her childhood, once she changed into a carefully prepared dress, Xiao Lingwei was the same, and sincerely praised her as a "fairy who descended to earth"

"Reward."

Xiao Hui took Yu Ruyi in a trance, and returned to her seat in a trance.

Chen Manman began to bite Xiao Ling's ears again: "Did you see it?" Han Xi's face was as black as ink, not to mention how ugly it was. ”

Xiao Ling said slightly: "Actually, she got a jade Ruyi, which has left a good impression in Concubine De's heart, and winning the later competition is just the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't win." ”

Chen Manman was stunned, "Anyway, I just don't want to see her win." ”

"I don't want to." Xiao Ling's eyes were deep.

When I looked at it again, there were already palace people carrying a box on the stage.

The emperor said: "A few days ago, I played a game of chess with Sikong, and in the end, I couldn't tell the winner.

"Today, whoever can solve this game of chess will be the first place in this competition."

After the palace people put the chessboard away, people came to the stage one after another.

This time, not only the unmarried Miss Childe, but also some people who have become married, and even elderly officials, also went up to watch.

Most people are still curious, wanting to see what the endgame between the emperor and Sikong looks like.

After reading it, everyone was stunned, as the emperor said, the black and white on the chessboard are inseparable, each occupying half of the country, evenly matched, and it seems that they can't tell the winner.

Someone was eager to try, took the sunspot several times and tried to drop it, thought about it carefully, and put the chess pieces back into the basket.

He let out a long sigh, lamented that his skills were not perfect, and stepped off the stage.

After a while, there were fewer and fewer people on the stage, and no one took the lead.

"Is it really that powerful?" Chen Manman was about to move and wanted to go up to watch, but was stopped by Second Mrs. Chen.

Second Mrs. Chen glared at her: "You are a person who can't even understand the rules of chess, what are you going to do to make a fuss?" ”

Chen Manman's arrogance immediately subsided.

There were also three people on the field, He Wenjun, the second son of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Shixuan, the prince's son, and Han Da.

Xiao Ling moved slightly.

"Hey, slightly" Chen Manman's outstretched hand stayed empty in mid-air.

Second Mrs. Chen was surprised and asked Yang Huijun: "Weiwei can play chess?" ”

Yang Huijun slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and only spit out one word after a while: "Yes." ”

Pei Zhiwang's chess skills are known as the best in the world, and Xiao Lingwei is his close disciple, of course she will.

It's just that

Yang Huijun remembered that every time Pei Zhiwang taught Xiao Lingwei to play chess, usually after about ten rounds, Xiao Lingwei began to fidget, and after a while, she said that she was hungry and wanted to eat, and after a while, she said that she wanted to change clothes, and then she said that she had a headache and was sick

In short, every time she takes a chess lesson, she will try her best to find an excuse to shirk.

Yang Huijun once tied her to Xiao Lin in the study? After playing a game, the battle situation was simply miserable, and even she, who is not good at chess, is probably better than Xiao Lingwei.

So Yang Huijun thinks that Xiao Lingwei is just going up to join in the fun, and she will come down after a look.

Seeing Xiao Ling come to the stage, Han Da raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully.

Xiao Ling saluted Chen Shixuan in a modest manner: "Second brother-in-law." ”

"Sixth sister." Chen Shixuan returned the salute.

Xiao Ling nodded at He Wenjun again, but she didn't look at Han Da, and then looked at the chessboard intently.

The emperor leaned to the left and asked General Yang, "That girl can also play chess?" ”

Because he wronged General Yang not long ago, in order to express his apology, the emperor set General Yang's seat next to him, so as to tell everyone that General Yang is still the person he relies on.

General Yang smiled: "Huijun has complained to me many times, saying that he doesn't like to learn chess slightly, and every time he goes to class, he makes Mr. Pei so angry that he jumps to his feet.

"She's probably just going up and looking, it's just fun."

The emperor smiled, unimpressed.

Han Da walked to Xiao Lingwei's side, looked at the chessboard with his eyes, but said to Xiao Lingwei: "Miss Xiao is a disciple of Mr. Pei, and she must have won the true inheritance of Mr. Pei, and her chess skills are extraordinary." ”

For Xiao Lingwei, he inquired in detail. She studied with Pei Zhiwang, her writing is good, and she also has attainments in history, but in addition to calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, the other three skills are said to be so-so.

People often pass by Pei Zhiwang's courtyard, and Pei Zhiwang can be heard scolding Xiao Lingwei for "rotten wood cannot be carved", and said that he regretted accepting her as a disciple very much.

These are the news that he spent a lot of money to probe, so he thinks that Xiao Lingwei's chess skills are very poor, at least at her current age, she can't see the mystery of this game of chess.

Xiao Ling didn't look up slightly, and said lightly: "Master often says that I am the stupidest of his five disciples. ”

Han Da raised an eyebrow, and sure enough.

Chen Shixuan said: "The sixth sister is still young, and she is concentrating on studying, and in time, she will definitely be able to master chess." ”

As Xiao Hui's husband, he still knows some truths, and for Xiao Lingwei's appearance, he also thinks that she is a child, so she just comes up to play and take a look.

Xiao Lingwei was dismissive of their ideas and concentrated on studying the chess game.

Master once said that among the five disciples, only the senior brother Wu Sikong has obtained the true inheritance of his chess skills.

From this endgame, Xiao Ling can faintly see the master's chess skills, it seems that what the master said is really true, and the senior brother is really powerful
