Li Yuanyi saw that Bai Shuang Shuang left room for himself at any time, and he also admired Bai Shuangshuang's character even more in his heart, so he said without thinking: "No, Miss Bai's chess skills are unattainable in this palace. He said to Old Man Tao: "If the master has seen it, he will definitely be able to understand." ”

"Oh?" Old Man Tao squinted and smiled: "Then I will ask Miss Bai to give some advice to these students later." ”

How could it be the turn of an unknown junior like Bai Shuangshuang to speak in this kind of competition, Bai Shuangshuang knew that this was just a polite remark from Old Man Tao, so he also humbly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

When the time for the competition came, everyone sat down, and the students who participated in the competition also sat in their positions for a long time, and they could start playing chess after Academician Wang's order.

Li Yuanyi sat in the middle of the upper position, and on the left and right sides sat Academician Wang and Old Man Tao. Originally, Li Yuanyi wanted to arrange for Bai Shuangshuang to sit behind him like the other women present, but the other women were all following behind his father and brother, Bai Shuangshuang and Li Yuanyi had no relatives and no reason, wouldn't sitting behind him be similar to a concubine?

Fortunately, Tao Fang also prepared for this, and had already placed a seat for Bai Shuangshuang next to the female master's seat. It's still not in line with the rules, but it's the best thing you can do for hoarfrost.

There are three days in the chess competition, and in order to cope with Li Yuanyi's invitation, Bai Shuangshuang only planned to go through the motions on the first day, but the students who participated in the competition were all proficient in black and white, and Bai Shuangshuang took a casual look and indulged in it.

The female master next to Bai Shuangshuang happened to be one of the female masters who had taught Bai Mingzhu in Baifu before, although she had never met with Bai Shuangshuang, she had heard a lot about Bai Shuangshuang's deeds, especially Bai Shuangshuang's display of chess skills in front of the emperor, which was even more famous, which made her always quite curious.

"Miss Bai, look at this game of chess, if you are holding Baizi, is there still room for reversal?"

Bai Shuangshuang didn't expect the female master next to him to suddenly talk to him, this female master is about thirty years old, although he is dressed simply, only a jade hairpin is on his head, and the color of his clothes is also very low-key, but from the facial features on his face, he can still see a bit of charm.

Bai Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment and then reacted that the female master was asking about the closest game of chess to the two of her, she carefully studied the confrontation between black and white, and said softly: "It's already a mountain of defeat, if it's me, I can only try my best to pull and control the situation so as not to continue to deteriorate." If you can catch the opponent's mistake due to urgency, it may become a draw. ”

The female master admired Bai Shuangshuang's steady and calm attitude, and nodded with a smile: "Then according to Miss Bai's opinion, can this student still control the situation?" ”

Bai Shuangshuang smiled embarrassedly: "The authorities are fascinated, I can only say this by the bystander, this son, I'm afraid he hasn't found the room to turn around, and he has given up." ”

Although the young man in charge of Baizi still attacked fiercely, it was obviously only to make the chess game end as soon as possible, and he had already abandoned the besieged area and would soon be embattled.

knows how to read chess, but also knows how to read people, every move, word and deed reveals the upbringing and etiquette that Miss Everyone should have, it can be said that she is a second person, and compared with Miss Bai Er, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

The female master had an idea in her heart, but because the chess competition was not over yet, she put it aside for the time being.

In these games, some of the games have been decided early, but some of them are still in full swing.

Some of the people who came in to see it had already yawned, while those who were addicted to it stared intently.

Two hours later, Academician Wang announced the suspension of the game, invited the guests to sit in the side courtyard, and also let the students who had not finished playing chess go to the wing room to rest for a while, and the chessboard with no score was also covered with a layer of white handkerchief, and no one was allowed to approach the arena until the rest time was over.

The courtyard outside the cloister is planted with a bamboo forest, and there are some stone tables and stone benches in the bamboo forest, which is intended to be used by the students of Feihong Academy for small gatherings on weekdays.

After arriving at Wenyayuan, because they could sit down and talk, the ladies were able to move freely and get together to talk.

As soon as Zhai Yuting got the approval, she immediately came to look for the white frost that was at a loss and didn't know which table to sit down at a better table.

"Frost! Long time no see! ”

"Yuting." Bai Shuangshuang looked at his hand that was suddenly pulled by Zhai Yuting, and said with a dumb smile: "The palace banquet was just ten days ago. ”

"That's been half a month." Zhai Yuting pulled Bai Shuangshuang towards the stone table where the young ladies she knew were sitting, and said, "Are you okay lately?" Those gossips ......"

Bai Shuangshuang shook his head: "It's okay, if I can get the emperor's appreciation and reward as my identity, it will definitely be lively for a while." ”

Zhai Yuting clenched Bai Shuangshuang's hand and smiled: "You can really think about it." By the way, you won't feel uncomfortable today, will you? Originally, I told my father that you would be with us, but my father didn't agree, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was there. ”

Zhai Yuting was full of sincerity, and the white frost was not perfunctory, so she raised her eyebrows and smiled helplessly: "It's very uncomfortable, but after sitting with a female master, it's much better." ”

"Female master?" Zhai Yuting thought for a while: "Ah, it's Wufuzi." Speaking of this, Zhai Yuting turned her head to find Wu Fuzi who was talking to other female masters, and said to Bai Shuangshuang: "Wu Fuzi is a very powerful character, have you talked to her?" ”

"Well, I said two words. Does she have any background? ”

At this time, the two had already walked to the side of several young ladies, and the others also moved the stools for Zhai Yuting and Bai Shuangshuang, and when they heard the two talking about Wufuzi, they also whispered.

"Are you talking about Wufuzi?" It was Kong Zhen, the daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy, who spoke. She lowered her voice and asked Bai Shuangshuang, "I heard that Wu Fuzi didn't go to Baifu a few days ago?" You don't know? ”

Bai Shuangshuang knew that there were two female masters who went to Bai Mansion to teach Bai Mingzhu last month, but she didn't know who it was, anyway, they left in less than two days, and she didn't know that one of them was famous.

Bai Shuangshuang took the veil and smiled lightly: "It was about my mother who invited me to be my sister's master, I don't know." ”
