Chapter 45: Supreme Honor
"Hahaha, girl, you are too arrogant, but your chess skills are really exquisite, when do you have time, remember to come to the palace more often, how about playing a few games with me? I watched you play chess, but my hands itched. ”
Ji Yutong's release of such arrogant and arrogant words is equivalent to pressing Ji Wanyun's IQ to the ground and rubbing it.
Seeing that this No. 1 beauty in the Chixiao Kingdom was full of shame, Chu Zhen not only didn't say that Ji Yutong was not, but also laughed and made an appointment with her about a chess game.
As a small concubine of the Hou Mansion, even the princess does not have the honor that no one can get, and playing chess with the Son of Heaven, she Ji Yutong easily did it.
Almost at the moment when Chu Zhen said this, the faces of everyone present changed.
Especially those ministers who were visited in advance by Ji Chunqiu.
No one who can be present at this special banquet today is a fool, on the contrary, everyone is a human spirit, and they know how to judge the situation better than ordinary people.
Although Ji Chunqiu had visited them in advance, Ji Yutong was now so appreciated by the emperor, even to the point of favoring, it would be really stupid to let them vote for Ji Wanyun blindfolded again.
The atmosphere slowly became ossified, and many people began to think in private, and Ji Chunqiu also began to worry.
It is true that he dotes on his concubine Ji Wanyun, but it is all because she is a concubine.
Now that Ji Yutong's identity is rising, judging from the current level of Ji Yutong's dissatisfaction with him, if Ji Wanyun can't win the next game, then they will be really sad in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stare at Ji Wanyun fiercely, intending to spur her to work harder and not to embarrass him.
But at this time, Ji Chunqiu's eyes fell on Ji Wanyun's eyes, which made her even more nervous.
Ji Yutong got up and saluted the emperor, and his demeanor was downright and generous.
"Your Majesty, when do you want to play chess with Hitomi, Hitomi will definitely be willing to accompany you to the end, but there are too many rules in this palace, and Hitomi has not received much education.
Did she refuse the emperor's invitation?
Hearing her words, everyone was in an uproar.
Chu Linyuan narrowed his eyes and hooked the corners of his lips, "Heh, this woman ......"
She didn't refuse so stupidly, the purpose was obvious.
What a daring little guy.
"Oh? You little girl is very weird, you really can't let you follow the rules like the people in the palace, that will definitely suffocate you to death, it's better to come to see me in the future, the rules of the palace will be simple for you, and you don't have to salute anyone, how about it? ”
Sure enough, Chu Zhen was on the rise, although he knew the little calculation in Ji Yutong's heart, he still gave her the supreme privilege that even the queen didn't have.
There is no need to salute anyone, what a supreme right this should be, it is basically equivalent to turning her head and leaving without looking at it even if she meets the queen mother except for seeing the emperor.
This is even more terrifying than the right to enter the palace at any time.
Basically, as soon as Chu Zhen's words fell, those people who had been wooed by Ji Chunqiu immediately united the front, and their eyes became firm at the same time.
Ji Wanyun's little face was completely white, and for the first time, she actually felt that she couldn't raise her head in front of people.
Ji Yutong glanced at her lightly, hooked her lips, neither humble nor arrogant, "That's just amazing, thank you emperor!" Hitomi will definitely come to you to learn chess skills in the future, by the way, the game continues, my game with my sister is not over yet, and Hitomi still has a lot of talent to show you. ”
In such an important competition, Ji Yutong was stunned as a one-man show of talent.
Ji Wanyun gritted her teeth, her slightly lowered face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Okay, good, the game continues, you girl, this is not taking the seriousness of the game into account at all, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
Chu Zhen smiled and touched his beard, which was not very long, and pretended to be majestic.
But Ji Yutong was not afraid at all, but smiled angrily.
"Your Majesty, don't scare Hitomi, Hitomi is too timid, if you are too nervous, you won't be able to see the next surprise performance~~"
Hearing this, Chu Zhen's deliberately stiffened face suddenly became untenable.
He laughed, his voice hearty and cheerful.
"Hahaha, you girl, I've really lost to you."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're the best, your emperor, how can you punish Hitomi, you must like Hitomi's too late."
Ji Yutong chatted with the emperor with a smile, and the atmosphere was as happy as a father and daughter.
Yang Jun silently watched her make the emperor laugh, and couldn't help but glance at the unconsciously evoked arc on Chu Linyuan's face.
Suddenly, Ji Yutong was simply a treasure girl.
A majestic emperor and an iron-faced ruthless war king were actually amused by her.
Such characters must let their prince welcome them into the mansion earlier, in case they are snatched away by others, they will lose their hair.
For example, King Jing of Ming, who was sitting opposite, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince next door, and even the Prince of the Dragon Phoenix Kingdom who just came today.
The eyes of these men are very subtle, and they definitely mean a little bit to Ji Yutong.
Especially King Ming, those eyes were simply glued to Ji Yutong's body, wherever Ji Yutong went, he followed and saw wherever he went, and his eyes were straight without turning.
"Yang Jun, you said that if this king plays a game of chess with her, who can win?"
Suddenly, Chu Linyuan picked up his wine glass and asked him without a tail.
Yang Jun was stunned and hurriedly looked at his face.
Seeing that the smile on his face had disappeared, Yang Jun hurriedly complimented, "Of course you will win, then Miss Ji is still Miss Shen after all, and in terms of tactical chess skills, it must not be as good as the battle-hardened Lord Wang." ”
Although he said this, Yang Jun was not particularly sure in his heart.
After all, Ji Yutong's hands just now are already very revealing, and Chu Linyuan may not be able to win.
However, as a subordinate, he still has to be properly flattered.
However, as soon as his words fell, Chu Linyuan said coldly without looking back.
"Okay, don't learn who is flattering, her chess skills are unmatched in the entire banquet venue, and this king has also benefited a lot from it, and he is not allowed to have dinner when he goes back tonight, and runs fifty laps around the palace."
“...... Be. ”
Hey, I was still fined.
Thinking that he was about to run on an empty stomach in the night tonight, Yang Jun had a stomachache.
Of course, there is also some egg pain.
Why didn't the prince of their family directly pursue Ji Yutong?
Ay......
Bitter for him, a semi-staff officer.
"The third game, calligraphy, invite the two ladies to the stage."
In a short period of time, the chessboard was removed from the field and replaced with a long table and pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Ji Yutong and Ji Wanyun stood in front of a long table, and the two of them had to write the same paragraph to compete in calligraphy.
It's just that Ji Wanyun started with a brush, but Ji Yutong directly asked people to withdraw the pen and ink and inkstone.
Chu Zhen was a little puzzled, "Girl, what are you doing here?" ”
How did you remove the brush and inkstone from the calligraphy?
Not only Chu Zhen, but others were also confused.
At this time, Ji Yutong smiled toothily and glanced at the bamboo in the audience.
Bang Zhu hurriedly sent the 'fountain pen' they had prepared in advance to the stage.
"What is this?"
Chu Zhen was puzzled again.
"Your Majesty, this thing is called a fountain pen, Hitomi doesn't like brushes, so I plan to use a fountain pen to write, if you are curious, you will see the effect after Hitomi finishes writing, if you think it is good, Hitomi will give you this fountain pen."
Ji Yutong shook the ink with a smile, and after confirming that the ink in the 'fountain pen' could flow out smoothly, he started.
She tore open her wide cloak to reveal the red cheongsam that had shone in front of the palace gate this morning.
Suddenly, the eyes of the people on the field widened.
"Oh my God! What kind of clothes is this? ”
"How can you be so exposed and shameless!"
"This season, Yu Hitomi is too disproportionate, how can she wear such clothes to the stage!?"
“......”
Some of the old antiques blushed when they saw it, and immediately stood up and criticized it.
Even Chu Zhen frowned, unable to accept the clothes that Ji Yutong was wearing.
However, Ji Yutong's ignorance and calmness soon made these people's criticisms meaningless.
After the initial discomfort passed, people began to unconsciously re-examine her outfit.
The big red cheongsam was split to the root of the legs, making Ji Yutong's looming legs appear thin and long.
And her originally not very plump figure, under the wrapping of this tight-fitting cheongsam, she actually looked strangely amorous, and the charm value of the whole person climbed to the peak in an instant.
Seeing the men in the field staring at her intently, Chu Linyuan's face was extremely dark.
Yang Jun was also nervous, although he was very surprised and curious, he didn't dare to look at Ji Yutong again, for fear that his prince would be too angry and would be the first to chop him alive.
"This woman!"
Chu Linyuan stared at Ji Yutong viciously, gritted his teeth and squeezed out these three words from between his teeth, and in the next second, the white jade wine glass in his hand also burst suddenly, and the wine mixed with red blood flowed onto the table, directly scaring the palace maid next to him into screaming.
"Lord Wang!"
Yang Jun also didn't expect Chu Linyuan to be so angry, and he directly crushed the wine glass with his bare hands!
The movement here is a bit big, after all, in the calligraphy, the whole banquet hall is relatively quiet.
Ji Yutong glanced at the movement with some curiosity when he heard this, but he met Chu Linyuan's terrifying eyes directly.
'! Why is he looking at me like that? ’
Ji Yutong inexplicably felt a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly turned around and continued to write.
But Chu Linyuan's bleeding hand that was pierced by the broken wine glass on the table, his injured but expressionless face, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her suddenly became entrenched in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it.
'Click'.
Suddenly, because I had not put down my pen for a while, a drop of ink dripped out of the pen and fell right onto the freshly written word.
This black spot destroyed her perfect regular script in an instant.
Ji Yutong snorted, and after secretly scolding Chu Linyuan who made her mistake in her heart, she simply stopped writing.
The calligraphy competition requires that the paper be changed in one go, and everyone stopped writing and frowned when they saw that she had not finished writing, and they all felt that she was writing a wrong word and was going to lose.
Ji Wanyun, who was about to finish writing next to her, couldn't help but hook her lips slightly and wrote more seriously.
'Hmph, Ji Yutong, you can't compare to me after all! ’
