After the master craftsman polished the piece of jade, Jiang Xinyu felt that it was not bad, and according to the polishing on the drawings she drew, the polished ones still looked good. Jiang Xinyu also felt quite satisfied.

Jiang Xinyu prepared the layout of chess again, and after everything was ready, Jiang Xinyu also felt that it was almost the same.

Xiao Rou on the side didn't understand very well, she was always confused, what was Miss doing? Isn't it chess? Could it be that making this chess is so troublesome, what the hell is it, Xiao Rou has been watching Jiang Xinyu tinker for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Xinyu was busy sweating, Xiaorou found a handkerchief to wipe Jiang Xinyu's sweat.

"Miss, you see that you have been busy for a long time and have not done anything, you are tired and sweating profusely. Why don't you stop and rest for a while! ”

"No, this palace is not tired, isn't it just a few strokes." Jiang Xinyu said indifferently.

"Okay then, it's just that you don't always stop, Miss, you'll be really tired!" Xiaorou said distressedly.

"Okay, okay, my good little girl, you go and stay aside! I'll be able to get it done in a while. ”

Helpless, Xiaorou had no choice but to listen to the past and stay honestly. Then he watched Jiang Xinyu continue to work hard to tinker with her chess. In fact, Xiaorou didn't understand what Miss had made, but now Miss was busy and couldn't ask herself.

After a while, Jiang Xinyu finally got it done, and let out a long breath.

"Hey, it's finally done, it's done! Xiaorou, come over and take a look at the chess that Hongu is doing, how about it? Isn't it good? Jiang Xinyu asked excitedly.

Xiao Rou looked left and right for a long time, and then asked Jiang Xinyu in a daze, "Miss, you have been sitting for a long time, and Xiao Rou has not seen anything?" Is this what chess looks like? ”

"yes, that's what chess looks like, how about it, I'll teach you how to play it in a while!"

"Yes, yes," Xiao Rou said.

Grunt...... There seemed to be some voice, "Huh? Xiaorou, listen, is there any sound? ”

"Oh, my miss, it's your stomach that is screaming! Look at you, you've been tired for so long, can you not be hungry? Miss, you rest first, Xiao Rou will go and make you some food. ”

"Well, it's okay, I'll teach you to play chess after I've finished eating."

Then Xiaorou went to make food for Jiang Xinyu.

After eating, Jiang Xinyu rested for a while, and then called Xiaorou over.

"Xiaorou, come on, this palace will teach you to play this chess."

"Okay," Xiao Rou ran over happily.

Jiang Xinyu set up the chess, and then explained to Xiaorou how to play this thing. Chess is played by two people, but Jiang Xinyu is only alone, she can't play it by herself, and she can't go to Nangong Tianjiao Nangong Tian to play! The emperor of a dignified country, how can he let a concubine teach it, it's ridiculous to wear it out. Besides, Jiang Xinyu thought to herself. She is not familiar with Nangong Tian. So it's okay to teach Xiaorou to play!

"Xiaorou, listen, this palace will explain to you how to play now, you have to remember."

"Yes, Concubine Xue, Xiaorou must study hard!"

"This chess, in fact, if you study it well, it is still very easy to learn, it is not difficult at all. Listen! ”

"Chess, to put it simply, there are ten lines horizontally and nine lines vertically. Because Chinese chess originated in ancient times, it is counted from right to left: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Nine. ”

Then, the ten horizontal lines are counted from the first of the opponent is "before", all the way to the last of your own, called "after".

"Xiaorou, do you understand?"

"Back to Concubine Xue's words, Xiaorou seems to have understood a little bit!" Xiao Rou scratched her head. Said stupidly.

Xiao Rou listened to it with little understanding, and it sounded as if she was listening to a book from heaven. After all, Xiaorou is just a girl, and she hasn't read many books, so when she says these professional words, she naturally can't understand them. But seeing Jiang Xinyu talking with relish, Xiaorou was embarrassed to interrupt Jiang Xinyu, so she could only listen like this. Xiaorou has not received any good education since she was a child, so she listened ignorantly.

In fact, Jiang Xinyu didn't know it before, and these such professional words were also seen inadvertently before, and then he wrote them down.

Jiang Xinyu was still talking there.

"Then, the second word is to represent the position of the chess pieces, which is the position of the nine vertical lines counting from the right to the left, usually a vertical line is a chess piece of its own side, Xiao Rou, do you know why?

"Xiaorou doesn't know, please give me more advice."

"This is because each side of the game has two identical pieces except for the pawns), and sometimes they are all on the same line, so the front and back are used.

Xiao Rou still listened very attentively.

"Okay, let's talk about it so much first, if you talk too much, you won't understand. Anyway, there will be more time in the future, so let's come step by step. Jiang Xinyu said.

Xiao Rou smiled and didn't speak.

Then Jiang Xinyu looked up at Xiao Rou, Xiao Rou looked fascinated there, but in fact, she only heard a little bit. Jiang Xinyu was helpless, anyway, chess couldn't be learned for a while. Take it easy. Jiang Xinyu has patience to teach.

"Xue Fei Niangniang, it's really like you said, it's a small game to test the mind, but it's just a test of the mind, but it's not a small game!"

Jiang Xinyu smiled. "Of course, you have to study hard!"

Although Xiao Rou can't learn and can't understand, but the two of them can play this together, at least they can pass the time, anyway, Jiang Xinyu is bored in the palace, she just plays with Xiao Rou like this, and saves all this boring time.

Mama Li, who was always standing on the side, felt very curious, and she listened to Xiaorou a lot while standing aside, but she didn't remember it at all, after all, people are old, and their brains are not good, and they can't remember things. But even if she learned it, it wouldn't work. But Mama Li felt that the thing called chess made by Concubine Xue was very curious, so she asked Jiang Xinyu.

"Concubine Xue, the slave maid has also been watching for a long time. Speaking of this thing of the Snow Concubine Niangniang, it really makes the slave and maid feel curious, the slave and maid have lived for such a long time, and it is the first time to see it! Xue Fei Niangniang knows so many things! ”

"Mama Li really praised the palace, where is the palace so powerful as Mama said, it's just some small tricks, not enough to worry about." Jiang Xinyu smiled.

"It's still the Snow Concubine who is very good, and she knows a lot of strange things. The slave has never seen the world, and following the Snow Concubine can be regarded as an eye-opener! ”

"Of course, we still have a lot of things in the Snow Concubine Niangniang!" Xiao Rou, who was on the side, interjected and said.

Jiang Xinyu just smiled and didn't speak. Then continue to play chess with Xiaorou, even if Xiaorou doesn't understand anything, it's just messing around.

Mama Li looked at it for a while, and then said to Jiang Xinyu, "Concubine Xue, the slave feels uncomfortable in her stomach, and the slave wants to ......"

"Well, this palace knows, if Mama feels uncomfortable, go down first!" Then Mama Li retreated!

At this time, Nangong Tian was reading in the study, and your father-in-law came to report that Mama Li asked to see her.

"Xuan."

"Yes."

Then Mama Li came in, "Meet the emperor, the slave has something to report." ”

"Mama Li has come to report something, could it be that something big happened in the Piaoxiang Palace?"

"No, the slave maid just thinks that Concubine Xue is doing something called chess recently, and the slave maid feels very curious, so she came to tell the emperor,"

"Oh, chess? I've never heard of this before, so you can step down, I know. Then Mama Li stepped back.

Nangong Tian was also curious, he had never heard of chess. As the emperor, he has seen a lot of rare treasures and novelties, and he has really never seen chess. Nangong Tian wanted to see what kind of novelty it was, but not now, he should find a time to see what kind of new things his Xue Concubine could make.

Nangong Tian smiled.

When Mama Li came back, Jiang Xinyu was still playing chess with Xiaorou. Xiaorou is still half-aware of playing, but Jiang Xinyu is very patient.

Mama Li came back and stood on the side to watch Jiang Xinyu and Xiaorou play chess.

In fact, Jiang Xinyu knew that Mama Li was not sick to her stomach just now, just looking at Mama Li's appearance when she walked, Jiang Xinyu felt that something was wrong, how could it be that her stomach was uncomfortable. She knew that Mama Li was going to find Nangong Tian,

Making such a novelty as chess by herself, Nangong Tian naturally wanted to know, and she didn't say anything more when Mama Li wanted to leave just now, otherwise she wouldn't have let Mama Li go. But Jiang Xinyu didn't care, she thought to herself, didn't she just do chess? It's not a violation of the rules of the palace, even if Nangong God knows, what can he do? Anyway, I am not afraid of shadows, and I haven't done anything wrong.

The entire palace is Nangong Tian, so the people in the entire palace are also Nangong Tian's eyeliner, and what they do is seen by others, so Jiang Xinyu is very careful in what he does in normal times, and he has never done anything excessive. Jiang Xinyu knew that no matter what she did, someone would see her, so it was not strange for Mama Li to go to Nangong Tian, because the palace was full of his people! I'm being watched all the time.

Because my mother thinks it doesn't matter, it's like this in the palace anyway, and you have to be careful when you enter the palace, otherwise you don't know how to die. Jiang Xinyu also knew that her every move after entering the palace would be reported to Nangong Tian, otherwise how could Nangong Tian let your father-in-law find such two loyal grandmothers! Jiang Xinyu thought to herself.

Jiang Xinyu is still playing chess with Xiaorou, and she is also very patient to teach Xiaorou little by little. Xiao Rou seems to be studying very seriously.
