Du Liangren listened to Xiaoyu's words, was very satisfied, and even felt that everything was already in her hands, and thought that as long as Lu Yingquan helped, it would not be difficult for her to win the emperor's favor, and she would soon be able to surpass Xu Liangren.

The night was silent, and in the Changming Palace, Lu Yingquan was about to go to bed, but was disturbed by a sudden knock on the door outside, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Luo Song, the chief eunuch.

"Father-in-law Luo, shouldn't you accompany the emperor in Qutai Pavilion, why did you come back so soon?" Lu Yingquan was very puzzled.

"Don't mention it, this Xu Liangren doesn't know what's wrong today, something went wrong, and the emperor lost interest. The emperor has already returned, and he is sulking alone in the inner hall, Miss Lu, you better go and have a look, and I want to chat with the emperor to relieve my boredom. Luo Song said, "In the entire Changming Palace, it is estimated that the emperor can listen to a few words just what you say." ”

Lu Yingquan listened to Luo Song's words, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then please wait a while, let me change my clothes and go." ”

"Alright, girl, hurry up. Luo Song nodded, and then stood at the door and waited for Lu Yingquan to come out.

Lu Yingquan got dressed, cleaned up, and then opened the door, and followed Luo Song to the inner hall, and coincidentally, the palace maid who was on duty tonight was Furong.

Furong stood outside the hall, together with another palace maid, watching Luo Song bring Lu Yingquan to the emperor's bedroom, and then Luo Song came out and closed the door by the way, while Lu Yingquan was inside, and he never came out.

In the inner hall, Shen Ze was sitting on the foot, looking at the chessboard in front of him, with a pot of wine in his hand, and playing chess with himself while drinking.

"The emperor is really good Yaxing, he doesn't sleep at night, and he drinks and plays chess alone. Lu Yingquan stepped forward and said, "How boring is a person, why don't you find someone to accompany you?"

"What, you want to drink it too?" Shen Ze looked at Lu Yingquan and asked rhetorically.

In front of Lu Yingquan, he didn't have to pretend, anyway, there were only two of them in this palace. When Lu Yingquan was a third-class palace maid, his temperament had already been exposed, so there was no need to hold it in private.

"I don't know how to drink, but I think the emperor seems to be very depressed, why don't we play a game?" You play chess with me, whoever loses will drink, and if you lose, you can drink a few sips, how about it?" Lu Yingquan asked, and sat opposite Shen Ze by himself.

Lu Yingquan is probably the first palace maid in the Ning Palace who dares to talk to Shen Ze like this, even Yun Yao doesn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of Shen Ze, but Lu Yingquan is not afraid, because she understands Shen Ze and knows that the person in front of her is bound by this supreme throne, he actually has a chic and uninhibited heart, and yearns for a free and easy life the most.

What Shen Ze probably wants in his heart is not that 10,000 people bow down to him, but that he has so many confidants and friends who can crisscross the seas together, wander the rivers and lakes, talk to their hearts together, and talk about their life dreams.

Therefore, before Shen Ze's dream is realized, Lu Yingquan is willing to play this role, even if she is a woman, she can at least give Shen Ze some comfort.

But Lu Yingquan is not completely so great, she really sacrificed so much for Shen Zeken, she also has her own purpose in doing this, what she hopes most is to be able to save her life under Shen Ze's protection, live safely, and live until the day she leaves the palace.

"It's been so long, I didn't even know that you could play chess, and I dare to bet with me, could it be that you are very confident in your chess skills?" Shen Ze was aroused by Lu Yingquan's bet, he was originally a proud person, so he naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

"How good the chess skills are, you have to compare to know. Lu Yingquan said, "Your Majesty, do you agree?"

"Okay, I can't sleep anyway, so I'll play a few games with you. Shen Ze looked at Lu Yingquan's confident look, so he immediately agreed, and then the two of them each chose white and black and began to set up a game.

Lu Yingquan held the sunspot, Shen Ze held the white son, and the sunspot fell first, and Lu Yingquan did not hesitate and fell directly on Tianyuan.

Shen Ze was shocked by this move, he raised his eyes to look at the sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, and there was a slight shock in his heart, but he remained silent and continued to play chess.

Time passed minute by minute, and the speed at which the two of them fell was also very fast, Shen Ze was still hanging at first, thinking that Lu Yingquan was a girl, how could he not have any deep attainments, so he was a little careless, but as there were more and more chess pieces on the chessboard, his complexion became more and more dignified.

Just when Shen Ze wanted to fight back, but it was too late, Lu Yingquan fell and surrounded Shen Ze with a large number of white sons, blocking his way out.

"Your Majesty, you lost, drink the bar. Lu Yingquan looked at Shen Ze with a smile and said proudly.

"Hey, why did you win?" Shen Ze couldn't believe it, he looked at the situation on the chessboard, and sure enough, his white pieces had become dead chess, and Lu Yingquan had won him more than a dozen pieces.

"This is the consequence of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, I didn't expect my chess skills to be so superb, right?" Lu Yingquan asked, "Don't look at me as a palace maid now, but I used to be a young lady, where can I not do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially chess, my father said that girls can hone their minds when they play chess, and specially invited a master to teach me." ”

"It's really good, these dozen glasses of wine are owed first, let's come on. Shen Ze said, and then immediately cleaned up the chessboard again, ready to fight again.

"Your Majesty, you don't want to repay your debts, do you? Lu Yingquan pouted, unrelenting.

"If I'm drunk, how can I play? I owe it first, and maybe you'll lose the next, just to offset it. Shen Ze said.

But it was okay if he didn't say it, but the last sentence aroused Lu Yingquan's competitiveness, she quickly sat up straight, cheered up, and continued to play chess with Shen Ze.

This time, Shen Ze was much more serious than just now, and he was cautious with every step, and the speed of the two slowed down, but Lu Yingquan's chess move still shocked Shen Ze.

It is said that chess depends on character, and what it is like for a person to play chess can see her character from the side. And when Lu Yingquan fell first, he smashed Huanglong, and his momentum was unstoppable, and the white son who surrounded him later also faintly occupied half of the chessboard, which shows that she is not a royal Shangyi who is content with the status quo.

The two continued to play chess, and this time, Lu Yingquan won much more difficult than the last time, and only won Shen Ze by one and a half sons.

Especially Shen Ze, every time he loses a son, he feels that Lu Yingquan is indeed not to be underestimated, because he has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never seen a woman with such profound chess skills, especially this woman is only sixteen years old, which shows that she is extremely talented.

Maybe Lu Yingquan is not as good as Yun Yao in other places, and she is not as good as Yun Yao in planning the overall situation, but she also has her own advantages, and these advantages are her excellence, and they are also necessary for her to accompany the emperor. Yun Yao may be suitable to be a strategist, and Lu Yingquan is the one who can be compared.

The night is getting deeper, and after three games, Shen Ze has gradually figured out Lu Yingquan's chess path, and knows what kind of killer moves she loves, so he sees the moves, which is very handy.

Sure enough, as Shen Ze said before, the wine he owed was slowly offset, and after playing a full sixteen games of chess, Lu Yingquan could no longer occupy any advantage, no matter how she broke through, she was always sealed by Shen Ze, and in this game, she lost all the previous wins, and she was going to drink.

"I didn't drink anything just now, and said that I owe it, and you allow you to owe it once, and when you owe ten glasses, you have to drink it all at once. Shen Ze said to Lu Yingquan with a smile.

"Forget it, you're such a ghost, I won't be able to win later, I'll drink it now, it's too uncomfortable to drink ten cups at a time. Lu Yingquan was willing to gamble and lose, took the wine jug in Shen Ze's hand, and according to the rules he set, he took a few sips of wine, and then put down the wine jug and continued to play chess.

In fact, she was still calculated by Shen Ze, if Shen Ze had followed the rules at the beginning and drank if she lost, she might have drunk more than her, but she stupidly let Shen Ze offset it, and now she has dug a pit and buried herself.

Looking at Lu Yingquan, Shen Ze couldn't help but smile and was in a happy mood.

This is still the best mood he has been in in the past few days, it has nothing to do with his family and country, nothing to do with political struggles, nothing to do with harem strategy, it's just that he and the woman in front of him are not lovers, but friends who can talk to him, she understands him, helps him, and can even accompany him to drink to relieve boredom when he is depressed.

Lu Yingquan looked at Shen Ze and smiled, and couldn't help but laugh too, the silver bell-like laughter was crisp and pleasant, resounding throughout the inner hall of Changming Palace, faintly wafting out, reaching the ears of these people outside.

Luo Song stood outside the door, listening to this harmonious voice, and couldn't help nodding, sure enough, it was right to find Lu Yingquan, only she could make the emperor laugh so heartily.

And Furong on the side obviously heard this voice, she was extremely surprised in her heart, she didn't know what the situation between the emperor and Lu Yingquan was. After all, when Yun Yao was poisoned before, she was also recuperating in Changming Palace, and the emperor even made room for her dragon bed, but she didn't see how close the emperor and Yun Yao were.

But now, the emperor and Lu Yingquan have a very happy conversation.

In the inner hall, the chess game is still going on, and the more wine is drank, the more she drinks, but it is all Lu Yingquan who is drinking, she is no longer Shen Ze's opponent, even if she tries her best, she can only barely lose a son and a half, but there are more times, she is also a little drunk, her brain is a little confused, she is even less flexible in chess, and she loses more.

Such a vicious circle almost brought Lu Yingquan to a dead end, she was not very good at drinking, and the first time she drank so much, she couldn't bear it all of a sudden, so when she picked up the chess pieces again and wanted to fall on the chessboard, suddenly there was a snap, and the chess pieces fell, and Lu Yingquan's body was crooked, and he fell asleep directly on the chessboard.

Originally, a good chess game was also messed up by her, but Shen Ze not only did not get angry, but smiled a little helplessly.

After a while, seeing that Lu Yingquan really didn't mean to wake up, Shen Ze got up and walked to Lu Yingquan's side, picked her up by the waist, put her on the dragon bed, and covered her with a quilt.
