Chapter 143 Yin and Yang in Chess, Tao is the Warp and Weft

Concubine Zhao Shufei retracted her gaze, flashing a hint of narrowness.

These concubines stayed in the harem all day long, and every day they were thinking about adding to the blockage of their opponents.

Zhao Shufei doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays, she just likes to watch Zhang Guifei's deflated expression.

Who in the palace didn't know that Zhang Guifei wanted to help her eldest son ascend to the throne.

It's just that Zhang Guifei's children are really not angry.

Otherwise, Zhang Guifei would not have kept a straight face all day long like she is now, as if no one owes her money.

Zhao Feng's preparations were soon over.

After arranging the tables, chairs and chessboard, the eunuchs in flowery clothes retreated one after another to make way for the venue.

Zhao Feng walked to the center of the venue and announced loudly in front of everyone: "Pass on Your Majesty's message." ”

"Today's Imperial Garden Contest is about-"

Zhao Feng said and dragged out a long tail note, attracting the eyes of many expectants.

Then he suddenly pulled out a scroll from his sleeve and unfolded it in front of everyone.

【Backgammon】

Looking at the three words written by the royal pen on the scroll, everyone present seemed to be holding down the pause button.

Even Li Xuan was stunned in place, stunned.

No one thought that the competition project of Emperor Yongyuan would be such a child's play.

There were also those who did not believe in evil and counted them, and found that there were indeed three words on the scroll, not two.

But the handwriting of Emperor Yongyuan was recognized by many people present.

On that scroll, the three words "backgammon" are indeed in the handwriting of Emperor Yongyuan.

A young prince couldn't help but ask boldly, "Manager Zhao, did you take the wrong scroll?" ”

Zhao Feng shook his head firmly and replied, "Your Majesty, only give the old slave this scroll." ”

Then he asked in a dangerous tone, "Or does anyone think it should be something else?" ”

"Uh......"

Zhao Fengdu asked so, who would dare to be verbose.

Zhang Guifei also sensed that something was wrong, looked at the person who asked before, and couldn't help but glance around, checking everyone's reactions.

Concubine Zhao Shufei and Feng Zhaoyuan exchanged glances vaguely, shook their heads lightly with each other, and did not communicate more.

Others are also looking at their noses and noses, with an attitude of "no opinion at all, don't ask me".

Zhao Feng snorted coldly, and then said: "Please also ask Your Highnesses to come up and draw lots, group duels, and the winner will advance." ”

"The one who wins in the end is the top spot today."

Zhao Bong didn't have much smile on his face today, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

The princes and princesses stepped forward to draw lots, hoping not to draw a powerful opponent at the beginning.

Although Princess Ankang is now able to walk on her own, she is still in a wheelchair.

There is no need to let these siblings know that there will be no good in her health.

Princess Ankang considered that she was "unable to move", so she asked Yu'er to wait until the end to get her own sign.

The three little ones of Jingyang Palace waited quietly for the other princes and princesses to draw lots, and then let Yu'er push the wheelchair forward.

Zhao Feng picked up the bucket with only one skewer left in both hands and sent it to Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang smiled and thanked her, then drew her own stick.

"Seven."

Seeing that Princess Ankang had also finished drawing lots, Zhao Fengcai showed a heartfelt smile.

In the venue, each table is numbered.

Yu'er pushed Princess Ankang to the seventh table, and the eunuch in flowery clothes, who was waiting on the side, immediately moved a chair that was originally placed on the side of the table to make room for Princess Ankang's wheelchair.

Princess Ankang's opponent is a little bean ding, and she is also a familiar face.

"Isn't this the little master who taught me the Mighty Vajra leg?"

Seeing that the familiar little prince was opposite, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The little prince was full of fighting spirit, and he looked like he had won, and said wildly to Princess Ankang: "Thirteen Emperor Sisters, I won't let you." ”

"The chessboard is like a battlefield, there is only victory and defeat on the battlefield, and there is no emotion!"

Princess Ankang couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, nodded and said, "Okay, good, please ask the nineteenth brother for more advice." ”

Li Xuan, who was in Princess Ankang's arms, couldn't help but be amused.

"You're pretty arrogant."

Although he and Yu'er are stinky chess baskets on equal footing, Princess Ankang is different, and her strength completely crushes them.

It's just backgammon, but it's also very powerful.

Thinking about it, the competition items set up by Emperor Yongyuan are also reasonable.

If you play Go, I'm afraid that these little beans don't even understand the rules.

It's better to play backgammon, even if they haven't played it before, and they only need a little explanation to understand the rules.

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, at least there's a sense of participation.

At first, Xiaodouding was full of fighting spirit, but after less than twenty sons, he began to be full of cold sweat.

He was holding a chess piece, not playing here, not playing there, and he was undecided for a long time.

Xiao Douding looked at the white pieces on the chessboard that had been connected into four, and didn't know where to block.

Princess Ankang was not in a hurry, silently watching Xiao Douding struggling there uselessly, and secretly laughed.

At this time, one of Xiao Douding's attendants leaned into his ear and reminded him softly: "Your Highness, you have lost." ”

"Hurry up and vote."

Where could Xiao Douding hear this big truth, and immediately sprinkled on his seat, shouting and shouting.

"I didn't lose, I didn't lose!"

"I didn't pay attention just now, this one doesn't count!"

"One more, one more ......"

The attendant was accustomed to it and glanced at the audience.

There was a young concubine there, one hand covering her eyebrows, and the other hand weakly beckoning to the attendant.

The attendant received the master's signal, and directly picked up Xiaodouding and walked down the stage, and said apologetically to Princess Ankang before leaving: "Your Highness, I've caused you trouble." ”

Princess Ankang smiled and waved her hand, sending away her nineteenth brother.

Although she has never left Jingyang Palace very often, thanks to the monthly imperial garden party, she at least knows most of her brothers and sisters, and the order is silently remembered in her heart.

As for those younger siblings who are too young, or have just been born, to attend the royal garden party, Princess Ankang is completely unfamiliar.

No one will talk to her about these things.

Fortunately, there is a eunuch in charge of being a referee at every table, even if Xiaodouding is sprinkled, the eunuch in flowery clothes still announces the result seriously and responsibly.

"Thirteen princesses, win!"

In a row, Wolong is out of the mountain!

Li Xuan shouted for Princess Ankang in his heart.

"Little Douding, you still dare to compete, it's really ridiculous."

Backgammon wins and loses relatively quickly, especially when there is a huge disparity in strength.

Basically, in the first round, all the beans were slaughtered, and the winner was waiting for the next round to begin.

Of course, because the draw is relatively random, there are also cases of Xiaodouding against Xiaodouding, so there are a few games that are particularly anxious, and the chessboard is almost full.

If it weren't even for the referee to remind them, they wouldn't have known that the winner had been decided, and they would still be there.

Taking advantage of this lively effort, Concubine Zhao Shufei communicated with Feng Zhaoyuan.

I saw Concubine Zhao Shu's lips move, and she whispered to Feng Zhaoyuan: "The silk cloth thing is rotten in the stomach, don't mention it again in the future." ”

"I will also tell the others to forget about it, and if Your Majesty asks, just push it on me, and I will help you stop it."

"The other party put the silk cloth on your bed, but I am afraid that I will not be well-intentioned."

"But you don't have to worry too much, the other party can't even give up the bait, it's not enough."

Feng Zhaoyuan nodded, but her mood was inevitably a little heavy.

Concubine Zhao Shufei combed her hair with some distress, and comforted: "You did the right thing in this matter, don't think about it." ”

"Smile more, otherwise it will affect the child."

Feng Zhaoyuan's heart warmed, and she replied softly: "Thank you for your concern." ”

Concubine Zhao Shufei patted Feng Zhaoyuan's slightly curved back and asked her to raise her chest.

Then, Concubine Zhao Shu's gaze swept in the pavilion, and the other concubines immediately understood what they meant.

The concubine who had an heir immediately pulled her child aside and whispered something.

And if the heir is still playing on the field, he instructs the attendants, and after the game is over, he will immediately invite people back for a trip, and he has something to say.

Zhao Shufei didn't dwell on this issue, and even in her opinion, it was a good thing that she didn't guess the topic.

……

In another pavilion, Concubine Zhang's gaze was locked on the eldest prince.

The eldest prince successfully defeated his first opponent and was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, preparing for the next round.

It's just that although Zhao Shufei's actions were vague, they still attracted Zhang Guifei's attention, and she just didn't show it.

There is no rational basis for this judgment, but Zhang Guifei is extremely convinced.

It was a smell of something wrong in the flow of the atmosphere.

This is a subjective perceptual judgment, but Zhang Guifei judged that something happened to Zhao Shufei based on this feeling.

Zhang Guifei quietly summoned the attendants and ordered some things.

The confrontation in the harem is like this, in the silence, the winner can be decided.

Zhang Guifei smelled a suspicious flaw, so naturally there was no reason to let it go.

……

The first round of the competition is finally over.

Princess Ankang was taken to table five for the next round as she advanced.

This time, his opponent was not Xiao Douding, but a prince who was one or two years older than Princess Ankang.

It's just that this prince has big dark circles under his eyes and looks like he has no energy.

And of course.

He studied the chess game all night last night, and memorized more than a dozen practical routines.

As a result, who would have thought that today's competition turned out to be backgammon.

If this prince hadn't met Xiao Douding in the first round, I'm afraid that his mentality would collapse now.

Who can understand the pain of studying all night and ending up in the wrong subject?

The second round continues.

Princess Ankang faced the prince who had a collapsed mentality, and pressed step by step without hurrying, and after a long and protracted battle, she seized the opportunity to seize the opportunity when the opponent's sleepiness attacked, and finally completed the five-star series at the last moment.

Double-in-a-row, fight to fame!

Princess Ankang won consecutive battles and advanced to the next round again.

The prince who had fallen asleep was hurriedly carried away by his attendants, but the movement was not small, and some people began to talk about whether the prince was killed by Princess Ankang and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Thinking back to the performance of the last beast taming competition, Princess Ankang's dark horse theory was mentioned again and became the favorite in today's backgammon competition.

Even Li Xuan and Yu'er couldn't help but be moved, and the hope of winning the championship was rekindled in their hearts.

"Hey, it looks like there's a play."

"These guys don't seem to be as good at backgammon as Yu'er (Ah Xuan)."

One person and one cat glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's excitement.

Their thoughts at this moment are surprisingly similar.

Only Princess Ankang was calm and calm, and she only smiled slightly in the face of the winning streak, with a confident look of victory.

Yin and yang in chess, and the Tao is the warp and weft.
