While Chu Qingyan was thinking about how to answer, Concubine Yue spoke again.
"Your Majesty, isn't this the daughter of Master Jing? Some time ago, Ben Gong also heard about the poems she wrote before. She is beautiful and well written."
Emperor Xixuan nodded and smiled, "Concubine Ai is right, Master Jing has cultivated a talented girl."
Jing Jin, who was named, immediately stood up to thank her, and then turned to Chu Qingyan, "Every time the little girl meets a talented woman, she can't help but want to ask for advice, and I hope Miss Chu will forgive me."
As expected of a veteran in the officialdom, a word or two made her respond even if she did not fight. People were so sincere, if she shied away, everyone would say that she was ignorant and domineering.
Chu Qingyan looked helplessly at the people around her, "Big Ice Cube, I can understand why you don't like dealing with people in the officialdom, each one is more cunning than the other."
Xiao Xu held her hand under the table and passed the warm temperature to her. He whispered firmly, "If you don't like it, just push it, it's fine."
With the big ice cube, Chu Qingyan's unhappiness disappeared.
She took his hand back and whispered, "Is it just to deal with a few children? You don't need to help me, I'll do it myself!"
With Concubine Yue and Emperor Xixuan interfering, and Jing Jin's help, she was pushed up to Liangshan, and she couldn't do it if she didn't!
But it is also a little strange, what is the origin of this Jing Mingzhu, how can even Concubine Yue help her
Chu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and stood up, "Thank you Miss Jing for your attention, and I hope you can give me more advice."
Jing Mingzhu nodded in satisfaction, but she still agreed.
It doesn't matter whether Chu Qingyan can play chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, anyway, she wants to let everyone see her talent and ability in this palace banquet, Chu Qingyan is just a pedal she wants.
Yesterday, her mother told her that Concubine Yue's eldest sister-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Right Prime Minister, Mrs. Fu, revealed that Concubine Yue liked her very much. Please order marriage.
Because of this incident, she was excited for a day yesterday. Before entering the palace today, she dressed up carefully, and wanted to show the fourth prince a bright spot and make him treat her differently. Unfortunately, I don’t know why, tonight’s palace banquet for the fourth prince She didn't participate, she prepared a game in vain.
But after seeing everyone's amazement at Chu Qingyan and her defeating Meng Shishu, Jing Mingzhu had an idea that she could take this opportunity to show herself and make Her Majesty and Concubine Yue satisfied with her. In this way, She is one step closer to the position of the fourth imperial concubine.
People have to compare, in order to highlight the ability.
So she chose Chu Qingyan, as long as she wins, she will be able to win the opportunity.
"Qin, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, please also ask Miss Chu to choose the same." In order to show that she is proficient, Jing Mingzhu looks like letting you choose.
Chu Qingyan happened to walk to the center of the arena, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but want to laugh. This person is really conceited and a little interesting.
"Then let's play chess!" These five items were not difficult for Chu Qingyan, but she suddenly felt itchy and wanted to play with someone other than the big ice cube.
Her chess skills were taught by Da Bingcui, and every time she lost to him, she felt very embarrassed, and Huo Ling and the others didn't dare to play against her at all, so this time she came to test her chess skills. to what extent.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different, and some even showed a look of schadenfreude.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Chu Qingyan's innocent appearance, coupled with this delicate and beautiful face, immediately made more than half of the young people fall for it.
One of the young soldiers said kindly, "That's right, a chess competition was held in Kyoto recently, and this Miss Jing was the winner in the end."
"I see." Chu Qingyan nodded, not expecting to pick on the opponent's strengths, but that's fine, she's qualified to be her opponent.
"Ms. Chu can choose to change the competition." At this time, Jing Mingzhu also graciously said that she could change.
Chu Qingyan felt that this person was really hypocritical. He was clearly proud and wanted to be a good person.
"No need, just this!"
Jing Mingzhu's eyes flashed with light, Chu Qingyan, this is your choice, don't blame me for not giving you face!
Soon, the chessboard was brought up.
On the side of the Royal Garden, a large chess surface was also erected, and two father-in-laws stood beside them. When the two were preparing to play chess, they still placed their chess pieces on the chess surface.
At first, Jing Mingzhu's face was very relaxed, but after halfway down, her expression immediately became tense, but this did not save her from the one-sided situation.
Because the competition system is based on the best of three games, after the two games ended, Chu Qingyan stood up and smiled, "I'll accept it."
After speaking, Chu Qingyan turned around neatly and left, this time, the big ice should have cleaned the fishbone!
Jing Mingzhu sat on the chair, staring blankly at the situation. In the first game, she was barely able to contain Chu Qingyan, but she clearly felt that Chu Qingyan had retained her strength, and finally let her only lose. three sons.
However, in the second game, she didn't react at all, and all her chess pieces were lost.
This person plays chess so terrifying, as if she doesn't need to think, every move she makes casually, but in the end, she can be trapped in the net all day long, and she doesn't even need to struggle to the death, she just ends up in a nest.
Jing Mingzhu appeared in the entire Imperial Garden, and other people who knew a little about chess couldn't help but study the game. Every move seemed useless, but there was a mystery. Even ministers with decades of experience in chess could Consciously not as good as her planning.
As the saying goes, handwriting can tell a person's character, and playing chess can tell a person's character. This Chu Qingyan looks young, but his heart is mature and stable, smart, and good at calculation. The ministers who played chess were not necessarily able to win her.
This girl is really amazing.
Jing Mingzhu didn't know that she wanted to step on Chu Qingyan to show herself to everyone, but in the end she made a wedding dress for others. Many ministers from the middle parties, as well as ministers who were highly respected in the DPRK and China, were all attracted to Chu Qingyan. I left a good impression. I thought that only men can play chess well, but today they are impressed. They think this is a girl who is excellent inside and outside, which is commendable!
This celebration banquet was originally intended to celebrate the Three Armies, but it finally became a personal show for Chu Qingyan. Those who wanted to try to challenge Chu Qingyan had to weigh their abilities at this time.
This Chu Qingyan is not only beautiful in appearance, but also literate and capable of martial arts. Many people present are wondering, what else is there that she can't do
