Ninety-second bowl of soup (seven)
Except for the brothers Zhao and Qi Ke Qiche, almost everyone waited for Qing Huan to lose with a hopeful attitude. They are all noble daughters of aristocratic families. They were brought up like jewels and treasures since they were young. They not only have to be familiar with the precepts of women, but also master everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Can a girl from the countryside become a princess? This is too unfair! Is it because she is beautiful? That's even more ridiculous. Those who work hard will get nothing, but those with a good face can enjoy it.
"How is it, miss." Qing Huan picked up a grape and peeled it with her fingers. The flesh was crystal clear, her fingertips were delicate and white, and she was really indescribably beautiful. Yu Sisi felt an unknown fire in her heart. "If you agree to my bet, you can't go back on it. I am the most important person to promise, you have to keep your word."
"Heh, this lady naturally keeps her word, but you, go back and prepare the dowry later!"
Seeing that she was still aggressive, Qing Huan didn't feel annoyed, she just put the grapes into Zhao's mouth and said, "Then let's start."
The prince couldn't help but said: "Miss Qi..."
Qing Huan glanced at him, only to see a worried light shining in the other's warm black eyes, she had no intention of marrying the prince, so she just smiled. When the prince saw her smile, he couldn't feel his heart fluttering. Before he could speak, Qing Huan had already ordered someone to put together several tables and tables: "Use local materials, let's compare it to you."
"Heh, don't let others think that I'm bullying you. Choose whatever you want! If I have any objections, I will lose!" Yu Sisi was full of confidence.
Hearing this, Qing Huan stared at her for a few seconds, wondering what kind of expression Yu Sisi would have if she proposed hand-to-hand combat. But she didn't ask for that, but chuckled, "Let's just play chess, I'm too lazy to move, so I just ask someone to bring the chessboard. But I'm also too lazy to compete with you for a second game, so the winner will be determined in one game. "
After finishing speaking, laughter emanated from the surroundings, and even Yu Sisi showed color on his face: "Are you sure you want to play a game of chess with me, or just this one?"
"That's right." The ending was soft, and the voice was very nice.
Before Sisi could speak, a girl in red laughed: "Miss Qi, don't say we didn't remind you, Miss Yu's chess skills are even praised by Prime Minister Yu. You are not looking ugly when you compete with her! Well, it’s better to admit defeat and surrender earlier!”
Qing Huan thought for a while, so what if Prime Minister Yu was full of praise? Is Prime Minister Yu good at chess? Not to mention how good her chess skills are, but in Ruan Yi's world before, she had a chess player who was known as the number one in the world to accompany her for daily entertainment. What is it? "Oh, that's more fun. If I can't win within twenty steps, I'll be considered a loser."
"Sister!" Qi Ke's calm face changed drastically, and he stood up, "I don't agree with this competition!"
Qi Che also stood up: "I don't agree either!"
The crown prince bowed his hands to the empress and saluted: "Father, empress, and the ministers think that such a contemptuous competition is really inappropriate. How can Miss Qi's lifelong event be treated as a trifle? What's more, Miss Qi has just returned to the Duke's mansion. Such a competition, It's too—"
"Prince." The emperor said in a deep voice, "Didn't Miss Qi say just now that a person must make a promise. Although it is a competition between a daughter's family, it should not be underestimated. You can just watch and make a judgment."
When he said this about the prince, he was actually warning the brothers of the Qi family that I acquiesced in this competition, and you should not act rashly.
"It's so good." Yu Sisi looked at the crown prince with a shy face, "His Royal Highness is proficient in the six arts, and Si Si has always wanted to ask His Highness for advice."
"Hello."
Suddenly someone called her, and when Yu Sisi turned her head, Qing Huan was already sitting on the edge of the chessboard, holding a sunspot in her hand. "Whether you are going down or not, I still have to wait for you."
Yu Sisi was treated so unceremoniously in front of her sweetheart, she immediately became annoyed, she lifted her skirt and walked to the desk, she saw Qing Huan sitting lazily cross-legged, this posture was not ladylike enough, but she did it, but she didn't know Why does it have a romantic and unrestrained taste. Yu Sisi also knelt down and sat upright. She was confident in her chess skills and she wanted to make Qing Huan look good.
But not long after the drop, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. What's going on... She can't see the opponent's chess moves!
Yu Sisi has always loved playing chess, and was deeply influenced by her father, Prime Minister Yu. When Prime Minister Yu saw that the jewel in his palm was interested in Go, he tried to find a famous teacher for her, and found a lot of broken name books. It can be said that Yu Sisi Si Si's chess skills have reached a peak, which is why she was so happy when she heard that Qing Huan was going to play chess. But now she felt that she was too happy. Not only could she not see the opponent's chess moves, she didn't even know where to play!
No matter how she planned to play, how long had it been since the opponent was able to block her way first? There is no time for half a stick of incense! The opponent didn't hesitate when playing chess, but she had to think about it for a long time when she picked up a chess piece, and even her hands were shaking!
The people in the imperial garden today are all high-ranking female family members, young talents and important officials of the imperial court. There are not a few people who know how to play chess. Just hearing the sound of the eunuch reporting the game, one can already know the final victory or defeat of the game. Who would have thought that this girl who had been raised in the countryside for fifteen years would have such abilities
"Big brother, I want to eat grapes, can you peel them for me?" Qing Huan waved to Qi Ke.
Qi Ke came over without changing his face, from the worry and anger in his eyes at the beginning, only a leisurely smile was left at this moment.
Qi Che came over with him, but instead of peeling the grapes, he brought a teacup to Qing Huan's lips: "Come on, sister, are you thirsty?"
With the handsome man by his side, Qing Huan was in a great mood. Especially Mrs. Zhao smiled happily beside her. She thought this smile was very beautiful, so she wanted to make Mrs. Zhao happy for a while.
Soon, someone saw that Miss Qi's family was playing with Miss Yu. She could have ended the game of chess directly, but she wanted to let the water go. It's like a cat that catches a mouse and never eats it directly, but catches it and releases it, until it gets tired of playing, and then bites off the other's neck.
The most honorable people in the world are here, but she is unmoved in the slightest, and doesn't take them seriously at all. "Ah, sorry, it's the twentieth step."
The chess piece in Yu Sisi's hand fell to the board with a clatter, but this could not restore her defeat.
Qing Huan opened her mouth to eat the grapes that Qi Ke brought to her mouth, and stood up: "So, it's time for Miss Yu to go home and prepare the dowry. As the saying goes, marry high and marry low, it is your blessing that my groom can marry you. "? ?
People were stunned, a lowly groom, a domestic slave who signed a contract of sale, and married the prime minister's prostitute, is it still called high marriage and low marriage? ?
The queen immediately felt that Miss Qi was too mean to be the crown princess. So she coughed lightly and said, "Miss Qi."
"Empress Empress."
No lady from any other family had ever dared to look directly at her like this. Her eyes were so clean that even the empress who had experienced a lot of wind and waves couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, as if she could clearly see what was going on in her mind.
"Miss Qi, I feel that it's really hard to convince the public that it's only one game. Miss Yu may not be able to perform properly because of her unwell body today. I think—"
One by one, she felt that she was actually discussing with Qing Huan. Qing Huan said with a half-smile but not a smile: "The Empress Dowager has a kind heart, but it's a pity that the courtiers don't agree with what the Empress Empress said, but anyone who has some ink in their stomachs and knows a little bit about Go knows that this is not Miss Yu's abnormal performance, but In front of the courtiers, she is at this level, even if she is asked to rest for ten or twenty years, she will still be a loser. But since the empress empress has mentioned it, the ministers have to give the empress empress some face." She walked to a corner In the hands of the palace lady holding the qin, she sat on the ground casually, and with a light movement of her fingers, a tune with lingering lingering sounds popped out.
In just a moment, everyone was mesmerized, and even the colorful butterflies flying all over the garden stopped on the flowers. Qing Huan's point was over, but everyone hadn't come back to their senses.
She said with a smile: "Qin chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu, if there is any competition, the courtiers will agree, but no matter what the competition is, she will not even want to win."
After finishing speaking, she added another sentence: "No one can win."
Some skills, just a little exposure, can make people know the depth of the means. Who would have thought that a fifteen-year-old girl who grew up in the countryside would be so talented? She sat on the ground among the crowd, but she was as warm and dazzling as the sun.
The prince couldn't help smiling: "Miss Qi is so amazing."
He praised her sincerely, and Qing Huan smiled: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness."
It was hard for everyone to come back to their senses, and they heard such wild words that were almost defiant, but no one dared to raise their beaks, because no one thought they could win. They stood there awkwardly, and finally the emperor with complex eyes spoke. Here he is the biggest and most honorable, and anyone has to buy his face. "Okay, okay, it's just a joke between two little girls, let's stop here, go back to your seats!"
Finally someone rescued her, and Yu Sisi wanted to leave immediately, but Qing Huan let out a sigh: "Ah, is the emperor going to ignore my previous bet with Miss Yu? I remember that the emperor said just now that a man must make a promise. Why is Miss Yu the loser, so this promise can be written off?"
How disrespectful!
This is disrespectful! Who dares to talk to the emperor like this! Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale, and the emperor's complexion was even more ugly. He was cheating, and no one had ever said that to him!
