My Lady is well

Chapter 131 Game of Chess

Jing Ruzhang looked at her with interest.

"Oh? From what you said, there are other ways to play this chess?"

Shen Yueyao rolled her eyes at him unhappily, but still had a faint smile on her face. She turned her gaze to Princess Mingxuan, who was dressed boldly and had bright makeup, and waited quietly for her answer.

Mingxuan gently raised her eyes, and her beautiful eyes looked lovingly at the man who made her heart beat.

Although she felt a little unhappy, she didn't want to disturb his interest, so she still had a bright smile on her face.

After all, she is a noble lady of the Beishu royal family. How could she take a woman of ordinary origin seriously?

After making inquiries in the palace over the past two days, Mingxuan already knew the details of the woman in front of him very well.

This person was the emperor's most favored concubine, but unfortunately she was of humble origin and her status was naturally not very high.

She had spent a large sum of money to obtain this information from a seemingly clever and intelligent young eunuch.

She looked at Shen Yueyao carefully for a few seconds, making a secret assessment in her mind.

The reason why this woman has won the emperor's favor must be her stunning beauty... Well, her figure is also quite graceful.

As he thought about it, Mingxuan's eyes became more and more wanton, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he asked with a smile.

"So, how do you want to play?"

Shen Yueyao couldn't help but feel a little relieved when she saw that the other party agreed.

If I really play Go against her, I have no chance of winning, but if I use a different approach, maybe I can still have a chance.

She took out a black piece and a white piece from the porcelain jar and held them gently in her palm. After looking at Mingxuan carefully for a few times with her intoxicating peach blossom eyes, she began to patiently explain the rules.

"Let's play guessing chess first. The black player goes first, and everyone places their pieces on the empty space on the board in turn. The first person to make five or more of his or her pieces line up in any horizontal, vertical or diagonal pattern wins. Do you think this is okay?"

Upon seeing this, Concubine Cao lowered her voice and asked Concubine Shu.

"What kind of chess method is this?"

Shu Meiren thought attentively for a moment and then answered.

"I'm not sure, but it does sound interesting."

Wen Xueshu was also a little uneasy. After all, this way of playing chess had never been heard of since ancient times. What tricks was Shen Yueyao playing?

Jing Ruzhang put his hands behind his back, his eyes showing a bit of appreciation. It was a good idea for Shen Yueyao to come up with such a simple way of playing chess.

He stood quietly behind her, wanting to see what she would do next.

Ming Xuan blinked a few times, thinking that this rule did not seem difficult to understand, and could even be said to be quite simple.

Because of this, she felt a little uneasy, and stared hesitantly at the other person's beautiful face, which was still radiant even without makeup.

Shen Yueyao keenly noticed Mingxuan's concerns, so she gave a gentle suggestion.

"How about we try a round first? How about that?"

Seeing Shen Yueyao's sincere attitude, Mingxuan nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Shen Yueyao quietly exchanged the chess pieces in her palm, and then motioned Mingxuan to guess.

Ming Xuan was not polite either. She stretched out her slender, white index finger and pointed precisely at Shen Yueyao's right hand and said.

"Kuroko."

Shen Yueyao opened her palm, and there was indeed a black spot.

Mingxuan showed a happy smile on her face and said proudly.

"Then I'll go first."

Shen Yueyao nodded slightly to show respect and responded softly.

"Princess please."

In the following game, Shen Yueyao put in some effort and unsurprisingly lost the game.

She showed a hint of regret, sighed softly, lowered her head, and her voice suddenly became low.

"You win."

Even more dejected than her were Concubine Shu and Concubine Cao, who lost in less than half an incense stick of time.

How can I get off the computer now?

They looked at Mingxuan's smug look and became as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

On the other hand, Jing Ruzhang had a calm expression on his face. He didn't believe that Shen Yueyao would come up with this move without any preparation and was waiting to lose?

Seeing that she was about to win the game so easily, Mingxuan bent her waist, puffed out her proud chest, and said in a tender voice with overflowing confidence.

"Let's officially get started."

Shen Yueyao frowned and nodded in embarrassment.

Jing Ruzhang glanced at the expression on her beautiful face. Under her half-drooped long eyelashes were a pair of calm eyes.

Shen Yueyao silently calculated each move, and naturally in less than half an incense stick of time, the three white pieces in a line were doomed to be unstoppable. When Shen Yueyao placed the black piece, six pieces were already connected.

Mingxuan's smile suddenly stopped. No wonder she was not panicked at all when she saw her white piece fall. It was obvious that he had planned it all along and was deliberately trying to lure her to make the move.

Did she lose on purpose just now? Her purpose was to make her underestimate the enemy.

Mingxuan was not willing to swallow this insult. She slammed the table, stood up, and glared at her, her snow-white face turning red with anger.

Shen Yueyao noticed something was wrong with her eyes and realized that there might be danger. She immediately stood up and took two steps back, staying away from her.

He said respectfully, "Thank you, thank you."

Jing Ruzhang moved a step to the right, stood in front of her and said in a cold voice.

"The princess lost."

Mingxuan glared at him aggrievedly, bit her lower lip, walked to Shen Yueyao and looked at her straight.

"Your name is Shen Yueyao?"

She smiled and nodded.

"I remember you."

"It's better not to remember it."

"You! Humph, there are not many people who can be remembered by this princess, let alone a woman."

As I got closer to her, the pungent fragrance from her body hit me again.

Shen Yueyao couldn't control herself for a moment, wow——

He vomited, and this time it was very embarrassing, as he happened to spit on the cloth on Princess Mingxuan's chest.

After vomiting, Shen Yueyao was stunned, and Mingxuan was also stunned.

Her face turned pale and she looked incredulous. Twice, the woman vomited in front of her.

This time he spit directly on her!

No, it's on the chest!

This hatred is irreconcilable!!!

Her face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it. Her white fingertips hooked into her fists, her knuckles were blue, and she squeezed out three words from between her teeth.

"Shen-Yue-Yao."

Shen Yueyao couldn't bear to look at her, feeling that she was being rude to the beauty. She knew very well that this matter could not be resolved by just saying "I'm sorry".

Seeing that the fight between the two was about to spread, Jing Ruzhang pulled Shen Yueyao over, put his arm around her waist and picked her up sideways, then quickly left this dangerous place and said in a deep voice.

"Since my beloved concubine is not feeling well, Luo Zhong, please summon the imperial physician to Zelu Palace immediately."

Mingxuan stomped her feet in anger and swore to teach Shen Yueyao a lesson.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Cao admired her angry look with great relief and whispered.

"She's actually quite good-looking."

"What's good about that? Look at the clothes she wears, what's the difference between that and not wearing any clothes?"

"Well... there is still a little difference."

"..."
