Work overtime

Jiang Yuebai said respectfully, "I was just thinking that this auspiciousness appeared in Cining Palace because the Queen Mother's virtue moved heaven. The Queen Mother dedicated herself to the Buddha and raised an emperor with both virtue and virtue. He has become a living Bodhisattva in the world. , Cining Palace is naturally a blessed place on earth. It is the empress’s fortieth birthday, so it will show auspicious signs in advance. The reason why I recovered so quickly from my illness must be because of the blessing of the empress dowager. "

The Queen Mother's eyes were bright, and her originally gloomy face became lively and soft, with a smile on her face.

No one likes to hear flattery, especially flattery that is well-founded and irrefutable.

There's something special about making your mother-in-law happy, and the same goes for making your boss happy.

The Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, and Jiang Yuebai's flattery touched her heart.

Because the Buddha’s Pure Land in the Buddhist scriptures is full of such auspiciousness.According to literature, people who devote themselves to the Buddha and achieve success in practice will also experience various auspicious phenomena, such as colorful auspicious clouds, goddesses scattering flowers, birds paying homage to the phoenix, cranes singing in unison, etc.

Li Beichen smiled in his heart, "Jiaojiao, you, you, you, you are a flatterer, you are so good at talking and pleasing people. You not only praised the Queen Mother, but also praised her son."I will thank you very much when I look back, for helping me to coax my queen mother.

"Mother, I think what Jiao Jiao said makes sense. This kind of auspiciousness does not appear anywhere else, but it appears in Cining Palace. It is precisely because the mother practices the Dharma, is kind and tolerant, and has achieved quite a lot. It also coincides with her fortieth birthday. , so the auspiciousness comes from the sky. Xu Fuhai, quickly send a soft sedan to pick up Yuan Tianshi to Cining Palace."

The Queen Mother nodded, looked at each other and smiled with her son, "What you said doesn't count. I'll have to listen to what Master Yuan Tianshi has to say later."

Even if you brag, you still need an official platform from an authoritative person.

The Queen Mother was filled with excitement. After thinking for a moment, she said to Li Beichen, "The Ai family would like to invite Master Kuanji, the abbot of Guangji Temple, to enter the palace. In this auspicious place, set up an altar to chant sutras and recite mantras to pray for the people's livelihood and the country, and to bless the Ming Dynasty. The weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. What does the emperor wish?"

"The Queen Mother's proposal is very good," Li Beichen turned around and told Xu Fuhai, "Invite Gu Yangqing, the Minister of Rites, Murong Chi, the Minister of Hubu, Yuan Tianshi, the Superintendent of Qintian Supervisor, and Master Kuanji, the host of Guangji Temple, to visit Qinzheng Hall in the afternoon."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Xu Fuhai was such a good man. In addition to sending people to convey the order, he also relayed Jiang Yuebai's words in detail to the little eunuch who sent the letter, and ordered him to inform Yuan Tianshi.

As for how Yuan Tianshi can achieve perfection, it is because he specializes in the art and is his own business scope.

On major issues, directional mistakes cannot be made.

Understanding what is meant and how to say it are more important in the Chinese cultural system than professionalism in doing things.

It will take some time for Yuan Tianshi to arrive.

The Queen Mother, Li Beichen and Jiang Yuebai sat and rested and chatted at Lingbo Pavilion by the pond.

The maids placed tea, snacks, fruits, and chessboards in the pavilion by the pond.

Because of what happened yesterday, there was still some gap between the Queen Mother and Li Beichen. The two sides tacitly avoided talking about it, but the doubts and hurt in their hearts were not resolved, so they couldn't talk for a few words and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Li Beichen suggested, "My son hasn't played chess with his mother for a long time. How about playing a game today?"

The Queen Mother said with disgust, "The Aijia wants to ask Rui Bin to accompany the Aijia. You always go to great lengths to let the Aijia win, and it is really boring to let the Aijia win unclearly. Ruibin, you play chess with the Aijia. . If you win against the Ai family, how about the Ai family make you their noble concubine?"

Jiang Yuebai's heart, huh?When did the bits become a bet.

However, Li Beichen knew that this was the queen's initiative to show her kindness, which meant that the story of Jiang Yuebai's unauthorized promotion to Jin Dynasty was over.The Queen Mother not only approved this promotion, but also implicitly stated that if she still serves the country in the future, she would not object to the emperor promoting her again.

"Is this true?" Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up when he heard that he was going to be promoted to the throne.

When the Queen Mother saw Jiang Yuebai, who had always been calm and collected, naturally showing the competitiveness of a girl, she actually found it a bit cute.

Deliberately lowering his voice to scare her, "Do you still dare to question the Ai family?"

"How can I dare? I just think that I am very lucky today. Such good things have happened to me again." Jiang Yuebai smiled brightly and looked even more smart and charming in a peach-pink dress.

I have to thank Eunuch Liu for his careful arrangements.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and glanced at Li Beichen, "You haven't beaten the Aijia yet. Don't worry about being happy and rejoicing in vain. Most people can't win the Aijia's chess game."

Don't dare to win either.

"The Queen Mother has given me the opportunity, and I must make good use of it to live up to your hard work." Jiang Yuebai said with a smile.

Li Beichen almost laughed.Queen Mother, she is making things difficult for you, but it would be better for you not to know what is good or bad, and simply hold her up to heaven as a Buddha or a Bodhisattva.

The Queen Mother thought the same as Li Beichen, with a sneer on her lips.Thank you for your hard work~
Jiang Yuebai secretly complained in his heart.Sure enough, you can't be lazy.

When she first learned Go, she felt that it was too difficult and she really had no talent, so she worked hard, but not to the death.If I had known, this stuff would one day involve professional title evaluation.She has to learn and practice everything she says.

Unfortunately, regret is useless, so I can only bite the bullet and go for it.The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing, and casually dropped the chess piece.

After the tenth son, the Empress Dowager had basically set up a plan, and she could see Jiang Yuebai's level.

To sum it up in four words: "vulnerable."

In the eyes of a master like the Queen Mother, Jiang Yue Bai Luozi was simply a mess, without any plan and full of flaws.

Jiang Yuebai was sweating, and his moves were getting slower and slower.

When she made a move, the Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore and said, "The Ai family allows you to regret your move and you can make a new move."

Jiang Yuebai picked up the Baizi obediently, but didn't know where to put it.

There was a smile on Li Beichen's lips.Because it was only then that I realized that Jiang Yuebai's chess skills were very average.Last time I played the endgame, I did pretty well. I guess I just relied on luck.

Since he couldn't defeat her technically, Jiang Yuebai decided to use a trick against the Queen Mother.

She entered instructions to the Queen Mother in her mind, "The Ai family should simply lose to Rui Concubine and promote her to Noble Concubine to make the Emperor happy."

After receiving the order, the Queen Mother looked at Jiang Yuebai and then Li Beichen in confusion and shock.She didn't understand what was happening, that she had such ridiculous thoughts in her mind.

Taking the initiative to lose to Rui Bin?Why!The Queen Mother felt that she must have been so angry with her son, otherwise how could she have such ridiculous ideas.

Seeing that the Queen Mother refused to execute it, Jiang Yuebai had to change the command line to a more realistic one.

"It's not honorable for such a great chess player from the Ai family to beat someone as bad as Rui Bin. It's better to go with the flow and let the emperor join the chess game. If the emperor can beat the Ai family, then the Ai family's words will count."

After the Queen Mother received the order, she happened to hear the announcement that Master Yuan Tianshi had arrived, so she said to Jiang Yuebai: "You are too slow to make moves. It is almost impossible to win against the Aijia. If the Emperor is willing to help you finish the game, you will win." Ai Jia, what Ai Jia just said still stands. If you lose, just admit defeat."

Jiang Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, this time he finally succeeded.

It seems that in order to influence the Queen Mother's strong will, she must have perfect and strong logic to convince her.Entering ideas that are too ridiculous are of no use at all.

She looked at Li Beichen pitifully, and her tone was deliberately very plain, not daring to be a little coquettish:

"The Queen Mother's chess skills are really superb. Your Majesty, can you help me for a moment?"

"Okay." Li Beichen was happy and kept his expression calm like Jiang Yuebai's tacit agreement.

In front of the Queen Mother, she would definitely die quickly if she showed affection.

After speaking, Li Beichen placed a piece on the chessboard.

The Queen Mother looked at it and chuckled.

That's it?

This robe is full of holes. No matter how clever you are, you can't mend it and wear it out.

Jiang Yuebai held her chin and silently watched the Queen Mother and her son fight through their own endgame.

The two fell quickly.It didn't take long to see the result.

Li Beichen announced with great regret that he had lost and the Queen Mother had won.

The Queen Mother who won the chess game felt even happier and showed a cheerful smile.

Jiang Yuebai wore a smiling mask, feeling extremely regretful inside.

The duck that I got actually flew, flew!

Skills are not as good as people, skills are not as good as people!
No wonder others.

It seemed that the first nine steps he had taken were so bad that even the emperor could not turn things around.

However, Yuan Tianshi, who was silently watching the chess game next to him, saw that the emperor deliberately lost to the queen mother.
