After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 177 Sister, You Lost

When the drumming stopped, the peony flower turned exactly in a circle and fell into the hands of Mrs. Cui (Mrs. Cui Xiang).

Mrs. Cui is over 50 years old, but her face is still fair and smooth, and she looks like she is in her thirties.

Only a few small wrinkles at the end of her eyes and eyes that have accumulated over time betrayed her age.

She has a crimson embroidered peony forehead bandage on her forehead, a vermilion silk double-breasted large-sleeved shirt that can only be worn by first-class ladies, and a dark cyan Xiapei embroidered with gold and cloud patterns in front of her body.

He looked elegant and noble, and every move seemed to have etiquette and dogma engraved into his bones. Even the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to be measured with a ruler.

She can be called a role model for all married women.

Bai Wei, another personal servant of the queen, came to her with a tray and said, "Madam, please take out the flower slips."

Mrs. Cui casually pulled out a flower note.

The requirements on the flower note are nothing more than writing poetry, painting, playing the piano and playing music.

As a child who has read poetry and books and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, these are not a problem for her.

However, when she saw the content on the flower note, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Madam A asked anxiously: "Mrs. Cui, what is written on the flower note?"

Mrs. Cui frowned and refused to say it.

She suspected that the Queen was deliberately playing tricks on them when she proposed to play drumming and passing flowers!
What was written on the flower note was - leap frog ten times around the pillar.

Let her, a dignified daughter of the Lu family and the wife of the prime minister, jump around in front of a large audience?How dignified!

Even if she didn't want the recipe, she wouldn't do such a shameful thing.

Mrs. Cui threw the flower note back into the lottery tube, "I abstain from voting and will punish myself with three drinks."

Her move made others even more curious.

What is written on the flower note that even Mrs. Cui can't do?

Would you rather punish yourself with three cups or abstain?
Mrs. Cui finished her three glasses of wine and continued playing drums and passing flowers.

This time, the peony fell into the hands of a girl in her early ten years.

She pulled out a piece of paper and read the words on it while reading: "Imitate pig noises?"

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes involuntarily glanced at Mrs. Cui's face.

Couldn't this be the one Mrs. Cui drew just now?
No wonder she doesn't want to perform in front of people.

If it were them, they would also abstain.

Isn't it insulting to let people of their status imitate pig braying in public?
In fact, everyone misunderstood the queen. The request on the flower note was not written by the queen, but made by Lin Xi.

Since we are playing games, of course we should do it as we please. What’s the point of being pretentious?
The little girl looked at her mother for help, "Mom, what does the pig sound like?"

Her mother shook her head: "Mom doesn't know either."

So this round of challenges failed again.

By now, everyone has finally figured out that the queen's suggestion to play drumming and passing flowers was definitely not to give them recipes, but to deliberately tease them!
However, with those recipes hanging around, they could not throw away their sleeves decisively and leave, so they could only continue to sit without embarrassment.

Until, Lu Sanniang, a girl from the Ministry of Etiquette, got peonies.

The flower note she drew said - Randomly select one person from the field to have a competition, and the content of the competition is limited to music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Lu Sanniang immediately felt stable.

After knowing the content on the flower note, the others also laughed, with a hint of watching a play in their smiles.

"Lu Sanniang is a talented woman known to everyone in the capital. She is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is especially good at playing chess. Now, there will be something good to see."

"Lu Sanniang was taught by Mr. Lu himself. Even Prime Minister Cui lost to her. Who among the people in the palace can be her opponent?"

"I just hope Lu Sanniang will never choose me, otherwise I will be embarrassed in public."

Lu Sanniang looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Lin Xi who was sitting at the top: "Little sister, play a game of chess with your sister, okay?"

The people who come to the banquet are all family members of high-ranking officials. No matter who she chooses, she will offend that person——

It is impossible for her to lose, so the only loser is the person she chooses.

Anyone who loses in a chess game like this would be embarrassed.

Then he is likely to blame her.

In this case, then choose an ignorant child.

If a child loses, he loses, and he will forget about it when he turns around.Everyone present also knows how superb his chess skills are and will not think that he is invincible.

This is why Lu Sanniang chose Lin Xi.

But what she didn't know was that she would regret it endlessly.

At this moment, she had a confident smile on her face, thinking that she was about to get a recipe.

Lin Xi smiled at her, as bright as the morning sun: "Okay."

The queen didn't stop her, just let Xibao have fun, it doesn't matter if he loses.

The palace servants brought in a desk and placed it in the center of the palace. The chessboard and chess bowl were also placed.

Lin Xi and Lu Sanniang sat opposite each other.

Lu Sanniang asked softly: "Little sister, can you play chess?"

Lin Xi: Is it too late to ask her this question now?
She nodded, "Sister, I'm very good at playing chess. Be careful not to lose."

Lu Sanniang smiled and did not take her words seriously.

Can a two-year-old child, if he knows how to play chess, beat her?
She started playing chess with her grandfather when she was only three years old. After his step-by-step instruction and decades of continuous study, she developed her current superb chess skills.

What is this kid comparing to her?

"Little sister, you go first, sister will let you have a baby."

Lin Xi didn't show any pretense to her, she picked up a white stone and dropped it on the chessboard, playing it very casually.

It's just like playing, there seems to be no rules at all.

Lu Sanniang became more and more certain that she would win this game.

But soon, the smile on her face disappeared and she looked at the chessboard in disbelief.

Look at Lin Xi again.

She still looked innocent and innocent, as if she had no idea how amazing her chess game was.

She must have hit it by accident——

Lin Xi: "Sister, I'll eat these pieces."

The small hands took away the few surrounded sunspots.

When playing chess, surrounding the opponent's pieces and then taking them away was her favorite thing to do.

Lu Sanniang looked at the smile on her face and suddenly realized that this little girl did not eat her own chess pieces by accident, but -

She can indeed play chess, and her level is not bad.

Lu Sanniang's expression became solemn. She had underestimated the enemy. She should not be careless because she thought the opponent was a two-year-old child.

Unfortunately, even if she realized this, she still couldn't reverse her defeat.

He watched helplessly as his sunspots were swallowed up in large areas.

Then it was taken away by Lin Xi.

After just a cup of tea, when she picked up the chess pieces again, she found that she had no way out!
Lin Xi: "Sister, you lose."

Lu Sanniang seemed to be petrified, staring at the chessboard, motionless.

Everyone was shocked.

"What? Lu Sanniang actually lost?"

"How is this possible? Lu Sanniang's chess skills are even praised by Prime Minister Cui."

"That kid actually beat Lu Sanniang. Doesn't this mean that her chess skills are still better than Lu Sanniang's!"

A two-year-old girl. Children of the same age as her may still be drinking milk at this moment (Little Princess Fengyang: I was accidentally connoted), but she can actually beat Lu Sanniang in chess!

This is incredible.

It's unbelievable.

However, the facts are right in front of them, and they cannot tolerate disbelief.

After all, it was impossible for Lu Sanniang to lose to a little girl on purpose.
