It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 42

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Li said with some concern, "Although Liu Zhaoyi is not in the right mind, she is still a beauty, I'm afraid she is much better than that noble lady, why does your majesty want to see that noble lady but not Liu Zhaoyi?" ?It's just that I dare not say this to the noble concubine. Last time, the noble concubine lost her temper because Qian noble was favored. She comforted her for a long time. Now the noble concubine is waiting to see her majesty on the day of the cold food festival. To tell the truth, she can't make the empress sad anymore, so she should find a way to inquire again.

Qian Xiyao hadn't played Go for a long time, and this time it was really fun. She didn't feel something was wrong until she beat the emperor eight times. She secretly glanced at the emperor's face...it was as black as black carbon, her heart In the next surprise, he raised his head and looked around, only to see Wanfu's angry face, and Xiang'er showed a very disturbed expression, as if he wanted to come forward to talk to him but didn't know how to say it.

Suddenly a thought flashed into Qian Xiyao's mind, could the emperor not know how to play Go?
When this answer echoed in Qian Xiyao's mind, she was quite surprised. Among the six arts, there is chess, so this is one that the authentic nobles must learn, not to mention that it is said that Emperor Qi Qing was born because of literary, dance and martial arts. Omnipotent and won the favor of the first emperor.

The air pressure in the room was a bit low, and everyone was breathing very, very shallowly. Qian Xiyao deliberately made several wrong moves, and waited until she finally lost before sneaking a sweat, and said with relief, "Your Majesty's chess skills Gao Chao, my concubine is willing to bow down, it is so late, do you want to rest?"

As a result, just as Qian Xiyao finished speaking, she saw the emperor looking up at her. She didn't know if it was because the candle was too dark, or if it was her own illusion. She actually felt that the emperor's eyes had a...how should I put it, it was very resentful The emotions are inside, it seems to say, you let me, I know.

"I still have more ideas." The emperor sat stubbornly, as if he wanted to continue.

Qian Xiyao had no choice but to close her eyes and start to play blindly. In this way, with her hard work, the emperor finally won ten times and lost twice. His complexion was even uglier than before.

Wanfu was on the verge of crying, thinking to himself, Mr. Qian, you are such a lump of elm, is there such a thing as a chess piece?If His Majesty wants to capture a piece, you can directly send it up for him to eat. Even a person who is not good at playing chess knows that this is a blatant cheating. Can Your Majesty feel better?
Qian Xiyao still didn't know the emperor's depressed mind at the moment, so she said with a smile, "Your Majesty is still the best. We played twenty games in total, and His Majesty won ten times."

The emperor took a deep look at Qian Xiyao, "Oh." Then he saw Qian Xiyao yawning again and again, and said helplessly, "It's getting late, let's rest."
