Chapter 926
After running along the palace road for a long time, except for the little maid who was in charge of picking flowers at the beginning, Xinmeng didn't meet any palace maids.

She became puzzled, slowed down her pace and checked the direction, and found that she was coming from the northeast, and she just came to an intersection. If you go west, you can go to the imperial study where the emperor works, and if you go north, you can go to Renming, where Empress Lin lives. The palace, and the Kunyu Palace where Concubine Meng lived, and the road to the south is the way out of the palace.

After thinking about it, she turned onto the road leading to the west, and after walking for less than a stick of incense, she saw a house with red walls and yellow tiles hidden in the shadows of trees in front of her - the Royal Study Room.

The industrious current Emperor of Shang, apart from discussing affairs in the court, spent most of his day in this imperial study, reading memorials, and discussing state affairs with some important courtiers.

When Xinmeng arrived, Prime Minister Lin Ji'an and the Minister of the Sixth Division of Lihu Libing and Criminal Gong had just come out of the imperial study.It was only after they had left that she came out from behind the bushes where she had hidden herself.

Su Xiang, the head servant who sent Prime Minister Lin and the six ministers out, was about to turn back when he saw Xin Meng sharply, so he stopped and watched her approach.

"Is Miss Shen going to see the emperor?"

Nodding slightly, Xinmeng said: "Yes, I wonder if the emperor has time to see me?"

Su Gonggong's face instantly raised a smile: "It's a coincidence that Miss Shen is here. The emperor just finished discussing with Lin Xiangye and the six ministers, and he is resting. Please wait here for a while, and our family will go in and pass on the news. See if the emperor is willing to receive you."

"Then I will trouble Mr. Su." Xinmeng said politely.

Hearing this, Eunuch Su was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and soon he returned to his normal expression.He pushed the door open, turned around and closed the door.

There were rustling conversations coming from the crack of the door, because the speaker lowered his voice so low that Xinmeng couldn't hear clearly.

She had no intention of eavesdropping, so she stood quietly on the porch, waiting patiently.But the people inside didn't make her wait too long.

After a while, Su Gonggong opened the door and opened the door wide, inviting Xinmeng to come in.

Xin Meng nodded to Eunuch Su, then raised her foot and stepped over the threshold, walked in slowly with her head slightly lowered, reached the jade steps and knelt down.

"The courtiers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Excuse me, flat body!" A majestic voice came from above.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Xinmeng got up, she stood there nodding her head and frowning.

"Look up and let me see you."

"Yes." Xin Meng raised her head slowly, but still lowered her eyes slightly, not looking directly at the majestic and noble emperor.

Footsteps sounded softly and stopped in front of her.The object of entry was the dark black clothing, not the bright yellow dragon robe, Xinmeng discovered that the emperor was not wearing a court attire, and should have changed into a regular attire immediately after he went down to court.

The emperor passed her, walked to the window, and sat down on the low couch.

"Come here and play chess with me."

Game?Xinmeng froze for a moment, then quickly raised her eyes to take a look, and saw a square low table of red sandalwood placed in the middle of the low couch, a chessboard and two urns containing chess pieces were placed on the table.

"Your Majesty, my daughter's poor chess skills may disappoint the Emperor." Xin Meng said modestly.

She knows how to play chess, and her chess skills are not too bad, but when playing chess with the king of a country, what is important is not chess skills, but her mind.It is okay to win, but to win properly, it is best to narrowly win by one or two.You have to be skillful in losing, and you can't lose too much, otherwise the emperor will think you are too bad and leave a bad impression.
