The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 227
Ji Shiliu slowly came to the tower here, lifted her robe and bowed to Emperor Changde.

Gu Shiyin pointed to Ji Shiliu and said, "Young Master Ji can play chess with your Excellency Qi Shouyan and compete against each other."

This was the first time Ji Shiliu appeared in the palace openly.

Every time Emperor Changde saw him, there would always be an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and he couldn't help closing his eyes.

As soon as Gu Shiyin finished speaking, some elderly ministers in the court felt dazzled and blinked their eyelids. Who do they think Ji Shiliu looks like?

Ji Shiliu stood in the middle under the different eyes of everyone.

Yu Wenhao looked at Ji Shiliu in surprise, and asked, "Who is this Mr. Ji?"

"An idler. He used to be a famous luthier, and he was a cockfighter in the market." Gu Shiyin said with a smile: "There is no official position yet."

The faces of the people in the Hua Guo Mission turned dark. They almost thought he was a noble prince just now, but they didn't expect him to be an idle luthier.

Randomly pull a Bai Ding over to challenge Hua Guo's number one chess player, Prince Yu doesn't take them seriously, does he?

Gu Jincheng's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He was sitting in front of the desk calmly, but when he saw Ji Shiliu, his eyebrows were involuntarily drawn together.

Then, the Hua Guo envoy confirmed again: "Prince Yu, His Excellency Qi Shouyan came here this time, bringing with him rare cold and warm jade chess pieces and an eternal endgame. Are you sure you want Young Master Ji to challenge His Excellency Qi Shouyan? Break this mess?"

Gu Shiyin raised his brows, and said lightly: "Master Jin, you mean that you feel disdain for the person appointed by this king?"

Seeing that Gu Shiyin seemed to be annoyed, Yu Wenhao thought for a moment, then pondered and said: "Since the person chosen by Lord Yu, he must be one of the best national scholars in Ningguo. I am looking forward to Mr. Ji and Qi Shouyan. How to solve this eternal mess."

After finishing speaking, Yu Wenhao raised his hand, and the envoy beside him stepped out of his seat, knelt respectfully on the carpet in the middle, and put the warm and cold jade chess in the green glazed chess jar and a Here is Zhang Fanhuang's chess record.

"This is cold and warm jade chess. It is rumored that there are only three sets in the world. As the number one chess idiot, Qi Shouyan will not hesitate to sacrifice it to break the endgame of the ages. If Mr. Ji can win in a chess game, this pair of cold and warm jade Chess is owned by Young Master Ji."

"Your Excellency Qi Shouyan is really willing to bear the pain to give up love?" A minister in the seat asked puzzledly. For a chess idiot, the greatest piece of music is to use cold and warm jade chess every day to find someone to play against.

If the cold and warm jade chess is gone, wouldn't Qi Shouyan regret it?

But seeing Yu Wenhao smiled lightly, Qi Shouyan said: "I regard chess as my life, and I have never lost in this life. I once swore in front of the chess master's tomb that in this life, I will never win in the game of chess in the world." in the end."

"If this time, Mr. Ji really has the ability to win this eternal endgame, then my life will be meaningless, and I will kill myself and go to Jiuquan to meet the old chess master."

"When people are gone, what's the point of keeping this cold and warm jade chess set? It's better to give it to Mr. Ji."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, it was just a game of chess, and it was so serious.Keeping one's word is a bet on one's life.

In this way, Ji Shiliu was under a lot of pressure. If she lost, she might have to pay an equal bargaining chip.

Seeing that Ji Shiliu was silent, Yu Wenhao said, "Young Master Ji, Qi Shouyan has shown his determination to break the boat, are you still willing to fight?"

Emperor Changde was also a little nervous and conflicted. On the one hand, he hoped that this young man who he was familiar with had enough courage; Chess, Ji Shiliu even gambled away her life.

Ji Shiliu pursed her lips, and after thinking about it for a while, she turned her head and said lightly, "I beg your highness, the grandson of the emperor, to borrow the chess records of the endgame."

When he said this, it was the price for agreeing to fight.

"Young Master Ji is so courageous." Yu Wenhao nodded in praise, and then motioned for the envoy to take out the chess record.

The chess record was handed over to Ji Shiliu by the palace servants. Ji Shiliu looked down and heard Yu Wenhao add: "It is not a short-term effort to break the endgame of the ages. Young Master Ji can take the chess record and study it first. After half a day, come back to play against Qi Shouyan."

"It's still His Royal Highness who is considerate." Ji Shiliu replied politely, asking him to immediately end the endgame and play chess as he said, which is indeed quite embarrassing.

"Wait a minute." At this time, Gu Shi elicited a voice: "It is common sense to reciprocate courtesy. Since Your Excellency Qi Shouyan is willing to donate cold and warm jade chess, Mr. Ji also needs to donate a treasure that is comparable to cold and warm jade chess."

He turned his head and looked at Emperor Changde, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to just take the gold-covered bowl that was treasured in the treasury and give it to Young Master Ji as a reward?"

"If Mr. Ji wins, the Golden Flower Bowl and Leng Nuan Yu Qi will belong to him. If his skills are inferior to others and he loses, they will naturally belong to Your Excellency Qi Shouyan."

Everyone was amazed that the golden flower bowl was left over from the game between Emperor Taizu and a hermit, and it was a priceless treasure.

For so many years, no one dared to touch it. Now that Gu Shiyin said that he would give the golden flower bowl to Ji Shiliu, would it be too casual?

"Come here, take out the gaijinhua bowl and bring it to Young Master Ji!" Emperor Changde thought for a while, but unexpectedly agreed.

He felt that it was worthwhile to reward Ji Shiliu with the golden flower bowl.

Several courtiers persuaded Emperor Changde several times, and even Concubine Zhang De persuaded him to think twice, but Emperor Changde insisted on his decision.

Not long after, the palace servants tremblingly brought out the gold-covered bowl covered with red silk cloth, and placed it on the table in front of the imperial court together with the cold and warm jade chess pieces.

"Caomin, thank you Your Majesty and Prince Yu for your love." After Ji Shiliu, Emperor Changde, and Gu Shi thanked him, they were led by the palace staff to the Nuan Pavilion on the side, where they carefully studied the chess records.

Next, Yu Wenhao proposed that talents from Huaguo come over to compete with talents from Ningguo in knife skills, painting skills, and piano skills, etc.

Since everyone has agreed to the chess game, these are naturally nothing. Ningguo has also agreed, and before the competition, think about the candidates who will come out for the competition.

The fun show in the tower is still going on.

Feng Xihe looked at the gold-covered bowl on the imperial case, and then looked at Ji Shiliu's back.

She thought of Gu Fan and Yuan Ying's life experiences, and saw Gu Shi's unusual way of courting Ji Shiliu many times, and a guess in her heart was already confirmed.

No wonder that on the day she married Gu Shiyin, Gu Jincheng did not hesitate to kidnap her and lure all the people from Prince Yu's mansion. Gu Jincheng should be looking for Ji Shiliu's whereabouts.

In other words, Gu Jincheng didn't know Ji Shiliu's real identity yet, he just wanted to kill the root out of some clues and worries in his heart.

If this was what Gu Shiyin said was a gift for her, then she would gladly accept it.

With Ji Shiliu around, the position Gu Jincheng fantasized about might be even further away.

Qi Shouyan was also taken to another warm pavilion by the palace people to study the endgame and prepare for the game half a day later.

Qi Shouyan has been well-known for many years, but Ji Shiliu is an unknown person, but luckily, he became Qian Yongchang's prospective son-in-law, and happened to help Gu Jinnian, so that they knew that there was such a person.

But Gu Jinnian begged for him for a long time, but Emperor Changde refused to even give him an official position, which shows that Emperor Changde didn't want to see him at all. Even if he agreed to reward him with a golden flower bowl, it was probably forced by Gu Shiyin pressure.

Almost everyone was not optimistic about Ji Shiliu.

Yun Changyi didn't think so. She especially remembered that when Ji Shiliu used a different way of swordsmanship during the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, even Zhao Chu was not his opponent.

Moreover, he and Xia Haiyan were able to join hands in Weicheng to wipe out all the officials who were greedy for money, and offered disaster relief measures, which shows that this person is definitely not a mediocre person.

And Ji Shiliu and Feng Xihe were in the same group, and they coaxed Gu Jinnian into a circle, so she had to get rid of him.Now is the perfect time.

"His Royal Highness, Ji Shiliu is not to be underestimated." Thinking this way, Yun Changyi quietly came to Yu Wenhao's side, and said softly: "When it comes to chess skills, he may not really be at a disadvantage. But , Minnv has a way to prevent him from winning."

Yu Wenhao's eyes lingered on the new pair of orchids, and occasionally glanced at Feng Xihe.

"I understand." He replied absent-mindedly.

Yun Changyi only thought that he agreed, raised the corners of his lips lightly, got up, and left the tower temporarily.

This time, Gu Jinnian prepared the matter of receiving the Chinese mission. Even the maids who came to serve were selected by her for Gu Jinnian.

Therefore, she wanted to do something, in fact, it was very easy.

Yun Changyi went outside and stopped two court ladies who were going to the Nuan Pavilion to deliver tea and snacks.

*
In the tower, after the orchids happily twisted their waists, all the people from Huaguo who participated in the competition had been invited over.

Yu Wenhao suggested: "Your Majesty, Lord Yu, how about letting Miss Nalanti play a pipa first?"

After Emperor Changde and Gu Shiyin agreed with each other, a beauty in a foreign costume that shone with silver and exposed her navel, with long wavy hair and sunken eyes, walked out with a lute in her arms.

She is the Nalanti that Yu Wenhao said, but she is obviously not from Huaguo.

Nalanti lightly plucked the strings of the pipa. The strings sounded low at first, but it seemed that wind and sand were blowing, leading everyone's thoughts into the vast desert of golden sand.

But suddenly, the sound of the piano changed rapidly, only the big strings could be heard like torrential rain, and the small strings could be heard like whispers.The wind is blowing, the yellow sand is flying, the horses are tearing and screaming, and the howling sound is faintly visible, making people feel like they are in the desert, on the battlefield of gold and iron horses, and feel the heroism of the soldiers fighting bloody battles.

Everyone was fascinated by it, and they were all overwhelmed by Nalanti's pipa music.

It's all just waiting for a song, they haven't recovered from their distant thoughts.

Feng Xihe listened to the music, and suddenly thought deeply in his eyes.

Yu Wenhao introduced: "The breaking song played by Miss Nalanti just now is an ancient song of the Rizhao tribe. The score of this song is incomplete. Miss, her master is a luthier from the Rizhao tribe, so she can keep the fingering techniques in mind."

"I wonder if there are talents in your country who understand this ancient song, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Miss Nalanti?"
