Chapter 184 Can't Lose

There was one more person on the round table, and Zhu Yuting was good at talking, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

Pei Xiaoran's impression of this person was that his mother and concubine were favored and good at playing dirty tricks. In her previous life, because of Zhu Lianxi, she was also forced to get involved in the battles between princes, so she had often fought against this person.

Therefore, when the other party chatted with her very enthusiastically, she seemed to be flattered, but in fact she was perfunctory.

After eating, Emperor Chixuan asked Pei Xiaoran:
"Can Xiaoran know how to play chess?"

Pei Xiaoran didn't rush to answer, but asked curiously:

"Your Majesty doesn't need to review the memorial today?"

Emperor Chixuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said in his heart that this little thing really cared more about state affairs than himself, and he was indeed a natural pillar of talent.

He responded with a smile:

"There are few things today, and what needs to be dealt with has already been dealt with in the court."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, and said: "Then Xiaoran can play chess, let's play a few games with His Majesty."

Emperor Chixuan was a little bit interested when he heard this, and asked:

"Then if I say that there are still a bunch of memorials waiting for me to review, will you say that you can't play chess?"

Pei Xiaoran nodded, with a mature expression on his face:
"National affairs are the most important thing. For the sake of state affairs, it is harmless to tell a little lie. Are you right, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Chixuan was startled, and then laughed, thinking that this little thing is really rare, sensible and clever, and people can't like it or not.

Zhu Yuting couldn't help but take another look at Miss Pei's Sixth.

No wonder his father specially summoned him into the palace to meet alone, this little girl is really different.

And although the other party didn't show any resistance to his overtures, he could faintly feel that the other party had been deliberately keeping a distance from him and didn't want to get close to him.

Zhu Yuting stroked his chin, suddenly smiled and said:
"By the way, sister Xiaoran, I heard that your second sister has already made an engagement with the third son of General Jianwei's family. It just so happens that I met the elder brother of the third son. Maybe we can meet again at the matchmaker banquet." !"

what? !

The members of the Han family actually have some friendship with the third prince?
But... since Zhu Yuting dared to say in front of Emperor Chixuan that he had a connection with the Han family, it meant that the Han family had not yet joined Zhu Yuting's camp.

As for the people who have already stood in his camp, he absolutely dare not say it in front of others, otherwise, wouldn't he be taking the initiative to give someone something to hand?
Pei Xiaoran turned his mind a few times, and said with a smile:

"That's really great. Xiaoran is here to thank His Royal Highness the Third Prince for his support on behalf of my second sister."

Zhu Yuting waved his hands and said kindly:

"Sister Xiaoran, don't be so polite."

The chessboard was already set up, and the chess pieces were presented, but there were three of them, so Emperor Chixuan summoned a chess player to play with Zhu Yuting.

The four of them sat facing each other. Emperor Chixuan didn't want to bully the small with the big, so he said:
"Xiaoran, tell me, how many children do you need from me first?"

Although Pei Xiaoran is very skilled, no one is perfect. Since she spends her time practicing martial arts, she must be lacking in other aspects.

And playing chess requires long-term study and study. It is definitely not a day or two to learn how to play well, so...

In order not to let the little girl lose too badly, Emperor Chixuan decided to let the water go.

Pei Xiaoran thought for a while, and said:

"Let the third son go."

Emperor Chixuan readily agreed:
"Row!"

Pei Xiaoran grabbed three white stones and dropped them down on the chessboard.

The two began to fight, Pei Xiaoran was aggressive at first, like a novice who could only attack but didn't know how to defend, he attacked fiercely and didn't care.

But when Emperor Chixuan thought he had caught her weakness, she suddenly slowed down her offensive, and started to only defend and not attack.

It went back and forth like this, so that even Emperor Chixuan couldn't figure out whether she would attack or defend next, and how she would go.

However, Emperor Chixuan, who originally thought that this game of chess could only last half an hour at most, and Pei Xiaoran could last two hours at once.

Zhu Yuting on the side has been paying attention to the chess game and their every move, and doesn't care about the mess of his own chess.

The chess waiter who was in charge of playing chess with him saw that he had put all his attention on the other side, so he didn't dare to remind him that he had already lost, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to play with him.

However, a few people didn't expect that Pei Xiaoran could hold on so much, so that later, even the chess game was attracted to him, and he focused on the chess game without blinking his eyes.

The black and white pieces on the chessboard are already in a state of stalemate, black and white, refusing to give in to each other, and Pei Xiaoran's moves have become more and more treacherous, making it impossible to guess what she will do next.

Emperor Chixuan was sweating faintly on his forehead, and felt anxious and stressed for the first time in playing chess.

Because he is the Red Emperor of Suzaku, most people who play chess with him dare not beat him. Even if they have the strength to win him, they dare not show it in front of him. No matter how hard you work, you can win.

But Pei Xiaoran seems to have completely forgotten this point. Not only did he not hide his strength at all, but he also refused to give up an inch, aggressive and merciless.

Because she knew that if she wanted to be valued and reused by Emperor Chixuan, she had to let him see and feel her abilities.

Especially since I am still a daughter, it is more difficult to get a position than a man, so I can't hide my front, let alone show my clumsiness!

The chess player was amazed by the order, and Zhu Yuting's expression became more and more serious, so that when Pei Xiaoran dropped the last white piece, neither of them reacted for a while.

Pei Xiaoran sighed for a long time, and said with great regret:
"I lost."

Emperor Chixuan was startled, pointed at the chessboard and said:
"This is obviously my loss, you..."

He thought it was Pei Xiaoran who said that on purpose because he was afraid that he would get angry if he lost, so he couldn't help laughing and said:

"You don't have to open your eyes and talk nonsense. I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose. If I lose, I lose. There's nothing wrong with admitting it."

Zhu Yuting and Qi Daizhao quickly took a closer look, and sure enough, the last piece was made by Pei Xiaoran, and the chessboard was basically dominated by white pieces, it was indeed Pei Xiaoran who won.

Pei Xiaoran stretched out a little finger and shook it, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, don't forget, at the beginning, you gave up my three sons. If it weren't for the three sons you gave up, Xiaoran would definitely lose in the end."

It's one thing to show your strength, but it's another thing not to let His Majesty lose face if you lose.

Therefore, when Emperor Chixuan proposed to give up his son, Pei Xiaoran did not refuse.

In this way, she can not only show her strength, but also make His Majesty the emperor lose decently.

After her reminder, Emperor Chixuan remembered that he had indeed let the other party's third son in the first place, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, pointing at Pei Xiaoran and saying repeatedly:

"You, you..."

Pei Xiaoran tilted his head with an innocent face.
