More than ten years ago, there was such a prodigy who had never lost a game of chess before. His fame had already spread far and wide since he was so young. Even more rare was that this prodigy was actually a girl.
Such a legend had already been spread to the Northern Qi Kingdom many years ago. As a woman of the same gender, Princess Ziling was both envious and yearning, and she always wanted to spar with this chess piece herself.
Unfortunately, when she finally had the chance to come to the Southern Chu Country, she found out that this powerful chess player had turned into a silly girl. It was truly regretful!
"Chess …" What game? "
When it came to chess, Zhao Xiaoxue wasn't actually afraid. In her university years, Zhao Xiaoxue had been a member of the chess club, although it couldn't be said that she was at a professional level, she was considered a top expert in Amateur level. However, she wasn't clear on the specific situation, and Zhao Xiaoxue wasn't too confident!
"What game?" Of course it was word chess! This is what you're good at. Miss Xue is famous, and this princess has always wanted to spar with you. Today is perfect! "
Qi Zhiling made up her mind. With a wave of her arm, the servant beside her had already brought out a wooden shelf that had been built beforehand.
"The chess board is here, so we won't waste any time. Don't say that this princess isn't magnanimous. This princess can let you go first, please!"
Qi Zhiling did not want to delay any longer. She had already started the game without even thinking about getting the approval of the other party.
"Go …" Go what? You don't even have a chess piece? "
Not to mention Zhao Xiaoxue, even if she agreed, she should at least show her what a chess piece looked like. Now that she didn't even see a chess piece, she actually wanted to play?
Hehe, Miss Xue must have done it on purpose! The pen is right there! "
"Pen?"
Zhao Xiaoxue suspected that she had misheard. What did playing chess have to do with writing? However, when Zhao Xiaoxue followed the direction of the slender finger and looked to the side, she really did see a pen.
At this moment, she really wanted to find someone to clean up her chaotic brain. At the very least, she had to tell her, just what was the purpose of this?
"Let's go!"
Qi Zhiling started to urge him. She panicked when she saw his hazy and foolish appearance. She, as a princess of the Qi Kingdom, had always treated this silly girl as an opponent, and this silly lady had even snatched her Southern King!
"Where to? Just one pen? "
Zhao Xiaoxue didn't want to pretend that she understood. It was obvious that she knew nothing about this so-called chess piece.
"One pen is enough!"
"But if I can't read, what's the use of having a pen?"
Zhao Xiaoxue picked up her pen and looked at it before tossing it to the side of the wooden board. She had originally wanted to listen to the rules of this chess game and think about how to use her clever brain, but when it came to writing, being illiterate, there was nothing she could do.
"You really can't read? Or are you just pretending? "
He had indeed heard that the Southern Princess couldn't read, but he still couldn't believe it. Now that he heard her say it, Qi Zhiling was still suspicious. After all, the woman in front of him didn't look like a fool.
"What has it got to do with you whether I can read or not? I can't play this writing chess, but I must take away Qing He! "
Zhao Xiaoxue didn't want to continue arguing. She only wanted to leave with Qing He.
"Don't even think about it!"
Qi Zhiling didn't want him to take her away so easily. She turned her body to the side and tried to grab Zhao Xiaoxue, but just as her fingers touched her shoulder, she felt his fingers skid past her and she quickly moved.
Qi Zhiling wanted to grab him again, but when she turned around, a face appeared in front of her.
"Chu..." South... The Southern King! "
Qi Zhiling was so excited that she could barely speak properly.
"Are you alright?"
Ignoring the excited expression of the princess of the Qi Kingdom, Chu Yufeng lowered his head and asked the lady beside him.
"Of course I do!"
Zhao Xiaoxue didn't expect Qi Zhiling to suddenly make a move. Although it was a shock, it was not dangerous, but she was still scared. Especially since this man could have made a move earlier, but he actually stood to the side to watch.
"Hehe, don't be angry, beloved concubine. It's just a game of chess! "Yes!"
Hearing the man's words, Zhao Xiaoxue immediately raised her head, pulled her brows, pulled her cheeks, and used all of her body language to resist.
This man was truly capable. He clearly had strong martial arts, but he should be more tough now. Why did he have to bend the line to save the country? Furthermore, to an illiterate like her, saving her was all for nothing.
"My beloved concubine, don't worry. This king will help you!"
The man had a doting look on his face, as if the woman beside him was the only one in his eyes.
However, Zhao Xiaoxue didn't have any plans to peacefully enjoy the love of a man. Instead, she was very resentful:
"Help me?" I can neither read nor write, and even if you tell me, I can't... "
Zhao Xiaoxue didn't even finish speaking when she felt someone lift up her right arm. The strong suction force made her arm instantly become someone else's subordinate, and her body was also wrapped up by someone. She then melted into the man's warm embrace, intoxicated.
"That's enough!"
When Zhao Xiaoxue reacted, she discovered that a complex character had appeared on the huge chessboard across from her. From the way she was raising her arm, she could tell the character was written by her. Of course, she was very clear that it wasn't written by her.
"This... "You …"
Zhao Xiaoxue was not someone who would cheat. The most important thing in chess was fairness, and now that they were acting like this, it was obvious that they were cheating. The princess beside them might not agree.
"It's your turn!"
Zhao Xiaoxue felt that it wasn't fair, but she discovered that the man behind her didn't have such awareness. Not only that, he even rudely urged her on. Zhao Xiaoxue felt that the two of them were bullying her and couldn't help but carefully advise:
"Prince, this isn't good, is it possible that we …"
Zhao Xiaoxue sincerely wanted to find a more suitable solution. At the very least, when she had a chance to argue with him later, she would be able to find reasonable evidence.
However, what surprised her was that the arrogant and despotic Princess Ziling was actually walking towards the chessboard with solemn steps, and then began writing very seriously. Looking at the delicate figure of her writing close by, Zhao Xiaoxue felt a bit absent-minded.
"Your Highness, it's your turn!"
It turned out that the voice of Princess Zhiling, who did not roar, could actually become this sweet. Zhao Xiaoxue could not help but shiver when she heard her voice, feeling unexplainable disgust in her heart.
This time, the words written were still very complex. If it wasn't for them cheating first, Zhao Xiaoxue really wanted to ask in detail, what exactly was this so-called word chess?
But for now, she had better keep silent.
