What Crown Prince?
According to the Empress's love for the Second Princess, as long as the Second Princess was there, what could the First Princess do?
The Second Princess let the youth tie the belt for her. She noticed the change in the youth's expression.
She felt much better.
Yes, that's it.
From now on, these people would slowly start to notice that she was the Queen's favorite daughter.
"I heard from the steward that you really want to come to my palace?" The Second Princess couldn't help but ask as the youth tied the belt for her.
The youth blushed and immediately took the opportunity to kneel down to express his loyalty. "My hometown was one of the places where the flood happened. It was the Second Princess who wrote the policy to the Prime Minister that saved our family. You are my second parent!"
So that was it.
The Second Princess smiled. "That's just my duty."
After that, she changed her clothes. The previous palace dress was too long and not suitable for playing Go, so she changed into another one.
After changing, she came to the main hall and was scrutinized by countless people.
Today, the Empress showed the courage of the people of the Nanman Kingdom.
Officials, big and small, came.
Whether it was the governor of a small place or the ministers of the imperial capital.
Some ministers had long known that the Second Princess was knowledgeable, so they were not worried at all and were even very happy. When they saw the arrogant faces of the people of the Nanman Kingdom, they were very angry.
Some officials in small places didn't know the Second Princess, but they were very familiar with Wen Jin, the son of the Prime Minister who ruled the capital.
But at this time, they looked at the Second Princess with eyes full of expectation.
A few people who knew Go had recognized the Prince of the Nanman Kingdom.
Minister Li, who was sitting behind the Prime Minister, looked at the Prince of the Nanman Kingdom and suddenly frowned. "It's him?"
"Lord Li, do you know him?" The Prime Minister asked.
"Three years ago, when I was still serving in the Supreme Court, I once went to the frontier area and heard of this person's name. You probably know him, right?" Minister Li didn't answer and just looked at Wen Jin.
When Wen Jin heard the words, she looked away from the second princess and nodded solemnly. "When my teacher taught me chess skills, he once told me that there was a boy in the Barbarian Kingdom who could understand the Linglong Chess game at the age of seven. It was this prince."
"You mastered the Linglong Chess Game at the age of seven?" The Prime Minister was stunned. She looked at Wen Jin and said solemnly, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Teacher said that he is a genius Go player." Wen Jin said, "I didn't expect that he would be sent here as a marriage partner and have to compete in Go with the people of our dynasty. Go belongs to our dynasty. If he loses to the people of the Nanman Kingdom in our dynasty …"
Wen Jin did not finish her sentence.
However, both Minister Li and the Prime Minister understood the gravity of the matter.
The territory of the Venerable Woman's empire was dozens of times that of the Nanman Kingdom. The population was also a few times more than the people of a small island country. If she lost the local chess skills to the Nanman Kingdom in the palace.
If they were to lose face, it would be their dynasty!
If they did not win, the people of the Nanman Kingdom would not truly surrender even if they were defeated.
On the contrary, their Female Supreme Dynasty would be laughed at as barbarians.
"What do you think of the second princess's chances of winning against this prince?" the prime minister asked in a low voice.
Even Wen Jin, who trusted the second princess very much, was a little hesitant. "The queen should know the strength of the second princess, otherwise she would not have appointed her. The odds of winning are fifty-fifty."
Hearing this result, Minister Li and the prime minister looked at each other with a heavy expression.
"I'll tell the emperor to exchange you." The prime minister frowned.
"No need," Wen Jin stopped the prime minister. Seeing the prime minister's puzzled eyes, he smiled and shook his head, "Mother, you probably don't know, I played with the second princess, and I lost two out of three games. You always thought that she was talented, but you didn't know that she was even better than me in Go! The queen's choice seems to be random, but in fact, she has chosen the person who is the best at Go here. If the second princess can't beat the prince, the others here can't do anything. "
This was really unknown to the prime minister and other officials.
And the prime minister finally reacted at this moment, "No wonder you have been playing with the second princess. It turns out that her Go skills are so high."
Minister Li looked at the second princess, and his eyes also turned into admiration.
It turned out that she was hiding her strength and biding her time, but it was really not easy to break out until now.
Wen Jin's voice was not too low, and some people around the prime minister heard it.
Especially compared to Ye Shaohua, who was careless and indifferent to this, most of the officials here gradually moved closer to the second princess.
In the middle, the maids had moved chairs and tables.
The second princess and the prince sat in a separate section.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, please." The second princess's face showed no fear, and she raised her hand very gracefully.
The prince of the Nanman Kingdom did not hesitate and directly put down a piece.
The second princess put down a piece very aggressively.
In the following year, they came back and forth, and soon both of them put down six pieces. In ancient times, white was Yang and black was Yin, so in ancient times and modern times, white was first.
Therefore, the second princess's pieces were black, and on the chessboard, it was obvious that the second princess's black pieces had more "Qi".
The outward extension of each piece in Go was "Qi". If a piece had no Qi, it would become a "dead piece", and the piece would be eaten by the opponent.
The outcome of a game of Go was determined by who occupied more territory on the chessboard.
It was like a simulated battlefield.
At this moment, people who knew how to play Go could see that the second princess obviously had more "Qi" on the chessboard.
She had been suppressing the prince from the beginning.
And the prince, one of his pieces had only one Qi left. This Qi was blocked, and the first piece of the Nanman Kingdom Prince was about to be eaten by the second princess.
For a time, the atmosphere of the entire palace banquet was very good.
And Wen Jin, who had been uneasy, also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the second princess with a more loving gaze.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Ye Shaohua was looking at the second princess with a faint smile and shaking her head slightly. Wen Jin's face unexpectedly showed impatience and disgust.
