The prince of the Nanman Kingdom had shown extraordinary talent in Go since he was a child. He did not put much effort into the game against the Second Princess.
When he faced Ye Shaohua, the other party pressed on. He had only played one particle, but the other party cut off all his escape routes. He had never encountered such a setback after playing Go for so many years.
There was a "Pa" sound.
A white chess piece rolled to the ground, and he leaned weakly against the back of the chair.
It took the Second Princess half an hour, but she was utterly defeated by the other party.
In less than ten minutes, the First Princess had not only turned the game around, but also carried out a complete one-sided massacre!
Even those who were not good at Go knew that this was …
They were not on the same level at all!
Ye Shaohua put the chess piece back and stood up to look at the prince of the Nanman Kingdom. There was no arrogance or joy on her face. She had the same expression when she came, and she still had the same expression after the game.
She was as still as a mountain.
Even so, the prince still felt a sense of powerlessness. He said dejectedly, "I lost."
The Nanman Kingdom envoys who were standing on the field with a smug look on their faces froze.
The ministers of the Female Supreme Dynasty did not speak either. Each of them seemed to be choked by something, not only because of this game, but also because of the other party's superb Go skills.
Someone pressed the table excitedly, thinking that this was a palace banquet. He tried to restrain his desire to shout, but his eyes never left Ye Shaohua.
The palace maids came to take the chessboard away.
The prime minister and others hurriedly said, "Don't mess up the chessboard. When the chessboard is restored, it will be another game that can be passed down through the ages."
Hearing the words of these ministers, the palace maids moved the chessboard more carefully.
At this moment, the arrogant heads of the Nanman Kingdom envoy and the prince hung down. It took them several minutes to accept the fact that their prince had lost in the Go game that their country was best at.
"Your dynasty is indeed a land of great men," the arrogant envoys said with sincerity, "We are willing to submit to the Female Supreme Dynasty."
This sentence came out.
Not to mention the prime minister and others, even the Empress was shocked.
Although the Nanman Kingdom was not big, the people of the Nanman Kingdom were very smart. Even though Qin Xuanyun had intimidated them with his military might, they were still unconvinced even though they seemed to submit to him on the surface.
The problem of the Nanman Kingdom had existed since the time of the late Emperor, and the Empress had not found any solution. Unexpectedly, it was solved by the First Princess today.
She looked at the Nanman Kingdom envoy who was kneeling for the first time, feeling a mixture of shock and disbelief.
After Ye Shaohua put down the chess piece, she returned to her seat, and most people's eyes followed her.
She was not moved by these gazes, nor did she feel excited or nervous. She had seen these gazes in almost every world, especially in the entertainment industry. Compared to those fanatical fans, these dozens of people were nothing.
It wouldn't cause any ripples here.
The Minister of Rites, who was in charge of receiving the envoys, was in an extremely good mood.
In the beginning, the few people from the Nanman Kingdom were indifferent to him. But now, they were very respectful and polite to him. They even asked him questions humbly.
The banquet was a great success. The prince of the Nanman Kingdom was invited to stay, and it was said that … the marriage was arranged.
"Cousin, tell me, how do you know how to play chess? And you're so good at it? "Jun Yiling held a small wine glass and walked to Ye Shaohua's side.
Ye Shaohua glanced at her. "I've always known how to play."
"But you …"
As if knowing what Jun Yiling was going to ask, Ye Shaohua answered directly, "You didn't ask me if I knew how to play either."
Was there a need to ask? Look at Ye Mingxin and Wen Jin. No one asked them if they knew how to play chess, but everyone in the Imperial City knew that they were very accomplished in chess!
However, even though he was thinking this, Jun Yiling looked at Qin Xuanyun beside Ye Shaohua and did not dare to say it.
On the other side, the Prime Minister and Minister Li were still praising the First Princess. The Empress listened with a smile on her face, but her lowered eyes were a little heavy.
Wen Jin, who was originally sitting next to the Second Princess to comfort her, felt a little confused at this moment.
The First Princess … actually knew how to play chess?
And her chess skills far surpassed her own.
Knowing this, it was impossible for Wen Jin to say that he was not surprised.
The Second Princess knocked the glass on the table, and the sound woke Wen Jin up and made him think of the Second Princess again. Even if the First Princess knew how to play, what was the use?
The Second Princess was the person he recognized. Although the other party's chess skills were not as good as the First Princess, she had a good temper. She dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and the last time she wrote an amazing policy paper.
Even the new champion couldn't compare with her. These two people … there was no comparison at all, right?
Thinking of this, some of Wen Jin's fluctuating heart finally calmed down.
"It's just playing chess," Qin Youming was not as shocked as the Second Princess. His voice was very indifferent. Looking at the very excited Jun Qing, there was some sarcasm in his eyes. "Mingxin, you have to remember that you are a person who does big things. Put your eyes on the court. Can these small fights help the court?"
Hearing Qin Youming's words, the Second Princess's heart that had been hit also regained its confidence.
Yes, now she already had the support of most of the officials. What was the use of Ye Shaohua playing chess again?
Did she understand "Book of History"? Did she know how to deal with the flood? Could she help the Empress solve her problems?
These years, Ye Shaohua lived in a muddle. She never learned from the Prime Minister or the Prime Minister seriously. The Second Princess was very confident in herself. Therefore, Ye Shaohua, who had countless resources but didn't know how to use them, was jealous and happy.
Even if she was given so many resources, what was the use?! It was just a waste.
If she … if she …
The Prince of the Nanman Kingdom stayed this time for the marriage.
The Nanman Kingdom left, but the Prince of the Nanman Kingdom did not.
He was different from others. Although the Nanman Kingdom was small, its power could not be underestimated.
The marriage partner this time was very important. Because Qin Xuanyun was back, the Empress felt that there was no need to choose a shield for Qin Youming.
"Then give the Prince to the Second Princess." The Empress looked at the Second Princess with a smile.
The Second Princess immediately thanked her in surprise.
All the ministers looked at each other. The Empress … These people didn't speak, but they knew in their hearts that it was time to pick a side.
Except for the Jun Family, the other ministers had no opinion.
Although the chess game just now was thrilling, compared to the Eldest Princess, the talented Second Princess was more suitable to be the Crown Prince.
The most uncomfortable person on the field should be Wen Jin.
He had always liked the Second Princess, and he knew that the Second Princess would definitely have three husbands and four attendants in the future, but he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the Empress conferring a marriage.
But compared to those people, the Second Princess was much better.
