Chapter 219 8 tricks
When they walked into the hall, the emperor didn't say anything and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Shen Zhiyao knew that Bo Muxi was suspicious of her, but she didn't know the emperor's attitude, so she was not in a hurry to distance herself from him.
"I haven't played chess for a long time. Would you like to play two games with me?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile as he sat down.
"It is your honor." Shen Zhiyao responded with a sweet smile, and turned around and said, "Qiuyue, bring the chessboard over."
While the servants were serving tea and setting up the chessboard, Bo Muxi pretended to ask casually, "I heard that my beloved concubine also went to Zheng Fuxuan two days ago?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyao still admitted calmly, "Yes, I went with Concubine Zhuang. As usual, we went to congratulate Hu Xiaoyi and share in her good fortune."
Bo Muxi picked up the teacup and asked with a half-smile, "It's really rare. Don't you usually dislike me?"
Shen Zhiyao blinked her peach blossom eyes and smiled like a little fox stealing fish: "It's true that I don't like it, but for the sake of the emperor and the queen, everyone went. It's just that some people are sincere and some are just pretending."
Seeing her being so frank, Bo Muxi felt a little relieved. He tapped her nose and asked, "What about my beloved concubine?"
Shen Zhiyao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is just evil. He already knows the answer, but he still asks... I can't possibly lie to Your Majesty... Let's just play chess!"
After saying this, he respectfully placed the chess box containing the black pieces on the emperor's right hand side and handed over another black piece, indicating that the emperor should go first.
While taking the chess pieces, Bo Muxi touched Xiaopin's fingers, placed a chess piece and said, "I like your honesty, my beloved concubine. I believe everything you say."
Shen Zhiyao applied homemade pink lip balm today, which was so crystal clear that the emperor wanted to take a bite.
Shen Zhiyao complained in her heart: I don’t believe you at all. If you really trust me so much, why are you always testing me?
The two of them played chess in silence for a while. Bo Muxi was surprised to find that Shen Zhiyao's chess skills had improved a lot during this period of time. Her strength was almost catching up with the Queen.
After a few more days, I'm afraid I'll be able to tie with him...
Moreover, Shen Zhiyao's move style is ruthless and decisive, and his style of play is really unusually fierce. If you play blind chess, you will definitely think it is a man's move!
Bo Muxi was being chased and besieged by Shen Zhiyao, and he took longer and longer to think before making a move. Although Lin En, who was standing aside, did not know how to play chess, he had rarely seen the emperor play so miserably, and he couldn't help sweating.
Lin En thought to himself, how come Jin Shuyi has the same style as the Empress? She doesn't even know how to give way to the Emperor. It's really...
"There have been constant rumors in the palace recently. Have you heard about it, my beloved concubine?" Bo Muxi suddenly asked while he was thinking.
Shen Zhiyao drank a sip of tea leisurely and said with a smile: "Since it has been spread like that, I have naturally heard about it too."
Bo Muxi dropped a child and asked again, "What do you think of those rumors, my beloved concubine?"
Shen Zhiyao sneered in her heart. The emperor was testing and setting traps for her, and it was obvious that he knew a lot.
"Your Majesty's move is brilliant. I have to think about it carefully." Shen Zhiyao lowered her head as if thinking.
"Well, my beloved, think about it carefully. I am not in a hurry." Bo Muxi said with a double meaning.
Shen Zhiyao stared at the chessboard seriously, thinking as he said, "Rumors may not be all true, but they are not necessarily all groundless. Your Majesty saw Jiu Ma's true face that night. He was so bold in front of you, and he will be even more presumptuous behind your back."
Bo Muxi originally thought that Shen Zhiyao was using the excuse of thinking about a move to seriously consider how to handle the situation, but this little concubine answered his question so readily without hesitation.
It seems that he is really focused on playing chess. It seems that the emperor is overthinking...
"What else?" Bo Muxi continued to ask.
"We, the children of important military officials, entered the palace with the emperor's favor, so our starting point is naturally much higher than others. However, it is our duty as officials to serve the emperor until our death. Your majesty's grace to us is a sign of your kindness, but it should not be taken for granted."
"If you can't control your servants, it will bring a lot of trouble to Her Majesty the Queen. If you can't control yourself, it's actually a disrespect for the palace rules. Disrespecting the palace rules is the greatest disrespect to Her Majesty the Queen."
Shen Zhiyao stopped talking at the right time, put down the white piece, looked up at the emperor, smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty, this trick of mine is very powerful, you must deal with it carefully, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
This smile is so charming, but the style of play is so fierce. This contrast really makes a fussy emperor like Bo Muxi love him very much.
"Others deliberately conceal their fatal moves and don't tell anyone. How could they tell me openly like my beloved concubine did?" Bo Muxi laughed.
"I want to tell the emperor openly. This way I can win glory and it will be fair." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.
This has some unusual taste...
Bo Muxi looked at her and smiled, then he lowered his head to look at the chessboard with concentration.
The emperor was dumbfounded when he saw this. This concubine had led him step by step to this point, and she actually used a killer move...
How can I explain this? It's really not fair... I've been hiding this secret until now and only now is I saying this...
Bo Muxi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhiyao with resentment. What else can he do? Try to resolve it...
Next, the two of them focused their attention on the chessboard and refused to talk any more. Bo Muxi was also aroused by his competitive spirit.
The two people playing chess don't look like a couple at all. You move back and forth, I move while you move backwards. Every step is a fatal move. If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game.
In the end, Bo Muxi narrowly won. He looked at the chess game with satisfaction and secretly sighed with enjoyment. He had long forgotten about the trouble with Hu Xiaoyi.
Shen Zhiyao was very unwilling to lose, she was just a little bit away from winning...
Seeing her expression, Bo Muxi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "My beloved concubine, since you are so angry, why don't you beg me nicely? I will be soft-hearted and give in to you next time."
"No, I can't ask you to give in all the time. Besides, if we keep giving in and out, mixed with personal considerations, the fun of playing chess will be gone. How can the emperor still be interested?" Shen Zhiyao puffed out her cheeks, looking angrily.
"You really are..." Bo Muxi stood up with a smile, and then pulled the little concubine up with him.
"Your Majesty, are you tired of sitting? Let me accompany you for a walk in the courtyard." Shen Zhiyao thought that the emperor was uncomfortable after sitting for so long.
However, Bo Muxi pursed his lips and ignored her. He just pulled her to his side and picked her up.
Shen Zhiyao was startled and hugged Bo Muxi's neck, saying angrily, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? You suddenly did this without saying a word. I am so scared."
She hugged the emperor's neck tightly, fearing that he would accidentally fall.
Bo Muxi smiled, his voice was very magnetic and seductive.
"I'm tired of sitting, so I'll take my beloved to stretch her waist..." After saying that, he carried Shen Zhiyao to the inner room.
Before Shen Zhiyao could protest, the emperor pressed her down on the couch and violently suppressed her for several rounds...
