At the entrance of the hall, Xuan Yi walked in slowly. Xiao Yizi saw it and was about to say hello. Xuan Yi waved his hand to signal him to leave. Xiao Yizi left as if relieved. Qi Zi was completely immersed in the excitement of composing music with Li Ran.
In the memory, she didn't notice Xuan Yi approaching at all.
Xuan Yi was confused. Is this a coincidence? Why did the person in front of him play the former queen's music? His concern for the former queen completely started from this song. She had been to Qifeng Palace before, why should she go to Qifeng Palace?
The palace? Don’t you know that when there is no owner in the middle palace, concubines will be criticized if they enter? Or is this God’s will, the queen brought her to me? He let his thoughts go, trying to connect the two.
He got up, but couldn't find a connection point. He stared at that slender and delicate back, feeling like he rushed over and hugged her.
After finishing the song, Qi Zi sighed softly, turned around inadvertently, and suddenly saw Xuan Yi standing silently behind her. She was startled, stood up and said angrily: "Why don't you say anything? I don't know.
Will it scare people to death if they scare you?"
The tenderness ignited in his heart by Qi Zi's words was covered with snow. He walked past her and sat at the table, pouring tea himself. Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Zi walked up to him and said, "Come back.
Alright, I can go."
Xuan Yi's heart tightened, he frowned slightly, and said something that Qi Zi couldn't figure out: "Do you really want to escape from me?"
Qi Zi was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had heard wrongly. Why did he say such things to her? This must be an illusion. She calmed down and turned her back to him and said, "Of course, the further away you are from me, the better."
The water in the cup was shaking, and a few drops jumped out. It can be seen that Qi Zi's words gave Xuan Yi a big blow, and there was no place for him in her heart at all. Xuan Yi smiled strangely and said: "You
Don’t you want to save your maid?”
Qi Zi looked back at him, and he caught her weakness. At this time, she was desperate and had no choice but to say angrily: "What do you want?"
"Play three games with me. If you win, I will let go of the person you want to save." Xuan Yi pointed at the chess table and said.
"What if we lose?" Qi Zi frowned and asked.
Xuan Yi stood up and looked at her and said: "If you lose, I will also let the person you want to save, but there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
"You can't go against my wishes in the future."
Qi Zi asked: "I wonder what the emperor's wishes specifically refer to?"
"Hmph." Xuan Yi chuckled and said, "You must obey my words and do not contradict me. Without my will, you must not leave my sight without permission, etc."
"What kind of will is this? It's obviously house arrest."
"Yes, it's house arrest. Do you dare to agree to my conditions?" Xuan Yi said proudly, sitting by the chess table and playing with the chess pieces.
"Humph." Qi Zi also chuckled and said, "Why don't you dare?" After saying this, he thought to himself: If I can defeat Master Liu, I will definitely defeat you.
Qi Zi sat on the other side of the chess table, Xuan Yi held the black stone, and Qi Zi held the white stone. Defu brought two cups of tea over, and Xuan Yi ordered: "No one is allowed to come in without my will."
"According to the order." Defu exited.
Xuanyi, holding the black stone, dropped Tian Yuan, and the chess game began. Qi Zi dropped the white stone to occupy the corner, and Xuanyi raised the black stone to occupy the border. Qi Zi was stunned for a moment, thinking about how the other party would arrange it. That's it, you have one stone and I have one.
The chess player was playing on the chessboard, and Qi Zi suddenly moved eastward and west, and captured Xuan Yi's chess piece. Xuan Yi was shocked, why was he so careless, but he moved the chess pieces leisurely, and waited until the chess piece was about to be eaten by Qi Zi again.
At that moment, he suddenly left a gap, turned around and captured Qi Zi's chess piece.
He really couldn't be careless, Qi Zi lost in the first game.
Zhuan Ken's first update was about to pass, and the second round was coming to an end. Qi Zi was a little tired, but she still fought hard with Xuan Yi. Qi Zi won the second round. She smiled softly, Xuan Yi
Said: "Don't worry, there is still one game left."
"Don't worry, I won't lose to you."
"Oh, so confident."
"Master once taught that a chess player should be calm and composed, but joy and sorrow can leave opportunities for the opponent to take advantage of."
"How do you know I can't beat you?"
"You seem to be sweating." Qi Zi said contemptuously, and Xuan Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Playing chess with her was more challenging than playing with Concubine Ling. He thought that Concubine Ling's chess skills were superb, but in the end, she failed.
She has never beaten him in a game. Concubine Ling is very serious about chess and cannot tolerate anyone insulting her on the chessboard. Therefore, unlike other concubines, she gives way to Xuan Yi when playing chess with Xuan Yi and deliberately leaves some room for Xuan Yi.
This is one of the reasons why Xuan Yi likes to play chess with her. But Qi Zi is the same. She cannot be described as superb. She is still the first person to tie with herself. She must win.
The momentum made Xuan Yi feel a sense of urgency for the first time.
"Don't worry, there is still one round left, and I don't believe I will lose." Xuan Yi said not to be outdone.
"Okay, let's see the real moves on the chessboard." Qi Zi was not to be outdone.
Xuan Yi moved his hand to place the chess piece, and Qi Zi followed closely behind, one person and one chess piece. Halfway through, there was a loud thunder outside the window. He was shocked that the chess piece in Qi Zi's hand fell where it shouldn't have landed. A gentleman should not be indecisive about a chess move. This is the key.
Qi Zi lost the whole game with one move. Xuan Yi won by luck, and it seemed that God was helping him. Qi Zi said angrily: "Do you think this game should count?"
"Of course, it's your own indecision, you can't blame anyone else." Xuan Yi responded.
Qi Zi was about to say something when Defu came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court."
The rain outside the window had stopped, and it was midnight. Xuan Yi stood up and stretched. He looked at the depressed Qi Zi in a good mood and said, "You have to remember the agreement you made before."
