"Inferior?" Xianyue shook her head with a complex expression and said, "You are wrong. Not only is she not an inferior, she is even smarter than me."
Qi Kuan and A Luo were both shocked and said, "Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Have you ever noticed that every time she makes a move, she stares at the chessboard for a long time." Regarding Xianyue's words, A Luo said disapprovingly: "Isn't this normal? A pure concubine is not good at chess, so naturally she has to think about it for a while.
, only when you see the situation on the chessboard clearly can you make a good move."
Xianyue's lips curved slightly, and she raised her eyes and said, "But the places she stares at are mostly empty spaces without chess pieces. Ask Qi Kuan, if it were him, would this happen?"
Without waiting for A Luo to ask, Qi Kuan said: "No, in this way, the pure concubine is indeed a bit weird, but if you say that the pure concubine is good at chess, I still don't understand."
"It's very simple. She only looked at the chess moves that she could take, as well as the chess moves that I might play, and she chose a chess path that was just right for her to lose to me, but she wouldn't lose miserably.
Chess skills, this is not something that ordinary people can do." She said with a half-smile: "I will ask you now, is her chess skills good or not?"
Qi Kuan saw sweat on his forehead, lowered his eyes and said: "If this is true, Chunbi is not only good at chess, but also has a first-rate mind."
A Luo listened to the conversation between the two and said with some suspicion: "Master, does Chunbi really have such superb chess skills and thoughts? This... this is a bit unbelievable? Besides, since she is good at chess, she will win if she wins, so why must she win?
What about losing to the master?"
"I just stared at the chessboard for a long time, and replayed all the chess pieces played by each other in my mind. There will be no mistakes." At this point, Xianyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "
I did win, but I won under her control, and she treated me as a pawn!"
A Luo shuddered when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "She...what exactly does she want to do?"
"I have been living with her for several years in Qiandi. I have always thought that she is a person who is content with the status quo and will not fight for anything. Now it seems that I am really wrong." Xianyue stroked the embroidery on her collar and said: "
However, the few words she said to me before allowed me to guess her relationship with Concubine Hui."
"What is it?" A Luo asked eagerly. Although Qi Kuan did not speak, he was also full of curiosity about it.
"I just found out where she lived before entering the Qian Mansion. I remember that Mrs. Gao was also born in Taiping Mansion. In other words, they probably knew each other before they entered the Qian Mansion, but they just pretended not to know each other.
That’s all. So that we can leverage each other’s strength in the dormitory and even in the harem.”
After Zhichun packed up her things, she said with some confusion: "You said before that Chun Bin would tell us her purpose of coming tonight, but Chun Bin didn't mention it."
"She has already said it." It was Qi Kuan who spoke. After receiving Xianyue's point of view, he continued: "Chunbi said that Concubine Hui was very dissatisfied with her master and her second elder brother. She was telling the master in a subtle way that Hui
The concubine will probably take action again out of dissatisfaction, which is the purpose of her coming here. But..." Qi Kuan hesitated and said, "Master, will Concubine Hui really take action?"
"I can't answer you, but as a pure concubine, I shouldn't do useless things. But if Concubine Hui really wants to harm me and the second elder brother, why would she come here to remind you? If she stands on the side of Hui
The concubine should be hoping that something will happen to me, but now it seems that she is helping me." Xianyue frowned, thinking about the answer to this question.
A Luo asked from the side: "Could it be... that this is also a pure concubine's conspiracy?"
Xianyue thought for a long time to no avail, shook her head and said: "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time. I'm not worried. I'm just afraid that Yonglian will be in trouble. If Mrs. Gao really takes action,
The queen’s methods are absolutely unstoppable.”
Qi Kuan thought for a while and said: "The second elder brother is the eldest son, has a distinguished status, and is favored by the emperor and the queen mother. Concubine Hui should not dare to be so presumptuous."
Xianyue sighed softly: "I hope so."
Qi Kuan was silent for a while and said: "Master, since you know that Chun Bin is not a good person, why do you let Chun Bin's brother continue to take the provincial examination? If he really succeeds in the provincial examination, wouldn't he indirectly help Chun Bin? The more powerful she becomes,
The worse it will be for you, Master. Hiding one's strength and biding one's time is only a temporary measure, one day she will show her fangs."
Xianyue smiled and shook her head, her red emerald earrings dangled gently on her cheeks, creating streaks of light, "I'm not helping her, but letting her fall into deeper desires. If Su's plot is limited,
In the harem, her thoughts and methods are enough to cope with it, but if there is one more former dynasty, it will be stretched."
"I still don't understand." Not only Qi Kuan, but A Luo and Zhi Chun were also confused.
Xianyue smiled and said: "Let me explain it more clearly. When Chunbin's younger brother passes the imperial examination and becomes an official in the court, Chunbin will hope that his brother's official position will become bigger and bigger, and will do everything possible to help her brother, including
Advise the emperor, thereby improving the status of the mother's family and getting rid of the
The mother's family is humble and no one is an official. As everyone knows, a big tree attracts wind. Once the Su family really rises, it will attract countless attentions. It would be better if they follow the rules and be cautious in everything, otherwise they will definitely answer the sentence: Mu Xiu
In the forest, the wind will destroy it."
Qi Kuan listened to her words carefully, and then said: "What the master said is true, but...this matter is still somewhat risky after all. I think it would be better to be confined to the harem. After all...please forgive me for telling the truth."
, the master now has no mother’s family to rely on.”
"Perhaps, but my mother's family is strong, and there are good and bad aspects. How about the former imperial concubine Dunsu? My brother has made great military exploits and is a very popular minister. In the end, it was not wiped out in ashes." After saying this, she ordered.
He said: "During this period, I will keep an eye on Jingren Palace and Yikun Palace. I want to know their actions as much as possible."
"I know." When Qi Kuan and others retreated, Xianyue also crossed the threshold and came under the eaves. The originally bright and bright moon was now completely covered by dark clouds, and only a few stars were twinkling in the night sky.
A faint light.
If the moon doesn't appear, does it mean that disaster in the harem is coming?
Gao Ruyu, Su Yingxue...these two people really refused to give up, but it didn't matter, she would not let go of anyone who dared to harm her and Yonglian!
The next morning, Xianyue went to Cining Palace to pay his respects as usual. She thought she would be rejected again, but she didn't expect to be able to come to the Buddhist hall.
Ling Ruo was kneeling on the ball, closing her eyes and chanting softly. She didn't dare to start, and waited quietly aside. After Ling Ruo opened her eyes, she knelt down and said, "My dear, please send my regards to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed."
