Kang Jueming really likes playing chess. People like him are usually very serious and don't have much entertainment. The only entertainment is playing chess with his subordinates.
His chess skills are good, and there are not many opponents who can match him.
Dongfang Qing has worked hard at chess. She has always known that her concubine's background is not high. How can she increase her capital under such circumstances?
That is to learn more talents, such as tea art, calligraphy, chess, etc.
She has a deep knowledge of tea ceremony and also likes to play chess, but there is no opponent for her in the house. She can only play with herself, left hand against right hand.
Now that she had met a good opponent, she was naturally overjoyed. She played three sets with Kang Jueming, with each winning or losing.
"Win two out of three games, General Kang, you still win."
Dongfang Qing was willing to admit defeat. His chess skills were inferior to his strategizing. It was not easy to beat him. It was just a fluke that he won the first game.
"There, Miss Dongfang's chess skills are not bad either. I will definitely ask Kang for advice someday."
"Major General Kang has given you the award. It's time to go to the palace banquet. General Kang, my daughter has to go first."
"Let's go together."
Kang Jueming suddenly said.
"this……"
"Don't you think Miss Dongfang dislikes Kang?"
"There, being favored by Major General Kang is a blessing that Qing'er gained in his previous life. So, let's go together."
…
The two attended the palace banquet together and walked side by side. This scene attracted the attention of many people, especially sensitive court officials and some noble ladies. Of course, Sima Ruo also noticed.
Damn it, this guy from Dongfang Qing is actually so close to General Kang?
"That's where the little girl's place is."
Dongfang Qing pointed to a place and separated from Kang Jueming.
"..." Kang Jueming nodded without saying anything, and there was a hint of warmth in his cold eyes.
"General Kang."
Prince Qin Guan looked for Kang Jueming for a long time before he saw him and dragged him to sit down at the arranged seat.
Since the Qin State was a distinguished guest of the Huang State, the seats arranged were naturally very good, and they were the top seats.
But he is the second one among the above. The first one is naturally Temulans from the River Kingdom.
Qin Guan doesn't care about this. It's understandable that Huang State pays more attention to Dahe State now. If he uses this to make trouble, Huang State will not give him a good look.
Opposite are the courtiers of the Huang Kingdom, especially members of several major families, who are sitting in the upper seats.
The second-lowest position was for the family members of the courtiers, and Dongfang Qing was also arranged to sit among those positions.
Kang Jueming searched with his eyes and soon saw that beautiful figure.
"General Kang, don't blame me for not warning you. Don't let an ordinary concubine spoil the important things we have come to Huang Country for this time."
Qin Guan noticed Kang Jueming's eyes and stared at Dongfang Qing.
"Pink is easy to come by, but a close friend is hard to find."
Kang Jueming sighed and said to Qin Guan, "Prince, I dare not forget the purpose of our trip. Everything will be arranged by the prince."
"That's good. I hope you remember that you are a subject of Qin State, not Huang State. That woman...Dongfang Qing, don't blame me for not reminding you, she must have come with bad intentions."
"Why? She's just a little girl. Even if she was really arranged by the Huang Kingdom to get close to me, she's quite to my liking. I believe everything she revealed to me was not false. She's just a little girl.
I am confident that I will have her in my hands, so that nothing bad will happen to Qin."
