Chapter 341 5-piece chess
Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed to He, and walked towards the Imperial Garden without saying anything.
He frowned. To be honest, this man was so rigid that he looked down on her, not to mention Lan'er.
Afterwards, several princes were also driven out of the hall, leaving only a few first-rank ministers inside.
Although Emperor Zhao knew that this was a trap, it was still a bit traumatic for him.
Even if the Sima family signed the contract, if they really rebelled, they would rewrite history, and who would care about the contract?
If punishment is not possible, then the only option is to scold.
What did the Sima family do that made people in the palace try to assassinate him?
Finally, Sima Yi said that it must be the remnants of Xu Zhongmu.
This gave Emperor Zhao an opportunity, so he sent the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation.
Sima Yi was panicked, but he felt relieved when he remembered that the emperor had covered it up for him in the past.
But he didn't know, even though the emperor had concealed it from him at the beginning.
But when the interests are more important, he will just be the discarded chess piece.
Yuan Man, who had changed his clothes, sat on the observation deck, watching people gathered in groups of three or four talking and chatting, and leaned on Hui Chengyuan out of boredom.
The performance of Emperor Zhao just now was enough to show that the Crown Princess of Anguo could not afford to offend anyone, so naturally no one would dare to come forward and cause trouble for them.
So besides the two of them, the only people around them were two eunuchs waving fans.
Yuan Man was already sleepy from being fanned by them, "I'll take a nap."
Hui Chengyuan hugged her, "Yes."
Upon seeing this, the two eunuchs secretly sighed that Prince Xiaoning really doted on his wife just as the legend said!
The people below naturally noticed it as well and were discussing it secretly.
Those who strictly follow rules said that the Crown Princess was ignorant of etiquette and disregarded her manners by resting in public.
Some people are envious and jealous. No matter what Prince Xiaoning will become in the future, he is really favored now.
The queen was sitting not far from them and saw Yuan Man leaning on the prince to rest.
Not to mention those unmarried girls, she is jealous of them.
"Is Your Majesty jealous?" Concubine Hu asked with a smile.
The Queen glanced at her and asked, "Who wouldn't be envious?"
"Not everyone can get this kind of promise of being together for life."
Concubine Hu Shu smiled and nodded, "That's right. After all, even if you make a promise, whether you can fulfill it is another matter."
Sometimes, no matter how much a promise can make, it is not as useful as an ounce of silver.
However, Prince Xiaoning really takes good care of the Crown Princess.
He is already the father of three children, but he still dotes on the Crown Princess.
It should not be just because the Crown Princess is beautiful, nor just because her family is rich.
But there was something about the Crown Princess that really attracted him and made him linger.
Prince Rui stood alone in a corridor, quietly looking at the magnificent scenery of the imperial garden.
"Your Highness." Zhang Ke walked behind him.
"What's the matter?" King Rui did not turn around, but looked at the perfect couple.
Zhang Ke moved and stood in the dark and said, "I heard what Prince Xiaoning and His Majesty said."
Prince Rui then withdrew his gaze and looked at him, then looked at Prince Heng who was talking to the Prince of Zhenguo, and then looked at Prince Qiong.
"What did they say?"
Zhang Ke briefly recounted what Yuan Man and Emperor Zhao had proposed, "It will be beneficial to Your Highness if this matter is facilitated."
“But we can’t do anything.”
King Rui looked at King Qiong. It would be difficult for King Qiong to plot against him given his intelligence.
Zhang Ke also looked at King Qiong, "Compared to King Qiong, I think King Jin is more suitable."
"Then let him do it. Don't leave any traces." King Rui said and walked out of the corridor.
Zhang Ke stayed in the dark for a long time and then left.
After he left, Yuan Yi, who was squatting on the beam, moved and thought to himself: The Zhao royal family is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Yuan Man had a good sleep, and when she woke up, it was already 3 p.m.
At this time, Hui Chengyuan was playing chess with Prince Rui, while Emperor Zhao was sitting beside them watching.
The queen and the concubines are no longer here.
The girls in the imperial garden were playing various games.
The young masters were playing archery.
Yuanman took a look at the chess pieces they were playing. She didn’t know how to play Go, but she did know how to play Gobang.
So she asked someone to bring a chess set.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhao asked, "Does the Crown Princess also want to play chess?"
Yuan Man shook his hand, "I don't know how to do that. I want to try something else."
Then she immediately saw the person sitting on the edge of the bridge, swinging his legs out of boredom.
"Go, call that girl."
The maid glanced at Emperor Zhao, then turned around and called the person Yuan Man pointed at.
Xiao Lele saluted to Emperor Zhao with a nervous look on his face, then stood there with his head down.
Seeing this, Yuan Man looked at Emperor Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going downstairs to play."
Emperor Zhao smiled and said, "Crown Princess, please do as you please."
Yuanman called the girl, left the observation deck and came to a pavilion.
"what's your name?"
"Replying to the Crown Princess, I am... Xiao Lele."
Xiao Lele's head was about to explode. She was sitting alone by the bridge fine, and then she was called to see His Majesty.
Then he asked Princess Anguo to pull her out.
Yuan Man motioned for her to sit down and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous."
"I was just bored and wanted to find someone to play a little game with."
Then Yuanman taught Xiao Lele how to play Gobang, and the two started playing.
Xiao Lele became more and more excited the more he played. He kept trying and failing, but he kept trying again and again.
She also can't play Go, and can be said to be a bad player.
I didn’t expect that chess could be played this way.
So she became excited, forgot her identity, and pulled Yuanman down more and more excitedly.
She didn't even notice someone coming up behind her.
Yuan Man raised his eyes to look at the person who came, and then continued to play Go with Xiao Lele.
This time, Xiao Lele survived longer than before and placed at least twenty more chess pieces, which allowed Yuan Man to win.
After a while, Hui Chengyuan and others came over.
Xiao Lele was staring at the chessboard, so he didn't notice it.
After she made a move, she saw so many people around her and her face turned pale.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
"Okay, no need to be so polite." Emperor Zhao smiled and waved his hand.
"This chess game is very novel."
Yuan Man smiled and said, "This is called Gobang. If you can connect the five pieces in a row, you win."
"Oh, Prince Xiaoning, shall we play a game?" Emperor Zhao looked at Hui Chengyuan with great interest.
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Your Majesty, please."
Yuan Man and Xiao Lele stood up and gave up their seats.
Hui Chengyuan and Emperor Zhao are really playing chess against each other.
The two of them played like they were playing Go, and they had almost taken up the entire board before Hui Chengyuan connected the five pieces.
Emperor Zhao smiled and said, "He is indeed a young talent."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. You have never seen me being humbled in this way." Hui Chengyuan smiled.
It was getting late and the sky was gradually darkening.
