Family Has a Concubine

A few people walked over, and before they squeezed into the crowd, they met an old acquaintance, Ye Licai.

Seeing Ye Tangcai, Ye Licai's small face froze, and then she turned her head away without saying hello, as if she didn't know her.

Ye Tangcai sneered, but she didn't bother to pay attention to her, anyway, Ye Licai's words were just ridicule, and there was nothing good to say.

"Let's squeeze in!" Shangguan Yun said.

The place was tightly surrounded, with three floors inside and three floors outside, and it couldn't even be squeezed.

Shangguan Yun patted the person in front: "Give way, we have to go in."

Shangguan Yun is well-known in the aristocratic circle of Daqi, and Shangguan Xiu is also the commander of the imperial army, and is favored by the emperor, so when those people saw her, they all gave way politely.

Several people squeezed in, and saw a pair of young girls sitting on the ground facing each other under a big maple tree.

Facing Ye Tangcai and the others was a girl in black, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an ordinary appearance, only two big braids on her head, wrapped with colorful ribbons hanging on her chest.

She was wearing a black jacket and skirt embroidered with birds, a whole set of silver jewelry on her head, five or six gold and silver bracelets on each hand, and small riding boots.

One look at this unique dress and know that she is from Beiyan.

And sitting opposite the girl in black was Liao Jueyao.

There was only an ordinary blanket on the ground, and the two sat facing each other on the floor. There was a chessboard in the middle with black and white chess pieces on it, and the two were playing chess.

Surrounded by a group of people, including Beiyan's, and Daqi's noble sons and daughters, watching them play chess and whispering.

"Look, I'm playing chess." Zhao Yingqi whispered.

"Yes." Ye Tangcai nodded.

"Tell me, who will win?" Yuan Nanying leaned over.

She used to be just a lowly concubine with little monthly income. In order to live a better life, she spent all her time doing netting or embroidery in exchange for some pocket money. She had no time to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and other elegant things.

Ye Tangcai looked at it carefully for a while, and then said calmly: "I don't know yet, this situation is undecided."

In fact, she felt that Liao Yuyao was inferior to this seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in black.

But she can't say that. It was not because she was afraid of offending Liao Jueyao, but because one of the two chess players was from Daqi and the other was from Beiyan. As a native of Daqi, how could she say that Daqi would lose.

If it accidentally reaches Emperor Zhengxuan's ears, then she will become a sinner! It's okay if you win, but if you lose, then she will curse you!

Even if it didn't reach the emperor's ears, the people around would not let her go if she said that Da Qi would be defeated.

So Ye Tang chose not to comment. Just watch the battle silently, anyway, whoever wins and who loses will see for himself in a while.

Ye Tangcai lowered his head, only to see that the chess game had just begun, the girl from Beiyan was calm and relaxed, and Liao Jueyao also looked relaxed.

The girl from Beiyan holds the black, and Liao Jueyao holds the white. The two of them just sit on the ground like that, playing chess with each other.

In the first dozen or so moves, Liao Jueyao was at a disadvantage, but the people around couldn't tell.

And Liao Jueyao is quite relaxed now. After all, this is just the beginning. In such a big situation, there is too much room for display and change. She is not in a hurry, let the other party be proud first.

"Look at our girl Liao, what a great play!" A voice of praise sounded, but it was Ye Licai.

"That's right, you see Miss Liao blocked the way for Miss Beiyan." Another laugh came from an acquaintance, Ye Tangcai hadn't seen her for a long time, she was Bao Qi from Zhuang Guohou's residence.

Ye Licai and Bao Qi smiled triumphantly, and then glanced at Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tangcai was speechless. Because of Qi Min, Liao Jueyao and Ye Tangcai became enemies. Liao Jueyao also caused Ye Chengde to tarnish the reputation of Ye Tangcai's mother and daughter.

Are Ye Licai and Bao Yue thinking that an enemy's enemy is a friend, and now that Liao Jueyao is ready to play chess, she, Ye Tangcai, will be miserable?

Ye Tangcai snorted, let's talk after winning!

With the two of them taking the lead, the surrounding Daqi people also praised it.

The Beiyan people didn't say a word, and the Daqi people thought they were afraid, so they didn't dare to say anything. After all, Beiyan is a subordinate state of Daqi, and since then it has always been low-key in front of Daqi.

Amidst the praises of the crowd, the two played for about two quarters of an hour, and reached the middle game.

The girl in black still looked calm, but Liao Jueyao's face turned pale.

Most of the Daqi people who were talking about it kept their mouths shut. There are also some aristocrats and aristocrats who play chess very well. At this point, it can be seen that Liao Jueyao is at a disadvantage and is suppressed to death.

"It's only in the middle of the game now, Miss Liao is just holding back." Ye Licai said with a bit of reluctance.

"It's still too early to end. If you have to hold on, it will come back slowly." A noble son said.

Liao Jueyao took a deep breath, now it was obvious that she was at a disadvantage and was suppressed by the girl in black.

She couldn't help but looked up at the black-clothed girl opposite, and saw that the other party was indifferent from beginning to end, without any disturbance.

She didn't even have a smug look on her face, which was what put Liao Jueyao under the greatest pressure.

hold on! hold on! Now it's just a middle game, and there is still a lot of room to play. She can definitely turn defeat into victory.

Liao Jueyao encouraged herself, and quickly stabilized her mind, and fought against the girl in black more cautiously.

But the further down, Liao Jueyao's complexion became uglier, because her disadvantage has not been reversed, and even worsened.

The aristocrats and ladies around couldn't help but become dignified, and their hearts were full of unwillingness. In this situation, it was too difficult to turn over.

Sure enough, after another quarter of an hour or so, the situation between the two sides had completely settled down. The noble sons and noble ladies who had been making noise just now all shut their mouths, their faces darkened, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Liao Jueyao, who was sitting opposite the girl in black, had a pretty pale face, sweat dripped from her forehead, and her face was exhausted. Finally, she lowered her head and said weakly: "I, I lost."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the princes and ladies of Daqi changed.

Although they already knew the ending at the end, when Liao Jueyao said to admit defeat, the sense of humiliation and humiliation doubled.

After all, they are from Daqi, while the other party is from Beiyan. However, Liao Jueyao is the number one talented woman in Da Qi, and she is also known for her chess skills, so she is called the number one female chess player in Da Qi.

What Liao Jueyao represented was not an individual, but the face of Daqi as a whole.

And now, Liao Jueyao actually lost!

"Thank you for your advice." The girl in black didn't feel complacent, and said in a crisp voice.

The more humble and polite she is, the more uncomfortable Liao Jueyao is.

"Wow, it's a good game!" Suddenly a delicate laugh sounded.

Everyone turned their heads and saw another woman in black walking over, dressed exactly like Liao Jueyao's opponent, but this woman was older, in her twenties, with a pretty face.

"Senior Sister, you're here." The girl in black raised her head and looked at the woman in black with a faint smile. It was obvious that the two of them went out of the same door.

I saw the woman in black sitting down next to the girl in black, looked at the chessboard, then raised her head and said to Liao Jueyao: "Girl, you played really well. You don't have to feel bad, I am a junior sister, it is our Beibei chess player." Yan's number one female chess player, she is my junior sister, but her chess ability is better than mine."

Hearing that the girl in black was their number one female chess player in Beiyan, Liao Jueyao's face turned red, and she didn't dare to say that she was also the number one female chess player in Daqi!

The Daqi people around were too ashamed to hum.

"Girl, I really like your chess style." The woman in black said with a smile, "Can you play a game with me too?"

Liao Jueyao's pretty face froze. She was beaten so badly that she didn't want to play chess anymore, but if someone sincerely invited her, she would lose her grace if she disagreed.

Moreover, if he lost to a Beiyan woman, would he lose to a second one?

I lost face just now, and now I win once, at least I can save my face, as well as Da Qi's face.

Thinking of this, Liao Jueyao was full of confidence again, and nodded generously: "Well, please advise."

"Senior sister, please." The girl in black said softly, stood up, and gave up the seat to the woman in black.

The woman in black sat down and had a guessing game with Liao Jueyao, this time Liao Jueyao was black.

After the two met the ceremony, you come and I go to the ground and get up.

After twenty or thirty moves, Liao Jueyao breathed a sigh of relief. This woman in black is indeed not as good as the girl in black just now! This time, she has to be careful, she will win!

Liao Jueyao stabilized her mind and slowly got up. It was good at the beginning, but who knows that in the middle of the game, I have been unknowingly at a disadvantage, but it can still be recovered!

But after another 20 or 30 moves, she started to run out of money. Liao Jueyao's expression changed drastically. Is she going to lose again?

She tried desperately to recover, but in the end she lost!

Liao Jueyao's face was livid, and she lowered her head: "I lost."

Da Qi's face changed dramatically, how could he lose again? They only felt that their face was completely lost, and they turned around and left.

Liao Jueyao also felt ashamed, stood up, turned around and left quickly.

Because of the two games of chess, the atmosphere of the entire Qinghui Garden became somewhat gloomy, and the prosperity created with great effort became eclipsed and withered because of this game of chess.

"She actually lost!" Shangguan Yun sneered when she saw the scattered crowd and Liao Jueyao's dingy back.

Shangguan Yun has always been at odds with Liao Jueyao, because both of them are top-notch ladies, and they have been comparing and fighting with each other.

Liao Jueyao is the number one talented woman in Daqi, and Shangguan Yun is the number one beauty in Daqi. The two are considered to be on equal footing, but now that Liao Jueyao has lost, Shangguan Yun is a little gloating.

Yuan Nanying frowned deeply, that was the face of all of them!

Zhao Yingqi tilted her head, glanced at Ye Tangcai, and then remained silent.

Ye Tang smiled lightly: "Let's go to the lake and have a look."

But Zhao Yingqi didn't dare to go, she had fallen over the lake before.

A few people went to the rockery over there.
