After being reborn, I kidnapped the future powerful minister

Chapter 191 Makeup
Lord Jin nodded, and said: "Yes, this round not only tests literary talent and military strategy, but also tests whether one can guess the opponent's intentions. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one fight a hundred battles without danger. Give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of."

He Zixu curled his lips and said, "Don't say it so mysteriously, if you have any clever tricks, just say it!"

The emperor also couldn't wait to ask: "Yes, yes, how should we compare? King Jin might as well just say it."

Prince Jin smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, just play chess."

After hearing this, He Jiabei and He Jiadong raised their heads and looked at each other.

He Zixu and the emperor were also taken aback for a moment, the emperor squinted his eyes and said, "Playing chess?"

Prince Jin explained solemnly: "The chessboard is like a battlefield. There are many heroes and heroes who have made great achievements in battle, but they just can't pass the Chu River and Han border. Without both wisdom and bravery, they can't win."

At this moment, He Jiabei muttered in a low voice: "Playing chess has nothing to do with the selection of the heir."

Prince Jin's ear was sharp, and he heard it, turned around and said to him: "Who said it doesn't matter? What is the mission of this prince of Guangping? Isn't it Emperor Qin, and the emperor is recognized as a master of chess in the world."

These words made the emperor smile, he waved his hands again and again and said: "Haha, King Jin, don't say that, as the saying goes, there is a sky beyond the sky, masters are like clouds, and I will occasionally end up in a draw."

Prince Jin hurriedly smiled and echoed: "Yes, yes, the emperor is so wise and humble, so the emperor must watch the assessment in person."

The emperor nodded slightly, walked down the stage, and said to He Jiadong and He Jiabei who were kneeling: "That's right, chess skills can reveal character, I want to go through this game of chess and see which of you two is more suitable to be a grand master." Prince Ping's son."

After listening, He Jiadong was complacent and seemed to be very sure of his chess skills, while He Jiabei was frowning and depressed.

But He Zixu pointed at Prince Jin and cursed angrily: "Prince Jin, you are too vicious, and your intentions are not right. You know that the emperor will lose his temper when he looks at chess. Isn't this cheating my two sons?"

Prince Jin laughed and ignored him, but whispered to Duan Cheng, the butler beside him: "This is called non-toxic and not husband, and there will be a good show next time!"

Duan Cheng also laughed when he heard it.

Not far outside, Liao Shiyin murmured, "You're making a fool of yourself, what kind of chess are you playing? Really!"

At this time, the emperor had already ordered someone to set up the chess game. He Jiadong and He Jiabei sat one on the west and one on the east, ready to play chess, and the emperor, as the referee, sat on the side facing north and south, watching the two play chess.

The emperor announced loudly: "One game determines the outcome. Whoever wins will be the heir of the Guangping Palace. From now on, the red chess will go first."

The two immediately responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

He Jiabei glanced at the sky, a little absent-minded, and secretly said: "I don't know how long this game of chess will take, is there still time to save Pei Daozhu?"

Qunfang Pavilion on the other side has already started the oiran auction ceremony.

Madam Xu, the bustard, warmly greeted the guests who filed in. Not long after, a maid rushed over and reported: "Boss, Pei Daozhu refuses to put on makeup."

"Really, I'll go and have a look!" Aunt Xu frowned and hurried up to the second floor.

At this time, Pei Daozhu was sitting alone in her boudoir, a little sad.

Aunt Xu came in, and the maid beside her kept her head down and said, "My maid has already persuaded Miss Pei, but she just refuses to put on makeup, so there is nothing I can do about it."

Aunt Xu nodded slightly, waved her back, then came to Pei Daozhu's side, and said softly: "Daozhu, the guests in the hall are waiting for you."

Unexpectedly, Pei Daozhu said very stubbornly: "Mother, just let me go, I only have He Jiabei in my heart."

Aunt Xu heard this, and said angrily: "I don't care who you like, I spent so much money to buy you back, just want you to be my cash cow, today, whoever offers the highest price, you will to whom."

Pei Daozhu quickly stood up, took her hand and begged, "Ma'am, I know I owe you a lot, so just let me pay you back slowly. He Jiabei and I really love each other."

Aunt Xu snorted and said: "Silly girl, if that He Jiabei really likes you, even if he sells the house and land, he will raise money to come here."

Pei Daozhu said anxiously: "He will definitely come, he promised me!"

Aunt Xu shook her head, and said: "That's not necessarily true. I've met a lot of men. The vows are just lip service. If you really let him take the money, it's hard to say!"

Pei Daozhu said: "No, I believe him, he is not such a person! He will not abandon me!"

Aunt Xu sighed, and said: "Since you said that he will definitely come over, then put on your makeup and wait for him in the hall. If he doesn't come, it proves that he is not sincere to you. This kind of Man, why do you guard yourself like a jade for him?"

Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, she made persistent efforts and said: "There are many people who are waiting to love you. In this way, you can test whether the Fourth Young Master He is sincere, and at the same time let my aunt earn a lot of money, isn't it? Best of both worlds?"

"Ma'am, but..." Pei Daozhu still hesitated.

"Come, come, my aunt, I will personally put on your make-up for you today, sit down quickly, the guests are waiting impatiently, my aunt, I will personally dress you up."

After speaking, she forced Pei Daozhu to sit in front of the dressing table, took a picture in front of the bronze mirror, then picked up a pink bead flower, and said: "Quick, put this on, look, it's pretty!" Isn't it pretty?"

At this time, the game between He Jiadong and He Jiabei has entered a fierce stage.

As soon as He Jiabei settled down, the emperor moved the small bench to He Jiadong's side, pouted at him, and He Jiadong lightly pinched his chin and thought, "This game of chess is related to a lifetime of official career. You can’t act rashly, you’d rather not win than be defeated.”

Thinking this way, he was about to make a move, but suddenly stopped. Seeing this, the emperor stabbed his arm anxiously, and said, "Hey, how do you know that you can only defend but not attack?"

"Your Majesty, I am naturally cautious, please forgive me, this"

Before He Jiadong finished speaking, the emperor hit him on the head twice, saying: "Why be cautious, be cautious, you are so stupid, why are you so stupid! Don't go down."

As he spoke, he moved the small bench to He Jiabei's side again, and urged, "It's your turn to get off."

He Jiabei was taken aback, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, why is it my turn again?"

The emperor glared at him, and said: "If your second brother doesn't come down, isn't it your turn? Hurry up!"

"Win and can't win, lose and can't lose, what should I do?"

He Jiabei thought so in his heart, undecided.

Then, the emperor unceremoniously raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the neck a few times, saying: "Are you blind? Whose cannon is this, and you just take it indiscriminately? It's someone else's cannon! It's really cool to see you playing chess!" I'm so depressed, it's getting dark!"

Everyone suppressed their laughter, Liao Shiyin couldn't help laughing when she saw it from a distance.
