Chapter 151: Zhenlong Chess Game
Looking at the dark chicken soup, Meng Shiyu really lost his appetite.

I am not afraid of the sky, I am not afraid of the earth, but I am afraid that the lady of Yulou will go to the kitchen.

"Eat..." Li Yulou brought a bowl of chicken soup in front of him, and blew on him.

"I stewed it for two hours, but it tasted delicious. I also tasted the taste. It's really good..."

But Meng Shiyu could only smell the smell of Polygonum multiflorum mixed with other medicinal materials, which is so delicious.

But he still endured and drank half a bowl.

There was no transmission from the main room, and everyone in the whole house fell in admiration of Meng Shiyu's endurance.

After taking a bath, Meng Shiyu turned over and wrapped Li Yulou in his arms.

"I still have something to tell you..." Li Yulou said.

"I have to wait for everything to be done. Who told you to take medicine and burn me in flames..." Meng Shiyu said.

"But your hands are still cold..." Li Yulou said disappointedly while holding Meng Shiyu's palm.

"How can it be so fast..." Meng Shiyu said.

Take off your clothes,...

She was immediately disappointed.

"What should you do if you are so inattentive?" Meng Shiyu said helplessly.

"..." Li Yulou spread his arms out, raised his legs, his eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtful.

"I've already told you not to care about this. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't tell you. I don't care about things that were fun at first..."

Meng Shiyu said,

"Are you scaring me?" Li Yulou looked at him seriously and asked.

"Who frightened you, and I don't know if anyone has seen it. If someone recognizes you, maybe the whole capital will know by now that the number one scholar can't..." Meng Shiyu said.

Li Yulou immediately became alert, "No, I just bought a few herbs..."

"But don't you know what those medicinal materials are?" Meng Shiyu frowned.

Only then did Li Yulou realize the seriousness of the problem.Whether you can have children is secondary, and if your reputation is ruined, it will be troublesome.

"Shi Yu, it's my fault. I was too impatient and didn't think so thoroughly..." Li Yulou apologized with a smile.

"You think you're wrong?" Meng Shiyu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"En!" Li Yulou nodded with a sincere attitude.

"This is not an apology..." Meng Shiyu said.

"Then how do you want me to apologize?" Li Yulou asked.

"Tell me..." Meng Shiyu looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

His lips are pink, his eyebrows are clear, and he is so beautiful.

Li Yulin's cheeks were slightly red, like a peach that has just faded from greenness, and his eyebrows and eyes were drooping.
Those drugs really do seem to work.

"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this medicine. Your body will not be able to bear it..." Li Yulou gasped slightly, sliding his slender fingers on his strong chest.

"Well, for sure..." Meng Shiyu breathed evenly
"You said you have something to tell me, what is it?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Oh..." Li Yulou said, "Princess Yuning wants to call Yukun to be her son-in-law?"

Meng Shiyu was obviously also a little surprised, "I didn't expect Yukun to be so powerful."

"Is it amazing?" Li Yulou frowned slightly, "Do you think you have climbed up to the princess..."

"It's easier for my father-in-law to climb, after all, I'm far away..." Li Yulou said.

"Father is very angry and sad, but very helpless..." Li Yulou felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of Li Xu's appearance today.

Li Xu is still very masculine, and I hope that the Li family can come up with an upright one.

Although marrying a princess looks beautiful, it is equivalent to marrying a son. Who can really treat the son-in-law as a daughter-in-law.

"It's done, so don't think too much about it." Meng Shiyu said, "It may not be a good thing for Yukun... Anyway, he just wants to be a playboy who enjoys life all his life, and this has fulfilled himself."

Li Yulou didn't say anything more, this was indeed Li Yukun's long-standing ambition, but unfortunately, his previous family background could not support him to become a dude.

Princess Yuning and Li Yukun's marriage decree came down faster than Li Yulou imagined.

Immediately, the Li family was different.

Many aristocratic families in the capital have never heard of the origin of the Li family, and now it seems as if they fell from the sky.

Li Xu's work in Yamen was different, no matter Shangfeng, or officials of the same level treated him more politely and courteously.

Of course, there are quite a few people who scolded him behind his back for sending his son to be a male favorite in exchange for his future success.

Li Xu was in a bad mood, and he had to smile at the fake smiles of the officials during the day.

Li Yulou went back to her natal home to comfort Li Xu.

Zhang Xiulan didn't seem to care about this, but was very happy because Princess Yuning gave her the shop directly.

Moreover, the house given by the emperor is also ready-made.

The house is huge, and although the inside is not considered magnificent, it is a mansion for a family like the Li family.

Zhang Xiulan was completely immersed in her own business, and didn't care about taking care of Li Xu's emotions at all.

Moreover, Zhang Xiulan has already written to ask the cloth dyeing workshop in Xiuzhou to move to the capital as soon as possible.

Although Princess Yuning is not the most beloved daughter of the emperor, her first marriage was decided by the emperor. She did not expect that the son-in-law ran away with someone. This son-in-law who hadn't even passed the Tongsheng test was very dissatisfied, but Princess Yuning insisted and he agreed.

All their weddings were handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the Li family hardly had to worry about it.

The news that Princess Yuning was going to remarry spread like wildfire, and became a topic of discussion among people in the capital after dinner.

Of course, there is no lack of belittlement of the Li family and contempt for Li Yukun...

Amidst these discussions, Princess Yuning's birthday has arrived.

"I won't go, someone will definitely say something bad at the birthday party, I feel uncomfortable hearing it..." Li Yulou said.

Seeing that Li Yulou really didn't want to go, Meng Shiyu didn't force him, but it was a young princess' birthday... If he didn't go, he wouldn't go.

"I don't know if the contest between you and Prince Penglai should continue?" Li Yulou asked.

"Naturally, he has been waiting, otherwise he would have gone back to Penglai." Meng Shiyu laughed.

"He is really persistent." Li Yulou snorted.

The Palace of Princess Yuning was crowded with people, the chessboard was already set up, and there was no division between men and women. Anyone who came could watch the chess...

In addition, this competition also started in the gambling houses in the capital, and many people bet on the outfield.

Unexpectedly, it was just a casual bet, but it became a gamble in the whole capital. I heard that the bets add up to tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Showa Shiliurou moved first, he smiled lightly and made a move.

Showa Shiliurou looked humble, but his position was very murderous.

"Let's drop here, is this going to place a big dragon?"

"It looks like it, but I don't know if it's a Yang dragon, a Yin dragon, or a rattlesnake..."

"This prince looks humble, but his son is not humble at all, he looks very aggressive..."

"Isn't that how the people of Penglai Kingdom..."

Meng Shiyu's face was calm, and he dropped a child.

Li Yulou didn't understand the chess game either, but the housekeeper seemed to understand, and from time to time sent young men to investigate the progress of the chess game, and set it up in the mansion.

"Young Master, why did you end up here? You're so non-aggressive..." The housekeeper frowned, "If this goes on, the other party will eat up this piece..."

The people in Princess Yuning's mansion also thought the same way. Meng Shiyu's chess style was too retreating, and many people worried that the number one scholar would lose.

Although Meng Shiyu's chess skills may not be considered a big deal in Dazhou, but he is the number one scholar, and this status can easily make people think that he is the most powerful person.

Half an hour later, the chessboard was full of chess pieces, but the audience became more and more blurred, and no one could clearly see the situation of the chess game.

Because Showa Sixteen Lang has been attacking and Meng Shiyu has been defending, but Showa Sixteen Lang just didn't eat Meng Shiyu.

Many people are talking about how this piece should be placed and how that piece should be placed, but soon some people raised objections...

Because of this chess game, many people in Princess Yuning's Mansion are arguing endlessly, which is more interesting than the chess game.

"Miss, go back and sleep for a while if you're sleepy!" Chuntao said seeing Li Yulou dozing off.

Li Yulou hummed, looked at the dense chess game and felt so bored, then got up and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

At the beginning, a group of young ladies were still paying attention to the chess game, but after a long time, those who were not true love got bored and got up and left.

"I have a new manicure..." Princess Anping fiddled with her fingers to show off to her sisters.

"Oh, it's so beautiful..." Everyone complimented.

Those sitting here are all princesses, princesses, and young ladies from various mansions. Of course, they are not short of money, but they dare not show off money. They can only show off these exquisite things.

"This is given to me by my husband," Princess Anning said as she fiddled with a small object in her hand, "Look at it..."

"Isn't it just an ordinary jade pendant?" Someone said.

"Of course it is ordinary, but there are things carved by my husband on it..." Princess Anning opened the inside of the jade pendant for everyone to see.

Sure enough, there is a heart shape inside the jade pendant, and inside the heart are the small characters of two people.

"Oh..." an unmarried magistrate shyly said, "Brother-in-law is so kind, I don't know my future..."

Everyone joked about the little sister for a while.

"Look at me..." Princess Anlan took out a delicate mirror, "The carvings on it are also made by my husband..."

Princess Anping frowned, feeling very unhappy. She just wanted to show off her manicure, and she started to show off her husband no matter what.

Her husband has nothing to show off besides being a Jinshi.

But other people's husbands are not bad.

They are still sleeping in separate beds, is she going to show this off to her sisters.

The more Anping County Master thought about it, the more angry he became.

She grabbed a handful of dry fried crispy meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" the servant girl Yuzhu asked.

"Where is the son-in-law?" Princess Anping asked.

"My son-in-law is watching Mr. Meng play chess." Yuzhu replied.

"He cares more about his rival than me..." Princess Anping said.

Yuzhu looked at Princess Anping with a puzzled expression. Where is this going? If you don't let the son-in-law get close, how can he care about you?

They haven't consummated the house yet, Yuzhu naturally knows.

Meng Shiyu glanced at Showa Shiliulang.Before that, it was Showa Shiliurou who attacked, and he defended passively. The battle situation between the two sides was anxious, but there was no winner or loser.The overall situation is that Showa Juro has the advantage.

But when this subordinate went out, the situation changed drastically.

Showa Shiliurou couldn't believe the situation in front of him, how could it be?
"Good chess!" one person shouted.

"Zhenlong Chess Game..." Some people couldn't believe what they saw, so their tone was full of doubts.

One word awakened the dreamer, "That's right, it's the long-lost Zhenlong chess game..."

Immediately, the people around began to discuss, "Meng Zhuangyuan is really Meng Zhuangyuan. It turns out that he didn't follow the rhythm of Prince Showa at all. He was playing chess with himself, setting up a real dragon chess game..."

The exclamation sounded all around.

The sweat beads on Showa Shiliulang's forehead were densely covered. He never thought that he was not taken seriously by Meng Shiyu at all.

Meng Shiyu was setting the chess game by himself, but he was unable to extricate himself from it. The gap between them was even farther than Donghai.

"Accepted!" Meng Shiyu said lightly.

Showa Shiliulang was not convinced, and wanted to have another game, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

He knew that the gap between himself and Meng Shiyu was too great, even if he felt dissatisfied, he had to bear it.

"I admit defeat..." Showa Shiliurou said.

There was instant applause all around.

"This is a game of the ages!" The people around looked at the chess game and sighed.

"Good chess!" The housekeeper slapped his thigh and shouted.

There were also heated discussions outside the venue. Well, this game caused a sensation in the whole city, and even the emperor had someone re-demonstrate it again, amazed.

Only King Yan smashed the chessboard angrily, and it would be even more difficult for him to kill Meng Shiyu.

"Your Highness, did you really lose?" Reiko looked at Showa Shiliurou in disbelief. This is the most powerful chess player in their Penglai Kingdom. Even the national players dare not fight against the prince. How could they lose? so miserable.

"It is indeed lost." Showa Shiliurou replied weakly.

Showa Shiliurou not only lost this chess game, but also lost his momentum, lost his mind, and it was a complete loss.

"I'm not convinced, I want to fight them again." Reiko said.

"What are you going to fight with them?" Showa Shiliurou asked.

"Embroidery..." Reiko replied.

"You want to compete in embroidery, yes." Princess Yuning said with a smile.

"But I have to wait for a while, His Highness needs to make some preparations."

Princess Yuning asked Meng Shiyu to prepare something to embroider.

"Brother-in-law..." Seeing that there was no one around, Princess Yuning called out with a smile.

No matter how calm Meng Shiyu was, it was still a bit embarrassing to be called the princess.

"His Royal Highness is too polite, I dare not be, I dare not be." Meng Shiyu said.

"You should be my brother-in-law, there is nothing you dare not to do. By the way, the maid next to Showa Shiliulang said that she would compete with us in embroidery. I thought my sister was the best, and these noble girls in the capital are all ostentatious.

We don't know the opponent's strength, we can't lose this round, we should bring out a safe person, but my sister is not here today, you have to send someone back to invite her. "Princess Yuning said with a smile.
