Work overtime

Li Beichen looked up at Concubine Jing, "Okay. You go first."

Concubine Jing thought that by playing chess, she might be able to delay for a little more time, and she might be able to catch a lunch.

Obviously, he has already thought about it, but he is still unwilling to make a decision.

How could Li Beichen not know what Concubine Jing was thinking, and frowned slightly, "As far as I can remember, Concubine Jing's chess skills have always been superb, why did she refuse to make a move today. Could it be that she has regressed after not playing for a long time?"

Concubine Jing couldn't continue to delay, so she had to settle.

"Concubine Jing really played a good game of chess. This move is wonderful!" Li Beichen praised.

When Concubine Jing heard the emperor's compliment, she immediately smiled, bright and radiant, and her complacency was beyond words.

Li Beichen had already calculated Concubine Jing's move, and set up sunspots casually.

This move was quite ordinary, Concubine Jing paused for a moment with great confidence, and then proceeded to make a move.

After a few back and forth, Concubine Jing's face became more and more ugly.

On the chessboard, the sunspots that seemed to be idle are already connected, and the white pieces are stretched.

But still stalemate, the outcome is hard to tell.

She hesitated for a long time before dropping the white pieces in her hand.

Li Beichen picked up the Longquan porcelain cup beside him, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly.

The faint scent of tea immediately lingered and spread around them.

"Concubine Jing, do you know what is the most taboo thing in chess?"

Concubine Jing was taken aback, thinking about Concubine Xia's miscarriage today, she felt a little guilty, but she was full of confidence when she thought that the man was dead and there was no proof of death, "The chess skills of my concubines are far inferior to that of the emperor, so please ask the emperor to teach my concubines."

"I remember that Chen Xiang mentioned that your chess master was from the national player Mei Donghai. Didn't he tell you? The most taboo in chess is to rush to attack. If you get a piece, you will not be able to gain momentum. If you are eager to attack, you will be full of flaws. Let the original win A good move, but eventually lost."

Concubine Jing looked at the emperor in astonishment, her eyes met, she couldn't see the deep meaning in the emperor's eyes, she just felt that it was dark and unclear.

Silently lowered his eyes.

It seems that the emperor beat her by playing chess, and told her that she already knew that it was her who was behind the scenes.

But since the emperor didn't deal with anyone publicly, he was just reminding her that she can't do this again in the future.

Concubine Jing is not a novice in the workplace, she just smiled sweetly and pulled the emperor's arm coquettishly, with dimples on the corners of her mouth.

"The emperor's chess skills are so high. If you take one step and watch ten or a hundred moves, isn't it normal for the concubine to lose? It is an honor for the concubine to get the emperor's advice. I will definitely reflect on it after I go back. Besides, the concubine recently met I don’t care about the emperor, I miss you all day, so of course I’m impatient.”

He also expressed his attitude without any trace.

Li Beichen stretched his eyebrows and put down the teacup.

"You come from the prime minister's mansion. You were carefully cultivated by Prime Minister Chen since you were a child, and you were intelligent at an early age. You were also taught by the national champion Mei Donghai. Don't let down the painstaking efforts of Prime Minister Chen and Master, as well as my expectations. Today's stinky chess, Don't go down any more."

After finishing speaking, Li Beichen casually picked up a sunspot and landed it on the chessboard.

Only this one decides the world.

Concubine Jing stared at the chessboard in amazement, and after a while, exclaimed loudly, "The emperor is too powerful. Why didn't the concubine think of it!"

After finishing speaking, he showed shame on his face, but his eyes were full of spring, "Why don't I come to play chess with the emperor every day in the future? The emperor also gives advice to my concubines."

The emperor raised his eyes and stared at Concubine Jing with deep eyes, "Concubine Jing, you should go back and practice hard for a few days, and then come back to play chess with me after recovering to the previous level. Playing chess is only interesting if you meet your opponent."

He put down the cup in his hand and dropped it on the table with a clear sound.

Passing over Concubine Jing, she looked out of the window with a relaxed expression.

Concubine Jing suddenly realized that the emperor was waiting for someone, and her heart was full of jealousy.

"The concubine played this game and found some feelings. Why don't your majesty play another game with the concubine to see if the concubine has understood what the emperor just said and has made progress?"

What answered her was Li Beichen's words to see off the guests: "Another day. Xu Fuhai, you send off Concubine Jing."

The look is faint, and the words are also faint.

"Your Majesty~~" Concubine Jing still wanted to act coquettishly to stay here, at least to give some eye drops to the people who came later.

But I heard a notification from the eunuch: "Chen Ning begs to see~"

Li Beichen immediately showed joy on his face, "Xu Fuhai, why are you working now, why don't you send Concubine Jing back to the palace, and welcome Tianxiang in."

It turned out that the emperor was looking forward to the courtiers.

The jealousy in Concubine Jing's heart disappeared immediately.

Just thinking to myself, who is Chen Ning?Why never heard of it before?
When she walked out of Qinzheng Hall with her chin up, she met a young man in a blue robe who also raised his chin slightly, with a majestic aura and a bit of aloofness in his eyes.

This is Chen Ning?The emperor's new favorite?

Concubine Jing couldn't help looking at this man curiously.

Chen Ning didn't look sideways, and followed the servant into the inner hall with big strides.

After entering the store, Chen Ning and Li Beichen reported on the public opinion trends in Beijing today and the work he had done.

First, I took out four story books, and on the covers were "Wait a minute", "Legend of the Shocking Concubine Fugui", "Who is her real identity", and "Killed 48 Rebels at the beginning".

Li Beichen opened a book, and saw that it said: "It is said that there is a miraculous concubine in the harem of this dynasty. She comes from the common people, not from the family of high officials and nobles. She is jealous of evil, but she is loyal to the royal family."

"The writing is not bad," Li Beichen suppressed a smile, and asked Chen Ning, "Is this Chen Qing's propaganda work?"

"Return to the emperor. This is a book of rumors circulating in the streets and alleys, and there are many storytellers telling stories on the street." Chen Ning immediately said respectfully.

"What does Chen Qing think about this?" Li Beichen turned to the end with great interest, wanting to see what kind of ending these script writers arranged for Fugui.

Unexpectedly, it reads at the end, "This article is currently being serialized. If you want to know what will happen next, please buy the next volume."

The corner of Li Beichen's mouth curled into a slight smile.

Chen Ning immediately replied, "Someone must have done it deliberately. Otherwise, I wouldn't know so many details."

"Well. You should pay attention to the contents of these scriptures. Don't startle the snake first."

Li Beichen looked through the other books curiously.Basically, it is all a routine, nothing more than words and sentences, detailed descriptions, and differences in content.

Chen Ning secretly observed the emperor, he felt as if he had mastered some kind of code to get promoted and get rich, "I will follow the emperor's will."

"Has all the news from yesterday been spread out?"

Chen Ning replied immediately: "Weichen has contacted Mr. Jiang, and other channels have gradually spread the news. It is a good time to reopen the Tianxiang Building tonight, and arrangements have been made."

Master Jiang is Jiang Jingxian.

At present, their Ministry of Security is still in the trial operation stage, and there are only two employees.

Li Beichen closed the notebook in his hand, and asked very seriously, "What are the rumors in the capital that Dali Temple is reporting Ye Zhuqing's cheating case in the exam."

"Back to the emperor. The candidates have all returned to their hometowns. Some candidates talked about it, but the movement was not as great as expected. Ye Zhuqing's reputation is quite good. Many people wondered if this was the ghost of the mortal enemy of the Minister of Industry taking advantage of the anti-corruption. It caused more people I am concerned about the case of arson and robbery last night, and there are many speculations about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes."

"What guesses are there?" Li Beichen refilled himself a cup of tea.

Pour another empty glass.

"Chen Qing, drink some tea. Speak slowly."

It is true that Chen Ning is a genius.But in terms of worldly sophistication, it is indeed a little bit worse.

Chen Ning was flattered, and when he picked up the teacup, he immediately realized what was wrong just now.How can the emperor pour tea for himself.

In an instant, he put down his teacup in fear and trepidation, and knelt on the ground, "I have lost my dignity in front of the imperial court, and my honor and inferiority have been messed up. I beg the emperor to punish me."

Li Beichen helped Chen Ning up with a smile, with a calm expression on his face, "It's a small matter. Chen Qing doesn't have to be so restrained. Drink tea!"

It seems that the corporal is very handsome and magnanimous.

Chen Ning was quite moved, but he knew in his heart that there would be no next time in front of the emperor.

At this moment, Xu Fuhai ran in with a small step and announced: "My Majesty, Fugui is waiting outside the hall, do you arrange for Fugui to rest in a side hall?"
