Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 365 Winning Mr. Liu's Painting (1 More)
The facts did indeed develop in the direction Zhao Xi expected.

After more than a dozen rounds between Emperor Guangxi and Song Wei, the outcome has already been decided.

Song Wei wins.

He stopped and stood up, planning to confess his crime before leaving.

Emperor Guangxi glanced at the chess game, but he refused to let it go, "Just now I was afraid that you would lose too badly, and deliberately gave in. Do you dare to play another game?"

After Song Wei listened, he cupped his hands and said: "What the emperor said is the imperial decree, the humble minister can only obey the order, there is no such thing as dare or dare."

"Sit." Emperor Guangxi beckoned him.

Song Wei sat back again, this time Emperor Guangxi chose first and took the white stone.

Song Wei picked up a sunspot and pinched it on his fingertips. He didn't drop it in a hurry, but looked at Emperor Guangxi, "Since it's a game, wouldn't it be boring without a lottery?"

Emperor Guangxi paused his hand that was about to make a move, and raised his eyes to look over, "It's a big tone, this hasn't even started yet, you dare to be sure that you can win the second game?"

Song Wei said: "Weichen is not proficient in chess, and it is a fluke to win the first game. Once the emperor goes all out in the second game, the chance of winning is too small. If there is no incentive to win at this time, then, The humble minister will definitely lose."

It's rare for this brat to speak without harshness. Emperor Guangxi raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What kind of prize do you want?"

Song Wei said, "I heard that the Empress Dowager has a painting of Mr. Liu in her hand. If I can win, the emperor will give it to me, how about it?"

Emperor Guangxi narrowed his eyes.

Does the queen mother have Mr. Liu's painting in her hand?How has he never heard of it?
Zhao Xi also wondered, didn't the emperor's grandmother always hate antique calligraphy and paintings the most?Those things are basically not displayed in the Shouan Palace. When will there be another painting by Mr. Liu?

When he came back to his senses, Emperor Guangxi was about to speak when Zhao Xi took the blame, "Song Hanlin only has a [-]% chance of winning, and the remaining [-]% chance for you to lose. If you lose, so what?"

Song Wei said bluntly, "If the humble minister loses, and the emperor says what to do, then so be it."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Guangxi sneered coldly, "Do you think I'm stupid? With my status, even if I don't play chess today, if you are told to go east, do you still dare to go west?"

Song Wei smiled softly, "If the emperor wants to be so serious, there will be no one in the world who can bet with you."

Emperor Guangxi also thought about it, and thought for a moment, "Let's do it this way, if you lose, from now on you will be at my disposal, whoever I ask you to deal with, you can't find excuses to shirk, dare you?"

To put it bluntly, as long as Song Wei loses this game, he has to be willing to become the sharp sword in the hands of Emperor Guangxi.

Don't think about it, Emperor Guangxi is not good at himself, so he wants to use his hands to deal with the Su family.

Willing to admit defeat, Song Wei nodded without any hesitation, "Okay."

"readily!"

Emperor Guangxi pursed his lips and smiled in satisfaction, and began to settle down.

In the first round, Emperor Guangxi underestimated the opponent's strength and gave Song Wei the upper hand from the beginning.

In this round, he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he put on all his energy.

Song Wei wanted to get the painting of Shou'an Palace, so naturally he refused to give in.

The two fought back and forth again, and it ended in a draw.

"Come again." Emperor Guangxi said while picking up chess.

Seeing Song Wei glanced out of the window from time to time, Emperor Guangxi saw that he was looking at the time, and ordered Eunuch Cui, "Send an order to cancel the trip to the south, and let the Queen and the Ministry of Rites start preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

After Eunuch Cui retired, Emperor Guangxi said to Song Wei again: "If you think it's too late and dare not go home, I will send you off later."

Song Wei withdrew his gaze, "The emperor's words are serious, I am just afraid that I will be out for too long, and my parents, wives and children at home will worry."

Emperor Guangxi also ordered another little eunuch, "Go to the Song Mansion to report, and say that I have something to talk to Mr. Song in the palace at night, and I will go back later."

The little father-in-law led the order to leave the Qianqing Palace.

"Now you can play chess with peace of mind, right?" Emperor Guangxi was afraid that something would happen to him again.

Song Wei nodded, "Please, Your Majesty."

Emperor Guangxi unceremoniously surrendered first.

After a tense confrontation, it ended in a draw again.

If winning the first game is luck and the second game is a draw, then the third game is strength.

Emperor Guangxi looked at Song Wei with unfriendly eyes, and wanted to beat him up, "Is this what you call knowing a little bit?"

Song Wei did not admit that he was guilty, "Weichen's chess skills were learned in the Imperial College. His mentor once said that the way of Go is profound and profound, and can tell the circle of heaven and earth, and the balance of yin and yang, five elements and yin and yang. There is nothing wrong with saying that you know a thing or two if you can’t learn the tip of the iceberg.”

After talking for a long time, it is not that Song Wei played a draw with the emperor who is known as "there is no opponent in the court and the opposition" with his "knowledge a little bit" chess skills.

This knife stabbed too hard.

Zhao Xi glanced at the way his father was so enraged that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Seeing a new round of fighting between the ruler and the subject on the chessboard, Zhao Xi asked the little eunuch who was beside Hou to go to Yutang Palace to invite Song Yuanbao over.

……

According to the previous plan, Zhao Xi would accompany the emperor on his journey to the south of the Yangtze River tomorrow. Song Yuanbao didn't want to go. He already had half a month's vacation and was packing up his things to go home. The eunuch from Qing Palace might come to invite him.

"Master Song, Your Highness wants you to go to Qianqing Palace."

Song Yuanbao was stunned, "Did he say anything?"

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "Master Song is playing chess with the emperor, and His Royal Highness is watching the game!"

When the little eunuch said this, Song Yuanbao probably understood that it was probably because Emperor Guangxi was on par with his father in chess, and His Royal Highness wanted him to join in the fun.

Song Yuanbao simply tidied himself up and followed his little father-in-law to Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the two players who were playing chess, each holding a piece, lost in thought.

Knowing that the emperor should not be disturbed at such a time, Song Yuanbao only saluted Zhao Xi softly.

Zhao Xi pointed the direction of the chessboard with his chin, and asked him, "Can you understand?"

Song Yuanbao shook his head without even looking at it, "My chess skills are far behind my father's."

When he was in the country, Song Yuanbao basically had no experience with Go, and when he came to the capital, he only learned superficially from his father. After entering the Imperial College, the school officials there had professors, but he stayed for a short time, not long. So he entered the palace and served as the eldest prince's companion.

There is also a gentleman in Shangshufang who teaches Go, but every time he plays against Zhao Xi, even if the opponent has given way, and he is allowed to regret the game, he always loses in the end.

Song Yuanbao used to like to show off, but after entering the palace, he was crushed everywhere by the eldest prince. He gradually learned the rules, and no longer paid so much attention to winning or losing—well, in fact, he really wanted to stand up, but the opponent was too good. As soon as it is turned over a little bit, it will be photographed back and continue to stick to the pan.

Zhao Xi signaled him, "I won't take a good look at it. Today's few games of chess are very knowledgeable. After you watch it, we will play against each other another day."

Which time did Song Yuanbao say that I must not lose to you?
In front of a ruthless person like Zhao Xi, he was willing to admit defeat.

After Zhao Xi smiled lightly, his eyes fell back to the chessboard.

No one spoke anymore, and the hall fell into silence, except for the crisp sound of jade chess pieces falling on the chessboard occasionally.

Before long, the pace of chess is getting slower and slower.

Apparently, these two players have already roughly figured out the opponent's routine after several games of chess, and they dare not make random moves.

The sky outside completely darkened, and the lights were gradually turned on, illuminating the entire hall and even the entire imperial city in splendor.

The game in the emperor's bedroom is still going on.

This game of chess has been played for a long time, and it has been an hour since the winner was decided.

In the end, Song Wei wins.

After playing so many games back and forth, even if Emperor Guangxi didn't want to admit defeat, he had to admit that Song Wei's chess strength was extraordinary, and he had met his opponent today.

Putting the black and white chess pieces back together, Song Wei looked at Emperor Guangxi with a smile, "Since the humble minister won by luck, should the emperor honor his promise?"

Emperor Guangxi only wanted to win him a game to save face, but he didn't think carefully about Song Wei's request. Now he realized it later and asked him, "Do I have to ask for the painting of the Queen Mother? I also have a lot of it. Calligraphy and painting, can't you change one?"

Song Wei didn't make any concessions, "I prefer Mr. Liu's paintings, and I hope the emperor can make it happen."

Emperor Guangxi waved his hand, "I would like to gamble and admit defeat. I am not such a petty person, but it is getting late today, and the queen mother has already rested, so it is inconvenient for me to bother you. I will get the painting another day, and I will fulfill my promise. how?"

Song Wei had no objection, "As long as the emperor doesn't forget about it, that's fine."

Emperor Guangxi was also tired, "Come here, send Song Hanlin out of the palace."

Without waiting for the little eunuch to come forward, Zhao Xi first said: "Father, my son, will you send Master Song out of the palace?"

Song Wei took a quick look at Zhao Xi, then lowered his eyes, "I don't dare to be a humble minister."

Zhao Xi said calmly: "It's been a long time since I've seen someone whose chess skills are comparable to my father's. I just want to ask you for advice along the way."
