Tyrant, calm down

Chapter 730 Beauty Scheming (15)

Just like before, Shen Jingshu was arranged to live in Fengyu Palace, which was within a hundred meters away from Longxiang Palace where Xuanyuanjing lived.

Shen Jingshu didn't have any objection to this, and he didn't bother to guess what Xuanyuanjing's intentions were in this arrangement.

That person's city is very deep, and it's not easy for ordinary people like her to guess, why should she waste this effort?
At night, there was nothing to do, and Shen Jingshu was about to ask the maid to fetch water to wash and sleep, but someone from the palace suddenly came to send a message.

"Your Majesty, the Lord invites you to go over."

She was stunned for a moment, knowing that she couldn't refuse, so she didn't bother to refuse, asked the maid to fetch the cloak and put it on, and followed the eunuch to Longxiang Palace.

Longxiang Palace was very quiet, only wisps of light smoke slowly swayed from the stove.

Xuanyuan Jing was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, drinking tea gracefully, with a chessboard in front of him.

Looking at the situation, did Xuanyuanjing ask her to play chess?
Xuanyuanjing's next words confirmed the guess in her heart.

"Can you play chess?"

"No, never learned."

She answered calmly and walked towards Xuanyuan mirror calmly.

"However, I do know a different way to play. If the king is interested, how about a few rounds?"

"What kind of alternative method?" Xuanyuan Mirror didn't even hesitate for a moment.

She walked across to Xuanyuan Mirror, took off her shoes, and sat down cross-legged opposite him very naturally.

"It's very simple. Whoever connects five chess pieces in a straight line wins. How about it? Is the king interested?"

Xuanyuan Jing put down the teacup and tapped her chin lightly.

"bring it on."

"That's good, the king please first."

Xuanyuan Jing looked up at her, then picked up the sunspot in front of him, and dropped a piece in the middle of the chessboard.

She then picked up a white piece and landed it next to the black piece.

The white pieces are gentle and the black pieces are deep. On the criss-cross chessboard, the two colors are so bright and contrastingly strong, just like the two people in white skirts and black robes.

However, the black and white colors with such strong contrast appear so harmonious on the chessboard, just like the two people who lower their heads and concentrate on playing chess at this moment.

The eunuchs standing beside them were all startled by the strange atmosphere at this moment, and couldn't help raising their eyes to look at the two secretly, with a strange light flashing in their eyes.

With this attitude, the lord intends to pamper the queen?
Unsurprisingly, Shen Jingshu won the first two rounds with ease.

But from the third round, the situation changed. Every time she designed a trap, Xuanyuan Jing could see through it at a glance and cut off her tricks.

She frowned, and looked at the opposite person with some dissatisfaction.

This person's brain is indeed much smarter than Mingyue and Mingzhu's, and he has learned backgammon so well in only two games.

It takes a few more games, isn't it better than her?

When she frowned and cursed, Xuanyuan Jing suddenly said faintly: "Who taught you this kind of method?"

She said "ah", stared at Xuanyuanjing's face for a while, but failed to see the name, and lied casually: "Oh, the two maids who served me taught me that."

Then she heard Xuanyuan Jing ask again: "How long have you learned?"

"Uh... I'll do the math..." She pretended to do the math, and said, "It's only a few months."

"You can learn this level in a few months, it seems that you are not stupid."

She was full of question marks.

What do these words mean?
Are you praising her for being smart, or calling her stupid?

Why did she think that he was calling her stupid?

Is there such a way to beat around the bush and call others stupid?
