The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

"Did little girl Han Lian meet Seventh Princess?" The empress dowager was also surprised as she asked. His tone was calm and collected. It was obvious that he was very dependent on this Han Lian.

The Heaven Gate disciple really did have some tricks up his sleeve. He was able to get the young master of the Nalan Clan to agree to enter the Heaven Gate within a short period of time, and even hide it from his family. Now she could make the Empress Dowager rely on her so much in such a short time.

It was impossible for the Heaven Gate to coexist with the royal family. Therefore, if this Han Lian was truly from the Heaven Gate, then it would be impossible for her to reveal her identity. Under such circumstances, to have such a method, it was naturally admirable.

When the white-clothed woman heard the empress dowager's question, she shook her head and said, "In reply to Your Highness, this servant has never seen Seventh Princess before. It's just that I thought she looked kind with one glance."

"I presume it's because this servant likes the appearance of the princess consort."

Hearing this, the empress dowager nodded in relief. "Since that's the case, then are you willing to play a match with Seventh Imperial Concubine?"

"I couldn't ask for more." As Han Lian spoke, her gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue as though she was provoking her.

Mu Ru Yue looked at the girl as well.

"Esteemed wangfei, please show mercy and allow this little girl a bit. "This little girl is by the empress dowager's side. Naturally, she wants to win and make esteemed empress dowager happy." As the woman spoke, someone brought up the chessboard.

Mu Ru Yue looked at the chessboard and replied coldly, "It's a pity that there's only victory and defeat on the chessboard. As for me, I'm very concerned about winning or losing. "Therefore, let's rely on our ability." As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she sat down.

Han Lian also sat down, just like her. However, when she picked up the chess piece, she said: "Sometimes, too much emphasis is placed on winning or losing, and you will only end up with a crushing defeat."

"But if they don't even care about the outcome, wouldn't they be deprived of the opportunity to fight for it? If we don't compete, how can we be fortunate? " Mu Ru Yue took up the chessboard without any hesitation.

The two of them dropped the chess pieces at the same time. The two chess pieces in Mu Ru Yue's hand landed in the center of the room.

He pushed the woman's chess piece to the side.

In the Falling Moon Empire, if one was not sure if they should start first with a chess game, the rules dictated that each person should play two chess pieces. Whoever played the chess piece in the middle would start with the first move.

"It looks like I won." Mu Ru Yue smiled.

"Princess, please make the first move." The woman said.

Mu Ru Yue picked up the two chess pieces and said calmly, "Although I don't agree with what you have to say, I like to play behind the scenes."

"May I know?" The woman asked curiously.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she smiled. "That's because only by doing this can we make the opponent wholeheartedly submit to us."

"Arrogant." The two words came out of the woman's mouth. Then he placed Bai Zi in the middle. Mu Ru Yue followed him calmly.

"If one is determined to win or lose, one should not retreat. "The wangfei won, but then gave in. In Han Lian's opinion, this is an act that doesn't deserve to be played." The woman's cold voice rang out again.

Mu Ru Yue didn't get angry. "I'll say that after you win. It won't be too late."

The two of them exchanged words. Both of them wanted to gain the upper hand in front of the other. However, they were unable to gain anything from each other.

Very quickly, the chess board was filled with chess pieces. However, this chess piece was frozen in place. That was because she was not allowed to move, and the woman in front of her was the same.

Until now, it was still the first time that Mu Ru Yue had seen a battle of attrition. What she liked more was a perfect victory.

The way this woman played chess was too bizarre.

The chess piece had already fallen into a state of anxiety. However, compared to Mu Ru Yue's calmness, this cold woman frowned.

She thought about what Mu Ru Yue had just said.

Do I have to convince others of my defeat? Han Lian stared at the chessboard in front of him. After a long while, he slowly rose to his feet and spoke to the empress dowager. "Esteemed empress dowager, Han Lian was incompetent and failed to win." Seventh Princess' chess skills were indeed outstanding. This servant has already tried her best.

"But in the end, it was just one move away."

Although the woman was a bit unwilling, when she admitted her wrongs, she did it quickly. Mu Ru Yue didn't expect this person, who had been arguing back then, to admit defeat so easily.

Besides, in her eyes, if Han Lian continued to play chess, she might not lose to her. But now, Han Lian was voluntarily admitting defeat. This was truly unimaginable.

The empress dowager had never thought that this girl she had relied on for so many days would actually lose in chess to someone she didn't see as worthy. He could not help but say in displeasure, "Since you know that you are lacking, you should work even harder in the future. Don't run around, but instead study chess at This Dowager's place.

If you lose the next time, this one will not only punish you, but also behead you. " The empress dowager said unkindly.

The woman blessed herself and seemed to accept this outcome before quietly withdrawing.

If one were to say that Mu Ru Yue had won, the happiest person would undoubtedly be Princess Wuyou. As a princess, whether it was for herself or for her mother's concubine, she didn't wish to allow a maid to overstep her boundaries here.

She could not say that all men were equal. At the very least, she couldn't do so in front of outsiders. If she had really gone out of her way to repent today, there would be some blind people coming tomorrow to grind the two of them.

The empress dowager's promise before, as well as Mu Ru Yue's victory at this moment, all served as fuel in a snowstorm.

"Esteemed empress dowager, since I've won, what happened to the previous agreement?"

"This Dowager will naturally keep her word. The matter of repentance today will save me the worry." The empress dowager said indifferently. She recited the beads in her hands a little faster as if she was anxious.

"Thank you, Royal Grandmother." Princess Wuyou stood up and said.

When the empress dowager heard this, she nodded as if she had thought of something. Suddenly, she said warmly, "Wuyou, this one remembers that you are also going to marry the young master of the Qin family."

When these words were spoken, Princess Wuyou's face turned slightly pale. However, she still answered: "It was royal father's order in reply to royal grandmother's words."

"Your Majesty's order is quite ridiculous. You're just a young boy with golden branches and jade leaves. If I go alone, who knows what kind of trouble I might cause." This is why I ask the emperor to let the butterfly girl accompany you.

When we arrive at the Qin family, you will be the big one and she the little one. Don't insult her. Otherwise, this one will not be allowed to! " As the empress dowager spoke, her loving gaze fell upon Princess Dian Xiang.

If she didn't know, she would really think how much she loved Princess Die Xiang.

But in fact?

This was just a pawn the empress dowager used to punish Princess Wuyou and to consolidate her rights. It was no wonder that Princess Die Xiang wanted to marry Feng Chen.

In her eyes, Feng Chen was probably the best person to help her escape from the vortex of despair, right? As Mu Ru Yue thought about this, she couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Royal Grandmother, your granddaughter will definitely not disappoint you." Princess Wuyou squeezed out these words through her gritted teeth, yet she still forced a smile on her face. She was afraid that the Empress Dowager would see through him.

Seeing that Princess Wuyou was so tactful, the empress dowager nodded her head in satisfaction. "That's more like it. According to what I've said, the palace's atmosphere is far worse than mine back then."

If it were in the past, you little girls would have gone back to learning the rules. " Her Majesty said.

When everyone heard this, they all became silent.

As he spoke, he saw the door open. The scent of sandalwood wafted in. Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. He looked towards the door and heard a court lady shouting, "The Imperial Advisor is here!"

Compared to when he was outside, everyone was chasing after him. In this palace, everyone seemed to be a lot more reserved. The empress dowager did not even move.

It was as if he didn't hear her. Princess Yun Rou was also tasting the tea. It was unknown what Princess Die Xiang and Murong Xi were thinking.

The only one who was excited was probably Princess Wuyou. She believed in fate the most, and she valued the State Grandmaster the most. If it wasn't for Princess Wuyou, Mu Ru Yue wouldn't have known this person.

At this moment, a man clad in a light purple robe embroidered with bamboo leaves could be seen. His long hair was tied up in a bun, giving him a sense of desolation.

He walked over and said to the empress dowager, "I pay my respects to the empress dowager."
