A person’s character can be seen from the way he plays chess.

Through this in-depth game of chess, Shen Zhiyao and Bo Muxi got to know him at a deeper level.

Bo Muxi plays chess in a cold way. Every move is carefully calculated and deduced, and every move must be the best solution. It can be seen that this man is extremely cold-blooded and extremely good at calculating.

At this moment, Bo Muxi was looking at Shen Zhiyao with cold eyes. There was no love in her at all, only wariness and suspicion.

Shen Zhiyao looked back at Bo Muxi boldly, without the slightest dodging or timidity. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were crystal clear and full of affection, as if she was completely unaware of the suspicion in Bo Muxi's eyes, and she was as affectionate and focused as ever.

The air became stagnant, and the two looked at each other and fell into silence for a while. The atmosphere seemed tense and depressing.

Qiuyue, Zhe Ni and Lin En didn't even dare to breathe.

They were apparently getting along very well just now, but suddenly it became like this. They felt like they were caught in a storm for no reason and could be baptized by it at any time.

After a long time, Bo Muxi's expression finally softened a little, and Shen Zhiyao finally broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? You look so strange today! Are you too tired? It's all my fault. You've been dealing with government affairs for so long, and I'm still pestering you to play chess..."

Shen Zhiyao seemed to be really blaming herself, her eyes were red, and even her charming voice was trembling a little.

Shen Zhiyao is really good at acting and at manipulating people's hearts. Just now, when she was being looked at with suspicion by Bo Muxi, she showed no fear at all. But now, when she should be blaming herself, her eyes turn red. She is really amazing.

Sure enough, when Bo Muxi saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and the few remaining doubts and suspicions also dissipated.

Bo Muxi realized that he might have been too suspicious and had wronged Shen Zhiyao.

The little concubine usually seems to be smart, but she only knows how to play around. How can a girl living in the deep palace understand such complicated affairs of the court?

Bo Muxi comforted her softly, "My beloved, I just thought of some troubles again. It has nothing to do with you. It's my problem. Please don't worry too much!"

Shen Zhiyao sneered in her heart when she heard him talking nonsense and pretending to be gentle, but when she saw his handsome and innocent look, she was happy to play "opposite" with him.

Shen Zhiyao smiled, and it seemed that all her self-blame had disappeared with his explanation. She looked like she was willing to believe Bo Muxi wholeheartedly.

Seeing her innocent look, Bo Muxi couldn't help but feel guilty and regretful. He gently held Shen Zhiyao's hand and said affectionately, "I really want to reward you this time and not save it anymore."

Shen Zhiyao rolled her eyes in her heart and thought: As long as you stop being suspicious of me and let me live a peaceful life, I will be thankful!

Shen Zhiyao smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curved, and said: "Okay, then I will wait for the reward. However, I am greedy, so Your Majesty, please don't treat me casually."

"You are so greedy." Bo Muxi smiled and held the little concubine in his arms.

Bo Muxi was not afraid of the greed of concubines. Those who had no desires and were clear about the big picture were the real scary ones. On the contrary, he liked concubines like these who were not thoughtful and only wanted to be favored.

The two hugged each other tightly, and the estrangement just now disappeared without a trace as if in a dream.

Lin En and the others breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor's mood was unpredictable, which made things difficult for Empress Jin Wanyi. Who could easily endure it?

Shen Zhiyao maliciously drew circles on Bo Muxi's chest with her slender fingertips, making Bo Muxi feel itchy.

"But to be honest, I was able to solve the doubts that have troubled me for a long time, all thanks to my beloved concubine!" Bo Muxi sighed.

"Your Majesty, that's not right. I was just being willful and forced you to play a few games of chess with me. To be honest, your Majesty is really amazing. He can comprehend such profound things just by playing chess. I can't even understand what you are saying!"

Shen Zhiyao was acting coquettishly and flattering others at the same time.

Bo Muxi was very pleased with her praise and felt that everything was his own achievement. He was indeed worthy of being an emperor!

Shen Zhiyao thought maliciously that this trick really worked. No matter how cold-blooded, rational and ruthless the emperor was, he could not escape his arrogance.

After being affectionate for a while, Shen Zhiyao was no longer reserved. She hooked Bo Muxi's sleeve seductively and walked into the inner room.

So what if she lost the game on the chessboard? This time, she might not lose in the "fierce battle" on the couch!

Bo Muxi hadn't had a "vigorous battle" for a long time, and he was at the age of full vigor, so how could he withstand such teasing? He pretended to be reserved for a while, and then couldn't wait to roll onto the couch with the little concubine.

This "fierce battle" lasted for several hours. When the battle stopped, both of them looked quite embarrassed.

Shen Zhiyao asked someone to come in and clean up. After finally lying back on the clean couch, Shen Zhiyao was already extremely sleepy.

But Bo Muxi was still too excited to sleep, and kept talking to Shen Zhiyao.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhiyao was so sleepy that she could only give a perfunctory reply that was incoherent.

Although Bo Muxi was a little disappointed, he saw that she was indeed very tired, so he had to hold her in his arms and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Shen Zhiyao opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that Bo Muxi was still lying on the couch, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

Shen Zhiyao got up quietly to wash up, but unexpectedly woke up Bo Muxi. It turned out that this man was very guarded when sleeping and was easily awakened.

Bo Muxi lazily lay on the couch, not even trying to get up. He asked in a hoarse voice, "My beloved concubine, you got up so early, are you going to Fengyi Palace to pay your respects?"

There was a hint of resentment in Bo Muxi's voice, and he was obviously not satisfied.

"If the emperor does not have other arrangements for the morning court today, then I will not go. I will ask for leave from the empress. I am sure the empress will not blame me." Shen Zhiyao quickly changed her words.

Bo Muxi is a very obedient person, so Shen Zhiyao naturally knows how to coax him.

Bo Muxi pursed his lips but said nothing.

Shen Zhiyao was inspired and immediately sent Chu An to Fengyi Palace to ask for leave.

"I will arrange breakfast now. I will not do anything today. I will focus on accompanying Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make arrangements." Shen Zhiyao spoke softly and seemed very well-behaved.

Seeing that she was so considerate, Bo Muxi smiled with satisfaction.

Although he still said nothing, his expression didn't look so gloomy anymore and he was smiling.

Shen Zhiyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Bo Muxi was a grown man, but why did she have to work so hard to coax him sometimes? It was justified!

The emperor is here today, so the imperial kitchen dares not be negligent and prepares a very sumptuous breakfast.

Shen Zhiyao also took advantage of the situation and ate a lot without hesitation.

After finishing his meal, Bo Muxi seemed to be in a better mood. He had specially given himself a day off today, for something else.

He wanted to summon a group of ministers individually to discuss the implementation of the "Enfeoffment Order".

Of course, he also intended to take revenge on the little concubine for ignoring him last night, so he refused to let her go to pay her respects to the queen on time.

Bo Muxi curled his lips and smiled mischievously, looking a bit cool and handsome.

"My beloved, I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you any longer. Go and do your own thing!"

After saying this, he walked away with a smug look on his face and a smile.

After seeing the emperor off, Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but complain in her heart that the emperor was really mean and deliberately delayed her from paying her respects in Fengyi Palace.

The emperor had neglected the harem for a long time, and came to Cuiweixuan on the first day of his restoration of favor. Coincidentally, she did not go to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects the next day. Wasn't this intentional to make him hate her?
