I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 239 Playing Chess in the Imperial Garden

When Concubine Yi heard what the Ninth Concubine said and looked at the indescribable expression on her face, she became curious and couldn't help but ask what was going on.

The Ninth Lady then told Concubine Yi everything that had happened on the farm some time ago. Even Concubine Yi, who had lived in the deep palace for so many years, couldn't help but envy Yunyan and sighed at her good life!

Even the Fifth Lady's eyes were filled with envy. Since she herself was not liked by the Fifth Master, she had to please her husband. Unfortunately, no matter what she did, she could not please the Fifth Master. Later, she gradually got used to it and stopped struggling in vain!

It's just that no matter whether it's the Fifth Lady, the Ninth Lady, or the Concubine Yi, they were all young once, and they all fantasized about what their other half would be like in their boudoirs. They also imagined what it would be like to be loved by only one person, but unfortunately, dreams would be shattered!

Yunyan and Concubine Liang had a pleasant meal in the Empress Dowager's palace. After the meal, the Empress Dowager did not say much about Yunyan and Concubine Liang!

The Queen Mother looked at the gradually disappearing figures of Yunyan and Concubine Liang. She couldn't help but sigh and said with a sad face: "She is wronged...!"

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she slowly stood up, and with the help of her confidants, she went into the inner room to rest!

The confidant of the Queen Mother did not answer her words, but just patted her hand gently. People around the Queen Mother knew who the Queen Mother was referring to when she said she was wronged.

Even they felt wronged. If the Empress Dowager was still alive, how could Concubine Liang end up like this? But the Empress Dowager was concerned about Kangxi and could not openly treat Liang Fei well. She could only secretly order people to take good care of Concubine Zhao and Gu Liang and their mother and son, and not let anyone bully them. But they didn't expect that so many things happened in places they couldn't see!

Yunyan walked along the path holding Concubine Liang's arm. Seeing Concubine Liang's silence, she knew that she was not in a good mood. Although Yunyan didn't know why Concubine Liang was unhappy, she didn't ask!

Because Yunyan feels that everyone has things that cannot be said, so why bother to get to the bottom of it!

Concubine Liang and Yunyan returned to Concubine Liang's palace. Concubine Liang did not keep Yunyan for long. She used the excuse of taking a nap and let Yunyan leave the palace early!

Concubine Liang knew that Yunyan was not happy to stay in the palace, so she usually would not keep Yunyan for long!

Yunyan left the palace and chose the road that passed through the Imperial Garden. Unfortunately, because it was winter, there were not many flowers in the Imperial Garden!

Yunyan had not walked for long when suddenly a little eunuch ran up to her!

The young eunuch said, "I greet the Eighth Lady. May the Eighth Lady be blessed. The Eighth Lady, the Emperor invites you!"

Yunyan's brows furrowed instantly, but he did not embarrass the young eunuch. Instead, he said with a hint of indifference: "Get up!"

The young eunuch said, "Thank you, Eighth Lady!"

Yunyan: "Well..., lead the way!"

Soon, the eunuch led Yunyan around the Imperial Garden and saw Kangxi in a small pavilion by the lake! Kangxi was playing chess alone, with Liang Jiugong alone by his side.

Yunyan hesitated for a moment, but quickly reacted and did a half-squat salute!

Yunyan: "Yunyan greets the Emperor. I wonder what the Emperor wants to talk to Yunyan about?"

Kangxi, who was playing chess, heard Yunyan's cold voice, but did not blame Yunyan for being too cold. Instead, he still had a gentle smile on his face and said, "Hurry up and get up. It's just right for you to play chess with me!"

Yunyan stood up straight without hesitation, looking at the chess in front of Kangxi, and complained in her heart that Kangxi was stupid. Why play chess in this pavilion with wind blowing in from all sides when it was so cold?

These were just Yunyan's fleeting thoughts. Even though he cursed Kangxi in his heart, he didn't show any sign on his face. He still had that cold look on his face!

Yunyan said coldly: "Yunyan doesn't know how to play chess, and I'm afraid she lacks the temperament of the emperor, so the emperor should find someone else!"

Liang Jiugong, who was standing aside, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and felt that this Eighth Lady was even colder than the cold wind in winter! I always thought that the Fourth Master was cold enough, but I didn't expect this one to be even colder. I really don't understand how the gentle Eighth Master can endure it!

Kangxi waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "No Go!"

Yunyan was still unwilling. She wrapped herself tightly, just because she didn't want to be blown by the cold wind. Yunyan, if she hadn't been thinking about waiting for Lao Ba to leave the palace together, she would have left the palace long ago. Why would she be blowing the cold wind in this imperial garden!

Yunyan: "My hands are cold...!"

The corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched slightly. He was about to get angry, but after hearing what Yunyan said, he couldn't get angry anymore. It turned out that he was still as spoiled as when he was a child!

Kangxi instantly gave Liang Jiugong a look, and Liang Jiugong quickly took action. He asked people to bring over a few braziers and also made a delicate hand warmer. Even the cushion on the stool was thick, so Yunyan would not feel cold at all!

All this happened in just a few minutes. Yunyan watched it all in silence, knowing that he had to play this game. Yunyan took the hand warmer handed to him by Liang Jiugong and sat down with a reluctant look!

Kangxi and Yunyan started playing chess, but the more they played, the angrier Yunyan became, because he was really not good at chess, no matter if it was Go or any other chess? As long as it was chess, she couldn't beat others!

Just when Yunyan was about to stop working, a noisy sound was heard not far away. Yunyan looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw the prince and his group. Even Lao Ba was among them!

Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw Lao Ba, thinking that the game of chess could finally be over. After playing one game after another, it was really enough!

Yunyan knows that she is not very good at chess, but she doesn’t want others to remind her that she is not good at chess. Even if she is a bad chess player, she doesn’t want others to seek attention from her!

Kangxi simply nodded in response to the prince's greetings, and said nothing more. Instead, he smiled and said to Yunyan, "Hurry up and get off! It's your turn now!"

Yunyan stared at the chess pieces on the chessboard. He didn't understand. He was obviously playing Go very seriously. It was okay that she couldn't beat Go, but why couldn't she even beat Gobang?

Yunyan looked expressionlessly at Kangxi, who was smiling exaggeratedly, and stood up in anger, which frightened the prince and the others. But they didn't expect that Yunyan's next move would be beyond their expectations.
