Actually, Bai Chuxiao's chess skills are not that bad. Sometimes the chessboard is like a battlefield, where tactics and people's hearts are counted. Bai Chuxiao is well-read in military books and good at strategy, so naturally she is not that bad. It's just that she always lost to her grandfather in Dingzhou before, which hit her confidence, so she rarely showed off her skills.

Now, looking at the chess pieces being eaten by the old man on the opposite side while chatting and laughing, Bai Chuxiao was secretly shocked. The person who could make the Zhao family the richest man was naturally not an ordinary person. He was indeed an old fox.

Mr. Zhao said softly, "Your chess skills are not bad, but you are not focused. How can you win?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled awkwardly. She really didn't mean it. After all, she was still thinking about going to Chunfeng Pavilion.

"Mr. Zhao is an excellent chess player. Zui An admires him and admits he is better than him."

Mr. Zhao took back the chess piece and said with a faint smile, "Come on, there's no need to say such flattering words in front of me."

Then he turned to Zhao Sifang and said, "Sifang, you are already quite old now, isn't it time to think about your life-long affairs?"

Zhao Sifang was startled when he heard this. According to his age, he should get married, but he had never thought about it. He remembered that since he met the man in front of him a few years ago... he seemed... But he knew that Zui An only treated him as a brother and a friend, so he didn't think about it any further and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, your grandson still wants to take good care of the Zhao family's business first, and let's talk about marriage later."

Mr. Zhao sighed and said, "Forget it, you decide for yourself. I can't control you anymore."

He was not worried about the Zhao family now. The only thing he was worried about was the marriage of his grandson and granddaughter. Unfortunately, these two made him worry. His grandson had never brought any friends to see him. He had been in the martial arts world for many years. Today, he saw Su Zuian at first sight and saw that she was clearly a woman. However, he was unwilling to reveal it.

Then he looked at Bai Chuxiao and said kindly, "Zui'an, come to the Zhao family when you are free. If you don't mind, you can come and play chess with me, an old man. Since you have something to do today, go first. You don't have to accompany me, an old man."

Bai Chuxiao quickly agreed, but she didn't know what Mr. Zhao was thinking. When she thought of Zhao Xiner's eyes, she was afraid that she would disappoint the kindness of the old man in front of her. She might as well not come to the Zhao Mansion in the future...

Zhao Sifang, who was elegant in red, walked towards Chunfeng Pavilion with Su Zuian, a handsome young official in white. Along the way, they attracted the attention of many young ladies.

Zhao Sifang had an exaggerated expression, "Zui'an, come on, you actually dragged me to visit a brothel"

Bai Chuxiao curled her lips and said, "Stop pretending. I don't believe you haven't been here before."

When he reached the door, Aunt Xu from Chunfeng Pavilion hurried over and said, "Hey, Mr. Zhao, what brings you here today? You haven't been here for a while."

Zhao Sifang pointed at Bai Chuxiao and said, "Bring me, little brother Su, to see the world today."

Mother Xu looked at Bai Chuxiao, who was dressed in white and looked very handsome, and smiled. "Oh, you are indeed Mr. Zhao's friend. Look at how handsome Mr. Su is. How can those girls take their eyes off him when he enters?"

Bai Chuxiao waved her folding fan with a smile on her face, not at all like it was her first time in a brothel, "Okay, Madam Xu, I'm here to see a beauty today."

Mother Xu was surprised. Although Mr. Su looked young, his behavior showed that he had been in many brothels. She would have to serve him well in the future. He looked like a wealthy man.

So he quickly welcomed the person in and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, Mr. Su is right. I wonder if the two gentlemen want to see any girls today."

Zhao Sifang raised his lips and said, "Mother Xu, of course, we should call Miss Zi Yan over."

Zi Yan is the top prostitute in Chunfeng Pavilion. She is very famous and is well-known in the capital and the surrounding areas.

Mother Xu quickly explained, "Mr. Zhao, that's unfortunate. Several distinguished guests came today, and Zi Yan went to accompany them."

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said nothing. She knew what these distinguished guests were. Zhao Sifang was puzzled and raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Can Madam Xu tell me something?"

Mother Xu then leaned over to Zhao Sifang's ear and whispered, "It's the Crown Prince, the King of Xiang, the King of Qi, and the King of Yan."

Hearing this, Zhao Sifang looked at Bai Chuxiao with interest, and then said, "Nothing, go and inform them, they will meet with me."

Mother Xu immediately responded and went to report it.

Zhao Sifang then joked, "Zui'an... Don't worry, we are keeping an eye on him today, and he won't dare to do anything to let you down, otherwise I..."

Bai Chuxiao looked up at him and curled her lips, "Brother Sifang, I'm glad you said that. Why don't you tell me what you would do..."

Zhao Sifang immediately deflated, "Brother... I will cut off his source of income for you, making him a pauper, and letting him beg on the street in the future..."

Bai Chuxiao rolled her eyes at him as if he were a fool.

Mother Xu quickly came over happily and said, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Su, please come this way."

There was a big private room on the second floor, but it was very lively. The Crown Prince, King Xiang, King Qi and King Yan were all there. The courtesan Zi Yan was sitting in the room playing the piano, and there were a bunch of girls dancing behind her.

Seeing them come in, it was King Xiang who spoke first, "Brother Sifang, how are you? Come and sit down."

Zhao Sifang chuckled, "Hello, Your Highnesses. Today is the first time for me, Brother Su, to come here. I want to meet Miss Zi Yan. I hope Your Highnesses don't mind."

The prince also smiled and said, "Brother Sifang, you are too polite. Since he is your friend, he is naturally our friend as well."

In fact, among these princes, except Chu Tianling, this was the first time for them to come to the brothel openly. I don't know why they all gathered here today.

Chu Tianling snorted coldly but said nothing. These two brothers were good at flattering him. He didn't know when they became friends with Zhao Sifang.

Chu Tianze was holding a wine glass, and he felt that this young brother Su looked familiar. He was with Zhao Sifang, so he had some guesses in his mind but was not sure. He smiled and asked, "Brother Sifang, I have never seen this friend of yours before. Young Master Su is very handsome. I wonder which family he is from. I also want to meet you and make friends with you."

The Crown Prince and the King of Xiang and the King of Qi were somewhat suspicious. Their seventh brother never made friends with anyone easily. Apart from the one from the Yu family, he had no other friends in the capital. Even his brothers had never been well-mannered by him. But now he was so friendly to a stranger. So they all looked at this Master Su, wanting to see what was different.

Bai Chuxiao waved her folding fan, neither humble nor overbearing, "I am Su Zuian, I have come to see several of your highnesses. Zuian came from Jiangnan and is new to Kyoto, so I wanted to meet the famous Miss Zi Yan."

Chu Tianze took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Brother Zui'an, you are too polite. Why don't you come over here and sit down?"

Zhao Sifang and Bai Chuxiao found a seat next to King Yan.

Chu Tianze sneered, "Zi Yan, so many people are here for you today, you have to perform well."

Zi Yan smiled sweetly, "Yes, I am so lucky to meet so many princes today, so I will show my ugliness today."
