After dinner, it was still early and he couldn't fall asleep for the time being. Qi Yejing was bored, so he pulled Yun Zhining to play chess.

Many years later, he recalled this day and felt very regretful.

If he could do it again, he would never ask Yun Zhining to play chess, because her chess skills were really, really bad.

Not only is she not good, but her chess ethics are also very bad. She often regrets her moves and is also shameless. If Qi Yejing plays a game of chess with her, he will live ten years less.

But now he doesn't know about Yun Zhining's evil deeds.

The chessboard was set up, Yun Zhining held the white pieces and Qi Yejing held the black pieces, and the two began to play chess.

Although Qi Yejing was not favored, he was a prince after all, and he had to learn the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and the six arts of a gentleman. Yun Zhining was just an unfavored concubine's daughter, and even her daily food, clothing, housing and transportation could not be guaranteed, let alone learning other things.

Although her soul wandered for a long time after her death in her previous life and she saw a lot of things, she had to enter the palace as soon as she was reborn and had no time to study at all.

Moreover, she had only been in the palace for a little over a year. Even if she studied every day, she could not compare with those noble ladies who came from aristocratic families and had been trained in various ways since childhood, not to mention Qi Yejing who was the emperor.

Qi Yejing also understood Yun Zhining's situation, so he naturally wouldn't bother with her.

"It's okay, let's play another game. This time I'll teach you step by step. You're so smart, you'll definitely be able to learn it."

Yun Zhining nodded obediently and opened another plate.

This time, Qi Yejing played chess very slowly, and he explained each move to her in detail and taught her how to break the chess pieces. Yun Zhining listened very carefully and benefited a lot.

After teaching her three games, Qi Yejing thought that she had understood and known the basic knowledge, so he started playing chess with her.

But theory is one thing, and reality is another. Yun Zhining understood what she heard, but when she played chess, her mind went blank and she completely forgot what she had just learned. She could only play chess based on instinct.

Qi Yejing was almost pissed off by her.

"I never understood why you could play with Feng'er before, but now I finally understand. Both of your brains are structured in the same way. I've told you the same thing at least ten times, but you still can't remember it."

"You, you really want to piss me off to death!"

Yun Zhining blinked and tears fell instantly.

"I know I'm stupid and unworthy of playing chess with the emperor. Forget it. I'll ask Qingzhu to put away the chess pieces and not play anymore."

Seeing her crying, Qi Yejing realized belatedly that his tone was a bit harsh.

She was born in a family like that and was not welcomed since childhood, so she certainly didn't learn much. Take it slow, there is no rush. There are still decades left, and he will definitely be able to teach her.

After a few psychological hints, Qi Yejing finally calmed down.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's my fault. I forgot your actual situation and was too strict with you. It's okay. Take your time. I believe you will get better and better."

Yun Zhining wiped away her tears and spoke in a crying voice.

"really?"

"Your Majesty, don't you think I'm stupid?"

"You are not stupid at all, you just started learning chess too late. But I believe that as long as you keep working hard, you will make great progress in time."

"Well, I will definitely work hard and try to defeat you as soon as possible."

Qi Yejing was amused by her.

"If your target is me, then I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Without exaggeration, his chess skills are better than those chess doctors in the Hanlin Academy, let alone a little girl like her.

Yun Zhining doesn't have any good points except that she is very competitive. It would have been fine if he didn't say it, but once he did, her competitive spirit was aroused.

"Is Your Majesty so confident?"

"That is required."

"Okay, then do you dare to make a bet with me? If I beat you, you will give me a golden medal of immunity from death."

"Well, if you can beat me in chess, I will give you a death-free gold medal and guarantee you three times of safety."

"make a deal!"

"Come on, come on, I just don't believe it. I can't beat you."

Qi Yejing then suffered the biggest setback in his life. Yun Zhining kept stealing his moves, causing him to regret his moves, steal his moves again, and regret his moves again, in an endless cycle. In the end, he was completely exhausted.

"No more!"

"Yun Zhining, you're going too far. If you keep doing this, how long will it take to finish the game?"

"You are an excellent man and I am a clumsy woman. Can't you just give in to me?"

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look. From the beginning to the end of this game, I let you go sixteen times, you stole twenty-three of my chess pieces, and ruined the game thirty-seven times. Isn't that enough for you?"

He is more wronged than Dou E!

Seeing Qi Yejing so furious that his hair almost stood up, Yun Zhining could only quit while she was ahead.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late. Let's stop playing and get ready for bed, okay?"

Qi Yejing was very angry.

I don't want to pay any attention to her at all.

But Yun Zhining always finds a way.

I held his face, kissed him several times, and said a lot of nice things to him, and finally I coaxed him into peace.

Seeing that he had changed his clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep, Yun Zhining opened the incense burner, threw a black pill into it, and went back to sleep contentedly.

I don’t know if it’s because there have been too many things happening in the court recently, or if he was too angry when playing chess with Yun Zhining tonight, but Qi Yejing actually had a rare nightmare.

And the dream is double.

The scene in the first level of the dream is very familiar.

On New Year's Eve, everyone was attending a dinner at Baoyue Tower and enjoying the fireworks. There were so many people and it was so lively. Suddenly, the railing broke and Yun Zhining fell from the high platform, her life or death unknown.

But he saw that it was the people around Concubine Wende who took action.

In a blink of an eye, he was back in the Imperial Garden.

This time, he saw the palace maid who attacked Yun Zhining again, but the person standing opposite her was not Yun Zhining, but Zhang.

He couldn't hear clearly what the two of them were saying, but he remembered clearly that on that day, at this very spot, Yun Zhining, who was due to give birth a month later, was attacked by a venomous snake. If Zhou Baozhu hadn't stepped forward, Yun Zhining would have died, and he wouldn't have had a daughter as cute as Little Putao.

So, these two things were done by Concubine Wende?

If this is true, this woman is too scary.

If Ying really gave birth to a prince and she took him away, when the child grew up and could take over the affairs of the court, would she get rid of him like she did Yun Zhining, and support her adopted son to ascend the throne and become the new emperor of Daye?

No, he absolutely couldn't let this happen.

Absolutely not!

Qi Yejing woke up from his dream and sat there until the court was about to start. When Yun Zhining woke up and heard about this, she just smiled and didn't say anything.

It will be soon. The day Ying gives birth will be the day Concubine Wende dies.

In the next few months, she had to find more evidence against Concubine Wende so that she could deal a fatal blow to her at the last minute and completely eliminate this competitor to prevent future troubles.
