My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"Really? That's great." The emperor smiled with satisfaction upon hearing that Xiaoyanzi was about to learn to read. "I didn't expect Xiaoyanzi to be so eager to learn. I'm afraid Ertai will have to work hard during this period."

When the emperor said this, his tone was full of surprise, and the expression on his face was even more intriguing.

After all, in this world, only men understand men better.

Just like women understand women better.

What's more, I am also an experienced person and I have long been familiar with all the love and affection in the world.

"That's right, Your Majesty, do you know that I really admire you for being able to speak four words at a time? Sometimes, a line of poetry pops out of your mouth while you're talking. It's truly amazing. So I also want to be like you, but I'm not greedy. As long as I know a little bit, it will be fine. At least I won't make a fool of myself in public."

Xiaoyanzi is well aware that she is not well educated.

So her only requirement for herself was to be able to read and not make a fool of herself when traveling.

The Queen looked at Xiaoyanzi's modesty and said, "Xiaoyanzi, please don't underestimate yourself. From the first moment I saw you, I thought you were a very smart child. As long as you want to learn, you will definitely be able to learn."

"Ah, thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Xiaoyanzi said as she looked at the other gifts, her mouth wide open with excitement. "Your Majesty, there are so many beautiful fabrics here. Are these for Ziwei and me?"

"Yes, these fabrics are the latest satin. When the time comes, you two can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask someone to take your measurements and make you some beautiful clothes."

The Queen waved to the eunuchs, signaling them to put all the satin on the table. Then she stepped forward and took Ziwei's hand, but her eyes stayed on what Rong Mama was holding.

Aunt Rong bent down, walked forward and opened the lid.

"Ziwei, the emperor insisted on playing chess with me just now, but my chess skills are not good and every time I play chess with the emperor, he always gives me two pieces. But even if he gives me two pieces, I still lose. Besides, I heard that you are very good at chess, Ziwei. How about you play two games with the emperor? I can just sit there and learn from you."

After the queen finished speaking, she quickly stood up and let Ziwei sit in her seat.

Ziwei was so frightened that she immediately stood up from her seat, "Empress Mother, this... why are you standing up? You are the Empress, how can I sit in this seat?"

"That's fine." The emperor stopped her, "Ziwei, just sit here. Otherwise, how can you play chess with me?"

Rong Mama and Xiaoyanzi tactfully brought two chairs and placed them next to the emperor and Ziwei respectively.

Then Xiaoyanzi helped the Empress to sit down on the seat next to the Emperor and brought a cushion to place behind her. "Your Majesty, this will make you more comfortable."

"Xiaoyanzi, please sit down quickly too."

When the queen saw that Xiaoyanzi was so considerate to her, the smile on her face became even brighter and her eyes were full of doting.

I wish Xiaoyanzi was my own child.

"Father Emperor, please let me go." Ziwei saw several of her black pieces being eaten in a row, so she begged for mercy, "It looks like I'm going to lose miserably."

The emperor smiled and placed a move, half jokingly saying, "Hey, Ziwei, don't be so modest. From the moment you made your first move, I could tell you're an extraordinary chess player. Furthermore, the queen came here specifically to learn from you. If she doesn't succeed, you, as her teacher, will be held responsible."

"With my chess skills, how dare I be the Empress Dowager's master? I'm planning to ask you, Father, for advice on the art of playing chess." Ziwei said as she placed a black piece on the chessboard and removed several white pieces in succession, turning the situation around.

The emperor looked at the fewer and fewer black pieces on the chessboard, and his expression gradually became solemn. He was seen holding a white piece tightly between his fingertips, his eyes fixed on the chess pieces on the board, his brows furrowed, and for a moment he didn't know how to make a move.

however.

Xiaoyanzi, who was sitting next to them, was already extremely anxious.

I thought to myself: Why does it take so long to think about so many positions?

Little Swallow couldn't wait to point to an empty seat and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, please get off here."

The emperor glanced at the location Xiaoyanzi pointed to and couldn't help laughing. Xiaoyanzi was really good at pointing. Once the piece was placed at this location, the whole army would be wiped out.

Xiaoyanzi saw that the emperor was hesitant to make a move.

So he stood up from his seat, reached out and picked up a black piece to put it on the chessboard, but was stopped by the Queen.

The Queen took Xiaoyanzi's hand and reminded her, "Xiaoyanzi, the two of us can just sit quietly and watch. This is a competition between the Emperor and Ziwei."

Xiaoyanzi pursed her lips in disappointment. "Empress, this game of chess has been going on for so long with no winner, and the Emperor hasn't made a move yet... so I..."

"Hey, Little Swallow, do you know the saying that a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word?" the Emperor said. "Besides, you don't know how to play chess, so don't give blind instructions."

Little Swallow jumped up the moment she heard it.

The Emperor actually said he couldn't play chess?!

How hard could playing chess be? It's just about capturing your opponent's pieces, right? Could this be so difficult for me?

Besides, she doesn't care whether the chess spectator is a gentleman or not.

"Your Majesty, I'm not a gentleman. I, Xiaoyanzi, am just a woman." Xiaoyanzi patted her chest and continued, "What's so difficult about playing chess? You've been holding this chess piece in your hand for so long, thinking about it, but you haven't made a move yet. If it were me, I would have made my move long ago."

When the Queen heard Xiaoyanzi talking like this and was about to remind her not to be so disrespectful to the Emperor, the Emperor suddenly said, "Oh, I didn't expect this little swallow to be so arrogant."

"Your Majesty, this is the truth." Xiaoyanzi turned her head to look at the Empress and Ziwei, then looked back at the Emperor and continued, "Besides, I can help Your Majesty and Ziwei recognize each other as father and daughter. Can playing chess really stump me, Xiaoyanzi?"

As soon as these words came out.

This caused everyone in Shufangzhai to burst into laughter.

The emperor also said that Qing'er was right at the beginning, and Xiaoyanzi was really a happy person.

Seeing everyone laughing so happily, Little Swallow became even more excited. "Then after the Emperor and Ziwei finish playing chess, let me, the Swallow, play a game with the Emperor. I will definitely impress everyone present."

"Okay, okay, because of what you said, today I will make you, a little swallow, understand what it means to be completely defeated."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Please don't let me go later."
