The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

The competition venue is in the middle of the hall. The men's and women's venues are separated by a landscape screen, and the viewing area is around it.

The tea party chess competition is divided into two rounds. The first round is to break the game. There are ten ancient chess endgames, and the time for one stick of incense is up. If you can break five of them, you will pass the preliminary round.

The second round uses a two-on-two game format, and the winner will be determined in the end, one male and one female.

As everyone took their seats one after another, Xiao Chengchang immediately caught sight of the beautiful green figure in the middle of the women's arena, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Xie Jiusi glanced at Xiao Chengchang coldly and was about to let Gan He give the order to start.

Yan Xu, who was standing by, said something to Li Shushi. Li Shushi was slightly stunned, then quickly nodded and smiled.

Xie Jiusi looked at the smiles on their faces and raised his thick eyebrows slightly.

Su Yue saw that they received their license plates relatively late, so their numbers were at the back and their seats were also at the back.

Meng Ange and Lin Mengran were sitting in the front. When they saw Su Yuejian, Su Wan and others sitting down, they snorted coldly and walked to the front with their chins held high.

The news of Su Yuejian and Meng Ange's bet had already spread.

At this moment, everyone watching the game was talking about it.

"Princess Minghua is really good-tempered. That Princess Yilun is clearly trying to take advantage of her. How can a gold shop compare to the Mermaid's Tears?"

"I saw it all down there just now. Princess Minghua refused, but Princess Yilun insisted on making a bet with her."

"I don't know how good Princess Minghua is at chess. Princess Yilun took third place in the last chess tournament."

"Princess Minghua has been blind for many years, how can she compare to her in chess skills? This Princess Yilun is simply bullying!"

For a moment, the noble ladies were filled with indignation and looked at Su Yuejian with concern.

Gu Xiyue listened to their conversation and felt very happy.

It would be better if I couldn't compete with her. Why should Su Yuejian get all the good things?

Soon, Gan He stood up and said loudly,

"Everyone, as you've all just seen, this year we're fortunate to have Master Yan Xu as the judge for this chess tournament. Therefore, the rules are different this year than in previous years. There can only be one winner of this year's Hibiscus Tea Party chess tournament."

Everyone was puzzled.

"What do you mean? Only one? How can we compare?"

Gan He continued, "The two winners of the second round will face off against each other to determine the winner. All those who advance to the second round will receive a gift from the Xie family. This year's winner will receive not only the Xie family's prize, a Shuiyunjian jade plaque, but also a reward from Master Yan Xu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere exploded.

"The Shuiyunjian Jade Plate, is it the Shuiyunjian Jade Plate I know?"

"Shuiyunjian doesn't have any other jade tokens. Isn't this the one that allows you to be treated as the most honored guest at any store owned by the Xie family, and buy anything for free?"

"This year's Hibiscus Tea Party is truly a grand occasion, and there are even prizes from Master Yan Xu!!!"

"Master Yan Xu is such a great man! If I could get his prize, I could brag about it for the rest of my life!"

"But I've never heard of a man and a woman playing chess against each other. It's really new!"

"What's the big deal? Such an expensive and rare prize, it's normal to only have one winner!"

The students and ladies were all discussing it in whispers.

At this time, the gong sounded, and the maids and servants came in one after another. The servants went to the men's competition field on the left, and the maids went to the women's competition field on the right.

Maids or servants stood at the side of the table, each guarding a contestant and responsible for setting up the chess board.

After setting up the chessboard, if the contestants have determined a way to break the game, they will be asked to record the way to break the game and check the result of the break.

If you cannot solve this game, you can also solve the next endgame first.

Gan He lit the incense and candles and shouted, "The game begins!"

The hall suddenly became very quiet. Everyone in the competition field was concentrating on solving the endgame, and the people watching the game didn't dare to make a sound.

People began to solve the endgame one after another, and in a blink of an eye, Meng Angge had solved the third game.

Everyone in the spectator area stared at Su Yuejian, wanting to know how good Princess Minghua was at chess.

Even Xie Jiusi and others sitting on the judge's bench had their eyes on Su Yuejian, but Su Yuejian was reluctant to let the maid beside her record the chess moves that would break the game.

He just kept asking the maid to set up a game of unfinished games.

"It seems like Princess Minghua can't even solve a single game..."

Someone in the spectator seats muttered quietly, and everyone looked at the man who said it, and the man immediately fell silent.

Su Yuejian, however, remained calm and composed, "Next round."

The maid who was arranging the dishes whispered a reminder, "Princess, this is already the eighth dish. There are only two left. Anyway, there is less than a quarter of an hour left. Why don't you study it again?"

Su Yuejian looked at her. The little maid looked at her beautiful face and encouraged her sincerely, "It's okay, as long as you can break five games, don't be too anxious, princess!"

Su Yuejian smiled and said, "Okay, next game."

The smile on the little maid's face froze. Well, what she said was in vain.

Xie Jiusi looked at the confused smile on Su Yuejian's face, and the corners of his mouth also curled up.

Half an incense stick of time passed, and Meng Angge finally solved five games. He turned around and saw Su Yuejian still looking at the first game, holding a teacup, wondering what he was thinking.

I sneered in my heart. With this level of skill, he still wants to play against her. It seems that he can't even pass this first level.

She couldn't help but feel even more proud, because the mermaid tears were hers.

Seeing that the incense was almost burned out, Su Yuejian still hadn't solved a game.

Everyone looked at her anxiously, wondering if Princess Minghua couldn't be able to solve a single game.

Su Yuejian glanced at Xiang and slowly put down the teacup.

"Hey, it's moving, Minghua County has taken the initiative!" someone said excitedly.

I saw Su Yuejian solving the problem at an extremely fast speed.

"time up!"

Gan He shouted.

The maids and servants put away their pens and papers and handed over their chess strategies and verification results.

Soon, Gan He came out with the list and announced the results.

There are ten men and eight women selected.

Gan He finished reading the list of men and read out the names from highest to lowest according to the number of solutions.

Shen Wenshu, broke the ninth game, Liu Shanshan, broke the eighth game, ... Princess Yilun, broke the eighth game...

Meng Ange looked at Su Yuejian proudly, but saw that her face was calm and the smile on her lips froze for a moment.

What to pretend!

Gan He continued, "Gu Xiyue, broke seven games, Su Wan, broke six games."

Meng Ange's face turned ugly for a moment. He didn't expect that this merchant girl had something special.

"Hu Ying, break the sixth game..."

Until the list was almost finished, everyone still hadn't heard Su Yuejian's name, and they couldn't help but get nervous.

As the names of the first seven people were read out and only the last name was left, everyone consciously quieted down.

Seeing Su Yuejian still leisurely drinking tea, Lin Mengran had a look of disdain on her face and was pretending to be arrogant. She must have known that she was going to make a fool of herself and was thinking of a way to deal with it.

She sneered, "Ha! You won't be able to pretend any longer!"

The last person was Lin Mengran. She had counted it earlier and found that she had broken five games in total, which was just right.
