The last round of the women's competition.

The one playing against Su Yuejian was Liu Shanshan from the Minister of Personnel's family, who had just defeated Su Wan in the second round.

Su Yuejian didn't know her, but she still remained polite and waited for half an incense stick of time.

Gan He held up the chessboard and showed it to the others, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He then shouted, "Princess Minghua, you've won three games in a row, the most among women."

Li Shushi exclaimed, "Princess Minghua's chess skills are truly exceptional. She's a promising talent. Master Yan, would you like to reconsider your previous statement that you would never accept a disciple?"

Yan Xu looked at the girl in the audience, his eyes slightly narrowed, and did not answer.

Everyone noticed Yan Xu's look and discussed it in a low voice.

"Princess Minghua's chess skills are truly outstanding among her peers. How could even Master Yan Xu look down on her?"

"What do you know? Princess Minghua is Gu Congyu's granddaughter!"

"So what? Isn't that a good thing?"

"Oh, I heard that Gu Congyu lost a chess game to Master Yan Xu. Afterwards, I don't know what happened, but Master Yan Xu and Gu Congyu had a complete falling out. It can be said that their relationship is like water and fire."

"Ah! No wonder, who would want to take their sworn enemy's granddaughter as their apprentice? It's a shame that Princess Minghua is such a great chess player!"

Su Yuejian glanced at the people in higher positions and slowly lowered her eyes.

After a while, the results of the men's competition came out. As expected, the men's champion was Wang Jingcheng.

Wang Jingcheng stared in amazement at the bright and beautiful girl sitting opposite him.

The last time he went to the Taifu Mansion, he heard that she was in poor health and sick. Neither he nor the other people in the Wang family had seen her.

Her remarks to the students of the Imperial College today were still fresh in her mind. She had never expected that the rumored Princess Minghua was not only beautiful and talented, but also had such a shocking character.

"Second cousin, please." Su Yuejian said politely.

"Ah? Ah!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and Wang Jingcheng's cheeks felt a little hot. "Okay, okay."

The two players place the chess pieces and play against each other.

The person in front of him had skin as white as snow, and her elegant and extraordinary face was so attractive that Wang Jingcheng was a little distracted at first when he looked at Su Yuejian's fair and pretty face.

But as the game went on, Wang Jingcheng discovered that the chess skills of the person in front of him were not simple. His expression became more and more serious, and he was completely focused on the chess game.

A stick of incense passed by.

Looking at the board full of chess pieces, everyone in the spectator area stretched their necks.

"Who do you think will be the champion this year?"

"It must be the young master of the Wang family. I heard that he passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen."

"What does this have to do with whether or not I pass the imperial examination? Playing chess isn't an imperial examination!"

"Hey, you didn't see it. Just now in the men's competition, Young Master Wang was so dominant that he was almost as fast as Princess Minghua in winning the game."

"Yes, and in the first round, he broke all ten endgames, while Princess Minghua only broke five!"

"However, Princess Minghua lost her sight early in life, so it's very rare for her to win the women's championship. It's okay if she loses."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Wang Jingcheng stood up.

The man said, "See, I told you that Prince Wang would definitely win!"

Everyone sighed for Princess Minghua.

"Did Yue'er lose? Oh, I was thinking that I wouldn't have to spend money to eat and buy things at Shuiyunjian in the future!" Wang Qingyi said a little disappointedly.

"Isn't Young Master Wang your brother?" Zhou Min said, "Give him the jade token, and you won't lose out!"

"He's so old-fashioned and stingy!" Wang Qingyi said with disdain, "It would take a lucky break to give me the jade token."

"Even if you win, the jade token also belongs to Sister Yue." Zhou Wangzhi stared at Wang Qingyi coldly.

The implication is that even if she wins, the jade token belongs to Su Yuejian, so what does it have to do with her?

Although his eyes were cold, his chubby little face made him look much less intimidating.

Wang Qingyi pinched his little face with both hands, rubbed it and said, "Little carrot head, you are just jealous. You are just jealous that I can go out and play with Yue'er!"

Zhou Wangzhi was not willing to be outdone, so he raised his hand to pinch Wang Qingyi's face, but unfortunately his arm was too short, and Wang Qingyi dodged it.

Su Wan and Zhou Min looked at the quarrel between the big and the small, feeling helpless.

"Yue'er doesn't seem to have lost." Hearing Su Wan's voice, the two immediately stopped pulling and looked at the field.

Wang Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Anyone who makes up for his own weakness when the enemy is at peace has the intention of destroying them. Anyone who abandons the weak and does not save them has the intention of seeking greater things. Your Highness, this is a brilliant move. I am convinced of my defeat."

Su Yuejian stood up and bowed.

Gan He took the chessboard to the upper position.

Li Shushi's eyes were full of surprise, and he laughed out loud.

"Great, great! Hahaha, this old man has really broadened his horizons today. Not only did I get to hear Princess Minghua's unique insights, but I also got to see her brilliant moves. It's truly wonderful!"

Gan He shouted, "The champion of this year's chess competition is Princess Minghua!"

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and the next second there was thunderous applause.

"That's amazing! Doesn't it mean that Princess Minghua has been blind for many years?"

"I told you, Princess Minghua is incredibly talented, and her chess skills must be pretty good!"

"Did you say that the winner would definitely be the young master of the Wang family?"

"Oh, you heard wrong. I always believed that Princess Minghua would win the championship!"

Listening to the endless praises from all around, the jealousy in Gu Xiyue's eyes was about to overflow.

Gan He handed over the jade plaque, "Congratulations, Princess."

Su Yuejian smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Xie Jiusi's eyebrows curved slightly as he looked at Su Yuejian in the room. She was isolated and alone, like the halo of a new moon, the setting sun casting golden rays, and the girl's hair was shining.

After seeing Su Yuejian receive the jade token, someone suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion.

"Hey, I wonder what Master Yan Xu's prize is?"

"Yes, there is also a prize from Master Yan Xu this year, but Princess Minghua is Gu Congyu's granddaughter after all. Will Master Yan Xu..."

Everyone looked at Master Yan Xu on the field.

The middle-aged man had a calm expression, showing no emotion, and he didn't order anyone to deliver the prize.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This couldn't be possible. In public, was Master Yan Xu really going to go back on his word?

Xie Jiusi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The Xie family chess competition always sends invitations to Master Yan Xu, but I didn’t expect that he would accept the invitation this year.

Xie Jiusi was also surprised when he received his reply.

Just now, it was Yan Xu who took the initiative to propose that there should be only one leader.

But now he was silent. He was lost in thought when a servant came in quickly and whispered something to Gan He.

Gan He had a strange expression on his face, then leaned over and told Xie Jiusi.

Xie Jiusi frowned slightly, but soon recovered his composure.

Meng Ange looked at Su Yuejian who was standing alone in the venue, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Oh, so what if I win? I still have to be humiliated now!

And it was a great humiliation in public!

Meng Ange felt very happy in his heart and looked at Su Yuejian with contempt.

"Master Yan Xu, Princess Minghua has been in the Taifu Mansion since she was young. The grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with the younger generation."

Xiao Chengchang looked at Su Yuejian who was still standing quietly, and took the opportunity to speak up for her.

The girl stood there for a long time before speaking coldly.

"How long do we have to wait?"
